          First, slander is spoken word. The word you're looking for is "libel" and for you to post this rant on this thread is hilarious. What was stated on this piece is simple fact.

        It's actually lobby groups that represent manufacturers of soft drinks and sugary drinks. It doesn't really concern me. I cut such beverages out of the family diet a long time ago, so I won't be paying even if they do manage to enact such a tax. It's funny how this lobby's commercials are portraying it as a strain on the family budget.

      None of the Sponsors have left Fox. They've simply asked for their commercials to be show at a different time.

      Seeing that Beck is the number 2 show on Fox. I'd say that's a stupid move.

      I have seen lifelock commercials on his show and his radio show.

      His show on Wednesday had The Weekly Standard.

      The point is.. Beck made the comment months ago. If you're not seeing certain advertisers now, then they probably stopped running ads on Fox or Fox moved those ads.

      But, it can't be linked to Beck calling Obama a Racist.

      Didn't Obama throw his white Grandma under the bus?

        I'll just address your last two "points."

        1) the campaign to write letters to the advertisers WAS based upon Beck's ridiculous rant regarding Obama, and
        2) No, Obama die not "throw his white Grandma under the bus," he stated a fact. His grandmother had institutionalized racist tendencies . . . she wasn't a racist; however, she did hold some of the beliefs which were indicative of the times in which she lived. My 97 year old grandmother is not a racist at all; however, she still holds to some of the beliefs which were prevalent at the times in which she lived. It's human nature.

        Educate yourself . . . the first step would be to turn off Fox and hate talk radio. They're lying to you and they are not conservative in any way, shape or form.

        Yes, someone has to take a stand for race baiting.

        I will go out of my way on a daily basis to support any company that sponsors Glenn Beck and the Fox News Channel.
        I recommend you patronize the gold shysters... er...buyers first.
