      Well, duh! When Beck bites the broadcasting dust, that's one less cave-dwelling right-wing hominid to provide comedic fodder for Colbert! And just think, much (if not most) of the right thinks Colbert really is one of them...

      From TP:

      "About a dozen companies have withdrawn their commercials" from Glenn Beck’s Fox News show, following Beck’s claim late last month that President Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." In recent days, ConAgra, Geico, Procter & Gamble and the insurance company Progressive have all moved their ads to other programs.

      It amazes me how many do think he's a righty but that only proves how gullable the uneducated are.

      Becks' PeckerHeads aren't going to like this. Their poor hero is being singled out. All I can say is..YES HE IS. The advertisers are singling out the guy who will cost them business. It is the duty to their stockholders to make money, not lose it. (I feel so Free Marketee after saying that).

        Ah, yes good thing Obama hasn't had a chance to completely eliminate the free market (according to Beck) before the free market got a chance to abandon Beck!

      Was a good skit, but my all time favorite is still Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner

      Glen Beck is a very irresponsible talking head and is evil in saying Obama is racist when Obama is half white and loved his mom and grandparents! Glen is an alcoholic who is still living off his hangovers. Colbert is a hoot and he is right on the money when it comes to Beck and his lying-a_ _ phonies.

      Beck wont bite the dust because of this so stop dreaming, whether you agree with Beck or not. If it was Colbert making some boneheaded comment, we wouldn't want to see our buddy steven run off the air, it is all free speech after all. Colbert is good because he draws both political sides into his comedy with sympathetic comments for each side. it doesn't matter if he is a lib or pub. it is important to let people know colbert is irrelavent in the political process, he is a humorist, the muse in ceasar's hall. his freedoms and liberty will be one of the first to get penalized if ceasar has his way.
