Please contact Glenn Beck’s advertisers and try to demonstrate your deeply held feelings about their continued support for the fraud and bigot Glenn Beck actually is.

1. Contact the advertisers who pulled ads from Glenn’s show and tell them you will buy their products as long as they remain off of FoxNews Channel.
   Tell them how big your family is and what you buy, and how much you plan on spending on their products each month…and how you used to buy their competitor’s product.
   
2. Contact the advertisers who are still advertising on Glenn’s show despite the lies of his astroturf activists.

• Tell them you will buy their competitors’ products until they remove their
  ads back from Glenn Beck’s Show on FoxNews Channel,
  and that it would be a foolish business decision to keep their ads and anger the wrong people, people who actually buy their products.
• Tell them how many people in your family are Fox viewers and how big your extended family is – and what you buy, and how much all of you
  used to spend on their products each month…and how you
  bought their competitor’s product today.
• Ask them when they will be removing their ads on Glenn Beck and let them know that continuing to stand with astroturf extremists only hurts them in the long run.
• Simply say “I know you were advertising on Glenn Beck’s show and I realize you were frightened into keeping your ads because of the pressure created by Fox and Glenn Beck’s supporters. We are a far larger group than his extremists. We actually vote and are educated about the issues –we have a family of X and buy tons of XXX, and the supporters are mainly elderly, uninformed racist bigots. I want to continue to support your company, but if you continue to advertise on Glenn Beck, my family and I will boycott you.” 
• Mention their products by name to show you are a customer. Tell them how much you spend each week on their products.

So you’d think Republicans would have a little patience while we clean up their mess, or, heck, even a little apology for acting a little nuts.

For example:

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.

(The above is a copy/paste of a nice rant about some of the many errors of the Bush admin. This rant has been making the rounds for awhile now and I don’t know where it originated. What follows is an addition.)

Yet you get mad at President Obama for what exactly?

Expanding health care coverage to over 30 million more Americans while making the worst health insurance industry abuses illegal and reducing the deficit? (source)

Credit card reform which protects consumers from credit card company abuses? (source)

Lowering taxes for 95% of working families? (source)

Being on target to cut Bush’s huge deficit in half within four years? (source)

The DOW going from 6500 to over 11000 during his Presidency? (source)

Is it because he signed expanded gun rights into law while not making any moves towards gun control? (source)

The recession reversing with job losses turning into job gains? (source)

Working to reform Wall Street Reform so we don’t experience another economic meltdown like what happened under Bush’s “leadership” in September 2008? (source)

Working to reduce loose nukes in order to decrease the chances of a nuclear attack on the US by terrorists? ( source )

—

Notice those last two are “works in progress.” These are things Obama is trying to do but the Republicans are doing everything they can stop him from being successful on these fronts (similar to how they pulled out every trick in the book to try to stop health care reform.) They don’t seem to care that stopping Obama from getting “political victories” (their biggest concern it seems) may lead to a terrorist nuking a major US city or another economic meltdown.

Think about that. “Country First”? Hardly. The Republican Party of today seems to exist only to further it’s own existence. They will stop at nothing to defeat Obama politically. They don’t care how many lies they have to tell or what the long term consequences are for average Americans.

It’s because of this that I think it’s of very much importance for the future of the United States that the “Republican Tea Party” be defeated this November. Do your part. Make sure you are registered to vote and get to the polls to vote against all Republican Tea Party candidates.

A ND DIDN’T CARE ONE BIT

H ANDED US 2 WARS AND A PILE OF DEBT
O BAMA WANTS TO FIX IT BUT YOU
L OSERS JUST CAN’T SEE
E VERYONE IS HURTING NOW, YOU AND ME

The Republicans scream and yell the most dishonest, offensive, and outrageous statements, repeating them ad nauseum, even going as far as calling the mainstream media “liberal” whenever it tries to correct them on their lies. (The media is in fact right wing and extremely corporate-owned, which is why their lies constantly go unchallenged). Obama and the Democrats seem to simply ignore these screaming imbeciles as if they were nothing more than white noise, while the rest of us in the real world have to put up with the result of their lies. The results usually turn up in casual conversation with neighbors and friends repeating the lies as if it were doctrine.

Obama needs to take the Republicans in the back room and let the beatings begin.  There is absolutely NO excuse for allowing such unforgivable behavior from the right wing to continue.

On a side note…

The Dems need to cull the herd in their own party and start demanding real progressive action.

The Blue Dogs keep putting up with the lies from the right… and then they won’t take action until the damage has been done and corrective actions become laughably ineffective.

I don’t mean to be so rough on my beloved Dems.

Afterall, the Dems don’t have the power of a mainstream media to support their statements. The Republicans scrubbed all of the FCC regulations which once required news media organizations to actually tell the truth. Clinton helped the Republicans when he allowed giant media conglomerates to take over smaller media outlets – thus creating the stronghold that Fox News has today. We went from having tons and tons of independent media news outlets – like newspapers, radio stations, etc that were privately owned – to media outlets that are all owned by less than a handful of different organizations — ABC, NBC, Fox, etc. In the end, you end up with a vacuum where facts go to die – and info-tainment is the norm.

But back to my point… The Dems need to grow a set and help Obama find a spine…because you certainly can’t expect anything good to come from a screaming eight year old monster child Republican.

We let them doubt ourselves on abortion, single parenthood, genderhood, homosexuality, infidility, spending, taxes, you name it, they control the argument.

Hell, I’m surprised we haven’t started scratching our heads on evolution and global warming.

The media might be on the Republicans’ side of the argument – but that doesn’t make them right about ANYTHING.

Yelling louder doesn’t make you correct.  You can have your own opinions but you can’t have your own facts.

Clinton really dropped the ball when he kept denying his affair with Monica Lewinsky.  If he had only said “so?” or “it’s private, my family and I are dealing with this”.  In other words, if we had simply separated the job from the private life, we would’ve all been better off.

It’s not hard for them to control the argument, even when they are wrong.  They own and control 90% of all domestic media – print, radio, television, etc.  If you want to find out anything about what’s going on, factually, you have to go to the liberals for information

If you want to be pounded to a numb, mindless, non-thinking neocon, well you simply turn on any “news” channel in any part of this country, and you’ll hear what THEY want you to hear.

Politically, they are masters.

But they are not academics or experts in any field, except deception.

It sounds crazy to say it, but it’s true.

If you don’t fight off the nonsense, you end up finally backing down and forcing yourself to somehow agree with them.

I have been fighting this for the past decade – and I keep wondering when everyone else will, too.

The rightwing conveniently creates arguments that favor their point of view.  In their mind, if they didn’t see it happen, it never existed.  With that kind of thinking, you end up with flat-earthers who refuse to believe anytyhing other than what the simpleton idiot on TV said, then it must not be true of an “expert” challenged it.

It’s really easy to dumb someone down if you yell at them long enough.

They’ve proven this point over and over again.

What we need is to finally wake up and take back our dignity.

Refuse to be bullied – and start sticking up for ourselves.

If you don’t stick up for what’s right (which in this case, is the left!), then you won’t have anyone left to stick up for you.

When you listen to a rightwing talk show, it becomes immediately evident that they don’t care about what’s right and wrong – but about right and left.  And to them, everything left is wrong.  I laugh when I see the tagline on Fox’s “Fair and Balanced”.

Sometimes you can make bullies go away by ignoring them.  But the worst ones don’t.  These aren’t kids we’re dealing with.  These are adults who’ve learned how to never back down – how to manipulate every story to make sure they get everything they want (even if it’s not what they deserve).  To them, it’s all about winning, no matter how.  I’ve learned in life that the only way you can make a bully go away is by really standing up to them.

And we’ve forgotten how to do that.  We try so hard to be nice and accommodating.  But what we need to do is to stick up for ourselves by seeing through their phoney fake outrage.  Their false arguments.  Their offensive blame the victim mentality.  These guys use every argument in the book to get out of taking responsibility – and they KNOW it.  They’re masters at it.  And we’ve got fight them – We’ve got to call them out on it and refuse to remain silent.

We need to stop backing down and start standing up to them.

For starters, we need daily reminders of what we stand for.  We are liberals.  We care about making sure everyone and everything on this “boat” called a planet is treated with respect and fairness.  In a nutshell: Liberals want a “we” society.

Rightwingers want a “me” society – a survival game of the fittest, where the strongest celebrate their conquests and the weakest are thrown to the wolves.
Our culture celebrates and rewards the wealthiest, unruliest, and most manipulative.  And for the weakest, we’ve been taught to either blame the victim or ignore those we don’t want deal with – the sick, the poor, and the wronged.

In our culture, we know that it’s wrong, but we’ve learned that nothing bad happens if you simply “go with the flow” and let bad things happen to those who may not deserve it.  Lefties have been trained to simply accept bad things that happen to good people.

We’ve become numb.

This has been going on now for the last 30-40 years.  It started when we started accepting the denegrating the Hippy of the 60′s and 70′s.  Someone would say “you dirty hippy” or “go get a job” and we’d feel bad to be associated with someone like that.  When I was a kid, hippies were an inspiration to me.  They truly cared about everything and everyone.  And when someone spoke badly of them, I sided with the hipppie.  It made my stomach turn to see such beautiful people treated so badly.

In my heart, hippies were misunderstood, much the same way Native Americans were – who were wrongly labeled as savages and such.  The movies “Avatar” and “Dances with Wolves” have done a beautiful job at reminding people of who they were, and still are today.  There needs to be a movie about the Hippy.  At least one that doesn’t paint them as jobless drug addicts with conspiracy theories.

To me, hippies were extremely educated, colorful, non-violent, passionate people – who were often vegetarians – who cared about every aspect of society.  From the fallen trees to the slaughtered and forgotten.  And they weren’t afraid to get out into the streets and protest.  They weren’t afraid of anything.  They stood up to police dressed in riot gear, shielded on horseback, and proud of being a-hole jackboot thugs.  Hippies had heart and passion.  And they certainly weren’t the same kind of lefties we’ve got today, trying to make peace with the cons on the right who do nothing but spread fear and false statements.

Today’s Tea Party is the only group of people who seem to get any kind of police protection – and they’re out there being illiterate, angry racists who refuse to have rationale conversations with you.  Half of them are getting VA care or are on Medicare, screaming about the need to stop government-run healthcare.  The irony of their arguments could fill a book.  And, yes, they get police protection for their KKK-lite rallies.  No riot gear protection from these folks – save that for the peaceniks and do-gooders at the lefty silent marches and rallies.

On a side note – I recently heard a story about someone who was outside of the Tea Party Nation event in Tenessee, where Sarah Palin was speaking.  A man was standing there with a sign about Obama being a “muslin”.  He tried to explan to the misinformed man that Obama was not Muslim – and that if somehow he were, we should try to have a more open mind about othere cultures.  Well, guess what happened next?  A police officer came right over to him and told him that he needed to “leave these people alone” – that they have a right to speak out in public.  The officer pulled the guy aside and said, took all of his information, that he was going to let him go “with a warning”.  A warning….for the guy who was trying to peacefully point out an error in fact.

How can we stand up for ourselves when we can’t even get the law on our side?

How do you stand up and demand justice when our culture and laws now favor the very people who hate government the most??

The answer, to me, is in the misunderstood Hippy.  They stood up for human rights, equality, and justice, the environment and labor, even when they had nothing left to lose.  There were so many who were willing to stand up for what was right.  Now, we simply accept being made fun of.

Imagine what we could’ve prevented if we had refused to accept the words “get over it, you lost” when they stole an election?

Imagine what could still been done if we had refuse to back down when we hear another arugment from a rightwinger about why should give them another chance.

It’s to stand up to the bullies.

It’s time.
