Has Glen Beck Responded About His loss of Advertisers?

[romantico]

I refuse to listen to him. I will not even watch a video clip those post of him in the video forum. I was however curious if he had anything to say about his advertisers. Anyone hear anything?

1. I don't have the stomach

to watch him either. I rather doubt he's said anything though.

I've been tempted to record his show and fast-forward to the commercials to see what advertisers he has left. Think I need a few drinks first though.

2. I watched some last night..

Saw nothing about it...

He was really off the deep end... He cried...

He did have an interesting little section about eugenics which grew here in the U.S. back in Wilson's day.. And how that was embraced by Germany and was taken to it's logical conclusion. A dark spot in US history when we actually did sterilize people under law that isn't taught in history books.

Then he went off into deep tin foil hat land and I tuned out.

3. He cried AGAIN??? Good grief. nt

7. The problem with doing outrageous things on TV

is you have to keep topping your last antic. After awhile crying becomes redundant, so he'll have to find more crazy stuff to do and say. The American people have such a short attention span. Once he stops being shocking and entertaining, they'll just tune into someone else. Crazy is hard to sustain.

16. Perhaps he will start having seizure's

or talking in tongues ...

17. A real life Howard Beale?

Life is actually imitating art and it's really freaky.

11. You can find the video in the Political Video Forum, it was posted yesterday

The man is completely nuts.

6. He should be crying over the loss of his sponsors. nt

9. On that issue he is right but he fails to see that hate mongering is

the catalyst for that kind of idiocy. My family was a victim of those eugenics practices.

[PretzelWarrior]

13. which law was that, newcomer? don't come armed with inuendo. come with facts.

so have at it. what laws in this country related to Eugenics caused people to be forced into sterilization?

4. Is that what he's shedding tears

over?

5. Has he again asked his listeners to murder liberals?

8. Not so far as I know, but yesterday Billo scored him on Inglis' comments.

Billo had Beck in the interviewee's chair and rolled the clip of Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC) telling his town hall attendees to "turn off Glenn Beck" because he "traffics in fear." O'Reilly agreed with Inglis and ended up calling Beck a "fearmonger" to his face while patting himself on the back for having reasonable discussions. Amusing stuff.

14. .

:rofl:

[PatSeg]

18. Oh yeah

I can see that. Glen Beck is a threat to Billo. Beck even makes O'Reilly look relatively sane.

10. I was shocked to see his viewer numbers

Of course watching his show does not mean you agree with what he says, but it's all the same as far as raw numbers go.

And there will always be somebody who only cares about the bottom line--money.

12. "My advertisers no longer surround me"

Kidding, but I could imagine him saying something to that effect.

[TxRider]

15. Well if it's any consolation..

I run a message board, RW'ers hold a small majority and political talk is rife..

The comment I saw today was

"Glenn Beck cried on TV AGAIN today..."

"jesus christ dude. get a sex change already. make it 0fficial."

Followed by 2 pages of approval of that sentiment.

19. Thanks for the report.
