Glenn Beck also loses Sargento, confirmed by Oliver Willis/MediaMatters
Sargento "won't be airing" ads during Glenn Beck

August 11, 2009 6:43 pm ET by Oliver Willis

Last week I sent an email to Sargento asking about their advertising on Fox News' Glenn Beck in light of Beck's comments about Speaker Pelosi. I received this response:

We deeply appreciate your reaching out to us and sharing your comments and concerns about Sargento ads appearing during "The Glenn Beck Show." We sat down with the marketing department to talk about it and I learned that we buy time periods not specific programs. But in any event, they've made the decision to exclude that program from our future ad rotation. Simply stated, Sargento ads won't be airing during that show. Again, thanks for contacting us.

1. Good to see they have at least a tiny bit of decency. Buy Blue had them as profoundly red
when it came to % of giving to political candidates.

5. I sent them a Thank You.
THANK YOU! I'm a regular, fond consumer of your cheese and I am so relieved that you decided to stop sponsoring Glenn Beck. Now I don't have to choose between principles and cheese. (It would have been painful, but principles would have won.)

I read about it on Democratic Underground where I am an ardent, cheese-loving, liberal Democrat.

6. Beck's 9-12 website's comments feature disabled
Apparently the crazyness got too crazy even for Glenn Beck's 9-12 movement's website -- they disabled the comments function and deleted all comments dated after July 6. From the website: http://www.the912project.com/

8/11 LATE BREAKING TUESDAY UPDATE – The 9-12 Project Focuses On 9-12!
Posted by Editor on August 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

From your 912 Editor – All commenting software on the site has been disabled for the time being.

Please do not read into this any bizarre conspiracy theories. Nothing could be further from the truth. People CAN still communicate with us and other 912-ers, just in a different manner. And in the end, the result will be more efficient communication in a troll-free environment, without some of the pointless rantings to wade through.

_______________________________________________

Dear 9-12ers,

The time has come for us to focus on September 12th.

Read the Mission Statement. Get off the keyboards and on your feet.

That does not mean we have stopped listening or that we do not want to hear from you. On the contrary – WE NEED TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING. We encourage you to send us emails about your local activities.

Send those emails here

Obviously we will share any important information on the site as soon as possible.

And to those of you who are showing up and talking to people about your beliefs, remember that we are looking for video links to youtube postings from all of these events!

The 912 Editor

FROM AN ILLINOIS 9-12 GROUP

On September 17, 1787, forty-two of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention held their final meeting. Only one item of business occupied the agenda that day: to sign the Constitution of the United States of America.

The HOI9-12 Project is organizing a “We the People Protest” for everyone who is concerned that their rights and freedoms are in jeopardy. This is a peaceful, non partisan protest for voters to express their concerns and demand that our elected officials represent the principles and values of the constitution that we as Americans stand for. All who have concerns are welcome.

The protest will be held at the Peoria County Courthouse on Thursday, September 17th from noon to 2:00 in the courtyard. We will have speakers, music, and a huge copy of the constitution for anyone to sign.

This is going to be a huge event and we invite all of you to attend!!! Please pass the information on to as many people as you can.

Help us say “We’ve had ENOUGH” of politics as usual, outrageous and uncontrolable spending, and elected officials who do not listen to us! Help us remind them there is a little document called the constitution that they need to read and start paying attention to!

8. From your link:
"Dear 912ers,

Monday’s USA TODAY Op-Ed piece from Speaker Pelosi and Steny Hoyer called the actions of protesters UN-American. How dare they?"

9. My email to Sargento...
Thank you for pulling your advertising from the Glen Beck Show. As a long time customer I had made the decision to stop buying your wonderful product until you took appropriate action. I am happy to say I will support your product gladly.
My pasta sauce is so much better with Sargento.

12. Is this #5 or #6 for Beck?
This is either the fifth or sixth advertiser that Glenn Beck has recently had jump ship on him. I know GEICO just bailed on Crazy Glenn, but I'm unsure of which number this is? Does anybody know how many advertisers have bailed on Beck as of now?
