Boycotting Beck

Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist... shocking! Everyone knows African Americans can't be racist - only white folks can be racists. Some American universities openly and proudly teach that simply being white is to be racist; and, if not all whites, then surely all white conservatives.

This outburst by Mr. Beck, one that he has (so far) refused to apologize for, lead to a boycott by some of the advertisers on his daily radio and television programs. I find it funny, and yes, I do mean humorous-funny, that one of the boycotters is Progressive Auto Insurance, not only because of the name "progressive" but also because they happen to be the second largest contributor to moveon.org right after George Soros. What the hell where they doing advertising on Glenn Beck's programs to begin with?

Ratings, my friends, ratings - Glenn Beck's radio and television shows are consistently the highest rated programs in their time slots.

Some say Glenn Beck's vacation last week from Fox News was to let some of the heat surrounding him die down. He's scheduled to return today and although I'm not a regular viewer (I like my politics dull, slow and boring - CSPAN) I'll be checking his Nielsen ratings, should be interesting.

Good luck Glenn, I'm glad you're back, I may even tune in today.

Glenn Beck is the author of Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government.

By the way, why don't we ever hear about African Canadians, African Asians, African Mexicans or African Europeans? They must exist... right? Am I a racist for asking?
