FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda. But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy.

Tell FOX News advertisers to cancel their ads: http://www.democrats.com/boycott-fox-news-advertisers?cid=ZGVtczExMjM5NmRlbXM=

Here are some examples of intolerable hate speech and incitement to violence:
6/30/09 Glenn Beck agreed with guest who urged bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear weapons.
7/25/09 Neil Cavuto and guest said health care reform will impose universal euthanasia like "Soylent Green."
7/28/09 Glenn Beck said "The President has exposed himself as a guy .. who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a racist."
8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

We join with FoxNewsBoycott and Color Of Change in this boycott, which is already producing outstanding results. In the first week, 11 advertisers cancelled their FOX ads: Campbell Soup, Chrysler, General Motors, Kellogg, Kraft Foods, Lawyers.com, Nestle, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, and Walmart. Read the latest update. Tell FOX News advertisers to cancel their ads:

1. Boycott the Post Office? Well, there's always something...

to be said for that, but this boycotting business is getting a little extreme.

(And now I have to throw away my Brita pitcher, too?)

2. I got a reply from UPS after I told them Beck was a racist.

I told them that I was sending the information about what Beck said to all the 150 people on my email list and I told my friends to boycott UPS until he is off the air. Also told my friends to send it to everyone on their email lists.

They said that sometimes they have to reassess their advertisements and who they will continue to sponsor.
Then they mentioned that a cycle must come around before they can make changes.

Sounded reasonable to me.

I told them that I would be checking within a reasonable time and if I didn't learn that he was off the air/changed his ways I would not need UPS ever again.

3. I am sending to friends and will take note who to boycott

and if I can find the time will try to email or call to let them know
