If you have a minute and feel so inclined, I'm sure these companies would love to read some notes of thanks. ;)

Redstate lashes out at "Obama Brownshirts," calls for boycott of companies dropping Beck's show

August 14, 2009 1:30 pm ET by Media Matters staff


Apparently panicked over ColorOfChange.org's increasingly successful efforts to hold Glenn Beck and Fox News accountable for Beck's race-baiting, right-wing websites have gone into full attack mode. At Redstate, for example, Erick Erickson defends Beck's assertion that President Obama is a "racist," claiming that "it's not a stretch to say it." Erickson goes on to call for a boycott of companies that have pulled out of Beck's show and who, according to Erickson, are "kowtowing to Barack Obama's worshippers, brownshirts, goons, and thugs." He writes:

We need to strike back and boycott these groups for ditching Beck. If they are going to fold so easily in the face of Obama brownshirts, we must push back. If not, who'll be next?

Here's the list of the groups that have boycotted Glenn Beck. Let them know you disagree. Let them know you will boycott them for kowtowing to Barack Obama's worshippers, brownshirts, goons, and thugs.

1. Yeah! And...and...boycott anyone boycotting those who boycott the boycotters!
We'll show 'em! We won't stop until EVERYONE is completely out of business! It's the American way.
