3. 1.5 million knuckledraggin' rethug racists, and 1.5 million who like an absolute TRAINWRECK/circus!

8. Every other week, my buddy from Philly calls and asks...

"Did you see what that Beck guy said?"

and I say "No, and I don't watch Hannity or O'Reily either."

[Divine Discontent]

16. my mum used to watch all that stuff, I begged her to just tune them out

yes, when they do something maaaaajorly stupid, then yeah, I wanna know it, but otherwise, their regular amount of douchebaggery, I don't care about.

6. That boycott campaign really proved useful n/t

[Mike Daniels]

14. Boycott was pretty much a "wash" as far as Fox's profit margin went

Very few companies cut advertising from FOX altogether. They just shifted the money to spots on other programs.

As long as Beck isn't actually costing FOX money and pulls the viewer demos that FOX wants he'll continue to stay on the air.

7. I don't believe it.

Bunk! :thumbsdown:

9. I don't know why anyone would be surprised by this. He's promoted endlessly...

here at DU. I really think there should be a Glenn Beck forum. His clips are immediately posted by progressive bloggers, and every progressive talk show hosts picks them up and talks about him for three hours. He couldn't pay for the kind of publicity he gets from liberals.

If people would quit promoting & reacting to this asshole, we could probably organize ourselves for the progressive fights ahead.

10. +1. We should have a "Beck and Rush Who?" policy. n/t

11. It's depressing

at least ten people in my office watch this show and talk about it the next day. I really think the country is going mad.

I have never seen it except yesterday I watched some youtubes of it. Scary stuff.

[Jo March]

13. Welcome to DU, kelli!

Come here when you want some sanity. Stroll over the the DU Lounge when you need some comedy relief. :hi:

[kelli]

15. Thank ya!

12. And in spite of that, advertisers are still fleeing

No self-respecting brand wants to be associated with crazy stupid.
