This post is going to be very short but to the point
It has come to my attention that WalMart has decided to pull their advertising from the "Glenn Beck" program on Fox News. The reasons they sight are that "Glenn Beck called the president a racist". But I watch the show religiously and have never heard Glenn say anything of the sort. He did mention that he thought that Obama was using the stimulus and healthcare bills as a form of "reparations" but that is about as close as I could find him calling Obama a racist.
I think the REAL reason for them (and also GM) to pull their advertising is that they are both bowing to pressure from Obama to shut down the Glenn Beck program and to silence the oppositions voice on health-care (or should I say Health Insurance?) reform. WalMart has gotten into bed with Obama and has made a sweetheart deal with them if the bill is passed. But now that looks unlikely and Obama is telling companies like WalMart, that if they want this to go through they better drop advertising through channels like Beck. Let's face it! Why else would companies like WalMart drop advertising on one of THE HOTTEST SHOWS ON TV???
My answer to WalMart is this. Prepare to be boycotted yourself! I am doing all my shopping at KMart and Target and writing WalMart to let them know as well. We cannot let this administration BULLY its way in our country.
Send this out to your friends and family.
