Encore performance of the video (was posted on a previous Frugal Café blog post) that has prompted such uproar in the White House about Beck… you decide. And if you decide this race-baiting, unconstitutional attack on Glenn Beck is wrong, call your senator, contact FOX, contact the sponsors who were bullied, contact the White House. Don’t be silent. Silence is acceptance.

Information about Glenn Beck being silenced by the government, excerpt from Human Events: Hollywood Hit on Glenn Beck
…Claiming that Beck is race baiting “Color of Change” has bullied at least five of Beck’s big advertisers — SC Johnson, Progressive Insurance, GEICO, Procter & Gamble and Lexis Nexis — to pull their ads from Beck’s national cable program. The activist group has hired Hollywood’s high profile publicist Ken Sunshine to further instigate the boycott.
Sunshine’s superstar clientele is huge (and very very liberal). The list includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Barbra Streisand, Michael Moore, John Mayer, Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, and recently the Jackson family just to name a few…
The August political dynamic has been almost entirely negative for the Democrats, with the town hall protests against Obamacare seeming to grow more forceful each day. Obama’s polls have slipped below 50% and — contrary to claims only a week old — unemployment is back on the rise.
The Obama administration and Congressional Democrats are desperate to get Obamacare off the front pages for a few days. The orchestrated campaign against Beck — which is just now getting off the ground — could be their key.
Will the Hollywood left — always eager to help Obama — choose this time to mount an even larger attack campaign against Beck and FOX News lead by Sunshine and his A-list clientele?

Bye bye Rush, Glenn, Sean, Mark.
Next will be the internet.
Bye bye Michelle, Vicki, and any other Americans willing to voice their opinion.
The American People will not stand for this.
They shoved the stimulus bill past us, now they are trying to pass a structure buried within a health care bill that no-one in congress understands, or has even read.
Obama has a big jet and an agenda. Our money is buying his fuel to go out to the western states to promote his health (stealth) care plan.
Obama is desperate to ram his policies down our throats because they know they have limited time to push these policies past our Constitution, and dumb down the voters,
Read Culture of Corruption.
2010…..we vote again.
The statists are on the march, but I have faith in the American people, AFVET. I believe they are waking up and rising against this administration… all races, all political affiliations are taking note of what is happening to minimalize and marginalize the individual and the inherent rights stated in our Constitution.
I will not be silenced… none of us should. America and her unique freedoms are too precious to lose.
Our founding fathers are freaking out in heaven about now.
Love your BACKBONE VICKI !!
Acorn and the SEIU are Obama’s thugs.
If there are anymore physical attacks against people that voice their opinion, there should be legal ramifications.
Oh wait,….Chicago Thugs, Al Capone, nothing to see here folks, look over here.
David Copperfield never had 44 “and counting” czars.
God Bless You, and thanks for the site.

Obama is “going for it.” We all know and feel it. He wants to fundamentally change America to some perverted, idealistic paradise that will never exist, but has been promised by every dictator and socialist thug in history. To all those out there that read these blogs to “gameroom” your reactions in an effort to control the masses, I will tell you that we’re not playing and you might want to re-adjust your efforts in this. Freedom to be yourself, freedom to choose, freedom of enterprise, freedom to speak, freedom to do anything, once tasted by “the masses” will not be surrendered. From what I have seen, the Administration’s actions and reactions to the country’s citizens and their complaints, I can ask this simple question: You have no idea, do you? You stupid bastards! I can speak from experience on only one subject; cops.
Do you have any idea how many cops are out there that despise what you’re doing, would never submit to government control, and are courageous enough to oppose any type of government take-over of our lives? Anybody out there that thinks cops are pawns is sadly mistaken. We are courageous men and women who are sworn to protect our constitutional rights and freedoms and will always do the right thing regardless of our race, ethnicity, or gender. You might find a few morons that will be willing soldiers but I guarantee you’ll be disappointed if push comes to shove. By the way, FBI, DEA, ATF, and all the other federal agencies are cops first. They’re the best and the brightest in many instances and will do what is right, I know so because I work with them every day and talk to them. They’ll follow orders, like we all do up to a point. I’m sorry to break the bad news to those of you who wished for a socialist government and a utopia for the elites but it will never happen. Did you expect that you could train us to run towards a fight, protect everyone’s rights, head towards a threat or a problem when others run away and not have to deal with us when the fabric of our entire country might be in danger?
We are going to be your biggest nightmare if you dare try to bypass the constitution and take away the rights of those we have protected for so many years. You got a small taste in the Cambridge situation. You better re-adjust your thinking on the matter. If you want an example just look at what the New York cops did during 9/11 and see if they didn’t do what was right, what was expected, and in many instances what led to their demise. We’re all like that. Anybody that would question whether or not intelligent police officers and law enforcement officials take offense to anyone’s rights being compromised need not worry. We’ve got your back whether you’ve ever noticed or realized it before. We won’t stand idly by while your rights are taken from you.
Excellent commentary, Dave. Thank you for your heartfelt input.

There is a petition for Glenn Beck supporters to sign at http://www.National912Petitions.com.
It is a letter to Fox News and all of the past and present Glenn Beck advertisers requesting that they continue to support him or risk our boycott.
Please sign it now and pass the word to any other groups or conservative advocates you may be in contact with.
Thank you.
Thanks for the link, Janice… it’s important that we support freedom of speech for ALL.
Believe me, I despise Howard Stern and Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher, but if Obama was doing this to them, I’d support them (while holding my nose… LOL)
Freedom of speech… whether it is for or against our government, is a provision in our Constitution for a good reason. Our founding fathers wanted to create a nation that was unlike any other, one that supported liberty and despised tyranny. Grassroots boycott is one thing… strong-arming advertisers using taxpayers’ dollars and being backed by the White House is a whole ‘nuther thing entirely.
Forget that wishful thinking fantasy notion of stopping these power mad EVIL monsters for it would take much more than you naive people think???
Lloyd Carson a little-known \politically incorrect\ shortwave broadcast host thought that way too, until one night while he was finishing a politically motivated broadcast aimed against the Obama administration, he was viciously arrested in front of his family and taken to the county jail in handcuffs.
This American citizen was deliberately incarcerated with the worst felons. Carson a small stature of a man was raped repeatedly that night by a gang of black & white inmates who also seriously beat him nearly to death while the sheriff as well as his deputy obviously ignored his frantic screams for help. Garson suffered a broken jaw three fractured ribs and a badly fractured spine too. he had multiple bruises and cuts over 60% of his entire body too. after spending a week in the hospital all charges were strangely dropped. Carson was discharged from this hospital in a wheelchair. he received rehab as a paraplegic do to his numerous injury s
Garson once a very good friend of mine sent appeal after appeal some politically motivated action groups for his false imprisonment and the beating and received no replies from any of these so-called civil libertarian groups. So go ahead and talk your big talk, try to expose all the lawless corruption and see what happens. put yourself in Carson s shoes. Just a small man no different than you or me who had absolutely no civil protection that night. NO, he was treated just like an animal placed in a steel cage for unsafe keeping.
due to the inhuman trauma of that night Carson committed suicide several months later no doubt too the delight of this current administration. and all I can say is this, you’ll think quite differently my friend when you’re falsely arrested and placed in a cage with a bunch of human looking animals. then this hogwash about having rights will mysteriously disappear along with your constitutional rights, citizenship and? as your repeatedly raped and viciously beating nearly to death while the authorities look the norther way towards that flesh and blood God of a black? President.
Chairman Obama
Thank you for your input, but with all due respect, you’re wrong.
“Naive,” you say? Or patriotic? This is driving you crazy, isn’t it, “Professor”? You seem to want to be perceived as a conservative, but your comment’s content speaks loudly from the Left. And a scare-mongering Left as well.
Leftwingers would LOVE for conservatives to just lay down and accept socialism and have their freedoms ripped away with barely a whimper. Many people who have stood by their convictions were demeaned and hurt for it – just look at our nation’s beginnings. I love my country enough to not be afraid to speak out for what is right. Obviously, you don’t feel that way about America. And you’re entitled to… freedom is just that.
But I refuse to drink the Obama Kool-aid you’re trying to force on me, nor will other patriotic conservatives. Your cowardly solution is NOT a solution, but a band-aid on a severed leg. If freedom and love of country is not worth fighting for or dying for, what is? Our nation would have been under the bloodthirsty rule of tyrants and dictators centuries ago, and we their docile slaves, if brave men and women who fought for America had followed your sheep-like lead. Our military is the best in the world… if we didn’t have these courageous people defending us, it would be up to you and me and other private citizens to do the dirty work. And I can see, Professor, that you’d be one of those sniveling people hiding in a dark, damp cave, afraid to speak out for America, but wondering what in the heck happened to our country.
It bothers me when so called conservatives want us to just take it all and not make a fuss. This is like expecting a SuperBowl team not trying their hardest to win the big game. I thank you admin for standing up for Americas greatness and our contstitution. I am afraid for waht is happening to our country, but I am not afraid to defend my country. big difference.
Oh I see I’m wrong as usual and a coward too boot ah by trying to convey the honest truth about an incredibly corrupt system of government that will stop at nothing for total power. As a professor/scientist schooled in genetic engineering I know a little something you people obviously don’t know about our glorious government. In 1979 I was a willing part of an secret Frankenstein like secret experiment code named “transfer” The theory was sound and the method crude but quite effective. this was an early form of chemically induced mind control and it had worked quite well.
we developed a organic soup (if you will) that once ejected in the brain-stem would alter the test subjects ability to reason. Yes they would say or do anything that was program into the mind altering mixture.
I saw the evil implications associated with this wicked research and resigned from the project under a threat of death. therefore I’m no stranger to the danger that scientist’s like myself must endure to remain a viable asset to the free loving people. as I said before there’s nothing this government (not of the people) would do gain total supremacy over the entire planet. I know for a fact that nuking a city in the mists of a catastrophic riot is still an open option they would without hesitation order.
I’m not a coward I do learn my lessons well, and I’m telling you all right now the God’s honest truth . you can’t win unless the people (nonproductive sheep) become one spirit of protests and defiance. If this does not materialize our beloved country is going to fall, and fall hard.
Thank you for your clarification. In your earlier post, it came across that you felt that there is no “winning” and only rape, attack, and/or death can be expected, so don’t even bother trying to push back on this administration’s power-grabbing agenda. And yes, I concurred with you that violence could indeed be the reaction/result by “them”, as demonstrated throughout our nation’s history. The civil rights movement had many casualties. Women’s right to vote did as well. Our courageous military faces death daily in the pursuit of preserving and securing freedoms and security. Our nation’s earliest rebellion against the British Empire killed many men and women who fought for our right to independence and freedom. I agree with you that fighting back can often mean tremendous sacrifice.
But to suggest that Americans not take a stance because of the potential for personal harm or loss is where I can’t agree. You are entitled to your opinion, and based on your unique background in the scientific community, I now understand better why you feel the way you do. I could very likely feel the same way had I experienced what you had. No telling on that one. I retract my previous “coward” statement and acknowledge that I didn’t fully understand your original intent. You’ve made it more clear that you were commenting from a cautionary position.
Thanks for the unique perspective and input.
I absolutely agree too for the sake of our nation and all the freedom loving American citizens that must make a stand now for the many freedoms that we still enjoy today. obviously the fairness doctrine is a revised version of a symbolic Titanically inspired disaster. we all know it’s sole purpose? For silencing those who oppose all the controllable aspects of an evil totalitarian government entity in Washington. I am personally 100% opposed to this authoritarian regime that is without a doubt completely out of control now.
I’ve signed a few petitions and offered some financial support too over the years to a great number of champions for freedom. one on behalf of Michael Savage for being banned from entering England. Too put a great man like that on a terrorist watch list is the ultimate insult to our God-given intelligence. Its quite apparent that the current administration hates Michael Savage and would do anything short of “assassination” to silence him or anybody else who thinks for themselves and is not lead like an animal fit for a quick slaughter.
case and point! Those unorganized tea parties a few months back many that fell on deaf ears in that cesspool of criminally orchestrated corruption “Washington DC” Some friends and colleagues of mine protested loudly the other day on some proposal (The immediate legalization of those undocumented immigrant workers) because we saw it as an attack against the illegal hard-working American taxpaying citizens of this great country. as no surprise we voted against it. you know as well as I do that we have spread ourselves dangerously thin fighting two very difficult battles on two separate Islamic fronts. Now obviously there’s a great of money to be made in relation to any military action. However I do support the troops with letters of gratitude and a bulletproof vest on occasion.
Of course I detest this current administration and the last, view these two as enemies of the state and little more. There’s a monumental protest coming up in Washington in a few days unfortunately I cannot attend this one. however I will be there in spirit blogging politically expedient paragraphs on my many government affiliated contact sites. I will always be a champion for freedom as long as I have some life in my body. I will fight the good fight focusing on the current administration. In retrospect battling them tooth and nail on just about every twisted agenda that they had the audacity to submit to the sleeping sheep (submissive American taxpaying suckers) so you see I’ll always put America first and my meager needs second.
Lasher thanks you and all the rest of your fellow law-enforcement officers who put America’s freedoms before their own personal best interests. You are a real American patriot, and Lash thanks you again.
