Best Buy Among Others To Drop Beck

Again, Color Of Change has encouraged major retailers to drop ads from Glenn Becks programming after he declared Obama a “racist”.

From Huffington Post:

• Allergan (maker of Restasis): “We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we’ve put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our “do not air” list. This means that you will no longer see any Restasis ads during programming featuring Glenn Beck. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.”
• Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services): “Ally advertises on a broad spectrum of programs to reach our potential customers. Our advertising is not an endorsement of editorial content on any program. We have ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck program.”
• Best Buy
• Broadview Security: “Given the considerations, we have requested of Fox News not to include us in the rotation that would have our commercials running on Glenn Beck’s show.”
• CVS: “While advertising on Fox is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck’s show specifically. We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck’s program is not part of our advertising plan.”
• Re-Bath: “…We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show…”
• Travelocity: “We did not specifically place our ad on the show. We buy ads in bulk and then they are placed somewhat randomly. However, we have now specifically asked that our ads do not appear during this show.”
• Wal-Mart: “Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,”

This Is Not What The 2nd Ammendment Is About

While I will never understand the need to own or carry a firearm, I do believe in the right to own one. However, there needs to be a limit as to where one can be carried. For example, you do not carry a semi-automatic assault rifle to a Presidential town hall meeting. Obama has made no threat to eradicate guns; and even if he did, there would be no chance that the law would ever make it through congress. Not going to happen.

So to all you wingnuts out there carrying loaded guns to political rallies, KNOCK IT OFF! You are not helping your cause. There is no place for loaded weapons near our President. Had someone shown up at a Bush town hall meeting, would the NRA be backing that persons right? I doubt it.
