Glenn Beck At It Again....
Posted November 16th, 2007 by marvieman

Once again, if you go to Beck's site, he has another poll up. This one reads, "Who will win the Republican nomination?". Of course he did not even include Ron Paul's name as a choice. This is absolutely frustrating. We need to turn up the heat on Mr. Beck's sponsors. HE HAS TO GO!

In the end, he will just look like a fool...
so let him stretch the rope a little tighter.
wasn't there
i went to his site and didn't see any poll up
forget Beck
He's toadpuke.
How do you deal with toadpuke? Ignore it. (don't step in it it tracks into the house and makes everyone wretch)

South Park has oh-so-many answers to life...
Remember the South Park episode where Al Qaeda comes up with their cartoon in response to the Family guy illustrating Muhammad?
Let's just do the same thing.
Just call Glenn Beck supporters pedophiles. We can have a panel, one with a guy whose parents are communists, and the other a British citizen talk about American politics -and then they can say, "Yes, you're right. Glenn Beck supporters are pedophiles. Our credentials are completely irrelevant to the topic, but By God! I know a pedophile when I see 'em, and Glenn Becks obsession with terrorist attacks against a school bus verge on sexual mania against children. I think some of Beck's supporters are taking the phrase 'how I got there' way too serious."
Then we say, "Oh Glenn! We burned you. You're totally pwned. Now go back to having suck ass ratings and stop trying to get Paul supporters to boost your ratings through a sense of outrage."
...and all will be well in the universe.
Tancredo said he was retiring to spend time with his grandkids
It's not right he still is running he said he's not running For reelection because he wants to spend time with grand children He already took campaign finace matching money which I personally find disgraceful when he has no chance at all .By takeing campaign finance you can't raise enogh money to run a real campaign
Beck is a troll
I think this proves that Beck is just a troll. He's intentionally trying to upset supporters of Paul.
Your playing right in to his hands
Come on guys dont visit his website. We have a lot of power to generate ratings here at DP Visiting Glenn Becks website only plays right into his hands. Be smart. He is doing this on purpose.
reponse from liberty mutual!
Dear Mr. Kersey,
Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you feel about the programming in which our television advertising appears.
Although our ad appeared during "The Glenn Beck Show," the opinions expressed on the show are those of the host. When selecting this program for our advertising, we considered its audience -- intelligent viewers who are interested in issues facing our country and the world and who take seriously their civic responsibility to vote. These types of viewers are people with whom we would like to do business.
We take your feedback seriously and will certainly share your concerns with our media representative at CNN.
Sincerely,
John Natale

Don't get me started on Liberty Mutual
They LOVE throwing money around. A few years back I was rear-ended by one of their drivers. My car suffered relatively little damage, and they wanted to total it.
I liked my car, and told them I was willing to settle for less than their damage estimate so that I could keep it.
Weeks went by. All the while my car was completely roadworthy (we reattached the bumper) and I kept on driving it. While I would've needed a new bumper to get the car to pre-accident condition, it wouldn't have cost much. They were worried about "hidden damage" which my mechanic friends assured me wasn't an issue.
How did Liberty Mutual respond? They saw that the claim wasn't settled and panicked. Instead of "caving" to my "demand" (which was for LESS than they were offering, but I keep my car), they started INCREASING their offer.
They wound up paying me almost $1,000 more than I was asking, and over $500 more than the repair estimate.
If I had a policy with them at the time, I would've canceled soon after. Who wants an insurance company that throws money around like that for no reason?
I guess that's their philosophy when it comes to sponsoring Glenn Beck.
Liberty Mutual thinks Ron Paul supporters are terrorists?
"intelligent viewers who are interested in issues facing our country and the world and who take seriously their civic responsibility to vote. These types of viewers are people with whom we would like to do business."
The type of people who watch Glenn Beck are the type of people who like the opinions of "those of the host." Just like other people watch Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, Keith Oberman, etc.
This would seem to say it wants people who agree with Glenn Beck as their customers, meaning they want people who think Ron Paul supporters are terrorists.
Birds of a feather...
I guess the question would be "Does Liberty Mutual think Ron Paul supporters are terrorists?"
Silly.
As the subject line says. This is a silly line of logic, and a twist on what they're obviously saying. They are saying people interested in current events are their target audience, and they neither support nor detract from Glenn Beck's views. They don't care, they just want to get their message to people watching the show. Obviously, Ron Paul supporters are watching/listening to Glenn Beck's show, so you could even say Ron Paul supporters are their target audience, even though we think Beck is incorrect in his statements about us.
Twisting words is a game that the MSM plays, we don't need to participate. If you're going to boycott, by all means please do, and please let them know, but don't twist their words and accuse them of such straw man arguments. It detracts from the point. We're logically people who have decided this plan is the best and have made a request. Not illogical people who hate all the companies who advertise on Beck's hour.

Go Tancredo!
I went to Beck's webpage and voted for Tancredo. Actually, I like Tancredo a lot. Were Dr. Paul not in the race, he'd be my guy.
Unfortunately, Romney seems to be winning this one. Hmm - Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney... I think they might have a few things in common. Could this poll have some home cooking?
But it's fun
It's 9pm and Tancredo is tied with Giuliani.
ignore him
We are big enough now that we don't need Glen Beck's approval about anything so just let him make an ass out himself and stop playing his game, just ignore the guy already!!!
Glenn who?
Glenn who?
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry for making this thread and getting people upset. It just infuriates me to see this kind of thing go on with the MSM, especially when it's done intentionally such as in this case.

I wish everyone of these posts was a letter to an iowa voter

I've hand written 28 letters so far to potential voters in Iowa...

I think responding to Beck just helps him. Ignore, Ignore, Ignore.

Here is the address: vote for Tancredo on this one

Sent my negative comment
Not that it will help but I sent a negative review to Glenn Beck as follows:
I demand an apology from Glenn Beck for his insensitive commentary about Ron Paul and his supporters or I will boycott every company that advertises his program. Your comments will not change my vote or who I am as a person.
Who cares. Let Glenn say
Who cares. Let Glenn say what he wants. You don't have to watch. You people are so hypocritical. I'm sick of hearing about this poll exclusion stuff.
stop paying glenn beck's bills
just forget about this faker. It's not surprising in the least. Just promote Dr. Paul, give money, do those things that have made the campaign a success thus far.
Agreed
Agreed
OUR FOCUS SHOULD BE DEC 16TH... WE ARE FALTERING..
We are wasting time on Glenn Beck... its WASTED TIME guys/gals - our main objective is to make another statement Dec 16th and we are slowing down on our goal... pledges have died down.... we cant do it with only 50 or 100 pledging a day....
please renew your efforts IN THIS REGARD...
THANKS,

The Correct Way to Respond to Glenn Beck
CNN has given good coverage to Ron Paul. They are not the problem.
It's only Glenn Beck who's a problem. But we are far beyond fake polls that will not be noticed or remembered.
So, remember, you have only so much time and energy.
Focus on what makes the biggest difference - finding more voters for the primaries. And more money for Ron Paul to find more voters for the primaries.
Remember, "The hunter in pursuit of an elephant does not stop to throw stones at birds." (African proverb)
We could take advice from the famous basketball coach Bobby Knight: He did not care ANYTHING for what any other team was doing. He focused only making HIS game the best.
"Health, Wealth & Happiness" - http://www.relfe.com
So...
in pursuit of elephants, throw chairs across the court?
Please don't give Beck anymore hits...
ignore, ignore, ignore...
For god sakes...
This is ridiculous. Some of you are beginning to annoy me, and I'm a long-time supporter. This is just another dumb-ass online poll that was put up to make you react. That's it. They can drive traffic to their site and use those numbers to SELL space to their advertisers. You're falling for it. STOP IT!
We've moved passed that. We have voter awareness and convention delegates to worry about now. Get information out. Create videos, purchase ads, rally... This internet poll crap is getting old, and it isn't doing our effort any favors. Honestly, its a random poll on Glen Beck's website. WHO CARES!!!
Agree - spend time on Dec 16th recruitment
Thanks - I agree all this is STUPID STUPID STUPID... what is more important is getting OUR message out there particularly on Dec 16th... you folks are being non-productive here in regards to Dr. Paul... is this *all* you have to do with your time... then its misspent.... email legalize marijuana organizations - there are a ton of them about Dec 16th they would make good Ron Paul supporters and I doubt anyone has touched base with them.....
Yeah
This poll is crap. Don't worry about it. His statements about terrorism WERE a big deal, but this is nothing. Ignore this man. DON'T boost his ratings.
Ron Paul and the Stephanie Miller show
Glenn Beck is not the only MSM attacking our movement. Please
read the following email I sent to the Stephanie Miller program
today for details. Stephanie is generally supportive of Ron Paul,
so I'm not advocating a boycott at this time.
Sent to: rebekah@stephaniemiller.com, the email address for
commenting on show issues
Dear Rebekah:
This morning was the second time I heard Ron Paul called a
"racist and a misogynist" on the Stephanie Miller program. Jim
or Chris explained the "racist" remark based on a newsletter that
Ron Paul put out many years ago. From what I have seen and
read of Ron Paul, I find the characterization of him as a racist
dubious, due to his unwavering support of individual liberties for
all granted by the constitution. To me, this smells like a "swift-
boating" of Ron Paul. Can't we wait until he at least wins the
Republican nomination first, before all the negative attacks start?
Jim (or Chris, sorry, I have trouble telling them apart, even
after many years listening to this program) did not explain why
he thought Ron Paul is a misogynist. Calling an OB/GYN a
misogynist would seem to belittle the accuser, not the accused.
I can only assume that this is a reference to Ron Paul's pro-life
position. This is not a position based on hatred of women, for
half of the aborted babies are female. The argument is really
based on differing views on when life begins. I would be more
inclined to believe Ron Paul, an OB/GYN, than I would a producer
of a radio program (or a voice impersonator,) no disrespect intended.
Finally, Jim (or Chris,) thought that Ron Paul's belief that the
Federal Reserve should be eliminated was wacky. Where did
Jim (or Chris) get his degree in economics? Ron Paul does not
have a degree in economics to my knowledge; however, he did
study the issue extensively (and has published books on the subject)
and was motivated to get into politics based on what he learned
about our current system - what a contrast to our current President.
You should be aware that there is a large campaign to boycott
the Glenn Beck program because he labelled Ron Paul supporters,
"terrorists." I thoroughly enjoy Stephanie's program and would
hate to see any harm come to her ratings as a result of the
misinformed statements of her producer (or voice guy.)
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephen Thomas III
Response from SM show
This is the response I got from the Stephanie Miller show from the email I sent them (see previous post.) It looks like a form letter response, but he has been on the show and it does play to an anti-war audience open to Ron. Let's not forget that the country is basically 1/3 Rs, 1/3 Ds and 1/3 independents. We need all the support we can get. If Hillary has the D nomination sowed up, we can get anti-war voters voting in the R primaries for Ron Paul and surprise them all.
Dr. Thomas-III,
We appreciate your feedback regarding Rep. Ron Paul.
Congressman Paul may be a guest again in the near future.
Check back in!

Whats Funny
If you go to Steph's myspace page she currently has a poll on there on who should be the next president. Ron Paul is winning with 21 percent last time I checked.
Vote Tancredo for the poll,
Vote Tancredo for the poll, since RP is missing. Don't give any more traffic than you have to.
-------------------------------------------
Asians like Ron Paul too, I'm proof.
Freedom is popular to EVERYONE.
Ditto
Just did as I always have...welcome to the secret underground movement to get Tancredo elected and drive people to Becks site so they can learn the truth..... LOL
Don't worry about airborne, he just needs a little oxygen in his brain to wake up. It's one thing to not agree with everyone, it's another thing to start slinging words and accusations because of an action that we have done many times in the past and will probably keep doing.
I'll vote for Hunter if he's on there so Airborne won't "figure out our secret squirrel plan"...LMAO!!
Where is the poll? I looked
Where is the poll? I looked on Beck's CNN page and didn't see it. Do you have a URL?
bxiao - Why are you promoting Glen Beck?
Why are you promoting Glen Beck? Or perhaps you are a Tancredo operative?
Grow up
My God someone does something you don't agree with and you call them operatives? Maybe you don't want to give beck any hits but my goodness does it have to come to this.
In the past we didn't have ANY media, and when they "Forgot" Ron Paul we would go and vote for either Hunter or Tancredo...so get over it. Some of us still do it and we're not operatives, but it is satisfying for them to know that yes we are still here and we can change any stat we like due to Ron Pauls supporters being active.
If you don't like it..fine...don't do it..but calling names and getting offended because 100% of people don't see things the way you do is pretty nutz if you ask me. Get over yourself.
Or maybe you just hate Asians? That's as good an argument as being a "beck supporter" isn't it. Think about it.
Actually, I think it's an
Actually, I think it's an interesting idea for the Paulites to vote for Tancredo in this particular poll. If Beck is purposely trying to frustrate us by making us invisible, voting en masse for the lowest polling candidate delivers an unexpected blow against our tormentor.
I say do it - let's all vote for Tancredo in this particular poll.
Avoid Glen Beck and His Site !
Glen Beck is a bought and paid for propagandist; he would do the editors at Pravda proud.
Why would any Ron Paul supporter help Glen Beck? When you go to this cowards, Glen Becks site you give him money. Why? Frankly I am thinking these Glen Beck "promoters" on this site are not supportive of the Ron Paul rEVOLution.
If you really want to support Ron Paul for President please watch video and duplicate.

Who cares?
I guess Glenn Beck can say what ever he wants, and attacking him viciously will only give him more ammo. Ron Paul wants to lead other nations by being a good example, and that's what we should do. Be respectful, and responsible. Earn Glen Beck's respect. Don't waste anymore time on him, and just focus on getting the word out about Ron Paul!
gimme a break
come people.. we need Tancredo winning pronto...Giddy up!
I thought the plan was...
....to all vote Tancredo?
glen beck is a douche
i voted for tancredo...
glen beck should go back to what he does best: being an alcoholic.
be sure to call all of his sponsors and be all super-pissed off. I would love to see him lose his job on account of this. He has every right to express his opinion, but its pretty unprofessional to call people terrorists for supporting a paticular candidate. Not to mention all his talk about Iran being as bad as hitlers Germany. His rhetoric helps garner support for a war that would make Iraq look like a cakewalk, and would lead to the death of many Americans as well as innocent Iranian men, women, and children. While people were busy fighting in Vietnam, Glenny boy was at home drinking his sorrows away.
BTW, does anyone get annoyed with Beck's tone....i dont know how to describe it, pseudosarcasm? Even before I knew he was a douche I could tell right away that he was fake as hell.
Glen Beck is playing Ron Paul supporters
He knows RP folks will react to anything. In part, we are reacting in a way that helps his ratings. We just have to react in a way he doesn't like.
Contact his sponsors.
Ron Paul is the great uniter, the income tax fighter...the military-supported, defender of the border...the political apathy solution and the champion of the Constitution! Doctor Paul is on-call!
I like your poem!
Well said, my brother! Did you author that?
also, he's going to be out
also, he's going to be out on the road, I think it's time to show him what us terrorists look like...

spam it
put in duncan hunter since he's the least likely to win.
