Who are Glenn Beck's current advertising sponsors?
Glenn Beck's recent characterization of George Soros as a Nazi collaborator while in his early teens (the age of fourteen, to be precise) has my blood boil. Not only does it obscure facts and imply that Soros had a reasonable choice in the matter (the alternative was a good route to death, essentially), it also serves to demonize all Jewish people as traitors to their own people, which also plays into the hands of largely racist and anti-Semitic Tea Party types. So I'd really enjoy never again using any products who support Beck with advertising money, and I'd like to know who they are so I can write them and boycott them.
Once, when I was near starvation in the war in Bosnia and horribly deprived of vitamins, I traded some dry rice for some fruit preserves with a Serb woman. I also shared food with Serb neighbours, too,
when I had some to give. Croats, too. Which means, I suppose, that if I become very rich and famous, I too will be denounced as a sort of "race traitor." Just to let you all know what kind of person you're dealing with here.
Those crimes aside, I still can't commit the sin of watching Beck's show, so anyone who can list the sponsors, thank you in advance.

This post was deleted for the following reason: If you want to drop me a line we can talk about putting this back up without 90% of it being not-part-of-the-question GRAR, but this really isn't okay as is. -- cortex
