TV producer Norman Lear has launched an attack on conservative talker Glenn Beck (194 hits)

I support President Obama, and the health care plan he is trying to impose for all American's. The people who had a voice in this election put a great man and his family in the Whitehouse. The same Whitehouse that was made by the blood, sweat and tears of our forefathers. I'm appealing to the women of this forum to take action against' the Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaughs" and many others who like to use the free speech clause in the bill of right to bring havoc to our national capital. (Tea-bagger's)

These Tea-baggers who prefer to leave home without their white sheets with mis-information and call it democracy, are the one's bringing shame to this country. I'm fed up and so is Color of Change, please visit their website and stay informed. I have posted a email from Norman Lear please read and pass it on! Glenn Beck has admitted on the View his information is not factual he is just a commentator using spew tactic and lies about our leader!

. Norman Lear Group Targets Glenn Beck

A liberal advocacy group founded by TV producer Norman Lear has launched an attack on conservative talker Glenn Beck, saying his influence on the GOP is "shameful."

In an e-mail sent to supporters, People for the American Way's President Michael B. Keegan referred to last weekend's protests in Washington against President Barack Obama and the Democrats and rebutted the claim that as many as 2 million people took part.

"Officials estimated the crowd to be about 60,000," Keating wrote. "Significant, yes, but not indicative that these people are anything more than a vocal minority representing the views of only a small portion of Americans.

"A PFAW staffer who showed up to check out the scene talked to many participants, and when she asked why they showed up, an overwhelming number gave the same answer: 'Glenn Beck sent me.'"

Keating continued: "It is shameful that the GOP would give someone like Glenn Beck that sort of power. The Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks of the world have been pulling the strings of the Republican Party for too long."

The e-mail cited an upcoming conference called How to Take Back America, claiming it will be hosted by "some of the most fringe players on the Radical Right," and asked for donations to help the group "fight back."

Meanwhile Fox News is disputing a claim by an African-American advocacy group that its call for a boycott of advertisers on Beck's Fox TV show has had a significant impact on its ad revenue.

Color of Change sought the boycott more than a month ago after Beck accused Obama of being a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

In a press release, Color of Change cited data from unnamed "industry sources" and asserted that the ad boycott "costs Glenn Beck over 50 percent of ad dollars."

The group claimed that 62 advertisers have "distanced themselves" from Beck, and the boycott is costing Fox nearly $600,000 per week.

A Fox News spokesman told TVNewser: "The Color of Change figures are wildly inaccurate on all fronts — revenue has not been affected in any way." Posted By: Beverly Brewer
