The White House's War on Critics

Several advertisers have been intimidated into dropping their sponsorship of the Glen Beck program. And it won't stop with him, especially if the obama administration and its supporters succeed. We must do everything in our power to see to it that Beck stays on the air. Critics of obama are being put on notice that they had better keep quiet or else. There should be no doubt that the democratic party has become a gang of stalinists.

NEW YORK – Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel on Monday after a vacation with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.

A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck's show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That's more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.

While it's unclear what effect, if any, this will ultimately have on Fox and Beck, it is already making advertisers skittish about hawking their wares within the most opinionated cable TV shows.
