Color of Change's phony attacks on Glenn Beck aren't working. Arguing that no one could look at Obama's 20 plus year association with so called Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his recent denouncement of the Boston police in the wake of Prof. Gates arrest, his wife Michelle's statements during the campaign about her pride or lack thereof in this country and the racial attacks against Bill and Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democrat primary by his supporters and not think that Obama uses race to political advantage the way that racists like George Wallace and Lester Maddox did is what is remarkable. On the other hand there is near total silence when people on the left charge others with racism or bigotry.
More likely however Color of Change's boycott is just a pretext for shutting down one of the most vibrant and passionate resources that the American people can rely on in keeping a check on government -- Glenn Beck. But so far even with lots of fanfare and no doubt DNC/WhiteHouse sponsored support, like Air America another failed media effort this boycott is destined to fail.
Beck's show is popular and is contributing to record breaking ratings for Fox News and notably even though Color of Change claims to have more than 600,000 members, they've gotten fewer than 10% to sign on to their petition.
But even 60,000 signers is too many -- we're countering that with a petition drive of our own to be sent directly to executives at Fox to let them know just how valuable Glenn's show is. Keep checking back here and we'll have the petition set up!
And remember, FightforGlennBeck!
