Jim Cramer Tells His Audience That Investing In Glenn Beck's Sinking Ship Is A Great Idea
>
If Glenn Beck weren't one of the most negative and divisive forces on the American political scene you could almost feel sorry for him. With the latest batch of 16 advertisers pledging to stop underwriting his hate-filled, anti-American propaganda, there are now 3 dozen former advertisers who have told Fox News that they're fed up with the unbalanced hatred and racism. Among the companies who have joined the boycott of Glenn Beck's dementia are AT&T, Campbell Soup, Clorox, FreeCreditReport.com, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, Farmers Insurance, Lowe's, Sprint, UPS. They all agree with ColorOfChange that Beck's offensive racism is over the line.
Interestingly, Lowe's has gone a bit further, much to their credit. In an e-mail to ColorOfChange, Meliski Cox, a spokesperson for Lowe’s wrote, “While we will continue to advertise on news programming, including FOX News, there are certain programs on the FOX Network that do not meet Lowe's advertising guidelines, including The O’Reilly Factor and Glenn Beck Program." The spokesman for Clorox was also very clear that his company is finished with Beck's repulsive approach:
“Per our advertising standards, we don't advertise in programs that display exploitive sex or violence, treat ethnic, religious, or political groups in a disparaging manner, present facts inaccurately or distort them to blatantly partisan advantage, and treat individuals or groups in a demeaning manner,” said Adam Oberweiser, a spokesperson for Clorox, in a phone message to a ColorOfChange.org member. “We have had limited advertisements on the Glenn Beck Program in the past, however the statements he made during that show would not adhere to our programming standards. Furthermore, we will not be advertising on his program in the future since he did violate our own advertising standards.”
Meanwhile, on Monday Jim Cramer was defending Beck, calling him a nice guy. I'm sure Blondi thought her master was nice too-- until he had his doctor, Werner Haase, test a cyanide capsule on her (and ordered her dog handler to shoot her 5 pups in the bunker). Listen to Mr. Suave calling the vicious racist and violence inciter "a nice guy" and insuring investors that Fox News' parent company is still a great buy because the advertisers will all come back in the end. Following Jim Cramer's investment advice is the surest route to the poor house anyone has ever devised.
UPDATE: Palin Solidifies Her Losers Club Bonds
Quitter Sarah Palin is urging Glenn Beck, who is under pressure by the defection of a rapidly growing list of three dozen advertsiers. to hang in there. She hasn't started tweeting yet but she's been playing aound on Facebook:
"FOX News' Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House.
"Monday night he asked us to invite one friend to watch; tonight I invite all my friends to watch."
Palin is referring to Beck's attack this week on the background of Van Jones, who the Los Angeles Times describes as "a White House environmental advisor and co-founder of an African American political advocacy group that organized an advertising boycott of his program."

I'm not surprised at Cramer's take on Beck. They're very similar in some respects: each is a clown engaged in convincing others he's a pundit. Each uses a privy for his ethics. Both will crawl and launch emotional tantrums to get the viewers they want, because it's cash in their pockets. Cynics of the worst stripe.
"unbalanced hatred and racism"? Has the person who wrote that even seen Glenn Beck's show or listened to his radio program? There's a real disconnect between this statement and reality. Beck is a harsh critic of the left and of big government, but he's neither cynical nor unAmerican. He's a sincere patriot. Read his book Common Sense and Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny to see how far we've strayed from the principals on which the founding fathers based this country and our constitution.
Anon, I've heard bits and pieces of it over time. It's wingnut stuff, pure and simple: bizarre conspiracy theories backed up by nothing, endless errors of fact, accusations that are never proven, and the wilder, the more he likes them--such as that strange one about Obama being a racist, simply because...Beck...said so.
Liberty doesn't require lunatic fringe theories to be taken seriously, and Tyranny often rides in screaming about fear to a receptive audience. It worked for Goebbels, it worked for McCarthy, and it's working for Beck. Do some honest, logical fact checking on Beck, and you'll see this, yourself.
This certainly isn't the first time that Jim Cramer has told his viewers to buy a loser (Glenn Beck), so Cramer and his friends can make a tidy fortune. That is Cramer's whole career. It is even hard to pity the pathetic losers who still tune in to Jim Cramer. They should know better by now.
In all sincerity, I would like to view a copy of the email from Lowe's to ColorOfChange. Is there anywhere that this entire email is made available for public view? A response either way would be much appreciated. Thanks
Jim Cramer was long ago exposed as a fraud and a cheat,b y his own self admissions.Why he is taken seriously by anyone investing serious money is beyond me.He is a loser and so are most of his stocks,to his advantage no doubt.
