Sorry to all my beloved fans for the lag in posting recently. I just got back from NYC where I did a kickass interview for Rolling Stone with Michael Moore, David Gergen and Paul Krugman where we all opined about how Obama is doing. The interview itself was kickass but the resulting story sucked. So, I am busily reconstructing it, and I will have a deconstruction later this week.
For the time being, I shall provide you an ObamaNerd quickie—no mess, done in 3 minutes and leaving you feeling totally satisfied.
Great news! People are now finally beginning to realize that Glenn Beck of FoxNews’ “The Glenn Beck Program” is a total hate-spewing fuckwit.
Glenn Beck. Totally Boycottable.
Here’s the drama recap: Glenn Beck said in a July 28 show of “Fox and Friends” that as a result of his comments on the Gates’ controversy, Barack Obama has a deep-seated hatred of White People (um, newsflash Beck: Obama likes this white person A LOT). He goes on further to call Obama a “racist.” Hey, that tooootally worked for Sonia Sotomayor. Let’s try that with our totally awesome and historic THE President.
Well, some people don’t take too kindly to the combination of hate speech and fuck-wittery. And liberals aren’t ones to just sit around and bitch on blogs all day. Oh no. There’s actually some organization, a notable backlash and a threatened boycott. Remember when boycotts were just for right wingers who hate the Dixie Chicks? No more! Lefties now have boycott game. You go girl.
The result of such lefty efforts? GEICO, Progressive Insurance, Men’s Wearhouse, Sargento and Proctor and Gamble have all started yanking their ad dollars. FYI: GEICO spends about $1 billion a quarter on advertising. Ouchie!
If you care to join the effort to pull advertising dollars from that total moronic fuckwit, Glenn Beck, go here.
Oh, and for all you people rioting at the healthcare town halls. Go get some mental health care. Oh wait, your insurance probably doesn’t cover that.
