Dear friends,
As you may know, right-wing talk show hosts have been bringing
race-based fear mongering into the mainstream, but FOX's Glenn Beck
just took it to another level. On Tuesday, Beck said:
"This president has exposed himself as a guy over and
over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for
white people... this guy is, I believe, a racist."
It's part of a larger argument Beck has been making: that President
Obama wants to serve the needs of Black communities at White people's
expense. This kind of talk stirs up fear, hate, and it can lead to
violence.
I've joined ColorOfChange.org's effort to stop Glenn Beck.
ColorOfChange is already putting calls into Beck's advertisers, asking
them if they want to be associated with this kind of racist hate and
fear-mongering. When the advertisers see that tens of thousands of us
are behind that question, I believe they'll move their advertising
dollars elsewhere, and his show and platform will be history.
Will you take a stand and be counted, and invite your friends and
family to do the same? It takes just a moment:

Glenn Beck is appealing to the worst in America. Of course, some
Americans refuse to accept the fact that our president is Black or the
idea that he could truly serve all Americans. But the only way these
views fade away is if they're not reinforced by mainstream society.
Instead, folks like Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, and Rush Limbaugh are
exploiting racism and race-based fear to bump their ratings, stirring
up racial discord in the process.
The dangers of these tactics are real. We saw the same dynamic during
the presidential race: By the end, the McCain/Palin campaign was
unable to control the violent energy whipped up by their race-baiting.
It resulted in an unprecedented number of threats on Obama's life, a
rise in the number of hate groups, and an increase in the number of
threats and crimes against immigrants and Black people.
FOX has a horrible track record on pushing racist propaganda, but
Glenn Beck appears to be taking the network to an even lower standard.
He's trying to divide and distract America when we should be coming
together and talking about issues that really matter--like health care
and the economy.
The good news is that we have the power to stop this. All major media
is funded by advertising. And advertisers care more than anything
what consumers think. If we want to change what's happening and put an
end to folks like Glenn Beck having a platform, we can do it.
It's up to us, and it can start now. Please join me:

Thanks.
