Thread Name: BS: Glenn Beck - Obama's a racist
Subject: RE: BS: Glenn Beck - Obama's a racist
This Associated Press article (click) says that advertisers are responding to the boycott, and are dropping their sponsorship of Beck's show. My 94-yr-old mother-in-law, a Beck fan, says this is a violation of Beck's freedom of speech.

I told her that Beck is free to say what he wants - but the corporations don't have to pay him to say it. Of course, I was pretty upset when the corporations dropped their sponsorship of the Smothers Brothers.
