Defend Glenn .com gets 850,000 Hits in First Day as Beck Fans Fight Back
ByAccording to a twitter tweet on DefendGlenn.com’s twitter account, DefendGlenn, the website received 850,000 hits in it’s first full day of being active. Adding to those stats are 19,400 emails and 5,200 comments on their wall, which goes to show that there are a large number of really mad Glenn Beck fans striking back at the attacks put forth against the man of Common Sense.
The issue began when the activist group Color of Change began attacking Glenn Beck’s advertisers in protest of many things, including the exposing of who Van Jones is and the history behind the man. For those who don’t already know, Van Jones’ relationship to Color of Change is that he is the groups co-founder. The facts are still being sorted out as there has been some misleading press releases put forth by the activist group. One recent press release issued by them is titled, “Eight More Companies Decide to Pull Ads from Glenn Beck; Twenty Companies Have Now Pulled Advertising“, where they claim in that same press release, “Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security, CVS, Re-Bath, Travelocity and Wal-Mart join the dozen other companies who previously distanced themselves from Beck.” According to information collected in an article, “Color of Lies: Best Buy Denies Pulling Ads Off Beck“, apparently Color of Change seems to be spreading more lies.
An email sent to DefendGlenn.com by Lisa Hawks, Best Buy’s Director of Public Relations states:
Good afternoon-
I noticed on your web site that you have incorrect information about
Best Buy and advertising related to the Glenn Beck show. Like some other
retailers, we have never been sponsors of the show. We have not
advertised in or around the show. We do advertise on FOX, but only
during an early morning timeframe. We have not changed our advertising
strategy on FOX. It would be helpful if you could relay this information
to your viewers so they are aware.I am in the office this afternoon if there is someone that would like to
connect directly.Regards, Lisa

According to the above statement, Best Buy did not even advertise on Glenn Beck’s show. In addition to Best Buy, CVS, and Walmart have NEVER sponsored the Glenn Beck Show on FOX News.

We have to make sure that Glenn is protected in every way possible. Buy all of his books, listen to his radio program, and especially watch his TV program. If you can't watch, tape it or get someone to tape it. Let's all get behind Glenn and support him. Buy and give his books as gifts to everyone and make it impossible for the left to touch him. They are trying to smear him in every way possible and we can't let that happen. Maria
Damn right. The DVR does it every day. And the daily ritual. And Oh yes the books. Christmas is coming. If you have not read the common sense, it is worth the price of admission. The fantastic part is that the original is included as well, and is soooooo pertinent to our time. It actually made me laugh at some of the jabs that he made, which would apply today, and to whom.
Orielly went after it last night, and rightly so, FOX news is attacked all day long. And who is #1? Going to CNN for the truth and positive light on the american experience, would be like hiring a monkey to paint my house…………………………..no clue.
So very true!
Yep, priceless. At least this college boy can spell and write in complete sentences. Have fun in your own little world there guys.
Hey, a compound word, price less. You might open a chain on that and employ everyone who won't be working in manufacturing. Yep. Sounds like the neighbors dog.
yep,yep,yep. Is that what they are all barking around the table in the white house as his holiness spouts?
I bet you think Mikey Moore is cool too.
