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
Lisa Svac Hawks
Director, Public Relations
Best Buy
7601 Penn Avenue South
Richfield, MN 55423
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.

wow, and at first I thought this site was a joke… I never knew so many morons could gather in one place…
August 19th, 2009 at 2:55 AM
And yet you're here….lol!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:08 AM
My key message as I boycott the businesses:
No more of your products will be used in my household ever. Once a staple now a has been. Is your company so "above it all" as to cancel your advertising on Glenn Beck, a commentator setting up a joke?
Well at least America now knows a Leftist Leaning, Liberal Loaded Company. May you find yourselves with the worst PR mistake in history that will even surpass "New Coke". Say hello to your "Jolly Green Czar" friend from your future position in the unemployment line. Who's joking now?
August 19th, 2009 at 11:15 AM
Hits – How idiots track success. So 850,000 hits sounds like maybe 75,000 visitors to me. Unless you mean something else when you say hits.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:45 AM
Go look in the mirror.
"oh I have to say something demeaning, it makes me a man man. "
Now go back to the touch dinkies and make nice nice sites.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:04 PM
And people who don't want BO dictating healthcare are bigots. And those hits are all plants by the GOP and State Farm insurance.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:31 PM
I am so sick of this. If your white and don't like Obama's policies your a racist. If you call Obama a racist because he is, your a racist. colorofchange.org is THE most racist, hateful, evil, foul bunch of lier's that ever pretended to be Americans. They do not believe in free speech and are the real racists.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Joe, I'm not sure if it's a case of jealousy that a site you own, hasn't received that many or what the issue with those stats. Maybe you are jealous that your friends at Color of Change can't get that much support, that is, unless they pay them to do it.
Between the Kool Aid drinkers visiting just because they are on the attack, and the proud Glenn Beck supporters, I can see the numbers being a strong possibility. Especially if it was talked about on any of the highly rated talk shows supporting concerned patriotic Americans.
The information was taken from twitter.com/DefendGlenn at the following link:

Yeah. O'rielly had that Dr. Hill on last night. And basically that is what he said. I could not believe it, but that is what I heard. AND because they were older and white that makes it official. The left actually believes that. Pssssssst……………..the older folks just don't need you loading up a program to help them with a lot of crap we already cannot afford.
Hey folks, I don't want the government no matter who is in the white house telling me what to buy/wear/or think. And once again, no tort reform? Give us ALL a break. Hell just have me send my money directly to the lawyers.

Forget the humor, this is serious business. Our country is being radically changed and I want thoughtful serious comments. Ms.Senior
August 20th, 2009 at 4:53 PM
You are right. What isn't needed is name calling or labeling like, "he sucks". Nobody goes to anyones house in the morning and ties them up to make them stare at this website. Again I say, go back to the lowest common denominator sites that make you feel better about you.
Glenn already said this may cost him. Mr O plays for keeps, and you are gum under his shoe. Ask Hillary, if you remember what forgotten corner she has been shelved in………………………………………..
Problem is, China has all the blocks. Ask Timmy G. This will come home to roost.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Great story! Sometimes we just need to lighten up the mood a little. Those who are too serious all the time are the ones who will lose their minds in this war.
For a perfect example: Just look what has happened to all those on the far left.
August 20th, 2009 at 7:05 PM
I want a few truthful answers from the feds. 1) Are all of these "Czars" whom answer to nobody Constitutional? 2) How did a person that is a self declared "anachist and Communist get a security clearance to be close to let alone have a desk in the White House? How much are the "Czars" pulling in and who is paying them? If the taxpayers are paying them then it necessarily follows that we should know to whom and how much money we are losing. This reeks of Pay-to-play. If the adminstration won't tell us this then they'll lie about everything. What you see when the COC is blathering on about Glenn is a child having a GIANT temper tantrum because their not getting their way. What they need is a goo spanking and we'll give it to them in 2010. "2010 If You're Up You're OUT!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 8:34 PM
YOU GO MOM!!! Any fools who don't have a pot to pee in and want to spend trillions more need tarred and feathered. The dems are preparing for a full out assault on health care and looks like they will go it alone. The political ads for 2010 will make willie horton look like shirley temple.
Just look at any video of how Barney Frank talks to people in town halls. That is frankly, a clear window into the soul of this administration, and the democratic party.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:52 PM
THIS CZAR IS A RACIST AND HE IS BRING THESE COMPANIES DOWN WITH THEM, I WILL NOT BE A PARTICIPANT IN ANY COMPANY THAT FORGOS FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Oh no. Didn't you hear today. Socialist is now code for Racism. It is our new N word.
This is just like playning candy land with someone making up the rules when it is their turn. Hell they can't make it up fast enough. Look close Denise, ALL the CZARS are shady, at best.
I don't know who had Bush's ear, but he started this frankly. Both parties have a place in this country, and that is under the bus.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 PM
This group color of change is so closely linked to Obama and they are trying to shut down the opposing voices. Is this legal or constitutional? There is something very wrong with this whole thing. Will they come after us next?
August 24th, 2009 at 3:17 AM
Yes, Colorchange is a racist, radical organization, connected to the White House, no doubt.
August 24th, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Give'em hell Glenn and don't worry about your back million's of us has it covered , so damn the torpedo's full steam ahead.
August 24th, 2009 at 6:14 PM
DEAR GLENN,
YOUR VIEWERS ARE BEHIND YOU.tHE ONLY"TOXIC ASSET" RUCKER'S COLOR OF CHANGE HAS IS A GUY NAMED:BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA;BARRY SOETORO;BARRY OBAMA;BARACK DUNHAM,BARRY DUNHAM, who has proven himself to be a RACIST;LIAR and who HATES AMERICA and what AMERICA stands for.AMERICANS HATES COMMUNISTS!
August 24th, 2009 at 6:59 PM
I'm all about defending Glenn. A True American. I am transferring my perscriptions from CVS.
Cancelling my Marine sons Insurance with Geico. Mens Warehouse can forget about me and Sargento won't be on my table ever again. I love Glenn and his dedication to bringing back the constitution. He really has stirred in us the desire to know more about our freedoms and to appreciate what we are about to lose.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:18 PM
This country was founded on the freedom of speech. It is in the "FIRST AMENDMENT". If they are successful in silencing Glenn. Then we have all lost. If you agree with Glenn or not you lose. If freedom is taken from some, it is taken from all. Some of these companies are trying to get out of it by saying that they are pulling advertizing from liberal shows as well. That doesn't cut it. Ever heard " I would that ye were hot or cold but not luke warm". Nuetrality costs lives i.e. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:29 PM
Hey, does anyone have the full list of companies that have abandoned the 1st amendment and pulled advertizments from Glenn's show?
August 24th, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Hey, where do I find the list of companies that really did pull advertising from Glenn Beck?
August 24th, 2009 at 11:30 PM
The most up-to-date list and information can be found at: http://defendglenn.com Be careful which advertisers you write (Some false information put forth by Colors of Change) as it is appearing more and more that the activist group Color of Change may not have had as much pull as they once thought they did.
August 24th, 2009 at 11:41 PM
we love you glenn. thank you for not being afraid to tell the truth. GOD is your defender.
August 25th, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Well, Glenn is being proven right, and all, and I mean ALL the financial folks are agreeing. If you work in industry, guess what Mr head of the Fed……………………..The recession isn't going away, the debt is killing us and inflation next year will likely deepen the thing.
Anyone who wants to add debt now, or thinks you can spend your way up the mountain is one of two things, an outright fool, or this really is just a power play, and I think it may be B.
Yes, GOD BLESS GLENN. The media is whistling by the graveyard.
And if you think I am wrong, get a real job in a real business. Things are NOT good.
August 25th, 2009 at 12:01 PM
You are a brave, bold, freedom loving American, Glenn. May God's face shine upon you and send His angels to protect you and your family. Continue the crusade for freedom. We are with you. I will remember to pray for you and yours in my Sunday Mass. America hears you!!!!!!!!!!!
August 25th, 2009 at 2:44 PM
I support Glen Beck on everything he says since everything he says is plain common sense. It is so easy to understand and visualize the dangers and fatal consequences the obama administration represents that what is so hard to understand why some people just do not see it.
I hope it is just a matter of time for people to realize that Glen Beck only wants good for America and Americans…
I won’t shop CVS, just canceled my GEICO insurance and the other businesses that are for Glen Beck's boycott can expect about the same.
My relatives and friends are doing the same. There are so many options that we won't give our support to companies that are allies against FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Glen…you are doing an excellent job!!! Keep it up and do not be afraid, we the people support you!

"The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion". Henry Steele Commager
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too". Voltaire
The use of fear and intimidation by this administration and it’s czars only helps to prove what I came to believe long before watching Glenn Beck. That America's war with communism is long from over. I hear no one speak of Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) and his ideas on how to take over a capitalist society. Ideas brought over by the Frankfurt School in Germany at the start of World War II. Where these German communists soon established a new institute at Columbia University. Today our society is falling to the thoughts of this Italian communist. Glenn Beck has not mentioned him either. He may not even know. By giving in to fear and intimidation we all lose.
Marxist strategy
Employ any necessary means! The activist group Color of Change supporting it’s founder Van Jones’ knows this strategy well.
August 25th, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Yes it is. Defend Glenn has been doing a great job of keeping up with the Beck advertising so called boycott. A person needs to look around on the site for the details in order to find the current updates of which advertisers are pulling ads and which aren't.
August 26th, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Did we see Mr Beck yesterday? Mr O, in his own words, said to judge him by who he surrounds himself with. I believe he fully knows what is being done.
Communists, Anarchists, Union organizers, anyone who was working toward the destruction of this country. Mr O PLAINLY said he was going to FUNDAMENTALLY change the government, and now the fed, Maxine Waters said the government needs to control business, etc.. They have never worked for a living, and are elitists, and apparently far left socialists.
This government is no longer our friend at all. I only hope 2010 is soon enough to start to undo the damage that is being wrought. And the "mainstream" media, sleeps………………………………………..
August 26th, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Glenn Beck is a racist pig. No company in America should be advertising on his show. Hannity is next.
August 26th, 2009 at 8:50 PM
sono,
if you really want to censorship in action, simply go to Beck's the912project.com where Beck,through his agents, regularly censors known liberal commentators before the even speak…and all in direct violation of Beck's own stated policy. The guy is nothing more than an anti-American, hypocritical liar.
August 26th, 2009 at 9:01 PM
I like the way Glenn hold's both partie's feet to the fire , because both side's are guilty of getting us in this mess. I will stand by Glenn till hell freeze's over and i like his show,we need more like him. I will not shop at CVS, i was going to join AARP but not now and will not support any company who support's this Obamacare bill. He ( Obama ) is not here to take care of us, he's here to TRY to take control of this Great Nation of our's, and he will if we don't stand up ( peacefully ) take it back. Accodring to he Constitution Art. 2 Sec.2 the President does not HAVE THE RIGHT to appoint PUBLIC OFFICER'S ( it forbid's it ) with the ADVICE or CONSENT of the Senate. A CZAR is a Monarch,an Emperor or a KING who answer's to no one except but GOD. Art. 1, Sec. 9 Limit's on Congress–NO title of nobilty shall be granted by the United State's. I to have a special need grandson and i DON'T want some jackass me he's worth saving or helping. God Bless America and all who support her.
August 27th, 2009 at 10:13 AM
And the way it is going there are no companies based here. We would gladly pay for programming we want. Unlike the folks on the left, Conservatives give money to causes and for things they want.
Capitalism, there now you can spell it, I gave you the letters.
August 27th, 2009 at 10:50 AM
Excellent, a filthy name. The racist pig had video of everything he says and it is all documented in THEIR words, not his. Pigs are those who say one thing while doing another.
August 27th, 2009 at 7:00 PM
GLENN BECK IS THE ONLY TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT THAT I HAVE HEARD SPEAK IN YEARS. HE IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO TELL IT LIKE IT REALLY IS. HE KNOWS HE HAS A LOT AT STAKE – HIS LIFE, THE LIFE OF HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, HIS INCOME, HIS REPUTATION HIS FAITH AND HIS COUNTRY. COLOR OF CHANGE AND ALL THE CZARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALL OTHER LIBERAL RADICALS CAN LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND WE WON'T MISS YOU FOR ONE MINUTE. (TAKE WITH YOU PELOSI, DODD, REID, OBAMA, GHEITNER, EVERY ONE OF THE MILITANT ANTIAMERICAN CZARS, BARNEY, WATERS, THE WONDERFUL ATTORNEY GENERAL AND ALL OF THOSE WHO SURROUND OBAMA SO TIGHTLY (YES, OBAMA SURE DOES SURROUND HIMSELF WITH TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS OR TRUE ANARCHIST).
LONG LIVE GLENN BECK AND FOX NEW CHANNE(OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE IN A DEEP DARK HOLE VOID OF ANY ENLIGHTENMENT.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Is anyone else getting e-mails from them wanting contributions for healthcare? I placed them in spam and replied, politely, sort of.
Hmmmmmm. I never voted for them since the Carter debacle. And yes I had e-mail updates from white house. I replied sharply to that as well.
Just think, we get to watch them all cry crocodile tears Saturday at the Funeral.
September 6th, 2009 at 4:50 PM
god bless you glen beck.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:04 AM
If not for Glenn, the white house would still be shielding one more communist. But it isn't won. We have to stay on the truth. It is all we have.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:06 AM
COMN' GITM'! big boy.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:43 AM
I agree with you 100% . I was going to join AARP but not now. When we go to Wal-Mart or any other place to shop,look and make sure it's made in the USA and keep our money at home.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Way to go Glenn! You put the truth about Van Jones out there for the world to see & his resignation is the best thing that could've happened. Thank You Glenn for telling it like it is & keeping America informed of the TRUTH. You have thousands of listeners who stand behind you 100%.
September 7th, 2009 at 3:58 PM
N/A, With the ratings these guys have, whether individually or combined, I really don't think they will be going any place too soon.
These ratings also show just what people want to watch in America. Sucks to be any of the other MSM networks with ratings diving clear into the tanks because there are really so few of of you with your Kool Aid in hand.
September 7th, 2009 at 4:17 PM
The truth will prevail over the lies and name calling from the extreme (L)iberals.
September 30th, 2009 at 4:05 PM
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
September 30th, 2009 at 8:14 PM
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.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:17 PM
And I'm going support all the sponsors who have pulled ads and let them know. My support will cancel your individual boycott. Nanananana-boobooo.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:17 PM
I'll just remind you of something you already know. Our numbers are far greater than the numbers in your socialist agendas will ever reach. America was founded on Freedom and we will remain that way. Thanks for helping to give us a reason to fight back!
December 15th, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Yeah, "our numbers are greater than your numbers." Nanana-booboo. Hehehe
December 15th, 2009 at 4:03 PM
If that "Nanana-booboo. Hehehe" stuff doesn't show the education level of those we are dealing with, nothing will. It appears that a five year old is talking to one of his pears. So telling!
December 15th, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Yeah, there's nothing more impressive and adult than "our numbers are greater than your numbers." Thus my Nanana-booboo comment. It's clear you don't value education anyway if you think I am talking to "pears". I more of an orange lover anyway. And btw, "agendas" don't have numbers.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Oh, but you are quite wrong. I am a supporter of a good quality education that has not influenced by those who have chosen to remove important facts from the text books. It is my belief that if there was a higher quality education system, there would be fewer five year olds making their way all through the education system to reply to blog posts with "Nanana-booboo. Hehehe".
December 15th, 2009 at 7:20 PM
If you are such a supporter of good education, why can't you spell better than a 5th grader? Can't you spell "peers"? Can't you understand why agendas can't have "numbers"? You don't even recognize you were being mocked for saying "our numbers are bigger than yours." It's no wonder the Nana-boo comment went sailing clearly over your head. Priceless!
December 16th, 2009 at 5:41 PM
912, don't waste breath on someone who has nothing to do but scoff. His perfunctory b.s. is really what comes from college boys who couldn't grow a beard if they were starving for food. DID YU KATCH THHAT WHUN AV MAN???
Go read an algore novel or other tripe, and waste your time on something else. Morons need to poke fun at a missed keystroke, while following like a lemming the rants of the "creator of the internet", or black Mussolini in the White House. You likely have two mommies as well.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:48 PM
After their latest comments, I just laughed at the it and went about my business. Don't mind an intelligent debate from time to time, but the intelligence never surfaced in any of their comments.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Yeah, finding a real comment from a liberal is like truth in the senate……….scarce as hell.
December 16th, 2009 at 7:48 PM
So very true!
December 16th, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Yep, priceless. At least this college boy can spell and write in complete sentences. Have fun in your own little world there guys.
December 17th, 2009 at 9:59 AM
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.
July 19th, 2010 at 7:34 PM
How dare you level such bogus lies against a true AMERICAN HERO! Your days are short & its far to late to destroy Becks reputation or his credibility. You are the RACIST PIG for trying to destort the truth about Glenn Beck…. LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR….
