Glen Beck and Red Lobster Restaurant (Update)
Damn! When the oldest lady friend I have was in the hospital last month, I promised her lunch at Red Lobster when she got out. She is out now and just last Friday I called her to tell her I could take her out now and to call me back giving me the day to meet her.
Now with the Glen Beck situation and knowing Red Lobster is one of his sponsors, I don’t want to go! My friend is not into politics like I am and it is going to be a hard sell to change restaurants on her. We have been going to Red Lobster for years for which ever one of us considered a special occasion. I was looking forward to the lobster lunch and a martini or two since I have not had one since I treated my daughter to lunch there on her 38th birthday last year. Where is Miss Manners when you need her?

P.S. If Proctor and Gambles had not withdrawn their support of Glen Beck, I looked over my recent receipt from the grocery store with full intentions of returning any of their products telling the manager I was a dis-satisfied customer. No joke! I was glad to hear P&G made the decision they did. I was with GEICO for thirty four years before I stopped driving. They always treated me fairly. I was never with another car insurance company. Color me lucky.

Men's Wearhouse pulls Glenn Beck ads

Dear [TTG],
Thank you for contacting Men’s Wearhouse and bringing to our attention your concerns with the Glenn Beck program on Fox News. While we support free speech and do not make advertising decisions based on our own personal ideologies, after reviewing his recent incendiary comments we have decided to remove our advertising from his program. We hope that this decision will allow you to continue to patronize Men’s Wearhouse. I would encourage you to please share our decision with anyone else who may have expressed a similar concern.
Thank you again for contact Men’s Wearhouse.
Sincerely,
Matt Stringer

Tell me which sponsors are pulling their ads so I can boycott them.
I Googled “Glen Beck+Boycott” and got 328,000 responses. I cold not find anything immediately to answer your question but Dkos.Com usually has the very latest. Hope this helps.
