busby1013This one's for Jon today.
After Fox’s Glenn Beck made a comment about President Obama being a racist, Colorofchange.org started a campaign to convince advertisers to cease airing their commercials during his show. As a result, dozens of companies like Wal-Mart, Sprint, CVS, and Progressive have been evaporating from his show faster than Beck’s credibility.
But this week, one major advertiser, Clorox, has also escaped the proverbial loony bin, stating that quote “we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts.”
They then added, “We just can’t compete with Beck’s stain-fighting whitest whites-producing powers.”
