| − | ==Liberal attempts to silence Beck==
| |
| − | Liberal activism groups attempted to silence Beck by pushing his advertisers to abandon his program, after he courageously pointed out [[Barack Obama]]'s [[racism]] against white people and Obama's [[hate|hatred]] of white culture. This prompted "RedState" to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the advertisers on his show who were hoodwinked into boycotting it by the liberal elite.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The publicity over the attempts on Beck's popularity achieved a result that the liberals cannot have intended: Beck was featured on the cover of [[Time]] magazine, and in a final insult to liberal pride; he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the reader. Beck, however, was less than pleased with the Time cover: He stated that ''Time'' ought to have featured the large crowds attending the [[September 12 March on Washington]] and not him on its cover.
