==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 whites and Obama's hatred of white culture. This prompted RedState to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the liberal-strongarmed companies.

The publicity over the attempts on Beck's popularity achieved a result that the liberals cannot have intended: Glenn Beck was featured on the cover of ''Time'', and in a final insult to their pride, he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the viewer. Glenn Beck, however, was less than pleased: he stated that ''Time'' ought to have featured the large crowds attending the [[September 12 March on Washington]] and not him on its cover.
