Tides Foundation CEO To Fox News Advertisers: Drop Glenn Beck Or Have Blood On Your Hands — WHAT'S YOUR REACTION? — In an extraordinary move to nip the inflammatory commentary coming from Glenn Beck, the founder and CEO of the Tides Foundation (a frequent Beck target) . . . . .
Editor's notes: a few days ago, an idiot with several guns tried to enter the Tides Foundation offices and kill as many folks as he could. The CEO of Tides, Dummand Pike . . .. oooops, make that Drummand Pike, decided to use that crisis as a tool to get Beck. So the Tides blame game is under way and Glenn Beck is in its sights.
Understand that Pike is blaming the incident on Beck's "hate" rhetoric . . . . that the wannabe murderer got his instructions from things Beck has said on his radio broadcast and his FoxNews, wildly popular, televised program. The man was angry because of Beck's hate speech rather than because of Drummand Pikes's hate speech !!
Let's be honest for just a moment or two. First, anyone who listens to Beck knows that there is nothing similar to hate speech coming from the man. In fact, he appears to be quite the pussycat when it comes to being a tough guy. Secondly, Glenn Beck is the only top-ten broadcaster in the country who has tirelessly "gone after" the organizational scheme that is behind this nation's move into socialism and the redistributive way of life. Near the top of that organizational scheme is the Tide's Foundation, an entity almost no one had heard of before the Beckmeister got a hold of them. They have moved about this free nation and prospered for more than 30 years in relative obscurity and then, and then along came Beck. Their network has been exposed and their political goals have been revealed. And IT IS ALL GLENN'S FAULT.
Rush Limbaugh has talked about such things, as well, and for years. But Glenn has made the topic one of only four or five themes for his televised show. And he is doing the movement Tides sponsors a great deal of harm.
Thirdly, note the rhetorical crap put out by Pike -- "Drop Glenn Beck or have blood on your hands." Can anyone spell "hate speech?" Understand that this is Drummand Pike talking, not Glenn Beck.
Here is what needs to happen: bloggers such as myself, need to find out which companies Pike is talking to, giving orders to, threatening. We need to post those names, write letters encouraging them to stay out of this assassination attempt. Our responses need to be cast in a positive light. At the same time, these sponsors need to know that they will lose more than the price paid to the Tides Foundation.
We should remind ourselves that Beck has already gone through a rather long boycott mounted by MoveOn.org. It was substantial but, in the end, it failed. . . . without a counter-boycott. MoveOn.org couldn't threaten every business in town, so they lost the war. Now, their brother in arms, the Tide Foundation, is taking up the cause. Why not go after O'Reilly or Rush or Hannity or Huge Hewitt or . . . . whoever else? Why Glenn Beck? Well, the answer should be obvious - Beck is causing them specific harm. While Beck cannot do it alone and in spite of the fact that he is not the biggest opponent of the Marxist Left, he is still a huge force for good, even critical to the defeat of these peoples subversive intentions.
We could be wrong on this prediction, but here it goes, anyway. The Tides threat will fail before it is fully unpacked. Midknight Review is thinking that the current crop of advertisers on the Glenn Beck show already know who Beck is. As far as striking out against the larger Fox News network, well, money talks and BS walks, in this case. An advertising dollar on FoxNews reaches 8 times the number of viewers than if spent on any other single cable news offering.
Tides, Barack AND Michelle Obama, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, Andy Sterns, Richard Trumka, Jeremiah Wright and on and on are trying to take down the largest, most intrenched, free market system in the history of the world. They are screaming, "capitalism is dead, capitalism is dead," all because of a few years of comparative hard times. They want us all to ignore 230 years of capitalist triumph in their quest to destroy the founding dreams and successes of these United States. Come November, their latest onslaught will be over. They will never go away, of course, but the idiocy of living off other people's money will be dead, for a season.
This blog will monitor the circumstance, but we are thinking that Drummand's strategy is dead in the water, swimming in its own pool of blood.
Update: here is a paragraph from the Tides website: understand that as you read, you are ingesting the words of those who hate the foundational principles of the nation, seriously.
Each Tides organization pursues a distinct yet related strategy to promote the Tides mission. Tides Foundation works with donors to increase and organize resources for positive social change. Tides Center provides nonprofit management services to over 200 projects across the U.S. working to advance social change. Tides Shared Spaces operates and supports green nonprofit centers. LINK
They are dedicated, fully committed, anti-Christian (maybe anti-religion altogether ), and nasty-mean when it comes to the political war. The words, "Go though and do likewise" come to mind.
