BOND Action, Inc., a national
cultural action organization, has come out in support
of FOX News Channel broadcaster Glenn Beck. Beck
has been under attack from the radical left-wing group
ColorOfChange.org after he said last month that he
believes President Obama is "a racist."
ColorOfChange.org was founded by Van Jones; a self-
described "rowdy black nationalist." Jones now serves
as White House environmental advisor ("green jobs
czar"). So far advertisers including Geico, Ally Bank,
and Sargento Cheese have been intimidated into
pulling ads off The Glenn Beck Show. "BOND Action,
Inc., will be working to expose the source behind the
boycott and counter it," said Founder and President,
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.
"Glenn Beck is right, Obama is a racist!" added Rev.
Peterson. "Where were the boycotts and outraged
activists when President George W. Bush was being
falsely maligned as a 'racist'? This is a blatant double
standard. This boycott is an attempt to silence Beck
from continuing his expose' of Barack Obama's
socialist agenda and his radical 'green jobs czar' Van
Jones."
ColorOfChange.org claims some 33 advertisers have
pulled their ads off The Glenn Beck Show, but that
number is reportedly exaggerated.
ColorOfChange.org has a checkered past. The group
reportedly endorsed outrageous statements by rapper
Kanye West that former President Bush gave troops
permission to go to New Orleans and shoot black
people during Hurricane Katrina. Beck's television
program draws more than 2 million viewers and
BOND Action, Inc., is calling on advertisers not to cave
in to pressure.
Rev. Peterson said, "ColorOfChange.org claims that it
exists to 'strengthen Black America's political voice'--
but it's clear that they are a left-wing, racist political
group that deal in lies. This attempt to silence Beck is
an attack on free speech and must be countered."
