ING DIRECT Will No Longer Advertise On Or Around Glenn Beck’s show
Advertisements for ING DIRECT have been running during Glenn Beck’s show in the UK. On December 16, 2009, I contacted ING DIRECT regarding their sponsorship of Glenn Beck’s vitriol and race-baiting. Since then, we’ve been applying pressure on Twitter.
This morning, ING DIRECT advised that their ads will no longer appear “in or around” Glenn Beck’s show.
This brings the total number of dropped sponsors to 96. Many thanks all for your efforts!
Statements:
Martin Rutland, head of corporate communications for ING DIRECT, offered this statement:
“ING Direct UK has confirmed they do not sponsor or endorse the Glenn Beck show. Additionally, no ING Direct advertisements are being screened during or either side of this show and there are no plans to do so in the future.”
I replied:
Thank you for getting in touch.
To be clear: advertisements for ING DIRECT have been running during the Glenn Beck show in the UK; ads have appeared as recently as January 5, 2010. Does your statement mean that ING DIRECT is pulling these advertisements going forward?
Mr. Rutland clarified:
Angelo
It means we have no further plans to advertise in or around this programme.
Regards
Martin

You are a bunch of Fucking Idiots. Maybe you should get a job, pay taxes like the rest of us so you wont have to bitch and try to destroy someone that pays more taxes then your income. You call Beck out for inciting hate…read your own twitter and web comments you morons.

Good on them!
Beck and his TEA Party Jacobites who are morphed from the white supremacist John Birch society can launch their coup on the republicans without corporate enablers. Those of the malcontent TEA Party who are organized through a few equally extremist Christian denominations do not represent mainstream Christian values. This is a holy war of another kind. They say they will incite the bullet box (as through unloading, discharging) in any failed ballot box: Threatening and intimidating Republicans to go their way or go away. Pushing the right farther just like in the 60’s: Barry Goldwater and the Birchers. The TEA party are conservatives with roots in other so-called patriot political groups, but they all point to the Birchers. Now a few churches or denominations want to seize political power like Lenin took Moscow. NOT ON MY WATCH, NOT IN AMERICA! The TEA’s should read the Patriot Act, and if they are not in alignment with it, they are against it. They promise civil unrest and blood shed? They are not the only ones with bullet boxes to empty. The enforcers of the Patriot act do too. The TEA’s wish to cause riots and capitalize on every malcontent’s energy. Jacobite’s! Anarchists! Religious Insurgents! JACOBITES!
