Rightardia racism experiment: the Great Obama Verizon racism test.

published August 27,2009 6:59  EST

Rightardia got a graphic named glenn-beck_racist.jpg blocked by Verizon. So we renamed one of the following racist Obama joker white face graphics 'barack-obama_racist.jpg. We posted it to see if Verizon will block this graphic, too.

If Verizon is non-partisan company, this graphic should also be blocked. Well, who are we kidding about Verizon being non-partisan? 

Anyone want to take bets? Well, the graphic was published on Rightardia.We made it easy for Verizon to find this graphic because we used the following labels with the article: Obama Verizon racism test, barack-obama_racist.jpg, racism, racist.

Update: We checked the AllHatNoCattle.com blog and the Glen Beck 'white whine' graphic is no longer blocked.  Here is the link to that web site: http://www.allhatnocattle.net/8-26-09_glenn_beck_racist_obama.htm

Glen Beck loses eight more advertisers

Cross-posted at Jack and Jill Politics, Firedoglake, and Daily Kos.

Big news today. We've confirmed that eight more major advertisers have pulled their support from Glenn Beck's show -- Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CVS, Travelocity, Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank, Broadview Security, and Re-Bath.

Overall, twenty advertisers have now ended their support of Beck.

The colorofchange.org press release confirmed:

Eight more Glenn Beck advertisers, including Wal-Mart -- the world's largest retailer -- have confirmed to ColorOfChange.org that they pulled their ads from the controversial Fox News Channel broadcaster's eponymous show. Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security, CVS, Re-Bath, Travelocity and Wal-Mart join the dozen other companies who previously distanced themselves from Beck.

Twenty companies have pulled their ads from Beck's show in just the last two weeks. The moves come after the Fox News host called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" during an appearance on Fox & Friends. Previous companies who pulled their ads include ConAgra, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Men's Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Roche, SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Sargento, and State Farm Insurance.

"We are heartened to see so many corporate citizens step up in support of our campaign against Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. "Their action sends a clear a message to Glenn Beck: Broadcasters shouldn't abuse the privilege they enjoy by spewing dangerous and racially charged hate language over the air. No matter their political affiliation, hate language doesn't belong in our national dialogue."

Racist 'hatriots' attack Rep. David Scott, Democratic congressman from Georgia

Rep. David Scott, a Democratic congressman from Georgia, has been the target of several racist attacks in recent days.

Most notably, a large 4-foot-wide swastika was painted on the sign outside of his office earlier this week.

Today, during an appearance on CNN, Scott showed some of the other correspondence  his office has received. 

One of them included a 'joker image' of President Barack Obama with a Soviet-style hammer and sickle placed on his forehead, as well as a reference to the congressman as "Nigga David Scott."

ColorofChange nails Glen Beck who loses major advertiser

OAKLAND, Calif.--Adding to a growing list of advertisers distancing themselves from controversial Fox News personality Glenn Beck, GEICO has pledged to re-direct their advertisements away from Beck's program on the Fox News Channel.

The decision by GEICO comes on the heels of announcements made last week that LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson were distancing themselves from Beck after the news host called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people."

"On Tuesday, August 4, GEICO instructed its ad buying service to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots on FOX-TV to their other network programs, exclusive of the Glenn Beck program," said a spokesperson for GEICO Corporate Communications in an email to ColorOfChange.org. "As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck's program."

"We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. "Beck's rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won't stop here -- we're going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck's advertisers pull their support as possible."

Two weeks ago, ColorOfChange.org called on its 600,000-plus members to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck to cut off their advertising support of his work. More than 75,000 members responded to the call by signing a petition directed at advertisers.

Last week, ColorOfChange.org received confirmation from LexisNexis that they pulled their ads from Beck and have no plans to advertise on the program in the future. Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson called the Beck advertising placements an error that they would correct.

The ColorOfChange.org email urged members to go visit http://www.colorofchange.org/beck/, where they could send letters to executives of target companies. With more than 600,000 members, ColorOfChange.org is the largest African-American online political organization in the country.

FOX's Glenn Beck:

"This president has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... this guy is, I believe, a racist."

Beck is on a campaign to convince the American public that President Obama's agenda is about serving the needs of Black communities at White people's expense. It's repulsive, divisive and shouldn't be on the air.

Editorial: Rachel on Rampant Right Wing Racism

by Rightard Whitey

Rachel Maddow is correct that right wing racism is at new heights. Richard Nixon established a Southern Strategy established in 1968 that 'whites should stick together.'

This was after President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the Voting rights Acts that gave bare bones civil rights to blacks in the South  to stop minority voter suppression. Most of the Dixiecrats then left the Democratic Party and became Republicans.

While Bush was president, the GOP tried to convince Americans that Affirmative Action and other programs that benefited blacks and other minorities was no longer needed because racism and discrimination had been eliminated in the American society.

That seemed to be born out in the election of Obama. There was little indication of a racial backlash against him because he had a black father.

Shortly after the election, an odd assortment of illiterate racists popped up on the Internet and Usenet. Obama was openly refered to as the Moon ni**er or the Kenyan Koon as well as by many other racist terms.

Rush Limbaugh referred to Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama as being racially motivated and is still continuing to fans the fires of racism. Glen Beck and a host of other broadcasters including Lou Dobbs joined in with the 'Birther Conspiracy' that an executive at MSNBC called racist. The head of CNN indicated the birther story was dead months ago.

Several racial incidents have occured in Tennessee including a RNC candidate who published a song called 'Barrack the Magic Negro.' Another GOP staffer released a photo that had pictures of all the presidents on it. The last picture of Barrack Obama was simply a black background with white eyeballs. A prominent neurologist in St. Petersburg, FL published a graphic portraying Obama as witch doctor with a hammer and sickle. An so forth and so on.

It is peculiar that Republicans are always asking the President for an apology when few have come from the GOP for all of the overt racism. It is clear the Republican Party is playing the race card in an attempt to marginalise the president. It is also clear that the US has a long way to go before racism and other irrational prejudices will be eradicated from our society.

The GOP needs to grow up.

Glen Beck: Obama is racist

Obama's mother was white and he raised by his white grandparents for much of his life.  Glen Beck offers no facts to prove his contention that Obama is racist.

Conservatives portray Obama as a witch doctor

By Zachary Roth - July 23, 2009, 10:34AM

The election of our first black president has created a firestorm of online racism among conservatives. And we've got the latest example.

 

On Sunday night, Dr. David McKalip forwarded to fellow members of a Google listserv affiliated with the Tea Party movement posted the image.. Above it, he wrote: "Funny stuff."

But McKalip isn't just some random winger. He's a Florida neurosurgeon, who serves as a member of the American Medical Association's House of Delegates.

He's also an energetic conservative opponent of health-care reform. McKalip founded the anti-reform group Doctors For Patient Freedom.  Last month he worked with GOP congressmen Tom Price and Phil Gingrey, among others to warn about the coming "government takeover of medicine."

In a recent anti-reform op-ed published in the St. Petersburg Times, McKalip wrote that "Congress wants to create larger, government-funded programs for health care and more bureaucracy that ration care and impose cookbook medicine."
