I know advertisers are scared of being called racists by the racist hate group "Color of Change". I know they are wracked with fear over a handful of Democratic activists who accused President Bush of racism during Katrina now feigning outrage that Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist.

But meanwhile, back in the reality of the marketplace, REAL consumers are watching the Glenn Beck show in massive numbers--even when he is on vacation. In the latest ratings for last week, Beck once again drubbed the competition, defeating MSNBC and CNN's offerings combined--two times over. Beck even won by 800,000 if you throw in CNBC and Headline News' programs at 5pm.

At some point these advertisers will realize how stupid it is to give up all these high-income eyeballs at the behest of 4 people in San Francisco and their army of mouse-clicking college students and bloggers who never buy their products anyway, and have no economic power to boycott them. Until then, this madness will go on.
