Boycott of Geico

I'm proud of Geico and their decision to avoid Glenn Beck. He and other "personalities" are the reason the world looks at the US and laughs.

Good for Geico. I am not a customer, but may send them a donation!

leftist

Glen Beck is not only a fascist, he is an idiot. Right on Geico and may others follow.

for all of you who are unaware, Warren Buffett owns GEICO. If you pay attention to his leanings and where he uses his influence when it comes to politics, you will see that it was a political move.

Refusing to run Glenn Beck advertisements does not suggest that Geico is run by a leftist agenda, but rather that they might aversion to fanaticism. Good for Geico.

Thank God Geico has the good sense to pull their advertising from this fanatic, he does NOT represent main stream Republican voters.

we should all be concerned when corporations get into politics

My guess is that who ever wrote this works for Haliburton, I mean - Cheney, $50 toilet seat covers, I told a Republican about Haliburton, he didn't believe me. Six months later after see an expose on Haliburton, he said that he was no longer going to vote Repblican. A true story unlike others on here.

 "Those people cheering Geico probably have something else to say about Haliburton, eh?  Don't be political idiots. Think for yourselves, left nuts!" - Who at Haliburton wrote this?

Also I would think that this boycott was written by someone from Beck's show. Or someone that is really clueless. Geico should be commended for taking a stand against mean spirited multi millionaire commentators, like Beck & Rush, (or rather as their co-horts call them - entertainers). What is sad is that the uneducated are being used.

Right Wing Nut? You are all out of touch like the government "public servants to their own ends and pockets". Do you not know about the proposed MOSQUE at the 9-11 ground zero sight? Educate yourself and got to snoops and type it in.....THEN tell me who the nuts are. Not to mention the proliferation of the border by undocumented democrates..............

Thanks Geico for not supporting hate speech. Exercize your rights in a free market economy and sponsor whom you choose!

Someone is finally paying attention to all the hatred and fear mongering littering the FOX Channels!

I love Beck, Geico, you SUCK!

Glenn Beck is a dangerous, uninformed, hateful person who is able to sway the opinion of the uneducated. Fortunately, the percentage of these "right-wing" lunatics is very small, compared to the rest of the US consumer base. They seem "larger than life" because they whine loudly and try to manipulate public opinion without educating themselves with the facts. Funny also how so many of the postings of these extremists have incomplete sentences and misspellings in their posts...very telling. Voting with your dollar is important, but be sure to get the facts and educate yourselves. We live in a society that supports the 1st Amendment. Beck and his ilk want to take that right away from us all.

I'm happy to see some corporate social responsibility. Pulling ads from Beck's show is a good move. Whether Geico and other corporations are actually "persons" under US law, it's gratifying to see signs of moral conscience. (Yes, I know. They're making a bottom line decision, but it's a good one.)

I'm glad that Geico pulled it's advertising from the Glenn Beck show.  Glenn Beck is a hate-filled, xenophobic little man and companies should stay clear of bigots/idiots like him. 

I left geico right after i heard about this. They seemed very concerned, one of the executives actually called me to try and bring me back. I think they lost a lot of business because of their little foray into politics. Ironically, they never chose to advertise on Beck's show. They just paid a bulk fee for random slots. They could have said this and left well enough alone but Geico decided to become politically active.

Left or right, we should all be concerned when corporations are becoming the driving force behind our politics. In fact, I would think the LEFT would be particularly concerned, considering the wealth in this country seems to be mostly in the hands of those on the right. Those people cheering Geico probably have something else to say about Haliburton, eh?  Don't be political idiots. Think for yourselves, left nuts!

I'm nor will I be a Geigo customer--they are neither afforadable or that competitive for drivers with excellent records--but I applaud them for disassociating themselves with the likes of GlennBeck and the garbage he expouses and his attempt at nothing less than white supremacy.  He and Rush are typical examples of promoting violence through mod-mentality thinking and complete distortion of the truth--not at all unlike Hitler and those Arian Race Brothers. Scumbags indeed!

I will cancel my policy and tell all my friends to do the same----arent you in the business to make money----can you the hear us----FREE MARKET!

You have caved and by doing so, I have to assume that your company will soon be in the "share the wealth" program----good for you and all your "equal" customers!

THIS IS AMERICA-----FREE SPEECH!!!!!!!!!

First, Geigo is a company and as such when a contract is up can make any business moves it wishes.

Beck supporters are a small but loud group, just like Palin supporters.  But that doesn't stop either group from whinning and trying to reload, now does it? 

Glen and his fellow wing-nuts advocate violence. I'm proud of Geico for doing the right thing and removing they money from his cause.

LOVE YOU GEICO.

ISUPPORT YOU 100%  geico!!!!!!!!

HIT THAT JACKBOOTED BECK PUPPET WHERE IT HURTS!

Way to go GEICO!  "Caving" to the left.  Figures you're as stupid as a caveman!  Glenn Beck rocks...  Hmmmm  Maybe he should throw a few stones your way and knock a little sense into you.  A caveman would understand that, right?

To stay affiliated with Glenn "hate-monger" Beck in any way, shape, or form is definitely bad for business. Though his supporters are a loud bunch, they are thankfully also a small one. Their maniacal bark is much worse than their actual bite. Good riddance I say. Soon there will be another global tragedy like Haiti for them to spit on, and Geico will be far from their feeble little minds. 

Glad to hear so many people switching to Gieco because of this anti-boycott. There may be hope for this country after all.

Glenn Beck should be glad Geico is not going to advertise on his show.  Geico does not have the integrity to be good enough to be a sponsor.  Pray you are never the victim of one of their policy holders.  You will end up having to use your own insurance for damages then sue them for restitution. 

Goodbye, Geico!  Our auto insurance with you expires October 31 & we're switching to Met Life.  Better coverage at a cheaper price & we refuse to support companies that cave into political pressure.  There are a lot of consumers out there who drive cars and support Glenn Beck.  You just lost another one!

The American customer is a powerful voice (hence the power of boycotts) and Geico is a customer of Glenn Beck's advertising services.  Why in the world shouldn't Geico have the right to pull their business from a provider for political reasons? FURTHERmore even if Geico were acting apolitically, then chosing to advertise with someone else might simply reflect their understanding that many of their own customers might be turned off by their association with Beck- a smart business move, wouldn't you say?

But now that I am I'll be sure to give Geico my business.

Anyway why would you want to punish Geico?  By allowing Geico to do as it sees fit and pull its advertising from Beck's show Beck will have yet another opportunity to blubber like a five-year-old on national TV.  My God how proud all you Beck Kool-Aid drinkers must be every time the nutty alcoholic Mormon turns on the waterworks and begins crying.

an overly emotional actor. He is NOT a newsman. He should be on NBC with Friends. Or better yet a tele-novela.

Go Geico!  I can't think of any good reason to have Beck in any speaking role for the purposes of good capitalist advertising.  He is best served as an ignored dish:  Much like arugala in an untouched salad.

GEICO screws over its customers and employees all the time. Get a quote from Allstate or State Farm for those wanting to leave GEICO.

I dont see why conservatives would have a problem with this. Isn't this the perfect example of the free market. If a company does something improper or supports an agenda that is not yours you have every right to let them know that you will stop using their product or service.

My father was a true libertarian (before it was Republicans started saying they were) and he always defended the free market by saying we need no government control of companies because if a company does something the people don't approve of the people will stop buying from them.

Or is this one of those "it's ok when WE do it but don't you dare do it" things. Like accusing people of giving aid and comfort to our enemies by speaking ill of the president when we have troops in the field.

I am glad that I don't use Geico -- if I did I would change my insurance

The Geico Marketing Department is full of double-speaking Hypocrites... they have stated that their official position is that "Gieco does not necessarily agree-with or endorse the programs on which it advertises"... and yet that is PRECISELY the reason that that cowered to the radicals at "ColorOfChange.org" and have chosen to attempt to sensor the voice of conversatives. They made this decision solely because they do not agree with the “opinions expressed” on Glen Beck’s show.

Notice that they do not yank their advertising off of the David Letterman Show (even if he refers to a well-liked Conservative Governor as a "slutty flight-attendant" and makes sexually degrading comments about her children). They do not yank their advertising off of the Jay Leno Conan O'Brien Jimmy Fallon The View The Opera Show MSNBC CNN or any other program based on "opinions expressed".... only Glen Beck as a Conservative!

As a long-standing customer with Geico (over 25 years) I am saddened that this company (after taking over $30000.00 of premiums from me) is choosing to "play politics" and "sensor opinions".

It's time to encourage EVERYONE to leave Geico... because WE DON'T AGREE WITH THEIR "OPINION" either.

Bye Bye Stupid Lizard Guy!!!

One of Geico's current commercial's has the gecko stealing a man's dollar and using it to buy chips. This is the wrong message to send to kids. You do not steal from others.

while you bow to the boycott of some americans...you wind up offending the rest of americans who are faithful fox news watchers... I for one am glad to see you go..Geico...

Thank you for the information of the boycott. Just like these companies (GEICO P& G Progressive- the CEO of Prgressive is very good friends with G. Soros and his ilk.) can block advertising on shows they don't consider politically in line with I can refuse to purchase from these companies.  I won't go to see movies with S. Pean S. Sarandon and her live-in actor partner G. Clooney Jane Fonda etc.

It IS STill A Free Country

All these commies become capitalists when they fear losing $$$.

Y'all pulled your support of Glenn Beck but still contribute to Michael Vick's salary? Seriously?

I work for GEICO and to sit here and listen to you all rant and rave about how we pulled our advertising because we side with one polictal party or another is wrong.  We believe in our right to free speech just as Glen Beck has his right to say what ever the hell he wants.  To read the things that people say about us as a collective unit is wrong.  We each have a right to believe what we want that is why we live in the US.  I just wish people would understand that being in the center of a political debate is not where we wanted to be.  We are neither for not against Glen Beck we are indifferent.  Each one of us has that right to be neutral.  So you boycot my company we lose money we lose jobs we go on unemployment and we lose everything...God I am proud to be an American

You guys are all total Neo-Con Radical Facists.  Why don't you take your Uzi's your satelite TV in a Trailer and move into the hills of West Virgina Where you can shoot your hollow points while cheering on the uneducated non-journalistic "talk show hosts" on Fixed News while munching your freedom fries.  The rest of normal civlized society will be down here talking about issues instead of radicalized slanderous mudslinging 

Congratulations to Geico for not supporting this self serving lying social reporter.

I have just changed from GEICO to Allstates after 3 years of giving them my business.  They will be sorry because we are the customers the people making them money.   I guarantee most of this radical group are unemployed and uninsured.  They have nothing to do but harass these companies.  Companies should never get involved in politics.  Very bad business decision. 

Thank you for your continued support of the Glen Beck Show and not caving into the radical left attack machine.

Just posted my comments on a BUY CONSERVATIVE forum.

“Did you all see the heavy Radio Shack NASCAR advertising Sunday they even ran back to back ads for “THE SHACK”. How unfortunate as  I see today they been placed on alert  as a new radical left supporter. Just as I replaced  my GIECO auto insurance finding better insurance for a lesser price I feel it is best to shop elsewhere.  In the Metro Phoenix area I suggest looking at Walmart for toys Alltel or Verizon for phones and Best Buy Fry’s Electronics or Walmart for computers TV’s and other consumer electronics.” 

I would love to see Fox news refuse to accept any advertisers who don't want their ads aired during Glen Beck's show. Fox is the top rated news channel so screw Geico Et Al let them advertise on one of the Obamabot channels where nobody will see them.

I am saddened and embarassed for Geico and know that the only thing I can do to affect change is to stop giving them by business.  I know many others who will be doing the same.

I plan to switch to Geico simply because the company chose to pull its support from that bigoted moron.

Geico certainly has a right to align itself with people who do not understand freedom of speech and those who think it was wrong for them to do so have a right to let them know. Yes in the USA we do still have freedom of speech and so do you who don't agree. As for me I choose to BOYCOTT!!!! Go Mr. Beck!

We don't need our insurance company playing politics.. they don't pull ads off of other shows when they say hateful things do they?

I pledge to encourage 25 people to drop GEICO or to not use them when looking for insurance.

I pledge to encourage those 25 people to encourage 25 others to drop Geico or not use them. 

I am pulling my auto insurance from your company as of tomorrow.  Most of us who watch Glenn Beck and FOX NEWS are the hardworking tax payers who buy your insurance and/or products and invest in your companies.   I am writing to all the other advertisers as well.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GLENN . . .

Consider another customer that has walked away. Pay attention do not play sides. It will come back to bite you Geico!

Mr. Buffett;s extreme left Liberism is showing

I am not going to give one cent to Geico. I am ashamed of this cowardly move and will urge all freedom loving americans to make sure their money does not go to furthering the Liberal cause anymore. Take back the POWER of the purse from these leftists.

God Bless America!

So to categorize a company who pulls advertising from a talk show as socialists is wrong.  Considering they are owned by the richest man in the worl next to Bill gates.  I am a conservative to the core but to boycott companies over this nonsense is anti-capitalism in its own right.

I was looking to replace my AAA insurance but using those vendors that are willing to follow the whims of those working to hurt America is not where I choose to spend my money.  Companies that are willing to submit themselves to a socialist viewpoint will feel the financial sting from those who want to protect this great country from that kind of damage.

i JOIN THE BOYCOTT AGAINST GEICO.  

My analysis:  Don't support GEICO's products or their liberal funding projects.   "Productive fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts choosing to wisely utilize precious time…to build up. 

GLEN BECK SHOW IS GOOD FOR AMERICA.  NOW GEIGO REPRESENTATIVE STATES "It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out. "

BECK RATINGS ARE:  Fox News Beck 2417000

GEICO'S MESSAGE:  WE DON'T SUPPORT DEBATE AND ANALYSIS OF FACTS.  WE DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH THE CROWD WHO ARE DETERMINED TO NOT GO WITH THE FLOW--LIKE DEAD FISH DO--and actually think analyze the facts make decisions and then cast their vote.    

Wonderful idea. 

Boycotting Glen Eeck is the work of one of Obama's "Czars".  we're watching totalitarians attempt a takeover the Shining Beacon.

And Boycott guy do you have 9.8 million friends to move out of geico??  Didnt think so.  Get a life nerd.

Idiots.

Hey idiot boycotting can hurt people and their families.  I dont come steal food off your table.  Geico pulled because beck made a negative comment big deal.

People don't be fooled by this Boycott creator. He probably just works for a competitor of GEICO and is just trying to spread negativity. Take it easy man.

You choose to pull your advertising from Glenn Beck however continue to advertise on Rachel Maddow Ed Schultz and Keith Olberman.  You choose to support hate speech over liberty and although you have the right to do so should be ashamed.

THANK YOU for dropping your sponsorship of Glen Beck's show!! His rants and raves are his right - but he (and his "network" ) also needs to know his "hate speech" has financial consequences. Also - compare his "rants" about the "state of the U.S. health care system" in January 2008 (when he had just had a MINOR health scare) to what he is saying now. He is either a liar very confused or just insane. . .or all of the above????
