On his Fox News show this past Wednesday, right-wing extremist Glenn :puke: claimed, “The uber-left is in business with big business.” But next Tuesday, :puke: is keynoting a U.S. Chamber of Commerce forum in Michigan sponsored by several major corporations, including AT&T, Comcast, and Dow Corning.

Although :puke:’s race-baiting and McCarthyism have led a massive advertiser boycott of his Fox News program, the largest business lobby in the United States has chosen to embrace him as the “dinner keynote speaker” for the 2009 “Future Forum” at Michigan State University’s Kellog Forum on September 15th:




:puke: has called President Obama a “socialist,” a “Marxist,” and a “racist” with a “deep-seated hatred of white people.” It may not come as a surprise that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with its right-wing agenda of blocking health care reform, clean energy legislation, and workers’ rights, is embracing Glenn :puke:’s hate and fearmongering.

The top sponsors of the Michigan event are Comcast, AT&T, and Consumers Energy. AT&T is on the board of the Chamber of Commerce but has pulled its ads from Glenn :puke:’s show. Other Chamber members who have stopped advertising on :puke: — but are giving him a platform in Michigan — include Aegon, CVS, State Farm Insurance, and UPS

1. At Michigan State? that's really odd.

Why don't they pick their dignified alumnus, Thom Hartmann?

In fact, people should start complaining to Thom Hartmann now - as an alumnus, he could raise a fuss.
