Jack emailed State Farm Insurance concerning their dropping of Glenn Beck adds due to heat recieved from a group called “Color of Change“. Told them he would not be renewing his car/home insurance with them. He’s not heard back from them yet. He also emailed GEICO to tell them he would not be going with GEICO for his insurance needs for the same reason. This was their answer. They said … “we do not take positions on controversial issues.”
Sorry you little GEICO bitch … you just did when you succumbed to the pressure of “Color of Change” to drop the adds. Yes Jack gets your message loud and clear.
And this is why?
Jack happens to agree that both Obami and Gates and so many others like Al the race baiter Sharpton and Jessie the rainbow Jackson and many many others ARE RACIST! Is is a crime to call them that? Is it unamerican to call them what spouts from their racist mouths? Funny when Jack and others say things that could be considered racist no one has a problem calling him racist. And this “Color of Change” group is about as racist as you can get! So fck off.
Dear K…. ..B….:
If you are a policyholder we thank you for being with GEICO and we want to tell you more about this matter. If you are not, we also want you to learn more.
This week we took action to move our marketing messages from the Glenn Beck show and you are wondering why.
Well, you deserve an answer..
If the inflammatory nature of the comments on a program overshadows our message and causes GEICO to be drawn into a national debate, we are likely to reconsider where we place our marketing messages, which is what we did.
GEICO delivers very important messages through its major marketing campaigns: we’re saving customers’ dollars … we’re easy to do business with … we’re looking out for our policyholders. That’s what we hope the public hears and sees and focuses on.
As a company, we do not take positions on controversial issues.
As an advertiser, while a national debate on issues can be healthy and appropriate, we don’t see ourselves in the role of taking part in those debates.
Our business is auto insurance. We want to bring people value and we attempt to reach large audiences with that message.
It is of little benefit to us if a controversy on the program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out.

Jack also checked just for his own info and guess what … GEICO couldn’t save him a penny from what he was paying State Farm. Hello Allstate … Jack been told he has a good a pair of good hands but he can always use a spare back7 pair!
LOL
