Wal-Mart has joined a handful of craven corporations caving to demands from the radical Left that they withdraw their advertising from Glenn Beck’s Fox News program to protest what the repressive zealots view as unacceptable speech by the controversial cable host.

Beck’s critics are four political activists with an outfit called ColorofChange.org. They are outraged that Beck called President Obama a “racist” with “an abiding hatred of white people.” Is Beck correct? I have no idea, but he has a right to voice his opinion, just as the four people with ColorofChange have a right to theirs.
