The pet-food giant made the comment via Twitter yesterday after confronted by the website stopbeck.com.
The site describes itself as "a nonpartisan effort focused on holding Glenn Beck accountable for preying on racial anxieties, employing vitriolic rhetoric, propagating sexism and disseminating willful distortions" and to "to urge sponsors to stop supporting Glenn Beck's brand of hate with advertising dollars."
To date stopbeck.com has helped convince some 200 advertisers to pull their commercials from Beck's TV and radio shows.
