And Limbaugh, and Fox News, and O'Reilly.....
.......but I can't really articulate what it is. Oh sure, I can demonize the folks who tune in (along with those who don't) and in their 10 or 20 years of airtime I can pull up maybe a half dozen out-of-context quotes or a picture of an incorrect map, but I really don't have any of my own evidence or ideas as to why they're bad because I don't tune in---I only know what I read and what I hear the other kids saying.

Damn you Glen Beck......damn you ALL to Hell!

And come on. Try harder. Sarge spends most of his working day freeloading so he can find stuff to cut and paste here. You don't even bother with that.

So who is this guy?

It appears Beck followed directly in the path of Jesse Helms: a career as a radio DJ with no formal training in anything (not government, not history, not foreign policy, certainly not public policy as it relates to healthcare or anything else as far as anyone can tell). He knew how to play records and talk #&%!$ on the radio.

He went on to more closely emulate Rush Limbaugh: the substance abuse, the failed marriages, and shooting his mouth off in a way that massages the wacky right. Dollar Signs, Baby!

I just read a quote where he sees himself as 'Howard Beale,' the Peter Finch character in Network (1976).

Dennis Miller says he's a "shaky cat," LOL


I say he's just a wackjob preaching to other wackjobs.... and laughing all the way to the bank.

All this fear of Beck. All the hate. How powerful is this guy to have such an impact and effect on so many of you guys? He must hit pretty close to home to have you guys spending soooo much time on him.

He is however the kind of turd who should be pilloried.

If he is going to make a public lair out of himself then he deserves what he gets.

Are they naturally hypocritical or just assho!es?

it's totally cool to hate Glen Beck, because he is kkk. His shows are practically KKK rallies.

Even if sarge were still alive, he would be killed by the new healthcare bill with in a few years.

Thank God I can say this, but ENS, you have obviously NEVER been to a KKK rally. Trust me when I say it is the most frightening group of loons you have EVER seen.

Years ago I had to go as the officer of the engine company where these clowns were holding the rally. There was a rumor they would burn some stuff (burn ban at the time) and we were on scene to "extinguish" any fire.

What I saw there scared me. We are talking people that make anything you could imagine scary. So your comparison is pathetic. And way beneath anything I have come to expect of you intelligence wise.

Hatred is big biz, that is why. Both sides do it, but no others are as gleamingly white as Beck.

How many blond blue eyed people are on any kind of TV ads. Infact, at auditions many applicants are ask if they are willing to darken their appearance to get the job.In a world in which we(citizens) have allowed things to move to this point way faster than we are able to adapt, many cannot .

If they'll send an army of young Americans off to a war based on lies, this is child's play. They really joined the club after the lies were exposed and they said, "So What."

The question becomes: what are they not capable of?

Acting like mobs of Brownshirts at townhall meetings doesn't even scratch the surface.
