Glenn Beck -- "I'm President Obama" -- douses actor with gas-can contents, holds up lit match
By David Neiwert Friday Apr 10, 2009 5:45am
Barack Obama wants to burn Joe Q. Public alive -- and all because he wants to fix the immigration mess.
That was pretty much what Glenn Beck told his Fox News audience yesterday. Actually, it was more blatant than that:
Beck: And President Obama apparently feeling like -- ah, I'm pretty much done, not a lot more to do, you know? I got all those things done. You know what? Why don't I work on immigration reform? Later this year he hopes to create a path for the estimated 12 million illegal aliens here in America to become legal. But yet, we haven't fixed the border and shut the water off! What a sweet, sensitive guy he really is.
Here's one thing I think the media is missing. I don't know about you, but when I saw that story last night, I did this: Wha-? You've gotta be kidding me! Let me, let me just ask you a question. Maybe I'm alone, but I think it would just be faster if he just shot me in the head! You know what I mean? How much more -- how much more can he disenfranchise all of us?
We have Bill Schultz here, he's from Red Eye. And I'm just going to demonstrate at least how I feel, all right? I feel, when I read this story last night, I don't know about you -- let's say Bill is the average American here, and I'm President Obama. This is the way I feel. I feel like President Obama is just saying, 'You know what, I've got that $3.5 trillion budget here ...'
He then proceeds to douse Schultz with a clear liquid from a gas can (he promises it's actually water) and then hold up a lit match in his general vicinity.
And then he wonders why people think he's promoting a violent and paranoid right-wing worldview that is bereft of anything approaching reality.
Because of course, what Obama is planning is hardly anything like the "amensty" that Beck seems to believe is coming. Regarding the border, for instance, the New York Times story that he read the night before stated this clearly:
In broad outlines, officials said, the Obama administration favors legislation that would bring illegal immigrants into the legal system by recognizing that they violated the law, and imposing fines and other penalties to fit the offense. The legislation would seek to prevent future illegal immigration by strengthening border enforcement and cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants, while creating a national system for verifying the legal immigration status of new workers.
So, let's see: No amnesty, but a path to citizenship. Border security a top priority. An emphasis on stopping future illegal immigration. And the problem here is ...?
Well, that of course would never stop Beck from shrieking hysterically and warning Americans that he's about to set them all on fire.
And he concludes with a truly classic bit of naked dishonesty:
We didn't vote to lose the Republic! We didn't vote for any of this stuff! We voted for change! You know what that change was? The change we wanted was an end to the games!
An end to the games?
You mean, games like pretending now that you actually voted for Obama and change, instead of for McCain and more of the same?
You mean, games like accusing the opposing the president of leading us into fascism?
You mean, games like pretending that right-wingers' Bizarro version of reality out there on Planet Wingnuttia is somehow rooted in anything other than paranoiac, authoritarian fantasy?
Actually, Glenn is right: He didn't vote for any of this stuff.
What he hasn't seemed to figure out is that the people he did vote for lost. And if he had his way, the majority of the country who voted for Obama would be the ones being disenfranchised.
And of course, that's exactly the only thing that would ever make Glenn Beck happy.

didn't see Beck fake lighting someone on fire when Bush was actually burning the house down to the effing ground. Could this guy be more of a condescending douhe bag?
And I hope their attorneys are paying attention! Beck should be sued for inciting a wacko right-wing base that does things like use AK-47s to gun down peace officers in the discharge of their lawful duty. Pittsburgh buried three fine police officers yesterday, but I doubt Beck feels a shred of guilt.
I was just gonna say, pretty short time span between scolding C&L for calling him out because he incites violence ... and being relatively calm ... to, well, once again, inciting violence.
some redneck is gonna try to torch up a Mexican, and Beck's gonna be like "ooh, hey, I never told anybody to do that"
******
this guy is seriously on par with Osama Bin Laden. "ooh, hey, I never climbed into a plane and tried to hurt anybody, I never even ordered anybody to do it, I just uh, you know, stated my opinion..."
They're both pyscho...Bin Laden's just a fucking asshole.

Fucking religious nuts everywhere...from Al-Queda to Right Wingnuts.
is very short.
From the village idiot.
You really have to wonder about the people who actually watch this stuff and believe it.
quite a few of them. I live in Indiana and Beck is bigger than the Beatles here. When you get to talking to these people though you quickly find out that they do not know anything about the world outside of what they hear on Fox and AM radio. A bunch of them are still running around saying that Obama is a Muslim. A girl in one of my classes the other day was talking to the teacher about being a part of the 9-12 project. Sickening.
Hate to generalize, but the Midwest eats this stuff up. My parents live in Ohio and watch Beck and lots of Fox. I asked my mother who is a smart woman why she watches Fox. The look she gave me was the same I would have received had I asked her why she breathes air. After getting over her surprise, she said " well, I like them because they are fair" to which I laughed and almost cried, because this is my dear mother and I am witnessing her falling into the trap. All I could say was "just because they say they are doesn't make them so"
I truly believe Fox and the rest of these nuts pander to those living in the Midwest. I travel back there often and am amazed at the extreme close minded views. It's liked they are proud of being so out of it.
managed to tap into the white anger very well. People are losing their jobs to foreign countries and foreigners and their wages and quality of living are going down. They are angry about what's happening in their lives don't know who to blame, and Fox steps in to fill the void. Instead of actually looking at who the real culprits are Fox redirects their anger and makes it look like liberals and liberal policies are to blame for what is happening to them. Like taxes for example. People on the right are always complaining about high taxes, and their politicians always talk about "cutting their taxes". They don't mean "their taxes" though, but rich people's taxes. I don't know very many wealthy people, most of the people that I know make between $30K and $60K a year. Living in Indiana though, I do know a lot of people who vote republican every election. Not one of them benefited from Bush tax cuts, but they all talk about the cuts like they did. And free market? Come on, what do they think free market means? There is nothing free market about big business holding their hands out to the government for subsidies. The right only screams socialism when money goes to the poor and middle class.
Personally I don't see how anyone can take anything on that channel seriously, especially the Hannities, Becks, and O'Reillys, but a lot of people do, especially in the Midwest.
I suggest you do what I did to my 85 year-old father in law. When we visited him about two years ago, while he was sleeping, I used his cable remote to put FauxNews on "lockout". About two days later, he remarked that he couldn't find it anymore to watch it, and my wife and I told him that the Cable company probably dropped it from the lineup. He's been far more politically reasonable ever since.
that's great. I'll have to remember that one. lol
That's genius!
Devious,but defintely genius, lol!!!
funny stuff... one way to do it anyways. Thank God that Fox is a specialty channel up here in Canuckistan. Pretty much have to pay for it if you want it. No thanks. Most Canucks realize what a dumb shit garbage channel Fox is already.
the cost of living up there then? lol
playing games with the feeble minded.
Wish we had that choice here.
mention that your father in law stopped taking blood pressure meds about two months later?
so you censored a 85 year old man? That's just great.
Reply to Jeffatgzg: So, you are proud of the fact that you went behind your father-in-law's back, blocked out his cable channel, then lied to him about it. WOW....sounds like you fit right into the current adminstration. You should apply for a job there...they would take you in a heart beat.
I think you really meant to say the bush administration.
No, I meant the Obama administration. Maybe you should apply for the press secretary job. He is pretty good at Uhhhhhhh.....Ummmmm....lying.
Stuff it troll. Your useless rants don't belong here. We ALL know who the real liars are.
you wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face. You would much rather believe a lie because you can't handle the truth.
And who do you bring together with your right wing bullshit, the Klan and the Nazi Party?
member for one hour. This entire thread is older than that.
rightmind - one day.
The 912ers are trolling deep and come up empty.
He knew my truth when it slapped him in his face. Then we went to a teabagging.
if I have been a member for only 1 hour. I have been an American for 39 years. I came to this website out of curiosity to see what the "other side" had to say about the current issues. In less than 1 hour I was told to "stuff it". Just like a typical liberal. Ya don't like what I have to say so you try to shut me up. Last I checked I lived in the USA....land of the free.
If you'd come in here, and actually presented your differing POV in a rational manner we would welcome you no problem....but noooooo....you come in here with a chip on your shoulder and start talkin shit right away...so, you can go fuck yourself.
How's that?
Are you angry or what? I do have a differing POV...which is why I made my point (obviously you didn't get it). You may have not liked what I said or the way I said it...but oh well. At least I am not telling you to "stuff it" or go "F" yourself. One other thing, I really don't believe that you would have welcomed me.....I probably would have gotten the same response no matter what or how I said it.
lNm. It's getting old this whole
BS. It doesn't matter to them what we have to say about "current issues", they're here to try and beat back what we say. They are all saying that like they want to have conversations and expand their political knowledge. Eff that, it's a cover so that they can come over here from 9-12 and hijack our threads. The worst kind of trolls, pretending to want honest back and forth. With names like Olive Branch. It doesn't matter what we say or how much we indulge them, they don't care, that's not what they are here for.
Now a few have been alright and decent to talk back and forth with, but there not here for honest discussion.
may have been a bit sarcastic. But I want to know why it is okay to treat an 85 year old man like a child. He is 85 years old......He doesn't need his son-in-law "dictating" what he should watch. So, why go behind his back, delete the channel, then lie about it? Why can't the son-in-law sit down with his father-in-law and have an honest debate? Why be so sneaky about it and think that is ok?
you have a point, but it was funny, I thought.
"so you censored a 85 year old man? That's just great."
Um, No. I didn't censor an 85 year old man. I censored FauxNews to protect an 85 year old man and I am proud of it. In the future, I suggest you trolls learn what a word means before you attempt to use it.
"So, you are proud of the fact that you went behind your father-in-law's back, blocked out his cable channel, then lied to him about it."
Damn straight, Skippy. Faux is nothing but a pack of lying scoundrels, and I'd do the same thing over again out of love for my Father in Law. I'd do the same thing to anyone who openly lies to him. That's because I care about him, and if you don't like it, I suggest you go "Cheney" yourself.
I don't answer to you. I don't answer to your kind. Now why don't you do us all a favor and scurry back under whatever rock you just crawled out from under.
your views onto someone else by lying and being sneaky. You are right, you don't answer to me. I was just curious as to why you did this. If you really love someone, you are up front and honest. You don't go behind someone's back.
Not replying to the Troll
But then I thought I would do the same thing if:
This is not a first amendment issue, this is about a group of radicals trying to incite people to violence and start a civil war. They are vile and what they are doing is akin to what happened in Bosnia and Rwanda. It started in EXACTLY the same way -- by villifying "the other" and making people afraid.
How ironic it is that you chose the term...."dictating your views onto someone else by lying and being sneaky" - It could replace "Fair and Balanced" as the Faux Network tagline.
Olive, what you fail to understand is that Fox nearly succeeded in turning my Father in law into a paranoid xenophobe who thought terrorists were sneaking over the Mexican border. As his world got smaller due to mobility issues, Faux had reduced him to being fearful, frightened and yelling at the television.
This is a man who retired from the Air Force as a Master Chief, and posessed a well-balanced world-view and centrist politics for the vast majority of his life. Over a period of a few years, Faux "brainwashing" had him thoroughly convinced that "Liberals" were coming after him to take his money.
Remove the Faux filter, and his world-view settled down. His blood pressure actually dropped, and he started seeing political issues with balance again.
Let's all remember that we are talking about a network that has now chosen to parade this psychotic nut Beck in prime-time. A man who mimics pouring gasoline on someone as his metaphor for the policies of the Landslide-elected and hugely popular President of the United States. And they have the unmitigated GALL to refer to themselves as a "news" channel.
With that said, I couldn't give a S#!T what you think, Olive...I'd do it again in a New York Minute. Now run along - your False messages of "coming here to better understand what the other side thinks" are not only disingenuous, and transparent, they are also failing to amuse. STFU.
with you if you did that because of mental or health issues. I would have done the same thing. I mistook your 1st comment on this as "ha-ha, I pulled one over on the old man". Your comment seemed so controlling and sneaky. Well, you will now get your wish...I will STFU now. Best of luck to you.
Nailed it!
Olive Branch. Look at it as a pre-emptive strike to save his 85-year-old father's health. That Fox trash isn't good for anyone.
You obviously are concerned about your father in law's mental health. Kudos to you. I try the same thing at work. If Fox is on in the lounge, I try to change it. If anyone objects, I tell tham that as a medical practitioner it is my professional obligation to prevent or deter threats to the public health.
All this from my little comment calling Beckass the village idiot.
Jeffatgzg.
You did him a favor. We somehow all become creatures of habit.
You took him out of the cycle. You did him a favor.
Kudo's to you bud.
...Glen Beck is showing why cocaine will rot your brain.
Still waiting for this assholes past to be exposed.
you forget obama also used coke
The sarcasm was well played.
Obama tried it once, Glen Beck abused it.....and something tells me he will again.
......and didn't Bush abuse cocaine too?
Just sayin'.
between experimenting, using casually, and being a fucked up junkie.
You got us there, Dons...except while Obama admitted recreational use decades ago, your pal Beck snorted blow like a electrolux sucking up cornstarch. Beck himself says he was such a coke junkie that friends he did coke with decided to hold an intervention to force him into rehab. Your justification is just about as sound as claiming because the Pope drinks wine at mass, then he must be just as much an alcoholic as Keith Richards. A swing and a miss.
at proud 2 b american...not Dons Johnson
The self-righteous and hypocrites like Beck are a whole different matter.
Comparing Beck with the Pope is the REAL swing and miss. Also, I'm sure Beck likes to compare himself to the Pope also, but being the Mormon that he is it could be Brigham Young.

for the research on the sponsors.
I included a link to his post.
my pleasure!
emailed most of them a couple days ago. I actually got a few emails back saying that they weren't sponsors, but that they buy big advertising buys and that they have no control over were their commercials end up. Volvo was one of them.
"no control" means "chuckUfarley, we don't care!"
standard cover letter BS.
of Walgreens, which undercuts everyone on the price of my last addictive product, I don't patronize any of his sponsors anyway.
that's what it looked like to me. I got about 6 emails back in total. A few said that they would look into it. Here's Volvo's response;
is to send another letter expressing your disappointment at their lack of oversight of their advertising dollar and if that's how careless they are with their advertising you are concerned that their cars are built with the same lack of diligence.
The perfect response is to also send along a copy of your recent car purchase and say that you were considering a Volvo until you saw the add and received their reply about your concerns.
Regarding Volvo's lame excuse.
OF COURSE they purchase time targeting demographics... duh! They all do that.
We are telling volvo and all those sponsors that if they buy air time that supports a show that tries to incite that demographic to violence then they will NOT get our business!
In fact, if they are so irresponsible that they don't even care what their money supports -- just as long as it reaches a marketing demographic -- then I want nothing to do whith their product.
I used to buy advertising, albeit for a very small company in comparison, but it's their money and they can control where it's spent and where the ads appear - count on it.
thoughts exactly.
http://foxnewsboycott.com/
I'll check that out for sure. Maybe some more arrows for my quiver.
Glad to be of assistance.
They have the sponsers listed.
Also there is a video with the babbleheads at fox dissing Mr. Rogers. The link http://foxnewsboycott.com/fox-news/fox-asks-i...
was a mind control, zombie making leader. Buck & Limpballs are not qualified too smell his shit.
morons, lol!
I just fired off an e-mail to Honda to let them know that I will no longer be considering the purchase of a new Honda because of their corporate support for Fox and Beck but will rather check out their competition (Prius, maybe??). We'll see if the PR types bother to respond. Thanks for the contact info.
Thanks! I can do something here, too. I pay dearly for my Liberty Mutual Car insurance. I am going to email the guy listed and tell him under no circumstances will I renew the policy I've had for 10 years running because of their support for this sad, deranged and dangerous man. When are we all going to cancel our cable accounts?
Thank you CoIntelPro.Pron...
health issues including greed. Fox seems to have become a retreat for the mentally ill but without the treatment component.
April 15th is a nice, boring news day.
And, frankly, Beck needs to be fined/censured in some manner. If he was a child, he would be spanked or grounded, and that's not 'infringing on their rights.' It's teaching responsibility for one's actions.
beck would be in jail.
That's what you lefties like to do. As soon as someone with a different ideal than you blows into town you try to discredit that person. Pull up their past, see what you can dig up. Destroy them. I think the only reason Beck pisses you people off so much is because alot of people listen to him. The only thing he is dangerous to is your progressive movement. And judging by his ratings you could assume that the majority of Americans are not progressives, do not embrace their values (or lack thereof)and do not want to be a socialists government spoon fed pussy of a populace.
if you weren't a fact-denying wingnut, that the polls showing approval of our president by large majorities actually reflected the attitudes of the majority of Americans.
you are right. he has great approval right now. And perhaps the progressive movement will win out in the end, if that is what the majority wants then so be it. I don't agree, but fine. What scares me most folks is that the nation is so divided. It seems that we are very far apart on our views. There is the far left and the far right at this time. We will have to find common ground or we are all in trouble. I love my country. I want it to be around for my kids and grandkids.
I just do not agree with where the government is taking us. Bush started but Lord Barry is doing it faster.
The PROBLEM is that people like Beck and O'Reilly further increase that divide with their "hate all liberals, liberals are the devil" crazy talk. Their shows are borderline incitements towards hate and violence, and the EVIDENCE has actually shown, believe it or not, that these rightwing hatemongers ARE ACTUALLY responsible for inciting SEVERAL people to go out and kill liberals. Of course, you'll probably just blow that off as a "liberal ploy" to "discredit patriotic rightwingers".
Fact is, people like Beck and O'Reilly are borderline FASCISTS!
Yeah, well I guess we don't like to take things at face value. We like to research where these talking points are coming from. I can only assume that if it's shiney, a glaze comes over your eyes, and you start reaching for your wallet out of reflex.
If Beck's selling, Puddinhead, you certainly are buying.
That the MO for you fuckers! Not us!
Stop projecting YOUR sins onto us!
should experience serious repercussions for this. Beck should be in an padded room somewhere
This man is inciting a violent uprising. Then when he gets the desired results he walks back from it. He should know there are crazies out there after all he is one.
For the right wing wacko's "COPY CAT CRIMES" imitating Beck with the "gas" and "match" routine.
The guy probably is STILL snorting coke (or maybe even smoking it) and should be put in a straight jacket.
He needs an intervention NOW.
I like the idea of boycotting his sponsors. Of course since I've never seen one of his shows I have no idea who would be stupid enough to put their product anywhere near the lunatic.
He needs to be Baker Acted!
Throw him in a rubber room with the rest of the drooling, babbling crazy people.
beck should be arrested for inciting.
It is so funny how you have jumped on this Beck haters bandwagon and you have never even seen his shows. You just believe what others tell you. You watch your little cut up sound bites and video bites and think you have it all figured out. WOW. I really feel sorry for people that do not bother to taste the stew before they call it shit. So uniformed. Knowledge is power. School House Rock taught me that!
everyday. I taste the stew so that I can tell others how shitty it tastes.
Now why would I want to poison my mind by listening to Glenn Beck? No thanks.
This guy couldn't control his anger, one of these days he will lose it and cross the line. It's just a matter of time with him.
This isn't crossing the line? When some reason-deficient person actually burns a few immigrants to death what will Beck do?
This is the Fisher King come to life. Except Beck will have no remorse because Beck is a sociopath.
Completely agree - he went quite a bit batshit insane there for about 25 seconds or so - He'll lose it soon and when he does its going to make a BIG splash.
Don't believe the "Glenn Beck is going off the deep end" bit for a second. It's all an act, calculated to draw the viewer in so that they will be more receptive when Beck delivers his misconceptions, half-truths and outright lies. Where as Jon Stewert and Steven Colbert use satire to point out the folly of right-wing politics, Beck uses it to incite and whip up frenzy in his devotees. The biggest danger, we on the Progressive side face, is to ignore him.
His lies must be pointed out and attacked as soon as they fall from his lips.
towards the end there in that clip was pure anger. Normally I would agree with you about the act bit, but this guy snapped there for a second.
Believe me, when Beck slips into "pure anger" mode, it's all schtik, meant for the disenfranchised viewer to identify with him. It's what he's paid to do.
but he pulls it off well. I personally think it would be comical if it weren't dangerous, but this stuff seems to be resonating a lot around my area where no one has a job and everyone has a gun.
Comedy and satire can be very dangerous weapon when weilded properly. Beck appears to be honing his skills.
you saw a piece of crap cut from an hour long episode. You judge so fast. He's pissed off at the inept criminal activity of our government. both sides are fucking us here. Listen from both ears. Not just the left one!
"Saw a piece of crap" is right, he was the one holding the gas can.
Why wasn't he pissed when bush was committing treason and warcrimes on a daily fucking basis?
he did, no one paid attention to it. I have listened to Beck for about 4 years. He hated Bush too, But if the main stream media told you that then it would not work out well for their agenda of discrediting him.
engaged in? For the second time...
Really, well how about some links? I sure as hell ain't gonna take your word for it!
LOL!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV1jq7xZYcI
and do the American thing and watch the whole damn video. not just a few seconds and dismiss it like most liberal loons
are as ignorant as uncle buck and limpballs.
pretty much...
my question...but I expected as much.
get onto Bush a few times, yes. If you notice though, it was always about immigration or something else that he thought Bush was going to the left on. But, as I have pointed out before, he still goes after the left a lot more than the right by a huge margin, huge. I am absolutely convinced that if a Democrat came up with a cure for cancer that Beck, Hannity, et al. would be against it. Anything Liberal to them, no matter what it is, is wrong. That's why I see these guys as complete phonies.
Please give me examples of any of these guys actually giving credit to a Democrat besides Zel Miller or Joe Lieberman. Show me some clips of any of these guys shouting down a republican like they do Democrats.
... apparently, desecrating/burning the American flag is a no-no, worthy of a Constitutional amendment and much ado from the right wing.
But when Beck portrays Obama as an arsonist, this is okay?
Hope Obama starts watching some God-D&***d tv and gets off his smug arse. Because if he is not doing it, his downfall will be these nutwing kamikaze saboteurs who would rather see the country burn than have sound liberal policy and a black man save it...
... any call to have this crap taken off the air or Beck fined can't come from the White House. It'd just make him a martyr to the cause.
It has to be from pressure to his advertisers.
nor should the white house EVER get involved with reporting of the news. Ever hear JFK's speech on that?
The last 8 years?
Or was it okay when the repugs did it?
sound liberal policy? You mean socialism right. That is what the I see is the problem. I don't think there is such a thing as sound liberal policy. The color of the guy has nothing to do with it. This is America. Not France. I don't want the government telling GM what kind of cars they can make. How much a CEO can be paid or how much the employees can make. That is socialist bullshit and it have no place here on this side of the pond. Every country that ever served under socialism (and that is what you do, serve) has failed or is failing. Show me one country, one that has a population that is free and happy under socialism.
that you're a fucking moron.
Sound liberal policy does not equate to socialism.
And the "sound neo-CON policy" of the last 8 years brought this country to it's knees.
I think you sir, should kindly shut the fuck up, you're not debating, just throwing out rightwing talking points.
Sweden is doing well, as is the UK, Canada's doin alright, as is most of Europe. The only reason they're hurting now, is because of the FAILED CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY.
Your party FAILED us.
Deal with it.
why is it evil socialism when the people might get something out of it, but not when businesses get all their subsidies. Free market for us and nanny state for them. You dishonest ideology wrecked this world, not ours. The days of GM and others taking subsidy after subsidy from the government then pissing in its face are over.
I have no party thank you.
What you said is debating?
You go over and ask the Swedes and the French how it's working out for them. Any of them with any sense at all would come over here in a heartbeat.
You can join the Dems...after your lobotomy you can get in the back of the line.
Ok maybe my posts in response to yours can't exactly be called collegial style debating, lol. Ya got me there.
HOWEVER....the Swedes have a robust economy, and some of the happiest people on the planet.
And the French, well they have their problems here and there like any country, but overall, I'd say they're a pretty cool bunch...I like them because they don't take shit off of anyone.
Especially stupid Americans.
But what you're saying, is that because they'd rather live in their own respective nations...they're stupid?
Tell ya what Einstein....why don't YOU go over there with your winning attitude and charming personality, and ask them how it's working out for them...I bet you'd get your dumb ass whupped.
Shut your fucking lying cakehole you moron. You are completely devoid of facts and obviously would rather spew reichwing talkingpoints, such as "Obama is a SOCIALIST!"
The fact is that as soon as corporations line up with their hands out demanding TAXPAYER money, then YES, the government is 100% within its rights to dictate what happens to those companies!
WE ARE FUNDING THOSE CORPORATIONS FOOL! Is that not corporate socialism?
Man, what fucking planet do you people live on?
Beck's ratings are right up there with Hannity's. I know that is pissing Hannity off. FOX is killing the others in ratings because they know one thing. A lot of folks out there hate Obama for various reasons (and you know one reason) and hate sells. And Beck has captured that emotion and is capitalizing on it. Even Hannity got rid of Colmes and O'Reilly is no longer fair and balanced. There's noting like coming home, grabbing a beer and putting on your KKK hood and clinging on to your gun and the bible and sitting down to watch FOX. Yeee ha.
President Obama is the best thing to happen to FOX news.
Beck was born in 1964, so I wonder what his excuses were for not serving in the First Gulf War at the age of about 27,or in the present day war in Iraq/Afgahnistan, which started when he was 39?
Anyone got any ideas why these chickenhawks like Rush,O'Reilly,Boortz,Hannity...?
this was already posted earlier on another blog and so many comments are in favor of this guy! WTF?????
This nonsense is really starting to get out of hand...and some people label liberals nutcases? Wonder why some people do wacked out crap like that for real? Well there ya go. As it was pointed out earlier up the thread, hate sells. The only problem is there are too many people who can't differentiate from what they see on the boob tube and the real world. Beck is obviously inciting violence. Seditious little creep.
Right wing anarcho terrorists are the biggest threat to this government and the USA right now. Obama's surrogates better start calling them out for what they are. enemies of the state... and domestic terrorists and instigators
and better than what most of us have seen..
you guys are totally goofy with your comments!
are you actually reading what you've written before posting? You know the button on the middle bottom is one that you can PREVIEW (please look up in dictionary as many of you are mentally challanged)what you've written prior to sending or are you all on some type of drugs.
to the "who are his sponsors" - do you know anything about the right of free speech or does that only pertain to you and your simpleton families?
Come on - these postings are stupid and uninformed, actually as bad or worse than Beck's side show. Guess it's okay when the Bill Mayer's or John Stewart's spread their stupid, misinformed commentary - that people actually believe! You probably lap that up like little puppy dogs, he-hawing over and over!
You posters and your families should be sent out of the country to see how the real folk live all around the world - and then maybe you'd like to join them.
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
n/c
That was one crazy rant
he was wearing the pool boy's slippers.
.
Beck laughs at your stupid ass everytime he makes a deposit.
Here 30 minutes...another cut and run troll.
You are right about freedom of speech rickp. How about the case of Richard Poplawski and the three dead Pittsburgh policemen: Poplawski was fueled by a toxic mix of white-supremacist/conspiracy-theorist paranoia and mainstream-media fearmongering, including from the likes of Glenn Beck and Fox News. Poplawski bought into the SHTF/TEOTWAKI [S--t Hits The Fan/The End Of The World As We Know It] conspiracy theories hook, line and sinker, even posting a link to Stormfront of a YouTube video featuring talk show host Glenn Beck talking about FEMA camps. An account kept on Stormfront, a gathering place for racial extremists and others from the far-right show Mr. Poplawski's increasing belief in a coming economic and political collapse in the days leading up to the time of the deadly standoff in which he is charged with killing three Pittsburgh police officers.
But like you said, its freedom of speech. Tell that to the families of the slain police officers.
maybe its' the same Rick P posting here from his jail cell??
Yeah, kinda funny that this troll would pick RickP as a handle. Probably thinks of Richard Poplawski as some kind of hero.
Gee.. i watch Stewart all the time. What misinformation are you talking about ? Would it be the videos he drags out to show the right wingnut hypocrisy and bullshitting ? I guess all those videos are just clever photo shop editing jobs made to make the right appear like fucking lunatics ? Dont need video for that. Everyone already knows now. Just the frightwing wont admit it.
that is exactly what it is!! The right does it too. That is why I take it upon myself to get my news form more than one source. If you don't your a fool
you're not making much sense...well you weren't before either, really...but now...whoa
So you blame someone else instead of the
"WACK JOB THAT DID IT!!!"
What a typical liberal stance. Always the victim of someone else. It's not his fault he's a f**king crazy nazi that wants to kill cops. No it's the media's fault!! Give me a freaking break! Stand up and blame who did it. I'm so sick of this liberal 'victim' view.
It's a lazy ass way of living. Hold yourselves accountable and put the blame where it belongs. With the real nut jobs who go on killing sprees. If you think that if you just shut people up like Beck and take all the guns off the street everything will be rainbows and sunshine you are living in a fantasy world. take your head out of the sand!
You say you have an open mind, but your constant repeating of the same rightwing talking points consistantly shows you to be a liar.
is that what you liberals call truth now. Rightwing talking points! ok whatever. stay lost for all i care
Sweet Jeeebus on fucking rubber crutches you are dense.
Your comment makes absolutely NO sense.
Wow...
Pull. Head. Out. Of. Ass. NOW.
He had help. That's the flaw in your argument.
As far as holding one accountable...
Where in the hell have you been the last 8 years?
Speaking of misinformed, that's Bill Maher and Jon Stewert. Ever hear the phrase "Know thy Enemy". Maybe you would be better served to tune in and actually watch a couple of episodes of The Daily Show or Real Time to get a better understanding. Of course you being a hit-and-run troll probably indicates that you don't have the attention span to do such a thing, please give it a try anyway.
I am beginning to feel the real terrorists are right here in America. You know FOX is going to really exploit the immigration thing.
