It seems Glenn Beck has a solution for all that ails John McCain: He wants McCain to take off the kid gloves and start calling out Obama and "all of these guys" as Marxists:
He's bringing up these topics in the wrong way. Not as a political strategist or a politician or anything else, just as a guy who says, OK: The problem with all of these guys is they're all Marxists -- they're all Marxists. They're all spread the wealth. So look, I'm not going to tie you to these people any more than they have to, but -- but -- I mean, all the way from Frank Marshall Davis to your Reverend, they all preach Marxism. Now, you say to Joe the Plumber, I'm going to take some of your wealth and give it to somebody else, that's Marxism.
Well, no that isn't Marxism, unless your understanding of it is at about fifth-grade level. But that's beside the point, isn't it?
We've already graduated from wingnuts calling Obama and the Democrats "socialists" to "Marxists." Next: "Pinkos" and "Commies."
We're not just living in Nixonland. We're living in McCarthyville. I guess the next step in the devolution of the right is for the white hoods to come out.

Then when Obama wins he'll send Beck to re-education. Or in Beck's case just education.
guantanamo
or
abu ghraib
then they can be closed.
Careful, Harry. Your comment will most likely now be copied and pasted on right wing blogs to prove that we leftists really do want to destroy America! haha, snark off.
They would consider education a threat.

The problem is this.
Many people in America start out with nothing, work their way up, save, and make their American dream come true.
Others, need help because they have some sort of disability. I have no problem helping for situations like this.
The problem comes in when abuse of the system takes place. If someone came from nothing and is now living the American dream, is it right to allow money to be given to people that are capable to help themselves but refuse to do so? This, is the problem. If someone legitimately needs help, then by all means, I am willing and able to help them.
Now if they have the help but are abusing the system, this is another matter. The problem with the vast majority of programs such as welfare, food stamps, free housing etc.. is that their are people who abuse the system. Where is the self responsibility and the oversight to make sure that people getting help actually need the help?
Here is a prime example of how Obama's health plan could be abused.
From the Obama website:
"Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year.
If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options."
Now I don't know about some of you but what if people that have health insurance currently say;Wait, why should I keep paying for insurance, I am dropping mine and getting on the government health insurance plan.
Wouldn't the cost of this program automatically skyrocket if everyone with insurance suddenly dropped their plan to join the Obama plan? How is this better? I know some of this may not go along with some of the ideas here, but at least think about it.
I would hope there would be a check in place to verify the availability of insurance through employers. Otherwise, yeah...what you say is true.
I haven't studied the true costs of insurance (I am a state employee), but I would think that insurance would still be cheaper through an employer.
What makes me crazy is the right always focuses on people working the "system". Yes they exist, but there are still more folks who are honest and do the right thing. If you listen to some of the media (FOX) you would believe that all minorities and some others bilk any and all social programs. Perhaps these people do this in a disproportionate number compared to the overall US population, however they are not in the majority.
And guess what? They're Republics.
Working the system? Isn't that part of the Republican platform? Isn't that how we got into the current mess in the first place?
What about the wealthy who "work the system?" Dollar for dollar, I'd bet the farm more corruption exists on the part of the "haves."
Come on, man. I respect your right to have your own opinion, but you can't have your own set of facts. Facts are facts.
What Obama is talking about is that if your employer currently gives you health insurance, and you like that insurance, you can stay exactly where you're at. What's so hard about that to understand?
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but generally speaking, if more people signed up for a health care plan, the cost would go down, not up. You have nothing to back up your fictional argument with. And it goes against everything I know about the way markets operate.
The bottom line to all of this is that our healthcare system is broken. Plain and simple. It's broken. For example: my mother is 60 years old and because of a pre-existing condition, she is unable to get health insurance. She is unable to pay the exorbitant cost of health insurance. My father is retired after working his entire life. He has lots of money, thank god. But she requires a medication that costs $38 dollars a day. Do the math on that. That's $13, 870 dollars a year that my father has to pay out of pocket just to keep my mother alive. The bare minimum. To keep her alive. These aren't little numbers that we're playing with here. We're talking about real, live human beings who desperately need our help. WE live in a community. WE should help take care of our elders and sick.
She doesn't qualify for Medicaid because my father has too much money. She's not old enough for Medicare. What is she supposed to do? If you're so smart, you tell me. I'd really, really like to know.
If "socialism" or "marxism" will keep my parents out of the poor house, then so fucking be it. Not that Obama's plan is even remotely communist in any way.
And if you're going to site a source of information, sport, you might want to dig a little deeper than wikipedia. I'm done with people who are too stupid to know they're being screwed in the ass by our dirty health care system. I'm done with people like you. One day, you're going to wake up without a job, without insurance and find out you have cancer. Or someone in your family is going to. Or you're going to find out that your insurance company isn't so hot once you really get sick. Then come talk to me. You, no doubt, have never had to really get sick and deal with people who see you as a number, not a human being. You've never had to file for bankruptcy because you got sick and your insurance company dropped you. We're not talking about deadbeats and freeloaders here. We're talking about our parents, our neighbors and the people we work with.
I don't know if Obama's heallth care plan is the best thing out there, but damnit it's a plan. And, by the way, it's pretty darn similar to what Mitt Romney did in Massachusetts. It's something. Not some false B.S. about giving you 5 thousand dollars to buy your own insurance. I hate to tell you this, but it costs a shitload more than five grand for an individual to buy insurance on his own. And you can walk up to any insurance company in the world with your paltry 5 grand, but that will get you exactly dick if you're already sick.
Whatever. Good luck. I hope you don't ever get sick in this country because it ain't pretty out there.
Ok, here's the deal,I was trying to show an example how a system may and very much probably will be abused.
No 1. your statement about employer insurance, let us say I don't like my insurance and I drop it and I want to join the government run insurance, well who pays for the insurance? The taxpayers, the more people who join, the more money they need to run the program,so the cost will go up, where will the extra money come from? this is as simple as I can put it for you. I also quoted from Obama's own website about the plan.
No 2. Yes you are valid when you say employer insurance goes down the more people join, but it would have an opposite affect on a government run basis. The difference is that the people on the employee program are working and making a pay check, the government one is not relative to that, because you will have people not working and not paying taxes and using the service. The more people join the system the more revenue they will need to run the program.
No 3. I am sorry that your family is going through this crisis, but we all have families, I have indeed filled bankruptcy in my life but I got back up and started again. On the subject of your family I will be as delicate as I can. I am not trying to be cruel when I ask why your mother and father did not get insurance when they were in good health, I just do not have all the facts. You are right when you say WE are a community, so what can be done? Well, have you thought about your parents living with you? that would mean less output for them to afford additional expenses. Share a place together to help burden the cost. My grandparents moved in with my father for a time, it is just a suggestion.
I have no magic button to remove everyone's problems, my explanation was to make sure people were informed that this insurance plan, can and probably will be abused by people who can afford their own.
Thank you,
As, it seems, can any plan anyone has ever tried. Crooks and liars are everywhere. Not a good reason something different shouldn't be tried.
Why don't you invite Joe Sixpack's parents to move in with you, just for a time.....?
If I had the room, sure, but, at the moment I have family living with me due to their house being destroyed from Hurricane Ike.
Your argument works up to a point and that point comes up very early - it assumes that everyone who is successful does so in a completely honest and fair way - without any advantage whatsoever. If you're making the argument that people can abuse the system on the entitlement end - you have to allow for abuse on both sides. In addition, it is not a completely fair and balanced system when the wealthy often pay a lower percentage of taxes than the middle class. That's where the saying - "the rich get richer" comes from.
Jesus was a socialist
1. humbly patient or docile, as under provocation from others.
2. overly submissive or compliant; spiritless; tame.
3. Obsolete. gentle; kind.
For Jesus to say the meek shall inherit the Earth has nothing to do with money you uneducated left-wing twit, do the world a favor and open a dictionary next time you want to pretend to be intelligent. Jesus was no marxist, he was compassionate and wise but did not believe in opposing people's freedoms or muting the voice of reason as Marx and stalin did in Russia, (i.e. read your history book). Obama is not a marxist but it cracks me up how you left wingers throw mud at people like Beck and McCain and forget all the people on your side of the aisle that are just as corrupt, illogical and incompetent. For example, we're in this financial crisis because in 1997-1998 Bill Clinton pushed through housing policies that applied pressure on banks to make bad loans to people who could not afford them, it was part of the "American Dream of home ownership," Clinton was quoted. GW continued these policies liek an idiot and it blew up in his face. You see BOTH DEMS AND REPS are guilty. Does anyone bother to wonder where all this stimulus oney is coming from that the DEms want to hand out? Their printing it with nothing to back it up and inflation is going to skyrocket because in order to keep the wheels greased their going to have to keep giving and giving.
As far as Socialism in America, its hilarious to see how all you freedom touting lefties are so quick to want to supress the freedom and rights of those that do not believe what you believe. God knows if I told you you couldn't burn the flag or get an abortion you'd have my head and say I couldn't do that but here ya'll go with the hate speech toward Glen. I read on here comments like Glen Beck shouldn't be allowed on the air and he should be regulated. Yah, that's in the constitution. As for taxes, yes we need taxes, we need programs but we do't need to be slaves to the system. When we give up more than we should we in a sense empower those that are taking from us as master's over us. I will not be subjected such a system. People need help, but guess where the best help comes from, YOURSELF! Your community. government screws up almost everything its involved in, why can't people see that. People are what run things best. John Stossel on 20/20 nailed it when he studied the economy and people run the economy best, not the government, not regulators, free people with great ideas and inventions. Looking for a hand-out is your way of surrending your own power to someone else and we are doing too much of that in America already let alone under a socialist leaning president and Congress that by the way has done nothing truly productive in the 2 years they've been in charge but I guess you guys just excuse and explain that away. How can you rationalize the reality that if you worked 60 hours a week to build a successful business, you sacrificed and then ol'barack comes along and take 38% + capital gains taxes and gives it to a homeless man who then spends his new oney on booze and cigarettes instead of education, shelter and food? And don't give me that bull about that's just a small goup of people. I live in the ghetto and I know almost everyone here works the system that's why they can never escape it, their so dependent they have forgotten how to stand on their own two feet. I doubt you'll agree with me but I don't care someone needs to stand up to the stupidity being spouted on this blog.
Matthew 25
35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act.
53 Republican Senators plus one Democrat - AYE
44 Democrats no Republicans - NAY
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act, Pub. L. No. 106-102, 113 Stat. 1338 (November 12, 1999), is an Act of the United States Congress which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, opening up competition among banks, securities companies and insurance companies. The Glass-Steagall Act prohibited a bank from offering investment, commercial banking, and insurance services.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) allowed commercial and investment banks to consolidate. For example, Citibank merged with Travelers Group, an insurance company, and in 1998 formed the conglomerate Citigroup, a corporation combining banking and insurance underwriting services. Other major mergers in the financial sector had already taken place such as the Smith-Barney, Shearson, Primerica and Travelers Insurance Corporation combination in the mid-1990s. This combination, announced in 1993 and finalized in 1994, would have violated the Glass-Steagall Act and the Bank Holding Acts by combining insurance and securities companies, if not for a temporary waiver process . The law was passed to legalize these mergers on a permanent basis. Historically, the combined industry has been known as the financial services industry.
…
Economist Robert Kuttner has criticized the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act as contributing to the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis. Economists Robert Ekelund and Mark Thornton have made similar criticisms, arguing that while “in a world regulated by a gold standard, 100% reserve banking, and no FDIC deposit insurance” the Financial Services Modernization Act would have made “perfect sense” as a legitimate act of deregulation, under the present fiat monetary system it “amounts to corporate welfare for financial institutions and a moral hazard that will make taxpayers pay dearly”.
“John McCain voted FOR the bank laws that led to the current credit crisis. John Mccain’s economic advisor WROTE the law. 53 Republicans voted YES to the law. When you’re in danger of losing your house, can you take a chance on more of the same from those who wrecked out economy?”
WOW listen to all these [Deleted-Sitemonitor]
[And look at you, posting on a thread that's more than a month old and deader than dead. Talk about smart. And I just got rid of your moronic babbling-Sitemonitor]
Is it the 1950's again?
Glenn, you do understand that for roads to be built, cops to be paid, and armies to be raised the gov't has to "take some of your wealth and give it to someone else" right?
This is called taxation.
It is part of the "Social Contract" (good old John Locke) and is one of the principles our society is built upon.
Also, Glenn, buddy, pal, did you miss the part where Obama said directly to Joe "The Keating 5 Plumber" that his fine would be zero, his taxes would most likely not go up, etc etc? You didn't? So then, you did hear Obama say that...and yet you still...why am I not surprised.
that glen missed school entirely.
And keeping with trends in our country as of late he was rewarded for his ignorance with a TV show and buttloads of cash...
I know he actually went to school because it was the same school I went to. He was a year younger than I was so I can't actually vouch for him attending classes but he WAS a student at the school.
If I can find my year book, I can probably find a picture of him when he was about 15 or so.
Congratulations, Glenn Beck, you attended high school. Wow.
Glen Beck = As$ Hat
The Republicrats want a regressive tax structure in an inverted pyramid. The small folks are not organized and they don't understand what has hit them.
The Republicrats spend liberally on the military industry, but are tightwads elsewhere. They borrow the money so as obscure the pain.
Borrow and spend. Reagan did it well, Bush perfected it.
They are robbing from our future.
Beck is just another tool to this end.
Obama, and probably no politician who wants to be elected is able to tell the truth about what needs to be done.
We need very substantial tax increases to pay for our past and looming folly.
We are looking at more than a trillion dollar deficit next year already cut in stone.
Obama will have no room to maneuver.
"The Republicrats spend liberally on the military industry, but are tightwads elsewhere."
HAH, not even.
Totally agree. The only difference I see in Obama vs McCain is that Obama might actually enforce CAFE standards and also within six months of his administration to give a speech on how American's need to tighten their belts and sacrifice, but if you look at the military budget it won't have changed or gone up.
On topic, beck is an idiot and can we please get rid of the (far*10^8) left bs already as there is no real leftism in the US.
"On topic, beck is an idiot and can we please get rid of the (far*10^8) left bs already as there is no real leftism in the US."
Couldn't have said it better myself. The politics that people like Bill O'Lielly and Glenn Beck espouse as being "far left" would be right of center in just about any other industrialized nation on earth right now. This entire country is so far lost to the right that it's almost amusing ANYONE in this country is labeled as being a "leftist."
They should go to Europe sometime and learn what real "leftists" are.
The problem with these guys is that they are still in "cold war mode", as I like to call it. In cold war mode you get people to fear anything related to communism to justify your actions or words accordingly.
For example the deficit was not the result of a disastrous mix of war, tax cuts, and irresponsible borrowing from other countries. It was the cause of big government spending on social programs and services or as they call it, pork.
The economic problem is not the result of deregulation in the financial industry nor the free trade agreements that let jobs ship overseas. It was the result of the big bad government forcing banks to give home loans to minorities.
In the minds of people like Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity; the government shouldn't do anything for people except maintain police and a military and give a reason to have a flag. Everything else should be handled by big business and private companies who should not pay any tax except a consumption tax, which they could easily get around. (To be fair however they want that for individuals as well.)
You try to say any different, sensible solution that requires government oversight or management then you are a communist.
Perfect! Nicely stated.
When the people retake this country, Glenn Beck should be forced to spend the rest of his days walking around with a dirty diaper stuffed in his mouth!
"You try to say any different, sensible solution that requires government oversight or management then you are a communist."
Most demagogues like Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh etc are all about LESS government when it comes to oversight, regulation, enforcement of the rule of law...BUT are OK with MORE government involvemnet in the form of corporate welfare. They're simply spouting the party line that their handlers instruct them to spout. Corporate shills, each and every one of them.
Utter hypocrisy.
They fit the defenition of fascist perfectly.
Guess Mr. Beck isn't familiar with that "Jesus Christ" guy, huh?
People like Beck would re-crucify Christ in a hot minute if he ever came back.
Imagine it: A long-haired, dark-skinned guy in sandals and a robe (or "muslim garb" as I'm sure Beck and his ilk would call it) wandering around telling people to give money, food, and clothing to the poor, to heal the sick, to embrace those deemed sinners (Mary Magdalene anyone?). A freakin' Palestinian looking hippy telling everyone to love each other, to stop fighting, to turn the other cheek, to love thy enemy, the meek shall inherit the Earth, blessed are the PEACEmakers, judge not lest ye be judged, how you treat the least among you is how you treat God/Me, a rich man would have an easier time passing through the head of a pin than the gates of heaven...on and on...
They'd crucify him all over again.
Jesus was as progressive as they come, and the reason he was crucified was because he exposed hypocrisy and challenged the status quo in the religious establishment of his day.
I suspect though he'd more likely be labeled an 'enemy combatant' and sent to Gitmo.
IMO The fact that so many rightwingers claim to be promoting 'Christian' values is the height of blasphemy. And while Barack Obama isn't the Second Coming, the mobs at McCain rallies are cut from the same cloth as the bloodthirsty mob that pardoned Barabus.
Wewease - Bawack!
For sure, Jesus was a dirty fucking hippie. That's why, even as a non-Christian, I still dig Jesus. I do believe he was a cool and progressive thinker that pointed out the hypocrisy of powers that were. I believe he lived, and gave the right-wingers-of-the-day a hard time. I don't believe he is the son of "god". And PS Jesus was most defintiely a "Marxist".
Make that, the original Marxist. "The meek shall inherit the earth," is not exactly GOP stuff.
What you tend to forget is that Jesus asked that each of us reach out to our fellow man, individually. You out of your pocket and I out of mine, personally. No where did Jesus say government was to be the means to "give to the poor." I believe His purpose was to get us each involved, and you can not get involved when you leave it up to the distance of bureaucracy. Which to be “fair” government bureaucracy has to give equally to the crazy left wing and also to the crazy right wing (a democratic philosophy).
You and I can decide much better where to place and which organizations deserve our money, it should not be our government that does that. And traditionally Americans give more when we are not forced to do so.
What you are describing above is what church organizations do BEST and our government stinks at.
Jesus isn't everyone's Big Perfect Buddy. And there are many who pretend to be for Him who are perpetrating the entire fraud upon us, ostensibly in His name. Their specialty in life is to get poor people to voluntarily give up goods and services, while they hoard wealth.
Don't pull that Jesus crap here. Take it to the Greedy Old Plutocrats, the Thugs, The PNAC Posse. Remind them. We're already helping each other here, you arrogant article.
amen my brother
They'll trot out the "racialists" like Jared Taylor and David Horowitz first, THEN the hoods will come out.
Reporter Attacked At Palin Rally
Anyone know if the reporter had this guy charged with assault and battery? We can't let this crap go unchallenged.
was lucky it's was't Me He assaulted. He'd be waking up just about now from life-saving surgery.
This is really the defining moment for a fascist state, defining the opposition as people who should be (pick your favorite) wire tapped/placed in prisons for political views/ shipped to prison camps for political views/ tortured for political views/ denied the rule of law on the basis of their political views. Our country has devolved to the state that this joker can talk like that and millions of people agree with his insane statements. I have lost count of the number of military people I've talked to who support the republican party, but not the United States. We are way, way, way behind the mirror at this time.
What are you talking about? Those are just good old-fashioned, down-home, American values doggone it.
Is THIS What They Mean by ‘The New Marxism?’
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=3318
Yeah, I guess that works, consider that McCain's campaign slogan could be "Whatever it is, I'm against it."
Although I like the Marx Brothers too much to compare McCain campaign strategy to them.
Fifth Grade Level - That pretty much sums up Glenn Beck.
He's pretty much been a DJ and radio talk show guy. It's a perfect job for him > he can talk, he's full of shit, so now he can just spend his time spewing never-ending crap.
Maybe he could get on the show "Are You Smarter than a Fifth-Grader?"
Glenn Beck to join Fox News next spring.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/16/glenn-bec...
you knew that, right?
Won't have to worry about accidentally viewing the twit as surfing.
And also, the way the Repubs are going, the party might not exist in 2 years.
I think this is the first time I have seen Glenn Beck on C+L in a long time. I'm not sure but isn't it better to just ignore this toad? Glenn Beck and John Gibson. Turds from the same bowel movement.
...but read the content and then head straight here to the comments.
In any case, vermin like Beck need to be exposed to the sunlight on a regular basis, imo.
Give it a rest, Mr. Beck. We just nationalized the banks in this country.
Rich people benefit from the nationalization of banks. Poor folks benefit from National healthcare and lower taxes to the middle class. The former is perfectly acceptable, the latter, detestable.
You know the saying "socialize the costs and risk, privatize the profits." Well, that statement sums up the modern Republican party pretty well IMO.
already are out, those white hoods they are. Inside the cloak of invisibility of McCain's l'il friend in last night's SNL skit.
And behind the curtain of their sleaze'n'smear robocalls and shout-outs at rallies.
Oh, and right in there with the "invisible hand" that's been operating the economy the last almost-eight years.
this reminds me of that radio guy Matthews had on who kept saying, "He's an appeaser, like Neville Chamberlain." Matthews asked for details, and the guy didn't know what he was talking about.
I'd love for someone to interview Beck and ask him exactly what Marxism is. This guy is such an arrogant prick, I live for the day when someone shows him up for the goon he is.
I'd love for someone to sponsor a series of debates featuring Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, etc. on the right and Olbermann, Maddow, etc. on the left, with a neutral party checking facts and determining a winner.
I know that the crowd on the right is smart enough to turn that challenge down because they're just smart enough to know that they're ignorant but bombastic.
Sadly No has been keeping close tabs on the winger distress of late.
David, they have had their way with this country for so long that accepting that they must change, and that the transformation must be considerable is hard for the wingers to handle.
For awhile, if Obama wins, I expect shrill noise and blither, followed by more violent actions until the inevitability of the need to change sinks into their thick skulls.
We must remain watchful.
MIND is all over the place.
As a result he'll reap abundant fruits and rewards of his negativity and downward spiral into irrelevance.
2nd Glenn Beck is the king of idiots.
Glenn, its called taxation, which you don't see any need for, but getting past that, every tax policy distributes money. When it from the well-of its called "wealth", when it comes from me, its "earnings". You can't have taxes without making some sort of policy, intentional or not. The current policy is based upon that largely "trickle down" theory.
The wealthy assets owners (in large quantities) like treating interest or investment income (passive) like payroll earnings. One you make while sitting on your ass, the second you make by working your ass off.
So, if you have few interest income instruments, the giving of your life over a 35-40 year "career" is somehow valued the same as merely putting your money in stock. That is not the same as in creating new jobs and making small companies work. That is simply false.
Lastly, Glenn Beck is an idiot.
Oh god, I wish more americans were like Glen Beck, the great uniter, and talking straight with out double talk, Oh if only..........What a chump, Beck, why don't you go jump off a bridge and take Blitzer with you, Thanks.
What am I doing wrong??? I've got more brains in my scrotum than Glen Beck has in his pudgy, pastey white body, but somehow, he's got a show and making millions of dollars spouting hysterical, thinky veiled racist bullshit!!!!
I guess America is the land of opportunity...if you're a fat f*cking dullard trying to infuse fear and mininformation to the American people....like Sean Hannity, Billo, Dousche Limbaugh, et al!
Ehh, personally I don't see anything wrong with Groucho Marx's humor...It's a little dry sometimes and little slapstick at others, but then so is McCains campaign... Not my cup of tea but some folks likes that brand of comedy.... heheheh OK, humor moment over...
On a more serious note, all I can say is Glenny Glenny Glenny...
GROW UP BOY!!!!! JD
To update Teh Great Groucho:
Any network that would have him as a commentator isn't worth watching ..
This is rich. Glenn Beck calling someone else a Marxist - this guy's a certified nazi himself. Glenn Beck = American's great divider.
Get this moron off the air. No one's listening to his drivel so I guess he had no alternative but to join F**ks News. His career's in the tank.
If the people of this country no longer have any money, are dying from lack of health insurance (and they are and have been), can't get an education to better their lives and the lives of their children; if all the money and the power is in the hands of the few, the selfish, the Republican - How in hell do you expect the economy to run?
The answer is, they can't. We are witnessing the END of the Republic party.
(with beck in mind) . .
Not to get too technical but don't you have to evolve before you can devolve?
Ever try being reasonable and civil with one of these types?
It's not possible
Now he's addicted to negativity. The original cause of his addictions to begin with.
what drugs ... chamomile tea?
Actually.. The guy is such a depraved pink waist it was probably gold paint.

And, also a "born-again" Mormon who probably does wear that magic underwear...
Seems Beck is out at CNN. I saw on a RW blog that he "dumped" CNN and is slithering over to a more appropriate lair: FoxNews. Hah.
This Beck goof is such a useless man...this dumb bastard still thinks that GOP whore/dolt Joe the Plumber is a legitimate story. Beck is one stupid fuck.
And Wolf, do you ever tire of licking Republican assholes?
Oh, the white hoods came out a while ago.
How is giving 700 billion to banks (not the American taxpayer) not saying "...to Joe the Plumber, I'm going to take some of your wealth and give it to somebody else, that's Marxism."?
This is not breaking news but should and will be. John McCain's own son worked for a S & L - imagine that? A McKeating with his finger in the cookie jar of this corruption?
I'm certain it will be forthcoming just how much John McCain's own son who's involved in this banking bailout will stand to gain.
Just as we watched the stock market rise during Obama's speech in Virginia; it conversely fell during Palin's. What does this tell us? America's confidence in Obama is rising at an unprecedented rate.
At the same time, this standard applies to Fox's knuckle draggers and nazi skinheads like Glenn Beck. Once his hole opens to speak, americans go out and vote for Obama.
You'd think the Republicans would see the handwriting on the wall??
When O'Reilly, Mr. Loofah and Beck, Mr. Nazi hit the air like a couple of sociopathic psychos, all they do is further damage the republican brand.
Forget the stock market as an indicator.
It's out of control it's no different then a prohibition era dark smoke filled gambling parlor with a bunch of cigar chomping maniacs throwing dice.
L.A.
In some way you are correct.
But the so called stock market follows a pattern.
It does. In some way this reflects life.
So the senior executives of Lehman Brothers , who were bought out by Barclays , show up the board of directors meeting of Barclays.
The AIG senior staff were on a frigging hunting trip as the company collapsed.
Such is the Wall Street Model.
American taxpayers will pay for some of this excess spending, and incompetence , which has has happened before .
Just a hint, but maybe the right wing punditocracy ought to notice that it's the most right wing Republican President EVER who is nationalizing our banking system, and not Hugo Chavez.
The guy is absolutely fucking retarded...
So is anyone that invites him onto their show for his blatherings.
I hate this fucker more than Nancy Grace, which is astounding if you have any idea my hate levels for Nancy Grace.
Never have I seen a person abuse the privilege of free speech more than Glenn Beck. He can say whatever he damn well pleases, but man, there should be nothing stopping someone punching him in the face.
Hear, Hear!
There is no one left in the Republican Party smart enough to know what a Marxist, Socialist, Leninist, Capitalist, Nihilist, etc is. They throw these terms around and have NO idea what they mean. They probably think China is communist just because we call it Communist China. God these people are uneducated and stupid.
It is so thick, with small font, and absolutely no pictures. There is no way anyone in the GOP has even read anything more than the cover from that book.
You've got to admire America as the land of opportunity. Where else can a person so fundamentally ignorant as Beck or Hannity or any other nut get paid millions to display their ignorance on a daily basis.
Honestly, am I the only one who sees the physical resemblance between Cartman and Beck?
John McCain's the one who most reminds me of Cartman: shrewd, vicious, totally self-absorbed...
