Glenn Beck

[Songbird]

It'll be on again at midnight, I believe. But it's disturbing, a report on extremist Islam. On CNN Headline News. Worth a viewing.

 

[Lamar Mundane]

They all want to kill us. We need to kill them. Islam is a violent religion. Christians use love to spread the gospel.

 

[pallister]

Xan, pointing out the reality of radical Islam makes you a bigot. You know that, right?

Anyone who tries to make a legitimate comparison between the threat of radical Islam and Christianity is a fool. In SportsJournalists.com parlance, apples and oranges.

 

[Songbird]

I'm not asserting an opinion on the matter. I just think it's worth watching. I'm not a bigot. Everyone is equal.

Glenn Beck=waste of bandwidth.

Remember when Headline News actually recapped the day's events? I miss that. Instead, they're now serving up a buffet of Hateful Harpy, Mostly Anonymous Doofushead and Hollywood Irrelevance.

 

[pallister]

Just throwing out a little sarcasm there, Xan.

 

[Songbird]

i thought so, buddy. but around here you have to declare yourself or get grilled.

Couldn't agree more.

I was driving from Syracuse to the in-laws yesterday, so I ended up listening to him for about 30 minutes.
He says he's the 3rd-most listened to show in America (I assume Limbaugh is #1, not sure who #2 would be).
All I could say after 30 minutes is, yes, America is that stupid.

Yes, because as we in the newspaper business have been told a million times on this site alone, there aren't dozens of other TV, radio and Web outlets where you can find out what's happening in the world. It's just CNN's way of keeping the man down.

Perhaps if we had more Glen Becks, Americans would wake up to the fact we have are in the middle of a war of terror. Mr. Beck is a courageous man who surely would send his own son to fight the islamofacists. Heck, I bet when Bush 43 expands our military he'll be one of the first to sign up for active duty. Semper Fi.

Get with the program folks. The war of terror is being financed by our grandchildren. I'm sure one day our generation will sit around the campfire on lake Michigan laughing with the ungrateful generation remembering our tax cuts while we went to war not with the military we wanted but the one we had.

Thank you Bush 43 for bucking history and delivering me an extra $500 in tax cuts. I view it as my own personal sacrifice. Our military is made up of the brightest and best. Did they complain that they were sent into battle without proper body or vehicle armor? hell no, they scavenged scrapyards and welded on armor they needed.

Gotta set the TIVO now for Mr. Beck's report. The only question now is when will Mr. Bush expand the War of Terror into Iran?

There are dozens of outlets where we can get talk-radio pablum.

But there used to be only one that recapped the current national and world news every half-hour on the half-hour quickly and neatly --- don't have to sit in front of the computer, don't have to jump through hoops --- until some idiot in the ATL forgot HN's raison d'etre and started hiring pathetitards.

Some fine sarcasm, Jimmy. Good to see some creative complaining around here.

 

[Fubar]

Politics aside. That's some ****ed up **** right there.

TV footage of various bearded fellows talking trash about Jews and America wasn't surprising. Kids yelling passionately about becoming martyrs made me blink a lot while I shook my head rapidly. The GI Joe-esque cartoon about being a suicide bomber was nutso. It just seemed like a parody. Man alive.

Even if this stuff was put together by some guy living in his parents' basement somewhere outside of Denver, I'd still say that was some ****ed up **** right there. I don't care if it was presented by Glenn Beck, Martin Short or it's posted all over craigslist... I'm still amazed by the extreme passion folks have and the lengths they'll go to in an attempt to get others to hang out on their team.

It's one thing to posture for a crappy politician. It's something entirely different to talk your kids into blowing themselves up by promising them the world after they do so. Goofs.

No, but Glenn Beck's a pretty big idiot for the question he asked Rep.-Elect Ellison a few weeks back.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

On the list of talk show hosts who are brain dead imbeciles with nothing good to say, Beck isn't near the top of the list.

I don't agree with everything he says, but he isn't that bad. Heck sometimes he's pretty funny and dead on. Definitely not always. But sometimes. The question he gave to Ellison a few weeks ago was ridiculously stupid and worthless.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Michael Savage scares me much more than Glenn Beck.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

Michael Savage scares me much more than Glenn Beck.

He doesn't really scare me. I just wish he'd stop trying to say he has a PhD.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Michael Weiner Savage is proof that grad school is meaningless.
