I detest Big Macs and never buy them. Well I never go to McDonalds either.

That is the second time in about 4 posts that I have been called dirtbag in the open. I guess this is your warning that I report the next time you call me a name like that.

For some reason these people think that King's speech that day is very important. This has nothing to do with his birthday. Now all from the right have to select the days when King didn't make a speech to do anything. THEY don't respect King, just the days he gave certain speeches.

I bet a number of these people would go wild if I said that 55 years ago today the Congress declared that the words "In God We Trust" should be put on our coins. Duck, here they come.

Don't be a popinjay! Beck is about reteaching history as it really happened and explains what direction the country is heading? He points out who the bad guys are and states nothing, but facts. I have no clue to why so many liberals want him to shut up. What are afraid of??? if you don't enjoy credible political history then simple don't watch him. I think Beck is great as well as many others do also. Just look at his ratings!

How can you detest Big Macs if you never ate one, they're only sold at McDonalds
and according to your own words you never go there?

Beck is always trying to stir things up. Otherwise, why would he bill his rally as an attempt to 'reclaim' the Civil Rights movement, particularly since there is not word-one on his website about any such thing? And note that he made this ridiculous statement almost two months ago. More than enough time to update the website:

Beck says his 8-28 rally will "reclaim the civil rights movement. ... We were the people that did it in the first place" | Media Matters for America
Are you sure that MM is telling the truth about Beck's website? You haven't been there, but are willing to take the word of MM about anything having to do with Beck. Do you have any idea why MM was created and still being paid for by George Soros?

He lost one third of his viewers in less than a year, what does that tell you?

atizar never watches Beck. All his namecalling comes from MM, HuffPo, and Kos where he gets all his info about Beck. I say this because he has me on ignore but at least he had the guts to tell me about it and all the other progs here who have done that never had that much guts.

I like this guy because you can discuss with him as long as Beck isn't included. It was over Beck that he put me on ignore.

I have been to McDonalds plenty of times in the past. I just stopped going there when my kids grew up and mom and I didn't like that kind of food. In the old days I ate their fish sandwiches because I liked them, but I developed the dislike for Big Macs in the 1960s and never have tried one since then.

Nice try, but I didn't read where I said I never have gone to McDonalds. I guess it was the hot coffee they have that turned me off.

Beck did get up to about 3 million viewers a day or two but recently has been fluctuating between 1.5 million and 2 million from day to day. I guess you dont know what hour of day he is on, do you?
