bob, you are letting it be known just how long it has been since you watched Beck and that wouldn't be bad but you keep telling me that you watch him, often. I don't remember any kind of Veg-O-Matic advertising being done there and certainly not since the big boycott paid for and supported by Code Pink and others of that stripe.

You need to stop letting the truth sneak about yourself.

Frankly I never take any short snippet, from anyone, as representing the context of a statement. Therefore I will hunt down and watch the complete videos or read the complete statements. Which is why I know Glenn Beck and the Blaze engage in "creative" editing.

Glenn Beck's Jihad against progressives has resulted in me listening to all kinds of wonderful speeches that I normally wouldn't have been aware of.
Progs are progs and you sound too much like one for me. Of course, if you researched as thoroughly as you say you would know that Beck was on TV before MM was created by Soros to get him and his Fox employers off the air.

Spooky Dude is very serious about it all now since Beck has exposed him so thoroughly so many times. I wonder when old George the Socialist leader will take Beck up on his invitation to debate with Beck for one solid hour, of course commercials do take up a large amount of his time. I view Beck on my computer where no commercials are and it only takes about 40 minutes. That boycott of him really nearly took him off the air.

While I find it silly for either side to care one way or another how many stations carry the show, Radio Business Report (Radio & Television Business Report - Voice of the Broadcasting Industry (http://www.rbr.com/radio/index.1.html - broken link)) said the following after the dropping of beck from the Buckley Radio owned stations:

"Remember, he’s still almost 400 affiliates strong, but some question if his “gloom and doom” rhetoric could be causing a bit of fatigue and avoidance with his audience. Beck is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks and RBR-TVBR will watch closely to see if the move by Buckley Radio is a start of a trend."
I think you just told us why Beck took the first 20 minutes of his show Thursday to expose us to that 12 year old boy who is really one of the world's most intelligent people. I really got a kick out of that part of that show and not one word of politics in it. What did Media Matters report about that part? I guess I could look but I don't care at all what they said about that kid.

I seldom listen to him on the radio since all I know of is am stations and I don't get the ones I usually use at the proper times of day. Thank you for letting me on 5 more, 3 of which I can get any time. Great!!!

Your buddy meson swore to me months ago, before he put me on ignore because he couldn't really prove anything about Beck, that he couldn't see Beck because his Canadian server didn't have Beck on. Now I told him where he could see every show with his little computer and then he just backed out and gave up. Do you know where to see Beck any hour of the day on your computer? You don't want to take a chance, do you?
Who am I going to believe, my lying eyes or Roysoldboy?

Let me dispel any doubt you might have, I am a Progressive Social Justice Christian. Which means I rely everyday on the the grace and mercy of God and not on the myth of collective salvation that Glenn Beck is peddling. My salvation is personnel, but by obligation is to the rest of humanity. In Beck's world view, as I'm sure you are aware, this makes be either a Nazi or a Communist.

Matthew 5:11-12
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

You inspired me to look up Media Matters coverage of Glenn Beck. The fist item on Glenn Beck appears to be an article from May 17, 2004; when Beck was doing radio for Clear Channel.

Clear Channel radio host railed against Nick Berg's father, called him a "scumbag" | Media Matters for America

The always classy Glenn Beck said the following about Michael Berg. Michael Berg being the father to Nicholas Berg, who was beheaded in Iraq.

I'm beginning to really dislike this guy. I'm beginning to question, you know, "Can you let your son's body become the same temperature as your son's head before you turn this into a political campaign against the president -- could you do that?"
..
I think he is grieving, but I think he's a scumbag as well. I don't like this guy at all."

I wonder when Glenn Beck will have the courage to meet face to face with one of the people he demonizes on a regular basis. When will Glenn Beck take up Rev. Wallis invitation.

An Invitation to Glenn Beck - Jim Wallis - God's Politics Blog

Now that you’re willing to admit that social justice is more than just a code word, we have a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to sit down together and have an open and public discussion on what social justice really means and how Christians are called to engage in the struggle for justice. Why don’t we do that, on your show, or in some other venue. And let’s make this a civil dialogue and not engage in personal attacks on each other — which is never helpful in trying to sort out what is true. So let’s talk about the heart of the matter. When would you like to get together for this conversation?


But perhaps the following will be the only response Rev. Wallis will ever formally receive from the Classy Glenn Beck.

In Spite of Glenn Beck’s New Threats, My Invitation to Dialogue Stands - Jim Wallis - God's Politics Blog

Beck: So Jim, I just wanted to pass this on to you. In my time I will respond — my time, well, kind of like God’s time, might be a day, might be a week to you, I’m not sure. But I’m going to get to it in my time, not your time. So you go ahead and you continue to do your protest thing, and that’s great. I love it. But just know — the hammer is coming, because little do you know, for eight weeks, we’ve been compiling information on you, your cute little organization, and all the other cute little people that are with you. And when the hammer comes, it’s going to be hammering hard and all through the night, over and over…
