"What Fox News is now programming on a daily (unhinged) basis is unprecedented in the history of American television, especially in the form of Beck's program. Night after night, week after week, Beck rails against the president while denouncing him or his actions, alternately, as Marxist, socialist, or fascist. He felt entirely comfortable pondering whether the federal government, under the auspices of FEMA, was building concentration camps to round up Americans in order to institute totalitarian rule. (It wasn't until this week that Beck was finally able to "debunk" the FEMA conspiracy theory.) And that's when Beck wasn't gaming out bloody scenarios for the coming civil war against Obama-led tyranny. In just a few shorts months, Beck raced to the head of Fox News' militia media movement."

I actually read the article, xpat, unlike the Bobbsey Twins of rapid-fire
meaningless posts who clearly didn't bother to read either your article link or mine. It is a good article, and very much in keeping with other C-D discussions about sedition and armed insurrection and the traitors who are
encouraging same. Some posters do no more than attack without reading or even making a pretense of intellectual honesty.

I don't read tabloid news. I don't go to newsbusters for news, and I certainly wouldn't go to something like media matters. they are moronic.

That article is a little over the top, but I agree with the underlying premise:

Beck is a total fruit loop.

The beauty of the USA should also include personal responsibility in speech and actions.

The anything goes mentality leads us to a nation that watches reality shows where the stars are whores that curse at each other, and make a bundle doing it.

You believe Media Matters?

"Night after night, week after week, Beck rails against the president while denouncing him or his actions, alternately, as Marxist, socialist, or fascist"?

I can tell you flatly this is not true. I listen to Glenn Beck nightly. He does no such thing.

"Night after night He felt entirely comfortable pondering whether the federal government, under the auspices of FEMA, was building concentration camps to round up Americans in order to institute totalitarian rule."? Again, not true. In fact, what Glenn Beck did was to debunk this rumor.

Obviously, you do not know what you are talking about; and, neither does Media Matters. Obviously, you do not watch the show.

But, then, this isn't the first time that Media Matters has been caught in a lie.
