Glenn Beck has never bunked anything. He uses his chalk board to "prove" things by taking the first letter of random words that he has written down. What is he, the human Ouija board?

I'm sorry.
I must've imagined the guest that he had on that had reported from several of the supposed FEMA camps, only to show that they were nothing more than abandoned plants, warehouse, and such.
Speaking of Ouija.... Have you watched every episode? Much less one entire show?
How can you divine that he didn't air the de-bunking?

Just a snippit for ya

MEIGS: But sometimes if you just knock on the door and ask to be let inside, they are happy to let you in and show you around. That's exactly what we did. It's an ordinary Amtrak facility. What's particularly interesting, that video is almost 15 years old and

GLENN: This has actually come out during the Clinton administration, right?

MEIGS: That's exactly right. And what we see often is that nothing really goes away on the Internet and something can be debunked, disproven or just be totally out of date and yet someone will pull it up, they will reedit it, they will put it into new context and someone will come along and see it. And these things often look very credible. They look like they are produced by news organizations or, you know, if you go to these websites, they have lots of facts and figures and maps and things that look very legitimate and so it takes a little bit of effort sometimes to dig down and say, okay, what is the source of that and in some cases you need to go pick up the phone and go visit a facility and see for yourself and see that the reality's really not as scary as it it's being portrayed.

GLENN: They had scary gates, we'll show you the deal. They had prison bars and these turnstiles that were leading right into what they claimed were gas chambers.

MEIGS: Yes, actually those turnstiles aren't there anymore but that was a, it was a work facility and that was there. They had some kind of magnetic pass cars or something like that to let people around.

So far awesome.

I am liking Beck more and more all the time.

The man is onto something.

Common Sense, get it and read it. You might be amazed.

And pick up Dick Morris new book also.

DickMorris.com

In our new book, Catastrophe, we spell out clearly how Obama has disarmed us in the war on terror and excoriate him for giving Hamas almost $1 billion in foreign aid funneled through the United Nations relief agency in Gaza that takes orders from Hamas.
Sunny-Days90 !!! ... The Book Is A Great Read & Then Some !!!!!

The Patriotic American will most appreciate the great history lessons within it's pages.

Thanks / Lamar

That doesn't make sense in multiple ways.

Of all the things you wuld ask a potential governor of a state,,,he asks if she is a Truther. Who the hell cares? The only reason he did it was to discredit her to prop up Perry. But Sarah Palin is a REAL TRUTHER, who also supports Perry, and who Glenn supports.

Freakin Hypocrite. I used to think he was on to something, but now the truth has come to light.

Say what you mean, mean what you say. Please. What an a-hole.

But let me break it down for you:
You mentioned the Ouija.
You made a blanket statement about a program you obviously do not watch.
I'll repeat the question:
How can you divine (see: Ouija) that he didn't air a debunking episode?

For your sake, I'll quote both of us and go slow, to meet you.

What's that!? Your first sentence talks about debunking and so does mine! But you said I ignored it and that I highlighted the other part! What's happening!?

I never said he didn't air a "de-bunking" episode. I said that he never de-bunked anything.

How about you actually read the whopping 34 words I typed, before you go and say something like this.
