That is the simple point that's being made. But you just need a little more thinkin' to bring it all the way home.

"Does Obama really want to kill Grandma?"

"Does Obama really want to create internment/re-education camps?"

"Is Obama really a terrorist?"

The right (and Beck in particular) has been doing this crap for years.

Now do you get what that parody site is telling you?

I hope there are many more examples like this. Americans need to start utilizing critical thinking skills, and not just accept everything they are told.

Absolutely brilliant!

I understood completely.
You just don't like it when the same tactics are used on you.
When they are, you cry, nay sob at the horror.

It's a double standard.
You're already doing it to Obama.

The title is so stupid....

"Glenn Beck Didn't Rape And Murder Anyone... But He Doesn't Want Websites Discussing It"


If I didn't rape or murder anyone I would think I'd feel the same way..

Dont you think it's hypocritical of Glenn? He's been "asking bold questions" and spreading innuendo about Obama all this time. Now someone turned the tables -- with humor -- and look how he responds.

He can dish it out but he can't take it

um, no, that means the website owner simply moved to another web hosting company.. The fact that you fail to understand that individuals can move their site in 5 minutes proves you know what your talking about even less...

There are thousands upon thousands of hosts out there and if the owner of the site felt so stronly about it, he'd self host it..

The fact that liberals see humor in this, is pretty pathetic

And secondly, Beck does not spread "lies and misinformation". Everything he reports has been the result of painstaking investigation on the part of a lot of people, not all of whom are part of his staff. People like Michelle Malkin, and others like her, doing the work the MSM will not do.

Nothing Glenn reported about Van Jones was a lie (so it wasn't a smear). And what he has been turning up about ACORN and the people behind that organization isn't a lie either.

It's too bad the MSM will not do this work anymore. No wonder no one watches the other networks or reads the New York Times (or the other "news" papers that are losing subscribers daily".

The New York Times never reported anything about Jones until 3 days after he had "resigned".
