Well Joe Scarborough, even being a former Congressman, isn't as low rent as Beck. Now if he would just march down the hall and stuff a sock in Olberman's pie hole...

Actually if what you say is true, it makes them even worse people because they're not even acting out of any principle, just money.

And yes, Hannity is a dumb [annoying] little squirt.
I think Beck has always been a conservative, that's not the issue. But it's one thing to be a conservative and another thing entirely to make outlandish statements like "Obama hates all white people" I'm sorry but I don't think Beck is truly that naive to believe that. He is clearly laughing his way to the bank and realizing there is money to be made through hate politics. Beck might not be educated but he is not an idiot. He has been working in this industry since the 80's and was clever enough to realize that he had to separate himself from O'reilly, Hannity and Rush otherwise he would probably lose his job if he is another clone. So he decided to distinguish himself through these hate politics. His purpose is get viewers on both sides. He wants the liberals to call him an idiot and he wants the far right to idolize him. He gets both audiences. His act is so contrived that it bothers me when people praise OR criticize him. I don't think he is sincere at all. He is just another Howard Stern type of super star that will receive a lot of mass appeal because he will attract the haters and supporters alike. Beck is going after Howard Stern type of money and looking to supplant O'reilly.

Questioning the administration is not hatred.
Let's follow the bouncing ball!!
No spin, No deflection!!

The issue IS NOT ACORN or CZARS or OBAMA!!

Stick to the topic!!

I beg to differ.

Not only can he, he actually does. And frequently, too.

Wow........

Let's not forget that there's a "reason" Joe has a show on the Obama network.

If left up to Joe, we would know nothing about ACORN or Van Jones.
Even afterwards, Joe says little about it.

Scarbourough doesn't want to lose his gig!!! He really is a RINO.

If anyone has listened to Beck for 2 minutes, you'd know he's not a republican anyway. He thinks they're corrupt too!

And Joe would rather that conservatives sell out their values and become more liberal. That abortion thing? That gay marriage thing? Throw it out!


Republicans are not "conservatives"!


That's why no one's watching MSNBC. The folks have caught on.

Funny how he never goes after Olbermann???

Are you sure? Because we've been hearing about ACORN for over a year now, and as I understand Beck didn't go on air with FOX until February this year.

I remember FBI investigating ACORN last year and it was all over the media.

It seems like ACORN is the whipping boy for the Republicans.
