If you heard anything about ACORN before Beck, it wasn't negative.
It was extremely negative. Where were you last year this time?
McCain and Palin were attacking ACORN with full fury last year. Not a day went by without them parroting the "massive voter registration fraud" song. FBI even looked into it, but found nothing. And yes, it was in every media outlet since it was indeed a campaign year and everything was on TV. So, Beck exaggerates the news about him 'exposing' ACORN. In fact he had absolutely nothing to do with it.
But there are also little known facts which have been omitted by Beck and Mccain, such as the fact that McCain attended ACORN rallys himself in 2006.
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???
He is hired by MSNBC so why would he go after a colleague? I never see O'reilly or Hannity go after Beck. And if Beck isn't a Republican like you say why wouldn't they go after him? Likewise, I don't see the anchors on CNN attack Lou Dobbs who has differing views from them.
Scarborough shares many of the same views as Republicans. He is just not as inflammatory as some of them. Scarborough's show is on from 3 AM to 6AM in the west aka "no one is watching" I don't think that's a coincidence why a conservative show on MSNBC is on during unwatchable hours. MSNBC wants his show as a token gesture to appear balanced but they deliberately put him at a time spot in which no can watch him unless they are awake between 3AM and 6AM in the west.
Scarborough is 100% right. The Republicans need to stop aligning themselves with these extremists like Beck. This is why many Republicans left for the Democratic party who are otherwise known as Reagan Democrats. Our party needs to get back to its basics when it was about less government, lower taxes and individual responsibility. It was never about rigt wing extremism. Our part will become more successul and come to power if we abandon the extremists like Beck who do nothing but make us look bad. Again, I'm a strong supporter of O'reilly, Hannity and Rush but Beck is an embarrassment to the conservative movement.
And why do people like you credit Beck with attacking ACORN and Van Jones. Beck was not the first person to cover these issues. Truth be told, the first person to really attack ACORN was Lou Dobbs. Nonetheless, all the other Fox anchors and Lou Dobbs were covering these issues. Just because you like Beck, don't try to make him some pioneer, that's not why he is popular. Beck is only popular beause of his antics and delivery

Oh for the love of God...Did you ever consider that maybe he can't attack Olbermann because they're on the same network!!!
If you spent more than five minutes watching Scarborough you'd know that he's more conservative than the neocon morons that dominate the right wing media these days. And that you wouldn't know a conservative if one smacked you upside the head.
The guy's a refreshing reminder that you don't have to be an insane fascist bigot to be a conservative.

So what if they are on the same network!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S MY POINT! Joe ain't gonna buck the system that pays his bills! If JoeScar was reeeeally concerned about hatred spewing out over the air, he shouldn't pick and choose!! HE SHOULD CALL THEM ALL OUT! BUT HE DOESN'T!!!!!!

The ate spewers on his network are exempt!!!!!!
Actually he has spoken against commentators on both sides but hadn't mentioned any by name. But viewers can be sure he would include Olbermann in that group. Still you can't say he's a RINO.
Thanks for the thumbs up by the way. My last post was totally right on, wasn't it?

Does Glenn Beck call out O'reilly and Hannity? They are Republicans. Beck claims he isn't a Republican and disagrees with Republicans. Why are you holding Glen Beck to a different standard. This is a double standard
As they should be!! endorsing Child prostitution, voter registration fraud, tax evasion, embezellment ..........ALL DONE ON THE TAX PAYER DIME?
OBAMA GIVING THEM $ 888,000 DOLLARS during his campaign??????
The question is ...."Why aren't the Dems whipping on them too? Surely they think this stuff is bad,too. Right??
Well definitely employees working anywhere doing stuff like this should be fired but I don't know if this type of thing is organization-wide with ACORN.
