Sure I complain about Obama and his polices. I just don't go around saying that Obama is a crackhead, drunkard and needs to be in a mentally ill hospital.

Let's agree to leave those kind of comments on the playground, OK?

That's Right Beck has a Constitutional Right to be Stupid. Perhaps a warning label would be nice for people who think it's for real

Saying Beck is nuts, is that your medical opinion?

What exactly is your agenda here? First you start a thread asking everyone if Beck is nuts. Then you go back and forth with your posts, then finally you answer the question for yourself.

Why even ask it? Is it only to rile the people who watch the show?

My magical 8 ball says: Definitely Yes.

BTW, if you read the poll YOU started, so far its a 2 to 1 majority that Beck is NOT nuts....yet you still say he is.

can't rep you, but of course I have been saying the same: name calling, is at the level of about a third grader, so when I see this, I know the mentality of the person who says it...

Well then, you must be equally disgusted by the people who are calling the Preident a nazi, usurper, communist, boy, village idiot, and so forth, which would mean, that those who are doing it equally have a 3rd. grade education, correct?

And, let me add this: Beck himself called President Obama a racist, do you now agree with that statement?

It's pretty obvious from nmita's post that she is above the playground name calling...you quoted what she said in your own post!

Wasn't sure how to interpret the question. The title thread asked, "Should Glen Beck be taken off the air?" While the poll asked, "Is Glen Beck nuts?".

I answered no, because I don't think he should be "taken" off of the air. I don't believe in any form of censorship whatsoever. That is a line of reasoning that only a tyrant could embrace.

Let's be clear - it is merely your OPINION that Beck is "stupid". There are millions that would disagree with your opinion - with an opinion of their own - that he is brilliant and honest.

What makes YOUR opinion correct and their opinion wrong?

I don't like the guy, and I don't agree with much he says. But if there is one thing I cannot stand, it's censorship. Taking him off the air would be a huge blow to those of all political leanings that support free speech.
