Where are you getting such info?

The only ones instilling any FEAR that I see.......are the Democrats and THIS administration's AGENDA!
Yes....an AGENDA that many fear..........not Glenn Beck.
He's a big goober and somewhat amusing......nothing to FEAR though.

Maybe it is YOU.....who fears him....just as the White House does.
Nope, I fear very little. Funny you have no fear, because every Beck fan I talk to sounds very apocalyptic. Never positive, always expecting the fall of America right around the corner. He's convinced my Aunt that America is no longer worth saving. My best friend's father is always talking about his fear of the future. He also is a Beck fan. Same goes for some Beck fans on this forum, who tend to be the most spaced out and least sensible folks here.

With encounters like that with Beck fans, what am I supposed to think?

Because there are no extremists who believe Obama represents them, right?

I'd list them but C-D doesn't have that much bandwidth!

It seems that ANYONE not alligned with the Left Wing is considered an "extremist".

Is "extremist" going to become the word that replaces "racist" (which is getting old and worn out)?

Since when is 'racist' worn out? Maybe on the right, but the right never believed in racism in the first place. YOu cant claim something you never supported is losing support because you dont support it. You never did, therefore its not your positioning which determines such.

Not all right wingers are extremists, but the extremist are the loudest and most vocal voices of the right, ever since Obama took office.

To be fair, the left had loud extremist during Bush too, but they were not tossing around racial slurs, asking for violent revolution from the white race, etc.

Read the article here: Glenn Beck - Salon.com
Do you know a lot about how far left or right the ADL leans? I don't think you do.

"Racist" is used so indiscriminately it is getting to be a very tiresome and meaningless word.

You need to go back to junior high and learn good sentence structure. Using a single word i.e. "support", 3x in one sentence befuddles the idea you are trying to convey.

As one of those on here that you mentioned, let me say that somehow I keep believing him when he says the paradigm is turning and we are getting ready to see the changes that he talks about. I guess I just want this nation to come out ahead and when Beck keeps saying that he hopes he is wrong in all the things he sees wrong with our present government I have to go with him and hope that he is wrong but really neither of believes he is.

What is the unemployment number in Michigan, anyway?

Um no, its being used when something is perceived as racist. Claiming its 'tiresome' is merely another way of saying = I have no problem with racism, but I hate to see when someone is accused of it.

By the way, I find it ironic that someone would tell me to go back to jr high then use an emoticon to enhance his point. 1998 called...

or a white million man march on Washington.

So if Beck fans are nationalist then what are Obama fans?

Idiots has already been covered, so what are they? Wanne be commi's?
Good Morning,

Yes friends ..... It's perfectly clear that the extreme "Pride' that so many "White Folks" have in their race is without doubt creating
panic and perhaps a certain degree of jealousy among some of our other races !

"Pride" in ones race is a most desireable and honorable matter for any race in this great nation as long as we remember that first and formost we are "Americans First" !

The White Folks Say it is an extreme honor to be a "White American" and their contributions to the continued survival of this beloved land is absolutely unparalled ! So in my estimation they have every right to be proud !

The "White Folks I know are worthy of the title : Proud White American's !!!

There isn't any logical reason why the above should shock or create a panic in any other race of American's.

Indeed... may we as American's of all races cease with the " Crying and B*&##$@~ about the millions of "White Folks" who are "Proud of their race! Believe me it's OK !

Go out and do something for your country and your race that you can be proud of ..... and you can be have a sense of great pride in your race also !!! It's really not that hard to do !

Think about it ! Thanks / Lamar

Don't you know the left is brain dead hypocites? All the have is their hate, their lies and their propaganda. It probably really confused them when Becks whole audience was blacks who were against hussein obama.
