Did you even read the article before you ran off at the mouth?
Umm yea, even if you dont believe Beck represents extremists, it seems extremists beleive Beck represents them.
If you are a democrat its the BEST NEWS EVER, because the opposition party is being led by extremist, and you can win every election NOT in a more solid-Red district by highlighting this.
If you are a Republican, you are probably either in the same boat with these nuts or jumping ship to the libertarian front. (Beware, many of the nuts/ex Bushies are jumping ship with you).
Yep.
Read it.
So what?
Even if you don't believe Obama represents extremists......it seems that many extremists believe he does.
It's been a busy week for Glenn Beck watchers. On Monday, the Anti-Defamation League released a report warning of the paranoia and stridency that increasingly define the conservative grass roots. It echoed an April report issued by the Department of Homeland Security, but unlike the DHS report, the ADL named names, and fingered Beck as the figure most responsible for the unhinging of the right. "Beck has acted as a 'fearmonger-in-chief,' raising anxiety about and distrust towards the government [which] if it continues to grow in intensity and scope, may result in an increase in anti-government extremists and the potential for a rise of violent anti-government acts," the ADL wrote.
Lies by omission are still lies. Your article fails to mention that Beck has had communist, socialist, economist, politicians, historians, ambassadors.. etc. along with "white nationalist". He also makes no qualms that the show is an opinion based program and vehemently espouses for anyone to disprove him. He regularly picks up a phone that is dedicated line that only the white house has the number to if they wish to dispute any of the claims he makes. So far I have yet to see anyone that opposes him do so to his face on his show with any merit. I admit he gets a little loony but it's no worse than Olberman, Maddow and Matthews. It's disingenuous to be so appalled at all sides being presented but only using the ones you don't agree with to "prove" a point. That would be like saying because Geraldo, back in the day, had KKK members on his show he must be a member or because Springer has trash on his show that he must be a hick or barefoot and pregnant 13 year old. You people are too easily worked up. If you think he instills fear by reading someone elses article then watch the show, and more than one, and see if you think that for yourself. If you don't like the show use your clicker. It's amazing how they missed all his rants on G.W. Bush but managed to watch all the ones, and only the ones, that speak of Obama...
So its spreading fear to tell people information on illegals in this country? The liberals think any information not cleared by the party is fear mongering? Typical sociaist thinking.
Beck is good for Democrats, Independents are distancing themselves from him like crazy....
Possibly. But, they sure ain't gonna associate with some wingnut that compares their granny to a Stormfront trooper.
