So we established that democrats and republicans play on fear. Wow. Politicians have been doing that for a few thousand years.

Nothing new here.

He doesn't even know who you are. Nor does he care. I think you ought to check your ego at the door.

Once again, why was no one bothered by Beck when he was speaking out against George Bush and the republicans on CNN a few years ago? He wasn't "dangerous" or a "moron" then. Nor were his viewers "sheeple" or "cultish".

The hypocrisy of the left is so transparent. It's sad. And moronic.

Buh-Bye.
meson doesn't watch Beck. He says his satellite doesn't provide Fox but somehow he knows so much about both entities. He refuses to watch Beck on the computer which anyone can do if they have the internet and if they are on this forum they have internet and a computer.

I think he checks Media Matters daily to determine what they are saying about Beck and Fox, but maybe it is only every other day.

He probably lost money in Pittsburgh.

P.S. I think Beck made $35 million last year. I doubt he went to all this trouble to make 22 grand.
The "town hall" was just the TV set...The show was widely distributed to other theaters etc...Do you actually think this was done for free? By the way, you suck at math.

Attempting to teach you things like Capitalism is "The government protect[ing] your right to life, liberty so you can pursue your happiness."

And from the same show "We are being taught to turn on each other. Its them that did it to us." I know he wasn't including himself in that statement, but it is exactly what he is doing.

That is exactly what everybody is doing, if you doubt it just look at this thread. And by the way Beck says this is the program of the current administration.

Are you a broadcaster in the same time slot?
GB is not my enemy, I don't know him, nor do I watch his "show".

I am the enemy of people like GB.

I do watch his show as i find him entertaining although we dont agree on much. i do find it interesting that those that seem to not like the guy dont watch his show
I do remember his shtick being a lot more balanced between slamming the left and right before Obama came to the game, now he just slams the left and thinks all Dems are Nazis. i'm curious to see where his shows content goes when the next president gets installed, is he really just a maniacal rightwing talking head or is he just pandering to the political minority and will slam any government in power.Sooner or later i guess we'll find out..
