lol it reminds me of why I stopped subscribing to the Politics Forum here on C-D because everyone (if I recall, on both sides) gets soooooooo offended. Everyone is always on attack mode ready to fight.

GB had a hilarious 'whoops' moment - not intentional, just random happenstance and it was funny. I highly doubt anyone saw it and was shocked or offended, it was just an "oops."

NO, NO, NO. They don't want to see Beck's site. They want to take their words about it from Huff Po, MediaMatters, ThinkProgress, DailyKos and other sites like that. Never is it good to suggest that they look at the actual sites because it may be considered as unfair.

It may have been funny to the Young Turk or someone like that but it was so obviously a photo shop job.

Are you a fan of Beck? Well since you aren't you probably never watch him or listen to him. How do you know all these things since these two surmises by me are so true? Ah yes, HuffPo and MediaMatters and their photo shopping abilities.

It makes you wonder why they are so compelled to do this. The inflaming rhetoric from both, left and right, does damage efforts to cooperate. I don't think it is evenly balanced, but it all should be stopped regardless. There is, however, one big problem in trying to get it stopped. Too many people are making too much money, doing it.
Hey, bob, did you watch Beck today while watching all that Fox and you keep saying that you do watch him? Did you hear his tirade against Media Matters for asking Murdoch to fire Beck and to consider getting rid of Fox? Well you can see him do that on the regular site I used to be able to link people to. You know it I am sure.

I can tell that you didn't watch Fox this evening at 5:00 from what you are saying. You don't seem to know that Beck refused to say a word about this one to anybody till today. Now all the MEDIA had a two day head start in blaming him and Fox for that tragedy. Beck coined a new term today, I bet, when he used the Sherrod Brown, was that her last name, as an example of them going wild with all their "reporting" on that story before they had many facts to report. Fox held back and Beck stayed off that one more than 24 hours but the Media had a field day with that one. The new word that may catch hold is Sherrod Browning. Maybe you need to see today's program. You do know all the sites that you can do that on your computer, don't you?

The guy poses for publicity photos when crying. Posing with a gun is positively normal. And yes, the juxtaposition is funny.

I do want to thank you for this post since I didn't see all of Beck today and wanted to see it all so I took the 40 minutes to see it after I saw your post. I now must ask you if you are sure that that picture was ever there or did HuffPo just pull one over on you. It isn't there but we know why that probably is. Anyway I had seen enough of Beck today to know that he wasn't wearing a white shirt and never took his coat off, as he often does. Nope he wore the same light blue, long sleeved shirt the whole show and didn't even loosen his tie. You can check it all out at the website that shows every one of his shows. You know the [url=http://www]. and the rest would be watchglennbeck.com. I seem to have gotten the same load of crap from the forum computer that I often get when I try to get past it. I had to tell you that because I waited till there were a number of posts on this thread to see if it lasted. I am not allowed to post threads like this one so I wondered if it would last from you.

Thanks for putting it on here because while perusing HuffPo I found a reference to the Young Turk and saw him trying very hard to make Beck look bad but in all his word twisting he made himself look worse. I love it when some of the left leaning, poor souls try to do that.

I bet when I get enough posts on this thread talking about Beck which it seems was your title we will find a number, if not all, my posts removed since I am not supposed to talk about him. Maybe the whole post will be removed because of me. Whoops, boom goes your thread.
