Glen Beck's bank account is entirely dependent on his daily rants feeding the paranoia/anger/fear of his unhappy audience. Beyond that perspective, he's irrelevant.

I kind of look at it this way. The more money he sucks out of the RW nuts, the less they would have to promote nutty Candidates. So, when I talk to a Beck or Palin nut, I enthusiastically reaffirm their idiocy. It's not like I would be able to change their mind, but I may be able to help prevent them from infecting others. It's my Civic Duty.

It's not your civic duty to regulate speech. I know you think it is, but it isn't.
Considering that floridabob is not the state, how exactly is he regulating speech, instead of just expressing his own opinion?
Just like you?
Read the post. Why must you come to the aid of your Progressive bretheren like you do. I wasn't addressing you and you have no idea what I was even responding to.

I too, would like to know how it is you feel that a private individual is regulating speech by discussing politics with those who may hold opposing viewpoints.

If that's true it's only because you didn't make yourself clear.
Yes..you are right..all of Beck's radio listeners have switched over to Air America....oh I'm sorry..didn't they go bankrupt?????? didn't mean to bring up a sore subject...

Why must you make everything into some kind of Red Scare conspiracy?
You have a misunderstanding of what free speech means. Yes, I did read the post. I scrolled up. It wasn't difficult.
Based on your posts, I really have no idea what a "progressive" is in your mind. Anyone left of Ann Coulter?
Anyone that understands that only the state can "regulate" speech?
