Obama IS a racist. Always has been. Now on to Beck, MM had not a damn thing to do with any of it. Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better. I've never heard of a company that fired someone, yet still let's them promote their next adventure on THEIR airwaves and teams up the so-called fired employee with a producer from that same company to start a new network. Have you ever heard of this happening before?

Maddow reminds me of a lesbian version of Bill O'Reilly. A real jackass who gets under your skin by using straw men, ad hominems, and just generally unprofessional behavior. However, they are both relatively harmless.

Beck was not harmless. Old people get confused easily, and he targeted them. He did not deserve to be on television. He had my 85 year old grandma believing that the use of the word "Czar" meant that Obama was trying to turn us into communists. Nevermind that the czars fought the communists.

I don't watch Rachel much anymore. I find her too much of an administration mouthpiece. However, she gets the top ratings at MSNBC, so she's not going anywhere..

Beck lost some 300 sponsors...suggesting MM and the progressive boycotts had nothing to do with Beck's ratings drop and subsequent departure seems to me to be rather naive.

Perhaps you're the one lying to yourself..

Extortion and shakedowns are the ways of the left.

Becks increasingly bizarre assertions and rants alienated his viewers. Why don't you post up his ratings?

The naive one is you. I see you avoided the last part of my post. Have you ever heard of a company doing those things for a FIRED employee?

The only people he alienated are the Lefties who were watching.
