Don't like it? Then take it up with Glenn Beck. I've not seen anyone on this thread demonize the Norwegian children of this massacre. All i've seen are those of us who find political summer camps for youth in support of a specific political party a bit odd compared to the free-thought principles that most American's embrace.

Anyone that agrees with Glenn Beck's comments is demonizing those kids. Spin it anyway you want.

I think we just need to think of Glenn Beck as a mentally disturbed individual. It's no wonder Fox News dumped him.

ObamAnation fear mongers and lies everyday. To say our debt will not be paid after august 3rd is a lie and a scare tactic. Just like the social security lie he has been spreading along with his balanced approach. This guy didn't even propose a plan for the debt ceiling. He lacks the business experience to do so. He is a one term senator that has never balanced a budget or even owned his own business.

Shovel ready tho

Fox news did not dump him.

He was doing his last show live and spoke about his future and his site.

He had higher ratings than any news show on any network. He crushed MSNBC liberal zombies souls

I'm a member of the New Zealand Labour party and it is a pity Beck did not do his home work on the Norwegian Labour party.

Hitler youth ? well I'm a Vietnam vet so one could argue that the training I received in our army would be useful in being a Labour party member.

But I have never come across any situations where my training in the military has any use in our politics .

You people defending Beck here are wrong. Beck was wrong to say the bizarre thing he said. It was an utterly stupid and callous thing for him to say.
