Today he goes off about "the weak questioning" of SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor? Questioning? I didn't see any questioning. I saw the typical first day of this kind of dog and pony show which consists of home state senators getting their camera time and then the other members of the Judiciary Committe getting to make their (equally inane) statements. Oh, wait, I think I heard a member say, "I've got to pee, does anyone else need a potty break". Maybe that was it.

Watching these azz-hats posturing and preening always make me think of the local newscast any time there is any type of disaster anywhere in the world. They will find some way to connect the dots and figure out how to get some local (who probably was on "Cops" last year getting busted for wife beating) on air for five minutes. The connection is usually so tenuous as to be laughable;

"Well Jim Bob, I was devastated to see that hurricane hit India and injure all them poor starvin darkie kids. My cousin Bubba once read a book about India and he saw them same kind of pictures, and he showed me the book. Also I rented "Slumdog Millionaire" so I dont' know why they're poor."

"Thank you madam Justice. You know I once did my homework in the kitchen, and I went to a fancy Ivy League college (legacy) too. Therefor you and I have a lot in common. Were you a tri-delt?"

See the similarities?

I love Beck. He does not think like a dumb liberal fool.

Sorry that’s well below my pay grade. Besides I have three acres of my own to cut.

It not the fact that I haven't got a clue. My response was meant to say your comment was not worth serious consideration.

We do not shove it down your throats at all, we just do not like the anti American ideals of the left is all.
Hate the US Government? Who ever posted anything like that?
I have never seen it.

No we hate what the current WH and current congress is doing to our country.

Nice spin though.

I pay unskilled workers to cut my lawn, I have to many important things to do to spend time cutting grass!!

Next thing they will tell you that you have to share your 3 acres with those welfare types who wont work and need a place to park their welfare tents.


Remember, they want us with something we have to give it to and or share it with those who have nothing.

Liberals way of a trickle down to bums style of economics.

I am a Republican/Libertarian and I agree that Beck is not the brightest bulb in the lamp of right talking heads/commentators. He can be funny however.

If you want a bright well thought out view from the right, try Brit Hume, Chris Wallace, Charles Krauthammer, or Thomas Sewell.

First off - this thread is about Beck - and he is no Republican

Second - your statement above is blatantly false.

So I'll ask you - Why do Democrats and Liberals lie so much?
