Did Glenn Beck refer to Warren Buffett (whose Berkshire Hathaway company owns GEICO) as a socialist?

Yea why don't all you right wing scholars give us a lesson about the COTUS, I'd love to hear it. While you're at it be sure to enlighten us with expertise in document verification, in particular long forms.

Didn't Progressive do the same thing? Insurance companies are traditionally very conservative. This is telling.

How does refusing to help pay the bills to have false and/or malicious speech broadcast nationwide to the detriment of everyone who hears it constitute any infringement on anyone's right to free speech at all?

How is it suppression? How is Glenn Beck being prevented from speaking his mind on his own show? He's still free to say whatever he pleases. His advertisers are equally free to choose not to support his program with their advertising dollars.

Why is it that Glenn Beck is entitled to his free speech, but GEICO isn't?
