Thank God that SOMEBODY is doing the job that Beck (and other conservatives) are doing, because the MSM won't. They are receiving their instructions and "talking points" directly from the White House.

But it's funny that if Beck was a "lefty" and doing what he is doing today, you people would be all for him, would you not? It is because he disagrees with you that you so despise him.

Okay.. I get it.. and where are your "talking points" coming from? "Netroots? "Daily Kos"? Yeah...you've been busted.

His ratings are breaking all records, because people find what he has to say is important and useful. They are concerned (as Beck is) with what they see happening to their country, which is being destroyed by the Obama administration and his cadre of thugs (radical leftists).

Beck has unraveled the web, and exposed these radicals and how they are all linked.

Thank God for Beck, and those who have contributed to this effort, either for Beck or individually.

Proof please. Can you name one instance where Glenn Beck actually lied (not just in your opinion).

Way to keep up the good work from Alinsky's handbook:

RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

If Faux fires him, do you think he'll go to radio?

what was with that whinefest the other night? He sounded drunk.

The more negative posts I see from you progressives, the more I know that Beck is irritating the hell out of you... Good for Beck.

Are you a fan of Saul Alinsky? Many right wingers have lately been reading Rules for Radicals. (Reading it, not living it, as he did.)

He also holds the record for "Most Advertisers Bailing On A Talking Head", if I'm not mistaken.

I wonder if he gets a trophy or a plaque or something for that?

Ahhhhh he is already on radio, and has been for many years.

And I doubt Fox would fire the third highest rated show in the country (at least his radio show is #3, and I wouldn't be surprised if he surpasses Sean Hannity (#2) soon.

He is breaking all records on Fox.

Get a life. If he was a "joke" as you people seem to think, he wouldn't be getting these ratings. No leftist ever has. Hmmmmm Wonder why?
