Is there any doubt the Obama is a "mobster"? Look what he does.

Sorry. You lose.

I'm sorry, I just can't take seriously anything said by someone who equates serving on committees with people to "hanging out with them." I "hang out" with Republicans and I can definately assure you that it has not made me a Republican. I am a born again Christian but I also have friends who are atheist and I can assure you that it does not make me an atheist. I have even known a few Socialists and a Communist but that did not make me either one of those things. We had a very terrible senator from Wisconsin named McCarthy who tried that old "guilt by association" thing back in the day and it darn near destroyed this country. Not going down that road again.

As for looking at what Obama does that makes him a "mobster" I can't think of a single thing that would illustrate that point. Sorry, you lose.

Beck is absolutely inciting violence. He used the word "whacked" about 30 times. He's getting more and more theatrical by the day, these are just performances. No journalism here folks.

whack (hwk, wk)
v. whacked, whack·ing, whacks
v.tr. 1. To strike (someone or something) with a sharp blow; slap.
2. Slang To kill deliberately; murder.

In some states this kind of aggressive behavior can get you brought up on assault charges or allow you defend yourself physically from such aggression...

It's fair to say that if Beck is inciting violence that he isn't the only one.

Probably would have been funny if it were original.

This photo is wrong, his nose has grown from lying since this was made.

Wow, lack of context can be fun.
You really have been paying close attention to Beck, haven't you?

Your "feeling"? You mean, you do not have a well thougt out opinion. All you have is a "feeling". Typical liberal.

Yes, Beck uses comedy (sometimes). But he is also dead serious in his opinion, and he has done the research. He is probably more qualified than many others in the "opinion" department.

No, we do not "worship him" (like Obama supporters worship Obama) But, I do believe that he has done the hard work (research) and presents the truth about Obama and his administration (as do a few others). Obama has been exposed for who he is. He is a sicko (among other things). Can we say Commie? Yes. Socialist? Yes. Marxist? Yes.

Why? What do you think is so "crazy"? Are you refusing to acknowledge that many in America are getting tired of our Constitution being ignored?

Are you suggesting that we could not have another "Civil War"? Or, another period not unlike the Civil Rights era?

Are you suggesting that there could not be another violent period in our nations history - and that that period may be sooner rather than later?

1.I'm not a liberal. I like O'reilly and Hannity. Beck is just a clown

2."Feeling' was a figure of speech.

3.I can provide several examples of his idiocy including his labeling the President a racist considering his mother is White and he was raised EXCLUSIVELY by his mother and white grandparents

4. What hard work has he provided other than covering topics that have already reached the media

5. He didn't oust Van Jones. His past quotes were uncovered by the public to which Beck and other conservative journalists covered it

6. He did not uncover ACORN. ACORN has been criticized by conservatives for a long time. Lou Dobbs interviewed the President of ACORN and exposed her organization's inconsistencies on his show before Glenn Beck was on FOX

The OP is obsessed with Beck because Beck has beat Obama up a couple times with ease.

The OP is NOT an American citizen, rather a far left wing democrat from Canada who believes in socialism and the government paying for everything you need.

Beck many times over and over again tells people to be loud and use your constitutional rights to speak up, BUT, be civil and in control.

He says this over and over.

So, stop the lies, you games wont work, it only makes Beck more popular.

Right now, he is the TOP DOG on TV and the left wing kooks will have to accept it.

Meson, your Canadian government went to the left a while back and now the people want to move back to the center right. They found out that liberalism and bigger government DOES NOT WORK.

So why do you live in Canada but follow American politics so much?

To be fair to the Beck supporters, I watched his show for the first time in over a month and it was significantly better. There was less childish name calling and sarcasm and more interviews and serious discussion. Maybe Beck listened to his critics and toned it down. Anyone who watched Beck on CNN knows he is a totally different host on Fox than he was on CNN. Likewise, I think he has toned it down a bit in the last month
