But do you mock the people who praise and defend everything Obama says?

They want to hear the anti-Beck message because they love BO! His listeners are his bread and butter, so he tells them what they want to hear. Why is this so difficult for you, to understand?
Actually.......thank YOU for this post. It truly shows me how narrowminded, naive, contradictory and blind your beliefs all are!
Sums up you Libs. though
Are any of these problems new. Health care, bad economy, dependence on Saudi oil, out of control wall street corruption. No! so how can a party in power for 6 of eight years and in the white house for 8 say 10 months in that they would be better at solving these things

He is an entertainer for heavens sake, that is all it is, or is meant to be: entertainment. Some take him seriously, some don't.

Should Michael Moore be banned from making movies???

Have you ever heard the 2 words "free and Speech?" Or does that apply to only one side?

There is no "wishing". Glenn Beck is either crazy or he's crazy like a fox meaning that he knows his audience and thus spoonfeeds them their daily dose of hate and fear-mongering. I think that he is a little bit of both right now, but heavier on the latter side (meaning that he knows his audience and what will increase his viewership).

What is scary is the fact that there are viewers who actually believe that he is really crying and viewers who believe the various conspiracy theories he makes up as he goes along. Come on, he throws out different words and then tries to link the relationship between all of them in a very hodge podge way as he squeezes all of them into a neat little box to prove his conspiracy theory du jour. Are people seriously NOT seeing this???

The problem.......IS:
The "plan" proposed by THIS administration to supposedly, "fix" these problems is NOT going to.
Understand?

I votes YES, Beck is nuts, but I am not saying he should be taken off air. I don't care if he is on air or not.

there goes the insults again!! I am so glad you have no vices and have never had a serious problem. At least he admits it and is recovering.

and GregW, I am surprised you would stoop to the name calling: Limpjaw? I rarely agree with you, but I have always respected you for your views and your not stooping to that level..

I'm going to be quite honest here and say that people who are much less unstable than Beck are in mental institutions right now under medical supervision/treatment, trying to get better. Beck, on the other hand, has his own show and the lackeys that watch him support him and defend his insanity. If that's not enough, they claim that Beck is the "sane" one.
You are a specialist in psychiatry, I take it?
YOU.....KNOW who's "nuts" and who isn't........out of professional expertise or from personal experience?
And there may very well be people in mental institutions who ARE less unstable than GB.......but being that our mental health care is what it is......ANYONE could be institutionalized in such a place and for no real reason.
But, this is just conjecture or speculation, right?
Often, the decision is based on what an all-knowing judge believes as necessary.........whether or not, it truly is.
NO credibility with your diagnosis of GB and his "mental state."

It's really funny. People must be wondering, what the hell is that man on?
Oh he just gets sooooo emotional! Poor man want's his country back.LOL
This also has been used before by many, many posters. Keep trying.
