I'm a conservative and a Republican but not a Right Wing zealot. This is why I've been saying that Beck is nothing but detrimental to the conservative movement. He is an idiot. Beck is essentially comparing Tiger to OJ because both are Black and have whites spouses. It's people like Glenn Beck that forced many of our intelligent members to flee to the Democratic party because our party was becoming too fanatical.

Chris Rock is a stand-up comedian. Beck is a political commentator. Beck, Limbaugh and Coulter are fond of saying, "Just kidding" when confronted. Like I said, rationalization and denial. Sorry, it doesn't work.

I'm not a liberal, but nice try. Take your head out of the black-and-white sand. That is, unless the new definition of liberal is "sane and reasonable."

Call me some other names. "Liberal" is so boring.

And Chris Rock talks about politics too. Beck has never been the spokesman of any party despite what your puppet masters tell you. Even in the recent Gallup Poll the "Tea Party" was a fictional option to see where people stand. You and your cohorts are the irrational ones that enjoy partaking in straw-men contest.

I know but you have to admit it is quite funny. They always play the "Yeah I was just joking or kidding around" instead of admitting they were wrong. It's rather comical

So does SNL. Chris Rock and SNL don't claim to be giving serious political commentary. Beck does. Coulter is the worst. When confronted about her "blow up the NYT building" statement, she hid behind the "It was just a joke" excuse.

Oh please, we both know Beck speaks on behalf of the Republican party. These conservative talk show hosts deiberately avoid associating themselves with any particular party because they don't want to be a target of it's downfalls. That way if the Republicans screw up, they can say "See I told you so, the Republicans are terrible and don't represent our voice" It's just a cheap move. And this isn't just Beck. Hannity, O'reilly...they all play this card. Only an idiot would believe Beck is anything but a Republican. That's not to say he agrees with everything the Republicans do but he is not libertarian or an independent.

So Olberman, Maddow and Matthews speak on behalf of the democratic party?

"Ohh please.."

Geez, Beck and Rush are really showing their true colors this week aren't they? Any controversy involving a black man seems to automatically send those two into fits of racial stereotyping.

They have got to realize that this kind of rhetoric is damaging to Republicans and conservatives. It's common sense that Republicans are not going to be able to win elections if they can't attract minority voters. Even though neither are (currently) running for office, their influence on the perception of the Republican party can't be denied.

I can't believe how many conservatives continue to support these guys!
