And you want us to tke this guy serious?
When you don't have a real argument, feebly attack the source. Do you have any comments on the actual video? Does Glenn Beck NOT complain about someone making a Nazi comparison when he himself CONSTANTLY makes allusions to the Nazi regime?

Nazi Tourettes! Lewis Black has always been a favorite and that clip just shows what years of being a drunk does to someone's mind like Beck!Is he looking for "brown shirts" under his bed when he goes to sleep? Boo!

What it is that Lewis Black points out about Beck is that Beck has Godwin's Syndrome, i.e., always making analogies to Hitler or the Nazi's. It's a cheap device used by people like Beck to scare the gullible. Read about it here.

I don't know what is is about Beck and his obsession with Goose-Stepping or is it a recurring dream about someone Goosing him. Brown shirts? Could be another Republican code word for I want to be your biatch.

Of course...Lewis graduated with a masters from Yale University. Where did Beck get his?

Typical elitism of the left.

Lewis is great, and he was right on about Beck. Just go hide in your attic for three years, and we'll tell you when to come out, too funny!

You do realize that the only reason that was even brought up is because someone tried to dismiss Black because he was a comedian, so it was pointed out that he is well educated.

Going to Yale doesn't make him well educated. Didn't Bush go there? Also he is a comedian, it certainly goes to his credibility.
