Lewis Black stating the obvious. Beck and Limbaugh are an embarrassment to this nation and if I was on the right I would associate myself as far from them as possible.

I would say Beck and Black are an embarassment to the nation. Limbaugh is a mainstream political pundit. Those who hate him either never listened to him or are frustrated that there is not counter balance on their side.

I would strongly disagree. Limbaugh has been wrong so many times. I have family members that listen to him and have heard his rhetoric. The guy has the easiest job in the world: pick up the morning paper and start bashing the democrats. Funny how all these right leaning talk show hosts disappeared during the bush era. Limbaugh has received more press this last year than he had those 8 years in during Bush. Where was the guy during the time republicans were in power. Kind of hard to bash the government when the party you back is running the show.
Remember when he got caught for popping pills? Yet, if you read his books he doesn't seem to say kind things about drug addicts. What type of individual are you if you can't even live up to the moral standards you set for others.
I agree with him on lower taxes and less government but other then that there isn't much to the guy. He is a political shock jock. The majority of his listeners are half asleep at the wheel when he is speaking in the early morning. He supported the Iraq and Afghanistan war even though both have been huge failures and oh not to the mention the amount of government spending that has gone with them at well.
The man is a hypocrite and I for one don't like to start my precious morning listening to one.
What are you talking about? I find it ironic that all supporters of the left seem to never know the truth or see anything that everyone else does. The entire point of Lewis' diatribe is entrenched in exactly what I said. If you guys want to talk about someone using Nazi rhetoric, but when it is the groups you align with it is perfectly fine and nobody says a word. Where was Nancy Pelosi with her crying act this time? Where was your upheaval about those signs being hoisted at the pro-illegal rallies?
Again, you miss the entire point. I don't get upset when people attack their opponents with Nazi imagery, the point is that you can't do it and then call foul when others do it. Beck can make all the wild assertions he wants, but to then play the offended victim is hilarious and ridiculous.
Lewis is pointing out the hypocrisy in Beck complaining about someone making reference to Nazi Germany when he himself does it CONSTANTLY. I think people should be allowed to invoke Godwin's law whenever they want, since it makes them look foolish. But if you do it, don't call out someone else for doing it. It's not difficult to figure out. I'm not offended by anyone calling anyone else a Nazi, but don't talk out of both sides of your mouth.
Of course...Lewis graduated with a masters from Yale University. Where did Beck get his?
If that is the criteria to judge, Why do all on the left deride Bush who graduated form Yale, yep the same one AND got his Masters from Harvard School of Business, reported to be the BEST in the world?

Because Bush got in due to being a legacy and a member of one of the most powerful American dynasties in the history of the nation?
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?
You surly have to be kidding. All I read on here from the left is Rush said this, Beck said that, Sara said ... And over and over each of these allegations are proven false. The same people never listen or read the actual commentary. They just parrot Oberman, Mathews and the ever non biased Huff post.

I'll be waiting for you to actually prove that. Not just state your opinion or what you think it has to be. Actual cold hard facts.
