coming to the USA. I'm worried about the lying, inflammatory, inciting news personnel/media that permeates our channels and presses.

I guess they truly believe "the buck ($) stops here" and as long as people tune in and the advertisers pay, capitalism is alive and well...at least in their own pockets!!!!

Give me dissension based on truth; not based on lies....!!!!....Glenn!!!!!

Well, not a hell of a lot, Glenn...

Alternet --you are really starting to piss me off. the pinhead and the snowman model bigots are not discussed at my house or in my presence.
WHile I, love when other views are shown to demonstrate how ignorant they are, why do you continue to use their names when it is so aggravating
If you contiue to expose them can we please rename them to something like the pin head and snowman model boy or something?

It seems Glenn beck is featured nearly every day on so many liberal websites including AlterNet, even more than the MSNM, and nearly evey evening on the MSNBC Olbermann show. I never watch Fox"news" and I'm sick and tired of these stories about Beck. He thrives on the lime light; that's likely why he's such a daffy, insulting loon. His devotees love his act, but the rest of us are getting very bored by his lunatic extremeties. Or at least I am.
Whattayasay we just ignore the assh__e. If he dosn't calm down or just disappeasr altogether, at leat we won't have to read about his insane drivel every day.

Have actually watched Glenn Beck some this week and I admit I have been left puzzled. For one thing he used some clips from a speech that Anita Dunn from the White House had made where she had noted that the two people whom she looked to for insight were Mao and Mother Teresa. This made Beck go a tad wacko. What he doesn't understand is that anyone who has attended a good university as a liberal arts major, will have those on all sides of an issue that they glean wisdom from. Doesn't mean because I see wisdom in The Prince by Machiavellian, that I support the idea that the end justifies the means. And Dunn speaks far more about Mother Teresa than she does Mao, but watch Becks show and you sure wouldn't know this.

And where were the Glenn Becks in the 1940's when the United States was sending some of its citizens who had not been tried and found guilty of anything, to concentration camps? Actually they had a 'nicer' name. Internment camps. But they were still evil and cruel if you have ever visited the one here in northern California where the winters are harsh and the summer horrid and then realize that the housing was worse than what by chickens live in.

Glenn Beck and others like him lack the critical thinking skills a good university teaches. He also seems to ignore the fact that many if not most of his views are as rabid and rigid as the views of those he detests. And yes, I have read ALL the books he holds up on his show. Heck we have thousands of books in our home library because as homeschoolers and thinking humans we like reading all sides and weeding thru the weeds to get to the healthy plants. As an example Beck has a slap together new book 'inspired' by Thomas Paine's book Common Sense. Yet, Beck doesn't seem to have read ALL of Paine's works like The Rights Of Man.

Speaking to elders of mine who are as all American and patriotic as they come, I hear in whispered tones that these elders see shades of the 1940's both in Germany and here in the states. This doesn't mean I am happy with the state of affairs. But lets remember much of what we are dealing with now, was put into motion during the last administration. Like invading a sovereign nation to start a war (Iraq), and snooping on people who have never been charged with any crime. Have heard little from Beck and those like him, about why Bin Laden was basically ignored from after 9/11 to this year.

But the few that we have are no longer "hiding under rocks"... Obama gave them jobs :)

Most of the rest - the true believers - don't have or need real jobs. They "teach" at our major universities. That's probably because young kids are the only ones that will still listen to them (they have to).

No permanent damage done though... most of those kids quickly grow out of Marx when they get out into the real world.

HEY, THOSE OF US OLD ENOUGH REMEMBER GOING THROUGH THIS KIND OF BS IN THE MCCARTHY DAYS. GET OVER IT, IT DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE. EVEN RUSSIA ISN'T "COMMUNIST" NOW AND ANY IDIOT KNOWS THAT "COMMUNIST" AND "FACIST" ARE POLAR OPPOSITES POLITCALLY. BUT DUMB-ASS IS STILL APPLICABLE.

Thank you, shd1230!! What ChicagoWay wishes would go away is here to stay! We were taken to the cleaners under the previous Administration (can't even stand to repeat their names!) and ages 7-95+ are not going to forget real soon what it did to our country. It literally brought us to our knees, only to have a decent, hard-working Administration under President Barak Obama lead us out of the former manure pile, albeit slowly and surely.
What galls the infidel extremists is that Obama's/Congress' plans are starting to turn the country around economically, socially, educationally, and a host of other cultural positives.
If THIS is socialism, bring it on!! We could have it a WHOLE lot worse!

Getting an audience is the name of the game. Beck caters to the right wingers who love the words “Commie” or “Pinko”. But those who know him personally say that he is a “Lefty” and “Atheist”. Whatever you call him he is the best BS artist that has hit the media in ages.
