So let's get this straight: it's a higher priority to attack an organization that fired a couple of their corrupt members when found to be in the wrong than to attack an organization that DEFENDED their employees after multiple women were raped by them, imprisoned those victims, and denied them their rights to defend their image?

I just want to be totally clear that you're saying that choice is "brilliant".

Halliburton has defrauded America out of BILLIONS AND BILLIONS! You would think "conservatives" would be all over this, but Bushco fooled you using FEAR.

Beck wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on any of his cheeks. He is the far right's version of Chicken Little always crying about something. Even Faux News does not list Beck, Hannity or OReilly as part of their news...they are their own daily infomercial. Anyone who sees them as otherwise is delusional.

Jennifer, my experience has been that truth, if there is such a thing in the public square, takes a whole lot of persistence and diligence to uncover. Listening to any one broadcaster/entertainer ain't gonna get you there. There's are no short cuts.

Beck attracts the lowest common denominator. He is entertainment and nothing more. It would be silly to take anything he says seriously.

What? | 7:10 a.m. Nov. 4, 2009
The Govt. Health care project of Obama will make Halliburtons supposed rapes look like a little tea paarty. When will the libs learn that the govt. itself is the problem?
And ACORN is much more than a couple of employees saying the wrong thing to the wrong people. It, in conjuction with SEIU is the corrupt arm of the DNC, paid for by our tax dollars to "get out the voter fraud." Doesn't matter to the sheeple on the left.

Jennifer, Glen Beck makes hundreds of millions of dollars deluding people like you. He's a modern-day sophist--he doesn't care about the truth. Go somewhere else for your news; he's a waste of time.

Beck brilliant? Uh, not so. Do you know anything about Halliburton, by the way? The conservatives are the ones who have ripped of the American public. Where's Beck on this? AWOL.

Ignorant criticism. | 7:44 a.m. Nov. 4, 2009
Another Beck basher who doesn't watch him enough to know anything.Beck has stated and proved countless times that he is against republican and democrat corruption.He reigned criticized upon Bush long before Obama came into power.

Ever hear of Van Jones? I never did until Beck uncovered him. For sure the MSM didn't have a clue or were comfortable with him in the administation and wouldn't cover his story. Good for Beck and Fox News.

Jennifer, what "truth" are you talking about? That our President has a deep rooted hatred against white culture? What evidence even supports that anyway?

The only thing he does brilliantly is be a rodeo clown. He rallies his nutcake base and irritates everyone else.

Truth and Beck should never be used in the same sentence.

Yes I have heard of Van Jones. He is one of the many windmills blech likes to tilt at.

Joseph McCarthey would be so proud.

Beck is not a news reporter. Beck is a fear mongerer and borderline sociopath. He was not in favor of the bill preventing the US from contracting with companies who do not protect women from rape.
How can ANYONE justify that? Beck condones rape in he views.

His persona makes the liberals cringe. They ignore the corruption and duplicity Beck has exposed and focus on the messenger. It's easier than answering the questions he has raised. Blame the doctor for diagnosing cancer!

Hypocrisy,
Is that why Beck rating Numbers grow and grow as you leftist type thinkers keep saying that he a rodeo clown?

Fox News has more viewership than MNBC and CNN combined. Their democratic viewership is around 30 percent.

So exactly why is the rating number so high for Fox and not the leftist media? Could it have something to do with that most americans are NOT Liberal?


I find it amusing that you the minority think that we the Majority knows what's best. LOL

Beck and Goebbels | 9:10 a.m. Nov. 4, 2009
Beck (and the rest of the extremist pundits) appeals to the same type of person that Joseph Goebbels appealed to.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" said Goebbels.
The lie this time around: Liberals (aka Democrats) want to destroy the country.

Beck asks questions most of us want answered. He never claims to have all the answers. He certainly has his opinions. His quests are usually faculty members from Columbia University, the University of Chicago, New York University, other members of the media, former federal prosecutors etc, etc and for the most part they agree with his analysis. Are Beck's critics smarter than these people? And why won't those that know answer his questions? Because they are cowards.

Beck's followers: tools
Beck's case against Van Jones included lying (called him a criminal who spent time in prison) and indicting him for statements he made many years ago. Beck didn't examine or explore Jones more recent writings and ideas. We didn't know much about Van Jones before Beck targeted him and there is still much we don't know about Jones because that is where the information stopped. Beck's campaign against Van Jones was prompted by Color of Change's (which Jones had co-founded) campaign against Beck.

But Republicans have used Communists. Marvin Olasky JOINED the Communist Party after graduating from college but he was a campaign advisor to George Bush and his book was given to Republican freshman in Congress by Newt Gingrich. Republican leaders have quoted Mao as well.

This is nothing more than Rovian tactics and dirty politics courtesy of the Republican Party. Precisely why i joined the Democratic Party after spending 30+ yrs as an Independent.
