Glenn is brilliant. Anyone who carefully listens to him can see that he gives very good arguments in favor of sound positions(although sometimes he does get a bit carried away with his emotional enthusiasm). Nonetheless, he is exactly what this country needs. He has done an incredible job exposing the corruption in Washington that feeds the most ridiculous--and(make no mistake) dangerous--policies.The left would destroy this country. Take health care for example. The liberal left (led in congress by the incompetent Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid---what a joke he is)would destroy our health care system in order to fix some of the problems with it. Glen is so popular simply because he says what needs to be said and what no one else will say (and he scares the left because he is so good at it).
Are they radio personalities or are they politicians?
Will they be held up to the same scrutiny as a candidate or will they just dry up and get fired like someone else from CNN.
Then everyone wonders why Obama didn't want to give legitimacy to political organizations and allow them to disguise themselves as a news organization.
We aren't some kind of third world country where news organizations are leaders of some political movement. This is all the Obama administration needs to ban the Fox Party and its members and employees from taking part in legitimate press conferences and interviews.
Let them organize their political movements from the confines of their Party HQ at Fox News.
Following charismatic leaders never turns out very well. This is sadly what has been predicted for years.
Someone's image on TV is more important than a properly vetted, qualified, leader.
These folks will find it difficult when they are no longer the peanut gallery, and now have questions asked of them.
Aint nothing wrong with more voices and ideas being heard in the town square.
@fox banned. How can you make it sound like some shady stuff is going on behind the scenes with Fox news, when the white house is chock full of sinister organizers and communists. Take back our country now!

Are you talking about Beck or Obama?
They threaten Obama/dems and all their idiotic policies. (Spend, spend, spend and week foreign policy)
He does made many valid points about small government which on the surface make a lot of sense.
However his sensationalist ways will soon cause much of the people that have "interest" in his views, to not take him seriously anymore. He will be like the boy who cried wolf.
Hey, I listen to him. He's got quite an ego and he's full some paranoid ideas. At least he's not as hateful and racist and ridiculous as Limbaugh, or as whiny as Laura Ingrahm or Mark Levin.
It's a free country. People can say what they want. It's what entices and incites unstable people to do however, that is worrisome.
Obama, for better or worse, was elected by the majority of Americans. Obama is America's choice.
If you want it back, who are you, and from whom are you taking it?
I figured the GOP would have realized after 8 disastrous years of Bush and their trouncing in 2008 that dumbing everything down to pander to Joe the Plumber was a bad strategy. But apparently they've decided that their mistake was in not dumbing it down enough!
Beck takes his political ideas from a fringe Mormon nutjob (Skousen) who interfered with FBI investigations and thought slaves liked being slaves. (And who knows where he takes his meds from...)
And Palin mixed up Iran and Iraq the other day in a softball interview.
Yes, these are apparently the people to lead us out of trouble times.
Guess that's what happens when you underfund education for decades...
"They [liberals] hate pro-lifers, capitalism, religion (Christianity), business, military, people who disagree with them, guns, and anyone who makes a dollar more than them. They believe the government is the solution to everything."
Is this what Beck told you?
You're WRONG! So, so, so very wrong.
Palin, Beck, O'Reilly vs. Obama, Olberman, Couric.
That would be 55 to 0. For the Palin, Beck, and O'Reilly team.
Obama = terrible policies!!!!
Olberman and Couric = terrible ratings!!!!!!
I would pray that my Mormon brother and sister reflect on the character of the people whom would be perceived as speaking for them.
Glenn Beck is a corrupted, and damaged soul that can bring nothing but shame, and harm to those he presumes to speak for. I am concerned an fervor over ideology is clouding otherwise very good judgment. I would ask that a habit of demanding an sincere opposing opinion should be considered before taking serious any vile that comes from Mr. Beck.
Remember: They're entertainers. They get paid to stir up things. The more stirrin, the more ka-ching!
Besides, when one hears someone repeat quotes like "take our country back" one can but wonder which spirit is talking through that person.
The spirit talking seems to overlook the fact that Obama was elected by the majority of Americans.
So, when one finds oneself saying, "we want the country back", then who exactly are you, and from whom are you taking this country, and are you a danger or a benefit to democracy?
You are certainly not in the majority, as the majority elected Obama.
But then, Fox, Beck, and his audience are a minority-- but one which delights in unhappy denial of it. (They believe this is their country, ONLY.
Fortunately, both Beck and Fox and their audience are of limited duration and bandwidth and will soon be but a shameful memory, like Rep. Joe McCarthy.
