      Wow. That's the most pig-headed, tapioca-brained attempt at painting someone in stereotypes that I've seen in a single still image in a long time.

      They definitely crossed the line, and if anything on the show has ever warranted a deferential apology, this is it. And they should consider themselves lucky if we accepted that apology.

      Can't we be rid of these low-life "commentators" once and for all? You obviously don't have to have a grasp of the issues or tell the truth any longer to get yourself a radio or TV program. Just a big mouth.

        Maybe he should just re-label his show as a comedy show. Then he could get away with almost anything.

      Regarding all most all of the 'anchors' on Fox News, an old saying springs to mind: Empty barrels make the most noise.

      At times like this, though, it almost seems like Beck is daring the FCC to do something, taunting them into action. Still, he didn't wonder aloud why Representative Frank hasn't been strung up. Joe the Plumber asked this very question about Senator Dodd. There seem to be many empty barrels cropping up just lately.
