      I think if someone began a conversation with me by insulting me and my family and then continued the conversation by continually drawing straws and arguing with false infomation I would lose my cool too. This is his program, he can say or do whatever he likes. He was patient for most of the clip and finally lost it when she continued to be an ignorant about her facts. The fact is that Canada and France and the rest of the world does not come close to what the US provides in healthcare. We don't need to look at other countries for better solutions. I think she deserved everything she got.

        I think if someone was condescending by mocking me with sarcasm throughout a conversation and then ended the conversation with a tantrum and then continuing without providing any facts but by "brainstorming" talking points in my absence without fear of rebuttal, I would consider that person a tool, also.

        It IS his program, and he can use it to present himself as a complete fool and raise questions about his sanity if he likes. He was using the typical mock-your-opponent rebuttal and "lost it" when he ran out of material.

        The fact is that Canada and France and scandinavian countries outpace the US when it comes to providing healthcare for the citizens of those countries. We need to look at ALL options including other countries for better solutions. Beck deserves to be ridiculed.

        i am really tired of hearing how terrible health care is in other countries. i'll make you a deal. you put up your horror stories about health care in canada and europe (with links) and i will match you one for one on people in this country not recieving the health care they need because of insurance companies endless search for more profit. this whole idea that govenment run healthcare will put bureaucracy between you and you doctor is a totaly bogus arguement. the insurance companies already do that by trying everything they can to NOT pay for your medical needs. so, i say, put up or shut up.

        "I think she deserved everything ...."

        During your preamble, you fairly much voided all relevance for what you think.

        "The fact is that Canada and France and the rest of the world does not come close to what the US provides in healthcare."

        Does it matter to you at all that that's not a fact? Does getting the truth on that point interest you in any way? When you find out that you're wrong, will you stop listening to the people who fed the lie to you on purpose because they knew you'd be gullible enough to believe it without checking?

        The US ranks 30+ in standard health indicators. The quality of care is roughly indistinguishable across the board. The big difference is that everybody else does it for half the money.

        All your side has is nebulous whines about "wait times". Small potatoes from a country that keeps millions out of the line.

          Actually it is.

          They don't ask you what kind of insurance you have before they will treat you.

          They don't have to wait until they are already dying or dead to see a doctor.

          Isn't it wonderful the one woman, if she's for real, the G-NO-P has been using for their example since talk of health care reform started, the Canadian who supposedly had a brain tumor and had to spend $100,000 to come to America to get treated at the Mayo Clinic, because she would have had to wait so long she would have died, just happened to have all that money laying around. If she'd been an American she WOULD BE DEAD, even WITH that much money in her piggy bank.

          See! It's just a matter of how you interpret the neocon talking points. Besides, what can you expect of a bunch of race bating, poor hating, anti-American bigots, who are already on the edges of their death beds due to their inferior, socialized, government run, premium health care we tax payers FORCE them to have?

        Your facts are off. You have been watching the Fox Tabloid too much. Snopes has addressed some of the lies that the right wing media has spread about Canadian Health Care. This link shows a right wing email about Canadian health care and follows it with the facts.

        Congrats thomas65,

        You just earned your $50 from the right-wing think-tanks that pays people like you to say stupid crap in order to change the subject, like what you just said.

        Hope you spend your hard earned money well.

      we do realize that the more this is talked about and remixed etc just means more $$ and a better contract for Beck, right?

        ...for which we are rewarded with more Beck entertainment, and the fringe benefit of having our political adversaries associated with yet another loony clown.

        I'd say this symbiotic relationship contributes greatly to prosperity for us well beyond mere survival.

        To expose these people for the frauds that they are is well worth every dollar they earn. Thier antics and hatred certainly helped the D's win additional seats and then the majority in both Houses. They are going to continue to blather the bat-screech of this lies/misinformation whether called upon it or not.
        They will make more money but they will have no dignity or high regard given to them by listeners even thier fans.
        Let's face it..if any of these bums ran for office, they would get creamed because they only cater to the audience that listens to them.
        Don't you think Limpy, Seannie, Quinney would prean like peacocks( which they probably are) if they were elected to the Senate of the US...but they know thier mental limitations keeps them on the radio to squawk like turkeys to make more and more money. Thier legacy will never be solidified. They will always be known as radio wingnutz...but they will have the money.

        What would be the effect on Beck's audience (and $$) if he spent the entirety of every TV show throwing spinach against a wall and saying nothing?

        I honestly have no idea. His numbers might go up or down. Others in the media might notice or not notice. All is void and nothingness.

        If Beck's show took place in the world of time and space, his daily apocalypses would have finished him off long ago.

      I love Beck... His book "Common Sense" it he best, most thoughtful writing since Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior". Obama is out of control along with most of the Dems and some of the Repubs in washington. We need term limits for our Congress so that they will work for us and not for all the special interests. That woman has never listened to BEck or read any of his books, because he doesn't care what side of the aisle you're on if you don't have the good of the country now and in the future in the best interest. I'm sick of Fox News being the only fair and consistent news agency out there. Don't get me wrong, some other broadcasters are fair also, but you never get a bias as big as you get from NBC or CBS. If this website wants to be fair and really set the record straight, then it needs to look at all media and be fair with all media, not just the freaks who want the SP ideas out there. But then again, what am i saying? this website is all about the SP doctrines. GOD HELP US ALL because this country is gonna be screwed after health care, cap and tax, and whatever else freakin obama and congress are gonna do

      Anytime you want to shut up a conservative when he tells you that the profit motivated, republican-styled US healthcare system is the best in the world and that citizens of other countries are clamoring to come over here for their medical needs, all you need to do is refer them to the website of the World Health Organization. While the WHO ranks the US #2 in the world for what we spend on healthcare as a percentage of our GDP (http://www.photius.com/rankings/total_health_expenditure_as_pecent_of_gdp_2000_to_2005.html), they also rank our country 37TH in the world for the overall quality of its healthcare system (http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html) and 24TH in the world for Healthy Life expectancy (http://www.photius.com/rankings healthy_life_table2.html). The problem is, the rightie you're trying to educate with these non-biased facts will either deny them totally, or claim that the World Health Organization is just a bunch of godless liberals.

      If it doesn't exist already, I'd like to see a clip of Glen Beck morphed with the face of Judge Doom from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

      Remember at the end of the movie when we found out Judge Doom is really a toon? He screamed in a high squeaky voice, "Remember me Eddie?! When I killed your brother...I...talked...JUST...Liiike Thiiiis!!!"
