      This was after Glen Beck embarrased the man by giving him a dementia test for 5 minutes or so. It included things like Beck saying "pick up a piece of paper, now fold it in half, now place it on the floor.". It had to be very embarassing for Mr. Walpin.

      "WHY ARE YOU NOT POUNDING THE PAVEMENT RIGHT NOW?!?"

      Yeah, Beck, they're coming for our guns again, right? They took Brunn's guns away, just like you predicted and here they come again, right? Time to stand and be counted, right?

      YOU are a freakin' MORON, Glenn Beck. You have NO clue what you are asking for so shut the heck up.

      I used to think clowns were scary. But this one called "Beck" makes me laugh every time. Maybe it's the dry humor. Maybe it's the floppy shoes. I don't know which, all I know is that his employer is one lucky circus.

      I can just picture him car pooling to work in the morning with 17 other Fox employees...

      Glenn,
      I can't believe you haven't made it to the silver screen yet. There hasn't been much decency in America since you've been on the air. That was a ridiculous analogy. This guy is a right wing hack and I wish Obama would just say I don't want right wing hacks reporting to me. I wish O'Reilly would have his body language expert he wants to loof analyze this latest Beck performance. That would be a good segment.

      I was a little disappointed. He seemed like he was going to start crying again. I love watching a grown man cry about how his country is being taken away from him.

      I nominate Gene Wilder to play the title role in the film The Glenn Beck Story...

        Well, he's proven adept at playing hacks who owe their careers to invoking Hitler.

        IMO, the role belongs to Paul Giamatti.

      I think of Beck as a sort of a secular televangelist.

      All roads lead to ACORN. Dry Drunk, Beck. Reminds me of Rush saying he's an optimist. I wonder if this hysteria post-weimar ranting will ever end until something terrible happens. Its almost like they WANT it.

      At last Glenn Beck truly appreciates and fully understands the real value of the Civil Rights movement: as a metaphor for individual white people who find themselves facing challenges.

        Well these last few months have been tough on us white men but we shall maintain and overcome. It will be a long road but we love this country --especially when we are completely in charge. Maybe during the next Congressional elections things will turn for the better. The sun will be a little brighter. The apples a bit sweeter... (A single manly tear just rolled down my cheek).

        Have the wingnuts have lost all the wheels on their desk chairs?

      Ha! Read the bottom news bar. A man dresses up like his dead mother to claim social security.

      This is what "News" Fox News want to cover. Anything that can be sensationalised.

      There nothing but Tabloid News.

      I'm sorry, I just do not get it, how is reporting on this mans firing, which is Illeagle under the law that Pres. Obama himself cosponcered make Mr. Beck a moron? And where is the decency in smearing Mr. Walpin, who was only doing his job, by saying he was "confused and unaware"? May be I am a moron( I assure you I am not), but I just do not understand how ANYONE who actualy LISTENED to the FACTS can think this is anything BUT a grave injustice?
      This man uncovered wrongdoing on the part of a person who just happened to be a friend and supporter of Pres. Obama, and was then fired for doing so, which was only Doing his job!
      Please, befor you insult Mr. Walpin for doing what he was hired to do, remember that the missspent money also came out of YOUR TAXES as well, and MR. Beck is only reporting on this becauce NONE of the other media will touch it, why won't they? It is your money too,do YOU WANT to pay for this kind of thing to go on? Have you no pride? Have YOU no Decency? MadMuo

      P.S. I dare MediaMatters to actualy post this, I do not believe they will, as I do not believe they have the integrity to actualy give space to anyone who does not follow the strict party line...

        There, there, calm down. That was very, very brave of you, challenging MMfA from a position of complete anonymity. As you see from your post being included on the site, MMfA does post rants from a select group of morons who can spout nothing but wingnut talking points. You have now attained that elite plateau.

        Now that you have joined the ranks of the 101st Fighting Armchair Keyboardist Division, you may sit smugly back in contentment, knowing that your immortal words have been read by someone at MMfA.

        And heartily laughed at.

        The reason Beck is a moron is because he has the nerve to compare this to the civil rights movement, and the reason you are a moron is because you don't see the absurdity of that (and you CAPITALIZE words at RANDOM). Find an instance of people "insulting" Walpin or slink back to RedState.
        P.S. MMfA is the same for trolls as they are for media figures: the most devastating thing they can do is reproduce their words verbatim.

        Really, madmuo? You're gonna pin your anti-Obama hopes on going after former NBA player Kevin Johnson and supporting the guy who was fired after a unanimous request from the AmeriCorps board of directors? And being unable to answer questions and appearing confused and disoriented during the board meeting that brought about the unanimous request makes him comparable to blacks not being able to eat in the whites only section how? I also believe that no charges were ever filed against Kevin Johnson and his group and that the questionable funds were returned to the AmeriCorps.

        Also, there is nothing so funny as reading you right-wingers rant on and on about how your post will not be seen on MMFA while we are reading it on MMFA. Truly classic persecution complex.

        "May be I am a moron" - You may want to look at this option again.

      I know Glenn is so stupid I mean to point out the fact that this guy was fired for no reason other then being old and investigating one of Obama's bball friends that wanted to play politics. I mean unlawful termination is such a great thing we should allow it. And Glenn is a great actor but you might be right what do actors know about being politicians ex, Arnold,Al Frankin,Jesse Ventura,Reagan
