      Poor Glen Beck.
      He just can't keep his Journalism degree in check.
      He opens his mouth hoping to come off sounding stout.
      No one ever told him "it's better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

      Speak trutht to power.


      Mr. News

        Remember, Beck doesn't have a degree in Journalism, he considers himself a Commentator, and it is his job to "commentate" on things, and he doesn't have to check the facts, because he is not a journalist. These are his own description as stated on his visit to "The View". But that other point about being proven a fool..too late.

          Glenn Beck has NO DEGREE, AT ALL. They pulled him out of the gutter, hosed him off, sobered him up, stuck a bible in his hand (along with the book of moron) and a microphone in his mouth. Why anyone would look at this douchebag as anythign but a sad joke is beyond me.

            Yes, I had meant to point that out, too. No degree, but he has a book on the best seller's list and he doesn't want to sign it because then people will keep it for its value, he wants people to pass it on! I read a bit in the bookstore the other day, sanctimonious, seditious dreck! When will people catch on and run him out of town?

              Are you refering to "The Christmas Sweater," "Common Sense (with apologies to Thomas Payne)" or "Arguing with Idiots (an insider's guide to Fox News)"?

              (Or did he waste somemore perfectly good paper that otherwise could have been used to clean one's backside?)

              I had to hunt to find (Lack of)Common Sense, yes there aren't enough apologies to due to Mr. Payne, and I saw, but didn't open "An Inconvenient Book." But all of it was a waste of perfectly good paper, if you ask me. I bought "The Dark Side" by Jane Mayer. I won't spend any money on Becky.

            You think he's sobered up? That "GET OFF MY PHONE!" tape sounds like a really, really mean drunk to me. If not, he NEEDS a drink.

      Yep, no filter on these guys. And the audience who can't afford health care cheers the Becks et al because they are inspiring their fears.

      Fascism stems from ultra-nationalism. I thought we were the party of traitors and America haters. How can that lead to fascism?

      DICTORIAL?! Enough said. If regulated health care is fascist, what, for mercy's sake is a lack of coverage? Or, making people pay for whatever coverage they receive? If people had to really pay full price for their treatments, many of them wouldn't or couldn't spend the money. Cancer and major accidents send a huge number of people into bankruptcy even now, when they have insurance coverage. If we don't take steps to change the system soon, the number of people who have no coverage and the cost of carrying for them will only get worse, not better. The number of people who die or suffer lasting damage because they lack access to health care will only go higher, too. Glennie wants everyone to leave the present system alone because he can get whatever he needs, he can pay for it and all protests aside, he doesn't really care about the lack of access for the uninsured. He certainly doesn't want to pay for it. I am quite sure he would be very happy to see a pay as you go system because it wouldn't hurt him or his family.

      Beck and his buddies at Fox Republican News have done more in the past two decades to injure the ability of this country to govern itself. This hysterical, paranoid man would be laughed off if he didn't bring in the bucks for Fox. That he has such a huge following doesn't bode well for this democracy.

      60% of Americans are going to wake up? What are we, in the Matrix? Seriously, if Americans are going to wake up, I hope it is to the fact that Glenn and his ilk are two-bit charlatans that have no interest in whether or not their listeners go broke just as long as they keep feeding the advertisers.

      Glenn Beck said on the View that he was not a journalist. Why do people continue to think he is?
      Canada is a very fascist country by the way, those evil Canada geese are always pecking at us to get in line.

      Did Beck really say "Dictorial?" It's a great adjective, but it should be defining Beck, not Healthcare.

      Riiiight... Because Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini were all about providing the best possible health care, free to everyone. That must have been why they were so notorious.

      Do these guys even speak english?

        See that's my whole thing. In the history of this planet, how many dictatorships have come into existence via healthcare reform? No military coups, no rigged elections, no removal of term limits, no intimidating/controlling/murdering members of the press, just healthcare reform. How many times has that happened?

        I can't think of one, but maybe I just don't know history as well as Mr. Beck.

        Not sure about Hitler but Mussolini would fit right in with the modern Republican Party.

          Hitler absolutely would, if he (1) shaved, (2) washed his hair and (3) dressed in a taylored suit.

      Funny that he talks about it becoming a dictatorship, when in fact, the countries that guys like Beck and others keep using as examples to scare Americans are all what? Democracies. Canada, UK, and other places? All democracies of course.

      How come those countries didn't turn dictatorial after implementing national health care?

      Glenn your stupid is showing again.
