      The government is bringing the iron fist to crush everyone! The people aren't going to just let it take their freedom away!

      But remember, dear viewers, no violence.

        That's right! Obama is like Hitler and Stalin combined and will crush all good Americans under his commie-fascist heel before putting you in the FEMA concentration camps where you'll all be gassed, especially your children! But remember, dear viewers, Beck can't be held responsible if one of you takes him seriously and goes on a rampage.

      Look! Becky has a real life celebrity on his show.

      Gotta admit, Mr. Clean still looks good after all these years.

        They'll never tell you, because they don't even know what the constution actually SAYS, despite their insistance that judges adhere to every letter of it without interpretation. (Whatever THAT means.)

          And the reason that guys like Beck won't tell their audience what freedoms they are losing and don't give concrete examples is that they want to leave it open to their audiences imagination. Now a wacko watching his show can pick two or three of the following and fantasize that Obama is going to ban guns, ban old age, ban capitalism, ban conservative talk shows, give tax credits to illegal immigrants, or make America a muslim theocracy.

      Jebus, BushieCo was 1000 times worse in this department and not a peep out of Faux News or Beckinsale.

        What do you expect - they were the ones in charge!!!

        Beck and his ilk are hypocritical scum. And every conservative who buys this line of shullbit is ignorant, hypocritical scum.

      Beck, you are not even funny anymore. Your hatred for us having a different color president is laughable. Doesn't FOX have diversity ( other than the Juam Williams joke ) ????

      Best Beck screenshot I've ever seen: slackjawed, inarticulate rage, with waving of fists in a typical simian display of superior firepower.

      I've said this in every post... take a look at the people who are protesting who are showing up...

      African-Americans?
      Asian-Americans?
      Latino-Americans?


      They are white folks... good ol' white folks who were afraid of Civil Rights... they are the same folks.

      I think everyone is skirting around the issue or afraid to say it out loud...

      But Roland Martin from CNN said it best (describing the birthers mind set)... "How did this black man become the President"

      I know in their heart of hearts they are saying to themselves, "He's not my President... he's not one of us"

        Also the people showing up to protest already have health-care. I watched one of those town hall meetings today and when they were asked how many in the crowd did not have health care coverage, there was not one among the protesters that was not covered.

          Robyn, since when is it a sin to have healthcare ? I do think we need a program in place to help those that can't afford healthcare, which happens to include all of my children and grandchildren. All of the ones proposing this also have health coverage and will NOT be on the HC plan they are proposing. Does that give you pause ?

        when the left wing doesn't have anything else to say it is always "the racist" it is getting so tiresome

      Freedom has been bred into us? It isn't an unalienable human right?
