      What... the... hell... doesthisevenmean?!

      These people are unhinged... I mean Savage always was, but now Beck and the rest of them...

      These people need medication. And I know THEY can afford it, esp. if they're protesting heallth care reform, so there's no excuse. Get some meds.

        Meds schmeds, NGE! Savage needs to have a nice long sit-down with his friendly local FBI and US Attorney to discuss the concept of treason and terroristic threats...

        I had the EXACT SAME reaction when I heard this. My only hope is that they're all trying to one-up each other, and maybe that will lead to one of them committing suicide.

      Okay, so she doesn't know her own history, and she finds this discussion of a coming revolution to be enlightening. Interestingly, she is talking about a 9/12 event, something put forward by Glenn Beck, so much for grassroots. Let's see, when Boxer and Pelosi scold people for bringing Nazi images to these events, they are being terrible, but when right wing radio people invoke fascist, Marxist, communist, Nazi, Maoist images, they are just being truthful and honest. (And encouraging further appearances of Nazi images at these events.) Someone will be hurt, but they will find a way to blame it on the Liberals.

      Interesting... he's now calling on motorcycle gangs (or as he calls them, groups) to join the mob.
      Nothing like having a bunch of murderers, thieves and drug dealers support your cause.

        One of the things I always insist on in my "free speech" is that it be FREE. Not as opposed to censored, but as opposed to PAID FOR! These media types getting kicked off the airwaves is not about FREE speech, it's abour PAID speech. Or to put it differently I believe 100%, no exceptions, in the freedom for speech for INDIVIDUALS - and yes, con's & Lib's, that includes so-called hate speech - but do not believe that this protection applies to CORPORATIONS.

        And as for the free press... wasn't this deemed necessary because having a WELL-INFORMED public was considered to be an inherent good? So where does MISINFORMING The public fit into the freedom of the press?

        If you're a Repugnantcon who actually wants to overthrow the Obama Administration, that's how! On the other hand, if you're an AMerican who really does love our country, it is incitement to riot. Actually, more like calling for armed insurrection against the government...

      If this ain't inciting violence, I don't know what is. He's right on the edge of having the cops visit his studio.

      I think it's over! The people listening to Beck&Friends... will not listen to any other source in the media. They are waiting to get more of this hate speeches to fire them up. I am pretty sure it will turn violent.

      This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, the conservativ media is waiting for violence, to report that Obama is ripping this country appart. I tell you just wait and see.

      This whole thing right now from the birthers to health care, is so disturbing and distressing... Sorry folks I don't know what to say anymore.

      I'd ask where Savage got those numbers from, about how many Americans wont be loyal to "King Obama" but I dont want to see him drop his pants to show me.

      I think these idiots are WANTING someone to get them fired or arrested . . . it would support their premise that the Obama government is full of a bunch of brown shirts.

      This is getting beyond crazy, it's frightening.

      I think that Savage is the worst of all the right-wing talking idiots on the radio today. He loves to incite violence against the "vermin"-- (his words--and Hitler's for that matter)-- who disagree with him.
      So now he is calling for "violent" motorcyle gangs to be a part of the protests? For what purpose? Well to any thinking person it is because he wants to foment violence at these events. And when it happens he will naturally claim to be innocent.
      Frankly I am sick to death of all these lunatic right-wingers spewing nonsense and inciting violence. We are in for some troubled times my friends.

      You know I think Savage should have really told the bigger reason why the people revolted against the British during the 18th century in the New World. It was because Great Britian was imposing taxes on the colonies without the new country's people representing them in the British Parliament. Also the policies resulted in trading restriction control on the newly formed colonies. Sounds like a beginning of dictatorship to me. Obama is just talking about reforming the already broken health care system that should have been fixed and giving financial benefits to the people who should have recieved the benefits 8 years ago. Some people need to tell the whole truth before just stating half of it!

      Mike loves a good protest, that is, unless HE has to show up.
      After the thrown together by his radio station Prop 209 protest over a decade ago, Mike has been in hiding when it comes to public political events. In this capacity, he's an armchair quarterback, maybe halfback at best. At least his son was out in the public, pounding the SF Bay street fairs and events pushing sugar, er forgot Coke/Pepsi new formula, sucralose water.

      Good job, Mr Savage. There is nothing better than turning the tables on a group of liberal IDIOTS ! and that's what they are.
      I love it that they just brush us off as some crazy group because
      they won't say that after the mid term elections where we get the last say !!! LMAO
