        It's not so much a measurement as a example of the growing gap between reality and Becky's insanity.

        "What's Glenn measuring in that caption?"

        How far and/or deep his stupidity goes?

        The size of the lies he speaks?

        The size of his d--k while he is asleep?

        Paraphrasing from "North by Northwest":

        "How much have you had to drink tonight?"

        "Oh, about this much."

          Yes, except I suspect that Mr. Beck would have taken Laura's Mercedes...

          And what happened then...? Well...in White-ville they say
          That the Beck's small ego grew three sizes that day!
          And then the true meaning of racism came through,
          And the Beck found the strength of ten Becks… plus two.

      Now Glen, You guys were upset when you were called a Mob.
      But all of a sudden you use the word "Thug" and you don't even Sob.
      When are you going back on The View Glen?
      Or are you going to sit in your Fox News Chair and hide to the bitter End?

      Speak truth to power.

        Mr. News
        This is for Beck and Conservatives are allowed to name call and use other tactics to demean, demonize, and dehumanize liberals. They are allowed to speak their mind because of freedom of speech but when others speak up against what they are saying they are trying to censor the right.
        This is also for liberals are not allowed to use facts for it is not fair. So, when they are angry and acting like a mob people cannot point it out. This is also for liberals have to bend backwards to appease conservatives when they are in power to achieve bipartisanship, yet liberals should shut up and let the conservatives do what they want for bipartisanship when conservatives are in power.
        Beck will not show up on the view for he cannot control the conservation. He will look silly saying get off your set, get off your set when he cannot defend his point of view.
        Lastly it is simple Beck is a hypocrite and it is do what I say not how I do.

      As is to be expected, it's all a big tea bag/GOP ruse. And a plum stupid one at that.

      whichever Fox staffer is reading this for Glenn, he won't get in the Celesital Kingdom or get his Temple recommend telling lies and acting like an ass. Joseph Smith wouldn't be pleased

      Oh, it's that heartwarming moment where Glenn's parents left him home alone and he put too much aftershave on his cheeks.

      I usually discuss the subject treated in the video but this time I just can't resist : don't you think Beck, in the first part of the video, acts like a teenage girl bitching. When he says Healthcare 09 tee shirts, I can almost hear him follow with "Oh No You Di'nt!".

      To be honest, I don't really feel the need to rebuke what he says because it's pretty self-explanatory...

      We know for sure a union member did not knock this guy to the ground or Fox News would be showing it over and over. The guy is already on the ground when they start the clip. Maybe he laid down, how do we know?

      Did you hear the response from the SEIU guy when he was accused of attacking the guy. "He attacked America", he was justifying the attack.

          You know, it's a funny thing, harley. Most of the time, those just slide on by me. For some reason, maybe it's the weather, this time when you called fairliberal a hick I just about fell out of my chair laughing. Thanks for that! :)

        fairliberal, the word you're looking for from the transcript is 'reverend'. He attacked a reverend. That was the quote. Believe me, it's been parsed, it's been run through equipment and software the average person can only dream of. You can keep flogging this issue. Just, you know, don't be surprised when Mr. Gladney turns out to be less innocent that originally depicted.

        Did you hear the response from the reichwinger who's death threat was responsible for shutting down a town hall meeting yesterday? He said he was just "joking".

      Its amazing that none of Beck's audience is smart enough to realize that they aren't being told anything. Do any of these people bother to look up the healthcare plan or the backing groups in the protests or any of the relevant information?

        I can't see them having either the inclination or the intellectual ability to do so. That's where the "Read the bill!" came from. They mean "Read the bill, since we don't have a snowball's chance of doing it!"

      Interesting how Mr. Beck failed to bring up the man with an effigy of Rep. Frank Kratovil in a noose. But then again, he was a "concerned citizen."
