        Teabaggers, birthers, conservatives, GOPigers, reich-wingers, and faux viewers are parasites....not viruses.

        Now that's not fair. If we're kept sterile, we won't catch contagious diseases.

      Wow... Becky is really really reaching...

      Where does he come up with these ideas? Is he borrowing Rush's Oxycotin?

      When you have to reach like that to find a conspiracy, you've really need to find a new line of work.

      When Rachel Maddow is making her connections between the "astro-turf" and the Health Care industry, it's pretty straightforward and obvious.

      Beck is ridiculous and Fox should be embarrassed.

      Wow. This actually makes me sad. It's like watching a child who has been told to connect the dots smile as he connects every dot to every other dot on the table, not just those on the page, and then wait for a pat on the back. Only that would be an insult to children with creativity.

      Fail! Something is seriously wrong there. He's so convinced he can say anything and people will agree. There's no need to worry about him anymore. he drove off the cliff on his own. It's only a matter of time now. The only ones that will survive are Dobss and Savage. Rush has too many people speaking out against him on his side. Rush's whole thing was about the power he had over the Republic party.

      Is the host of the "Twilight Zone" still Alive?
      Maybe he could make since of Glen Beck's Jive.
      Glen's panel looked like they had been hit by a Star Trek Phazer.
      Which Sponsor will Cancel on you next Glen, Gillette Razor?

      Speak truth to power.

          The late Rod Serling, a brilliant writer and social commentator. He would have a field day with Glenn Beck. The creation of "The Twilight Zone" was actually in response to the Red Scare.

      That brief moment of silence, that "respite from insanity", was actually one of the few watchable moments of the Glenn Beck program.

      It was like the quick whiff of an unexpected cool breeze on a 105 degree day. I'm glad the clip ended there, before he opened his mouth and spoiled it...

      I watched this in real time and was dumb struck. Let's all acknowledge that there are idiots in the world. Ergo, there are idiots in America. Ergo,idiots seek out other idiots. Ergo, you can do well in cable news by catering to the idiotic demographic. Ergo, Fox News is a magnet for idiots and dominates cable news. Ergo, Murdoch and Ailes may be businesses geniuses, but they're otherwise idiots for thinking that the vast majority of Americans doesn't understand that they're marketing to idiots.

      There should be a Law against using the term "News" when showing these opinion programs.

      What is it with these dimwits and their charts?

      Funny how he can see a connection between national health care and ACORN but can't see the connection between the insurance company lobbyists and the astroturfers.

        And the way he rants about the profits GE makes, and can't understand why people can't see they are being ripped off but defends the Insurance companies. He is nuts.

      Hmm. No one with the assist there on the smear that environmentalists are anti-human. Good for those guests.

      Now, let's get a guest on there who will say: "Glenn, that's insane."
