      You stay classy Glenn. I'm pretty sure though, the 11 year old is smarter than you are.

      For someone so bent on stating that he's bipartisan in his distaste for the GOP and the Democratic Party, Glenn really seems to love mocking only one side of the aisle.

        He's always done that. These guys just claim to be independent, but of course, they're far from it, and actually, never were.

      So Glenn does this mean Sarah Palin's 11 year old daughter is fair game?

      Just wondering because I think I missed the most recent copy of the "Conservative Rule Book" cause I thought it was unfair to go after children?

      But hey Glenn if you want to pick on a child because she asked a smarter question then you could, go right ahead...


      BTW that noise your hearing Glenn, it's more advertisers abandoning the sinking ship B.S.S. Glenn Beck (the second S is Ship, and you know what the B.S. part is)

        I believe the rule you're asking about goes by the name IOKIYAR.

      His fake crying here was more convincing than on his 9/12 project nonsense.

      Also, weren't entire cities nearly shut down during the RNCs, with protesters confined to "free speech zones", some of whom were still falsely arrested? And weren't the protests at the RNCs widely covered by the same media that is now covering these protests? And is he implying that because some protesters on the 'left' behaved badly it is now alright for protesters on the 'right' to be similarly ridiculous?

      Perhaps the girl should have simulated pouring gasoline over the President; I'm sure Glenn would have considered that a more effective demonstration . . .

        Naw, poisoning the speaker would be the trick. Babe-on-babe is much more in keeping with Fox audience

      I can see Glenn saying that we don't need reasoned, respectful, logical and factual discussion of anything--all he needs to do is show a picture of a train wreck. Why discuss issues when doing so requires weighing of facts, which means finding them first.

      He gets paid do be stupid. Now where is the outrage that was shown when Palin's kid were brought out in the media. Fair and balanced, what a joke Fix news is. I hope he loses more advertisements.

      Beck was right on with that bit of satire.
      The little girl was very carefully "randomly selected" to read a set-up question.
      President Obama is very familiar with the girl's mother that worked for him during his last campaign. A disingenuous question gets a disingenuous response from the President and Beck.
