        What proof do you have that Beck has been forced to take a vacation??? I know on his show next week he's already advertising how he will expose all the czars in the Obama administration. guess they didn't spank him hard enough.

          "Expose"???????? They've already been vetted and passed the vetting procedure. Also, if you're talking about Van Jones . . . he had nothing to do with the Colorofchange campaign. He hasn't been involved with that group in over 2 years.

          Beck is in his own words, "a rodeo clown." Believe him. He is a high school dropout who found a way to make his hateful mouth an asset. You buy it and that's REALLY sad. You will soak up every lie that Beck shovels at you WITHOUT QUESTION.

          BTW, the word that he was on involuntary leave was reported by Fox employees as coming from BECK. Is it true? I don't know and don't really care. He's still offensive.

            Daschle and Geithner were also vetted, look how well that went. Was Axelrod also vetted? I guess that was the plan all along, a perk of working in the Obamanation admisistration, the gov't funneling money to the special interests of staff.

              Not only are you a fan of Becky, you listen to Malicious Malkintent, too! No wonder you think like you do. Yes, Geitner had some irregularities in paying his taxes, because of the program he used to prepare them. Daschle underestimated the value of a car service he was given and then went on to pay full value for it when he went to the IRS. He dropped out because he didn't want his mistake to tarnish the President. While these two men did have some problems, they are nothing compared to the wrongs done by Bush cronies. As to Mr. Axelrod, he was vetted, and he divested himself of the equity in his consultants firm (ASK). His bio, with a link to his financial statements is available at the link listed below. The statement is a PDF that is 15 pages long.

                It is laughable how the Right takes itty bitty things and tries so hard to make something big of it. Of course the more they repeat it, the more they will add to it.

                And now the firm that owes Axelrod 2 million and employs his brother is receiving millions in business from the Obamanation administration. They have to raise the money to pay him somehow. He'll make sure they have it.

                And I did not even get into Richardson and Solis. Yup what a fine vetting process.

            Glenn's idea of an Expose is to draw some funky pictures, jump to a lot of wild conclusions after stretching to make some sort of connection and call it the truth. But he doesn't provide the particulars of where he gets his material and he has admitted that he is a commentator, not a journalist, and therefore he is not obligated to check his facts. And if you dare to question him, you had better be a regular viewer because otherwise he may scream and yell at you for not being a fan of his show, of course, fans of his show know that you can't question his facts or material in the first place.

      Why do Americans put up with this?

      FOX news throw around the most vile, hate filled words like it was nothing.

      FOX news incite people to violence.

      They DO yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

      They spew the most contemptible lies, to gin up hatred and fear, then call it entertainment.

      They literally make me sick.

        Come on Martha, when wingnuts say stuff like this, it's just "a joke". Lighten up!

        At worst it's "silly" or "uncalled for" (two descriptions I saw applied by cons to the woman calling Obama a Nazi, and asking barney Frank why he supported Nazi policies.)

        This doesn't deserve the sort of outrage you should be saving for actual vile hate speech, like if the president responds to a question by saying some police officers acted stupidly, or mentions that Bible-thumping gun nuts might enjoy Bibles and guns.

      Hey, when you need to fill in for Glenn Beck, it's like you're trying out for a baseball team. If you don't go out and throw every single pitch you've got when you're trying to impress the manager, you'll never make it to the big leagues.

      Baker's throwing fastballs in hopes that Fox notices him for Beck's REAL replacement.

        I thought Fox threw this guy in there to make Beck maybe look like less of a Jerk. No decorum, class or brains what so ever.

          And how to you peg Kennedy, is he your "lion of the senate". A Man you admire perhaps? Enlighten me. I have heard many here mock Bush's past drinking, perhaps you are one of them. How about the drunk Kennedy, what do you think of him. What do you thing of someone who went home to sleep it off while a young woman died in his car. Care to enlighten us. Speak up. Is he a man you are proud to have in your party?

          Or will you just throw another insult? That's probably more likely.

                Good Morning Col., The rest of you over & over give this troll long, detailed, intelligent, fact based explanations, with links to back it all up. (don't stop, I've learned a lot ha.) all to no avail. I, for one, can shamelessly (well, a bit shameful) talk to these trolls on their own level.

                Honestly when someone constantly defends that vile Limbaugh, Lying O'Reilly, Coward Hannity, Evil Savage and idiot Beck, I do not believe they really want the truth, just discord.

                Have you noticed how many of our regulars are MIA lately?
                I miss their intellect and humor.
