      It's amazing how a little Pressure can truely expose the truth about a Man.
      Glen Beck is Cracking like a strong piece of frozen Glass placed on a boiling hot Pan.
      I should feel sorry for Glen Beck, but in this i will give no Quarter.
      For me Glen Beck's Redemption is a Total Non-Starter.

      Speak truth to power.


      Mr. News

      At least Ross Perot used color charts. Why doesn't FOX buy this child a box of crayons, the 64 unit size.

        I'm thinking the big ones that they give to kindergarteners with just 8 colors . . . wouldn't want to confuse him with words like Sienna, Ochre, Cornflower Blue or Magenta.

        Within weeks we will probably witness Beck, with the giant size chalk, drawing his charts on the sidewalk in front of the Fox News building, because he is not allowed inside.

      Wait... Immediately after admitting an error, he claims that now is the time to realize that Glen Beck is right? Because he was wrong, he's correct. That's his "logic".

      Glenn Beck is not right about anything and I take offense at his use of God's name in vain.

      See, this is how it happens. Beck will produce 20 hours of content this week. In those 20 hours the odds are that he'll slip and say something that isn't 100% true. To sites like this, the size of the "error" doesn't matter. Spelling something wrong on his blackboard is the same as outright lying under oath to them. If he says one wrong thing - even taken out of context - MMFA will proudly proclaim that Beck is a scumbag, alcoholic liar intent on deceiving the American public. Can we not at least consider the issues he brings up? Can we not at least search for the answers to some of his questions?

        I'd be willing to cut Beck a break if he didn't bring up every struggle he had to go through, his alcoholism, and then, of course, he might shed some tears.
        He's a hypocrite, and to tell you the truth-I'd strangle him for the mental anguish he causes me every freakin' day.
        He'll slip? What TV are you watching? He lies everyday! He makes stuff up! And, by the way, he couldn't produce if he had instructions.
        No apology for Beck. He doesn't deserve it, and he gets paid to outright lie. Millions. Guarantee, he ain't losing sleep over his health. Like I am.

            It's amazing nothing Hannity ever said managed to get Fox to feel this much heat. And it's funny how it's the one slip into outright racism (against the President, no less) that finally hurt them. It's amazing, how much hate speech they can get away with, and hide behind Shep Smith.

            I have a feeling, whether Beck keeps his job or not, Fox News has found the line in the sand they can't cross. (It didn't take this long for lack of trying, either.) Do they now have the sense to make sure none of their bread winners go charging right across it?

        Which questions, the one about the FEMA camps?

        The one about the president being a racist?

        The one about gay marriage being about attacking churches?

        The one about the president being the anti-christ?

        The one about "Cash For Clunkers" being a ruse to glean all of your personal info from your computer? And make your computer another node on the nefarious gubmint network of tubes?

        If he weren't such a dick, it would be different. but he's nothing more than a right-wing Howard Beale without the intelligence or compassion.

        He's throwing every piece of excrement he can find into the fan but it's all blowing back on him and his idiot followers.

        Utter piffle. And why should anyone care about "the issues he brings up" when he shows no ability whatsoever to stick to facts or even understand the simplest concept like Freedom of Speech.

        He is a habitual bald-faced, inciteful liar that deserve every censure.

        Unles you wish to comdem us to quickly writing a 100 page or so missive. Why don't you bring up one of those questions to be considered.
        Though questions about suspicians and rumors can be pretty slimy rhetoric to try and grab ahold of and pin down.

            Why are any groups allowed to write bills? It's not as if this hasn't happened before. Lobbyists, and special interests write bills all of the time.

      I'd bet most of Beck's viewers can't even follow his convoluted, paranoid rants...but they know he must be talking about something awfully bad. It really is sad to see how many Americans are too stupid and/or too frightened to think for themselves and, instead, rely on the ramblings of an insane, broken down drunk.

      And how many policy czars were created under the Bush administration, Mr. Beck? Is this really anything new?

      And also, this isn't the Russian empire, where the term "czar" actually connotes that the individual has some supreme authority above all branches of government. It is simply a term that indicates that the individual is the point policy-maker on that specific subject within the White House. Let's say that again, policy-maker on that specific subject within the White House. These individuals can't go around subjugating the authority of the other branches of government on a whim. They are simply in charge of certain areas of policy, and have no actual authority overrun the Constitution as you would like to have your paranoid (mostly on account of your hair-brained fearmongering), frightened, tinfoil-helmet-wearing audience to believe. Just as the Bush administration applied the title "czar" to a great deal of policy-makers within the White House, so has this administration, so please pull your head out of your ass and stop trying to frighten America.

        It's new because Obama is in office.

        It's like how they discovered that Obama was using a TELEPROMPTER! HOW DARE HE!

        Bush didn't have quite as many "Czars" as Obama has, but, he had a fair few, well over 20.

        Not to mention, for the most part, most, if not ALL senior staff in the White House are not vetted by Congress either. Like, say, for example, the chief of staff, widely considered the 2nd most powerful person in DC.

        This whole tirade about people not being vetted by Congress is just a ruse to arouse anger again at something Obama is doing, that every President since Nixon has done.

      Hey, Beck: YES THERE IS A CONSPIRACY TO ENACT HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION YOU DON'T LIKE.

      It's called an 'election.'
