      He's losing it, He's losing his cool.
      This man has become far more that just a Fox News Tool.
      This man is Dangerous and needs to be stoped.
      Every time I see Glenn Beck something between my ears pops.

      Speak truth to power.

        Well can you dispel the chart that seems to have 7 degrees of separation?
        No one is trying to no none of these organizations are interconnected.

        Funny how a single little guy can cause all this commotion on a single cable station. No one has come out with any concrete proof that any of this stuff is not true.

        The president has to go on about 6 different channels to get 1/2 the total views that fox has in the same time. Why is that?

        Have you read his tweets? He has seen the doctor several times. He says in one tweet that he doesn't know what's wrong with him. In several, he says he's not sleeping well.

        It seems to me that he is having a breakdown of sorts.

      I never watch Beck as I am afraid I might lose what sanity I have left, but I watched a little bit of him today. What a jerk. All he was doing was playing little snippets of Obama saying stuff with no context or when he said stuff and then called him a liar and all sorts of stuff. I know he said he was not a big Bush fan either, but somehow I doubt he ever did these kinds of rants against Bush on a non stop basis. Happily I maintained my sanity and will wait many months before I watch this clown again.

        Beck also said that ACORN was guilty of transporting 12 year old prostitutes across the boarder. No wonder he's not sleeping well.

        I can't, but this is probably how the nutjobs see it:

        Evil Black man (Obama)>Evil Black organization (ACORN)>Evil Union (SEIU)>Evil black entertainment venue (Apollo)>Evil rich man (Soros)>Evil socialist/communist/fascist/marxist takeover of our country by the evil black man and his evil organizations funded by the evil rich man bent on destroying the country that I want back.

      Mark my words. Immediately after Healthcare reform is passed(or non- reform), Glenn will launch an attack on Global Warming, and how it's a hoax.

      I'm glad to see him try to take on Soros. It only proves how tough he thinks he is.

      Rockefeller is to Skousen what Soros is to Glenn Beck.

        Global warming oh my gosh is it true? I don't think so, like anything else people are getting rich screaming about it yet flying in their gulf stream 12.

        Al Gore is a fraud with his sky is falling sermons, just like gas I would live to run out of gas tomorrow and just see what happens. I bet Al Gore, Hugo Chavez and all his enviro wacos would have plenty of gas to put in their limo's and gulf streams.

          They should never of called it Global warming, should of been called Crazy Weather. It's too late to make any changes to fix the climate now.

          Governments should be concertrating on Managing the Effect of global weather changes, cleaning up our act will help, but coming up with ways of dealing with sea level change and hotter climate.

              China has just proposed that all industrialized nations cut emissions and donate 1% of their GDP to subsidizing developing third world economies that are high polluters. They have also pledged to cut their own emissions 20% by 2020.

      Oh what a tangled web he weaves. I wonder what a conspiracy theorist might make out of Glenn and his Murdoch and Mormon connections. I wonder what kind of groups we could tie him to. Well, he shills Skousen's book, and Skousen's son is a survivalist. Can we tie him to the Unibomber and Ruby Ridge and what about the roasted nutjobs of Waco? Yes, Mr. Jones was a member of the Weather Underground. He was arrested, tried and sentenced, nearly 30 years ago. Now, if we are going to hold people to their past actions, and not forgive them or give them a chance to change, then why on earth would anyone be listening to a drop-out, stoner, drunk with anger issues who abandoned his wife and children, including a disabled one because of his considerable personal problems and instabilities, Mr. Beck?

                He has exposed so many people for the frauds they are, the president says he does not want single payer system, but just a few years ago he said just that. He also said he would bankrupt any coal company try to build a new plant, and that energy price would necessarily have to skyrocket. He told this to a San Fransisco interview.

            Lots.

            No. 1 . . . Fox constantly attacks George Soros and has painted him as Mr. Evil with horns. You know why? Not because he's evil, but because in 2004, Soros funded campaigns which were against Fox's candidate of choice, GWB. Now, why did Soros do such an EVIL thing? Well, it's because George Soros, who owned Harken Energy, bailed GWB out of his last oil mess in 1986. Soros saw what a lazy, incompetent leader GWB was and he knew that Bush's continued "leadership" of this country would bring it down. Because of his opposition to GWB, George Soros has been painted by Fox as an evil gnome.

            Just a little background on Soros. Try reading . . . you'll learn a lot more than you'll ever learn from watching a cable opinion network.

      There's no way anyone in his audience will be able to figure out what he's trying to say. What is he trying to say, anyway? He's just saying a bunch of words and names and associating them all with something bad. That's all his audience cares about and wants to hear.

      And now they will all be further emboldended to hate the President. Why? Because Glenn Beck put it all together.

      Why didn't Glenn Beck ever do anything like this with Dick Cheney and the war in Iraq?

      Dick Cheney - Starting off as an intern for Congressman Steiger, he then joined the staff of Donald Rumsfeld. Then Chief of Staff under Ford. Ford pardoned Nixon. Nixon spied on Democrats. Thirty years later, Cheney spied on everyone.

      Vice President under Bush II. Was Chief of Staff under Ford. Ford pardoned Nixon. Nixon spied on Democrats. Cheney spied on Democrats.

      He was Secretary of Defense when we invaded Iraq the first time, serving under the senior Bush. After that, he went to work in the private sector, for Halliburton, where he was chairman and CEO.

      He got back to work in the White House just in time to cook up intelligence so we could invade Iraq a second time. During this invasion, Halliburton was gifted with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of no-bid government contracts. Despite being an advocate for every war the U.S. ever got involved in, he was granted five deferments and did not have to go to Viet Nam. He certainly served his former company well, though, didn't he?

      Donald Rumsfeld - Appointed the Secretary of Defense by Ford. At the same time, Ford appointed Bush Sr. as head of the CIA. Rumsfeld gave us gems such as the B-1 bomber.

      Of course, Mr. Rumsfeld was also special envoy to the Middle East under Reagan, and is famously shaking Saddam Hussein's hand in a 1983 video capture, back when ol' Saddam was a 'good guy'.

      Mr. Rumsfeld was also a founding member of PNAC, who stated that expanded military spending in the U.S. would require a 'new Pearl Harbor'. You know, something like flying planes into skyscrapers.

      He was also certain that WMD's would be found in Iraq subsequent to the invasion.

      An April 2006 memo instructed Pentagon staff, under Rumsfeld, to keep "elevating the threat".

      Mr. Beck, this is just two of those who served in Washington in high places from 2000-2008. If you're interested in conspiracies...

      This amusing little chart rests on the basic premise that all left wing progressive organizations are inherently evil...just by proving connections between progressive grass roots movements Beck thinks he has discovered a conspiracy. In reality he is reinventing McCarthyism -- Many people in this country have apparently forgot about that dark time in our history.

      This looks like a Pro Football play and I guess that is the best way to explain it to the vast majority of Americans. It seems that we have choose sides and picked our teams. Hmmmmmmmm I don't know which side should wear the dark jerseys and which side should wear the light jerseys. I guess it should have something to do with who is in power and who is not, it seems being the underdog in the US in a position where its not your fault because your not in power is a pretty strong position. Once you get into power and you have no excuse for performing your promises is when you have only one direction to go. Beck calls them like he see's them, either side or between. As long as the White House has to respond directly to him he will be a major factor in a big way. Sorry
