Beck now attacking individual members of ACORN's advisory board

I forgot. Was hostility one of the 9 virtues or the 12 values?

"And do you think Beck's fans can actually FOLLOW what he's saying?"

Of course not, that's why he doesn't really say anything. He just recites his innuendos in a sing-songy sarcastic tone so that his viewers will know that it's "something really really bad", without having to expend all that intellectual energy that they'll need for watching the WWE Smackdown.

Imagine, an advisory board member planning a party.... The horror. The horror.

I can follow him just fine. Also-- I'm increasingly hostile towards ACORN, too. If you aren't after what has come out about them, you should be.

At some point the attention and or the so called high ratings, went to his head. He wanted to be bolder and more outrageous than his fellow TV and radio hosts. As a result he went so far out "there" he doesn't know how to get back. I think he is desperate and scared.

Of course his fans can't follow what he's saying. How could anyone? It is a mish mash of scary sounding words to them and they assume Beck has to know what he is talking about. After all he gets paid millions to say this crap on his TV and radio show.

ACORN was the company that shut down power plants in California and defrauded the state for billions of dollars, right?

And Enron was the not-for-profit organization where people said outrageous stuff to a pretend pimp, correctly?


No wonder there's so much outrage over ACORN.

Why does Glenn have to visit S.F. for you to divulge incriminating evidence against him that will 'put him away'? Lay it on us. What authority does someone who posts on this site have that will accomplish what you say? Come on, lay it on us. Make Woodward and Bernstien proud.

What the - ?

ACORN has done some good things to help people down on the lower rungs on the social ladder who don't have political clout and who usually get screwed. But it's a huge operation and some ACORN workers have not acted properly. If laws have been broken then the people who broke the law should be prosecuted.

But it is difficult for many of us on the left to see this obsessive right wing outrage as nothing more than typical right wing partisan exaggeration and distortion...dishonesty, if you will. First of all, ACORN is not the huge story the right wingers would like everyone to believe. It is simply a vehicle by which partisan right wingers attempt to dishonestly portray Brarack Obama as the ring leader of an allegedly subversive group trying to turn America into a Marxist state. It's laughable...at least to rational people it is, but not to the salivating, hyperventilating, partisan right wing crowd who will say anything and believe anything to take down the nation's first African American President who, by the way, is doing a damn good job juggling the problems that were left by the moronic George W. Bush and the evil manipulator Dick Cheney.

Also, why is the partisan right wing crowd so worked up about ACORN while we have not heard a peep from them when there have been far more serious abuses by right wing groups. Take for example Blackwater and its founder, the hyper-religious, Evangelical Christian crusader, Erik Prince. His father was a major donor to right wing religious advocacy groups such as Family Research Council (Gary Bauer) and Focus On The Family (James Dobson) and the Prince family have been major right wing Republican donors.

Prince's security firm, Blackwater, was awarded lucrative contracts to provide security for U.S. interests in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been involved in nothing but major controversy. Blackwater employees have killed innocent civilians and conducted themselves as Christian crusaders hell bent on stomping out Islam...which is not their job. Prince has been accused of illegally smuggling weapons into Iraq which have ended up in the hands of terrorists. Prince has also been accused of the murder of individuals cooperating with federal authorities investigating Prince and Blackwater. How many Glenn Beck fans and FOX News devotees have anything more than just a passing familiarity with Blackwater? How many of them would even recognize Erik Prince's name.

Blackwater is just one example. I could name more instances where FOX and other partisan right wing propagandists have completely ignored the serious criminal actions by right wing groups that are far worse than anything ACORN has done. It's typical right wing hypocricy and dishonesty.

If ACORN is guilty of any illegal activity then it should be prosecuted. But to be be fair, ACORN is not under the control of Barack Obama and it is not a subversive organization dedicated to overthrowing the American way of life...unless, of course, you consider the subjugation of poor people tha American way of life.

But keep listening to Glenn Beck and getting yourself worked up while corporate America keeps taking money out of your pockets with the help of the Republican Party. You people are such fools...

"Do we not have free speech in this Country (sic)?" bvd720

Of course we do. The question is, if you support free speech, then why are you telling people at this site not to exercise THEIRS? Does the concept of free speech apply only to political regressives, liars, and right wing morons? Do you really imagine that you and your media heroes are being denied free speech when someone else ANSWERS your smears and distortions. Is that REALLY how you think it works?

Now, go watch Glenn Dreck so that he can slowly drain your soul.

BTW, you might want to go read the 3 part story on the REAL Glen Beck on Salon.com. This is a man who called a former friend's wife on live radio shortly after she had had a miscarriage and made FUN of the fact that she had had a miscarriage ON LIVE RADIO. Why? Because his former friend was a competitor on a rival radio station.

Great guy you follow.

"Do we not have free speech in this Country? ACORN is corrupt and everyone knows it.

Go watch Chris Matthews so he can spit on you."

Once again....What the - ?

What in the heck does free speech or Chris Matthews spit have to do with any of this?

That's precisely the point. BTW the Beck count is four. Three policemen in Pittsburgh and one Census taker in Kentucky.He's hiding behind the Constitution to incite violence.

Someone may have already done it . . . the census worker whose body was found hanged with the word "FEDS" scrawled on his chest, ironically, on Beck's phony day of "unity," 9/12/09.

Makes you wonder about his audience's standards.

Obnoxious smug delivery, like that of an 11 year old sarcasm, dripping contempt -- you sure you're not talking about Olbermann?

Amen. You go girl!

Is that an example of the intellect that the progressives claim to be in possession of ? You should be proud.

Still trying to push yesterday's talking points. You may want to try redstate, they believe any conspiracy theory of the reich. Here we liberals tend to deal with facts, something you prove devoid of every day...
