      Glenn is deeply religious? Really? He is a lying sack of dog mess, and that he would put on this mock religiousity and righteous indignation to sell himself and his books is disgusting. If family is sacred to him, why is he on his second one? Where were they when you were drinking and drugging away decades of your life? What you are doing is disingenuous at best, if not down right evil. Putting untruths out may be done under the mistaken belief that they are true and still be moral. But to put out lies and call them truth and then defend them with lies, deceptions, and moral indignation is immoral, but to do this knowingly, and for your own personal gain is evil. I am firmly convinced that you are knowing lying and misrepresenting information to gain ratings for your show and to sell your books. You have no problem doing this to protect the huge, international corporation that you work for from scrutiny. You create lies and conspiracy theories about ordinaary working people to discredit them and to prevent them from getting ahead or from discrediting your corporate masters. But sooner or later, you will be recognized by the general public, including your deluded fans, for the malicious, vicious, souless corporate lackey that you truly are. On that day, I will applaud.

        Beck has to know he's lying...but the money's too good for him to stop. Regardless, he is definitely a seriously disturbed man...and he speaks with the absolute certainty of a nut job.

          Yes, he does. The other day, he was speaking about how low he had been and how he had bargined for a second chance. I can't help but wonder if his second chance was at the price of his soul. I am fairly religious myself, and while I don't exactly believe in an all-powerful evil deity called Satan, I do believe that evil exists and you can fall into, especially if you go looking, as Glenn did. The problem with being Faust is that there is a collection date, sooner or later.

              Well, if Glenn felt seriously challenged by Rush, or vice versa, I am sure they would have no problems rolling in the mud together. Neither one plays fair. Right now, they don't feel they are competing directly, but things could change. What a poo storm that would be.

          Wait a minute these guys have said these things they are very disturbing. One of them advocates animals should have legal representation to sue someone-- SAY WHAT?? Others advocate the ability to administer health care by age groups- between 15 and 55 get the best and the others are judged accordingly to feasibility.

          Look it up they have said these things.

          I have seen the clips he uses the exact clips with them saying these things, he don't just make it up.

          Again people with these beliefs don't not need to be in or around the White House helping make policy. I don't think the founding fathers had these people in mind to have a controlling interest in making policy, maybe participate.

        You can't devalue life, unless youre a shock jock making fun of a miscarriage. I'm so sick of this uneducated ex coke-head alcoholic pig who found god after he made his bucks making fun of people. What a joke. Humility doesn't make the bucks. He's getting a little too arrogant now and Sean Hannity had Michael Moore on? Tick, tick, tick...Intelligent America is sick of these lying bafoons. I hope the Rep party continues to distance themselves.

      Why the fascination with Orson Welles? Beck idolizes him, even named his production company Mercury Radio Arts as a half a$$ed tribute to Welles' Mercury Theater

      Yet Welles was a progressive Democrat and big supporter of FRD, the New Deal, government subsidizing the arts and strongly, pro-union.

      Welles would be verbally attacking this Messianic cretin if he were alive today.

      I did like Beck quoting Kant though. But you know what they say about him.

      "Immanuel Kant was a real pi$$ant
      Who was very rarely stable"

        Beck idolizes Welles because of War of the Worlds. The production was so great in that radio program that it actually made people think that the world was under attack. As any rational human being can clearly see, this is precisely what Beck is doing right now. He is doing whatever it takes to convince the American people to be very afraid. That the end is imminent. That anything can be justified because of our "justifiable" fear. Ironically, Welles himself would see right through this nonsense and see Beck for the digusting lack of humanity that he exhibits each and every day.

      "...I'm a deeply religious man..." Well, congratulations on that, Mr. Beck. If you're going to preach, I suggest you become a televangelist, rather than a political commentator or whatever it is you think you do at the moment. Your call to a return to 'old time religion' rings a bit hollow, however, in the face of your:

      Sexism
      Un-Americanism
      Paranoia
      Bearing false witness

      he's a deeply religious man.. now.

      before recently he was a raging cokehead who was hated by every person he every worked with. (Now hes just hated by most of the country.)

      funny how people "find god" after decades of being a horrible person, and then pretend they are a good person now.

      Sorry Glenn, cloaking yourself in Mormonism wont hide your true self, we all know who you are.

      Amazing. Beck is spouting off the same religious rhetoric that he rails against when denouncing the terrorists and their ideology. This smacks of Holy Terrorism to me. How can he honestly point at others and decry "Nazi!", then whack everyone else with his bible and still think he's above it all.

      Religious terrorism is not based on the religion, but on the fanaticism. Beck is a fanatic with a television feed and the only difference between his show and the Bin Laden tapes is lighting and set design.

      What America must realize is that they are just one country on a planet of nations. Putting too much faith in your own hype has been the downfall of many people in history. Only by working with other nations can they better themselves.

        Well of course not. Don't be silly. Studies show that children of terrorists grow up to be terrorists themselves. Better to nip this in the bud, bud. Or convert to Jesus. Whatever.
