        That must have hurt Glenn's pretty little head having to admit he was wrong about something...

        Then again, it is not much to get excited over... it was afterall a fellow circus act from Fox Noise, so I doubt it hurt that much!

      It only took him two months to realize it. The troglodyte mind works at its own pace I guess.

        Actually, considering the troglodyte mind, especially Beck's, I'm surprised that it was two months. I would think with any troglodyte, especially Glenn Beck, it wouldnt happen at all, or it would take at least two years.

        THANK YOU.

      Robert Gibbs always calls on Major Garrett. At Presidential Press Conferences Obama did call on Garrett the first two or three times he did one. Obama did not call on Garrett at a few of his press conferences later on, which you perhaps cant blame him for, considering the station he works for. At the first Presidential Press Conference in the East Room Major Garrett actually asked Obama a question about an international currency. Garrett was basically repeating talking points from the One-Worlders and hte militia types who keep canned foods in a bunker in their backyard. He was asking one of those Alex Jones-type questions in front of the world at an East Room Press Conference. Why would Obama call on him after a question like that.

      THANK YOU.

        Not if you collect all your kids' candy at the end of the night and keep it for yourself. That's conservatism!

      Beck should also admit he needs some help. He is mentally deranged.

      I will admit that Beck does a really good job at selling the idea that everything in the world revolves around himself and his audience.

      I mean, do you realize that there are a lot of folks out there that live the Beck lifestyle. They trust Beck as they would their own church. The Church of Beck, if you will. That they are on a crusade against the enemy. They aren't entirely sure who the enemy is - but they know Obama is the leader of it.

      It's all very, very sad.

      Anyone who watches the WH press briefings knows that Garrett asks his share of questions.

      Apparently Beck is not among the viewing audience.

      Beck also seems to be blaming the WH for pointing out his false claims about Garrett. Looks to me as if it was actually a NY Times writer who called him out.

      Mr. Beck, whose 5 p.m. program consistently draws three million viewers, is a “cultural phenomenon now,” Mr. Shine said. But this success has come at a price: he is the source of considerable discomfort for Fox’s journalists, especially for false statements on his program. In August, for instance, Mr. Beck claimed that Mr. Garrett was “never called on” at White House press briefings, but Mr. Garrett had asked a question that day.

      All this means to his followers is that he's right on everything unless he apologizes for being wrong...because...wait for it...(weep)(weep)...he loves his country. I'am still waiting for him to define "white" culture.

      Of all that Glenn Beck has said, which is obviously controversial...this is the best they can say he is wrong on? Call Beck an idiot, moron, whatever...how is he wrong? Of all these blogs I've only seen ad hominem arguments...

      Here's Glenn Beck speaking with Major Garrett about Obama answering Garrett's questions. In it Garrett says that he has been called on at three out of four press conferences.

      Beck claiming that Obama doesn't call on Garrett was typical dishonesty on Beck's part.

      Beck just turns my stomach... What a pompous A-Hole. If Glenn Beck was required to tell the truth he would be unemployable. He is still nothing more than a morning zoo radio shock jock who got lucky.
