      And, to quote Limbaugh, "If they didn't make you, they can't break you."

      If Limbaugh made you, Glenn, he can easily break you.

      These guys love to talk about themselves don't they?

      Everything is "I, I, I".

      And in the end, and this clip is a perfect example, they spout meaningless self affirming drivel.

        It's a conservative ego circle jerk. They call each other "great americans" "great one" "good people" and my favorite "patriot". In reality I'm willing to bet these people have some of the worst insecurities you can imagine. When they start boosting themselves up like they do I almost feel sorry for them, because I know their psyche is telling them they NEED that in order to make it through the day.

          In my view, the only patriots in this country wear/have worn the uniforms of the armed forces of the US.

          Have any of these idiots ever served their country? Their country, maybe (whatever that may be), but not the United States.

      This is Limbaugh's country? Then why no Republican majority or executive branch? If he is so all-powerful, why isn't he a kingmaker? Oh yeah, because 95% of this country knows that Limp and Beck are insane. The rest, unfortunately, have purchasing power and skew the numbers.

        Beck misspoke, he owes his country club to Limbaugh:

        [http://www1.whdh.com/images/news_articles/389x205/091013_swastika_obama_golf.jpg]

        His fat bank accounts aside, THIS is the sum total of Beck's "success". THIS represents all that Beck brings to the discussion.

          Oh, my. The poor sap who sacrificed part of his field to make his wacky political statement couldn't even get the swastika correct. The Nazi swastika is designed, appropriately enough, as though it turning to the right.

          Maybe I should give him more credit. He did, after all, spell the word "I" correctly.

          Its almost imposible to decifer(?) what is it supposed to mean.
          "I enlighten obama"? "I Nazi Obama?"

      WOW! Rush Limbaugh personally gave birth to the entire Conservative movement! His vagina must be so tired. No wonder he got so fat.

      Glenn, Rush didn't save this country. Heck, he wouldn't even fight for it, know what I mean? But, you live in the imaginary country of your mind, and facts are stopped at the border. That fact free diet isn't doing your brain any favors, though your sycophantic boot-licking may help your ratings a bit. And, that's really all that matters, right? The paycheck and the ratings?

      Beck and Limbaugh remind me of a professional wrestling tag team--two guys that are all buddy-buddy now, but who will eventually have a bloody falling out. If that happens, it may be hard to know whom to cheer for, other than the hope that there's plenty of carnage.

            Really?
            Alrighty:

            1) By the tone of your posts, you tend to troll more than you post. When you do post, it's not to deliver a substantive argument, but rather to take cheap shots at your betters.

            2) Your grammar and syntax indicate that you have no more than a high school education. The lack of commas, repetitive phrasing and general dearth of sophistication imply a wariness with subtlety and circumspection.

            3) You hurl the intended pejorative "liberal" and maintain some awareness of a factual matrix regarding our President that you neither bother to support nor do you maintain its integrity when challenged.

            4) You visit and post to a site dedicated to an activity, and then you deride the other members of the site as pathetic for engaging in exactly the activity for which the site is maintained. This obvious contradiction implicates either your intelligence or your sanity.

            5) By statement, "You are clearly not a conservative...if you support this president...," you show yourself to be a tool, not a conservative. Conservatives, the "real" conservatives, adhere to pretty strict ethical codes, including, especially, never criticizing the President of the United States during time of war. It's one of the many, many admonishments we liberals received all throughout the reign of Bush.

            I could do this all day, but my lunch break is over, so, la.

            That's too easy.

            Do you agree with Beck that Limbaugh is responsible for the great USA, and that he (Limbaugh) had made it safer?

            Do you have anything else better to do yourself than to come on here, and get torn apart day after day?

        not all conservatives......given that i myself am one, just against guys like limbaugh, beck, anyone at fox news basically, and anyone connected to tea parties, town hall disruptions, and so forth.

        now if any of these people suddenly decided to stop the insane rhetoric and decided to be civil. i wouldn't rail against them.

        what is truly pathetic, aside from your statement and yourself cause your support these knuckleheads, is that your complaining about us ranting against these guys when you rant against anything the president does at all times no matter how it benefits you.

            So in your mindset a true conservative should NEVER agree with President Obama because he's the most liberal we've ever had??

            You wanna back that statement up with some facts??

            Gitmo is still open; rendition still in operation; DADT was not overturned YET; doesn't support same sex marriage; juggling 2 wars; Gates still has a job . .

                        Do you really take such pride in your ignorance of history that you just absolutely HAVE to share it with the rest of us? You clearly haven't the least concept about the Great Depression, the factors leading up to it, the policies enacted during the New Deal, the beneficial results that we experienced, and how FDR's policies dovetailed into our efforts in WWII. And you do realize that it was FDR who prepared us for that war, don't you? And you do realize that it was his deficit spending that eventually pulled us out of the Depression, don't you?

                        Now, what about Truman?
