      Just a another loyal American patriot defending the constitution against tyranny... Yep, perfectly normal behavior...nothing strange about it at all. Uh-huh, perfectly normal...

      I would like to thank the right wing for changing the standards for normal behavior. Now excuse me while I go protest the communist takeover of my local supermarket.

          This is the latest post for this video...

          GenevaPilgrim,

          You're so wrong a/b Beck. I like ya, I agree w/ U a/b most things, but to want Glenn to quit Fox, so he can call Obama out on his B-certificate is not going to do anything except leave all of us less knowledgeable a/b Dunn Jones being communists, that ACORN is a shady org. & Glenn gives us the tools to do that b/c we can post his videos on our pages so others can see. Fox may have told them not to touch the BC issue, but Glenn Loves this country & you can see it in his face & see it in his eyes.


          Gotta love the intellectual trailer trash of the internet, at least as it pertains to the posts and replies (Youtube)...

            its jus intriguing to me cuz every resonable person knows that the birth certificate issue is the underlying issue of why the far right have so much hatred for president obama!...

            beck and FOX as a whole knows this that why they make "innuendos" with their daily content and commentary...BUT of course they r not (especially BECK) going to touch the subject diretly with a ten foot pole they don't want to loose thier faithful followers who obviously don't have basic deductive reasoning skills! lol!

            if they give the "birthers" legs then the "liberal" media will finally get the guts and have a reason to call them(fox) out for wat they r! (wishful thinking! lol!)...but then of course if they directly and persistently slam the "birthers" u know all hell is gonna break loose!

            sad and pathetic!

              I sort of disagree. The main and basic reason that the right has such a problem with Obama, is that he's a democrat. That's all they needed to get themselves started down the path, the other stuff just keeps popping up.

                  Oh, I think it might have even been worse (if that's possible) if Hillary had one. Remember, we had to sit through all of her past "misdeeds" during the campaign and all, we'd just see more re-hasing of that, plus a good shot of more made up stuff. And instead of overt racism, we'd just have large scale misogyny.

      I'm telling you guys, Imus will NOT be on Fox very long. Imus, love him or leave him, will say whatever he feels like saying whenever he feels like saying it. He may be a registered Republican, but if he's ticked at one of 'em, he'll blast 'em. He will not toe the Fox line.

      More stupidity from a conservative who want to keep the birth certificate lie alive (in the spotlight).
      It's funny how white people can say the most ridiculous things imaginable about the black President and still maintain their social status in life. It doesn't matter how obvious the lie or hate is as long as it is directed at the black man (President).
      People like Bo Dietl and conservative idiots are kept in the spotlight despite the lunacy they espouse.
      For example: Glen Beck make things up and calls the President of the United States a racist and he is not held accountable for it even though the accusation is totally unfounded. Mind you, Glen Beck is a white Talk show host and the President is a black man.
      They have absolutely no respect for this President and they have brainless cult like followers. This makes them dangerous and yet nothing is done to curve this kind of talk. The worse part is they air these pundits/demons during prime-time.
      These people have no problem with being wrong or lying and disparaging a black President because they fear losing nothing. If Glen Beck can boost that he intend to bring down this administration, while calling the President a racist, and keep his job, why would other hateful white people bite their tongue? There is no REAL deterrent or penalty for stupidity and hate in white society, as long as whites are the initiator and arbitrator.

      This has to be a classic birther moment that we should all cherish for days to come. This is the type of clip you really ought to download to your computers and keep for humor and comedy value later when all is said and done and the bill is passed.

      The only worthwhile thing Bo Dietl has ever done was his role in "Goodfellas" as the officer who performs the final arrest of Ray Liotta in his driveway.

      "Freeze, motherf**ker, don't you move or I'll blow your f**king head off!"

      After watching the movie for the thousandth time last year, I realized that, yes, that is indeed Bo Dietl.

      Can we please just stop talking about these idiots and start ignoring the reich completely? They have nothing to say, nothing to contribute. Not a single intelligent thought!

      The whole media business needs to forget about assuming there is a 2 party political system. That is just not true anymore. There are Dems and then there are whackos! There IS not 'other' party any more.

        I agree partially, but I would like to include a third group. There are progressives, Democrats (whatever they have seemed to devolve to), and lunatics (a species once known as conservatives).

      While I agree with patronizing this lunatic, I fear that it doesn't work as well if you're wearing a cowboy get-up, or maybe I'm wrong, and it makes it even worse to get schooled by a man confusing casual Friday and Halloween...

      It's a sad state of affairs when Don Imus is the one calling right-wing conspiracy theorists out for their insane comments. Nothing against Don Imus, but shouldn't someone on the right like BillO or someone from Fox's "News" shows come out and tell everyone to knock this stuff off. I do have to commend Imus though for shutting this guy down.

      Oh my God, lol. I was afraid that that guy was going to have a heart attack right there, or that he was going to get up and try to run over and tackle Imus.

      People need to let this go. But, if they would rather not, okay. We can say Obama was born in Kenya. Even though he wasn't. But, let's go back to the last election. Okay, let's say they found out that Obama was born in Kenya. Automatically, he was disqualified. Okay, then it would be between Nader and McCain. Whoops! McCain's born in Panama, he isn't technically a citizen either. Okay, well that just leaves Ralph Nader. The Republicans would be mad about that, too, I'm sure.

      I think this whole thing with the Republicans against Obama is just sour grapes. :p
