      No, they won't. Bush gave exclusives rights for slave labor to Halliburton.

      When asked how he liked children, W.C. Fields said,
      "It depends on the way they are cooked."

      I think W.C. is funnier the Beck. I mean this was a joke right???

          "Another one of us PA boys," who'd "rather be dead than in Philadelphia?" :)

            As a native Philadelphian, I can understand his feeling that way.

            I believe he proposed the line for his tombstone as "I'd rather be in Philadelphia", meaning that living there was slightly better than being dead. The attitude towards the city is pretty similar, though.

      Yet he worships the founding generation of politicians who actually bought and sold slaves.

      I used to think Beck could at least lay claim to a few Howard Bealesque qualities but he's WAY too crazy for even that.

      OKAY Glenn, since ACORN was abused by you guys for wanting to help prostitution of young girls, I believe it is your duty to name these "politicians" and report them to the authorities. As a matter of fact, just let us know who and WE will notify the police. It is your DUTY to name names, if not, you should be arrested for conspiracy to commit the sale of children into slavery. Just like you want ACORN disbanded for conspiracy to commit whatever the hell you said.

      Becky, you have 24 hours before I report you to the police.

      And with millions banked away, Glenn Beck knows a little something about slavery.

      Always thinking about the little guy. Thank you Glenn.

        Yes, I am sure he knows all the current prices, and he is a corporate slave himself. I wonder what his price was?

      Beck is right, only politicians like Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham and Jim Demint are truly looking out for the welfare of the people! The Republican party is the only party without politicians who aren't bought and paid for by corporations. I know that bc Glenn wasn't complaining about these sorts of things when Bush and the GOP controlled all three branches of government!

      Nobody knows the trouble he's seen, nobody knows his sorrow.

      Seriously, listening to Beck is like listening to Porky Pig after he's gacked up a kilo of coke. First, Moody's rates bonds for corporations, not countries. Second, Moody's is partly responsible for the crash of 2008, as it was their brainchild to rate the junk securities of Bear Sterns and other about to fail corporations as AAA, meaning highest quality available. Third, what study is he citing where only 35% of the public wants, what, healthcare reform? The public option? Cookies? Who knows, because he doesn't say.

      Beck is behind the curves of history, knowledge and sanity.

      And this is coming from a guy who's religion gets its marching orders from a magic hat.

      Sort of like Penn and Teller starting a hare-brained religion by pulling a rabbit out of a hat.

      Stupid is as stupid does.

      I think Glenn can see the bigger picture but he's still an idiot. He's like the guy who comes in the game and scores in the other team's basket whenever you pass him the ball. He makes a good point about the overall problem and then attacks the things that will help the ordinary person out....he is a shill for big business but somehow always says hes for liberty and we the people. Glenn has a corner on the market for missing the point.

      "Second, Moody's is partly responsible for the crash of 2008, as it was their brainchild to rate the junk securities of Bear Sterns and other about to fail corporations as AAA, meaning highest quality available."

      Thank you. The subprime crisis should have shown anyone with a functioning brain that the rating agencies are as much in the tank as the firms they are rating. Of course, Glenn missed that completely - quelle surprise!

      "Third, what study is he citing where only 35% of the public wants, what, healthcare reform? The public option? Cookies? Who knows, because he doesn't say."

      He's citing the lying f****** moron survey, with results reported straight from his ass. The two most recent polls (released yesterday, IIRC), show support for a public option ranging from a low of 50% (USA Today) to a high of 57% (Gallup).

      New Truism- If Beck says it with conviction, it's certainly a lie.
