      I almost fell out of my desk chair with this one. Beck might be onto something though, I mean, if anyone knows about be a propagandistic arm for something, it's Glen Beck.

      Neither words and ideas nor bullets and guns are good things when they are in your hands, Beck.

      Propaganda arm of the white house? Did he really say that? You know that the Bush white house administrator came out the other week telling the world that FOX received memos from bush's admin saying exactly what they wanted you to tell your audience and you did so with zero disclosure and probably didnt even have trouble falling asleep at night. Now of course, everyone is on the democrat side except you - Ny times, msnbc, cnn, maybe nbc too? How about everyone else is actually media and you are lunatics?

      A ridiculous story that can even be described as wild as some of becks conspiracy theories came out in the last day or so about a huge scandal involving Blackwater in which Iraqi officials were possibly payed millions in hush money so blackwater can continue to operate in iraq after murdering people illegally. Even more disturbing, the bush white house had numerous connections to black water and urged Iraq leadership to allow them to stay as a paramilitary force prompting some to even ask if Bush officials could have been involved in this? WILL FOX EVEN COVER THIS STORY? Or would you rather harp on about ACORN and Van Jones for the next 3 years or target some more administration officials.

      Wonder if Reporters at the New York Times have some kind of a "juicy", "earth-chattering" news story coming out soon about Glenn Beck and FoxNews? Uh, oh. LOL.

      That's rich, considering he has been calling Obama and anyone associated with the WH extreme radicals for well over a year. If you subsistuted Fox with MSNBC & NYT and the WH with GOP, then he was spot on. Projection seems to be #1 in the conservative playbook followed by socialist/communist/fascist/nazi/unamerican accusations. Aren't people getting tired with all this negativity and we are less than a year into the 1st term.

      Words and ideas replaced guns and bullets when people had the idea to yell "fire" in a crowded theater or to incite others to commit acts of violence against others (the KKK for example). Last time I checked, these types of words and ideas were not protected by the 1st Amendment because people like Beck made it inappropriate to do so.

      People need to exercise a little responsibility. You don't get on the air and broadcast hate to 3 million people. The sad thing is that Beck can't distinguish his hate speech, which goes out to millions, from the hate speech of a lone guy, standing on the street corner yelling at the top of his lungs. I really wish the people at Fox would take a second to consider what they are doing and how many people it affects.

        O, they do, and the more people it effects, the more money they make. That's all they care about.

      It continues to amaze me how good Beck, Hannity, et al. are at projection.

      And Fox News Channel is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican National Committee with Rupert Murdoch as a figurehead owner. Why else was Roger Ailes seen going to the RNC headquarters every day that Bush was in office. To get the daily Talking Points and Marching orders from Fox's handlers.
