        Becky doesn't want to know where I want to stick MY torch. (Hint: As Limbaugh puts it, Beck will have to bend over and grab his ankles......)

        And, here's a little wager... if a Republican gets back in the White House, the Troglodytes will learn to love deficit spending again. What was it Cheney said... "Deficits don't matter"?

        Loved the tax cuts, and had a problem with his wars, as well as his bailouts

      Now, I'm aware as much as anyone that Glenn Beck is a psycho and is a tumor on the ass of America. However, every single example of "addiction" he cites is in reference to a Republican politician's well known fall from grace. He's talking about John Ensign, Larry Craig, Gov. Sanford, Mark Foley, among others.

      For once, he might be directing his zombie horde to go after the real culprits. I hope they listen, and try to hold their own leaders accountable. Mostly, I hope Beck's influence results in a Third Party. Kind of like a kid's table for American politics, so that the adults could get a little peace and quiet.

      Is Beck trying to inspire violence in his listeners? So not the teabagger movement has received its signal to raise the level of their protests one more notch.

      He mentions by name the Democrats who committed misdeeds while in office, but most of the things that he mentions at the beginning of the clip were perpetrated by Conservative politicians.
