          We agree. He is similar to Sen. Joseph McCarthy. They are both great Americans who persevered through attacks to warm America about subversives.

          America is better off for having Joe McCarthy, Paul Revere, and Glenn Beck to warm us about dangerous subversives who want to harm America.

        At least Glenn documents what he says. You make outrageous claims and when pressed to produce quotes documenting your lies, you refuse to. Glenn is a far more reputable source than you.

        If I am wrong, prove me so by producint the quotes you promsied nearly a month ago.

          Really? Beck frequently doesn't document what he says; in other instances his "documentation" is simply wrong.

          Here he has chosen to mention a person that Obama knew in Hawaii during his high school years and to smear Pres. Obama's mother and grandparents. Beck chooses to ignore the preponderance of evidence that is relevant. For example:

          Why was Obama elected President of Harvard Law Review? According to fellow members, it was because the Review was sharply divided into conservative and liberal camps, and he was the one candidate that conservatives felt would listen to them. He listened to the views of some of the brightest conservative minds of his generation and weighed their arguments. No chance to hear anything but Marxism, as Mr. Beck says? Hardly!

          Pres. Obama taught for approximately twelve years at the University of Chicago Law School. Of the major law schools, University of Chicago is the most conservative in the country. No opportunity to hear anything but Marxism? Hardly!

          Pres. Obama seems to have tremendous regard for his grandmother. She was a bank vice-president. Being vice-president in a privately-owned bank makes it almost impossible to be a Marxist, since Marxists believe that capital should be owned in common. One doesn't generally find bankers storming the barricades. Mrs. Dunham was not a Marxist, and find it a bit hard to believe that her husband, an insurance agent, was either.

          I could go on and on. I have never heard Beck give any evidence that Pres. Obama believes in common ownership of the means of production and transportation. That, of course, is the definition of Marxism. Beck can call anyone anything he wants to because he doesn't ever define his terms. Mr. Beck just hurls names at people.

          Mr. Beck regularly takes some tiny sliver of fact (if that) and draws outlandish conclusions from it. Facts mean nothing; shouting insults to get attention and raise ratings means everything, It increases Mr. Beck's personal economic wealth, but does a serious disservice to political discourse.

          Breck utilizing quotes does not equate to him being factually correct. I would ask you to post whatever you think that he was right about and his quote and I am fairly certain that I will be able to correct his deviated rewording of historical facts. I have read some of his statements and I have yet to find one that he was actually correct one, especially on the viewpoints of our founding fathers.

          So if you are a supporter of Beck and his thinking (or lack thereof) then post his words of enlightenment and let's see how it stands up to unfiltered history and truth.

            I have not called for the destruction of the US - that is a blatant lie. I love my country - because I do this is why I want Obama to fail. Obama's success = American's failure and Obama's failure = America's success.

            He wants to bring America down - I want him to fail in his attempt to do so.

            I absolutely don't want him to be president (I wouldn't want Hugo Chavez to be president of the US either). He is not qualified, he has no experience, and he is anti-American.

            Does everyone who voted for mccain-PALIN hate their country because they didn't want Barry to be president.

        Obviously in this case Obama does.

        Here is Frank Marshall Davis' dossier:

        Frank Marshall Davis FBI file

        Stanley Ann Dunham did indeed believe in critical theory:

        Stanley Ann Dunham and critical theory

        Obama's mother a Marxist

        Ann Dunham the mother of Barack Obama - cultural Marxist and left-wing activist

        And you people think I never document anything.

        Obama's alleged father, B Hussein Obama Sr, was a Communist, an alcoholic, and a bigamist. No real man walks out on his family.

        Obama's mother was a Marxist.

        This is from where BHO comes. This is his foundation. Of course he is a Marxist. He was never exposed to pro-American views. It is no wonder he hates America.

        Children often agree with their parents. I know that I agree with 99.9999% of everything my parents ever told me. Sometimes when I thought they were wrong, I later learned that they were correct and I learned to trust them. As I gained maturity I never questioned anything my parents said.

        Parents are the greatest influence on children. My three year old daughter says "Yuck Yuck Yuck" whenever she sees BHO and his sh*t eating grin on TV. We NEVER taught her to say that. She picked it up on her own by observing her parents.

        We never discuss BHO to her - ever. However, she hides her piggy bank. When we ask her why, she says she hides it because she doesn't want Obama to come and steal her money. We NEVER taught her that, but this is proof that children do learn from their parents.

In fact, senior Fox management such as Roger Ailes and Ruppert Murcoch AGREE with Glenn. Most people at Fox as well as most Fox viewers agree with Glenn.

          And you're an idiot then, because Senator McCarthy was nothing but an ignorant piece of trash.

          Your statements about McCarthy and Paul Revere are perfect examples of your political and historical ignorance. McCarthy was a paranoid liar that used his words to promote political ideology that only proved to be detrimental to American politics and ruined the lives of many innocent Americans. His use of fear-mongering and lies are well documented.

          This kind of vitriolic irresponsibility is being used as a means to promote racism, stupidity, and division in it's under-informed viewers.
