          They're all just Fred Savage in a people suit. He also appears as Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh.

      I hope he was also talking to people in the MMS and Interior Departments. I want some people fired for this disaster.

      "Beck: When Obama says he wants to know whose ass to kick, he was "speaking to William Ayers""
      And when Beck wants to know whose ass to kick, he reads 70-year old books by Nazi-loving racists.

          Didn't he say he didn't read the book? Which goes to show his endorsement is worthless in terms of real merit.

          Maybe they could televise that on C-SPAN. Talk about "Must See TV."

      Since when have we had a strong anarchist movement in the US? Not since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and even then it was more of a fringe in the efforts to organize for better working conditions.

      The anarchists believed that government, any government, was in itself an abusive device used by the rich and powerful to oppress and exploit the working poor.

      Because many of the men and women working in sweatshops during this time were foreign born, there was native hostility toward their attempts to organize. The judge in the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti refered to the two Italian born men as "anarchist b@st@rds."

        The closest thing we have to anarchists today are the teabaggers and Becky's "9/12" crowd.

      of course he was beck - he was probably talking to hitler too and stalin as well. I wish beck had one reasonably intelligent caller today that would point out to him that obama was quoting from the question he was asked - if any one of us went on a rant, using manipulated video to justify saying some ridiculous things we wouldnt have said otherwise and later found out the clip was taken out of context, how stupid/embarrassed would we feel?? Luckily, glenn is too stupid to feel stupid.

      Just goes to show the reactionary, talking point that Glenn Beck really is.

      He pretends he's outside the political machine, but he's part of it like the rest of these talking heads.

      If he would have watched the entire clip, he would have seen that Matt Lauer actually set the stage by saying "You have been criticized for not getting angry, not kicking butt"

      President Obama's response was that he was getting together with experts, not as an academic exercise, but to find out who's ass he had to kick.

      It's a sane and reasoned response... why the right creates this false outrage really is ridiculous.

      Total government or anarch-communist, that is all Beck can see in his near-complete intellectual blindness. It is a very, very simple world, full of hyper-complicated conspiracies against him.

      This is full blown paranoid schizophrenia.

      On FNC right this moment, they are having a "discussion" about the President looking for someone's butt to kick and not taking responsibility himself. Sigh...

      More Stupid talk from the biggest hypocrite on television today. These idiots (Fox and hosts) can't let the past go, especially when race is involved.
      It is clear Beck have a problem with this President and it is clear Beck speaks for the rest of the racist nutjobs at Fox News. That would explain how Beck has not been fired yet.
      It's a shame that Bill Ayers and most of the people Beck and Fox News attacks are weak, otherwise he would have long been put in his place. All the people Fox News attacks have a right to defend themselves, but they don't. They let these racist bastards get away with scandalizing their names, over and over again.
      I know the President can't response to these childish liars, but Bill Ayers, Van Jones and others can. Until they retaliate Fox News will continue to use their name in vain.

        im sure these facts about bill ayers-obama "connection" have been printed here before but it never hurts to reiterate the truth.bill ayers was a reformed radical ,who won some civic prizes for his service to the city of chicago. he and obama were connected in that they were both appointed to serve on a commission together. appointed by a reagan govt official.obviously you can extrapolate these facts to infer that obama is a bomb throwing anarchist......if you live in glenn becks head

      After listening to a few of these beck clips, I still have no idea what he's talking about. How can communists also be anarchists? They are the complete opposite of each other
