      All I disagree with are the words "tomorrow" and "may".

      Umm, yeah Glenn, no matter what you do, it ain't gonna be the worst thing that has ever happened to the Republic of the US.

      I'd have to list WWI, WWII, Civil War, Katrina, and a bunch of other stuff WAYYYY ahead of anything you could produce.

        I agree with what you're saying (of course: it's self-evident) but he didn't say "that EVER happened to the republic."

        Hence my post below which says about the exact opposite of your, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure we have the same opinion RE Beck.

        There you have it.

        GLENN BECK IS ENCOURAGING HIS ALLIES TO FOLLOW THE WEATHERMAN MANIFESTO!

        So, I'm guessing tomorrow Glenn will be putting his name of the left/evil side of the chalkboard.

      Glenn, your mere presence on Television and Radio is among the worst things that happen to our Democratic Republic EVERY FREAKING DAY.

      I'm sure whatever you've got planned for tomorrwo will be little more than "par for the course" to anyone who's familiar with your schtick.

      That could be said about every single show.

      The reason he's saying this is because his "wildly popular" Founders Friday has been tanking in the ratings. Last week, they were around 1.7 million. He's been hovering in the 1.5 range for a while.

      This is just more Beck huckstering.

        Unfortunately, he has had a slight bounce in his ratings in the last week.

          But on "Founders Friday." He had 1.7 million on Friday. There is a trend of low ratings on Fridays . . . he needs people to watch those days because the crap he shovels most on those days tie into his new book and the 8/28 "rally" (book promo).

            I'm still looking for the day when his rating don't average more than 1.3 for the week. But yes, you are probably correct it will tie into his book and rally. We'll see.

      Beck does't denigrate other shows the same way he doesn't attack the families of his opponents.

      Beck anything that has to do with words coming out of your mouth is a horror to this country; but would not say it is, the worst thing that could happen to the republic. Really the in fighting within the Tea Party is funny, especially when group wants to repeal the 17th. Amendment and an other group realizes that is just stupid.

      Oh, I can hardly wait.

      What could it possibly be?

      Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate? "Proof" that Michelle Obama is a member of the Weather Underground? A picture of Barack Obama wearing a RED tie?

      I won't be able to sleep tonight, trembling in anticipation.

        'Course, it could be him telling his audience that he's decided he needs to spend more time with his family, given the impending destruction of all that is good and fair in the world.

          I never thought of that angle. Given Beck's delusions of relevance, he may actually believe that canceling The Glenn Beck Show would be the worst thing that could happen to the Republic.

          We should be so lucky.

            Canceling the Glenn Beck Show would be an annoyance to The Daily Show and The Colbert Report(less material that writes itself), but other than that....

      It's quite possible, Glenn. Generally it is a daily occurrence.

      Okay, you don't care who gets credit, but shouldn't you start to take responsibility for the violence that you inspire?

      This is amazing stuff... do the authorities let his writers and himself out of their padded rooms for hours each day or does this stuff have to be passed under the locked door..??

      I contend that growing up with beck as you dad, you WILL suffer all of your life from the backlash.. you will have to change your name, move to Iowa or the deserts of Southern New Mexico or maybe volunteer as one of the original volunteers for the pioneer program to colonize Mars.
