      Whoops, Glenn, you forgot the 'context' of that claim. You know, the dozen or so times a day that "Soros' people" (I'm assuming you're trying to suggest MMFA here?) catch you being deceptive.

      He doesn't remember what three clips he took out of context? What a disingenuous jackass! You're on national television calling the President of the United States a traitor and you don't remember what you said? Unbelievable! This man has no conscience!

        When you indiscriminately fling poo you really can't be expected to remember where every bit of it came from, or where it was aimed, when some of it just happens to hit a target.

      Glennie, you and your posse, your homeboys, are just nasty little creeps. You deserve all the criticism aimed at you and then some. You deserve to be sent home to sulk and conspire in private. Take Pat and Stu with you. But maybe they won't come and laugh at all your jokes if you aren't paying them.

      So, in the world of all things Beck--playing clips out of context and putting a willfully distorted spin on them; what's the big deal?

      MMFA playing Beck's clips in context with no creative editing; GEORGE SOROS IS EVIL!

      The man is a clod and the people who listen to his foolishness and nod along without questioning are even bigger clods.

      Well, it's just been announced that Sherrod is suing Breitbart . . . boy, I'd love to be the one doing the discovery on that case. There may be some BIG heads rolling before this is said and done.

        My guess is that it won't see the light of a courtroom, if I know my Repubs and their money lust.

          Oh, I don't know. I don't think Sherrod is in it for the money. It will settle ONLY if she agrees to settle.

            I'd love to see this go to court and hopefully be broadcast live.

            The very idea of watching Breitbart testify in his own defense under the eyes of lawyers and a judge who won't put up with his nonsense puts a big grin on my face.

      I think the point Glenn, the big point, is that viewed objectively your positions are all false. The world is not as you describe it. Your statements mislead, they mischaracterize, they delude, they incite, and they are not reality.

      Everything, every last thing about you down to your last cufflink, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, is a lie, Glenn.

      Got it?

      I don't know what three clips they were. This from Mr. The University of I Don't Remember.

      Glenn: Can't you come up with something better than "context"? You are wearing out that word. Just because you are the Howard Beale Mini-Me, you aren't allowed any slack in the matter of predictablity....you have become such a yawn.

      So, in the case of the Clinton clip, their defense is "You don't need to hear the context - it couldn't possibly matter, could it?"

      And did they ever get back to that Obama quote after the break? If so, what was their defense of that one?

      I completely disagree with you....Glenn Beck hasn't gotten the phone call from the White House yet...so clearly there is nothing that needs correcting (that he hasn't already corrected).

      Will any dissent appear on this site or are you censoring anyone who disagrees with you...
