        "despicable"

        This the same guy who hates the victims of Katrina and the 9/11 victims' families, so I shouldn't be suprised

          He's not worth the time it takes to correct your typos, or well, this message either. What IS worth the time though is pointing out that every day he starts to look a little more like Breitbart. I bet one of them's a clone of the other.

          Yep - He has a lot of hate in him.

          Now it's time to get off the air. We got him bounced from his TV perch. We should be able to get radio stations to drop his show after this despicable comment.

          I compiled a list of the stations that carry Beck.

          If we call and tell them that we will not listen to their station or patronize their advertisers until Beck is gone, we could get a lot of those stations to drop him. His ratings are not all that good in many markets, and he's lost a half dozen stations already this year.

          Please check out the list to find the station nearest you. Then share the list with your friends and family.

          You know what I havent seen that is interesting? I havent seen another gay fellow claim support for Beck. I move among..unusual crowds so I usually here something along those lines, or at least one depraved pervert talking about a crush on someone they know is vile.

          Not once about Beck though. I think theres a decent chance that he may be the most vile person in the universe who doesnt realise they are vile. sure, Limbaugh knows he's a vile physical manifestation of hate congealed into a form that can make noise over radio, and O'reilly is actually a shed appendage of Mammon, but beck actually goes out in public like this.

        That is the first word that came to my mind, 'despicable'.

        At the same time, there are so many hate mongers out there on talk radio, local radio, etc. Without his Fox platform, Beck seems to be disappearing into that cloud of the hateful and irrelevant. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...

          Nah, you're correct. Beck made the easiest mistake to make: he aimed the device, and waited to hear the earth shattering kaboom without checking for rabbits first. So while he got some attention, he's already lost his best weapon, and he's already been pushed back into crazytown, having failed utterly. Like limbaugh, he has his audience, and he will cling to them. They are done increasing, and now begins the slow attrition.

          I dont normally condone wars of attrition, i think its a rather lame way to go about things. But they keep wanting to fight us, so we dont have much choice in the matter.

            "losing" suggests they ever "had" it. I have been fighting these monsters for a very long time. There seems to be within humanity...a switch. Its not obvious and you cant see it by looking but..it does seem to be a crazy switch.

            You can find the switches but their ultimate reasoning is always obscured. Like I can hit one switch by pointing out that people who believe vaccines cause autism may well be some form of complex mollusk, and ill get a thousand eemails about why mercury is poisonous, not one of them knowing the difference between ethylmercury and methylmercury. Then ill get a dozen about how mercury isnt poisonous but [goal post moving lie here.] followed by another thousand, half of which attempt to insult me by calling me a "jew."

            And they're all idiots.

            I saw a report on this a couple of weeks ago. The internet has given the conspiracy theorists a platform upon which to compare and create this crap. It's always been around, but it is more concentrated on the internet, and thus, more dangerous.

              Jones is hardly alone. There's a whole bunch of them that claim the OK City bombing involved an unnamed Iraqi who helped McVeigh "because U.S. right-wing groups didn't know how to build a fertilizer bomb."

              They're also hung up on Christian-Muslim battle in Vienna in the 16th century.

                It's really fascinating in a twisted way to see how they think. Beck, Jones, Corsi, and the rest of the conspiracy under every rock crowd operate on the bizarre principle where a hint of inconsistency in the "accepted" account of any event is conclusive proof of cover-ups or plots started by secret shadow societies and their centuries-spanning, global enslavement designs. Along with this, they ignore real science while pushing speculation and junk science.

                Ultimately with Beck's vile statement here, I think he's just riling up the crazies and looking to score some controversy ratings and create buzz.

            I saw the following exchange earlier this morning in comments at the Scottish Daily Record and was taken aback. I wondered where a conspiracy theory with an odd name like "false flag" starts. I saved the link because of the second post by the nutcase as the details got even weirder. After seeing montanabuddha's link to Alex Jones, I now get some idea.


            "ralphybough wrote:
            ....And now they are saying the murderer was "right wing". How is he right wing? If he hated muslims why did he shoot dead white Norwegian kids? And since when is support for the Knights Templar right wing?!

            It has all the hallmarks of a false flag government sponsored operation.""

            I'm actually a little surprised to see Jones play it that way. I used to listen to him...it took me a while but I eventually realized the core of his message was that there was a "zionist-masonic" conspiracy to deprive us of..well...everything. This idea, at least in it's modern form, is old and goes back through the JBS and ultimately to Hitler, Mussolini and Franco. This framework, up until the emergence of neo-conservatism, was core to all far right movements. Note that Jones despises neocons and proudly labels himself a "paleocon" in opposition to them.

            Of course, after realizing all this I stopped listening to him.

            Now just to play the devils advocate here...if Jones conspiratorial viewpoint was correct then this Norway terror attack would be the exact kind of thing that we would expect to see. As would Becks restoring BS in Israel rally. The fact that the far right in Europe, which has a long "proud" history of antisemitism, has been infiltrated by "zionist crusaders" would seem to validate Jones hypothesis that "there is no left and right" anymore.

            I guess that Jones is wimping out here and has determined that he can best capitalize using his standard "it's a false flag" response. Ultimately..I guess all this really proves is that Jones, like most of the right, really doesn't believe in anything but shameless self promotion and personal enrichment.

        Glenn I was never able to get exactly what your point is in all of those off-the-wall comments you are continually making. As to the your comment about the camp sounding a little like Hitler youth, the entire statement only seems totally bizarre to me. Your thinking is getting stranger and stranger. So I guess we can conclude that like many of the youth of th last few generations, you do no doubt have a brain damaged by chemicals because you are sounding more silly by the day. I simply believe that when a large number of these folks are dead now, it is only the Christian thing to do to tell ONLY those facts that you really know, and stop your infernal judgmental comments. Just thought you might benefit from some honest criticism. I trust it will help you get yourself back to having some credibility.

            I would send my kids to that if I was a mindless automaton convinced that every other political kids camp in the world indoctrinates kids into nazism, but not the one my kids go to.

            Here are some fun, non-political activities your kids can engage in at teabagger camp:

            Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the "banker" will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value.


            Here's another:

            Starting in an austere room where they are made to sit quietly, symbolizing Europe, the children will pass through an obstacle course to arrive at a brightly decorated party room (the New World).


            And another:

            Children will blow bubbles from a single container of soapy solution, and then pop each others' bubbles with squirt guns in an arrangement that mimics socialism. They are to count how many bubbles they pop. Then they will work with individual bottles of solution and pop their own bubbles.


            What kind of society creates political camps for kids again, Mr. Beck?

              What got me is all the costumes! Why do you have to be wearing a Tricorn? George Washington was a man of his time, he dressed in fine clothes, often ordering things from Europe, he was embarrassed by his country background and lack of formal education, he wanted to present himself as a sophisticated, cultured man, he was very, very concerned with turning Mt. Vernon into the model of an English country estate. Were he alive today, I am sure he would have fine suits of the best cut and the very smartest of smart phones with a high-tech, organic farm. Washington would find this need to run around in cheesy facsimilies of "olde tyme" clothes as pure madness.

              Children will win hard, wrapped candies to use as currency for a store, symbolizing the gold standard. On the second day, the "banker" will issue paper money instead. Over time, students will realize their paper money buys less and less, while the candies retain their value.


              Sounds like the hard candy will lose more value when they end up in the bellies of bored, white, rich kids.

          That was my first thought, and what I mentioned when I linked this to Facebook, recalling the one in the news recently that teaches supply-side economics.

          As for this camp in Norway: it is my understanding that the ruling party stands for inclusiveness and all the other ideals of liberal democracy. I'm pretty sure Norwegian families are free to send their kids to camps run by ideologues of other persuasions, and the country does have its fair share of political conservatives.

            This is the kind of thing you are usuall reasonable about. I think your take is simplistic. The idea of a political camp for kids is not in itself Hitler like. Rather the indoctrination is. To have a political camp that introduces children into the concept of a political world, teaching them how to look at it not WHAT to think would be in no way Hilter like. As usual things are more complicated than you present them

            I'm starting to think guys like you and Beck have an ulterior motive of softening the historical significance and level of revulsion people have for Hitler, the Nazis, the Third Reich, and the atrocities they committed by comparing everyone to Hitler and Nazis at the drop of a hat.

            Since the Norwegians haven't been declaring war across Europe and throwing "undesirable" ethnic minorities into gas chambers and death camps, I think it's an absurd and classless comparison when Beck says it, and equally absurd and without class when you defend him.

            In fact, isn't it fair to say that the apparent reason for this act of brutality was because Norway was being to accommodating to ethnic and religious minorities? Because they were being too "socialist"?

            Your statement is both disgusting, and without any intellectual merit. Your defense of this shock jock and his attempt to grab ratings and attention by being "provocative" is pathetic. I just can't believe there are Americans who listen and fall for the hate and garbage he spews.

        Except it's not for kids, it's for youth. Reports that actually talk about the victims put the age somewhere between mid-teens to early twenties. I think, once your fifteen, you can make a decision to go on a politically-themed summer retreat with like-minded people.

        For it to be "Hitler-like", there would have to be marching grounds, wrestling pits, barracks, uniforms, and a starting age of something like 10. None of these are present. This, almost conclusively, is not Hitler-like.

              I'm not backpedalling at all. Political camps for youth are basically indoctrination into some form of ideology, be it religious, liberal, conservative, etc. And Hitler used those same type camps in an attempt to create good little SS soldiers. This particular camp in Norway could have been of any political ideology, and I would still say the same thing.

                I'm not backpedalling at all. Political camps for youth are basically indoctrination into some form of ideology, be it religious, liberal, conservative, etc.

                Yes, some form of ideology. This may come as a surprise to you, but there's a significant distinction between official Nazi ideology and "religious, liberal" and "conservative" ideologies. They're not actually interchangeable, and they're not all "a little bit 'Hitler' like."

                "And Hitler used those same type camps in an attempt to create good little SS soldiers."

                No, he did not, dave. The Hitler Youth was a paramilitary organization. Is the Workers' Youth League's summer camp on Utoya a paramilitary organization? Did they view themselves as Aryan supermen?

                You seem terribly committed to this horribly offensive comparison, but you've not offered a single reason why the general category of politically oriented summer camps for youth should be deemed "a bit 'Hitler'-like" so casually, without knowing anything else about them.

            I never said the people at the camps were "Hitler" like. I said "political" camps for youth were "Hitler" like. What 12 y/o goes to a "political" camp? Football camp, band camp? I can go with those, but political camp? What kind of parent would send their 12 y/o child to political camp? Many in Germany did.

            By the way, dave, please allow me to point out something significant about the structure of your argument in your reply to my post.

            1) I wrote that "the people who were murdered weren't "a bit 'Hitler' like.""
            2) You replied that you hadn't called the people Hitler-like, but rather the camp.
            3) You then immediately impugned the character of the youth at the camp and explicitly compared the parents who sent their children to summer camp on Utoya to the German parents who sent children to camps for the Hitler Youth.

            So I repeat: the people who were murdered weren't "a bit 'Hitler' like." The decent thing to do is apologize for making such a horribly offensive comparison, dave.

        That's just silly. These kids were teenagers voluntarily attending a retreat much like leadership retreats for American kids. They were there, by ALL accounts, to learn about government and civics and to have fun for one summer week. Kids go to soccer or music camp because they love soccer or music; kids go to camps like this because they are interested in civics.

        Hitler Youth was compulsory -- in fact even Pope Benedict was compelled to join --- and the intent was to indoctrinate every good Aryan boy and girl in Nazi ideology. A few archival photos even show members of Hitler Youth present during Einsatzgruppen mass executions in the 1940s, although observing not actively participating.

        I truly can not fathom how one could connect the two.

          Figures a Leftist could never understand the concept of praying for an unborn baby or for an "enemy". Hey, go ahead and barf fishgirl. Then when someone asks why'd you barf, you can say it's because you prayed for an unborn baby.

          And here we have at least 10 more freaks of Nature that agree with fishdirl!

            I wonder if the same can be said for the right praying for Obama or for "pro-choice" values.

            If you think this makes the left mentally dysfunctional, because they cannot accept things such as "praying for an enemy" (btw, in Church we happen to pray for the people of the middle east that are in conflict, you know, those same people from which Fox always singles out to cite the origins of terrorism) or for ideologies they can't accept (are the right any closer to accepting pro-choice?), then this makes the right, by your definition equally mentally dysfunctional, at the very least.

            So everyone basically is dysfunctional when they can't accept an opposing thought. Given that people generally have positions from which they stand and values which they mostly adhere to it would be safe to say that EVERYONE is mentally dysfunctional.

            Not least of all yourself.

              Of course we know you can't believe that someone such as I could or would EVER pray for Obama since you are a Leftist. The concept is so far removed from any plausibility in your circle of life. But, believe it or not, many conservatives pray for Obama AND his family. I know this is a fact. I also know that most if not all conservatives do not pray for a successful abortion. We pray that HE will provide divine guidance for the expectant woman; so she makes the proper choice.

              BTW, 17 thumbs up so far for fishgirl's post! More proves my point of dysfuntionality amongst the Left.

                I know for sure of one thing, that the line below:

                we know you can't believe that someone such as I could or would EVER pray for Obama since you are a Leftist


                is completely of your own conjecture. For one I am not a leftist, for another I don't give twopence about whether you can pray for anyone of any allegiance. That point is completely moot to me.

                I KNOW for a fact that there are conservatives out there that pray for Obama and can accept his views. Similarly there are Democrats out there that can respect the views of their political opponents. That is beyond the point. What IS the point is your completely fallacious claim of the mental dysfunctional of a human being who is unable to accept/support the views of others. This makes virtually ALL the Republicans in congress mentally dysfunctional for not accepting the fact that taxes MUST be raised to correct the deficit for example. It makes both sides of the abortion debate dysfunctional mentally as each cannot accept the stand of the other and continue to oppose such a stand.

                I know this is a fact. I also know that most if not all conservatives do not pray for a successful abortion. We pray that HE will provide divine guidance for the expectant woman; so she makes the proper choice.



                What you do pray for or not pray for is based on your personal perspective. You won't pray for bad things to happen to the people you like, but I can bet you there are those who aren't above praying for bad things to those they don't like. This is a captain obvious point.

                It can actually be proven that you are mentally dysfunctional from your posts both past and present, as well as your standard for rating mental dysfunctionality. Most if not all of your posts in the past have been in an opposive voice to the opinions of the other posters.....excluding the obvious snide and arrogant insults which don't count. That much is enough to make you mentally dysfunctional by your own standard.

                By that standard, if you dig deep enough, you can show that EVERYONE is mentally dysfunctional for not accepting certain views of certain people.

                    The point that your unfair and completely illogical denunciation of "leftist" by calling them "mentally dysfunctional" simply because they cannot accept the views of others applies to anyone and everyone who does not accept the views of others or rejects them (which is just about everyone including yourself, VERY much so) for whatever reasons they may have, has flown over the net TWICE with no resistance.

                    And yet you think you won the game. Oh well, given past experiences with you that's pretty much to be expected.

                    Deluded in above post: "I wonder if the same can be said for the right praying for Obama or for "pro-choice" values."


                    Your response to that:

                    But, believe it or not, many conservatives pray for Obama AND his family. I know this is a fact


                    Of course this is pretty much a captain obvious statement, but what DO they actually pray for on issues which they DISAGREE with him? That's what I was trying to address with that point. You answered that immediately afterwards:

                    I also know that most if not all conservatives do not pray for a successful abortion


                    So they don't pray for something they don't agree with huh? That's exactly what I was getting at about having beliefs and values and not accepting those that oppose these beliefs and values.

                    To be exact though, no one wants more abortions "successful" or otherwise. The issue is to have the choice for abortion. That is something that right wing conservatives who are pro-life would most likely not be praying for (and I know you fall under this category from some of your past thread on the issue) as it is against a fundamental value and belief.

                    It's fine for them to have this belief where I am concerned. It's even fine for them to declare this belief. According to your standard however, since they can't accept the opposing view of pro-choice, they are automatically "mentally dysfunctional" (that includes you!)

                    So yeah you're still wrong about this:

                    Of course we know you can't believe that someone such as I could or would EVER pray for Obama since you are a Leftist. The concept is so far removed from any plausibility in your circle of life.


                    I DO believe that simply because it's a statement of fact. I mentioned it in part in my second post about how there are indeed Democrats and Republicans who pray for the other side. Would Republicans pray for Obama's family? Why sure, it isn't something that directly conflicts with their own values after all. Now if those same Republicans happen to be fully in Grover Norquist's camp, would they pray for Obama's tax cuts to be passed? Because they hold "no tax increase" as a mantra of sorts, it's hard for me to believe that they would do so and go against their own values in doing so.

                    Because the above is pretty much a statement of fact, it's relevance to me is about the same as the sky being blue is of relevance to me. Therefore I stand by this statement:

                    I don't give twopence about whether you can pray for anyone of any allegiance


                    I've indicated how your unfair standard of labeling "lefties" as mentally dysfunctional is fallacious as it can be applied to everyone and by that standard just about everyone would be mentally dysfunctional because just about everyone would have at least some views they oppose.

She was indicating the level of indoctrination that happens at said camps that has everyone praying for unborn fetuses and GWB that makes her want to barf.

I've pointed this out no less than 3 times, you've not even addressed it once. So who is ignoring who anyway? What is the point of your first post other than coming here and MOCKING "lefties" by calling them "mentally dysfunctional" because they express disapproval or a non-acceptance of views opposing theirs?

                        Well, Rush has advised it is pointless to debate a liberal and I suspect this is one of the reasons why.


                        There was no debate at all, NO debate! How could there be when you NEVER addressed the point I've repeated? Much of your posts are nothing more than opinions based on a highly biased rightist position a superiority complex with regards to "lefties":

                        Of course we know you can't believe that someone such as I could or would EVER pray for Obama since you are a Leftist.


                        One last thing, I claim the Left have mental issues for MANY reasons, not just because they feel like barfing if they see someone praying for G. Bush or unborn fetuses.


                        Exactly. You come in here with the presupposition that "leftists" have mental issues. And you've been posting with such a presupposition here, without even bothering to justify that opinion at all. I've laid out clearly what issues I had with your post, yet you harp on about people "not getting YOUR point" whatever that is and claiming it as a sign of mental dysfunctionality (completely tangential to the initial standard of mental dysfunctionality you advocated).

                        Fine then, if you don't want to admit to the ludicrity of the standard of dysfunctionality you set in your first post, then I'll just take it as something indefensible and completely irrational that was said in a moment of cognitive mental dysfunctionality based on an opinion that was biased.

                        In other words, "pleading not guilty by plea of insanity".

                        Just for once try to think about things yourself, shed that biased opinion of yours, and actually SEE how debates are done instead of simply drinking Uncle Rush's koolaid that "liberals can't be debated with".

                        Let's move on then shall we?

            Hi, donut-boy. Yes, I think everybody understands why rational thinking seems dysfunctional to you. You're senile and/or insane.

            Here's the basis of this thread so far;

            A radical, right wing Christian conservative ( one of your guys) killed a bunch of people.

            Glenn Beck ( another one of yours) calls the victims of this Righty ethnic-cleanser / Nationalist "Nazis", completely turning logic and history upside-down.

            And you have no comment on either of those things, but you're angry at fishgirl ( and anybody who gave her a "thumbs up"), who says she may be sickened by further indoctrination of children into your world of right wing hate and fantasy, praying for imaginary beings, or praying to an imbecilic president like W.

            Do you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself here, or do you just not care anymore ? Is your brain completely destroyed from lack of use ?

            Seriously, your diagnoses of others' mental problems are a joke as long as you continue to exhibit this absolute insanity that passes for your "thinking". You really need to take some time, and look at yourself, and what's wrong with you.

Well, to normal thinking folks it's him stalking me as proven by the volume of comments he posts in reply to mine - but forgive him, he just can't resist pecking out trash on his widdle keyboard; and besides, he does have trouble counting.

              But, on to the task at hand of popping Andy's hot air balloon of lies once again. Try and keep up Andy.

              I was simply replying to fishgirl's post about her ridiculing the praying for GWB and/or unborn fetuses (I call 'em babies). What I said is it is very common for conservatives to pray for their "enemies". Happens all the time. It is also very common for someone to post a specific message in reply to a specific point someone made on these here MMfA comment pages. This also happens all the time. In fact, you do it all the time (oh yeah, I forgot you get a free pass on hypocrisy - sorry).

              One more thing. I need to point out another of your lies, "praying to an imbecilic president like W". I'm pretty sure they were praying for President Bush; not to. And your imbecilic pejorative against W just reaffirms my opinion of you Andy. A classless elitist snob loser who posts messages here to puff up his wimpy sunken chest. If you'd ever re-read your posts you'd see what us normal folks see in your condescending posts.

              Overall, one of your worst Mr. Kriess. I'd say kabniel level stuff at best.

                So now you're saying that George W. Bush and unborn Americans are your enemies ? That's just plain weird.

                Fishgirl's point ( pay attention now, look at the words, feel free to move your lips as you read) wasn't so much about the specifics of who was being prayed for /to ( your arch enemies W and a fetus), it was about the indoctrination of the kids.

                There are people dying and starving in the world, all sorts of atrocities and tragedies going on, and these cretins were forcing young kids to invoke superstitious rituals for some people that didn't even exist, and to support their wishes for a president to take away peoples' rights based on these superstitions.

                I'd highly recommend you watch that film before you try to comment on it again, unless you just enjoy parading your ignorance around.

                Let me know when you actually come up with an example of my lies or hypocrisy. Repeating your fantasies doesn't make them true.

                I was simply replying to fishgirl's post about her ridiculing the praying for GWB and/or unborn fetuses (I call 'em babies)


                Let's assume for a moment that fishgirl opposes the praying for undorn fetuses and GWB and not the indoctrination of kids into doing such things:


                So she was stating her opinion or rather her opposition here:

                the part in Jesus camp where they pray for unborn fetus' and for GWB makes me want to barf!!!


                Right, now how does this compare to another expression of opinion?

                One last thing, I claim the Left have mental issues for MANY reasons, not just because they feel like barfing if they see someone praying for G. Bush or unborn fetuses


                Both of these can be considered statements of opinion. One finds praying to/for GWB and unborn fetuses disgusting enough to barf, the other states that the Left (let's assume ALL the Left here) are mentally dysfunctional.

                Neither has elaborated on why either praying to/for GWB and unborn fetuses is disgusting or why all the left are mentally dysfunctional.

                Not to call you a hypocrite, but these are things that should be addressed too.

                One more thing. I need to point out another of your lies, "praying to an imbecilic president like W". I'm pretty sure they were praying for President Bush; not to. And your imbecilic pejorative against W just reaffirms my opinion of you Andy


                Very well then, how about this: why don't you share your points about why you believe the left are all mentally dysfunctional and Andy can share his points about why GWB was "imbecilic". Deal?

                A classless elitist snob loser who posts messages here to puff up his wimpy sunken chest. If you'd ever re-read your posts you'd see what us normal folks see in your condescending posts.

                  You people are not only unable to follow a thread, you gotta LIE all the time as well: "why don't you share your points about why you believe the left are all mentally dysfunctional", I actually said "Maybe NOW you can understand why I'm convinced significant portions of the Left are mentally dysfunctional." Also, missed the lie of Andy's re praying to vs. praying for W; how convenient.

                  Then you make the claim that fishgirl was complaining about "indoctrination" and not "praying", which of course is simply your opinion (BTW, this is another trait I read so often here - anybody from the Left speaks facts, anybody from the Right speaks opinions. Condescending snobs).

                  Last, I'm not gonna waste any more time with you. I don't have the time to play. I'm retired but do have a bunch of daily chores.

      Glennie, you asked "Who goes to a camp all about politics, disturbing..." except that it happens here in the U.S., too. My daughter went to "Congress Camp" in 2004, just out of high school. She spent a week at Gallaudet College with students from around the country studying about the American government, touring D.C. and communing with other political nerds. She loved it. She then followed up by volunteering for the Kerry Campaign for the last couple of months of 2004.

      Now, tell me, what kind of person blames a 12-19 year old for being interested in politics and for wanting to spend a summer week on an island with other like minded kids? This was an annual affair, put out by the Liberal party in Norway.....oh, but those crazy Liberals are actually supporting the Nazis and oppression, right? And does it make the killer guilty of "Cloward and Piven" and trying to bring down the system by killing kids? Glennie, this is even worse than when you mocked Malia Obama. You are depraved and EVIL.

        "Congress Camp" sounds familiar. There is, or used to be a program like that in Tennessee. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was called, (can't find it on Google, either) but high school students with good grades were selected to attend this camp, where they held elections and formed a government.

        There was a time when such things looked good on a resume. I suppose that's no longer true in Teabagger America.

          This program was open to a lot of schools, but we had to pay to send my daughter. It was part of a series of classes, with different interests, offered on college campuses in different places. My daughter was always a Government junkie, she recognized Dukakis and Bush41 at the age of 2 1/2. I started watching "The West Wing" as soon as it was on AFN, but I wasn't sure she would like the program, but she did. She will tell you that she passed most of her American Government classes in high school and college by what she learned watching it.

        Even if it was a camp for Hitler youth, that doesn't make it ok to murder 90 kids.

      Glenn Beck gives 7 minutes of tacit justification for this mad man's actions and then spends 30 seconds telling his audience they shouldn't do what he did. Nice.

      Beck, if I was famous and I spent 7 minutes demonizing the targets of an Islamic terrorist attack and saying how Muslims have to be careful of the encroaching hordes of the West who want to take their land, their natural resources and their women, you'd label me a terrorist sympathizer or probably just label me a terrorist outright.

        Remember how much trouble Bill Maher got in for simply saying that the 9/11 hijackers weren't cowards? That's not even all that debatable. If you're prepared to die for your cause, by definition you're not a coward. That says nothing as to right or wrong, crazy or sane, anything on the same continent as justification for violence.

        But Beck essentially excuses mass murder here. Will right-wingers agree he should be kicked off the air for this, or are we going to hear the fallacious "First Amendment" defense again?

      To say that the Norway SHOOTER sounds like a Nazi, or like Hitler would NOT be hyperbole: He's a RW Nationalist who wants to keep hs race "pure."

      To say that the CAMP is somehow like the Hitler Youth isn't EVEN hyperbole. It's 180 degress form fact. (Kinf of like Beck.) It's a despicable lie, and Beck is a despicable excuse for a human being for telling it.

      This is RW Exrtremism writ large folks. The Conservaties have nowhere to go with this, becuase THIS is what their xenophibic, homophibic, bigotted racist rhetoric leads to - even in THIS country.

      Also wanted to emphasize that the nastiness here goes well beyond the headline-grabbing comparison of the youth retreat attendees to Hitler Youth. This dirtbag is arguing, essentially, that the murderer was forced into his actions by the indignity of having the boot of Political Correctness crushing his neck. He won't say it directly, but Beck is implicitly justifying the massacre. Un-becking-believable. Didn't he make similar arguments when Poplawski killed those police officers in Pittsburgh?

      "Tampa Liberty School is a weeklong day camp for kids ages 8 to 12. It's run by the Tampa 912 Project, a Tea Party–affiliated group aligned with Glenn Beck's 9/12 Project. The camp itself is organized by conservative writer Jeff Lukens, and will "impart the principles of liberty as discovered and implemented by the founders of our country."

      I do hope he travels to Oslo soon, so that if not jailed, at least he can be pelted with rotten eggs by a protest so massive it would take his breath away.

        Comparing 68 dead Norwegian children and young adults to the Hitler Youth is an amazingly callous thing to do, showing not only a tenuous hold on reality, but a casual cruelty based on a degree of self-centeredness that verges on solipsism. I think Glenn Beck is a seriously sick man. Don't defend the indefensible.

        He compared the shooter to OBL and the 9/11 terrorists. He repeated this time after time.


        Wonder why he did that and not compare the shooter to McVeigh (sp?)? Hmmm...

        He made the one reference to the Hitler thing


        "Hitler thing"? You mean where he compared the VICTIMS to the hitler youth? That thing? No biggie...right? I mean he only did it once.

        You utter waste of space. You are as dispicable as beck you pos a-hole.

          My parents always told me that Liberals are the Party of Compassion. Reading all the above things said about Beck I'd have to conclude my parents were wrong. By a LONG shot.

          But hey, whatever floats you boat is fine with me. As I already said, I don't like the man.

          I do recommend you all try to remember there is life after death for some of us.

            Oh I see - you don't want to address what he-whom-you-don't-like actually said or clarify your defense of what it said. But you will take time to bash liberals for being upset about such calousness and lashing out at the source of it.

            And what do mom & dad say about non-liberals? I assume you could just go upstairs to the living room and ask them. But I understand because they would tell you to leave them alone and go play outside.
