          Let's all remember that Beck will still be on the radio and the Internet. He's going to Israel in August. We'll still have him to kick around, so don't feel too bad.

          Although I'm a little worried about what I'm do with this web site:
          Glenn Beck Unhinged

          Great video, thanks.

        Considering that Beck and his friends believe his show to the be the second coming of christ (Not beck, the show) then calling it "news" is actually giving benefit of the doubt. Calling it "Insane Religious Dogma Propagation Hour" would be closer. But we already won, we dont need to twist the knife too...

        ...Although I wouldnt fault anyone for doing so.

      I'll save this video for a future emergency - like when I need to induce vomiting.

      It took only a minute or so before the saliva started flowing.

      Please don't cover GBTV. He does not deserve attention.

      Beck is not a rodeo clown. A rodeo clown is an honorable occupation, one where you risk your own safety to create calm out of chaos. Beck instead is the flank strap, the rope tied around the bulls no no area that makes it buck more.

        I've been to a lot of rodeos and that was my first thought when I heard him call himself a rodeo clown. How dare he demean a noble profession.

      My favorite quote:

      "Do you really believe that I could, or anybody could here at Fox News, could just make things up and remain on the air?"

      Fair and Balanced.

        But...but if they said it on TV it HAS to be true right?! Garfield taught me that in his saturday morning cartoon which was infinitely funnier than the comic strip and also had a farm.

        (I consider each and every character on that show a better source of news than Beck.)

        That's the irony - he got fired, so even if he was "right", well then...

      If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

      I have a feeling that even Glenn Beck knows that his show is stupid. He's to political commentary what Insane Clown Posse is to music - meaning he tries to be a show that's "so bad it's good", but it ends up being "so bad that it's just really, really bad".
