Barack Obama is "the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate." While <em>The National Journal</em> rated Obama the most liberal senator in 2007, the rankings were based on a subjective selection of Senate votes by the magazine's staff. By contrast, another study based on all non-unanimous votes found Obama to be tied for the 10th most liberal senator in 2007. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806250010 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:14:14 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806180007 Glenn Beck falsely claimed that "drilling in ANWR alone would yield 100 million barrels a day." In fact, according to Energy Department researchers, if the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is opened for drilling for oil in 2008, the estimated peak production would yield, at most, 1.45 million barrels a day in 2028. http://mediamatters.org/items/200806180007 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:24:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300010 On <em>Good Morning America</em>, ABC News' Claire Shipman confronted Glenn Beck with his remark in March 2007 that Sen. Hillary Clinton is "the stereotypical bitch." Beck responded, in part, that "probably a better word was 'nag.'

Asking DiPaolo if his "comedian friends" thought that "if we have a President Obama, comedy will be dead," Graham said, "[E]veryone will be so scared of saying anything," and added: "You'll be scared to order blackened red fish, because you're afraid that an African-American or Native American will beat the crap out of you for it." http://mediamatters.org/items/200805300001 Fri, 30 May 2008 12:51:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130001 A <em><em>New York Times</em></em> article detailed the connection between numerous media military analysts and the Pentagon and defense industries, reporting that "the Bush administration has used its control over access and information in an effort to transform" media military analysts "into a kind of media Trojan horse -- an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks." A <em>Media Matters </em>review found that since January 1, 2002, the analysts named in the <em>Times</em> article -- many identified as having ties to the defense industry -- collectively appeared or were quoted as experts more than 4,500 times on ABC, ABC News Now, CBS, CBS Radio Network, NBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, and NPR. http://mediamatters.org/items/200805130001 Tue, 13 May 2008 08:25:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010004 On Glenn Beck's CNN Headline News program, Ann Coulter asked of Sen. Barack Obama: "Is Obama a Manchurian candidate to normal Americans who love their country? ... Or is he being the Manchurian candidate to the traitor wing of the Democratic Party?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200805010004 Thu, 1 May 2008 15:32:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200804110006 On CNN Headline News' <em>Glenn Beck</em>, columnist Mark Steyn said of Michelle Obama: "[T]his is Kim Jong-Il dressed up with a bit of Oprah Winfrey dressing." Steyn also called Obama "a conventional university socialist." Host Glenn Beck said of Obama, "Her language is riddled with socialism," and said of the Obamas, "[T]here's a socialist agenda there for America." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804110006 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:10:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200009 On <em>Glenn Beck</em>, Ken Blackwell stated of Sen. Barack Obama: "Here is a guy who basically said that, while he was in Reverend [Jeremiah] Wright's church, he embraces [Nation of Islam founder] Louis Farrakhan." In fact, Obama has called himself "a consistent denunciator of Louis Farrakhan," which neither Beck nor Blackwell noted. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200009 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:20:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803110008 CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck suggested that, in a recent item, <em>Media Matters for America</em> claimed that Beck did not "directly ask [evangelist John Hagee] about the Catholic Church and anything like that." In fact, what <em>Media Matters</em> noted in the March 5 item was that Beck did not challenge Hagee on his specific comments about the Catholic Church or any other of a long list of controversial statements he has made. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803110008 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:31:22 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070014 <em>Chicago Tribune</em> columnist John Kass sat by as Glenn Beck repeated a baseless claim in Kass' column and added a falsehood of his own regarding Barack Obama's house purchase in Chicago. Beck repeated Kass' claim that Obama received "a $300,000 discount" on the purchase of his Chicago home and falsely asserted that indicted businessman Antoin Rezko "bought the property next door at $300,000 more." Kass did not dispute either assertion. http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070014 Fri, 7 Mar 2008 22:45:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803050008 On his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck hosted evangelist John Hagee but did not note any of the numerous controversial statements Hagee has made on various topics, including the Catholic Church, Islam, women, and homosexuality. Beck concluded the interview by saying: "There are people -- and they said this about Bill Clinton -- that actually believe he might be the Antichrist. Odds that Barack Obama is the Antichrist?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200803050008 Wed, 5 Mar 2008 16:34:53 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802250008 On <em>Glenn Beck</em>, National Review Online editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg said: "I think one of the things that is decidedly fascistic, or at least just a bad idea, is looking for silver bullets. You know, when [Sen.] Barack Obama campaigns, he's basically saying, 'I'm a silver bullet. I'm going to solve all your problems just by electing me.' FDR, Hitler, all these guys, they basically said, 'All your problems can be solved.'

He further stated: "And if we're going to have a La Raza Plaza sign, what's next? A KKK Plaza sign, a Black Panther Plaza sign?" Later in the program, Gilchrist said the "Anti-Defamation League, like the Southern Poverty Law Center, are professional fundraising groups" and asserted: "They participate in encouraging and proliferating hate. These are not groups that you want to get -- you rely on for any valid information." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801310008 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:59:57 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801290013 Discussing Sen. Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama, Glenn Beck asked Republican strategist Amy Holmes, "[Y]ou ever just pictured Ted Kennedy naked?" Beck added, "[Y]ou know, that picture with him with his shirt off just kind of pops into your head. And you're like, 'OK, I won't have children now.' " http://mediamatters.org/items/200801290013 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:33:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250012 Glenn Beck asserted that Hillary Clinton is "a liberal fascist ... who wants to redistribute the wealth in this country the way she believes is good for everybody," adding that her desire "to get back to the appropriate balance of power between government and the market ... sounds like the Soviet Union," and that "Comrade Clinton has railed against the excesses of the offensive executive pay packages and an out of whack tax code that favors the wealthy while holding down the middle class." Beck also said of John Edwards: "Now, put a red star on his furry head. He's a communist." http://mediamatters.org/items/200801250012 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:14:21 EST
