Glenn Beck Goes 'Over the Line' by Mocking Malia

letzrockexpress · May 29, 2010

Yeah? So what?
Glen Beck is an A-hole. If you don't like that fact he is an A-hole, take it up with him. I'm just reporting.
As far as tolerating other religions, My comments have nothing to do with tolerance.

Not that it matters, and I don't have any idea what your definition of a "successful" radio personality is, but there are plenty of liberal talk show hosts out there, each carrying their own level of success. Because you never heard of them means nothing....Oh yeah, and the only folks I ever personally hear say "my bad" are dumb hillbillies, so I'll stereotype and consider the source....

I used to listen to Air America, but I believe they went broke. Apparently they weren't successful. As far as Beck's success, the number 3 radio talk show in America. I would say that between his radio show and TV show, he is at least a commercial success! I don't recall saying "my bad." As far as the Hillbilly comment, there are no hills in eastern Arkansas. You can call me "Red Neck" or "Hick" or what ever you tolerant people call us Southerners

, but don't call me Hillbilly. As previously stated, there are no hills around here!

I reviewed my previous posts and stand corrected, I did use "my bad!" In the words of Bill Clinton...I misquoted myself! MY BAD!

Point taken: No Hills in eastern Arkansas. Air America may have gone broke, I have heard that before. Don't really know for sure. AL Franken is gone because he became a Senator. Jerry Springer took the bigger money and went back to his TV show. Rachel Maddow has a TV gig now also. Randi Rhodes ( to my knowledge, no relation to Rhodes 101) has a show in New York. Ed Shultz is still around in a lot of markets and on Sirius/XM. There are a number of others. Besides that, my indictment is not about ALL conservative talk show hosts. I happen to love Michael Savage. I listen to Rush occasionally. Glenn Beck is in an entirely different catagory. He is, IMHO, trying to incite violence against everyone and anything that disagrees with him. A great number of people that I personally know who listen to him are not what I would call emotionally stable. He preys on, and exploits their weakness, feeding their paranoia with half truths and outright lies. The man is dangerous. He needs to go.

I don't listen to Beck so I don't know anything about his encouraging of violence. As to his preying on peoples weaknesses, their fears, is that not what all politicians do, including Obama, to get elected? That hyping up of fears on issues is the main battle plan of most of those out there today. You seldom hear any kind of positive ideas. Just how bad things are, how bad the other guy is and if (insert any name here) is not elected the U.S. is in dire trouble and only (insert any name here) can save us from our follies. In that respect Beck would seem to be no different.

Let's see about tolerant of others:
Glenn Beck demonstrates on a daily basis what kind of A-hole he is. That is what you get when an untreated drunk is allowed to spew his uneducated, non sensical opinions on the air.

Freedom of speech?
allowed to spew his uneducated, non sensical opinions on the air.

And religous tolerance:
That's not even mentioning the fact he's a Mormon

And respecting others opinions:
The fact that anyone could possibly defend this man's actions today, or any other day, shows the level of, or lack there of, intelligence of many in the soapbox...
Yes, I would say that you are definately open minded!

Where did I state that I am open minded?

You are correct sir. That, however, does not make it O.K. This guy gets paid to scare the SH** out of people.

I did not say it was OK, just that is how it is. Obama gets paid to do the same thing. They are all "fear mongers".

I am more scared by what Obama doesn't do than what he does do....

We are in agreement there as well. He scares the "stuffing" out of millions in this country, myself included. I also believe that he would not hesitate to incite violence or use violence to further his drive for power. Much of what he says is very scary too, as is what he does not say.

If you were female would there not be yet another definition of "broad minded"?

I like your honesty! One of the great things about our great country is that people can disagree with each other openly!
On this Memoprial Day Holiday, we should pause and give thanks for those who made the ultimate sacrifice that among other things, guaranteed our freedom of speech!
ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL!
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Nope, don't know you. Anyone in here could be a he/she or it, could they not? I was not commenting on that, only the definition. You are allowed to be anything you want.

I have never once heard Glen Beck try to incite anyone to commit violence. The majority of the time when he is making a point about a person or group he uses cold hard facts often inluding them speaking. He actually shows proof of what he talks about unlike most people out there. He is far less dangerous than the people leading our country.

It's kinda hard to get people to take your opinion seriously when you have to hurl insults to try to make your point. Actually reading the insults you hand out and the way you judge groups of people I have to wonder who really might be the paranoid one.
