WE all know both have a special needs kid.

Glenn Beck takes it a huge step further by procaling that after Palin was chosen by McCain he "for once didn't feel so alone."

We all know he has zero credibility already (His three week claim that terrorists have stolen school buses was just an example of his craziness) but Sarah Palin FOR ONCE made him feel not alone?

Come on, get off it.

Has his wife made him feel alone? His family? His friends? Others with disabled children?

I guess he didn't know there were others out there until Palin got chosen.


How did Beck feel when Bush and McCain lost their control of the Senate when they called Special Education a SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP causing Vermont Republican Jeffords to become an INDEPENDENT due to the callousness of the GOP towards special needs children.

Sarah Palin doesn't bother me. I don't like her, because politically she is my opposite, but I have nothing against her. But Glen Beck!! God do I hate that man. He is insanely stupid. Doing things like asking the first muslim congressman if we should be afraid he would blow up congress. Or asking if oabama was the anti-christ. My 2 favorite people in the world are conservatives, so I don't hate conservatives just because. But I hate glen Beck, and I hope he has his vocal chords ripped out in a freak accident, so he can never speak again.

His radio show is #3, just behind Rush and Hannity which is saying a lot. He's got a magazine called "FUSION" and he seems to be pretty smart at "playing the political game" with the media.

His writer/cohort IMO is his genius.

Stu is hilarious.

I love their humor. Glenn was picked up by CNN and was doing very well. So well that FOX took note and offered him more money to move there. Good for Glenn.

There are things I don't see eye to eye with Glenn, but he's one of my favorites.

1. When you say "We all know he has zero credibility..." you're not actually speaking for everyone. There are quite a few people who think Glenn speaks for them, and is indeed credible.

2. I don't presume to speak for Glenn, but maybe his comment about for once not feeling so alone had to do with the fact that there was a political figure on the national stage that would help advance the cause of special needs kids despite party lines. That's something his wife, family, and friends couldn't do even though he probably appreciates their love and support as well.

3. When you wonder aloud how Glenn felt when Jeffords jumped ship because of special needs kids, perhaps you should google Beck's reaction to find out instead of assuming the worst. Beck is known to buck Republicans as well as Democrats. What did Glenn say? Is there a statement you could quote?

4. How do you feel about both his and Sarah's comments in their support for Obama now that he's president? I thought the interview was pretty good. Glenn started off a little sappy... he does that when he talks about his own kids.

Did you actually see him do those things in context or did you just see a youtube cut on some liberal website? I only ask becuase Beck actually went over those comments, played them in full context, and showed how liberal sites were taking comments meant to be sarcastic or silly and spin them as though they were poker face serious. It really was funny to see how these sites slice and dice comments to fit their agenda. They do it with Hannity, O'Reilly, and all the others.

And I'm not really a Glenn Beck fan. But I was listening the day he broke it down on those comments.

I saw the thing with the muslim congressman live. I don't care if he meant that as a joke or not. It is a despicable thing to say, and he should be ashamed. The thing with the anti-christ, I only saw on youtube. But again even if it is a joke, he is justifying such disgusting nonsense with him bringing it up.


Oh, and ps. I don't frequent liberal websites. the only political website I frequent is this one.

You may not like either one of them and thats your right but your barking up the wrong tree here. Don't put yourselves in Beck's shoes on this topic b/c you don't know what it is like for either one of them so don't criticize them on this ground.

The only radio hosts worth listening to are the complete shills for the neo-socialist party. Anyone who's not for the neo-socialists is flat-out stupid, and not worth anything at all. Why? Because anyone who's not a neo-socialist is stupid. 'Cause...well...'cause I said so!

See? I can be "progressive" too!

P.S. Beck should be #1. He's more centrist than Limbaugh or Hannity.

See what you cons can't see in your ridiculous narrow world view, is that there are actually intelligent and reasonable people in the world. I don't listen to air america. I don't like olberman or rachael maddow, just like I don't like hanitty, limbaugh, or beck. I don't like partisan hacks who can't see truth, only what their narrow world view allows them to see.


It is called cognitive dissonance. You can't imagine that some one would dislike beck except for bias. When in fact the only way you can not dislike him is if you have a very serious bias yourself.
