What an obnoxious little toad. He may be even worse than Bowtie Tucker.

6. I guess.
I couldn't believe they had someone in front of a camera saying what he was saying.

3. he's on local RW radio 9am to 11am (?) M-F
Here in Tulsa we have the misfortune of having 2 RW radio talk stations and a conservative Xn radio station.

4. And the worst part isn't his antediluvian politics
It's the fact that he thinks he's funny.

Pity for Connie Chung that CNN canned her before they adopted their all-shit-all-the-time policy. She could have become the jewel in their crown.

5. He's horrid, but does have one redeeming quality
One of his daughters has Cerebral Palsy, and he does seem to have a soft spot for disability issues,(especially involving kids,) because of that.

7. That's even worse...
I hate these effing rethugs who happen to have A SOFT SPOT for the one thing in ther lives which hasn't gone well.

Christie Whitman was real liberal on hospital stays for C-sections...'cause she had one...and the creep George Will, that obnoxious tw-t, feels sorry for special children and their families, 'cause he has one, and he's a big believer in seat belt laws b/c he saw someone go thru their windshield.

Screw 'em.

13. Right, it's hypocrisy
not a redeeming quality at all. No empathy, that's one of their biggest character defects. Same thing with Gordon Smith AFTER his son committed suicide; before that he made sure any youth legislation contained plenty of money to lock kids up.

14. you're right...
screw him too.

See, what the Rethugs did and do is that they take no prisoners - we're nice guys 'cause we don't want to see the country like this. Maybe later...but right now.

Screw 'em. Let them answer for their misdeeds and don't give one inch. If they had given one inch in Florida, Gore would have been President.

don't ever ever forget that and don't let your kids forget that.

10. Yeah, they have a lot of sympathy for issues that impact them
personally. That really drives me nuts. (I mean, it's great that he's sensitive to disabilities -- but can't he see past his own needs???)

12. Of cuss not...
that's because he's a Rethug. They don't give a shit about anyone else in the whole world. Unless it's in their family such that their lives are disrupted. That's why they're always active in things like CP, autism, etc. Ask them who in their family is affected and it's always a first, or at worst, a second-degree relative.

Eff em.

8. He's an incredible racist who talked about murdering Michael Moore
http://mediamatters.org/items/200505180008

BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure.

18. Oh, no... what he said was considered to be free speech.
Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 07:59 PM by I Have A Dream
I filed a complaint with the FCC, and they didn't see any problem with it. :puke:

The only good thing about Glenn Beck to me personally is that this Michael Moore comment was the reason that I found DU. I was so disgusted by the report that he had said this on the air that I wanted to contact each of his sponsors to complain. While trying to find the information, I found DU and immediately started posting. By the way, the only one of his sponsors who stopped advertising on his radio show because of his comment about Michael Moore was DirecTV.

20. Beck was the biggest force behind the
Terry Shiavo hoax. Beck told lie after lie about Terry's poor husband who was going through so much at the time. Beck even took up a collection to bribe Schiavo's husband to relinquish custody of Terry. The sum reach $6 million. Michael Schiavo never took the money. That showed who the asshole was.

Beck has no shame at all for all he did to Michael Schiavo.

One of the all time worst hate/fear mongers.
