1. What was your first clue?
RWers typically think social spending = socialism.

3. He's not insane. He very much knows what he is doing.
He's that way on purpose, for money, and that makes it much much worse.

5. Except when Bush called for it

6. No, no, no he's not!
My mommy says he's a "good and honorable man, just like Bill O'Reilly" -- and anyone who says different is a liar! She likes him even better than Bill O'Reilly, who she's listened to faithfully for years now, because he's "so sincere."

:crazy:

12. My mother's smarter than that...
and she's been dead for 4 years.


Happily, she was a progressive when she was above ground, too.

28. And who would want to contradict their mommy!
With all due respect to your mom, though. . .you may want to get her away from Fox News for a few days, and let her explore the greater world!

33. Not possible.
I had to get me far, far away to save myself. Mom and I can talk, but only about a very limited range of subjects.

She still will not accept that my kids and I are confirmed liberals, but at least she quit siccing other family members on me and we just don't talk about that anymore. She's well on in years now, so I stick to the approved topic list and try not to upset her.

37. Good move!
You sound like a very clever and sensitive person! You are right. . .why upset good old mom?
Just make sure you stick to YOUR guns when you're not in the same room as her!

14. I don't know about certifiable, but he's definitely more than a half a bubble off plumb
I have little doubt that he suffers from severe depression and he's developed an elaborate coping mechanism that borders on psychosis.

But there's a lot of wingnuts that fit that mold, so it's really no surprise that he's as popular with them as he is. He speaks their language of nutbaggery.

19. I'm not a Neilsen family, and I've contacted advertisers asking them to
drop him. So, Fox doesn't benefit from me occasionally checking in to see what the nutjob is saying.

21. Irony Alert: "The internet is the last thing that is truly free"
... but it won't be if Beck has his way.

He's probably the biggest dimwit of all of the squawking heads...hardly worth pounding a keyboard over.
