Glenn Beck is getting thrown off the airwaves...so what?

[Atman]

No different than the assholes on Wall Street who lied and cheated their way to obscene wealth. Beck is rich as shit. And if every station in America cuts him off tomorrow, he'll go to bed with a brazillion dollars in his back account. No charges of sedition or treason or false statements. He had a good run, he made a ton of money, and his books and ancillary deals will carry him well into old age. He knew what he was doing. He's the digital-age fast-buck artist. He scammed people into the Tea Bag movement, they're still there, he's going home with more money than he's knows what to do with...and most of it will be tax free, off course.

Fuck Glenn Beck. His fifteen minutes (months?) are up. Good riddance.

10. It would seemingly be a big damned deal, since no one here

seems to have heard anything about it? Are you saying he is being thrown off his tv show or just that one or two radio stations have thrown him off?
