Does Glen Beck NOW consider himself a "journalist" since he works for Fox "News"? Beck has said before that he is NOT a journalist and that he NEVER checks facts? He should fit in well with Fox "News"!

Glen says he is not a journalist, but he has NEVER said he doesn't check facts. You made than one up, but that's to be expected.
If you want the real facts, listen to Glen.

I mean, after all, this is what all people base their valuble vote on, right?

1.) Oratory skills
2.) Personality
3.) He's not the other guy

Me, personally, I vote for the candidate that is the closest in sharing my ideals. A candidate that focuses on handling serious issues as a president needs to. If more people were to base their vote off of that quality, this country would see true CHANGE.
Good point, but if people actually analyzed the positions of their candidates before they voted them in, nobody would vote for a Democrat or a Republican, they'd vote for Libertarians, Greens, Constitutionalists, Communists and Fascists. Instead we get the choice "would you rather elect a douche or a turd sandwich?"

But for Beck to have said that Palin was the most qualified of the 4 just proves that he talks from his Donkey. Palin, who barely graduated from some backwoods hick college, who was a housewife and a local sports reporter in ALASKA until just a couple of years ago and who had never made any real decisions, was somehow more qualified than McCain, Obama, Biden...or even Bob Barr. That is why he'll never have any credibility, he just says things that he knows will get him ratings.

He was a "morning zoo" disc jockey before he became a political pundit...and before that, he was a drug addict, alcoholic who needed Jesus to save him.

But I'd love to know what their definition of hate is these days. My guess is it's a label for anyone who disagrees with them and has a large following either online or on tv/radio.
Saying that the president has a deep-seeded hatred for white people is clearly hate mongering. He is trying to make white people (nearly all of his idiot listeners) fear the president because he is (half) black.

If that's not hate mongering, nothing is.

Oh, the horror of admitting one needs the assistance of a higher power to kick drugs/alcohol!!! Isn't that what successful programs like Alcoholics Anonymous are based on??? Hmmm. well never mind with those pesky facts!!!!

Just because people share your views, doesn't mean they are right.

Thousands of people tried to stop schools from integrating.

2,000,000+ people were active in the Klan back in the 1920s.

David Duke (former Grand Wizard of the KKK) was nearly elected to the senate just 20 years ago.

Hitler was Democratically elected.
So was Hugo Chavez.

If public opinion is fueled by hate and bigotry, it's never right.
Glenn Beck fuels hate and bigotry. I don't support Obama or most of his policies, but I certainly don't hate him. He's simply the man America decided was the best person to help us recover from the disaster known as President George W. Bush.

Beck has taken down 3 Obamas czars all by himself.

Not to bad at all.

Beck is ripping Obama a new one all the time.

The facts show that Beck is beating the crap out of Obama and he cannot do a damn thing about it.

And Beck is not done with the Obama buddies either. Wait and see, more of them will fall in time all because Beck exposed the criminals to the REAL AMERICANS.

I didn't write "white" Americans, because it isn't only "whites" that disagree with Obama and his policies. There are more than just "whites" that love America.

Have you ever heard of Michelle Malkin, a "Filipino American" (though I'm sure Michelle calls herself an "American" — why do you find it necessary to say "Filipino American"?) You should become familiar with her work. She doesn't find it necessary to identify with "white" America. She is an "American". Period. Why aren't you? Are you Filipino first and American second?

What did you think of Marcos? Did you agree with him because he was a "Filipino"? He was basically a dictator. That's what Obama is. Is that what you want? Someone like Marcos?

Or, were you born in America, as was Michelle Malkin. In which case, you are not a "Filipino-American".

Which is it? And what is your point? Do you support the destruction of America? Why? You live here. Why don't you go back to the Philippines? Live there if you don't like it here.

Finally, Beck is neither racist (prove it), nor a moron (prove it). He does not act or speak like a racist (race has notihng to do with disagreement with Obamas Marxist policies — Obama is a Marxist. And, yes he is black. So what? He is still a Marxist).

Beck is far from a moron. He is smarter than most who post on this forum, including you (and me).

Your post is totally irrelevant. You seem absolutely clueless. Your comparisons have nothing whatsoeve to do with what is happening in our government today under this administration.

I have never heard Glenn Beck "fuel[ing] hate and bigotry". Can you give an example?

The current "disaster" (and make no mistake, it is a disaster) was created by Obama himself. George Bush, for whatever failings you may think he had, did not create this mess. This is Obama's. He owns it. Bush had noting to do with the mess we are in today.
