Can you prove that statement without Media Matters? Do you know that they do a great job of editing what they tell you about Beck? I checked them out today just to see what they would do and sure enough they did just what I thought they would do. They put out only what they want their fools to beieve. Now since you don't go there you can't be one of those. Whoops, excuse me, you have posted links from there.

Can you prove that all you get from MM is completely true? That they don't edit what they print about what he said? You can't do that since you refuse to watch him but just go with what MM says. You can check him out any time by going to: http://www.watchglennbeck.com

Tarp was a profit center for the government, except the part that Fannie & Freddie got without having to pay back.(cough, Barney Frank)

As usual, Strel has no facts in rebuttal.

In the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America, you have to get permission (i.e., license) from government to live, work, travel, buy, sell, build a house, own a dog, marry and die (attempted suicide is a crime). You have to pay a tax to live, work, own, buy, sell and die. Your individual rights are inferior to the collective rights of the State.

If this is wholly incorrect, or a sweeping generalization that is inapplicable in your area, that's a reasonable rebuttal.
But from where I am, folks have to buy permission / license to fish, hunt, drive, build a house, own a dog, marry, fly, operate a business, enter certain occupations, have a boat, transmit on certain frequencies, treat the sick, buy medicine, buy medical care, and so forth.

If this is "American Freedom", I think someone needs to change the definition for freedom.

Call it whatever you want, but it won't change the fact that Beck supported it.

The only reason you dont like him is because he has called out the direct connections in the Obama admin to marxist, socialist, and communist groups/people. You could care less about the truth, you just dont want your pals called out.

The list out to get Beck is full of communists and socialists and worse. That right there is enough for me to side with Beck, even if I never heard of him before.
Great post , I live in a town where people openly say Marxists, socialists, and communists are just people with a different view that they share . How could anyone stand behind Obama if they don't believe Capitalism is bad ?
Its easy to see Beck is correct . If people don't think so they should take a closer look at Obama , not Beck .
