18. Obama do you not hear the cries of the 30% of the country that disagress with you?
Oh yeah, that's because your too busy focusing on the 60%+ that actually approve of your job performance and don't want you to cave into the Conservative idiocy that got us in a mess in the first place. You Socialist! Look we can disagree on policy, but please just agree with every policy that Glenn Beck supports. Otherwise you'll lose the psychotic-white-lunatic vote in 2012. :sarcasm:

46. And yet, when you suggest the return of the Fairness Doctrine
people here jump all over you.

It doesn't matter how much we break up the media (if indeed anyone is ever going to do that), wingnuts will flock to this stuff wherever it is and watch it all day every day.

With the Fairness Doctrine back, they could only do this for as many hours as they were going to let saner heads reply.

22. Beck did not vote for change
Beck's viewers did not vote for change. They lost. In a democracy, when you vote for the side that loses, the guy you did not like gets to run the country. As a citizen, you are not obligated to the happy with the result, but at some point you have to accept defeat for what it is, and then work for victory the next time around. This was my lot from Jan. 2001 to Jan. 2009. Mr. Beck, it is now your turn.

taking our cues from the French Revolution, the Terror, the right arm of the people (which we will set up in front of the Jefferson Memorial), and all that mayhem. Beck would really buy it and probably have a stroke on-air.

What needs to happen is that people like YOU need to be pro-active about the assholes who are dragging your country down and, despite Obama's efforts, making sure it continues to be seen as the basket case of the world.

27. disenfranchise?
he does not even know what that word means.
obama has been elected. the FRANCHISEMENT is over.
he likes the sound of the word.

kinda like he likes the sounds of

socialism!

and facism!

truth is glenn beck would not know fascism if landed on an aircraft carrier, pretending to be a fighter pilot under a mission accomplished banner and gave a speech about major combat operations being over.

same goes for franchisement. he is truly very hilarious.
like stephen colbert except glenn beck's persona.......is REAL!
hilarious and horrifying.all at the same time.

Hilari-fying!

44. the only acoountability comes from us, the consumer..


...but it's hard to get people involved. I spend a short time each day (mon-fri) usually less than 30 minutes, calling and emailing sponsors of these clowns (beck, hannity, etc. ) explaining why i can no longer buy their product. These calls will work if enough people get involved.

52. Robert Schlesinger-Glenn Beck's "Light Me On Fire" Immigration Moment—The Nuttiness Continues
Let's set aside the fact of accusing a black president of leading the country toward slavery ... I love it when conservatives, having been trounced in the last couple of elections, take it upon themselves to lecture on the (invariably conservative) meaning of said elections. We didn't vote for any of that stuff? Well yes, that's true—Beck almost certainly didn't vote for that. He presumably voted for more GOP rule.

It reminds me of an old Beavis & Butt-head exchange where an incensed Beavis says My uncle didn't go to Vietnam so you damn hippies could burn the flag. Butt-head: Beavis, your uncle was never in Vietnam. Beavis: That's what I said. My uncle didn't go to Vietnam .

Anyway, the video's below. It's worth watching to the end for Beck's concluding insane giggle. As Hot Air's Allahpundit notes, Inside Cable News calls it an Olbermann moment, but ...

It isn't, exactly — Olby takes his Special Comments way too seriously to indulge in the sort of shtick with gasoline that Beck tries here — but it's close enough. We're not even three months into Obama's term and already he's screaming on air. How's he going to deal with another three-plus years? What's especially weird is the instant transition from light-hearted sight gag to seething outrage. Either he's acting or his mind is ... highly nuanced.

Don't get me wrong, he's WAY over the line lately but I can't help feeling sorry for the guy because he's so obviously off his rocker. The man's gone completely Dagenham live on air and the RW audience is so used to their spokesmen acting crazy that they don't notice when the guy has legitimatly lost his mind and desperately needs some help.
