- "Where would Glenn Beck be if he couldn't incessantly make up straw man caricatures of what libs and progressives think, with those caricatures bearing zero resemblance to what we actually think?"

- "... And I love how Beck and his Fox-infected ilk are always talking about Europe as though it were the Roman Empire or something, a completely collapsed society, some hell where the evil liberal/Marxist/Nazi/whatever utopia was tried and ended in failure. I don't see why it's so difficult for these freaks to understand that while Europe may have its problems, it's really okay (just like the U.S.). I guess when your audience has been trained to think everyone else in the world is evil, you don't have to worry too much about them actually going there and seeing that you're full of it."

- "Beck babbles on about how America is on the verge of collapse all the time, so I can only assume the "they" he's referring to are the voices in his head."

- "Let's be clear Beck. No one is saying the American experiment has failed. What we are saying is the the conservative trickle down, deregulate everything that moves grand socioeconomic experiment of the late 20th and early 21st centuries has failed... in the most spectacular and catastrophic manner. All the data are in. It clearly and indisputably has failed. Time to try something else."

3. Yeah, it's very easy for them. They just make up "facts" to suit their premise

And by "facts" I mean fabrications. They don't deal in reality. Period.

5. Glenn Beckkk is as crazy as a bedbug.

He's in Rev. Jim Jones mode 24/7.

6. Beck is just a sniveling playground bully

protected by billionaire bully Rupert Murdoch.

Like all sniveling bullies he'll turn your own words back on you, tell lies and make up anything to annoy you. But he's just a little bully hanging on the coat tails of the big guys.

He reminds me of the cowardly lion, just one prick of his blustering bubble and you know he'd start blubbing uncontrollably.

8. I guess Glenn's upset the US hasn't followed in the footsteps of George Lincoln Rockwell
