StillOfTheNight: I gave my opinion on a topic that was posted for discussion. It may not be the popular opinion but I am just as entitled to post my opinion on this as anyone else, even if it is unpopular.
When you said you "don't like anyone who dictates to us what we should believe and what is right and wrong" it was a valid 'opinion' but in no way reflects the reality which we understand to be Beck.
When Freddy said "I've never heard him say that you can't change the channel" and I said that Beck "is famous for saying to not take his word for it but to do your own research" both of us were expressing our knowledge of the subject which is that in no way does he dictate anything to anybody.

Hell, I've got the market cornered on unpopular comments. Don't feel like the lone ranger.
trish123: conservatives are a dying breed - thankfully
Common Trish....don't be angry....because Beck outed Vance Jones, told on the Obama connection to liberated Christianity, explained to us his socialist connections....
Glenn Beck is an absolute joke. Nowhere other than America would this guy get a media job. At least he admits he is no journalist. Does anyone know whether he is just a person of below average intelligence or has he a genuine intellectual disability. I'm not joking here it's a serious question, because his behaviour would indicate he may have some sort of special needs.
I say that as someone who has worked with kids with special needs.

But when he gets under the skins of liberals around the world.....we know he is on to something......

In order for him to get under my skin, I would have to either value his opinion, respect him as a human being or take him seriously. None of these apply. I just like laughing at him on youtube as I do any comedy video. Which is essentially what this guy's 'analysis' is. Comedy.

patmac: I know the question is for Trish but, I reckon the banking collapse and the fact Governments tried to hush it until they realised the extent of the problem and the slow realisation of the American public of just how much the balance of payments is (also in most developed countries) has had a serious effect and folk are looking at the future in a different light. As always JMO..
Didn't stop them voting in the Tories Pat. New Labour are hardly anti-conservative either. In Ireland it's just a case of which right-wingers are we going to choose to destroy the country for the next 5 years. Unfortunately conservatism is going nowhere.
That just means I have an opinion on him, not that he gets under my skin. Bill O' Reilly gets under my Skin, Hannity gets under my skin, this guy is just comic relief.

Come on admit it...when Beck first shows and then proves a relationship between Pres. Obama and Bill Ayers....that is news worthy.

You sound like you would do well to become one of Keith Olbermann's fans on PMSNBC. He'd love to have you watch. That would get him up to an audience of 4 people.
scriobhneoir: Considering I have no idea who Bill Ayers is, I'll have to take your word on that.
I suggest you watch more of Glenn Beck. You'll learn about him being a 60's US terrorist and a friend of Obummer. Beck is only one of several commentators who have discussed Bill Ayers.
scriobhneoir: Oh yeah now I know what you are talking about. I'm guessing Beck didn't do an expose of Rumsfeld and Bush senior arming Sadaam Hussein to the teeth? Or of how Bin Laden's family were given safe passage out of the country?
Oh and Olberman is brilliant. Unlike the likes of Beck and O' Reilly, he actually knows what he is talking about too.
actually most of Saddams Arms came from the Eastern Block!

The 2000 Tanks and APCs that Sadam had were all Soviet equipment. His light infantary weapons were all Soviet. His artillery came from S. Africa. His SCUDs came from North Korea and Russia. 1/2 of his fighter were from France....the Mirages. The other half were Soviet M-21s.
So what did the US give him? During the Iran and Iraq war the US provided him with satellite imagery. That told him were the build up of Iranian troops were. Were to focus his defense. There might have been some hard point bombs for Mirages. But the rest of our munitions are the wrong calibers for Soviet weapons to fire.

Lefthand twist of the Russian Artillery-Pieces didn't help either.

You're starting to sound like barak hussein obama and his enemies. Don't be paranoid.
