What a total waste of tv time and space. He’s simultaneously dull and annoying. Who wants to watch and listen to a grey haired, fat, middle aged man prattle on about crap. I couldn’t get further than about a minute watching this wanker.

He’s so incredibly boring and irrelevant that I am stunned I’ve actually spent time concocting this post. In fact don’t bother replying he’s not worth it.
Why is it that there is an over-abundance of these nerks in this country?

Equal over-abundance of sheep that need leading every step of the way.

I feel blessed to work at an educational institution with free-thinkers. Any time I interact with the majority of the yokels, I feel ashamed to live here.

I just googled Glenn Beck, what is it about some of these drug addicts/alchoholics who've done all this shit and then become right wingers?
Is hypocrisy their new addiction?

http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck
Beck, Rush, Ann, etc. are entertainers who have seen that outrageous statements, spoken or written, will bring an audience. They work with a particular idealogical view that polarizes the audiences into lovers and haters, they don't care because both side watch, listen or read. There is a fascination, looking into the eyes of a snake, even when hating it or terrified of it. It's like going to a a succession of wrestling matches, hoping that the villain will be beaten, but knowing that it won't be in the script.
Are they a passing fad then? Surely we've had our quota and can move on to the next, best thing in entertainment?

I'm surprised that no one tries to take a pop at them here, to be honest. I mean, I wouldn't get worked up about them but I'm not from here, nor take them that seriously.

Was kind of funny when Michelle Malkin was putting up names and addresses of war protestors in California and then someone put hers up on a blog and she had to move house - too bad, so sad.....

Oh yeah..........Michelle 'My parents emigrated to the United States and now I won't let anyone in the country......legal or not' Malkin. Another douchebag.

Worse than that, her parents were here on a work visa and she was born here, getting US citizenship but wants to stop the practise of "anchor babies" getting citizenship that way. Unbelievable......

:grin:

well said!

This like it of not is free speech.
and the outragious are on the wings of both parties .

Mostly those who preach hate do harm to the course they are supposidly supporting not help it .
point is you helped him get attention ( thats what he wants ) id never heard of him until this post .. if you hear see something outragious and hatefull from whtever direction ignore it ......

the attention anne cunter ( spelt wrong intentionally ) got by her statments sold another mill books .
I don't know.

However, I have found this person is on before or after Nancy Grace on Headlines News. I used to love the Headline News channel when it just did the 30 min broadcasts.

Being that I work funny hours, it was always nice to be able to watch it whenever you wanted. But now it seems that for about eight hours a day, Headline News has been hijacked with silly programmes.

Can't CNN get another channel like BCNN to put these arseholes on or something? (Bullshit Cable News Network)

PS........John, I liked your typo.

We have been on this board you and I a long time ( perhaps longer than any other existing member ) and have had lots of discussions and choice to disagree on many things . one thing though we ahve shared thoughout the years .

A sence of humour, twisted as it might be :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I couldn't give toss what he's banging on about, he's just so boring and irrelevant I can't believe this saddo is on CNN.
I have to say, I saw him one day and he was talking about a sex offender that was let loose and them killed a little girl and put her under the steps of his front porch. His idea of what to do with that guy, was quite sensible. I think he said what most people are afraid to say, but I haven't watched since. Can't waist my time on someone like him, he tries too hard. I don't like CNN anyway!

Can you imagine him, O'Reilly and that dude Geraldo Rivera together on the same channel?
