It's Official: Glenn Beck Has Lost His Mind By: Steve - January 29, 2010 - 9:30am It's time for the big men in white coats to pay Beck a visit, and escort him to the padded room. After the Obama SOTU speech Wednesday night Beck went crazy on his radio show, he said some of the most bizarre things I have ever heard. And remember this, O'Reilly, Fox News, and almost all the Republicans love this nut job, they worship him like a hero. O'Reilly even has him on his show every week, and they are on tour together. When the only place he should be is in a mental hospital under close observation. O'Reilly is a right-wing partisan, and a total spin doctor, but Beck is literally insane, just look at the things he said and then ask yourself what the hell is wrong with him. Responding to President Obama's State of the Union speech, Beck offered a series of bizarre comments, ranging from attacks on Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden, to baseless conspiracy theories. Beck claimed that Obama detailed his enemies list during the speech, a list he compared to similar lists from radicals including Lenin and Stalin, and warned his audience that we may be witnessing the beginning of a "dictorial kind of state" and that Obama will pick us off to send you a message. 1) Beck Called President Obama Arrogant, And a Liar. Beck attacked Obama by saying "there's no humility there," and cited the "the arrogance from the moment this guy walked in" and the "arrogance of the lies that he told last night." This is being totally disrespectful to the President of The United States. During the Bush years O'Reilly said everyone must respect and support the President, and even told then to shut up and support the President at a time of war. He even called Democrats who spoke out against Bush un-American America haters. But when Beck does it he says nothing, and even has him on his show every week, then goes on tour with the clown. O'Reilly even once did a segment with a legal expert a few years ago, asking if people who disrespected (and spoke out against) the President (while we are at war) could be put on trial for sedition. And of course the legal expert said no, but O'Reilly did an entire segment on it anyway. Then Beck does the very same thing, and O'Reilly is silent as a mouse. 2) Beck Compared Obama's Relationship With The American People to a Husband Cheating on His Wife. BECK: If you're cheating on your wife, and she's got pictures of you doing it with a chick, and you're like, Honey, no, absolutely not, do you have any respect for your wife? But if you're then treating her like an imbecile -- she's got access to the information -- there's no respect. No respect, and no fear. None. She's meaningless to you. That's what we have in the president.3) Beck said Obama is a punk for calling out an equal branch of government during State of the Union. After playing a clip of Obama disagreeing with the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United case in his address, Beck said: "This is an equal branch of government, and the president, humiliated -- like a punk -- calls them out last night." 4) Beck attacked Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, the Speaker of the House, and the Vice President of the United States, for the way they look: "Do you know how many children could be fed with just the amount of money in plastic surgery between Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden?" Beck added: "Did you see them sitting behind the president last night? Two things came to mind. First of all, I think Nancy Pelosi was just -- she may have a cold or something, she took NyQuil or whatever -- but she just like -- she was staring out in space, a few times I thought she was going to drool. I can't even look at her because of the plastic surgery." This is a personal attack on the 2nd and 3rd most powerful people in America. For the way they look, which even O'Reilly claims is wrong to do when liberals do it, but he never says a word about it when Republicans do it. Dennis Miller does the same thing every week on the Factor, but when liberals make fun of Sarah Palin O'Reilly flips out and attacks them for the jokes and the personal attacks. Beck does it and he is silent as a mouse. 5) After referencing Obama's criticism of TV pundits for "reducing serious debates to silly arguments, Beck suggested that Obama was talking about him, saying "Barack Obama, just mention us by name from here on out." He then concluded that Obama made an enemies list last night. He later added that "Keith, our phone screener, came in this morning and he said, Man, I pray for you every night. He said, Did you see that, what the president did? And I said, Yeah. And he said, The only thing he didn't say is, "Glenn Beck is an instigator." And it's -- and I looked at him and said, Oh, its coming. It's coming. Obama did not use any names, he was talking in general about the tv pundits on cable news who sidestep the real issues, and talk about silly stuff like death panels, etc. He was talking about pretty much everyone at Fox News, not just Glenn Beck. And it was not making an enemies list, he was just saying they should report the truth, instead of lying about things. That is not making an enemies list, it's just calling for them to stop being partisan liars. 6) Beck even claims that Obama's so-called enemies list is just like those made by Lenin, Stalin, and Hugo Chavez. Beck warned his audience that "if you look at the radicals in the past" -- of which Beck named Lenin, Stalin, and Hugo Chavez -- the enemies list is always the same." According to Beck, the enemies list always includes "the capitalists, the greedy industry owners, the banks, those who are speaking out against this movement and the dissenters in the media." 7) Beck also said that Obama will get away with his so-called lies because he "knows the media won't corner him." Beck then called the media traitors: Beck said, "The media is complicit. The media is damn near treasonous." 8) Beck warned his audience that they are coming to shut those people up who are dissenters, like Beck, and any one who has a megaphone or a microphone. He added that "they pick somebody out and make an example of them...all they have to do is pick us off to send you a message." Beck went on to say that he was begging his audience to do your homework now and know the news, know the constitution because there may come a time when there are no people speaking out in the media and there may be a time when you are the leader. You're the only voice that people will hear. He concluded: "Please, I beg of you, I beg of you: Pick the torch up, because there may come a time where you are the keeper of the flame, and if you do not pick up that flame when it is handed to you, if you don't pick that torch up, it will go out." WOW! Glenn Beck is a lunatic. And it's time for him to be put on some serious medication, that is crazy talk. That is the insane stuff you hear those nuts on the street who talk to themself say, it's pure insanity. And if anyone believes any of that insanity, I feel sorry for you. And remember this, O'Reilly and Fox News love this nut job, they worship him like a hero. When after this, it's pretty clear he needs mental help. Beck Calls The President An Arrogant Punk Liar By: Steve - January 28, 2010 - 9:00am Funny how times have changed, back when George W. Bush was the President O'Reilly and everyone at Fox News said it was wrong and un-American to disrespect the President by calling him names. Now that we have a Democrat in the White House it's a whole different story, now the Anchors at Fox make a living calling the President names, and O'Reilly never says a word about it. Glenn Beck called the President of The United States a punk, for simply saying he thinks the Supreme Court made a bad decision when they ruled Corporations can spend unlimited money in political elections. For that, he was called a punk by the low life piece of right-wing garbage Glenn Beck. And btw, Beck claims to be a man of the people, so he should be mad as hell over the Supreme Court decision, instead he sides with the Corporations over the people, and calls Obama a punk for saying they made a bad ruling. This should show you Beck lovers that he is actually a Corporate ass kissing right-wing con man, and you are the suckers who buy into his con. Then he called Obama arrogant and a liar. When most people thought it was a great SOTU speech, and almost a speech you would hear a Republican give. If a Republican gave that speech people like Beck would praise him for being tough and speaking his mind. but when a Democrat gives it somehow he is arrogant and a liar. How many times did Beck and his right-wing friends call Bush a liar in his eight years, answer - zero. This is classic Glenn Beck, and it's right out of the O'Reilly playbook. Total hypocrisy, and a total double standard. If you call a Republican President names you are un-American, but if you call a Democratic President names suddenly it's ok. Glenn Beck Wins Bronze In Worlds Worst Persons By: Steve - January 26, 2010 - 10:00am From the Monday 1-25-10 Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC: OLBERMANN: The bronze the Lonesome Roads Beck. Sometimes he is tough to follow, but not today. This morning on TV, he described the progressive method of operation as, quote, "if you can't win the argument, you have to shout them down. You have to call them racist. You have to call them names." This afternoon on radio he described progressives as, quote, "on a mission to keep it right. They're on a mission to make sure Nazis are right and Stalin just needs to be understood in context. Mao. What, no, Mao is China. It's OK." Progressives call Becky names, bad progressives. Becky called progressives pro Nazi, pro Mao, calls the president racist, that's OK. Becky be nuts. Beck Claims Progressives Do The Name Calling By: Steve - January 25, 2010 - 1:00pm I guess he forgot about a thing called the Tea Party protests. Where Obama was called everything from Hitler to Mao, from Communist to the Devil, it was endless. Not to mention all the names they call Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, etc. And a hell of a lot of it happens right on the Fox News Network, and the Fox website. I guess he forgot all that. During an event for their Bold Fresh Tour, portions of which aired during the January 25 edition of Fox & Friends, Bill O'Reilly asked Glenn Beck why progressives "want to hurt us," and Beck replied: BECK: If you can't win the argument, you have to shout them down, you have to call them racist, you have to call them names. You have to do whatever it is you have to do."In fact, Beck himself has a history of calling people, including President Obama, racist, shouting at those who disagree with him, and resorting to calling progressives names like evil, socialists, communists, and Marxists. Under hypocrisy in the dictionary it says see Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly. Because O'Reilly is also a giant hypocrite, and notice that O'Reilly says why do they want to hurt us, when nobody wants to hurt them, it's the conservatives who use religion and a gun to go shoot and kill liberals. Name one liberal who has grabbed a gun and killed a conservative, it has never happened. But many onservatives have killed abortion doctors, and they are proud of it, they even call the killer a hero, just do a google search on the "army of god" to see what I am talking about. Funny how Beck and O'Reilly never mention any of that. Beck says those against him "can't win the argument," so they resort to shouting, race-baiting, and name-calling.: O'REILLY: Why do you think there's a level of hatred against you and against me that there is? I mean, look, I was kidding about Bill Maher before. I don't hate Bill Maher.And that may be the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. Earth to Beck and O'Reilly, you two are the guys that lose the argument, and the conservatives are the people that want to hurt their political enemies. Just do a google search on it, and you will see the facts. Not to mention O'Reilly calls people names every night, but only liberals, he calls them nuts, loons, stupid, etc. Not to mention O'Reilly has a segment on his show where he calls someone a pinhead every single night. What I do is just give you some of your own medicine, you call liberals names so I call you names. The difference is, I do not cry and lie about it like a little bitch, like you two punks do. Beck even wrote a book called arguing with idiots/liberals, and on top of that he calls people more names than anyone in the media, except for maybe O'Reilly. Beck has called people Racists, Marxists, Vampires, Bloodsuckers, Nazis, Fascists, Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Pinheads, and on and on. Then he complains that liberals call him names, it's pure insantity, and the pot calling the kettle black. And btw, people hate Beck and O'Reilly because they are partisan right-wing spin doctors who spin and lie about everything, it has nothing to do with jealousy. And it's the Republicans who shout people down, look at what they did in the town hall meetings last year. They stormed the town hall meetings of Democrats, and only Democrats, then shouted all the liberals down so nobody could hear what they had to say. And yet crazy Beck and O'Reilly sit there and claim the liberals shout the conservaties down, it's ridiculous, and nothing but right-wing lies. Frank Rich: The Great Tea Party Rip-Off By: Steve - January 23, 2010 - 10:00am Here is a great article for anyone who wants to see the truth about the bogus Harry Reid "Negro" statement story, how RNC Chairman Michael Steele, Sarah Palin, and the entire tea party is one big scam to raise cash and make people wealthy. It's a must read, and I suggest everyone read it. Here are some highlights: RICH: Even given the low bar set by America's bogus conversations about race, the short-lived Harry Reid fracas was a most peculiar nonevent. For all the hyperventilation in cable news land, this supposed racial brawl didn't seem to generate any controversy whatsoever in what is known as the real world. Eugene Robinson, the liberal black columnist at The Washington Post, wrote that he was "neither shocked nor outraged" at Reid's less-than-articulate observation that Barack Obama benefited politically from being "light-skinned" and for lacking a "Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one." Besides, Robinson said, Reid's point was "surely true." Steele is representative of a fascinating but little noted development on the right: the rise of buckrakers who are exploiting the party's anarchic confusion and divisions to cash in for their own private gain. In this cause, Steele is emulating no one if not Sarah Palin, whose hunger for celebrity and money outstrips even his own. As many suspected at the time, her 2008 campaign wardrobe, like the doomed campaign itself, was just a preview of coming attractions: she would surely dump the bother of serving as Alaska's besieged governor for a lucrative star turn on Fox News. Both Steele and Palin claim to be devotees of the tea party movement. "I'm a tea partier, I'm a town-haller, I'm a grass-roots-er" is how Steele put it in a recent radio interview, wet-kissing a market he hopes will buy his book. Palin has far more grandiose ambitions. She recently signed on as a speaker for the first Tea Party Convention, even though she had turned down a speaking invitation from the annual Conservative Political Conference. The conservative conference doesn't pay. The Tea Party Convention does. Palin's price for the event was $120,000. The entire Tea Party Convention is a profit-seeking affair charging $560 a ticket - plus the cost of a room at the Opryland Hotel. Among the convention's eight listed sponsors is Tea Party Emporium. This emporium's Web site offers a bejeweled tea bag at $89.99 for those furious at "a government hell bent on the largest redistribution of wealth in history." This is almost as shameless as Glenn Beck, whose own tea party profiteering has included hawking gold coins merchandised by a sponsor of his radio show. Last week a prominent right-wing blogger, Erick Erickson of RedState.com, finally figured out that the Tea Party Convention "smells scammy," likening it to one of those Nigerian e-mails promising untold millions. Such rumbling about the movement's being co-opted by hucksters may explain why Palin used her first paid appearance at Fox last Tuesday to tell Bill O'Reilly that she would recycle her own tea party profits in political contributions. But Erickson had it right: the tea party movement is being exploited - and not just by marketers, lobbyists, political consultants and corporate interests but by the Republican Party, as exemplified by Palin and Steele, its most prominent leaders. Full Story Here: www.nytimes.com/rich.html More Tea Party Misinformation Exposed By: Steve - January 17, 2010 - 10:00am Beck and O'Reilly have said a hundred times that the Tea Party is not just a bunch of Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin loving right-wing nuts. Even though the evidence that they are exactly that is everywhere, including this story. Which btw, Beck and O'Reilly have totally ignored. Only Right-Wing Publications Will Get Credentials To Cover The Tea Party Convention Having previously announced that the National Tea Party Convention would be closed to the press, organizers suddenly announced yesterday that they have changed their mind. But, the Nashville Post is reporting that only five media organizations will receive credentials for the entire convention: The five approved outlets are: Fox News, Breitbart.com, Townhall.com, World Net Daily and The Wall Street Journal. And what a shocker, all five are Right-wing organizations, not. The press release explains that the requests for credentials have been overwhelming and that to preserve the nature of the event they are limiting press availability. Yeah, limiting it to all right-wing media so they can control the coverage they get, and makes sure it's all positive. Sarah Palin will deliver the key note address at the convention. What say you Billy, Palin is the keynote speaker, and only the right-wing media can cover it. Are you still claiming the Tea Party is not a bunch of right-wing idiots. Beck Attacks Obama For Dividing The Country By: Steve - January 17, 2010 - 9:30am How you ask, by responding so fast to the disaster in Haiti. I kid you not, the insane Glenn Beck thinks that because President Obama reacted so fast to the earthquake in Haiti it is diving our country. Which is even more insane than Beck saying Obama is a racist. Rush Limbaugh has received considerable criticism for politicizing the earthquake in Haiti last week with a series of insane remarks attacking President Obama. Limbaugh said the White House thinks it can use the disaster to boost its credibility with the "light-skinned and dark-skinned black community" in the U.S. Defending his comments, Limbaugh attacked Obama for speaking publicly about Haiti sooner than he had the failed Christmas Day terror attack. And then on Friday Glenn Beck jumped on the bandwagon. Here is what the right-wing moron said: BECK: I also believe this is dividing the nation, to where the nation sees him react so rapidly on Haiti and yet he couldn't react rapidly on Afghanistan. He couldn't react rapidly on Ft. Hood. He couldn't react rapidly on our own airplanes with an underwear bomber, it doesn't make sense. Three different events and Haiti is the only one. I think personally that it deepens the divide to see him react this rapidly to Haiti.Read that statement from Beck carefully, then think about this. The three events Beck said Obama did not react fast enough to, did not need a fast reaction. An earthquake that KILLS maybe 50,000 people needs a quick reaction. And anyone that hammers a President for reacting too quickly to a disaster needs to be locked in a padded room. It's insanity, Bush did not react at all when the shoe bomber tried to blow up an airplane in 2001, he only spoke about it in passing 6 days later. At the time not one conservative, or anyone in the media, said a word about Bush waiting 6 days to speak out on the shoe bomber. But now they claim Obama waited too long when he spoke about it after 72 hours, it's nothing but ridiculous partisan garbage. Polls even show that the majority of people were happy with the way Obama reacted to the attempted underwear bombing, and yet Beck and O'Reilly ignore the polls to claim Obama waited too long to speak out on the underwear bomber. If you want to know what dishonest partisan bias is, this is it, from Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and a lot of Republican idiots just like them. When Bush did the very same thing, and even waited 3 days longer, they said nothing. Proving they are biased dishonest hypocrites. Fox News Moron Caught Lying About Obama Spending By: Steve - January 17, 2010 - 9:00am O'Reilly and everyone at Fox News claim they are fair and balanced, and that they get such high ratings because they report the truth. So how do you explain the bias, the lies, the spin, and the lack of facts, that all make Obama or a Democrat look bad, they never do this to Republicans. Stuff like this right-wing idiot Eric Bolling put out Friday on the Glenn Beck show. And btw, this guy Bolling has been the fill-in for Beck and O'Reilly, look at these lies he put out, then ask yourself why you should ever believe anything he says. Then ask yourself how O'Reilly and Beck can use these proven liars to host their shows when they claim to be honest journalists. During the January 15th broadcast of the Glenn Beck show, Eric Bolling presented a chart titled "Obama's Checkbook" that showed what he claims is the Obama administration's new spending, but in fact it included a lot of spending from the Bush administration. BOLLING: The Obama administration certainly likes to spend your and my taxpayer dollars. Recently -- check it out -- they spent $700 billion on TARP, $787 billion on stimulus. $180 billion is either spent or lent to AIG. Don't forget the $115 billion -- these are all B's -- billion to Fannie and Freddie. $83 billion to cars. We're not going to see a dime of this. Don't forget the $1 trillion on health care, cap and trade, et cetera, et cetera.  And now let's take a look at the actual facts, the facts Bolling failed to report in his lie filled segment. 1) Bolling included $700 billion in "Obama's Checkbook" for TARP -- but Bush signed that check. TARP passed under George W. Bush, President Bush signed it into law on October 3, 2008, before Obama was even elected the next President, and a full 4 months before Obama took office on January 20, 2009. 2) Bolling included $180 billion in "Obama's Checkbook" for the AIG bailout -- but $150 billion of that was authorized during the Bush administration. On November 10, 2008, the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department announced a restructuring of AIG's bailout, increasing its total loan package to $150 billion. Then the Obama administration added $30 billion more to the AIG bailout in March of 2009. So Bush spent $150 Billion of the $180 Billion, yet Bolling counted it all against Obama. 3) Bolling included $115 billion in "Obama's Checkbook" for the Fannie May and Freddie Mac bailout. But the Bush administration seized Fannie and Freddie in Sept. 2008, then they pledged up to $200 billion to them. On September 8, 2008, the federal government seized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Treasury agreed to provide up to $200 billion in capital to the two entities. This was all done by George W. Bush, yet Bolling counted it against Obama. 4) Bolling also included $83 billion in "Obama's Checkbook" for the GM/Chrysler bailout -- of which Bush allocated $17.4 billion. President Bush allocated $17.4 billion to GM and Chrysler in Dec. 2008. On December 19, 2008, President Bush made available $13.4 billion of TARP funds to General Motors and Chrysler and agreed to release an additional $4 billion to G.M. under this plan in February 2009. And yet, Bolling counted it all against Obama. And the rest of the $64 Billion Obama gave them in 2009 was a follow up to the plan Bush started, so they would not go out of business. This right-wing a-hole Bolling lied his ass off, and you can bet that every one of the people watching the Beck show that day now think Obama spent all that money, when the facts show that Bush spent most of it. And the money Obama did spend, was to keep the programs Bush started going. Not to mention Bolling never said a word about Bush spending any of that money, or the fact that what Bush did to the financial markets, the housing markets, and the economy when he was the President, are why any of that money had to be spent in the first place. Bolling blames it all on Obama like he caused it, without once saying Bush caused about 99% of it. This is what passes as journalism on the Fox News Network. Lies, and partisan attacks on President Obama to make him look bad, when the facts show the Republican George W. Bush is to blame for almost all of it. This is not journalism, it's partisan Republican propaganda, and the powers at Fox let it happen, in fact, they approve of it, when they know it's all lies. Then O'Reilly and Beck tell us they are reporting the truth so watch them, which is just laughable. Here it is in black and white, look at it, Bolling reported almost all lies, to smear Obama and make him look bad, when Bush did 99% of it. Beck Will Be Headline Speaker At CPAC By: Steve - January 15, 2010 - 10:00am Remember this, Beck says that he is not a partisan right-wing conservative, that his show is independent, and not about left or right, etc. etc. etc. If that is all true, why is he going to be the headline speaker at the #1 Republican conference in America. What say you Beck? Last year Rush Limbaugh was the keynote speaker at CPAC, the annual gather of right-wing nuts. This year the honor goes to Glenn Beck. Which should put to rest any doubts that right-wing media figures own the Republican Party. In fact, it looks like the Republican party has three leaders. Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh, all far right nut jobs. Politico's Michael Calderone reported that Beck said of his selection, "CPAC is my kind of people." An astute observation to be sure given the wing-nuttery on display at CPAC gatherings in years past: -- Coulter's CPAC reference to Edwards as a "faggot"You might have expected the new Fox News contributor and half-term former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to take the role as keynote rather than Beck. Well, apparently CPAC doesn't pay its speakers unlike the National Tea Party Convention. Palin will be the keynote speaker at the Tea Party Convention, because they are paying her $100,000. Beck & Palin -- Stupid In Stereo By: Steve - January 14, 2010 - 9:00am Simon Maloy at Media Matters wrote this about the Beck/Palin interview on the Glenn Beck show. MALOY: I'm watching the Glenn Beck interview of Sarah Palin, and it's really leaving me speechless that two people who are so woefully and determinedly uninformed have such an impact on the national discourse. Beck just asked Palin if she'd heard about the Federal Reserve's record profits for last year, and then bemoaned that "nobody's having hearings on the Fed, nobody is looking for a windfall profit tax on the Fed, we can't even open the Fed's books." Palin responded by thanking Beck for "bringing this to light," adding: "I don't know anybody else who is." There's a very simple reason why no one else is talking about taxing the Fed's profits or having hearings or even discussing this -- because people who care to know what they're talking about already know that 100 percent of the Fed's profits go to the Treasury. Every single cent. There is no talk of a windfall profits tax because it's already effectively at 100 percent. Perhaps if Beck put his crack research staff on the case, or if Palin spent a little less time lying on Facebook, they would know basic facts like these before making (greater) fools of themselves on national television. President Obama And The Word Terrorism By: Steve - January 8, 2010 - 9:30am This is getting ridiculous, even though President Obama has used the word terrorist and terrorism many many times, Republicans are still saying he never uses the word terrorist or terrorism. In a Washington Times op-ed yesterday, Monica Crowley advanced the false right-wing talking point that President Obama does not use the word "terror" when describing attacks on the United States; on the January 6 Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade echoed Crowley's attack, falsely claiming that the Obama administration "won't even acknowledge that we're in the war on terror or that a terror strike could occur." Republican Senator Jim DeMint and Republican Congressman Peter King have also made the same dishonest claims. And now here are the facts. 1) President Obama routinely uses the word "terror" and did so in discussing the attempted Christmas Day attack. In his weekly address only 24 hours before DeMint made his claim, Obama used the term 'terror,' 'terrorism,' or 'terrorists' a half dozen times. 2) In response to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to bomb a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day, President Obama addressed the nation on the incident and repeatedly described the attack as a "terrorist attack." From his December 28 remarks: OBAMA: Good morning, everybody. I wanted to take just a few minutes to update the American people on the attempted terrorist attack that occurred on Christmas Day and the steps we're taking to ensure the safety and security of the country.That was said on 12-28-09, of last year. Obama used the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" and suspected "terrorist" over and over, and that was in just one speech. Then on 12-29-09 President Obama talked about it again, and used the words terrorist and terrorism. OBAMA: Good morning. Yesterday I updated the American people on the immediate steps we took -- the increased screening and security of air travel -- to keep our country safe in the wake of the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day.Call me crazy, but it looks to me like President Obama used the word "terrorist" at least 3 times, in just that one day on 12-29-09. Then on 12-31-09 President Obama used the word terrorism again. OBAMA: This morning, I spoke with John Brennan about preliminary assessments from the ongoing consultations I have ordered into the human and systemic failures that occurred leading up to the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas Day.Earth to right-wing idiots, President Obama uses the word "terrorism" all the time, so stop lying about it. He even said it again on 1-2-10 and 1-5-10. In his January 2nd weekly address, President Obama repeatedly used "terror" or some variation of the word to discuss the attempted Christmas Day attack and other terrorist actions. On January 5th, President Obama used some form of the word "terror" at least eight different times. In his January 5 remarks on the attempted Christmas Day attack, Obama used the words "terrorist," "terrorism," "counterterrorism," or some variation of the word at least eight different times. Case closed, game over. The facts are in, and they show the Republicans and Fox News to be proven liars, and that is a fact. Notice that Glenn Beck has not said a word about these right-wing lies, he has not defended President Obama, and he has not reported on these lies from Monica Crowley, Jim DeMint, Peter King, or the people at Fox News. Beck Said Ted Kennedy Lead A Long Evil Life By: Steve - January 7, 2010 - 9:00am Here we go, Beck is already starting on the Ted Kennedy attacks, after the man died and can not defend himself. Beck said this on his radio show. This proves what kind of person Beck is, scum. There was no doubt Beck was going to insult Ted Kennedy after he died, and it was not a matter of if, but when. Right-Wing World Net Daily Attacks Glenn Beck By: Steve - January 5, 2010 - 10:00am Now this is a good one, the right-wing WND attacked the right-wing Glenn Beck because he is not as crazy as they are over the birther nonsense. This may be a first, Beck being less crazy than some other right-winger. I never thought it possible, but I guess there is a first for everything. And the only reason Beck says the birther movement is crazy is because it makes the majority of Republicans look bad, otherwise he would agree with them 100 percent. On his radio show yesterday, Glenn Beck lampooned the birther movement, saying its claim that Obama is not an American citizen is the "dumbest thing I've ever heard." Beck argued that the birthers agitation is actually a dream come true for Obama because they are constantly discrediting themselves and making all conservatives look foolish. Then the far-right website WorldNetDaily (WND), which has led the birther charge, took offense to the way Beck described its argument. While both Beck and WND both traffic in extreme anti-Obama fear mongering, the site nevertheless accused Beck of sounding reminiscent of Obama's apologists in the media: Birthers, however, reflect a far greater diversity of opinion than is assumed by Beck's characterization. While other top radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and Lou Dobbs, have all said unequivocally and publicly that the Obama eligibility issue is legitimate and worthy, a few - including Beck and fellow Fox TV host Bill O'Reilly - have taken the position that the issue is, in O’Reilly's words, bogus.Both Beck and O'Reilly cite the contemporaneous appearance of birth announcements in two Honolulu newspapers as prima facie evidence Obama was born in Hawaii and said the birthers are conspiracy nuts. And Beck is usually putting out these right-wing conspiracy theories, but the completely baseless smear that Obama was not born in the U.S. seems to be a bridge too far, even for him. Coulter Caught Lying On The Glenn Beck Show By: Steve - January 2, 2010 - 9:00am Beck and his fill ins let Coulter spew out lies about Obama, with no correction, ever. Not even after it was reported she lied, they still refuse to do a correction. And btw, Coulter and people like her, Rove, Morris, Gingrich, etc. get caught in lies almost every day, yet everyone at Fox News keeps putting them back on the air to tell even more lies. What we need is a three strike rule for tv news shows, you get caught in three lies and you are out, off the air forever. But that will never happen, because it would put Beck and Fox News out of business. |
