Interesting article: The Racist Truth About Beck and Limbaugh

[Fast_Eddie]

I saw an interesting quote that I think speaks to Glenn Beck and the statements he has made in the past.

Just give it time, man. If not Fox News, then ClearChannel radio along with Limbaugh and Savage.
I mean, they want the Fairness Doctrine back, right? Gotta make room for all viewpoints...

See, what happened was the woman had a miscarriage. And Beck said "hey, wouldn't it be a funny joke if we ambushed her on the air and made fun of her husband!?" Great joke Glenn. Yuck, yuck. So tell me again why I should take anything you say seriously? Ever? No chance this is just your latest gag on the listeners? No chance at all? Noooooh. He wouldn't go *that* far. Well, maybe he would. Congrats Glenn. Best gag ever.

Trouble is that is not a viewpoint, simply tapping into an open sewer.

You can't expect to get better, if you spend your life carrying guilt or remorse around on a daily basis. The key is to find some sort of forgiveness so that you can move on. You don't deny your past either, but once forgiven, you can stop whipping yourself. I wonder what kind of guy Obama could be, if he got honest with himself? Hmmm

AA philosophy is a radical approach for the weak and socially starved.

Hmmm, I feel strong as a bull moose noon, and have more friends than you can shake a stick at? Looks like your full of it again.

Apropos this thread, this recent Facebook Poll was disturbing...caught the attention of the Secret Service too: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/s...ory?id=8696126

They pulled the same stuff and worse on GW too. There's a lot of hate in this country, a lot of hate.
