    by the way, does the tea party tell you to buy gold??

    Whats wrong with buying gold. The way we're printing money it's not like the dollar is going to be worth anything.

    Seriously though, what is wrong with investing gold besides the fact that Beck promotes it and you guys don't like him? I laugh when people say Fox is not a news chanel. What do people call real news? What ever Sarah Palin is wearing. :D

    aerial, the tea party events were promoted and encouraged by fox news. that means hard right. the endorsement of glenn beck means hard right. also the racist and hate filled posters seen that these events were disgusting. most of them were anti-obma, pro life, and pro gun, which are all hard right issues. i have never seen a "liberal" holding up a sign with obama as the joker, a picture of an aborted fetus, or a picture of a pile of bodies from Dachau with the caption "national socialist healthcare 1942"...these were all from the tea rally, so whether you will admit it or not, the tea party is hard right. why else would they be going after congresspeople in the gop because they are too liberal? they are trying to hijack the GOP and pull it way right. if you can't see that then you are either blind, in denial, or too foolish to realize it. you can say all you want about it being non-partisan, but anybody who is even half awake will never EVER believe you saying that.


    Yeah those damn Tea parties. Nothing but abunch of racist far right wingers. :roll: :lol: With all due respect You really need to educate youself because you make your self look stupid everytime you bring up the Tea parties

    You know I've often wondered if he's the little kid in that movie A Christmas story. Of course I know it's not he's to old, but I bet he looked a lot like him when he was a kid though.

    are you going to debate my assertions in my post above or just attack me and say i look stupid??

    the problem is i debate what i can prove, and everythihng in that post can be proven. you just dance around it and ignore the point in favor of attacking me.

    First off I was not calling you stupid. I said you look stupid when you make these ridicolous assertions.
    So I will take them one at a time.

    the tea party events were promoted and encouraged by fox news.

    wrong:
    The tea parties were started by this person and not to mention Seattle of all places.
    Keli Carender, who blogs as “Liberty Belle” spread the word about a grass-roots protest she was organizing in Seattle to raise her voice against the passage of the trillion-dollar stimulus/porkulus/Generational Theft Act of 2009. It’s the first time she had ever jumped into political organizing of any kind. She is not affiliated with any “corporate lobbyist” or think tank or national taxpayers’ organization. She’s a young conservative mom who blogs. Amazingly, she turned around the event in a few days all on her own by reaching out on the Internet, to her local talk station, and to anyone who would listen.

    Im sure you will say that this isn't tru because it comes from a right wing web site but it's all I could find.


    As far as the signs you mentioned. There are going to be a few nuts at any protest. What if I were to say all the anti war protestors were nothing but abunch of far left kooks that hated America. and there were some there but to say everyone there felt the same wouldn't be true .

    and as far as Glen Beck goes he 's not far right by any means. You need to go listen to Michael Savage if you want to hear someone that's far right. Furthermore I very seiously doubt that Barbra Walters would have included him in her 10 Most Fascinating people if he was some far right hate monger.

    Again gimmie I was not attacking you. I think you should know me by now that I don't attack people on here,but I apologies if that's the way you took it.
    Well Im going to go decorate my Christmas tree now.
    Merry Christmas :)

    yeah beck is not far right he is only asking questions... :roll:

    were these events and protests NOT promoted on FOX news? were they not telling people when and where to meet up for them?? did this one woman encourage the disruptions at the town hall meetings? absolutely not. those were organized by other far right organizations like dick armey's. she may have started this with good intentions but look at the outcome. disorganization and the inability to agree on one message, and the far right lunatics in this movement are coming out as leaders of this movement.

    Jesus man it's really pointless trying to discuss anything with you sometimes. I just gave you a link that shows you that your wrong about this. Yet you continue to discredit the Tea parties with your immature comments or links. And wasn't Pelosi that called them Nazis? Oh yeah and as far as I know Not one person was arrested at any of these events. As far as Beck goes if you think that's far right then it's pretty obviuos you don't know what you're talking about. He's a libertarian and he's also got an open invatation to anyone from the Obama administration to come on his show and prove him wrong and he's got a red phone sitting on his desk that's a direct line to the whitehouse and they could call him anytime they wanted. Yet they choose not to. There's not even anybody on the left that will answer his questions. What about the show he had on last month ? The entire audience was made up of Black Democrates,Republicans,Independents,and people that voted for Obama that are fed up with what is happening in our country. You really think that they go on his show if he was a far right racist that some on the left make him out to be ?
    I don't understand why they wont just go on their and shut him up. It would put an end to all of this.It would make national headlines.

    after reading some of 1984, finally, I am convinced that fox news works for the ministry of truth. somewhere in their corporate buildings they are going over old news clippings and changing what is in them and burning the real copies. obviously that is not happening but there are definitely some stark comparisons between fox news and the ministry of truth that is part of the Party. I am sure they would support such a thing as 2 minutes of hate or even a hate week!

    its so sad because I know a lot of people who I think have at least half a brain, who watch that channel, and think that it is real news.

    I am sorry if I have offended anyone but as plough jogger put it, "its time to rise up and put a stop to it!!"

    So now you want to silence people that don't share the same views you do ? I've said it a hundred times all you far left kooks are the same . All of you are for freedom of speech until you disagree with what is being said or it doesn't fit in with your ideology. The fact is fox news continues grow in ratings while all the others continue to drop.

    So because their ratings are high or the best that means they're being truthful/fair and balanced in their broadcasting. I watch Fox News just as much as I watch MSNBC but it doesn't mean I take either news broadcast as the gospel truth. I believe it's best to get your the news, my news from independent listener supported stations that aren't influenced my the corporate financial world.

    your link proves NOTHING. it is making excuses, like trying to doctor or construct a public image. that is all.
    weren't there people wearing nazi regalia there? skinheads with shirts and neonazi suspenders and boots? what is wrong with pelosi calling it as she saw it? its the same thing as you assuming everyone there perfect angels for not being arrested. by the way, do you have a source that says nobody was arrested? i recall there were some arrests. didnt these people storm into their congressman's office and cause a disturbance? and wasn't this encouraged by bachmann, blunt, and fox news staff that spoke at the rally?? i could go on and on...

    he claims to be a libertarian, but he sows FEAR and plays to the lowest common denominator. he DUMBS DOWN politics. he takes a legitimate policy discussion and makes it like he is talking to a bunch of 5th graders. libertarians tend to be intellectuals, yet beck plays to the stupidest factions of our society and capitalizes on their fears and plays to them. he says the government is out to get you, obama will kill you with his health care reform, obama is gonna take your guns, the economy will collapse if you dont have gold, etc...there is a difference between a talk show host presenting his views and serious discusion and one that irresponsibly tries to incite a movement. it is haphazard and irresponsible.

    do you honestly think that anyone in the obama administration would give beck the time of day or the respect to actually go on his program? would any of beck, o'reilly, savage go on bill maher, olberman, or even the daily show? absolutely not. why dignify the other side with your presence, or why give the other side the satisfaction or even make their show SEEM legitimate by going on there. obama officials would not legitimize beck by going on there, and neither should they. god knows oreilly was a good sport for going on letterman, but he is a comedian, not an actual social commentator, so there is a difference there as well.

    i wish someone would go in there and shut him up, but the guy has to make a living. if an administration official goes in there and owns him, it validates him and he will see his support increase because he will have been verbally assaulted by "the enemy"...quite frankly this administration has bigger things to do with its time..

    LOL, now i have heard everything.... have you ever heard of props? i am so SURE beck has a red phone to the white house. is that supposed to be like commissioner gordon with a red phone to batman? its a fucking joke, and a prop. as if anyone at the white house has a direct line to beck's desk lol...is that like andy warhol's phone to god??

    There are many things going on in the world that I would not know about if I was watching news stations that are competing for ratings, not just fox news but all the mainstream news organizations.

    Check out democracynow.org and see what is about. Im not really a leftist or a rightist, I dont prescribe to any political faction, but I have seen and read enough to know what is real and what isn't. like my good friend phartman says over at phartman.com, real recognizes real.

    Whatever It doesn't matter. No matter where the link comes from you will never accept the truth becuase you don't want to. If anybody was arreested at these events the lame stream media would have reported it by now because they and people like you want to trash and discredit them any way you can and I think it's sickening.
    You seem to have this elitist, I know everything ,and Im better than you attitude and it's pretty sad.

    the economy will collapse if you dont have gold,

    It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that you should think about diversifying. in 2001 gold was $276 an ounce now it's almost $900

    i wish someone would go in there and shut him up, but the guy has to make a living. if an administration official goes in there and owns him, it validates him and he will see his support increase because he will have been verbally assaulted by "the enemy"...quite frankly this administration has bigger things to do with its time..

    Um... wouldn't it validate the obama administration. If someone like Axelrod went on his show. Afterall he's full of lies.Also Bill Mahr has been on O'reilly several times.
    LOL, now i have heard everything.... have you ever heard of props? i am so SURE beck has a red phone to the white house. is that supposed to be like commissioner gordon with a red phone to batman? its a fucking joke, and a prop. as if anyone at the white house has a direct line to beck's desk lol...is that like andy warhol's phone to god??

    Prop huh ? Whatever :roll: You're entitiled to your opinion and I respect it but I personally think you're wrong and very misguided on this subject. Can we agree to disagree ?

    after reading some of 1984, finally, I am convinced that fox news works for the ministry of truth. somewhere in their corporate buildings they are going over old news clippings and changing what is in them and burning the real copies. obviously that is not happening but there are definitely some stark comparisons between fox news and the ministry of truth that is part of the Party. I am sure they would support such a thing as 2 minutes of hate or even a hate week!

    its so sad because I know a lot of people who I think have at least half a brain, who watch that channel, and think that it is real news.

    I am sorry if I have offended anyone but as plough jogger put it, "its time to rise up and put a stop to it!!"


    So now you want to silence people that don't share the same views you do ? I've said it a hundred times all you far left kooks are the same . All of you are for freedom of speech until you disagree with what is being said or it doesn't fit in with your ideology. The fact is fox news continues grow in ratings while all the others continue to drop.

    are you accusing him of hating freedom? wow, how 2003...

    seriously tho, ratings have nothing to do with anything, but the higher becks numbers are the crazier he gets..

    your link proves NOTHING. it is making excuses, like trying to doctor or construct a public image. that is all.
    weren't there people wearing nazi regalia there? skinheads with shirts and neonazi suspenders and boots? what is wrong with pelosi calling it as she saw it? its the same thing as you assuming everyone there perfect angels for not being arrested. by the way, do you have a source that says nobody was arrested? i recall there were some arrests. didnt these people storm into their congressman's office and cause a disturbance? and wasn't this encouraged by bachmann, blunt, and fox news staff that spoke at the rally?? i could go on and on...


    Whatever It doesn't matter. No matter where the link comes from you will never accept the truth becuase you don't want to. If anybody was arreested at these events the lame stream media would have reported it by now because they and people like you want to trash and discredit them any way you can and I think it's sickening.
    You seem to have this elitist, I know everything ,and Im better than you attitude and it's pretty sad.

    the economy will collapse if you dont have gold,

    It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that you should think about diversifying. in 2001 gold was $276 an ounce now it's almost $900

    i wish someone would go in there and shut him up, but the guy has to make a living. if an administration official goes in there and owns him, it validates him and he will see his support increase because he will have been verbally assaulted by "the enemy"...quite frankly this administration has bigger things to do with its time..

    Um... wouldn't it validate the obama administration. If someone like Axelrod went on his show. Afterall he's full of lies.Also Bill Mahr has been on O'reilly several times.
    LOL, now i have heard everything.... have you ever heard of props? i am so SURE beck has a red phone to the white house. is that supposed to be like commissioner gordon with a red phone to batman? its a fucking joke, and a prop. as if anyone at the white house has a direct line to beck's desk lol...is that like andy warhol's phone to god??

    Prop huh ? Whatever :roll: You're entitiled to your opinion and I respect it but I personally think you're wrong and very misguided on this subject. Can we agree to disagree ?

    Peace.
    truth is a relative term. your version of truth is different than mine. it DOES matter where the link comes from. any page with ancient html and crap graphics tells me the owner of the site is not dumping money into it to upgrade it for 2 reasons. 1. they can not secure funds to do so, or 2. they know they are full of shit, like most of the blog sites you post on here, and have no reason to dump money into it because they have no sponsors and do not have to have the integrity to report actual news instead of opinion. they do not need to fact check so they don't.

    i am an elitist and have no tolerance for stupid people or stupid ideas. if you would defend your positions on other topics such as the war, health care, or politics in general with the same vigor that you protect and shelter beck and fox news and trash the "mainstream media" i would have respect for you. but you are content to blame everyone who is opposite of you and everyone in mainstream media, as if fox news is not "mainstream". they lead in ratings so it is not some pirate tv station only received when you angle the rabbit ears a certain way between midnight and 4 am. they are on 24 hours a day and have the same access to viewers as any other cable network.

    ummm ok i will diversify because an paid shill tells me i should....ok sheeple... :lol:

    i am guessing you say axelrod is full of lies because he is on obama's side of the spectrum...go figure...i knew you would say that...big deal though, i would not give legitimacy to fox by going on there, and this administration should do no such thing. yeah, but when has oreilly ever gone on maher, olberman, or the daily show? coward...

    so you are saying i am misguided when i say that beck DOES NOT HAVE A RED PHONE TO THE WHITE HOUSE?? and you are saying you really believe he has a phone on his desk that any member of obama's administration can watch his show and call him directly while he is on the air to confront beck or tell him he is wrong??? come on dude, stop it you are killing me....you seriously believe that that is the case? would you believe it if i told you i have a blue phone in my bedroom that i can call aquaman every time i am going fishing and ask him to bring me a 20 lb bass? or what if i told you i invented a phone out of a texas instruments speak and spell, some wires and a rotary saw blade so my boy ET can call his ride back home any time he wants....it is the same ridiculous principal, and it is just a PROP.... but simple people tune in to watch because of the off chance that someone might eventually call....how funny is that lol...

    There are many things going on in the world that I would not know about if I was watching news stations that are competing for ratings, not just fox news but all the mainstream news organizations.

    Check out democracynow.org and see what is about. Im not really a leftist or a rightist, I dont prescribe to any political faction, but I have seen and read enough to know what is real and what isn't. like my good friend phartman says over at phartman.com, real recognizes real.


    I have seen democracynow's pod cast on itunes. I will download the app and check it out.
    Thanks.

    Everyday I listen or read Democracy Now I didn't know there was an ap for it on the iPhone. Just added it sweet. I've met and had lunch with Amy Goodman she's very good at what she does for indie news and raising funds for listener supported radio.

    ummm ok i will diversify because an paid shill tells me i should....ok sheeple...

    So If your boy Jon leibowitz or Bill Mahr said you should would you then ?
    Your very ignorant if you think that you shouldn't diversify,and I don't need someone like Glenn beck to tell me that I should either. If you think your going to be able to retire at 65 just on a 401k you are sadly mistaken unless mommy and daddy has got your back, or you have some property,or a roth IRA . Go talk to any financial planner and see what they tell you. Or not and just work as a door greeter at WAL-MART after you are forced into early retirement.
    i am an elitist and have no tolerance for stupid people or stupid ideas.

    Well that just proves my point .just because gimmiesometruth thinks it's stupid it must be. Damn what was I thinking ? Next time I'll just ask you before I make a decision about anything,or if it's a good idea or not. Is that ok with you ? I mean God forbid anyone disagree with you. I wouldn't want you to think Im stupid or anything. :oops: I have no intrest discussing anything with people that act like pompous jerks.

    I have another question for you ? How come you and just about everyone else on the MT that attaks Fox News never mention Greta Van Sustren ? After all she shares a lot of the same opinions as Beck,Hannity,and O'reilly ? Is it because she is a Democrat or is it because she's a woman ?

    no shit sherlock, i do financial advising on the side so i don't need you to explain the benefits of diversification to me. do you think that i don't know that most in the us will not be able to retire at 65? i see it every day with people i sit down with. 401ks are a ripoff, and roth iras are not the best way to go either. with my line of work i will not be forced into an early retirement but i appreciate your concern for my financial future :roll: i just think it is a stupid stupid time to buy gold right now, especially at the behest of a talking head. why buy it when it is high? you should have bought some 1-2 years ago because i doubt you will see the gains to the extent of that we saw a few months ago. what i was pointing out is that people take this advice from beck and fox as a whole, when beck is a paid shill and has a stake in whether or not people do business with goldline. that is what i find so funny about the whole thing. it would be like me taking acai berry for weight loss because chris matthews says i should.

    pompous jerk, thats a good one. i could think of some apt adjectives for you but i would rather not post them here. care to take it to pms?
