    Glenn Beck is a fucking fear monger. Talk about someone having their head up their own ass.

    well since you posted it, can I ask you a question, what is wrong with everyone paying less in taxes?
    Why are rich people seen as these evil bastards all the time by most of the left, including rich lefties?

    edit: looked a lot closer at it for a while, I see beck and rush, but cannot quite make out the guy on the left...any help would be appreciated, I especially love rush's giant belly


    As far as Beck goes, god damn he is an idiot...His radio show about 5 years ago was actually listenable, now it is just screaming. People on here want to talk about sell outs . . . that fucker is a sell out.

    The problem with paying less in taxes is that things cost money. Your tax dollars go towards schools, the war on terror, roads, Medicaid/Medicare, the military, environmental programs... If you cut taxes, you'll have less money going towards programs people need.

    IMO, the bigger problem is the government wasting the money it gets. Both parties are pretty inefficient and seem to love the taste of pork. If that was reigned in, then you might have more money going towards projects the public needs, and you might be able to ease off on the tax hikes. But I'm fairly certain pigs will fly before politicians vow to stop building bridges to nowhere and stop building statues in their own honor...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    I understand that, but because people suck at their jobs is no reason to take more money.

    what about companies that don't pay a single cent in taxes like halliburton?

    I wish I could click on these links but there's no point with my slow dial-up. I started watching Glenn Beck about 2 months ago & I gotta say: I LOVE HIM!!!! I do feel scared for my future after watching his show, but that's because he is able to explain what is happening in our country better than any other show I watch.
    I have my organic, pasture-raised chicken egg farm, I've planted an organic orchard & I'm on the cusp of buying a dairy cow or goat so when our economy completely fails, at least I'll have food.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    oh, yeah....he explains things great :roll: . I was just walking by a TV at work....Beck was on it...he was actually "explaining" O'Bama by sticking pictures on a blackboard. He said, and I quote, O'Bama IS a socialist (no debate) and he (no doubt) is trying change everything that has built our country over the last 200 years...and people sit around, glued to FOX, for these fair and balanced explanations...I never watch this prick but, just now, he was talking to the camera like a parent would talk to a 4 year old. These people are so fucking irresponsible, it makes my blood boil :evil:

    Funny it is. Five years ago Dems had no problem calling Bush a facist, but cry foul when their goldenchild is called out.

    Obama certainly is not my golden child. If the teabaggers had the right complaints about Obama then more people would listen to and maybe respect them. But calling him a socialist and complaining about his ancestry completely belittle any real gripes the group may have.

    So what is a real gripe? I'd say this spending and continuing Iraq and the renewal of the PATRIOT Act are valid concerns.

    too bad you only saw a tiny snippet of that show. He did explain how Obama is a socialist. He also said it doesn't matter because now the argument will become, "he's a socialist, so what?"

    When I first started watching Glenn Beck I thought, Jesus he's theatrical... If only he wasn't so phony-acting maybe people would actually listen to him.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    They've been REAL gripes for us on the left for the last 30 years, since Reagan went batshit crazy and raised military expenditures and reduced the marginal tax rates on rich people and corporations and expanded the surveillance state.

    I'd agree that continuing Iraq and the renewal of the ptriot act are valid concerns. I have yet to hear any teabaggers voice concerns about either. In fact I watched an interview with a couple teabaggers the other day that proclaimed " I'd rather fight our enemies over there than fight them here" when asked about Iraq...........another completely moronic statement.

    Most of them were too busy being Bush cheerleaders, oblivious to everything going on at the time. I remember being called "un-American", "unpatriotic", "disloyal", "TERIST sympathizers" and all that stuff. Donald Rumsfeld imfamous "If you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists" line stuck in my craw for years.

    You're right though, most of them still believe propaganda. It was way too convenient for them to make fun of us deluded DFH's instead of facing the truth.

    Actually, the argument is that Beck doesn't know what a "socialist" is. Plus he conflates Communism, Marxism, Fascism, and Nazism, when any beginning student of political theory will know that they are completely NOT interchangeable with each other.
    When I first started watching Glenn Beck I thought, Jesus he's theatrical... If only he wasn't so phony-acting maybe people would actually listen to him.

    If he wasn't an out and out liar, sensible people might actually listen to him.
