I was just thinking, Glenn Beck, George W Bush both recovering alcoholics who quite obviously drank way too much destroying too many brain cells that leave them mentally incapacitated. Living proof of how dangerous alcohol is, drink enough long enough and you too can become an absolute moron. With no capacity for dealing with reality which was why they drank in the first place.

Still love how Beck refused to define "white culture" for Katie Couric, when asked what he meant when he said Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white culture". Classic squirming!

So, Rupert Murdoch is footing the bills of the Glen Beck show. I wish I could say I'm surprised that he only has a few companies who don't mind advertising in his time slot. It's the price you pay for being that controversial. You would think he would go off the air based on marketability; however, as long as Murdoch is footing his bills, we would have to wait for good old Rupert to file bankruptcy before the show goes off the air. -_-

The latest numbers i've seen show Fox News winning the ratings week in and week out. And, Glenn Beck winning the ratings for his time slot. So if advertisers are pulling away from the Beck program, it isnt because of lack of exposure.
And of course the British wouldnt like the Beck program. He is endlessly downing their health care sysem. - 2 years ago

I'm willing to bet if we aired executions live on air they would get high ratings but we don't, in that same vain if people find Beck to be so patently offensive that even advertisers are running scared maybe we shouldn't be airing his nonsense either. This decision I believe should be left up to Fox, and Murdoch. He owns the network and as such should be able to air whatever he wants within the law.

Well why don't you pull one of those video clips 'out of your arse' so that we can all be privy to this alleged evidence. Fact: Obama is the saviour of America; Fact: Glen Beck is a hate monger who is akin more to a cult leader than an actual 'news commentator'... and there is plenty of video footage to prove the latter point.

There are some people who believe in integrity and they see Beck as a traitor to the United States and that is why many advertisers are leaving his show rating or not. Limbaugh has high ratings too, but his appeal is to dittoheads who can't think for themselves.

Ask FAUX News and it's commentators. I recall during the Bush years it was considered unpatriotic to be critical of the governments actions.
These people have every right to express this grievances with the government and it's actions. The problem arises when people make ill-informed accusations and assert statics and 'truths' loosely based on facts or not at all.

I would say to watch Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow as well, because they back up their opinions with facts as opposed to the crap that Beck makes up on the spot (or maybe he and a few people who work for him plan out the made up facts ahead of time), but for some reason I don't think that either of them would pull much weight for you in this kind of discussion.

Just so I get this strait...
I list mostly media matters, and instead of trying to refute any of the articles I linked from www.mediamatters.org, you pick the one on the top of the list, don't say anything about the list of lies on that link Glenn Beck has told, and you don't even address anything on that website other than a part of the websites domain name which by the way, the partial web domain you posted takes you to a godaddy.com website ad.
And instead of actually looking at the website http://glennbeckreport.com/glenn-beck-lies/ and seeing if there is anything worth debating or if there are any piss poor point on the site that are easily refuted, you just discount the website as a discredited source. Not because the information on it is either solid or faulty because if it was I'm more than sure that you would be pointing it out, but because the web domains main name glennbeckreport.com has some extra text /glenn-beck-lies/ that takes you to a specific part of the website.
You are currently faced with two possible outcomes. You can either go check out those websites looking for factual flaws, and post evidence supporting that those factual flaws are thus therefor continuing the debate and making a valid point; or, you can choose to ignore this or tell me that the sources I posted are false without any evidence to the contrary therefor demonstrating that you really don't know anything about the argument that you are making and rendering any point you might have invalid.
As I am itching for a good debate, I would ask you choose the path that leads to the first outcome.

In essence this is what we are dealing with. Glenn Beck and his rabid fans are completely in the can for this guy. . They believe anything that supports this bs individualistic ideology is the holy word. Glenn Beck is a shill for the rich.

It's actually supposed to be "I hate them all". Once again, a lack of respect for the basic rules of Engrish (sic) backfires on the person who lacks the skills to communicate effectively. Not sure what he's referring to with the "all" descriptor; presumably "the Man" or some such entity.
Speaking of hating malls and other distractions (e.g. Beck and Palin), apparently the Epic Bearded Guy actually hates MALLS; he had a restraining order paced on him at some S.F. mall where he had a bad habit of hanging out and shouting at bypassers (the guy is on psych meds, and has a track record of going out of his way to try and pick fights).
