Has anyone listened to any political talk shows dating even back to the 40′s and 50′s?? Have any of you read any of the political cartoons in your news paper? Controversial political propaganda and banter has been around since Benjamin Franklin and the start of our nation….the sarcasm utilized by Glenn Beck can be outrageous at first glance…but most of it IS JEST and if not anything else MAKES AMERICA THINK…OooOooOo…a differing opinion?!!! O.M.G…..*freak out!!* Seriously America….people like Glenn Beck at least get your ire up…get you to think…get you to stand up and say “YES!!!!” or “HELL NO!!!” That’s the beauty of our country…the right for you to hear something and form your own opinion.
If you disagree- then research the bills…research what our President is doing…back up your knowledge by building it up for yourselves rather than hearing it from friends, family, or school. Take charge and form your own opinions. Glenn Beck is entitled to his own opinion….the extreme and crazy things he proposes or does on his program are to get you…America… to think “what if” or “why” or “how come”. Other forms of government such as Communism would shut him down due to his ideas and controversy because they wouldn’t want the people to think: “Wow…that is a little extreme and I don’t think it’s true…but hey…what if that were the case? Why might he say this?” The beauty of America is that we can state our differing opinion…no matter how crazy or out-of-sight others may feel it is….and share it with others…discuss it…debate. Democracy and America promote thinking for yourself…
Get over a differing opinion…listen….think…then form your own opinion and share it with others. But don’t shut someone down that is getting Americans to think despite the fact they are sitting in front of the television all day and buy into anything anyone will tell them about the government…good or bad.

but my opinion they are all crooks only oboma is off his rocker. folks we have to stop this guy. think about this look at all the changes he’s traveled and pushed for in his first six months in office…look how little time he’s been at the office. listen to the stupid speech his wife mad about what oboma is going to make you do. our government is past its time and to tell you the truth the government may pass laws by Americans will stand up and tell the administration to stick it. We have power and if we all come to gather not even all our military’s combined can stop us..so take a hard long look oboma and government administrators because if you folks dont start acting right it may be more then a tea party next time, remember it started with tea parties at one time also][\]

So we are prepared to put media talking heads in a box. Olbermann fits in the same box, right?

And, I aree with Anna and Matt.

There is a saying that states where you put your energy is what will manifest. I think that there is a fine balance between smart, targeted campaigns to expose, discredit, and defund Beck, but also to put the bulk of our energy in the vision we hope to create.

So – let’s progress on past .

A great Salon article that serves as a follow-up to the conversation here about how to discredit someone as factually incorrect and radical-passing-as-news as Mr. Beck. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/09/16/beck_skousen/print.html

joelsk:

Want to upset a Conservative, Tell a Lie.

Want to upset a Leftist, Tell the truth

All that was done to Van Jones was to tell the truth to the public

It’s painfully obvious that no one who writes on this blog has actually watched Glenn Beck. Your comments are a reflection of your politics and not a result of viewing his show.

Very unfair.

Glen Beck cannot say “whatever he wants.” Freedom of Speech is not absolute, no freedom is. I can’t wait until one of these nut-jobs says something they can be nailed for. People must be held accountable and responsible for their actions. Those who are not do not deserve freedom.

These people (like Beck) are purposefully spreading misinformation, lies, and deceit. They are about to go too far and I hope they do. We need such a resulting backlash to shut these idiots up, at least for a brief time.
