FOX NEWS RIGHT WING? Did you see Glen Beck on CNN?
All the idiots on the right think CNN is liberal. Tonight, on the Glen Beck show (A low rated show) use the fear factor that would have put a smile on the Pentagon, Neo-con, defense industries, and CIA faces. It was pure war propaganda. Now the nazis lost both of the houses in government, they are focusing on keeping the war going. Ah, fear, works well for supersitious American paranoids who sleep with a gun under their pillows. This news media fear mongering has become absurd. As far as little Arab learing hate, one needs only to go to our fly over states and check out Christian home schooling or summer camp for kids under the age of ten. (See the documentary: Jesus camp). While the Islamic fundamentalists teach their kids to hate Israel and the USA, the Christain Jihadists teach their kids about the Gay Agenda, Hollywood Liberals, New agers, secular Humanists, Communist college professors, Satanic rock and roll, Democrats, and the Anti-Christ Pope! They teach their kids so much hate that the children have to keep a list in their pockets. The Muslims, it's just 2 enemies. Right wing Christain teach their little boy how to shoot a gun at the age of 9. The girls are in the kitchen learning how to be house wives for their future husbands. Don't forget, both Islamic and Christain fanatics hate feminism.
Now are you convinced that the media is NOT liberal? What was broadcasted tonight on CNN is different what ABC news is doing or even Fox.
It is time to make a law that makes it illegal to use the public air waves for goverment propaganda. Also the, "Fairness doctrine" must be reinstated!

1. he openly admitted as much right at the start...
He made a long statement about how the show was biased. He wasn't trying to hide anything in that regard. I still hate to see this stuff all packaged and pointed, but Beck made no bones about his intent.

worked in the real world?*



















*Oligarchs excluded, of course

2. Yeah, Beck is a freakin' idiot.
It's all I can do to even look at the screen as I channel surf past CNN when he's on.

He's such a raving spitebag. Reminds me of the pudgy obnoxious Rush-bot in "V for Vendetta".


:puke:

3. A low rated show needs some publicity.....
what better way than to go over the top with this fear mongering and a religious rant. It is from the GOP playbook. The fundies and freepers will eat this shit up.

Everyone else will see it for what it is.

5. Beck's a rushbo in waiting
CNN put him on to compete with Faux News before they realized Faux's viewers and advertisers were abandoning the right wing format.

Ever since this blowhole
started up on "Headline News" I've refused to watch it. Maybe they should rename themselves "We wish we had FoxNews'ratings so we're trying this"...

6. Hey Eye See YOu....
welcome to DU, where have you been? Don't know if you listen to AAR but we have had to listen to this Dill for a couple of days now, touting his important report on the Militant Muslims...what a crock. Love to see the church he goes too, uptight and fearful: never heard of anything like that around our place, but of course I attend the best mainstream demonination, the UNITED CHURCH of CHRIST!!

BTW, here is a link:

If you give a hoot, check it out, it works!

10. I caught a piece of that today . . .
. . . and was really confused for a minute, because I disagreed with everything he was saying, but it was AAR! Then I realized Al was grilling him pretty good. It was an odd show, IMO.

7. Glenn Beck was on Oxycontin Rush's show today
The last guy the drug addict interviewed on his show was none other than George the Lesser,

These fascists take this scaring people stuff very seriously.

13. Beck is Rush's handpicked replacement.
Could the Pigman be getting ready to pass the torch?

I hope not. Rush is a fat egotistical blowhard, but Beck literally scares me since he found Jesus under his couch cushions. He was actually a semi-sane libertarian before he got on the Armageddon kick.

8. Glenn Beck's been having a hissy fit ever since the Dem victory.
You should've seen him the night or two after.

14. My ex bro-in-law fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Said it was worth watching. I did for a couple of minutes when the woman was talking about how the jihadists want to wipe Jewish people from the face of the earth. That part is probably true. I didn't stick around long enough to hear if they also mentioned how BushCo increased the number jihadists who want to do that, and do it to us, exponentially.

This Beck guy is really dangerous.

16. I really hate the Beck promos XM runs on the AAR channel.
I can't change the channel fast enough. He's scum.
