Glen Beck & Michael Savage

[Earth_First]

I cannot believe that people still listen to this garbage! It's CLEARLY scripted right wing radio aimed at scraping the bottom of a hate fueled demographic for ratings. If ANYONE in this country is more responsible for breeding a cultural and political divide in this country, it is solely the responsibility of these two individuals alone. I am sick and tired of hate mongering being marketed as entertainment by Clear Channel and their ilk.

Sorry, rant off.

1. You can't leave out Limbaugh...he's a hatemonger, too. nt

2. People will listen to anything.

People still listen to Roy Masters and he's more dangerous than both of those f***wits combined.

3. Even harder to believe is CNN is giving Beck a show!

Then again, maybe it's not so hard to believe. :puke:

4. I'd demand my money back...

but after all, it's "good business"

:mad:

5. Trash

Well-coiffed in the case of Glenn Beck, but both are slime of the lowest order.

There are a bunch of people in this country who's wiring is just not right, and the signals that scum like Savage and Beck (and Limbaugh, and Hannity....) send out match just right.

6. they only speak to their base. We could learn that ourselves.

Instead WE get outraged by the stuff they're telling themselves. Kind of like getting mad at someone for masturbating.

Normally getting new information and viewpoints increases your knowledge of a topic, especially if you shop in many places and cross reference and question what you know and what you think you know.

Their crowd are one-stop shoppers. They never question anything. And they love to have a real person to hate and blame their own inadequacies and anxieties upon in their little, ugly, powerless lives.

Pity we can't tap into that ourselves without becoming exactly like them.
