How does this guy even have a show on TV? Seriously? Holy shit. I'm glad I never turned to MSNBC when this guy was on. Show me ANYONE on FOX News who spews such vitriol.

Well, is Glenn Beck still on Fox?  lol

[Redezra]

I'm not reading that kind of insult. He was altogether far more polite and cutting than that.

 

 

SARAH PALIN: Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children, and borrowing from China. When that note comes due – and this isn’t racist, so try it. Try it anyway. This isn’t racist. But it’s going to be like slavery when that note is due.

BASHIR: …One of the most comprehensive first-person accounts of slavery comes from the personal diary of a man called Thomas Thistlewood, who kept copious notes for 39 years. [...]

In 1756, he records that “A slave named Darby catched eating canes; had him well flogged and pickled, then made Hector, another slave, s-h-i-t in his mouth.” This became known as Darby’s dose, a punishment invented by Thistlewood that spoke only of the slave owner’s savagery and inhumanity. [...]

When Mrs. Palin invoked slavery, she doesn’t just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms that if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, then she would be the outstanding candidate.

 

Indirect. Not like direct accusations you get over at fox.

Given, I'm pretty sure all american news outlets are essentially different heads of the same horrid hydra, so...

Martin Bashir is a scumbag.  But Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and a host of others say equally offensive stuff on a regular basis.  This really isn't a pissing contest the Right should want to get into, because they will come out looking like assholes.

 

MSNBC should fire Bashir for a variety of reasons, not least of which that he's a manipulative, sensationalistic asshole.

He got his own program call GBTV

Whaaaat? Surely this is an isolated instance and not at all indicative of the mainstream media in America as a whole... :v

Ann Coulter doesn't have her own show on FOX. Rush Limbaugh is not on FOX at all.

O'Reilly is on Fox, and he's probably worth removing

[Redezra]

Oh and Hannity. If I'm in charge of any new world order, that guy had better watch his back, because I'll have a nice mounting spot for his head in my living room.

Just not Rivera. Even at his age, he is still so dreamy.

Both are regular fixtures of the right-wing media, and both say ugly, hateful things on a regular basis.  Fox is not the only hatemonger in town.

I like and dislike Glenn Beck at the same time. It's like a paradox.

 

On one hand he's talking out of his ass 24/7. I mean the things he comes up and even worse, how he presents them is just painful to watch. While at the same time GBTV is making him a fortune. He has a nice audience who are willing to pay millions just to have this lunatic play with their fears and keep pushing the red buttons like gay marriage, Obama's birth certificate, Bengashi, healthcare  over and over again. I mean if there's such dumbasses out there willing to pay Glenn a 100 million a year, you can't really blame the guy for just making good business. 

 

The OP is just a lame attempt to make a copy of the same product for the leftist market. I personally prefer Bill Maher for that, but meh. It wasn't even as straight forward as the headline would have suggested. Instead of complaining about lefties calling right wing nutjobs stupid, the right should set out to prove them wrong.

Oh hey, Alex Jones finally came up in the conversation. :v

EDIT: On an unrelated note, Electric Liberty would be an awesome name for a band.

While I disagree vehemently with Glenn Beck's politics and dislike what I know of him personally, nevertheless I have to admire what he has achieved.  Money, power, and fame — I'd trade places with him.  I can play crazy. 

[Redezra]

It's Beck's skill at crafting an image of authority that really impresses me. He may be on the lunatic fringe, but he is the genius behind the madness.

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

Right.  He may be batshit crazy, but he sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

[Thrash]

Welp, he apologized
