Is Glenn Beck finished?

I knew he was batshit crazy but do you think if Fox gets rid of him under pressure, that will affirm all he's been preaching against? The guy is a nut and this is a pretty good article on the situation.

Their ratings are so high on Foxnews compared to the other networks because the people that hate Foxnews are out doing productive things when these guys are on.  Not sitting in a trailer glued to a 60 inch flat screen (connected to a satelite dish that is attached to the only corner of the trialer that is not collapsing)  that is worth more than the trailer they are sitting in, complaining that "the government has too much power and they won't take my gun away".  These are also the people that are swayed to think or believe something by a clown on tv, instead of making up their own minds (this part goes for die hard Maddow and Olbermann viewers as well)

 I am not a fan of Glen Beck, Fox News, or any other cable news network. No cable news networks reports news objectively. It is sad that Michael Jackson's death was getting 24/7 coverage when are elected officials were taking more of our money with Cap and Trade, the largest tax increase in our country's history. The Glen Beck advertiser boycott was organized for the most part by ttp://www.colorofchange.org/, founded by Van Jones, the Obama appointed Green Jobs Czar. Van Jones is a radical communist by his own admission

I am a Glenn Beck fan (not shocking, right?).  He is far from through.  He's just getting started bringing to daylight all the "transparency" that Obama is trying to bury.  If Bush had appointed "czars", you liberals would be the first ones saying, "Bush is trying to turn us communist!", but since it's Obama, it's all right, HUHHHHHHHHH????

 Bush did have czars and i had a problem then, he had a drug czar, war czar, aids czar, hell nixon started with an energy czar, but none of them more than the 30something we have now. This is a big issue with me and it should be everyone else, it's no more than trying to diminish the importance of congress while grabbing power for the executive branch. This is not supposed to be how our government operates, we are not a dictatorship.


 Power grubbing Presidents are not what the country needs right now.

Bush(es) didn't appoint "czars"? Reagan didn't coin the phrase?  When, exactly did the liberals call any of them communists?

What disturbs me is that Helen is the bellweather of American sentiment

 Beck has to be happy with all of the publicity this will bring him. He's not going to be done, he'll be more famous than he ever was because of this. It's the Rush Limbaugh syndrome, attack and watch him grow. Just don't get him wet after dark.

The current administration and its policies are why Glenn Beck is so popular.  People are pissed and are in the process of polarization like we have never seen before.

When you can't argue with what someone says, just attack them personally.

Democratic playbook rule 2, right after rule 1: claim racism.

4 billion for acorn? This is emergency stimulus?  for what??  11 billion for Apollo??  Guess that was for being instrumental in drafting the bill.  Van Jones was in jail and a black panther  and a communist/anarchist?  Nice choice for the green jobs  czar. Too bad Hillary didn't find out about the good reverend in time.  I am sure she would not have atempted to destroy the country.   Thanks for letting me know Glen.  I doubt if Katie Couric reported this. 

Reagan inherited a MUCH WORSE economy (10.6 unemployment, 20% inflation and interest rates) and turned it around very quickly with huge tax cuts.  21 million jobs were created under Reagan and his policies led to the biggest peace time expansion in memory.  Why are we trying the exact opposite?  The only question now is, will the dems commit political suicide to ram these bills thru against the will of the people.
