The mainstream liberal media can't handle anyone who isn't politically correct.
Yes, Beck gave his opinion and that is his right. People are treating Obama like he's God, he's not.
How on earth can Obama attend a church for 20 years with a racist for a pastor and either not know or disagree? That is not an insignificant issue.
I attended a church for the same amount of time, only it was a multi-racial church and I knew for sure what the pastor's viewpoint was.
On a major issue such as racism, why would anyone want to attend a church where hatred for white people was preached if the congregant didn't agree?
Howabout when Kanye West said George Bush hates black people? Ya know there wasn't such an outcry. That rather says it all.

  Regarding Rev Wright, BHO followed his traditional pattern; he supported him, then distanced himself from him, then threw him under the bus. Standard campaign rhetoric, but this time the major media outlets let him get skate on it.

  Obama distanced himself only when it became a political contention.

  Beck is great! How could someone not like him? As far as racism, I think many people have shared his thoughts. If anyone is to blame, it is Obama for having attended church with an anti-American preacher who produces hateful speech; socializes with terrorists and communists; makes outlandish comments about white police officers; and appoints out of the closet communists as czars.

  The problem with all of them, including Beck, is that they base their presentations less on facts than on emotion. They manipulate the public with fear and misinformation rather than rationally looking at an issue and deciding on its merits. But that's why their on TV. They crave attention and rational debate doesn't give that. Showmanship, anger, comedy, that's what the public wants, that's what all these pundits give.
  
  It wouldn't be a problem if American's would take the time to research things themselves and make their voices heard. But we don't we listen to whoever is best able to manipulate us and echos our closest held beliefs.

I like Beck, although he's hard to watch sometimes (overly histrionic) and I don't really watch him all that much - once or twice a month is enough. Except when there is a particularly interesting event in the news.

He's point, I would say, in a growing awareness of how we're being sold out as a country.

That's what I like about him.

  I agree completely. I wrote a hub on oppression and how to get the masses to scream to for it.
  I believe systematically we have been headed straight towards a dictatorship of sorts as one by one our rights are taken and our governement grows bigger than the "We the people's voice".
  
  I think more people these days have read and are reading our constitution which is rather a good thing. However to apply and stand up for it, to "fight" all enemies foreign and domestic for it is a whole other story.
  
  I get somewhat frustrated and it really does sadden me that the American people (the majority anyway), seem to just be sitting by the wayside watching it all happen.
  
  I see it this way:
  You have those who support the policies IMPOSED by our government.
  Those who are afraid of our government which is really tyranny.
  Those who are unconcerned either way.
  Those who want to take a stand but do not know how.
  And there there are those who have a voice, use it, but it falls on deaf ears.
  
  So where do we go from here? I don't know. It's getting harder and harder to say.
  Obviously this is true (harder to say), when someone in the media has been baraded for freely expressing himself/herself, (like in the case of Beck), it can only mean that the masses meaning the majority, have also spoken and they said "We just flat out, do not care!"
  
  Sad. Very sad. In conclusion, I will add that my dad fought for this country. He served 20 years of his life in the army. He served 2 tours of duty in Korea and 2 in vietnam. He bravely stood up for and in the end died for his country.
  My dad passed away in 2003 due to "service related" disabilities. Our family now wonders when we look at at this "once upon a time.." great nation, if his death like others before and now after his, was in vain.

As Robert Seidman of TV by the Numbers reports

Though a little scandal might alienate advertisers, it's pure ratings gold. Last night Glenn Beck had over 3 million viewers at 5pm, second only to O'Reilly for the night. But, Beck had more 25-54 viewers than O'Reilly (888K to 876K). (snip) Even though Beck airs before primetime, when there are fewer people watching TV, he had the most 25-54 viewers in the cable news world for the night.

It is interesting for the lying, rabble rousing bastard Beck is supposed to be, his claims and conclusions are typically backed up with the accused’s own words and or actions whether vocalized on tape, in writing or proven associations and he presents them in more than just sound bite form.

If you don’t find what he presents at a minimum as thought provoking and dismiss the “evidence” as rhetoric then you may have to re-examine your political convictions and associations. I find the silence and “no comment from the White House” very suspect if Beck is indeed so wrong.

  The White House doesn't comment because it isn't in their best interests to comment. Beck isn't a serious player (he's an 'infotainment' purveyor); he isn't anyone they would want to address. This has always been Obama's policy concerning, basically, public and press relations...even through the campaigning. And very befitting a president. This, incidentally, is why the McCain-Palin campaign imploded (it was Palin...who doesn't understand the difference between validity and reality TV).

There are many more Becks out there who will not be silenced. If Beck goes, then someone else will keep the truth rolling. Racism is evil and Obama is in a position to help make changes, but he hasn't.

To promote a person because of skin color is a form of racism. My daughter in law is not white... so, don't go there.... Many, and I repeat, many of my black friends disagree with obama.

  No. And I'm not interested in arbitration. I'm saying I see what Sweetie wrote on his "Liberals are Mentally Ill," hub to be true. The guy is full of anger...it's extreme and he stereotypes and is nasty to anyone of a perceived political affiliation.
  
  However, at the root of that anger, I would imagine, and which is obvious to see, is the need to connect in someway with other people....as you noted.
  
  I'm not interested in giving 'equal time,' or being labeled a hypocrite in understanding we are all human and all sin. I'm already aware of that. However, people who spew hate speech and stereotype are just that. And when it is over the top by reasonable community standards, it is over the top. Telling someone to kill themselves and that they are a pig that should be barbecued, I think, despite political affiliation, we should be able to agree is over the top.
  
  Then there was all the mention of guns and killing liberals.

  Most people in their seventies and older that I meet are pretty agile, but I think hate can make someone become a little paranoid. There are some conservative extremists in communities I grew up around too, which is why I find it so ironic Glenn Beck said what he said about the people that lost their homes in the fires. That was pretty ironic and just plain sad. I mostly am concerned about people who think Obama is Hitler, the birthers, and others that just talk hatred all day. I have even had several follow me to my hubs and tell me they used to think I was one of the rational ones, as if correcting me like they are my parents is going to win me over to their side. Honestly I think they are not rational, and I have learned a few of the extremists have become obsessed with people that write anything in opposition to their viewpoint.

  As for Mighty Mom I do not think the altercation was exactly her fault. It looked like they both had words with each other, but I did not read the whole thing. That is what I got from the situation. I do not blame her for the frustration when it comes to people not really listening to the other side, etc.

  I knew what you meant about how we can only have so much equal time, such as at a funeral. If someone is a true Christian they do not hold bitter grudges against others, no matter the crime. Dead Man Walking is actually a good movie for some people to watch because it is based on the real story of a nun who worked with a murderer. She even was able to show one of the victim's parents that learning to forgive is more healing that holding onto the bitter hate, and this man attended the funeral of the murderer. I am not saying we should forget what Ted Kennedy did, but it does scare me that people cannot forgive the sins of others. We all have ancestors who have probably done horrible things of this nature, thus the hypocrisy in judging Ted Kennedy and his family.
  
  To be honest I was glad to see Might Mom stood her ground, and that was a good thing! I would like to say more actually about some of the comments on here, but it is really not even worth my time. One thing I find frustrating is that even some of the more moderate conservatives are trying to persuade a few of us more liberals posters to see things their way, and deem to make us feel we are not giving equal time if we do not. The irony is even the moderate conservatives are adamantly against certain things some of us liberals are in favor of, such as health care, and why should anyone have to compromise their viewpoints to make others happy? That has been a feeling I get from even some of the more conducive discussions because we all know many people are not budging on key positions.

  Well! This isn't exactly... sigh. There are some very bright people here, lol. Unfortunately, very few conservatives...lol, anymore.
  
  There are debates where people actually learn from the arguments, and even though they don't agree, take some measure of the other person's position as enhancing their own knowledge. I've witnessed them...been involved in some. Some are even fun (these aren't so much).
  
  And I think right now, the health care debate has polarized everything. It did in the Clinton era; it is doing that now. So many interests involved...it really has less to do with right and left than the appeasement of those interests. Stalemate is where they want us, basically. And that is where we are with this rampant polarization.
  
  And I know what you are saying about wanting to comment but also not wanting to waste your time. Guarantee we will not move or change any minds here. lol But I did really appreciate your posts on the other Beck thread...unfortunately, this kind of writing takes energy, too (sometimes too much).

  I like to be authentic about who I am, and I do tend to be more liberal, I always have, so there will be many times I just do not agree with all that they say. In my experience I do feel others want me to compromise too much at times, but they would not be willing to do that on issues themselves. Also, yes we should not always be polarized, but I also know realistically not everyone is going to agree on everything. Thus, I do pretty much feel the same way I did in my earlier post. These are just the feelings I have when communicating with certain moderate conservatives that really are not willing to compromise on the health care reform. Not all polarization can be avoided realistically. I have learned why they feel the way they do on certain issues, but I have not changed my original support for health care reform if that makes any sense.

  The debate is over in the U.S. as well. Don't mistake the hissy fits of a tiny but loud minority for actual disagreement among the general population. Obama made a mistake on this issue which he won't make again. He wanted to include the right-wing fringe and respect their viewpoints, weird as they are, when it came to bringing the U.S. into the modern world when it comes to healthcare. The legislation will pass, there's nothing the conservatives can do to stop that, the math simply doesn't work for them. They will scream, they will carry guns to try to intimidate rational people, they will threaten revolution, but in the end they will be overwhelmed by numbers and the better ideals of the majority of the American people.

  Ron why do we need a civilian defense force when we already have a military? What good is a civilian defense force that is not armed. How many people will an unarmed civilian defense force stop? One that is supposed to be as well funded and powerful as our military. If they're to get the funding our military does, what exactly are they going to spend 500 billion on except weapons, especially when they are to be as powerful as our military. You can't be a military power without weapons. Why have two military forces?
  
  The only parallel I can find is with the SA and SS in the 1920's. And the Freikorps, of course, but they were absorbed into the SA pretty quickly. Hitler then used the destruction of the SA to bind the military to him, without their support, he never would have been able to launch his war.

  Oh my. We almost had an exchange without a Hitler comparison. I knew it was too good to last.
  
  Obama's speech was pretty specific, and didn't include guns. The conspiracy theory makes for good Oliver Stone material, but it's not worth losing sleep over. And with that...good night all.
  
  Here is the relevant portion of what Obama actually said, with the sentences quoted selectively by Broun and others in bold.
  
  Obama, July 2, Colorado Springs, CO: [As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals, like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their effort connected to a common purpose.
  
  People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem – they are the answer. So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an energy corps, to conduct renewable energy and environmental clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.
  
  We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.
  
  We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. You'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.
  
  This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up.
  
  Does that sound like a force that could kick down your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to a Gulag or concentration camp? You decide.

It has no chance of ever happening so why even waste time with it?

Since we can agree on so few things, that's why I support libertarian views. Each person should be able to decide for themselves what to do, not be given permission by anyone, much less the government.
  
  Another thing not considered is this. The civilian defense force will require that you serve for ten years. Why so long? Heck even our military will only ask for five years after school. Also Americorps amounts to what is free labor. An inadvertent consequence of this plan will be to chase jobs out of the economy. No wage-earner can compete with free.

  The tactics of tyrants and totalitarian regimes are pretty unimaginative. Would you have preferred I used Juan Peron or the military junta which replaced him as an example rather than Germany?
  
  You're making the mistake of combining the Americorps with the proposed civilian defense force. And no, I don't think any proposed civilian defense force will be able to go toe to toe with our military, it's taken decades to get the level of professionalism we have in our military today. I do think that the expansion of Americorps will provide a pool of bodies for whatever use Obama chooses to put them. The fact that he's appointing czars and other people answerable only to him is distressing and disturbing. According to Pat Caddell, a Democrat, there are people in Obama's own party who are questioning his motives and actions.
  
  Besides, if it's not a great idea, why are we wasting scarce resources on it. Shouldn't we be doing more economical things with those funds?

Even as arrogant and out of touch as many of these legislators are they want to keep their jobs and at most will pass something so watered down that it barely resembles what Obama was pushing just weeks ago so he can save face. Obama will then rush to the cameras to say, "See? I did it!" although he will surely know better.

  It doesn't take any of those things to make out what is, TK. And deliberately obfuscating and using doublespeak to make, I guess, what is supposed to be a point (but which SOME may call provocation or trolling, or being disingenuous, I dunno) isn't anything approaching dialogue, either.
  
  Public information is public information. But you are right about people wasting time, absolutely.

  I also saw them accuse you of flagging one of their hubs. Honestly I have no interest in reading any of their hubs at this point, and I can guarantee the community moderator probably flagged it. It does not take a very big clue to figure out we do not write hubs like that about people's names. This is getting very weird.

  hey, PAL, the only difference between you and the school yard bully is that he tended to pick on the guys. you, without your PAL dean here to help, are only able to pick on the women in this community. it is quite amusing to watch, for all of us, as they repeatedly show you to be half the man that you really are. it's a safe bet to say, based on your behavior here, that if you're even lucky enough to have a woman in your life, she's definitely walking around being verbally abused, and probably a whole lot more.
  
  although most of the articles published on this site are considered hubs, the ones you write - filled with hate and anger and racism and bigotry - are in a league by themselves and are most certainly held in the highest esteem.
  
  not only are you a classic representation of everything that is wrong on this site, you're a shining example of why much of the planet feels the way they do about arrogant and loud-mouthed americans, texans in particular.

  Yeah your right Blue Duck, I beat women and my poor wife cowers around me, you were invited to try and change me but you cowered away so If you want to keep talking go ahead You have shown why real Texans vote against your type everytime. As far as Lita she gets what she puts out, don't like it? Talk to her, but don't come back days later thinking your some tough guy, cuz you ain't! BTW I don't care what other people or Countries think of Americans or Texans half of those countries would not exist if it hadn't been for America and Americans!

  Would you follow that group anywhere? I have never seen a more hypocritical bunch in my life, they complain about my hubs and then flag what they don't want to hear, sad part is they don't have the gonads to admit it! I thought Ron was at least a little normal but the words he chooses to use remind me of the others, kinda makes me wonder if they are not all the same person. I have seen that before on other sites!

If that is enlightened I prefer to not be, I don't care what you write about or who you write about but you can't seem to understand differing opinions. Why don't you point out where I have threatened someone, or where on this thread anybody threatened someone. If you expect me to believe that you are enlightened then enlighten me.

  yeah, your profile defines "real texans" to a t. actually, tex, you misinterpreted what i wrote (somehow that doesn't surprise me) about a woman in your life. the fact that you use the word "cowered" does not escape me. what i suggested, in no uncertain terms, is that she's probably walking around, feeling beat up: emotionally, mentally, and physically.
  
  there was a time, so many years ago, when someone such as yourself came along. it was approaching midnite, on a dark country road, where three of the four occupants in the car were quite fed up with a loud-mouthed texan. high school graduation nite, a bit of alcohol, and a healthy dose of ignorance thrown in for good measure. stopping the car, dragging his foul-mouthed ass out of the back seat, he was introduced to the combined assets of my strength and size, even at that age. more than anything, it's the sound i remember most: a fence creaking in the dark of nite. as that barbed-wire fence shook and rattled for 30 yards in either direction with the impact of his body, it was at that moment that i realized there was no need for any further action on my part. the next morning i received a phone call from the high school principal. he thanked me for my behavior the previous nite, stating that his nephew had had that coming for a long time. his only question to me was how i accomplished what i did without resorting to a brawl.
  
  the gist of the story, tex, with a little t, is that i really am so beyond needing to prove my manliness in a fisticuffs fashion, where only a handful of testosterone induced morons get to watch the scene. it's far more entertaining to engage here with someone of your mentality. you are center stage and the whole world's our audience.

  Yeah you are beyond trying to prove how manly you are, right! So whats with the story? Are you trying to get me to admit I beat or verbally berate my wife? Then you are not familiar with Texas women are you? The offer was extended for you and whoever wanted to hunt down people on the internet, RandyGodwin was the only one man enough to take me up on it. So tell your story to your imaginary friends, I am far from impressed!
