Why is Glenn Beck leaving Fox? Fired? Voluntarily?

   Ralph Deedsposted 11 years ago

   Not sure of the details, but apparently Glenn Beck and Fox News are parting ways. Does this mean we'll be hearing less about this lunatic. Or will he move on and become bigger than ever? Maybe he'll make a run at the VP nomination as a running mate to Michelle Bachman???

      Well, since I don't watch him, I have only 3:
      He said that hidden communists messages were built into the buildings of New York City.
      He said Obama is a racist who has a deep-seated hatred of white people.
      He said Van Jones is a communist.
      Oops, one more: he said the only way to stop Pelosi and Obama was to shoot them in the head.
      And my personal opinion is that he and Palin and the likes of them(ugh),contribute to the violent, hate-filled nature of America at this moment in time.

                  I think Obama's comments were funny - I wouldn't go so far as to say he was playing the race card. If he had said, "I don't have enough gray hair for the establishment" - whatever - would he have been accused of "age discrimination?" yeah...lolll likely. Hilliary made references to her gender continually in the campaigns. No one made a big deal over it - was she playing the "gender card?" And Mc Cain, nice guy by the way - almost voted for him until he picked "Stupid" as his running mate, made references 24/7 to his service in Vietnam and having been a POW - what card was he playing, if any? I don't think anyone from either side played too many cards in the 2008 election. The only excpetion was being the "I am not Bush" card - they all played that one.

      Why hasn't he been sued for lying? Because lying isn't against the law with some exceptions--lying to the FBI, lying to a grand jury, slander against non-public officials (lying about public officials is permitted for the most part). Beck is crazy, he rants and raves about all kinds of lunatic conspiracy theories. And he has made insulting an ludicrous charges against President Obama.
