Hey idiot: evolution is not right or wrong; it is. And where are all these Eugenicists.
I suspect that’s enough. When it comes to Beck, “enough” generally begins when he opens his mouth. (I particularly like the Cindy Sheehan quote; it shows Beck’s true humanity, which is vacant and nasty. Sheehan was brave in her endeavors; Beck’s a coward for uttering this nastiness behind the sanctuary of a desk and microphone, with no one to respond. I would like to have responded, "If Sheehan’s a slut, you’re a really stupid radio buffoon/pimp."
And isn’t that really true for most conservative commentators? I mean, recently, Beck was carping that the State of Texas should have the right not to “commit suicide” and thus should be allowed to secede from the Union. Other than the fact that Austin’s there, I wouldn’t care too much either way if Texas seceded or not. Let’s just send Mr. Beck off with it — one fewer chatter’s stupidity to deal with.
Come on, Glenn. Ain’t no one gonna leave and you know it, and you like it and need it that way, despite your silly diatribe about secession. The more fools you have listening to you, the more money you make, thus enjoying the American Dream you so devoutly tout.
You’re one instance where the dream has veered into nightmare. And the only thing we can do — must do — is flick that remote, or dial, when your cherubic anger management-inspiring face insinuates itself into my modest little bungalow, which surely does not compare to your mansion, whereever it may be (likely in some no-state tax state).
Ah, the American Dream: where even self-regarding half-wits have large plasma TVs, and plenty of the other trinkets of a successful, if buffoonish life. Don’t forget the multiple marriages, successively trading down in age.
And even if you know you’re a joke, which I suspect you do, a 60-inch plasma is still a 60- inch plasma. And, goddamn, the game is on in ten minutes. “Make me a T&T, sweetheart, while you’re at it.”
Catch you tomorrow: same time, same station.

Does the smugness and hate make you feel better about the emptiness and inadequacy which fill your days with self-loathing and terrifying doubt?

Sorry about that. Please delete the previous comment (my test comment, not Dave's comment).
I just wanted to say that this article didn't show any insight into the different talk show hosts. That would have been much more intersting.

Well, it may be that excepting in respect of their individual personalities, there isn't a hell of a lot of difference to be found between those people. They are all tantamount to snake oil salesmen/women or money grubbing evangelists.
The one name left out of the discussion was everyone's favorite, Ann Coulter, but that I assume is owing to the fact that she doesn't have her own radio/TV show. (At least I don't think she does.)
Dave - all those people - just as with GWB - have over time earned the loathing they receive. Perhaps you look at them as lords of the right, protectors of the great conservative hoard. I (and apparently Stephen) see them all as despicable opportunistic blowhards. I grant you that there are a few such coming out of the left as well, but overall, the right wingers pretty much have the corner on the market.

Am I seeing this correctly, they have done away with the "comment preview?"

Dave - all those people - just as with GWB - have over time earned the loathing they receive.
As have Bill Maher, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and of course, Miss Congeniality, Al Franken.

Clav,
Maher - Yeah, pretty much. Franken - Okay, you can have him too. Olbermann - well, sorta, but I kinda like him despite his pomposity, so I can't really give him up.
Maddow? Nope. She's defnitely a keeper. Tell you what, you can have Chris Matthews AND I'll throw in Michael Moore, but I get to keep Rachel. :-)

I would be very curious to know what has been deposited in the personal bank accounts of theses voices from the extreme right. I believe they are serving a power we do not ever really see in this country. You know, the same fools that rally against any social programs, at all, for the majority of us are ominously silent when money is funneled to the industrial war complex,Wall Street, AIG, and the banks. The most ironic fact here is that if not for the social programs that grew the middle class to begin with; Glen Beck, Shawn Hannity, and yes! even Rush Limbaugh wouldn't have a microphone in front of them. They would have a serving tray!
