Glenn isn't pesonally responsible for these folks. But he is responsible, having a public forum, to realize that his verbal attacks on people and public calls for action could be taken very, very seriously by the crazy. You know, like Bill O'Reilly repeatedly calling a particular physician a baby killer, saying someone should take him out - and dang, if someone didn't do exactly that.

Glenn Beck is a shock jock, who knows how to rile his audience up for ratings. The President is a racist, people should be killed, the world is ending and buy gold, yak, yak, yak. He excels at scaring old white people.

Beck lost all his "real" advertisers with the racist comments. He's free to speak, and America is free to respond.

Did you buy your gold yet, Geeker? Have you purchased your dehydrated meals so your family will not starve during the apocalypse?

If you bought gold back when Beck first suggested you would have quadrupled your money!

And how is trading that gold bar in at the Kroger's for groceries, because we've collapsed as a nation due to the black guy being elected President, going?

The Cash for Gold stores are doing just fine. Largest 'fence' America has ever seen. Keep playing the race card though. It's getting so old and battered everyone knows it's coming before being turned up.

BTW Keep hoping Landslide LMAO!

There isn't a GOP who can beat Obama in 2012. And the way the GOP have started this Congress, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dems get the Congress back, too.

"Race card" - you mean like Glenn Beck repeatedly plays? The President is "a racist with a deep-seated hatred of white people?"

dems are defending 23 senate seats in 2012 while republicans have only 10. some of the democratic seats are in very red states. republicans need 4 seats or 3 if they take the white house. if i was a republican i'd feel pretty good about the chances of taking the senate in 2 years.

it would really take another wave election in the other direction to the one we just saw to prevent it.

you know i'm on your side riot but math is a bitch here.

I know what the math is, and yes, it is a bitch - I figured both H & S would be GOP in 2012.

But watching what these guys are doing so far: they are not starting out strong at all, the Tea Party will do nothing but harm them over the next 2 years, as will caving to the extreme wingnut base (as they are doing daily now, see Pawlenty). They'd better turn it around if they want to win what they "should". Don't forget the Presidential wave will carry some Dems.

The Dems don't have very many blue dogs left, it's become pretty polarized between red and blue. Will be a very interesting election.

Unbelievable that no GOP (well, one has) has declared yet for President. I think they have written it off, and none of the truly viable candidates want to risk the reputation harm of the guaranteed loss.

I think there will be a strong resurgence of the "moderate" Republican, as some guys are simply already drawing the line in the sand and refusing to compromise their intelligence and ethics when facing the more crazy rightest part of the party. Joe Scarborough had a nice editorial in Politico** the other day. But I think this will fracture, not unite, the party. The convention in Tampa will be exciting - sorta like the 1960's.

I'll go on the limb right now saying Jeb Bush-Rubio in 2016.

** Presidential-year elections are driven by a completely different demographic. Good luck trying that “Second Amendment remedies” crap on swing voters in the suburbs. It just won’t fly. And neither will the cacophony of crazy talk that has gripped the far right for the past two years.

orrin hatch in utah and richard lugar in indiana will both face tea party primary challenges and i wouldn't be surprised to see either one lose. utah will never elect a democrat and unless unemployment is a lot better in 2012 (which would be a surprise) i doubt a democrat can win in indiana.

it's too early for anyone to declare for president. obama hasn't made his announcement either. look for all of those in the fall. right now the serious candidates are still raising money and building organizations for the primaries. i wouldn't dismiss the politics of resentment. it's worked for 50 years. why wouldn't it keep working? they'll be plenty of republican candidates.

That's funny! If this Nation collapses the local Krogers is gonna be empty fast, and no ones going to be paying for anything. There is going to be a lot of "taking". My precious metal of choice happens to be lead. If someone comes to take it, I will gladly let them have it. What on earth does Obama's skin color have to do with the price of tea in China? For crying out loud can you leave race out of it for a change? Did the left hate Bush just because he was white?

Nice try. You have to scream more loudly, and stamp your feet at the same time.

Tell me, Hoof - let's talk about politics. What do you think of the opinion expressed in this editorial?

Got it that time. What do you think I think? I believe that the only people who were seriously "wronged" here were the victims and their families. I'm guessing these high profile media types will get over their own hurt feelings eventually. I don't think the knee jerkers in D.C. should be using this tragedy to call into question our First and Second Amendment rights as law abiding citizens. If they can weaken the First Amendment, the rest fall like a house of cards. Congress sounds like a 2nd grade teacher telling everyone to be civil in their discourse when they are the biggest hypocrites around. You do know that a Dem invented the bullseye map, right. It appears old Joe didn't. Both sides are equally guilty.
