Outright lies, for god's sake. I think it's very dangerous, to tell people their democratically-elected government is a direct threat to their lives.

The Dems have been doing this for years. Beck never called anyone to arms. He actually warns against associating with any idiots who want to take up arms against our country. Ballots not Bullets. It's still frikkin America.

Hey, they have every right to be out there doing their thing. They all admit they are entertainers first, rather than news people.

Beck, Rush, O'Reilly - they've changed over the years. They have gotten much more strident. O'Reilly calls the abortion doctor a baby killer and that someone should take care of the problem (repeatedly). Last week Beck calls the current administration an (sic) oligarhy (spelling it wrong, which I found rather hilarious) and wants people to "take action, take your Republic back!".

People like me that used to listen to them - long gone. Beck's advertisers don't want to be associated with a guy who calls the President of the United States, "a racist with a deep-seated hatred of white people." They are increasingly marginalized, and marginalizing.

I agree they are helping cause the political death of the GOP, and I resent it.

You're right,Riot....most of the country is too stupid to understand anything but 2 syllable words for soundbites from Uncle Obama! Just let the msm lull the children to sleep and there won't be a country worth fighting for!
Frankly, I can't believe you could be so naive as to not question the proposed changes foisted on the American public.

Timmi, can you post something about healthcare reform? You know, debate a subject?

Or can you only diss and call names of politicians and posters you don't like, or who don't agree with you?

I don't believe I've ever called names to you, but the slimey politicians are fair game! Healthcare as it is today is a far cry from what it was, but the plans that Dem leadership is proposing are foolish and ludicrous. What happened to the "pay as we go" program that Obama talked about? 10 trill
deficit isn't the way to go. Doctors pay an average of 20K per month for malpractice ins...much of that could be saved with the proper tort reform! I could go on....
