Weepy chalkboard guy warned people about the Muslim Brotherhood from the beginning. He did so by doing what NPR will never do - he read their own words.

So you like him because he's a meta troll? Or just that the people you dont like dont like him? Rather odd cause I dont give a **** who likes or dislikes john Stewart, Adam corolla, or Joe Rogan. I wouldnt expect everyone to nor would I see why others would expect me to like their preferences.



I like him because every now and then, like a broken clock, he is right. One of my favorites was this time that he put two video clips of Obama speaking to different audiences with opposite messages on the same issue. So one of them was a lie for sure. The overall significance of the lie was small, but it was a cold hard lie nonetheless.

Caught a politician pandering? Never have I heard such things! It only happens with every single one at that level. (Hell I think even Ron Paul has gotten caught. Though he admits to it that semi honest bastard.) Guess this is one of those things I'll never understand. Even when people outright spell it so to speak.

You know, VR didn't just get mentioned in Glen Beck. It was in an article on Yahoo.com also. I think the difference between the two is that one Beck uses the news to a political purpose, and Yahoo was just reporting on the incident and the people that died.

So really, leave the politics out of this. Notice I just criticized Glen Beck for politicizing news. I have not mentioned my views of his political bent, or said that he is bent


DOH



Seriously though, this thread should get locked, because some people are trying to use it as advertising for Geln Beck. Which is inducing replys the other way. And this is taking everyone's focus off of the tragedy that caused us all to post.Straight

I wouldn't call that 'grown up media'. Madeleine Morgenstern, doesn't seem capable of stringing two words together without grammatical errors, the editors look like amateurs as well. If you must use 'be, being, been, am, is, isn't, are, aren't, was, wasn't, were, weren't.' & you should ever ever use those words, ever, at least use them in the proper context.

Feel free to browse the site, though I warn you, some strong positions are aired that would have the local ISD soiling their pink panties.



Great that Eve gets free publicity...but in terms of Glenn Beck, that guy is the clown of the earth.

So I'm not actually sure this is a good thing, at least if any of his viewers who take him seriously join the game. They will simply blame all the bad stuff in Eve on:

A) the Jove
B) Muslims
C) Jews
D) George Soros

And the Jove are only in there because just like Muslims, Jews and George Soros that clown of the earth doesn't understand them LolLol


Actually, like most other conservatives, Beck and his followers would not blame the Jews. Beck is extremely pro-Israel.

Darn, you beat me too it. Well said

This **** sickens me. Ugh



Yeah, it's sick that he'd use his considerable EVE-media presence to write a tribute to his murdered friend.

You goon haters are really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days, aren't you?
You're the one that makes me ******* sick, get the **** out.
