 Changing Channels on Health CarePosted on Aug 14, 2009
What happened in the few months between the time when Glenn Beck denounced the dismal state of American health care and when he celebrated it as a systemic triumph just a smidge later? And can we replicate this one-man odyssey with a simple tweak of our own remote controls? Comedy Central:

Beck is awful, but to my way of thinking, Limbaugh is much worse and needs to go the way of Don Imus - off to satellite where people have to pay money to hear his tripe.
I wish whatever happened to precipitate the backlash against Beck would also happen to Limbaugh and Hannity.

If any of you can stomach enough of Glenn Beck’s show to provide a list of his current sponsors, I’ll be more than happy to boycott them.

“The hole that they stiched up in Glenn Beck’s ass hasn’t healed enough for him to stop talking out of it. ”—Jon Stewart
Check out the ad with Obama in it—priceless!

Folks
It’s about the place he works. At CNN, there was hope that he would at least report the truth and he probably did ... with the requisite hyperbole thrown in. Then he moved to the Fox where there is no objectivity because Rupert Murdoch worries about only one thing ... money. Among the greediest men on this planet. So Beck, the chameleon, shifted his color to that of his boss and he has become an open shill for the corporate interests. Let us hope that the mass exodus of his advertisers will convince Murdock that Beck’s style of “journalism” is too caustic and dangerous for his bottom line. The surest way of driving this viper off the airwaves.

Six weeks ago someone asked me what I think of this man, and I didn’t know who he was. I NEVER watch Fox, so I never encountered him.
Since then I have formed an opinion. I detest this nutjob as much as Bill O’reilly and Rush Limbaugh.
The walking definition of hypocrit.

Glenn Beck, the Horst Wessel/Joseph Goebbels of American far right propagandists, should he choose to do so, can make a very viable candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. Most importantly, he can get the money to make the run. The so-called Obama administration, the cowardly American version of the Weimar Republic, wouldn’t stand a chance against Beck if money were no object.

hello. the lowest class of peoples taking shots for shock value, is desperation; shrieking a panic of resignation, over their shoulder, in flight: alike the scared criminals they try to prop-up; while they themselves hide behind the rock they crawled out from beneath. the democrats can not even see themselves being manipulated by their own media.

Bastioned incompetent doctors. Permitted greedy lawyers. All greasy predators that disease our system. Flip-flop tabloid journalists are the costly oozing bed sore. Lowlifes in any other line of work.

Assholes never deal with anything more than a few days past. Glenn is just being true to his nature. Maybe Fox should approach Preparation H and Pepto Bismol to replace the defecting advertisers for his show.

It has become apparent that modern science (as good as it is) has been unable to shut Glen Beck’s ass up. Therefore, as Americans, it becomes incumbent upon us, as Americans, to do what sutures cannot.
