Thread: Glenn Beck's fox show to be "axed"

I do wonder what that hate monger will do next, and it scares me. He's more dangerous than any terrorist with his rhetoric for he stirs the pot of intolerance.

I didn't mean to imply that you (White) specifically were "left wing". Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but labeling you was not my intention.

Otherwise....I pretty much agree. But there are nut-cases on both sides. I really don't find the extreme right any scarier than the extreme left. They are cut from the same cloth.

Yeah, the left has the nutso chick from Houston among others...poor Alundil.

A sucker is born every minute...



What's with the dick-measuring contest? Who cares how many viewers he has? Does that make him more correct orany less of a nutjob? It seems to me, that since his on the right, albeit the extreme side, you feel an innate need to defend him and somehow work in a jab at the left.

LOL.
Show me where I defended him......was it the part I said he was a whack job? I certainly don't listen to him, and I certainly would never defend him.
Be careful when you start pointing at people, Fov. There are always three fingers pointing back at yourself. In fact, this sounds more like you are describing yourself ,only reversed:
"you feel an innate need to defend him and somehow work in a jab at the left."

Also like Sharpton, he hasn't been relevant for some time. I haven't heard his name mentioned since he threw that convention a while back. One difference is that Sharpton never thought to capitalize on fear and stupidity like Glenn did with the Gold companies.

+1

And ffs.....calm down Fov. This is exactly the reason I told you to be careful when pointing fingers. You can't even take a simple observation as just that....an observation, without twisting it in your melon as some sort of support or defense. I simply stated that he has a shit-ton of listeners....followers....customers....whatever, and that I bet the left side of the extremists would fall over themselves to have something or someone comparable....but they don't.

Maybe "defend" wasn't the right word, but that doesn't explain the need to bring up ratings and "influence" as if it has a bearing on anything he says or does. And I have not said anything about the right at all in this thread.

ratings has everything to do with a show being ended.
