Glenn Beck: Commies in the gummint

I'm so proud of Glenn. It's heart warming to know my tradition is being carried on in the it's full, irresponsible, glory!

Fortunately, someone is asking the questions. The only fear is that it's too late. This was the responsibility of the traditional media, but they fell down miserably. And now they ridicule someone for doing the job they should have done in the first place. No, this is not McCarthy. These are real people with real backgrounds that the public, through Senate hearings, were not allowed to evaluate. And not a peep from the traditional media. Joe Stalin never had it so good.

Do ya think Beck will go away if we just ignore him or do you think he'll try and say Jesus was a communist, socialist, Nazi (with artwork of course!) who hates white people and the way white people want to run this country to get more attention by the news media?

Does this sound like a communist to you?

"[W]e are entering an era during which our very survival will demand invention and innovation on a scale never before seen in the history of human civilization. Only the business community has the requisite skills, experience, and capital to meet that need. On that score, neither government nor the nonprofit and voluntary sectors can compete, not even remotely.

So in the end, our success and survival as a species are largely and directly tied to the new eco-entrepreneurs — and the success and survival of their enterprises. Since almost all of the needed eco-technologies are likely to come from the private sector, civic leaders and voters should do all that can be done to help green business leaders succeed. That means, in large part, electing leaders who will pass bills to aid them. We cannot realistically proceed without a strong alliance between the best of the business world — and everyone else."

Why was Glenn Beck spotted at a Tennessee shop buying a Confederate flag on Sunday?

UPS drops ALL Fox advertising, Not Just Glenn Beck!!

Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, said today he has not only temporarily halted buying ads on the Glenn Beck Show but also on the Fox News Channel altogether as reported by AP Television writer David Bauder

Congratulations to everyone for a boycott that has successfully driven 33 companies away from the odious and racist rantings of Glenn Beck! Beck is returning from vacation to even fewer advertisers than when he left!

Ok, let me see if I'm following the "intellectual honesty" of Glenn Beck. He's against an OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT, but he supports a WHITE police officer, a GOVERNMENT AGENT, who arrested a private citizen, a black man on the black man's PRIVATE PROPERTY because the black man called the police officer some bad words?????

So, Crazy Glenn is listening to the black helicpoters in his head again...what's new about that?

I don't know how anyone in their right mind can possibly take anything that comes out of the mouths of what's left of todays Republican party seriously anymore. All that's left of the Repug party are their crazy base teabagger nuts, everyone else has already left.

Fox Ruse calling to the faraway towns♪
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
Beck is calling to the underworld
Come out of the hive, all you boys and girls
Fox Ruse calling, now don't look at us♫
All that phony Rovemania has bitten the dust
Glen Beck calling, see you ain't got no swing
cept for the ring of that AR15 thing

Faux Ruse calling to the imitation zone
Forget about it, Becky, an go it alone
Fox News calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and don't draw another breath
Insanity calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking - you were mobbing US out
Glen Beck crying, see you ain't got no replies
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Fox News calling ♩

(Thanks Joe Strummer RIP)

Beck is no different than Rush. They both make money bamboozling the fools that blindly follow them.

Yawn... So tired of hearing from the flat earth party.... please go mack to the 19th century - where you belong.... we're trying to progress here in the 21st century.

At some point in his past, a little, scared, and now permanently damaged Glen must have been badly hurt by someone.
Tell us about it, Glen, for your own good.

Despite already losing 30 sponsors, Faux's Glenn Beck refuses to give up exposing his racist feelings about Blacks, Mexicans & Arabs.

Mr. Beck, at last have you no shame, have you no sense of decency?

This fat little doughboy is only a hair above Michael Savage, the lowest life form in broadcasting.

His thinly veiled racism should be enough to get him bounced off cable tv they was Savage was.

alternate comment,

"Do we look like sleazy, greasy, slime bags only interested in self promotion and fear mongering for political gain??
Nahhh!!!!"

'....and then we'll do some t-bagging for ya!'

There is a certain symmetry between McCarthy and Beck, but I see an even more apt comparison between Beck and an apocalyptic cult leader:

The Evangelist of the Coming Obama-Pocalypse
http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=1345

Beck sees himself as a lonely visionary beset by unseen foes. How long will it be before he needs to order his suggestible disciples to defend "their" God and country?

Glenny Beck - leader of the dumber than a brick Repug Teabagger goons.

The Beckian Repug Teabaggers, the same idiots who stood up on their hind legs and cheered when Bush - started a war based on lies, sold us out to the Military Industrial Complex (Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater etc), gave tax cuts to the richest 1%, big oil, big corporations and illegally spied on us - are now foaming at the mouth over the possibilty of every American having access to healthcare like every other industrial country has because their Repub/Corporate overlords have all of them believing it would turn us into a Commie/Fascist/Nazi/Socialist granny killing country?

The Wingnut stupid, it hurts!

So, Beck is creaming Chris "tingle up my leg" Mathews. Beck also says he has the highest rating ever. I suggest the left keep up this boycott since it is doing so well. Maybe they could double up.

I wonder what "newscorpse'" has to say now about how much money Fox is losing.

Here is the latest Obama bumper sticker. I gotta get me one:

Glenn Beck hates black people. It's so obvious his coded language is a play on racism. Hey Glenn you really do hate niggers don't you?

Mr. Real, if anyone posting in favor of Mr. Beck had used the "n" word you would have been outraged, but since you're obviously a liberal this very biased paper allowed you to not only use that word but they posted it!

Glenn is hitting them where it hurts and they have become vicious in their attacks. I thank God for such men as Glenn and Rush who stand up to the phonies and those who would destroy the very fabric of our country. I love reading the hate-filled posts because it shows the kind of people we are up against. They have no truth in them and hate to hear the truth because it may make them change. I thought "change" was good. Come on change for gosh sakes. You are all still in your ignorant, sad little liberal worlds. Do some research on your own or are you afraid of what you might find?

Hanniford, didn't you know real journalism died during the last election. I don't think there are many in the government media who know how to do true research anymore, unless it is about Sarah Palin where they sent 100 "journalists" to Alaska to dig up dirt on her. Now they have some real dirt they could disclose and they are all mute.

Go Glenn! You are pushing all the right buttons. The Liberals are starting to weewee themselves. LMAO

It's easy to shrug this off or make fun of it, but it's getting scary because lots of folks listen to Beck and his cohorts and beleive every word they say. This could leads to very dangerous things...

http://www.political-buzz.com/

Beck as in Wreck.

He uses pejoratives in lieu of the n word.

One week he calls Obama a socialist.

Then he turns around and calls him a communist.

Then he calls him a racist.

It's clear what he really means.

Crazy Glenn is just like all the other tough-talking chickenhawks in the GOP who never served in the military or dodged the draft (Romney, Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, Giuliani etc) before their names were called on to serve their country.

His bio goes something like this: "fat drunk failure, then Mormonism, then CNN, then Faux."

The guy is just itching to have a mental illness named after him before he dies.

You know what, Mark, Glenn Beck is doing the job and your corrupt brethren SHOULD be doing. This administration has something like 30 of these czars, folks who needed no Senate confirmation, folks who the people know nothing about, yet these czars may have more power than even Cabinet members.
What are the responsibilities of these czars? Who are they? How large is their staff? What does it cost the taxpayers? How much power do they have?
The fact that you, Mark Silva, seem to have such a problem with Glenn Beck or anyone asking these legit questions, speaks volumes about you and not Beck.
I'd be willing to bet, Mark, that if more people knew about these czars, their costs and what they are doing the more the folks would be up in arms. But hiding this sadministration from the American people apparently is part of your job description, huh?

Sarah Palin where they sent 100 "journalists" to Alaska to dig up dirt on her. Now they have some real dirt they could disclose and they are all mute.

Gee Katey,
If Moose Huntress Sarah hadn't been a typical corrupt hypocritical Repug pol they wouldn't have been able to "dig up" anything on her, now would they?

Try again....

John D is finally asking the questions he should have,,,, about the Bush regime.

OK J.D., I'll bite.
No, the so-called "czars" do not have more power than members of the Cabinet. None of them runs an agency. None of them employs 10s of 1000s of people. None of them has budgets of the magnitude of any of the Cabinet secretaries. And, while none of them have to face Senate confirmation, there is nothing new to that whatsoever. George Bush had more than 20 direct assistants to the president plus others with serious assignments, high level people with a lot of responsibility, and nobody complained that they were working without authority. The "drug czar" was among them. Obama has one too. Can you even think of his name? He has no power, no real control over anything, much the way Bush's drug czar didn't. The truth is, the media share some blame for lazily slapping the term czar on someone anytime he or she is appointed to work on, say, the border, or corporate pay issues, and so there it is, a meaningless title. There have been for decades many people around the president who have a lot of input into what the president does, but certainly no more authority than a secretary of the treasury, for instance, which is Senate-confirmed, or the atty general, or the HHS secy or the Commerce secy or any of the other Cabinet members. This entire czar nonsense is manufactured by people who don't understand how the govevernment works, which starts with a number of talk show hosts who are getting a lot of mileage out of little or no truth. The latest one who Glenn Beck has taken off on, Mr. Jones, take a look at the organizational structure that he fits into on the environmental quality council. He's a minion, no king. Even the chief of that council holds far less power than say, the EPA administrator.. It's bogus, all of it, and a lot of people are lapping it up like robots. As far as "corrupt'" goes -- that's slander. It speaks ill of the slanderer.

The fact that you, Mark Silva, seem to have such a problem with Glenn Beck or anyone asking these legit questions, speaks volumes about you and not Beck.I'd be willing to bet, Mark, that if more people knew about these czars, their costs and what they are doing the more the folks would be up in arms.

Yeah Mark,
Quit talking about Crazy Glenn Beck, why can't you write something about John Edwards instead?!?!

And another thing Mark, 'czar' is a big scary foreign sounding word and it scares people like me and Lil Johnny D. We don't know what it means but Glenn Beck told us it was some commie/socialist/fascist/nazi plot by Obama to let smart people take advantage of us dumb Republicans who can't think for themselves. :)

I wouldn't count Mr. Beck out. People were laughing at Hitler too. And, he showed them all by grabbing power! It only takes a severe economy for the mass to follow. . .

The right thing to do is to be cautious and observant. If Mr. Beck and his army of followers take over America, we would look like Egypt, 1000 B.C. ago.

Hi shows are full of hatred toward other groups. He picks and nicks one bad thing out of ten good things. Nobody is perfect, Ok? We are not in Heaven, yet.

"Fortunately, someone is asking the questions. The only fear is that it's too late. This was the responsibility of the traditional media, but they fell down miserably. And now they ridicule someone for doing the job they should have done in the first place."

Finally a con is questioning the conservative MSM on the run up to the war in Iraq.

Hey Glenn, and John D(evola),
Wasn't the Czar against the commies?
Seems to me the commies shot the Czar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain.

We do so enjoy seeing our favorite hive child, John D, being D-Panted in pubic by the marvelous Mark.

I set my TV on Beck, set it out in my garden, and my tomatoes are huge!

Thanks for the manure, Rupert.

I have to agree with via on this one. Using the n word is over the top here, and I found myself catching at the stomach a bit reading it. "Real"'s post ought to go.

THANK YOU!

This guy is a total idiot, low life hater, that is making a living by hating follow humans, its a shame

Glenn Beck fear mongering as usual.

Funny I hear all these remarks about Beck being a racist or a drunk... But lets say he was a cannibal as well. Even then I would still have to ask, Are those people really in the WH with Obama and is that there true backgrounds?

Because if so, thats F'''d, I would have never voted for him if I had known he would have brought those people with him as his staff.

If MSNBC offered Glenn Beck insane money he's switch in a heartbeat

He has no beliefs
Except in money

And as someone above said - how sad for the poor people who follow this drivel when all Beck (and Rush) do is drive to the bank

"If Mr. Beck and his army of followers take over America, we would look like Egypt, 1000 B.C. ago."

wow, that's a wild conspiracy if i ever heard one.

Try listening to Beck rather than getting your news from Keith Olbermann or Rachal Maddow.....it's possible you might learn something.

Well, Mark, I don't believe the Obama czar issue is as benign as you report. While this is from the "biased" Fox News, it does at least quote DEMOCRATS and Republicans (including the mild mannered and definitely moderate Maine Senator, Susan Collins):

Republicans and some Democrats are complaining that there are too many so-called czars in the Obama administration, and now the Senate Health committee even is proposing a health care czar to oversee the overhaul of the system.

By some accounts, Obama has nearly three dozen czars in his administration, managing everything from closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility to ending the genocide in Darfur.

"The accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances," Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W. Va., wrote in a letter to Obama.

Rep. Jack Kington, R-Ga., promised legislation to address what he's call a "parallel government" that he says diminishes the Senate advice and consent role.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, says she doesn't see a constitutional issue but she expressed concern that the president may be breaking his promise of transparency.

"By creating these czars that are insulated from accountability, whose work is not transparent, he's moving in exactly the opposite direction," she said.

Since some of the positions don't require confirmation hearings, Collins said, Congress loses some of its oversight ability. But a third of the czar positions do require Senate confirmation.

And Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution says few of the remaining czars would ignore a congressional invitation to testify.

"I don't see this in the slightest as a constitutional issue but as I do see it as a continuation as wonderful tensions that are built into the Constitution between the executive and the legislature," he said.

Hess described the opposition to the czars as political concerns of Republicans worried that a powerful president with a congressional majority will further erode their minority status.

But Collins argues there are also issues of accountability.

"Who's in charge of health care?" she asked. "Is it the secretary of Health and Human Services? Or is the White House czar? Who is in charge of environmental and energy issues?

This is from Politico.com:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/25129.html

And here is a key paragraph: The president’s czars often wield powers greater than those of Cabinet secretaries yet, quite unlike Cabinet secretaries and other high-ranking executive officers, the czars are not subject to Senate confirmation.

From the National Journal in this article, which was dated in March, comes this and even quotes a Yale law professor and poltical science expert:
Obama's 'Czars': An Executive Power-Grab?
By AMY HARDER

Do President Obama's White House "czars" have too much power? Should they face Senate confirmation? These concerns have been raised by a growing number of observers as the president's team of czars continues to expand.

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., sent a letter to Obama on Feb. 23, cautioning that "the rapid and easy accumulation of power by the White House staff can threaten the constitutional system of checks and balances." He urged the president to limit the power of these high-level White House officials who are not cleared by Congress.

In the Washington Post this week, Yale law and political science professor Bruce Ackerman went a step further, arguing that czars should in fact undergo Senate confirmation. Ackerman noted that if Tom Daschle had been appointed only to the health czar post and not as Health and Human Services secretary, his tax problems might never have surfaced and he would be well on his way to leading the charge for health care reform. Furthermore, Ackerman wrote, while HHS Secretary-designate Kathleen Sebelius goes through Senate confirmation, her White House counterpart, Nancy-Ann DeParle, will "escape scrutiny" despite the fact that "DeParle will also play a commanding role in health care reform, and her record is less well known than that of Sebelius."

In an interview with Lost In Transition, Ackerman reiterated his concerns. "The idea of appointing a large number of czars -- loyalists to the president -- is like a king's courtship," he said. "They're highly intelligent, and they're 100 percent loyal to the president, and [he] never has to justify their selection to anybody else."

Ackerman emphasized that no particular Obama appointment compelled him to write the piece. But he said that this president's increased use of czars, coupled with former Vice President Dick Cheney's powerful "policy czar" role in the Bush administration, indicate a disturbing trend in the executive branch. "The creation of this hyper-politicized staff in the White House is both an example and a caution about the uses and abuses of the president's power," Ackerman said.

On the other hand, Ackerman also acknowledged that the Senate confirmation process itself is "self-indulgent" and convoluted. "The Senate has to get much more serious and professional about this," he said. "It's horrible to have a government for six months that simply has most high-policy positions vacant. It's just unacceptable." Next week, the Woodrow Wilson Center will be hosting a panel discussion on possible reform of the confirmation process. Check back with Lost In Transition next week for more on this subject.

Wow, Mark, here are comments from Democrats, Republicans and Yale law professors, none of whom has the name Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. All are sounding alarms.
Yes, past administrations have had "czars," with Drug Czars the most well-known. But this administration has oodles of czars and it seems some, perhaps not all, but some of these czars do in fact weild some power, perhaps even unchecked power.

Now, on that corrupt media thing, when you have a largely mainstream media in this country covering for and actively cheering on a presidential administration, that is a problem. When you have a mainstream media in this country attacking the average citizen who dares voice their opinion at townhall meeting or on the streets at a "TEAbag rally," and constantly get called "teabaggers," which in its true form is a sexual term and deliberately used by those in the mainstream media, that is a problem.
Mark, FOX News' ratings are going up. They have more viewers than MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, Headline News COMBINED! The Chicago Tribune is losing readers. Perhaps you should examine why!
Oh and as an added FYI, while I generally agree with Glenn Beck and on occasion find him entertaining, I also think there are times he goes too far over the top and becomes too theatrical. On this czar thing, he is not the only person to sound alarm bells. Folks from across the spectrum are sounding alarm bells.

I like Glenn Beck. I dislike BO, and BS. And Evil!

To John D
You make your case by providing facts upon which you base your opinions. The rest of the thread are Kool Aid drinkers - and need to quickly do something.
First: Read the Bill.
Second: Read the Bill.
Third: Read the letter from the members of the Dem. Progressive Caucus to learn that they are 100% IN FAVOR of single payer. So are the members of the Black Progressive Caucus. So is the American Socialist Party members. Members of more than one of these organizations include Pelosi, Frank, Waters, Waxman and Shadowsky - who have said they favor single payer. How can you ignore what you are being told by those who are supposed to serve and protect the Constitution yet have also pledged to destroy our Republic in favor of socialism /(progressiveness) We are being told what will happen. Then, look at what is happening in Canada and the UK - and other countries. There are 6,000 Canadians in one province who have been told that their surgery has been canceled due to being 220 million in the whole. We won't call it rationing - just government being as incompetent as usual. It is the definition of "health care" which is important. In some countries it means one band aid per person. Thanks, but no thanks. Let's get the 20 million who need help what they need, enact strong tort reform, simplify medical codes (get 10 data entry personnel from medical offices and insurance offices and let the work on it for a month. The result will be astounding since they are the ones who deal with the issue), and stronger enforcement of fraud, and no coverage to those who are here illegally. I've a friend who had a stroke in Canada and could not find help - even though he was a native Canadian Indian - he had an American green card.
We can do reform without creating the monstrosity found in the bill.

Read the bill yourself and don't let pundits tell you what to believe. That's what Obama should be doing during his vacation.

Give'em hell John, there is a whole lot of folks (especially the majority of independents who voted anti-Bush/GOP to give Obama the WH) who are now asking questions that Mark and the MSM should have been asking before this lefty was the Dems. pick. He and the slobbering media snowed so many folks into voting him in and now reality and the actual results of his governing is exposing his hollow, disingenuous rhetoric and the folks are realizing this was not the "change" they expected. As Obama and the Dems. become more desperate to "cram" their liberal socialist agenda on America and the folks rise up and resist, we will see the massive "demonizing" of all of us because the liberal,lefty policies of socialism are the ashes of failures that litter history (see that nirvana, Venezuela or Cuba for current idealism) The elitists know this so all they can respond with is personal attacks and the ignorant masses only regurgitate spoon-feed talking points of their fantasy. I find Beck's questions a real burr under the lefties arse and Mark's remarks that the 'czars" are rather insignificant a poor dodge of reality (if Bush had appointed dozens of these advisors you would have been in a tizzy) and dismissive.

While McCarthy's methods were definitely questionable, there's one thing we've learned in the last 50 years -- he was right. The FDR administration in particular was lousy with communist agents, even as high as cabinet level.

As for Obama, like it or not this guy is a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist. Everything he says and every policy position he espouses just screams socialism and statism. He supports a single-payer health care regime. That's socialism. He has led the federal takeover of banks and auto manufacturers. That's socialism. The Left will, of course, deny the charge, but that doesn't change the facts.

John D,

After the Bush adminstration which worked "on the Dark side" (a description Cheney himself coined), why your sudden concern for "unchecked power?"

Seems your stones have shattered your house yet again. Don't cut yourself on all the broken glass.

We should change the name of fox news to the republican party news channel. The republican party news channel only reports the republican party side of anything. I have had many conversations with republican news watchers they are the most uniformed people I have ever met. Even though president Busch stated at least twice that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 they still believe Iraq did and have no idea what Busch said. Most still believe that wmds. were found, death panels, birthers, racist, take my guns, To name just a few, I am willing to bet that most of us out there can come up with a list give it a try. The repub news watchers remind me of the East Germans I met after the wall came down. The East Germans were most angry about being lied to for their whole lives their history books had to be completely changed IE. the wall was built to protect them from us not keep them in. These people woke up to a new world they were learning new things every day. When will our repub news followers wake up or do they not want to know the truth. The rebub news is still the only news channel out there that went to court and fought for the right to lie and still call themselves a news organisation. That alone should tell people with common sense not to watch repub news.

Glenn is hitting them where it hurts and they have become vicious in their attacks. I thank God for such men as Glenn and Rush who stand up to the phonies and those who would destroy the very fabric of our country. I love reading the hate-filled posts because it shows the kind of people we are up against. They have no truth in them and hate to hear the truth because it may make them change. I thought "change" was good. Come on change for gosh sakes. You are all still in your ignorant, sad little liberal worlds. Do some research on your own or are you afraid of what you might find?

Posted by: Kate | August 25, 2009 7:28 PM

Unfortunately, if you substitute "Olbermann" or "Maddow" (or any other liberal-biased pundit) for "Glenn" and/or "Rush," and the word "conservative" or "Republican" for "liberal," the statement is equally valid. Yet somehow that gets ignored.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

."The FDR administration in particular was lousy with communist agents, even as high as cabinet level."

Really? What Cabinet member in FDR's administration was a communist spy?

"He has led the federal takeover of banks and auto manufacturers. That's socialism. "

No, That was the great Marxist George W. Bush. Bush took those actions. Bush demanded those actions. Bush intervened with the car companies all on his own, without congressional approval. Bush is your died in the wool marxist. You of course will ignore the facts just like Senator McCarthy.

jbob, that is not much of a "debunking". All it consists of is a bunch of black screens saying "ain't so". At the end we find out it was done by that paragon of honesty and neutrality, Media Matters.

So, you can't be at all serious if you call that a "debunking".

BREAKING NEWS: Is Glenn Beck Working For The Obama Administration? - http://sandboxreport.com/?p=331

" Progressive Caucus to learn that they are 100% IN FAVOR of single payer."

Linda,
Right, they are. I am. Progressive/liberals are in favor of it. It's not a secret.

Single payer is the actual solution to the problem.

There is lots of criticism of BHO and the Baucus Caucus coming from the left. I have been complaining here on the Swamp, repeatedly about BHO's and the Dems handling of the whole healthcare reform effort.

One of the problems with the effort;
BHO seems to think he can compromise with the Republicans.
You can't compromise with people that want to destroy you. Further, they won't vote for the final bill in any case. The Dems and BHO are compromising for no reason.

Further, why are Big Pharma and the medical insurance syndicate even at the table? They are the problem. They are what need fixed.

Can you imagine the stench of Wild Root, Brillecream, unflossed tobacco breath and AquaVelva?
The horror,,,,the horror....

From the big brain of John D, the most loved and respected journalist in electrical contracting products:

".....oodles of czars..."

I'm going to have to squeeze it tight all day over that one.

Why is the Trib printing this FOX garbage? Are all GOP Neo-cons this stupid, or just Cheney's nation-saving pals?

Hey, The guy who hides behind false names (so sayeth Don), you understand that Senator McCarthy didn't become a Senator until 1947, he didn't start his witch hunt until 1950, and continued it long into the Eisenhower Administration, don't you? So your justification of his acts by reference to the FDR Administration, is completely false, even if your unsupported claims about that Administration were true.

Mel, you aren't being honest there. While the original bailouts of the banks and GM took place under Bush, Bush also said they were to be TEMPORARY. Bush was not for nor did he advocate a government takeover of the banks or auto companies. Bush gave GM and Chrysler money, but did not take them over. That occurred under Obama, who now has a "car czar," with no auto experience by the way, overseeing those companies.
Bush did authorize the bailout of the banks, but again he did not take them over. Again, that occurred under Obama.
And Kenny, I am always concerned about unchecked power, whether Republican or Democrat. Funny, though, most cases of unchecked Democratic power seem to be more harmful and dangerous. Illinois, Chicago and Crook County are prime examples.

John D, Obama has never said they bailouts aren't temporary. In fact it is the Obama Administration that has allowed the banks to repay TARP funds.. The Bush Administration not only wouldn't allow that, but hey forced banks to take funds against their will, and then wouldn't let them pay it back. Obama hasn't taken over the banks. In fact, the federal goverment is less inbvolved in the banks now than it was when Obama took office.

It was Bush that set the conditions of the GM and Chrysler bailouts. It was Bush that gave the money on the condition that the Automakers produce restructing plans that met with the approval of the US Federal Government. It was Bush that made the US Treasury major debt holders of those two companies, leading to the ownership interest that the Treasury was left with after bankruptcy. Further more, the Obama Administration has made it clear that they want to get rid of that ownership interest as soon as it is finacially viable for the companies. The auto task force, the "Car Czar" in your czar obsessed mind, is being phased out and in fact does not control either Chrysler or GM.

Why is this idiot allowed to have a platform to spew his vile hatred? Only Fox Nuts, the home of other crackpots like Bill-O, Hannity, etc. would allow this nutjob to continue preaching to the fringe. Groups like the KKK, American Nazis etc.

The real Bubba;

Any Darth sightings?

And Kenny, I am always concerned about unchecked power, whether Republican or Democrat. Funny, though, most cases of unchecked Democratic power seem to be more harmful and dangerous. Illinois, Chicago and Crook County are prime examples.

Funny, I don't recall your protesting the Bush/Cheney abuses of power. I guess your "concern" is as biased as your BS.

"Funny, I don't recall your protesting the Bush/Cheney abuses of power."...

Funny how the TARDS endlessly WHINE about these alledged abuses but can't name one...

Isn't this libelous?

GO GLENN! GO!

You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

"Funny how the TARDS endlessly WHINE about these alledged abuses but can't name one..."

Well, one would be getting 5k Americans killed in Iraq based on lies.

Juandos,

You might want to share with the miniscule group of remaining Bush supporters (heck, even Cheney doesn't support him anymore) that the initial articles of Constitution was written on parchment, not Charmin.

The suspension of rights of privacy, the suspension of rights to due process, more declarations of executive privilege than any other administration -- and that's for starters.

And for all the deceit and deaths at his hands, he never attended a single military funeral.

Give my regards to SMU.

I'm a little out of the loop (by choice) but it kinda struck me as odd when I noticed we'd taken the attention we had on Osama and put it all on Obama. Is that at all what we have done or are there still eyes on the terrorist at bay? Or do we know at all?

"Funny how the TARDS endlessly WHINE about these alledged abuses but can't name one..."

Let's see, here's a few more

Warrantless wiretaps of american citizens.

Torture.

Imprisoning an american citizen without charges, access to an attorney or due process of law.

"wow, that's a wild conspiracy if i ever heard one.

Try listening to Beck rather than getting your news from Keith Olbermann or Rachal Maddow.....it's possible you might learn something"

Why would I want to listen to Mr. Beck? He is an entertainer not an educator. Entertainers entertain their audiences. In his case, he entertains his audiences with hateful rhetorics. I prefer watching Family Guy. It's more entertaining than Mr. Beck. But, that is just my opinion on what is deemed, "entertainment."

Learn something? I can only learn something if there are facts. If there are no facts involve, then I am perfectly capable of thinking for myself.

Beck speaks his mind. You got a problem with that?

Yes. He's OUT of his mind.

GLENN BECK IS A SELF-DESCRIBED RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC AND DRUG ADDICT,
HIS PRIOR EXPERIENCE WAS BEING A DJ AND HAS NO FORMAL EDUCATION.
HIS NON-HEALTHCARE, NON-ECONOMIC, NON-ANYTHING MUCH EXPERTISE IS NOW ADVISING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ON POLICIES ? HE'S CALLING PEOPLE COMMUNISTS STARTING ANOTHER MCCARTHY ERA. LOOK --HE'S AS DANGEROUS AS IT GETS. .
UH HUH !! .

Van Jones is a communist.

His political ideology and his actions are indefensible.

Beck is right. You are wrong.

Jones has resigned.

You might as well give up.

The real story here is why the mainstream media made no mention of the story until Jones resigned. This was an important story that was ignored by the broadcast networks and all the major papers. Why?

Joe McCarthy would have been proud! Glenn is right my fellow 'real Americans' we have to 'stand up' against Washington's 'communist agenda', even after we spent 40 years fighting it and going to war against it! Yes the fact that Warren Buffet, arguably the most avowed capitalist is now supporting communism shows the influence of the state media, i cry for america! Now FOX news is next on the communists agenda then the internment camps where the presidents national stormtroopers will lock up conservative dissenters. The president spending trillions to save credit in the market system thats just a ploy, the red shirts are everywhere such as ...ah ah don't know! my fellow left wing radicals go out and find information for me! Ahh reparations. Ah the president hates white people ahh COMMUNISM! God Save America.... from our own paranoid, irrational, hating, delusional, braindead, idiotic theories! I hope Ronald Reagan is proud of the dimwits he helped create. HR 666 the Warning Labels On Bibles Act. Communism aint coming to America retards so go have your tea party and keep telling yourself that America is under threat. All heil comrade Obama
