Katie Couric, Glenn Beck, all in the family

Is she going to ask Herr Beck why he's dressed like a Nazi on his book cover? Is nthat a message to the Volk?

I believe his next book is titled........How to make an Idiot rich.

Isn't it nice of Beck to write a book explaining how to argue with him and his followers?

"David Brooks: The problem for Republicans is that race-baiters like Limbaugh and Beck own them"
.
http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/david-brooks-problem-republicans-rac

Brooks' percentages are off -- it's more like about 5 percent on the Left and 30 percent on the Right side, and this latter fact is actually what he identifies as the problem; the right has been so overwhelmed by its wingnutty elements that they have largely taken over the GOP at this juncture in time. And there's no prospect of the David Brookses ever getting it back -- in no small part because they refuse to acknowledge the magnitude of what they're up against.

But at least they recognize the problem. That's a start.

The book is titled "Arguing with Idiots."

That's what Beck will do when he sits down with Couric.

I really hope she would ask that.. Then she'd look as much as and idiot as the poster of the "nazi" question. Is that what that looks like? A Nazi? It's certainly not a US uniform. Hmm, Did the Nazis alphabet have backwards "R"'s? One word.. Sarcasm.
P.S. Glenn is a great American.

If you're at a Teabagger "protest" and you're complaining about hating the first black president while surrounded by openly racist signs, how stupid are you to whine that you shouldn't be called a racist?

Lay down with dogs.......

After the Wingnuts exhaust themselves in their opus of ignorance and violence (led by Beck and Limbaugh etc), we'll be rid of them for good.

Actually he is wearing a Soviet Military Officer's uniform, probably to relay the fact that the left of our country has its roots in Soviet communism. If you look at anyone on the left's critizism or arguement against someone, it is always personal, non-fact based, such as Nazi or Idiot. Progressives will never argue the facts because they can't. They are simply wrong on every major issue, but refuse to budge or understand their error. People are starting to realize that the left doesn't understand the consequences of their policies (Example: The housing crisis caused by Barney Frank and Freddie and Fannies move to get non-credit worthy minorities into homes) and instead blame it on Bush. (Keep in mind, I think Bush was a terrible president). The movement for personal liberty and freedom, as cliche as that may sound, has begun to snowball and there is not stopping it until corruption penetrates the soon to be in power Republican party, which hopefully will not grasp them as fast as it has for the Democrats.

Ben's right. It's all the minorities fault. Blame them for the credit crisis, not the rich white bankers. We need to keep the non credit worthy minorities out of homes, and get the non-credit Remember: Blame the Minoirities! worthy whites into homes. It's what real americans do in any crisis! I just don't understand whay the call us racists when we blame the minorities for everything.

Here's a peek into what's left of Glenn Beckkk's mind.

I love it. Let me tell you what I take "personally". I take personally small minded people flaunting words like communisim and the other garbage around after serving this country in Nam. "Personally" if you said it to my face, I'd show you some roots. Talk about the wrong side of the argument, I believe your landslide loss clearly shows what America thought of your argument.

Looks like the paid ACORN trolls are out in force with thier racism in defense of The Holy One.

How pathetic and predicatable after the outrageous lies he spewed in his marathon propaganda session.

Can't wait till we get posters, statues and other "Art" featuring Chebama plastered everywhere like North Korea with his new propaganda push through the NEA.

I'll leave you useful idiots to your endless cries of "Racism!" now with this thought:

"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're NOT PATRIOTIC. We need to STAND UP and say we're Americans, and we have the RIGHT TO DEBATE and DISAGREE with ANY administration."

From Hillary Clinton. Remeber that?

Great to see our tax dollars at work here. Hope Acorn is paying you more than cigarettes. Like they did for votes...

"Glenn Beck: Arguing With Idiots"?

Sounds like Crazy Glenn is arguing with the voices in his head again....

If only we had known sooner that all the problems in our country were caused by the all powerfull ACORN! Look at the power this massive criminal conspiracy has! They are solely at fault for the banking meltdown. The banks and Wall Street were powerless against them! They have controlled every election in history through massive vote fraud. They destroyed New Orleans. The hookers David Vitter used? Supplied by ACORN. ACORN outed Valerie Plame. ACORN has Saddam's WMD's and are going to supply them to Iran. Who was on the grassy knoll? ACORN. Who let the dogs out? ACORN.

Hey Wingnuts! You lost to a black man, deal with it!

I find the irony laughable. Coming from one who probably, once again, threw out the unpatriotic, unamerican, communist labels to those that opposed Bush's (your Holy one) rule.

"Obama's a racist"
"Obama hates white people"
"Obama's a muslim"
"Obama pals around with terrorists"
"Obama's a socialist"
"Obama's a Nazi"
"Obama's creating death panels"

Someone let me know when this "debate" begins. All I see is mindless name calling.

Beck and Limbaugh are really just shock jocks. They don't really care about anything except getting rich. They aren't politicians, they are doing nothing to make anyone's life better besides themselves. They say outrageous stuff to make headlines, sell books and self promote. Neither has done a single thing to better the lives of small town, rural Americans or anyone else. Stop fooling yourself and letting yourself get sucked into their nonsense. It is dangerous to place your loyalties either way - left or right. Think for yourself. Make every candidate earn your vote. And stop handing your hard earned dollar over to shock jocks who live to rile you up.

I couldn't agree with Andy more.

All Glenn Beck, and his not as well known, liberal counter parts do is stir up hate and make real debate on issues impossible.

Fear is so much easier to grab ahold of than Hope. Distrust seems far less risky than trusting.
Anyone on the far right or far left is a zealot and I fear zealots. The truth is ALWAYS in the middle somewhere.

Never a Couric fan...I wonder why she is giving a mouthpiece to this guy who has his own.

Fifty years from now, people will play clips of these Faux news zombies like Beck so they can laugh at them, much the same way we laugh at old films like "reefer madness."

Today's youngsters won't be able to believe their Republican grandparents were so foolish.

Hey bill, I think the landslide decline in support for dems clearly shows what people think of the loons on the left. As for the facist in chief, the uniform is appropriate in light of the SEIU purple shirts, the Black Panther arm of the dem party and those do-gooders at ACORN. First the banks, then the automakers, now the telecoms and soon the health care industry, if you don't think this exhaulted leader is overstepping his authority with the support of his enablers in Congress, you may have been in Nam but you should have been wearing pajamas. By the way, John Kerry has denounced you as a butcher and a baby killer, still working out you anger issues?

Try again "Hans",

When you’re (Republican party) devoid of new ideas, devoid of new leadership, and your only answer to the nation’s pressing problem is to say “NO,” it’s not surprising that moderate, independent voices can no longer identify with you. And all that remains are the fringe elements of a once grand old party that are far outside the American mainstream.

Hams, please post the "landslide" decline in support you have found. Is it Oba,a's numbers you speak of? Please don't confuse a loss of approval as a vote of confidence towards the republicans. For the prudent mind, it would be easy to see that in these trying times people are upset. They are upset that the economy left in ruins by your party hasn't been fixed totally yet. They are upset that actions greater than we have ever seen had to be taken to jump start the credit markets since they were allowed to run free and cause the American homeowners to lose 3.3 trillion in value. Quite frankly, your blame of "minorities" for all your problems seems a little closer to the facist you speak of.

If you think Glenn Beck is a Republican, try actually watching his show. It is very obvious that he doesn't think either party is in it for the best of their constituents. He believes in small government, where the decisions these fools make in Washington have as little effect people as possible, allowing people to make their own mistakes, deal with their own problems and have their own solutions. His worldview is exactly what the founders had in mind, which has made us the envy of the world in just a couple hundred years. Europe hates us because they want to be us.

Europe hates us because they want to be us.

==========================

They could start by abolishing their current health care systems and turn them over to for-profit insurance cartels. Then they would be just like us in having the most expensive, mediocre-performing healthcare system in the free world.

Ernst Rohm redivivus.

He looks like Ernst Rohm.

That's a Nazi style uniform.

Tho soviets liked the style and knocked it off.....

"Actually he is wearing a Soviet Military Officer's uniform, probably to relay the fact that the left of our country has its roots in Soviet communism."

Oh really? That must be why Palin is going over to China for an appearance? To denounce Communism, right? hahaha. . .ur full of it!

It's also interesting to note that Couric and Beck share the same publicist. This interview was all about mutual pr back scratching.

For all of you that are crying racist against those that dont agree with the prez we'll by your own standard you are racist because he said is not race based. so you are disagreeing with him so you are racists.

Maybe Glenn Beck can lend the uniform to Sarah Palin now that she is on the ChiCom payroll.

To the question of what side Glenn Beck leans towards... who knows. I'm pretty sure he leans in whatever direction will incite emotional responses from views and sell books. Right now he is on Fox's payroll. He caters to less educated small town white people who are terrified of anything that is more intelligent or darker skinned than they are... so Beck is exploiting that... had McCain won the election... he may have had to change his tune and deliver a different message to sell books, gain ratings and grab headlines. The people who actually listen to this guy and walk around saying things like "I'm so afraid" or "I do think Obama is a white hating racist"... are really only hurting themselves for listening to a blow hard entertainer who cares only about himself and how large his bank account grows. But hey Tea Baggers, I'm sure he really cares about each and every one of you... and this is where the word "riiiight" come in...

All Conservatives and Right Wingers are racists especially Beck.

President Obama is the greatest American President in history.

My only dispute with the President is he should immediately institute slave reparations on all whites limiting their maximum income to $50,000 per year and liberating their bank accounts of any monies above $25,000 to reimbuse people of color for slavery and Jim Crow laws.

Naturally, 80% of all high paying jobs and college admissions should go to people of color and the rest to White liberals trying to atone for their racism. Also racists in the media should be shut down and reeducated (Talk radio,Fox, Etc.)

Peace be upon you!
