Do Liberals have more in common with the Tea Partiers than they would like to admit?

    Beck is neither a truther nor a birther. If you watched you would know that.

    Beck often urges his viewers to do a little due diligence and research his claims. If he is wrong he will admit it. He never is. Your criticisms are based upon hearsay and ignorance. Don't be a parrot. It's unbecoming.

    Beck is not a racist or a liar and I have not seen him fabricate things about Obama. But he is extremely excitable and looks to be on the verge of a breakdown all the time. I think he tends to extrapolate to some wild conclusions(these are opinions guys), but I do believe that Obama is a committed full-on liberal. And by definition that means Obama is a kook in my book. All I have to do is look at the current social/economic agenda that is getting rammed down my throat by him and congress. I don't need somebody like Beck or Hannity to tell me what's happening. And the plummeting approval ratings for Obama are not due to "talking heads" either. Liberals just don't want to focus on that reality.

    It's funny that the only time you see him "refudiated" is by bloggers. I don't see any credible evidence that disputes him. But I also have to be honest that I watch him very rarely. His "style" is not my bag. Too preachy for me. A little too Jimmy Swaggart I guess. Obsessing over anyone talking on tv or radio is just kind of funny to me.

    sure, i didnt dispute that being a jerkass is way to make money. i think beck would claim he is more than just a money-grubbing, attention seeking, self-promoter. i cant watch him because it makes me hate humanity when a grown man cries on tv.

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner. This is where the left shows its true colors. Its hilarious, but at the same time very telling, noticing how much time liberal politicians devote to comments about right-wing media. Show me an instance of a conservative politician or pundit calling for someone who disagrees with them to be taken off the air. Anyone? Anyone?

    Sure, because we never, ever hear about conservatives pissing & moaning about the "liberal media". Oh wait; yes we do. Constantly.
    This is pretty irrelevant when you consider how much of their time & energy conservatives spend portraying themselves as victims of the librul mediuh.

    no, that was actually a decent point, the liberals are the ones that favor laws that forcibly equalize the media. and not just wackos, some pretty mainstream liberals. nancy pelosi favors the fairness doctrine, which is not just bad and wrong, it is basically a total freedom destroyer.

    Bitching about someone's comments is fair, but trying to prohibit their speech is, ironically enough, a liberal tactic. The Fairness Doctrine is not supported by conservatives or moderates. Liberals support it because the majority of talk radio is conservative. Why is that? Because the country is center-right, not left.
