He's on Fox now?

Footballguy
yeah, maybe a month now.

He is a huge goofball. I've been listening to him since he had the afternoon slot on my local AM talker. I think he comes at topics from a weird angle and he tries to mix in comedy.
I think his show is better on Fox than it was on Headline News and apparently the ratings are very strong.

Typical out of touch Neo-Con clown.

good fit for Fox.

Really? I think he is very different than say Rush or Hannity. He took Michael Steele to task last week when the new RNC chair came on the show. Sure he's a conservative, but not every conservative is an "out of touch Neo-Con."

I've never listened to the guy. I think Jon Stewart is pretty funny. I've never seen Colbert.....because if I want to see a mock up I'd rather watch the real thing. I'm mainly a Hannity and Rush listener.

He is a huge conservative, but not a lock step republican. He sometimes takes a weird approach to things, and once in a while makes sense, but is, in my opinion, way off the deep end most of the time. That said, I still listen to him if I am out on the road in the mornings, usually for entertainment purposes only.

He's a funny man, but it is obvious why the libs wouldn't like him.
Black&Gold

I've listened to him for years. He's really good entertainment. I went and saw him live last year. He gets into some depressing moods sometimes and I can't listen to him or I feel like jumping off a bridge. He's definately a conservative but not a Republican. He's very smart and tells it how he sees it.

How is he funny? The lame whiny voice, the sound effects, the Hackey,Joke and Dunnit bits that every FM jock has done for the past 20 years? He's funny if you've never heard FM morning radio....but if you have...he's every annoying Morning Zoo cliche....plus he's conservative.

I actually agree with most of his views except foreign policy.

Pays his taxes too... bad fit for the libs.

One reason why I like him, and hate most of the others...he let's people talk. There's nothing that annoys me more than a host that won't let his guests talk. Hannity, O'Reilly, you can't get a word in and then the guests start forcing it to get themselves heard. Drives me nuts.
Say what you will about Beck, but he let's his guests speak. At least as much as I've heard so far.

He's the female version of Ann Coulter. He says provocative things to get attention.

Typo, or very clever.

Footballguy
he's definitely a doomsayer - he's been preaching an economic downturn for the past year - way before anyone else said anything. I remember last year about this time he said we were about to head into a 1930's style recession, at the very least. I shrugged it off as Beck being a fearmongerer.
Gotta give him credit on that - he called this one pretty good.

I would love to spend 5 minutes in the boxing ring with this talentless #####, I had to listen to his radio show for over a year because my partner loved his show and it was insanely obvious that this a hole is a moron. It only makes perfect sense that he is now on Fox news.

His statements on global warming are one of the reasons I don't like him.

He can be a little tilted towards the Doomsday scenerios at times, and I think he goes a little too far at times with that...But he seems to follow his own principles and not your typical hyper conservative Republican standard schtick. Overall he tries to look at it from an everyday middle class working man's point of view and tells you how he sees it!
His book the Christmas Sweater is very good, if you believe in God and have fairly conservative values!

Quite melodramatic, but he knows he is schtick. Like Rush... they are just entertaining their audience. Hannity on the otherhand does not seem to realize it is a game. Same with 99% of the audience for all 3 shows.
The audience not knowing the difference is the problem, not the hosts.

I don't think I've ever watched Larry King for more than 5 minutes.

Beck has his moments, but he is not funny at all; though none of the "news" people are IMO. He kinda got schooled by O'Riley the other night and actually said something pretty witty which you could tell ticked off god, I mean O'Riley.
That being said, I kinda like Pat Buchanan, he cracks me up some times. Never in a million years would I have thought I would like Pat. What happened to him anyway? Jesus kick him out of the house?

I find Pat Buchanan one of the more refreshing of the conservative pundits. Not because I agree with what he believes in...but because he actually wants to politics.

I watch the McLaughlin Group on PBS pretty regularly, and Buchanan strikes me as someone who, while obviously conservative, doesn't just tow the party line, unlike Monica Crowley (Obama=evil, Repubs do no wrong) or Eleanor Clift (Obama=savior, Repubs do no right). He has his own thoughts, which at times stray (sometimes very far) from typical Republican ideas.
Moe Green

Funny. Those statements are one of the reasons I do like him.

I like when msnbc has Buchanan and Peter Fenn on together on Saturday mornings.

I used to be a big fan, even paid for the insider sub, but his doom and gloom has turned me off. He could use a liitle more entertainment and a little less enlightenment.

The Nine Principles
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Looks good to me. #2 doesn't apply to me, but it's a take it or leave it kinda thing.

Actually, if you drop #2 other aspects of this list become questionable at best.Just saying.

Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?
Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?
Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?
If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.
So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common. I urge you to read the instructions at the end for how to help make your voice heard.

Why seven and not six?
