Comparing Obama to Hitler and the plight of Fox News to that of the Jew in the Holocaust has nothing to do with campaign promises, but just keep ranting away.

Seeing that this thread is 14 pages, Beck is "crying" his way to the bank on the backs of the libs who mock him.. Its all about ratings, doesn't matter if you like him or hate him, you are still listening... 
I watched him one time, and thought he was a smarmy tool, a righty Olbermann if you will, so I won't be adding to his ratings and his $$.. seems like Gunz, Choke, et al have helped Beck pad his bank account.. well done

"well done" indeed. Im all for him making money off the corpse of the GOP.
Beck spends much more time going over Obama's own words. He is certainly over the top clown, but he knows it. He is not trying to pass himself off as some intellectual. He clearly enjoys mocking politicians on both side of the isle.

Beck reminds me of the guy in school who acted like a slacker, but we all knew he couldn't do the work and only pretended to be a slacker to cover his low intelligence.

Its why Obama tried to brighten the spotlight. Bring up Beck, Hannity, Rush and people (who are not entrenched in the left or right) cringe.
Thats marginilzation. People dont want the association -- and pulling the voting lever is like a blood pact.

Correct. Between Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, what was once a proud party lead by intelligent, well heeled, well intentioned, well informed people is rapidly becoming party lead by brash, emotional, ill informed, dishonest screamers who care more about sound bytes and popularity than they do going about presenting an earnest platform.I know the left wing is guilty of this as well, but never before in the history of my life have I felt so sorry for the other side. It used to be that the left was the easy target for ridicule, but not any longer. GW reduced the republican party to shambles. Turning to Palin and Beck to pick up the pieces and regroup is akin to asking FEMA to repair New Orleans. There are better people in the republican party to lead than Palin and Beck. Yet from where I'm sitting, those two make the most noise from their party. I'd set about fixing it, were I a member of that side. And fast, too. Because no matter what Obama does or doesn't do, there's no evidence that republicans are set to offer a better alternative. Not when you allow Palin and Beck to do the loudest talking for you.No.The staunch conservatives will vote right wing (even as the politicians hide the GOP/® monickers).Im talking more towards the votes that arent already accounted for. The new votes and the middle ground.The GOP continues to have its "brand" be more and more marginalized. The right can attack the left (and vice versa) but what are you doing on your own and to yourself? Beck says >hi!.Choke- so are you saying that conservatives who do not want to call themselves Republicans will vote for Obama because of Beck?

Certainly Olbermann has some negative effects for the Dems at times.
He is more comparable to Rush then Beck though. (Not influence, just content).
And yes the conservative talkers (based on entertainment) reach a massive audience beyond just their staunchest conservatives.
There was a time when it worked in the GOPs favor. Undeniably. But the tables have turned.
what is your source to show that Beck is causing Rs to vote D? I'm curious where you are getting this from?

Thats ridiculous. Obama won because of a few things, I would tell you why he won but you wouldnt like it. Regardless, Beck had nothing to do with any of it. Matter of fact, Rush, Beck and those fellas were probably secretly happy Obama won.

Funny, we did exactly what the Democrats told us we should do, nominated McCain. McCain was suppose to bring the moderates to the Republicans.

Just quit Gr00vus. I am serious when I say I do not think Parrothead understands what we are trying to convey to him. Now either he is playing dumb or honestly has no idea how it works. I am not being insulting but I am others have explained this a few times and he still bring up the point that Beck is not on the ballot or Beck's viewers are important, and he is just not getting it.Putting aside the silliness of Republicans doing what Democrats "told them" they should do, can you not see how this "McCain was suppose to bring the moderates to the Republicans" could have possibly been subverted by this "Beck and Palin are killing us" ?Funny, we did exactly what the Democrats told us we should do, nominated McCain.

Beck was a non-factor in the election as he was still at CNN and not all that popular or Republican. Palin gave McCain a chance, but McCain's lame campaign highlighted by his rushing off to DC to save the bailout, did him in. McCain never attacked Obama and never defended any of Bush's policies, including the war on terror. Granted some of them shouldn't be defended, but when Obama is spending his whole campaign lumping McCain together with Bush you have to say something before the end of the final debate. Palin's biggest problem was they threw her to the wolves first. They should have given her a dozen of friendly interviews before sending her into enemy territory where you knew all they were going to to is try to make her look bad.Putting aside the silliness of Republicans doing what Democrats "told them" they should do, can you not see how this "McCain was suppose to bring the moderates to the Republicans" could have possibly been subverted by this "Beck and Palin are killing us" ?Funny, we did exactly what the Democrats told us we should do, nominated McCain.

You're right. I promised myself I'd try to stay out of political/religion threads as much as possible after the last election. They're pretty pointless. Same people saying the same stuff over and over again. Thanks for reminding me. I'm out.

Palin's biggest problem was the fact that the "liberal media" did not even have to try to make her look bad. She accomplished that goal on her own. Which, furthering the point, did not make McCain look good nor did it make the voting block not looking to vote Democrat sway in the Republican direction. I was all set to vote for McCain until he picked Palin. And, there is a huge number of individuals that had that same exact thought.

You can have that world. Sounds pretty sucky.I dont care what the hippies are laughing at to be honest. They are nothing to me in my world. As far as "crying" goes I dont necessarily think that means you are a 'weak" person. My pastor would cry at the end of most of his services and he is by no means weak. Passionate, but not weak.I guess I do but only because I find it incredibly funny that a vocal mouth piece for the party that stands behind guns and war and being tough on crime with no compassion for the poor is nothing more than a snivelling little cry baby. It might not bother you, but I bet some of the hard nosed republicans would like Beck to turn down the fake crying. And I bet deep down, you probably don't like it that liberal hippies are laughing at the face of your political party.Who cares
