I do watch his show. Pretty much any time I am home when it is on. I don't watch it because it's good/intelligent/honest/informative. I watch it because it's very interesting to watch a delusional mad man slowly losing his sanity. Psychologists have a perfectly documented case study for years to come. This dude is losing it. If you have never seen his show, he cries on the air regularly. Dude is fucking nuts.

LOL, your using the Huffington Post as a source?

It's pretty funny that they're are comparing the video shown by Beck as "step dancers". The video is clearly not showing dancers (unless dancers usually wear army clothing and make pledges to Obama in a military marching form).

And what do you think of Louis Farrakhan's sermon telling his audience that "they are the instruments that God will use to bring about universal change. That's why Barrack has captured the youth, when the Messiah speaks the youth will hear".

And how about when Obama, in a speech to a large crowd declared, that we need a "civilian security force that's just as strong, just as well funded" as the US military.

Beck is simply pointing out this movement that is indeed taking place.

Still, no lies here.

Try again.

Ummm, by my count somewhere around 3000 americans have died on american soil from terrorism or foreign military in the last 30 years. Meanwhile in the homeland there are 10s of thousands of murders each year, and millions of robberies. I'm not backing Obama, but I'm pretty sure I'd feel safer if we spent 3 trillion dollars fighting crime than 3 trillion on a pointless war.

As for Beck, if you believe anything the mainstream media puts out, I pity you. Every last anchor/newsman on fox, cnn, or any major news station is a bought out shill. What they say is based on what they think will draw more ratings and the paychecks from people who pay big to sway american opinion. I know crackheads and tweakers who won't touch oxycontin, but people still hang on Rush Limbaugh's every word, this frightens me to no end.

As for Obama, I'm holding back judgment. He was handed a shitstorm and a half and I think its hilarious, that after 8 years of bush wiping his ass with the constitution, the geneva convention, and personal liberties, that everyone has such negative things to say about Obama.

The whole system is corrupt. There are no true checks and balances anymore. Your government has been sold to the highest bidder. We have to rebuild from the ground up - government, education, health care, everything. We're the world's leading superpower but we have some of the dumbest, unhealthiest people in the world. Let the banks and housing markets fail and work themselves out. Stop giving money to stupid people who have already proved they can't handle money. Honestly if there wasn't so much corruption and greed from the tops of the food chains in housing, banking, medicine, and government, none of us would be here arguing.

Food for thought: the average 18 year old american could read at a more proficient level at the turn of the 19th century, just before the public school system was introduced, than the average 18 year old american living today.
