First on TVNewser: Tipsters inside Fox News tell us Glenn Beck's vacation this week from his Fox News show was not planned. We hear Beck was told to take this week off to let some of the heat surrounding him die down. That heat began July 28 on "Fox & Friends" when Beck said he thought Pres. Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people," adding, "This guy is, I believe, a racist."
In the days and weeks that followed an organization called ColorofChange.org mobilized an effort to get advertisers to pull their spots from Beck's show. Earlier this month, a Fox News spokesperson told TVNewser that the advertisers simply moved their spots from Beck to other programs, "so there has been no revenue lost."
But the list of advertisers grew to 20 and so did the resolve inside FNC that something more should be done.
A Fox News spokesperson denied our accounts and simply told us, "Glenn Beck will back on Monday." But several sources inside FNC confirm that this is a forced vacation.

If I ever go there again I will take one of the cruses so I don't have to stay on the islands at night.
No DuncanWaring, I am sure you are not a degenerate like that pos.
Heard that too. He was really trying to make something clear without spelling it out. He’s spooked. He knows he’s crossing someone’s line in the sand.
Atlantis on Paradise Island felt nice and safe. I took a water taxi across to Nassau however and know what you mean about watching your back.
Re: “Wow! 15 posts and not one mention of how good Judge Napolitano is doing sitting in for Glenn.”
**************
I’ll say it — Judge Napolitano is doing a great job. That said, I miss Glenn Beck! Nothing Beck has ever said made me blink an eye. It’s all true —
...
St. Martin is half Dutch and half French. Not British. I think St. Bart’s may also be French. Aren’t these the French West indies?
The same day I heard that I was listening to the local Air America outlet. The night-time host called Hannity, Rush, Levine and Beck "those pigs" and said that Beck looked suicidal, and he exepcted that he would kill himself any day now. It wasn't said in a joking way.
This is the intro paragraph you get:
Is there still any doubt that there is no bottom, no depth below which the crazed, incestuous coupling of American Christianity and American Fascism will not take this decaying society? Even with the insane ravings and body spasms of a drug-addled freak like Rush Limbaugh; the gibbering bullshit and potential on-camera suicide by the alcoholic Glenn Beck; the demon-possessed (or demon-exorcised; who knows?) shrieks of a once and future Republican presidential hopeful about “death panels” that may pass judgement on her grandmother and her (as she describes him) “baby with Down Syndrome,” the increasingly incoherent Sarah Palin; even with all that foaming, acid-soaked madness there is an even deeper pit into which America’s Curse of Christian Fascism is trying to drag us all.
yes those are/were French and Dutch
His voice even sounds different on the radio. I think he is very upset over all this, the Nazi’s are winning, soon he’ll be off the air. And their not all liberals, many on “our team” want to see him gone ...
Judge Napolitano does a good job of representing intellectual conservatism. Judge Napolitano is smart man that gives better arguments, has a better delivery than Beck, and can argue his point much better than Beck. That appeals to some people.
Glenn Beck is a bit of a J6P that has great instincts. That appeals to other people.
The network benefits from having both, though I think its image would be improved if it had more Napolitanos on.
why would people on our side what to see him gone?
Cause they are after power just like the liberals
Do you ever wonder how Beck does it? Radio show, evening show and then appearances on other shows. Books and tours. Clearly, some manic thing going there there.
The left has nobody like Beck.
What he's reported about ACORN alone ought to get him a Pulitzer (or whatever kind of award).
Try Maine - if you oreally want to detress =- on second thought, forget I said anything. Go anywhere else - leave Maine to us. ;o)
This post is about Glenn Beck - and y'all have hijacked it...
