The mayor of Crazy Town (GLENN BECK HAS THE LIBERALS RUNNING SCARED !!!)

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | September 9, 2009 | Richard DOPEY Roeper

[Brad from Tennessee]

When the Obama Administration took control in February they began hiring journalists from around the country and giving them cushy White House jobs. This was calculated. With print newspapers—like the Sun-Times—near bankruptcy Obama has held out hope to every member of the Dinosaur Media they will be rescued. Also, the hint of a newspaper bailout is floated from time to time by key Democrats. Recently, I saw an editorial attacking some Obama critic. The piece was about 600 words but it bore the bylines of four “journalists.” No doubt, like Richard Roeper, the editorial was FAXed to White House press office before the ink dried.

It sounds as though we might have found the person who watches Olbermann.

[Earthdweller]

Completely in the tank...Chi-town that is. Next comment.

[dead]

Why am I even reading the inane political ruminations of a fruity movie reviewer?

[VanDeKoik]

Glenn doesn’t need our critique. He needs us to listen and learn and spread the information.

He can wear a dress for all I care.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They tried to take Beck down, and in return what they got was the lead Color of Change Organizer Van Jones being taken out in a hail of bullets. Don’t underestimate the significance of this.

[Scanian]

The concept is not to do things to make himself the subject. The lunatic czars should be the subject.

In fact, I’ve noticed less clowning from him lately. I think he realizes that it’s time to put on a serious face.

I watched Glenn on O’Reilly last night and BO mocked him shamelessly. I don’t think he’d do that to Rush or Sean, do you?

[OrioleFan]

If Sarah Palin is so stupid, why are the ultralibs so afraid of her?

The attacks on Sarah were directed out of the White House. I believe Sarah's lawyer will push this if they ever go to court. I hope Axelrod and Emanuel get subpoenas.

If Glenn Beck is so crazy, why are the ultralibs so afraid of him?

Obama directed his friends in the MSM to go after Glenn. He did this in several speeches.

If the people at the Town Halls are so uninformed, why are the ultralibs so afraid of them? Why do they have to send thugs and goons to crowd them out, take away their homemade signs, beat them up, and intimidate their families?

I believe it was Obama who called out the SEIU thugs that beat up the Black man who was selling flags in St Louis...

[Question Liberal Authority]

Fox News star Glenn Beck has been ranting about the "communist" and "fascist" art woven into the designs of Rockefeller Center.

How is that crazy? Rockefeller Center was built in the 1930's when fascism and communism were all the rage in Europe and didn't have the same stigmas attached to them today. The art and architecture of the Rockefeller Center are very similar to the art and architecture of buildings built in Germany at the time.

Charlie Chaplin's mustache and Adolf Hitler's mustache are nearly identical. If someone sported such a mustache today, it would immediately be seen as "fascist" symbolism (possibly a parody). But if someone wore that mustache in the 1930's it would have just been a mustache.

Does Roeper even understand that in World War II, we fought on the side of Joseph Stalin? Does he understand that, even after Pearl Harbor, we did not declare war on Germany? We got into the European war because Germany declared war on us.

Roeper seems to have a knee-jerk reaction against anything being called "fascist" or "communist". Anyone using the term is a tin-foil-hat-wearing loon conducting a witch hunt. Yet there actually are actual fascists and communists in the world, and in history. Some are politicians. Some are architects. And some are movie reviewers.

[Disambiguator]

Yup, let the liberals view Glen Beck as a hilarious clown while he takes Van Jones and Obama down.

Van Jones took himself down. All Beck did was play audio and video clips of Van Jones speaking his own mind. You might say Glenn Beck is an "enabler." :^)

Siskel had a brain. The others don’t.

[BeckB]

‘Then again, we’re living in an era in which a number of people were seriously outraged over the prospect of the president of the United States giving a speech to be broadcast in schools. The president urged students to set their own goals, to commit to those goals and to work hard’

Not as outraged as the Democrats in 1991 when President Bush did the same thing. I believe Congress held hearing. I love the selective memory of Liberals

Oh my starry eyed surprise

It is amusing the Left doesn’t appear to be aware of how bad they are making themselves look by the manner in which they attack Beck today and Bush, etc in the near past.

By referring to Beck as a clown, a freak and a whack job they are admitting their agenda can be disrupted if not dismantled by such a person. If so then what does that make them?

They referred to Bush as every variation of stupid and yet turned around and said he “fooled” them into voting for the war on Iraq. Again, what level of intelligence must they haveto allow a “moron”, a “stupid man” to take them so easily?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Siskel named “Babe: Pig in the City” the best film of the year just before he died. I’ll always remember him fondly for that.

[Lee'sGhost]

Was looking to see if anyone else noticed that there were ZERO examples of Beck’s facts not being true.

It’s the same ad hominem attack tactic they use on Ann Coulter. All the Obamatron’s lap up the Kool Aide and NEVER ask, “So, what ARE the facts?”

[Mamzelle]

re: I watched the show when Beck discussed the sculpture at Rockefeller Center and I thought Beck, while certainly correct, was pushing a line of reason that would come across as a bit strange if not shrill.)))

Well, a hammer and a sickle is not something that Beck made up.

But the bit about Mussolini was strange--what I saw there was Apollo and his sun-chariot.

[101voodoo]

"Van Jones took himself down."

LOL, sure, if you believe this then you must also believe a murderer gets himself caught and convicted and the cop who put the evidence together resulting in capture, conviction and ultimate sentence had nothing to do with the killers downfall.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I remember that. When he died, I left.

[GotMojo]

couldn’t agree more....he’s too dramatic, sometimes shrill which needlessly gives ammunition to his opponents.....

he should simply, calmly lay out the facts and asking the basic questions.....
