It's been a busy thread so far. What will the thread's endgame reveal? Will the Beck lovers come back with a super gotcha or resort to some stronger, more direct insult tactics. Will Beck critics reveal video of Beck's most looney moments in a sheer fit of 'we told you so? Will anyone drop an O-bomb(a)?(NO, PLEEESE!) I guess we'll just hafta wait and see. And now a word form our sponsorers....

WOW Machinehead and SpiritWarrior are you two going to stand for Chewwie calling you Beck lovers? After all you two CALLED and agreed with using the word idiot to describe other humans with whom you disagree.... and everybody knows only beck lovers and conserative republicans call names.... shame shame shame chewwie for insulting Machinehead and SpiritWarrior.. Here I thunked you liberals were all tolerant and wanted diversity....Oh well looks like that is all talk... and talk is cheap.

It's fun being dismissed with the usual insults about liberal's intelligence considering I'm mostly libertarian....like Glenn Beck.

QFT! I was curious as to what would happen when the shoe was on the other foot, hence my carefully worded 1st post. I have my answer now and it was what I expected.

Hmmm that's fairly sly for a suspected idiot MH!

Interesting thing about Beck claiming to be a libertarian. I have yet to hear him chime support for an issue with recent momentum and publicity concerning individual freedom- Same Sex marriage. So I doubt his true libertarianism. True libertarians are lambasting the voters of places like Maine, California, and others for denying happiness and freedom. He is certainly in a prominent place to do so. So have I just missed his strong and provocative stance on this issue because I'm not a loyal viewer or is Beck a fake libertarian?

Yeah, it is funny that a proponent of individual liberty is in favor of letting the PEOPLE decide whether or not to have gay marriage, fun fact, in EVERY state where it's been a choice for the PEOPLE, rather than legislated from on high by representatives who "know better than the sheep" or judges who don't have to be elected, the PEOPLE have refused gay marriage, each and every time. Now why would a LIBERTARIAN favor letting the PEOPLE decide if it's right for them or not. BTW since blacks overwhelmingly supported Prop 8 I've heard and read numerous reports of anti-prop8 meetings looking and sounding more like KKK meetings.

That's that liberal love and acceptance of all for you. Right up until you disagree. kind of like in this topic... funny that.

Yeah, you know, that was also organized by Van Jones, who was quietly fired from the White House when it was revealed that he is a card carrying communist (not socialist like the rest of the presidents cabinet/czars). Van Jones was surprise surprise surprise immediately hired by the Soros fund, just like every other Obammy flunky that gets uncovered and fired/retired/quit.

Originally Posted by wikipedia In July 2009 Color of Change, an organization that Jones founded in 2005 and left in 2007, launched a campaign urging advertisers on Beck's Fox News show to pull their ads, in response to comments by Beck in which he "called President Obama a racist
