urban chic: Could you please offer some details about what's so wrong with the helthcare reform bill that apparently frightens you so? In what ways it is a scam and so forth?

I love how liberals say that they're free thinkers and are open-minded about issues... that is until someone with a different view they don't like speaks their mind. Glen Beck has every right to say what he wants about the Health Care scam that Obama is putting out there. Someone has speak the truth about how WRONG it is. There are plenty of Republicans that are compassionate. In fact, Glen beck himself is a compassionate guy. For example, when he tried to help a former Navy Seal and friend who had lost his entire team while on a mission in Afghanistan only to have the dog he was given Dasy (named after all the men) as a new companion to cope with his loss to be murdered by a couple teenager thugs one late night.Neither party is perfect.

@spacekatgal- lmao. maybe repugs will obliterate and right leaning folks with common sense replace it with a more INTELLECTUALLY based party that's tolerant and compassionate towards people who are not filthy rich christian white men. but for now i'm just enjoying watching glenn beck, rush limbaugh, and o'reilly drive all the repugs on a bus to crazy town. why can't someone like megan mccain be a republican mouthpiece? she makes...SENSE when she speaks.

I'm talking about the people that have hijacked your party, not all Republicans. I'm talking about the lunatic fringe of conservatives that have divorced themselves from reality. I'm perfectly happy for you guys to keep self-destructing with cheerleaders like Glenn Beck. But, you're not going to win elections until you hit rock bottom, realize the massive betrayal of your principles and come back from conservative outer space.

Does anyone else see the seething hate flowing from Glenn Beck and Fox News? Is this the guy who agreed that America should be bombed? Or is that another Fox News 'personality'? The axis of evil centers around Fox News.

Just because some has conservative values does not mean that they aren't compassionate. Glenn Beck is angry about where Barack Obama has taken this country in the short period he has been President, and so should the rest of this country! President Obama has turned on all of his campaign promises, yet no one except Fox News has the gumption to stand up and say it. If this were a Republican President who went back on all of his campaign promises you could be sure that every media station and publication would be publishing it as "breaking news."

I love Glenn! He is batsh*t crazy! This dude is seriously f-ed up. He's a recovering alcoholic, and you see the repressed rage that caused him to drink coming out in this clip. CaterpillarGirl, when people that have not been indoctrinated into the mindset of the Republican lunatic fringe see this clip, we see someone insane, angry, and frothing. We also see someone with no compassion for other people.
