Glenn Beck terminated at fox

Fransisco if you don't think the likes of Beck Creates HATE and intolerance and causes the type of violence that happened to the congresswoman in Arizona then you are truly are in right field

Oh by the way CBC budget cost every person in Canada $34 each. Money well spent, you should listen Franny

[silverback]

Who said he was a "reporter"? Nobody here.

Why won't you answer some simple questions? It makes people question you if all you can do is throw insults and try and change the subject. I don't think you're gonna make the varsity debate team.

Now, come on, it's easy if you try.

What kind of society do you want us to live in? How much government? Private enterprise or not? Personal choice or not?

[Fransisco]

Mustard you really are an idiot.

Giffords was shot by 22 year old Jared Loughner.

And according to his best friend, Zach Osler, "disputed speculation by media commentators that Loughner's actions were fueled by partisan politics and rhetoric, insisting, "He did not watch TV, he disliked the news, he didn't listen to political radio, he didn't take sides, he wasn't on the Left, he wasn't on the Right."

If he didn't watch TV or listen to talk radio Beck couldn't have had much, if any, influence on him. You're engaged in your own little out to lunch conspiracry theory there mustard. And its a poor one at that. At least when they tried to blame Charles Manson on the Beatles ol Charlie had actually listen to their records.

And as far as the CBC goes I'd rather they spent the money on proper gear and equipment for our people in the military.

Fear and Jealousy are powerful emotions.Too bad the likes of Jenny,Willy,and others aren`t mature enough to realize they are products of it!!!
Their cowardice is telling!! They have nothing of fact to bring forward except spite!!Go back to CBC and have a Good Day!!!
Fox News is Number One in the US and that`s what makes their jealous blood boil!Great that they are too lazy to do anything about it except revel here in Canada and snipe!!Here`s hoping Canada Post doesn`t let them down in delivering them their sustinance!!

[seabass]

Ya you guys are right Beck doesn't say radical stuff, doesn't create hatred or rile up the hillbillys and doesn't work for a right wing agenda news network. Just got his wings last week and is going to be pope next go round. Nuff said you guys were right.

[mustardman]

Silverback the problem with Beck is the Disease he spreads that Gov't is bad and consequently the americans think that so, They get Bad gov't

We in Canada Generally Don't believe gov't is Bad so we usually get good gov't
However there is a strain in Harpers government that does have the same disease as beck has.lol

We need a balance of Public Enterprise and Private enterprise. You cannot have unregulated free enterprise without the catastrophes that happened south of the border. You need regulations.The main reason we didn't have a meltdown too are regulations on our banks
I believe smaller businesses are the drivers of our economy however gov't seem to get infuenced heavily from lobbyist from big business, who blackmail that they will pull out unless certain concessions are given

Beck publically retracts his statement Van Jones was a convicted felon: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200912040042

Beck admits the band Muse did not contact him as he claimed on air. (but says he didn’t lie, he was just joking when he repeatedly made those statements that they did) http://www.nme.com/news/muse/47689

Beck regrets claiming Obama was a racist. (but he says he will not retract the statement but rather amend the statement.
"(Obama's) viewpoints come from liberation theology ... And I miscast it as racism," Beck said. (What ever in the hell that means!)) http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/08/29/Regret-but-no-retraction-from-Glenn-Beck/UPI-19581283103088/#ixzz1J934ZLMF

And my favourite is Becks ranting about Obama never using a bible when sworn in. Beck claims he checked an Obama was only president who was sworn in without using a bible. (Wondered where he checked as: ``There is no record of a Bible being used from the time of George Washington's second inauguration through to the inauguration of John Quincy Adams. The only record of John Tyler's "swearing-in" is an affidavit where there's no mention of a Bible. Some say Franklin Pierce affirmed his oath of office on a law book. Theodore Roosevelt did not use a Bible at his first swearing-in ceremony. Calvin Coolidge did not place his hand on the Bible, which was close-by, when sworn in by his father. Rutherford B. Hayes, at his Sunday, March 3, 1877 private ceremony, did not use a Bible. JFK did not place his hand on his family Duoay Bible, which rested on top of the podium. London B. Johnson used Jacqueline Kennedy's Catholic Missal (prayer book) while on board Air Force One, after Kennedy had been shot. Staff could not find a bible on the plane. Barack Obama, at his "do-over" ceremony with Chief Justice John Roberts, didn't include a Bible,`` according to Wiki Answers. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/22/glenn-beck-bible/

Here is the clip on Van Jones. Once again in the proper context.

[parsley]

Wow! That was a dandy Sunday noon read. Thanks. LOL

Now I don't agree with gore, but he influenced the world. I read his things while a preacher might have argued my time would have been better spent reading the Bible. But I read something things Gore said.

You may not agree with beck, but he's influenced the world. Willy,if you and I sat down and watched beck together, we'd enjoy it.

Be honest........how many watch beck?

[parsley]

mussy, will you write a reference for me? lol

[seabass]

Lately Pars not at all. I'm full of enough it already!

[dmlfarmer]

My post was in response to silver's statement: "name me one (maybe two) statement(s) that have been completely dis proven and made him publicly retract it." and the gloating by persons on this list that no one had done this. Well I gave 4 disproven statements.

And I am amazed how Fran (and Beck himself) try to spin a retraction. Listen carefully to the words starting at the 13 second mark of the clip Fran posted and I provided a link to.

Beck states and I quote: "By the way, a while back I mentioned that Van Jones was a convicted felon. I think I said that, what, I said that about 4 months ago on one of the programs. I said from the very beginning of this program that we would always correct the factual errors when someone points them out or if we realize we made them. Van Jones is not a convicted felon."

Sounds to me like Beck was wrong in saying Van Jones was a convicted felon and sounds to me like Beck admitted he was wrong and retracted his calling Van Jones a convicted felon.

There is no PROPER CONTEXT that one needs to consider here. Van Jones was not a convicted felon as Beck claimed and Beck retracted his calling Van Jones a convicted felon publically. Just because Van Jones may or may not be a communist does not give Beck or Fran the right to label hime a convicted felon. Beck was wrong, he knew it, and he publically retracted his labeling of Van Jones a convicted felon.

[Fransisco]

Good grief you people are ridiculous.

Van Jones did spend time in jail. No he wasn't convicted so technically he's not a felon, but one can see how an honest mistake, or a factual error could be made.

On top of which Beck corrected himself when the error was pointed out. This does not make him some kind of evil genius out to destroy the world. Get a grip people.
