I will give you one example when every Republican in the senate voted against the HC bill he continued hammering away saying how they are still progressives.

I seriously don't remember hearing him say that and I listen to him just about every day.  He does say that some republicans are progressives (and there are quite a few) but I don't remember him labeling all republican's progressive after voting against the HC bill.  He is getting a tad sensitive about the personal attacks he has received lately which kind of bothers me.  If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

The giftedest and taletedest don't get math do they?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Ask Campbell Brown whether shows like Becks are doomed. Her show on CNN is such a ratings failure she resigned.

Oh and if Glenn Beck never does anything good in his life again...I will always love his show for that laugh he played the day after the 2004 election

Hey Tx . . . did you see whose name is being floated as a possible replacement for Brown?

I'm a regular watcher, I DVR it, and catch a little of the radio each day.  I didn't really pick up on "Ron Paul Talking Points."  I mainly watch it for the history lessons, and the exploration of just who the hell is in the Obama regime.  It's very informative.  The Founders' Fridays are excellent, as are "Your Time to Be Heard," where Glenn talks to black conservatives, legal immigrants, etc.  

I honestly do not understand why people call him "crazy."  Everything he presents is well-documented.  It's on video right there!  (Van Jones is an example).  

He does present solid investigations/history that are worth watching for alone.    I have fact checked some of his stuff and he is solid on what he presents.    He can be out there on some stuff, and he does lean heavily libertarian (I don't agree with him on some foreign policy opinions he has),  and the economy stuff does have a tad bit of chicken little sprinkled in -- that said, his show is a good one.

Eliot Spitzer!!  Now who the hell would watch that?  What does he have to say?  Who comes up with this stuff?  A sabateur?  So many questions! 

Only tangentially related:  NYers, have you heard about a guy being considered for Lt. Governor for Cuomo?  Darryl Aubertine.  He's from around my neck of the woods.  A dem, but not really a moonbat.  A dairy farmer background, a straight-arrow type.  No sniff of scandal around him, which would be a breath of clean fresh air.

No, I haven't, but dairy farmers have their own ideas about "a breath of clean fresh air."  :tongue:

I do too and I agree, I have learned more about history (that you can verify, not opinion) in the last year than I have in my other 42 years of life.  I love his Founding fridays.  It seems it is mainly people who don't watch him (regularly or at all) that call him a nut.  

Yeah, if he spews Ron Paul talking points, then maybe Paul's been a bit more vilified then he shoulda been.

I don't watch his show every day, but often enough.  Despite some "akward" moments, I can't really think of anytime I've sat there and thought to myself "he's wrong".

Yeah, me too, his information is well researched. Oh, and EVERYONE'S ratings are down, according to The Wire. Maybe people just aren't watching TV as much. I know I'm outside a lot more.

Uh huh.  Glenn Beck is the one that's hurting.

CNN's Anderson Cooper – down 41%
CNN's Campbell Brown – down 39%
CNN's Wolf Blitzer – down 37%
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann – down 28%
MSNBC's Headline News – down 26%
MSNBC's Chris Matthews – down 23%

I didn't include Maddow's 8% drop.  Those three people probably found something else to do.

15. I think the boycott(s) of his show are having an effect.
   
And this is a good thing.

In the dummie fantasy world, boycotting a show they've never watched affects its ratings.
