Today is the end of the Glenn Beck Show...

For someone who calls himself a socialist, hawkeye, you certainly have unusual tastes in your tv watching.

Yes dlowan.

Despite the fact that I wrote that I'm not a Beck fan, I "probably" am losing one of my gods.

But what difference should that make. You have your narrative about Finn as you do a narrative about Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Ryan, FOX News, and why let something like facts alter them?

As I said, Finn, I have seen enough to feel pretty confident about my opinions of the man.
Of course, you can find examples to show me how wrong I am!

If you're looking for a fight, you've got the wrong person here.
I couldn't be bothered.
Certainly not over Glenn Beck.
Besides, I'm going out to dinner soon.
Sorry.

Bon appetite MsOlga!

Thanks, tsar.

Finn - Do you actually care to know "several examples," or are you at your normal game of posturing as indifferent, but getting your jollies by sending others on a goose chase. How many things would you need to see to demonstrate that MsOlga's statement was well founded?

I mean, you can for yourself (if you were actually interested) watch the video attached to the OP. You'd find plenty of gems in it.

Cut the bullshit Finn. You can't win by defending Beck, so you'll settle for trolling the people celebrating his TV departure. MsOlga is not playing into your game, so you're trolling her by suggesting that since she refuses to play, you have some sort of superior ground.

Do yourself a favor: If you don't like Beck, don't go out of your way to make yourself into a jackass trying and score points against his critics.

By that rating Beck isn't even close to Charlie Sheen.

Sheen's show is the second highest rated syndicated show with 9.3 million viewers
AND
11.6 million viewers in reruns of the current season.

Oprah averaged 8 million viewers for her show, and her network is struggling.

i loved it when he explained that bruce springsteen's born in the usa wasn't a patriotic song

and it only took him about 30 years to figure it out

plus the recent crying clip, sure his name isn't glenda beck?

Let him find several examples of Beck being reasoned and impartial.

At weaving conspiracy theories...


And those suckers will continue to follow Beck...

yes, we all know about those hoity-toity airs of yours...

at getting attention, at being a showman.

He sure is good at that. And definitely good for a few laughs...

"Fox News announced today that Glenn Beck will leave his show later this year. It's nothing personal. He just wants to spend more time with the voices in his head." –Jimmy Fallon

‎"The only real difference between Glenn Beck and Paul Revere is that when Paul Revere told you the British were coming they were, in fact, coming." –Jon Stewart

"I was devastated. In fact, last night I went home and finished off a whole pint of George Soros' Caliphate Crunch. Rum raisin with chocolate-covered micro chips." —Jon Stewart on Glenn Beck's departure from Fox News

"Fox News is dropping Glenn Beck's show. He spent the whole day crying his eyes out, and then he heard his show was getting dropped." –Craig Ferguson

"Glenn Beck retired or got fired...and a lot of people are asking who will now speak for the raving lunatics who startle you outside of a parking garage?" –Bill Maher

"I am just about the world's biggest Glenn Beck fan. I follow him even more closely than the shadowy forces tracking his every move." -Stephen Colbert

On Glenn Beck's complaints that critics of Arizona's immigration are making Nazi comparisons: "Glenn Beck is offended! Glenn Beck thinks playing the Nazi card is going too far. Glenn Beck — this is a guy who uses more Swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel." —Lewis Black, in a brilliant Daily Show rant in which he demonstrated that Glenn Beck has "Nazi Tourette's"

"It's 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, except there's just one degree, and Kevin Bacon is Hitler. Can I play? Let's see. Mother Teresa had a mustache. Hitler had a mustache. Mother Teresa is Hitler!" —Lewis Black, on Glenn Beck's frequent use of Nazi analogies

"James Cameron, who directed 'Avatar,' is in a feud with Glenn Beck, because Cameron called him a mad man. The two are very different. One makes millions creating fictional stories, and the other is James Cameron." –Craig Ferguson

"New Rule: Glenn Beck has to stop being so hard on himself. After his Eric Massa interview, Beck said, 'I think this is the first time I have wasted an hour of your time.' Oh Glenn, that's so not true. First of all, we never make it through the hour. But when we flip by your show and you're standing on your desk, dressed in lederhosen and holding back tears, etching something about Woodrow Wilson on your crazy board, believe me those two minutes aren't wasted. They're the funniest part of our day." –Bill Maher

"Our good friend, Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska, is a contributor to Fox News. Only been there a couple days. Already making friends. Today, she loaned Glenn Beck some mascara that does not run when you cry." –David Letterman

"Some critics are saying that Palin won't last on Fox because she's an over-emotional woman who gets the facts wrong. But I disagree. It's working great for Glenn Beck, so she'll be fine." –Craig Ferguson

"But here's how it works. Here's the official line of succession in control of the Republican Party. If Rush Limbaugh is disabled in any way, then control of the party is passed to Glenn Beck. That's the line of succession." –David Letterman

"Yesterday, President Obama prank-called a Washington radio station, calling himself 'Barry from D.C.' Then, just to mess with him, Obama called Glenn Beck's radio show as 'B. Hussein from Kenya.'"

"Fox News host Glenn Beck has lost over 30 sponsors since he called President Obama a racist. And the latest sponsor that he just lost is Clorox bleach. That's amazing. Even a company whose sole purpose is to make things whiter thinks Glenn Beck has gone too far." --Conan O'Brien

"Yesterday on Fox News, commentator Glenn Beck said that he believes President Obama is a racist. Well, to be fair, every time you watch Glenn Beck, it does get a little easier to hate white people." --Conan O'Brien

"And as you know, Santa Claus is working very hard with his elves to make sure every child gets at least one toy this Christmas, or as Glenn Beck calls that, 'socialism.'" –Jay Leno

"Glenn Beck had an emergency appendectomy, but he'll be back on the air tomorrow. That's right. However, for his first day back, doctors are warning Glenn to take it easy and only compare Obama to Hitler three times an hour." –Conan O'Brien

"During the middle of his show, Fox News commentator Glenn Beck was rushed to the hospital for an attack of appendicitis. Yeah. Apparently, Beck was crying and screaming incoherently, so his audience assumed everything was normal." –Conan O'Brien

"A new survey found that the average man cries about six times a year. That number would be a lot lower if it weren’t for Glenn Beck." --Jimmy Fallon

And, for die-hard Beck fans, like you, Hawkeye, there is always The Glenn Beck Conspiracy Generator which you can use until he resurfaces somewhere.

Be sure to put on your tin foil hat.

Not me, I have almost never watched him, in fact I rarely watch news or cable news channels on tv anymore, I ditched that bad habit years ago. My family has it on so I catch some of it sometimes though.

the problem for you is that I have a habit of being substantially correct, being proven correct, with what you claim are outrageous views. I understand that you have a knee jerk response to try to dismiss anything that you dont want to hear, but luckily most people are better listeners than you are, so you will not get far with your claims that I am a lunatic.

I guess if being correct is in the eye of the beholder and has absolutely nothing to with facts, you would be correct.

You took the bait. This is just hawkeye's bid to get put up on the "Things that people say that would make great signature lines" thread.

I keep challenging you to prove me wrong FART, so why does it so rarely happen?

Challenging? The opinion of your efforts is noted, but the reality is anything but. What challenge do you think you provide? I'll praise you for something though: You at least have the courage to make wrong predictions.

Next time you break wind, don't feel that you have to share it with the rest of the world.

'That's really hilarious. Hawkeye posts drivel by the truckload, but if asked for evidence for his claims, he'll toss of something such as that he is not one's research assistant, or, my favorite, he is "zen" and doesn't deal in proof.
