The boss, Glenn Beck, Star Parker, and a guy who used to lead the Club for Growth, egging each other on about how new entitlements lead inevitably to socialism? Good lord. Toss in a few exchanges about Palin and Darwinism and this would be the greatest Hot Air clip of all time.
I can only assume that, with Colmes gone, the Foxies have decided to abandon all pretense and dump the liberal panelists, too. Farewell, Bob Beckel, we hardly knew ye!

Let’s not forget the $100K gazebo…government $$ at their best. I imagine that after the Stim Bill, we’ll have lots of pictures like this

Ah, AP finally comes out of the pro-Darwinism closet. No wonder he takes every opportunity to somehow try and pidgeon hole or needle against Palin in a not-so-really subtle manner.
Not like I’m surprised at this point. Gotta take care of this continuing Palin angst I suppose. What better way to do that than on HA?

I must be missing something – this looks sort of like the Glenn Beck (conservative opinion) Show. Why would he have Alan Colmes or Bob Beckel on it, necessarily?

Well, the one-sidedness works so well with Ubbermouth, doesn’t it?

That woman outing herself as a socialist, then being embarrassed she did it is THE BEST I’ve seen in YEARS.

Yeah!! Michelle!! Good to see her and Star Parker!!!
I just love it when gorgeous Conservative women take the
cause of truth and righteousness..:)

Why have on people who are liars and when they are not lying are simply wrong?
I mean when I want help on the job I don’t ask the guy stealing the ink out of the printers or the guy that gets everyone else to do his work.

Hannity has a liberal on his show every single night and so does Beck most of the time. What are you talking about Allah?
orlandocajun on February 5, 2009 at 6:36 AM
Beck has never made any pretense of having a balanced roundtable kind of show – why would he now?
I’ve always felt that Fox was waaay more centrist than anyone gave them credit for, that it was the predilictions of the other media outlets that made them seem so far right. Now, I’m worried that, in the interest of airing conservative views, they will swing too far in that direction.

I sincerely hope that my favorite cable news channel does not become just another echo chamber…
blish on February 5, 2009 at 7:53 AM
Why? My assumption is that FNC will replace Colmes with more thoughtful, more intellectually respectable spokespeople for the left than Colmes ever was. My assumption is FNC’s balance will be better, not worse.
Besides, what does Colmes have to do with the Glenn Beck show?
petefrt on February 5, 2009 at 8:06 AM
I’ve been listening to Beck, off and on, for several years. But I had doubts whether he’d play as well on TV as on radio.
I sampled his new show on FNC last week, and already I’m hooked.
After last night’s show, I was thinking I haven’t seen such trenchant, courageous, compellling commentary since Bill O’Reilly’s early shows. My bet is that Beck may become a record-setting hit for FNC. (I hope they’ll move him to a more favorable time slot, say 7:00-8:00, especially after daylight savings times resumes.)

This has always been my question. If propaganda works (and there is every historical evidence that it does as well as this last election), and if most other news sources rally to liberal causes with their propaganda (as any objective viewer recognizes), how will conservative thought ever prevail?
How could any sports team win a game if one team was allowed to break all the rules of the game while the other was restricted to the rules. My guess is that when the game is so distorted as we find the news today, there is just too many ignorant and uninformed people to “win” the game. And then we have the truth sites like Hot Air editorializing about how Fox should be sure and allow propagandists to be on every show. Should we allow the jihadists to be on every program where the war on terror is discussed. Sadly, there is no longer much difference.

That’s a big part of our problem, isn’t it. We won’t climb down off our high horses to do the hand-to-hand combat required to protect our freedoms. We seem to prefer playing by the old rules, or being liked, even if it costs us our way of life.
It’s more obvious every day, Obama-Pelosi-Reid are playing ruthlessly for keeps. The way it looks now, they’re going to win.
petefrt on February 5, 2009 at 8:59 AM
It’s rather un-free-market of me to say so, but perhaps instead of bailing out banks, we should break them up? It would provide an opportunity to separate out some of the bad debt, creating smaller banks with healthier balance sheets.
Another question – so the banks are in trouble because they’re holding all these “worthless” mortgages. But unless those homes are being crushed by some giant walking around America, they still exist. Houses, even empty ones, have value. So why not just go ahead and force the banks to change their accounting rules? Voila – the bad debt wouldn’t be nearly as bad.

Watching the bat shit craziness of Glenn amd Michelle on Fox is the funniest comedy on television.
The CEO’s have already found the loop holes in the salary cap.
It is still business as usual and the recession will turn into a depression.
These are crazy times and those two are leading the insanity.

Keep the clip of Rep. Waters admission that the Democratic Party is really for socialism and gaining government control of every industry is their goal. Also, the clip of Joe the Plumber asking his world famous question of now President Obama and the Presidents response that we must share the wealth.
Further, this administration is so dysfunctional I will be surprised if it lasts very much longer before the U.S. population (6 billion according to “Nanny Fulo’sh!+” math) demand a repeal of this bill and that any future legislation offered by this administration undergoes massive levels of sunshine (which kills a bunch of germs).

Starting last night I added the White House to my list of folks I am emailing to note my displeasure at the stimulus bill. He’s out there cheerleading so he needs to know the team isn’t happy. I will add the White House my phone list also.

This liberal is all about Socializing…silence…brain fart…
Beautiful!!!!
sabbott on February 5, 2009 at 9:43 AM
I understand your point, but the MSM are so blatantly biased that I still like the idea of trying to be fair and balanced. For example, shows like “This Week” or “Meet the Press” where you get 3 or 4 “concerned journalists” aka bleeding heart libs, where they all sit around and bash Republicans and kiss each others butts is indigestible. Sometimes they will have one token conservative like poor George Will who thinks he is being taken seriously. Remember Bill Maher’s show “Politically Incorrect”? Hmmm, let’s have a show with 4 guests, one of which will be someone with a different opinion than mine. Let’s see, that will be 4 against 1. Then, we’ll all pile on the guy while the audience cheers! Can you say “The View”?
This is their basic formula and it sucks. Oh wait, I almost forgot, they “care” more than I do…

Speaking of bat shit crazy:
“Frustrated by a lack of bipartisan outreach from House Democratic leaders, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said House Republicans — who voted unanimously last week against the economic plan pushed by President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — will pitch a “positive, loyal opposition” to the proposal. The group, he added, should also “understand insurgency” in implementing efforts to offer alternatives.
“Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. “And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.”
The gop are America’s taliban.

This drive toward socialism will accellerate the coming of the day when America dumps the socialism concepts for good.
The most socialistic segment of our society is the urban black community. They elect the most leftest candidates and are the recipients of the most socialistic programs. The result is no personal responsibliity and the lowest marks in every category of social and economic achievement.
King wanted us to judge people on the content of their character, and the socialism in the black community is contaminating the character of millions of black people.
saiga on February 5, 2009 at 10:57 AM
I agree we’re going to have to bottom out on socialism before we can thoroughly reject it… again. And I agree Obama-Reid-Pelosi are plunging us to this bottom at a breath taking speed. I never expected it to happen in my lifetime, but here it comes.
petefrt on February 5, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Kinda nice. At least now & then. God knows the pinklets get plenty of airtime.
argos on February 5, 2009 at 1:32 PM
I don’t have cable, so nowdays I only catch Fox News online in clip form.
Glen is fine, but I know his radio show is really one-sided and it looks like Hannity, now solo, only has conservative guests.
Is Fox News turning into a Rightie MSNBC? And why would they do that if MSNBC is doing so poorly?
29Victor on February 5, 2009 at 5:00 PM
If only. To know Bob Beckel’s name is to know him too well.
I can’t help but smile at Glenn’s “pithy” closing, there.
