Quotes of the day
posted at 10:35 pm on September 14, 2009 by Allahpundit
“Obama Derangement Syndrome is establishing itself as a potent political force, able to rally tens of thousands of citizens to the Washington Mall after Glenn Beck’s call. Joe Wilson’s outburst isn’t an embarrassment of incivility to these folks; it is a rallying cry for an army of useful idiots. But Republicans will soon find that they cannot contain or moderate this strain—while Democrats won’t understand what hit them…
Republicans are playing a dangerous game. They are benefitting from all this anger in the short term, but they have tapped into something deep and ugly that they can’t control. Calling the president a communist or even Hitler is something far beyond simple incivility or street theater—it is an accusation that intentionally stirs the crazy pot. It is ultimately an incitement to violence.”

You can say the same thing about Rush…doesn’t make it true. Savage, Beck, Levin, Rush, even Hannity have to sell themselves, and they wouldn’t last if they were just BSing their audience. Glenn believes what he believes, and is very passionate about it. It isn’t phony. Now Glenn could be wrong…and he even says he hope he is…but from his research and perspective, his opinion is what he believes.

Says you spitkit!
But, he’s a cancer survivor too!
Fact is, many warriors and patriots only become so,
after they’ve confronted their own mortality demons–
thats the stuff heros are made of.

It’s worse than that; he’s a Democrat.
Anon Y. Mous on September 15, 2009 at 4:17 AM
Savage Weiner most definitely. But not by much. If you want to know what branched off the weasel evolutionary line, that’s savage.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 4:21 AM
Glenn was also the same idiot who after reading the quran, proclaimed that he had every reason to believe that islam is a religion of peace. Did you know that glenn got so drunk at one point in his life, that he fell out of a window. That’s the story. I know it’s not fair to bring in his past dirty laundry, but I think there’s something loose, shaky, and unstable there.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 4:26 AM
Just so you guys can be introduced to the sane and rational world, I’ll tell you what I like. Krauthammer, Will, Michael Medved, Rush, Hannity, Byron York, WSJ and Dennis Prager. Top notch–all around good stuff.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 4:29 AM
You LIE!

If the Democrats wanted us to treat their President with respect, then they shouldn’t of given us a die hard Communist
with a domestic agenda to ruin this country, while all the while he’s feeding his psychotic delusions of being the messiah.
Jeff from WI on September 15, 2009 at 5:31 AM
That was an excellent video. I’ve had my differences with Beck’s, er, locution. But, this was, by far, the best I’ve seen. Really, really great.
I am not an advocate of a third party. But, at the same time, what can we do if our choices are the same (virtually) as last year? Most of these people do not fear us. That is tyranny. They must have some fear of reprisal for their undermining of our system. We’ve slept for too, too long.
Not sure about the fear of violence. I do know that ramming more bills through, particularly HC, amnesty, or cap/trade will be monstrously devastating and will inflame the nation’s anger more. Which is RIGHT, by the way. Why should we not be enraged over what is happening, and the smarmy, smirking president who keeps his pretty hands clean while outsourcing his retribution to those thugs he surrounds himself with. Why should we not be outraged over not being heard?
One last thing: does Beck have security? Like, multiple body guards? He needs it.
Diane on September 15, 2009 at 5:45 AM
Fox news reported last night that of all these people in these uncivil, ugly mobs …
ZERO were arrested.
And … incitement to violence? What – do you mean that ignoring our concerns in the media and pretending we don’t matter. Calling us racists and Nazis and Evilmongers?
That is not an incitement to violence?
Where’s the compassion for us that was shown to Rev. Wright by the other side? Why aren’t libbies questioning … “Why are these people saying what they are saying?” … “What is their life experience?”
It’s clear they aren’t attempting to “understand” us the way they demanded Conservatives to understand Wright.
Yeah … you got a storm … and that puny umbrella you’re holding – it’s not going to save you. You’re gonna get wet I’m afraid.
HondaV65 on September 15, 2009 at 5:47 AM

TMK on September 15, 2009 at 6:01 AM
And so the demonizing of Beck to protect the precious Messiah begins…
Although it is hard to see how you can be harder on Beck’s past life than he is on himself. But hey go to town. You don’t have an audience for it but we have all been waiting for it to start.
petunia on September 15, 2009 at 6:19 AM
The only violence that’s being incited here is going to come from the Left. Avlon is just warning us that, like a cornered badger, the Left is going to lash out snarling with fangs bared. Who was it that received a bomb threat right before the march on Washington? It wasn’t ACORN, that’s for sure.
RedRedRice on September 15, 2009 at 6:32 AM
I thank Glen for bringing a lot of information to the forefront that would not have been exposed. I have personally stopped watching him as a personal decision, but never would demonize anyone who continues to watch. He is becoming a tad arrogant in my opinion. One of my issues with Obama is his “cult of personality” and I am seeing the same lately with Glen. The leftists have always played games, that is their MO. I think they are playing again now with the deliberate non coverage of important events that in ordinary times would be a journalists dream.
The argument is simple: You either want large government control, or you do not. We know where Obama stands. It is up to the GOP to counter the argument with the facts..
One question: Why in God’s great name did McCain and the GOP refuse to tell the American people exactly what regulations are? The problem with the GOP is simple. They have allowed the left to define the issue, with no counter attack with the facts.
shar61 on September 15, 2009 at 6:35 AM
What they fear is not violence but an uprising of every day Americans who are sick of it.
CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 6:39 AM
It is quite clear that though likely not coordinated there has been a major call to discredit those that are standing up to this madness. I question this writer’s patriotism for he is the useful idiot.
CWforFreedom on September 15, 2009 at 6:40 AM
So this guy never watched Keith Olberman either? Or visited the Huffington Post?
ctmom on September 15, 2009 at 6:46 AM
Don’t these weasels understand that if they would just leave the Constitution and the American people alone, they wouldn’t have Americans in Washington waving copies of the Constitution and demanding to simply be left alone. Morons.
jimmy2shoes on September 15, 2009 at 6:47 AM
What projection this “Daily Best” article is.
This, coming from the Left?
It never ceases to astound me.
Time to give The Bully a b!tchslap.
Lockstein13 on September 15, 2009 at 6:58 AM
I do not always agree with Glenn Beck, when he goes of on Bush and Teddy Roosevelt it just grates on my nerves…the idea that he is a tool of the Republicans is absurd.{Note that Reagan gets a pass for amnesty, tax hikes and intrusion in Latin America..all of which Glenn gives other people hell for, and note that if Glenn had his way on the Patriot Act there might well have been some successful attacks since 9/11}
Also, idea that the disquiet we see in the electorate is part of some Republican plot is also absurd.
These people are just hoping that these are not real people, regular people who are just fed up with what is happening in their government.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:02 AM
“Calling the president a communist or even Hitler is something far beyond simple incivility or street theater..”
Blah, blah, blah. The left is afraid they are starting to lose their base. Democrats are starting to join the protests and hold those signs, too.
albill on September 15, 2009 at 7:05 AM
I drove up to DC this weekend and took part in the march and rally. And it wasn’t because of any “call” put forth by Glenn Beck. I dont’ watch him – I don’t even have cable or satellite!
I went because of what I’ve been reading online and talking with my friends about, and because it seemed the logical next step after attending local Tea Parties on 2/27, 4/15, and 7/4.
What is it with the opposition that they can only think of us as a bunch of mind-numbed robots?
Lurking Vet on September 15, 2009 at 7:08 AM
lololol
Jeff from WI on September 15, 2009 at 7:08 AM
The tea party movement is a movement of the people, and Obama is a populist. That is why they are scared. They know he can be swayed by such things.
BohicaTwentyTwo on September 15, 2009 at 7:12 AM
Beck just dumped it on Fox & Friends. The next tape, today, is from the west coast.
Yoop on September 15, 2009 at 7:16 AM
Did you know Obama did cocaine? Did you know Obama’s momma abandoned him when he was young after his daddy abandoned both of them when he was 2? I don’t mean to air his dirty laundry but surely growing up in an unstable family and doing hard drugs like cocaine makes someone loose, shaky and unstable.
angryed on September 15, 2009 at 7:19 AM
YOU LIE! You sound like the guy who goes off on a rant against Jooos who control the world. But you swear up and down you’re now anti-Semetic because some of your best friends are Jewish.
You are so transparent.
angryed on September 15, 2009 at 7:22 AM
I saw that too. Ready, Aim, Fire.
Do I like seeing these senators squirm. One objection that I have is that there were some surprising GOP absences: McCain, Graham, Coburn? I hope they had good excuses.
BuckeyeSam on September 15, 2009 at 7:23 AM
you’re now = you’re not
angryed on September 15, 2009 at 7:23 AM
Yoop:
I saw that. I also heard him talking about how Americans will pick berries etc. See, this is the kind of thing that bothers me about Beck. He says these companies are treating these people like slaves working them in the fields and all that. My grandparents were Okies during the Depression. They went to California to work in migrant camps after they lost their farm in the Dust Bowl…those people they were worked for were not companies. They were individual and private farmers and ranchers…and that was 1935. There were Mexican migrant workers then. They were not slaves. I am not saying illegal immigration is okay, but the truth is migrant workers have been doing ag work for decades.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:26 AM
ACORN tape from west coast today, as per Beck.
LA or San Fran?
Pelosi, Boxer or Waxman implicated?
THIS COULD BE BIG!
Yoop on September 15, 2009 at 7:27 AM
Obama is a rigid ideologue. He, like many before him, agitated the people to join his cause and will only appease those who agree with his ideology. He has not been deterred at all from his own trajectory or special interest groups. He uses agitprop and crisis-manipulation to stir up the people, but given that he is as elite as they come, his populist rhetoric is just that. Words.
Diane on September 15, 2009 at 7:27 AM
And btw, as soon as they could go back to Oklahoma and leave those camps, they did.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:28 AM
What a low-life scum-sucking whore you are! You have nothing to offer with regard to current events so you become a rumor monger. Creatures like you absolutely disgust me.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 7:28 AM
Buckeye:
What absences? Those Senators voted to cut off funds too.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:29 AM
Last time I checked, over the last few months, we’ve made heroes out of a dead freak pedophile entertainer and a fat slob drunk womanizer dead Senator who has killed a woman with his car, and joked about it. And were going to mention that a guy once got drunk and fell down???…WOW..Stop the presses!
Jeff from WI on September 15, 2009 at 7:29 AM
You don’t think Waxman is a pimp and Pelosi and Boxer are prostitutes, do you?
No wonder there are so many gay men in San Francisco.
Daggett on September 15, 2009 at 7:30 AM
Unless I am completely mistaken, in 1935 those migrant workers were here under a guest worker program. They did not bring their families. They did not enroll their kids in the school system. They did not expect social services.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 7:32 AM
I think ACORN could be associated with almost any Democratic officeholder. That is the whole thing about lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas.
Here in Indiana they are under investigation by the States Attorney General.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:32 AM
Other way around. Waxman is definitely a whore. Pelosi is definitely a pimp.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 7:33 AM
highhopes:
Well yes, the old Bracero program that was done away with in the 70′s to placate the unions. They probably should have kept it. My point is that to assume that the only people who ever used migrant workers are evil bad companies who treat them like slaves is simply untrue. They have been around a long long time.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:34 AM
And btw highhopes, their kids did sometimes go to school here, but then again education costs were not what they are now. Often as not the same local farmers who hired them were the local farmers who paid for the schools.
Terrye on September 15, 2009 at 7:35 AM
The Tea Party was about Americans who love their country,
and was attended by a spectrum of colours,not a crowd of
angry white guys!
If there is any angry,it is the Liberal Party.They have
spent the last sixty years taking over every aspect of
government,institutions,schools,and every other part of
American life!
Soon,it’ll be the Left who will be the real threat,for
Liberals have waited a long time for all the peices to
fall into place!
They now control the White House and all branches of
government,and they are soooooooo close for their sch
emes and dreams to become reality!
The RIGHT are a road-block to this Lefty Utopia!
It’ll be the Left who will eventually have a collective
temper tantrum because they want to implement ‘Their
America’just like Silky has proclaimed the ‘Two Americas”!
So,while the State Runned Media paint the Right as angry,
it is actually the Left if they don’t get there way!!

TMK on September 15, 2009 at 7:44 AM
I agree. I think obama’s past has made him unstable. He grew up in a radically liberal household. His mother’s nickname was “anarchy-anne.”
I assume that your simple mind can’t accept the fact that I’m a conservative who doesn’t like Glenn beck. It must be too much for you to handle. That’s okay, simple-mind dolts like you are usually restricted in their ability to multi-think. I suppose, according to you, I should like everything and everybody that is a, “proud, god-fearing, gun-toting, constitution-upholdin’ right-winger” All or nothing. I get it.
That’s not a rumor. That’s the truth. He did fall out of a window because he got too drunk. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the fact that he’s a guttersnipe demagogue. I was only offering clues as to why he prefers hyperbolic shrieking, rather than reasoned rational thought.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 7:46 AM
Let me take a wild shot in the dark….you guys are birthers? Am I right? *eyes roll into the back of my skull*
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 7:50 AM
Sitting back and cogitating with “reasoned rational thought” wasn’t getting the job done.
Sometimes it takes “hyperbolic shrieking” to get the necessary attention and results.
There are some situations that are so dire that I’ll accept whatever it takes to get the required results.
If you want to go sit in the corner and think “reasonable rational thoughts” while the rest of us get on with the battle please have at it.
Yoop on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 AM
It’s really fascinating how differently people see life and how they interpret events. To look at the people who attended the DC rally and see racist Obamahaters is bizarre! I saw sincere, hardworking Americans that were “willing to make the effort”.
The left hijacked the media and moral rightousness long ago, the President isn’t interested in being ALL of America’s president- just the ones who agree with him- and too damn bad for the left, but we’re sick of it! We’re fighting back to get our voices heard. Deal with it.
anniekc on September 15, 2009 at 8:00 AM
Not to worry, John. Anger on the right is still a small fraction of the anger from the left.
petefrt on September 15, 2009 at 8:02 AM
They will determine and claim that using their tactics against them is just unfair and unacceptable.
Yoop on September 15, 2009 at 8:05 AM
Says you without proof. You also claim to be a “conservative” while feasting on the lives of decent people.
maverick muse on September 15, 2009 at 8:08 AM
Gleen said this morning that some university people looked at the photos and said the count for Saturday was 1.7 million. By the way, we’re not “birthers”. We’re documentarians, soon to be Proletarians.

Gleen=Glenn

kingsjester on September 15, 2009 at 8:10 AM
To me this is more about fear than anything else. Calling people racist, that they are treading down a dark and ugly path and sayings like that are text book responses when people lose the initiative and the argument. The legacy media is setting up strawman arguments on every single tea party event. Things like they are being taken over by Ron Paul kooks and white supremicst groups who are secretly funding them are rampant in more than one blog. Moving the goal posts of what is considered to be inciting violence in political discourse is the final sign that the media has lost the battle and is practicing damage control instead of setting the agenda. Everyone who needed to know what the true number of people in DC was on 9/12 know, and folks they are pi$$ing in their pants at the real number. Obama was intentionally out of town on that date for a reason, and that reason was not a town hall meeting.
Johnnyreb on September 15, 2009 at 8:11 AM
Bullshit. You weren’t offering anything but rumor-mongering. You can’t attack the ideas so you attack the messenger. You really are a scum-sucking whore.
And for the record, I’m not a “birther.” I do think that the filthy liar in the White House is hiding something by refusing to release his birth certificate but the time for such discussion was before the election not now.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 8:15 AM
My my! How quickly they do forget the past 8 yrs. And sorry lefties, you only get to play the race card once, and Senator 0bama played it during the election. It’s been rendered null and void. But yea go ahead and keep screaming that we’re all just a bunch of redneck racists, that’ll help everyone.
4shoes on September 15, 2009 at 8:17 AM
First off, not that it’s important–but if you google, “beck, falling window, drunk”–you get the following. This is what I read a while back. I think it was on his wiki bio also.
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Glenn_Beck_-_Early_life_and_career/id/5407727
And secondly, yes folks ” My name is EMR and I am a conservative and I hate Glenn Beck.” This is the part where you all say, “Hi EMR” Isn’t that the way the program works? I’ve never been to rehab.
Oh, I also believe that obama was born in hawaii, not kenya…..GASP!!! I hope I can still call myself a right-winger.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 8:17 AM
Not to dismiss the potential 700K extra people but I think settling on a figure somewhere around 1M protestors makes the point. Not even at the height of the anti-war movement ACORN, Code Pink, and all the rest of the leftist special were able to generate that kind of a response. The status quo in DC should be very concerned.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 8:19 AM
You can call yourself anything you like but that doesn’t make it true. You are not a right-winger. You skew Beck’s own admissions about his past to smear him since you hate his message. You are beneath contempt.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 8:22 AM
If no one else will tell you, I will.
Nobody here cares if you’re a conservative or whatever. Regardless of your voting patterns, you are clearly an egotistical tool, and while your 1/2 acre-long posts attacking Beck and “birthers” may fuel your self-importance, they are simply taking up space reserved for opinions worth a nickel.
TMK on September 15, 2009 at 8:22 AM
I’m in my 40′s and I spent most of my life being oblivious to racism- the only time I remember it being a big issue was during the O.J. trial. It just seemed people had moved past the black/white thing, and now it’s more than a little pathetic that the media and left wing poor sports are insisting that racism be planted squarely on the table.
It’s actually pretty funny that the left wants to blame Obama’s failure as a president on racism when there are so many other reasons to be disappointed in him!
anniekc on September 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM
Today, Beck will debut what he considers the most explosive ACORN/pimp/hooker/sex slave video yet. Man, the ratings for that will be huge.
Dongemaharu on September 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM
See, I can totally understand why you’re a fan of fat-face. But at least you’re not a birfer–thank god. I give you kudos on that. Look, if it makes you feel any better, I already noted that I appreciate the Van jones and yosi sargeant and whatever will come with the ACORN crap (although I’ll give props to breitbart for that). If beck continues to shine the light on the cockroaches without being so….glenn beck, then I’ll give him his due respect.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM
What could possibly be expected from room-temperature “moderates” than disdain for passion and thus allegiance to the corrupt Washington system we’ve so long become accustomed to? And all because they’re too timid to be to tolerate criticism for… wait for it… bad manners. :lol:
Love him or hate him, Glenn Beck has done more in the last month to expose Washington corruption than any of these self-proclaimed “moderates” ever thought about. What has Frum accomplished with his career that is of any possible use to this country?
Barack Obama has BADLY misunderstood his “mandate”. He was ELECTED to do the job Glenn Beck is doing for us now. He campaigned on a platform of “changing the way Washington does business”, “no more politics as usual”. He was supposed to end the influence of special interests, bring us a post-racial and post-partisan sense of unity, an end to Congressional gridlock. And what we’ve had instead is a doubling down on all of that.
Our Constitution has been twisted and stretched for DECADES like a taffy pull at the county fair. And if morons like Frum think it’s all about party politics… he’s badly mistaken to the point of a whole new low in terms of relevance.
This is about Fascism, the absolute control of government upon American production and thus American citizens. Anyone who can’t work up a little “passion” at the prospect of that, anyone who’d rather sit on the sidelines clucking their tongue about “bad manners”, doesn’t deserve our attention.
Murf76 on September 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM
Sorry. The difference here in America and pre-Hitler led Germany is that Americans don’t seem to want socialism to take over quietly.

Hi EMR! I missed most of the conversation so I don’t know what you said to piss everyone off. Glenn Beck is growing on me. I didn’t used to think much of hem. I don’t believe the 0ne was born in Kenya, he was born in a manger somewhere in the Middle East!! Haha, just kidding about that last part!
4shoes on September 15, 2009 at 8:25 AM
Oh no, Oh no. Please mr. highhopes, don’t kick me out of the party massa! What will I ever do? Youz meanz I ain’t a republican no mo? Well, I guess I’m gonna hafta join the ron paul o somethin. /please–grow up.
EMR on September 15, 2009 at 8:28 AM
No, it’s just that the beckheads are pissed that I hate glenn beck. It’s unimaginable to them that there’s people out there who hate glenn beck. Therefore, I must be a commie or obamanaut or librul. It’s funny really. And IDK, maybe he’ll grow on me–but I doubt it.

Sick’em liberals!
Cybergeezer on September 15, 2009 at 8:37 AM
Allah is a pussy
1. Glenn Beck may be annoying but he is getting stuff done
2. I think Obama was born in Hawaii but his birth certificate lists religion as Muslim (I guess that makes me a Islamer)
3. The Nazis were socialists and, although a distasteful comparison, the similarities are there
4. Incite violence? To save the US? See #1 Allah
Haunches on September 15, 2009 at 8:39 AM
I don’t care who y’are, this guy is awesome. He’s going to overtake Hannity in the ratings game. They should put him on at 10 PM and move Greta to 5 PM. The man has common sense. The information he imparts about Obumble and his associations should have been reported during the campaign. McCain would have won in a landslide. The media is guilty of malpractice and, dare I say it…treason.
Jarhead68 on September 15, 2009 at 8:40 AM
I like Beck, but the “56 Re-Founder” thing has got to go. He also needs to stop talking to the people in D.C. like they give a rat’s ass what he says to them. If they are watching – it is to study him for ways to take him down or use him to take opponents down.
BrideOfRove on September 15, 2009 at 8:45 AM
“Game” on. Give me libety, or give me death.

Yeah, your hatred of Beck is the problem. LOL! You’re just an idiot don’t pretend it is anything more than that.
highhopes on September 15, 2009 at 8:50 AM
I don’t follow Beck. HotAir does that for me.
I don’t follow the derangement that it takes to “hate” Beck, nor do I follow that derangement through the further ignorance required to assume a superiority complex greater than Michael Savage’s.
Savage’s observations are based upon a long lifetime devoted to the study of science and cultures that pays homage to faith that works to preserve the life of our own American heritage.
Michael Savage has the human right to self defense. And I would give my friendship to Savage, a trustworthy spokesman, and eschew the likes of the overly opinionated EMR who would ignorantly assume his right, or be criminally motivated, to be an assassin of a good man’s character.
EMR dug his own hole under the outhouse he made for himself.
maverick muse on September 15, 2009 at 8:53 AM
I think those hippies like to refer to themselves as professional agitators but you hit on a very important point. The crowds on the Mall this weekend were legitimate. Not the hired mobs of the anti-war protests.
That’s what is so awesome. Americans are waking up and taking back the nation. My only fear is that it is too late.

Well, which is it? Am I a genuine idiot pretending to be smart. Or just someone who is genuinely smart, pretending to be an idiot?

As someone who was in downtown LA when the Rodney King riots broke out, I think this writer needs to experience a real mob.

Graham (R-SC)and Mccain were at a townhall (it was an update underneath). Coburn and huthcison would’ve definitely voted, but I’m assuming they were gone too. Burris and Durbin get money from acorn–guaranteed (didn’t do the research).

Glenn is a phenomenon. He has, with the assistance of citizen watchdogs, changed policy and personnel in DC. He has helped to rally over a million people to protest there. He is standing for the country as few are outside of the tea party patriots. He is courageous and sincere. He takes the lies from the left and the snark from the O’Reilly’s and Allahpundits of this world and keeps on going. (I was impressed that O’Reilly, try as he might last night, could not get Carl Rove to make Glenn out to be a kook.)
I pray for Glenn and his family. And I pray that there are other patriots who will pick up the banner and I pray that there are at least 56 men in DC who will do the right thing.

AP, gets it right…
Then again…?

I have just become a fan of Glen Beck! His analysis is right on!

“EMR” is not to be confused with “RMR”. Just so we are clear.

LV, do you follow online, organizer, Matt Kibbe…?

FIFY
But seriously people, think about this, who here really cares what the lamestream media says about anything? Haven’t you seen the numbers? Nobody watches or reads them anymore.
Newsflash: They are history!
Now, I’ll grant you it is convenient for me that the old media reprints the donks bullet points. But, most of that is just sucking up to the ‘Won’.

EMR,
All of your ‘statements’ and pandering are a mask. You violated the eleventh commandment. You’re dead to me.
NEVER AGAIN!

Much speculation on the 4th tape. My guess: an ACORN worker actually soliciting Giles.
The (apparently recent) timeline suggests no smoking gun of Obama, Pelosi, Boxer, et al.
Still will be bad news for those mentioned.

Nope. I mostly “graze” online – a little here, a little there. Used to hang out at LGF until Charles started banning some of his biggest supporters. Followed Ed at CQ until he came over here. I’d drop by Protein Wisdom every now and again (still can’t figure out why Jeff’s stopped posting regularly).
My regular daily reads are here, Michelle, Instapundit, and Althouse, plus a family blog a friend has.
I went to the first Tea Party in February after I heard about it on local radio. Ditto the April 15 one. I checked out the local Tea Party organization, but they’re a little too religious for me (I joke that I may be the only person in the area who’d have a “Rush is Right” bumper sticker next to a P-FLAG one). I’m not much of a joiner, anyway. I’ll show up and add my voice but I’m not too big on groups.

A conservative you are not, we don’t HATE people we don’t know, that is a very leftist word along with name calling, we don’t condemn people for past mistakes, try to make people that are truly patriotic fit into your pea brain idea of what people are supposed to be. To me you sound like an “Elitist”, definitely not a conservative.::))

Really? Well, I don’t know how I’ll find the will to live…now. *sobbing uncontrollably*

I don’t hate the personal glenn beck because I don’t know who that guy is. But I do hate the professional glenn beck because I’ve seen his work–and it sucks.
If you don’t believe me, imagine for a moment that you’re arguing with a liberal. And all of a sudden, the librul mentions that he saw something on keith olberdouche—wouldn’t your eyes gravitate to the back of your head. Of course, because you wouldn’t take that jackass’s agitprop seriously. Well, glenn beck is the conservative olberdouche, or ed shultz, or any number of those lefty shows.

Allahpundit, it is hight time for Michelle to FIRE your ass.
nelsonknows on September 15, 2009 at 11:10 AM
So you did! Awesome, thank you.
What a hag.
MoDo and E.J. Dionne and whoever else is saying that the attitude towards Obama is racially motivated should consider that it doesn’t explain why many of us feel a loathing as great or even greater for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Put that in your victim politics pipe and smoke it!
evergreen on September 15, 2009 at 11:13 AM
Glenn Beck and the American People have accomplished more in 6 months than the ENTIRE GOP has accomplished in 10 years and RINO scumbags are pissed because YOU ARE FINISHED.
Allahpundit, why don’t you go over to MSNBC where you belong, oh I forgot, you are too gutless to show your face like the rest of us so continue to post your tripe while you hide behind Megan McCain’s fat ass. Cry us a freakin’ river Allahpundit.
