This whole situation is quite ridiculous.........people are forgetting what this country is suppost to support and stand for........its funny how much of a lack of concern there is for free speech when obama is involved. The man is entitled to free speech and others are trying to ruin him, its quite pathetic.

Glenn beck speaks the truth as much as the schizophrenic on the corner. He now says anything to get ratings and create controversy. This time, according to whatever organization is going after him, he went too far. If you, or he, can't handle when people call you out on what you say maybe you shouldn't be saying it. He is a douchebag. I used to like what he had to say when he way still on CNN, but since he's been on fox he tries way too hard to get attention. I don't care what he talks about, im not listening.

LizardKing, you're a really cool guy and I respect the things that you say. In this particular instance, I disagree. We do have freedom of speech in this great country, but what you say is gonna have it's consequences and you're gonna have to live with that, and so will I and so will Glen Beck.

If you say the wrong thing at the gym or at a bar, you might get your ass kicked. If you say the wrong thing to your boss, you might get fired. And if you say the wrong thing to your customers/clients, you may lose business. That's just how it goes. The good news, is that you're probably not gonna be thrown in jail or executed because you said the wrong thing.

In regard to Glenn Beck's comment: What he said isn't true. To say that President Obama is racist against white people would mean that he's racist against half of his family tree and that's just ridiculous. He would have to be 25% racist against his own daughters. Talk like that serves no purpose and it divides our country when we should be trying to Unite our Country.

Think about this. You're at your first month or 2 of a new job. And some other dude is spreading rumors around the site that your a pedophile/rapist. Would you not want to kick that guy's ass?

Personally, I think there should be some law that permits you to kick that guy's ass. I don't like it when people present lies as facts. Also, I'm not crazy about people presenting opinions as facts either. You're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own fact.

Cambridge Police Officer James Crowley: Obama 'Way Off Base' - wbztv.com

Read the story...the fact is Professor Gates just happened to be a friend of Obama, and he was

arrested for disorderly conduct after Officer Crowley had completed his investigation. As to

Glenn Beck referring to Obama as a racist...maybe a little much, but he did act bias in the fact

that he basically called an entire police department stupid for doing their job. Would he have made these remarks if

Professor Gates was not a friend....doubt it!!

they DIDNT do their job, they baited an obviously egotistical professor into stepping out in public for the express excuse of arresting him...for "disturbing the [public!] peace". they abused their authority, as police often do, and Obama's great failing here was choosing to defend his rude egomaniacal friend while declining to speak out against far more egregious police brutality during his campaign.

You know, I really couldnt care less what happens to Glenn Beck, or any of the other....well, what do you really call a person whose job it is to stir up a bunch of shit and piss people off who disagree with "your" political point of view or leaning...just to make a "name" for themselves, or to get ratings=for money/power? Whatever you call em....I just dont care. These people are really good at making the general public think they "care" about "issues" and they feel like its their "duty" to "inform the public": Oh give me a fucking break. All they are doing is pushing their own agenda forward and trying to cash in on whatever fucked up thing (read:flavor of the month) they can get people pissed off about and so engender support...be it financial, political or just plain old vanity.

Sooner or later we are going to stop buying in to the pablum we are being spoon fed by the media and the political parties. Or we wont.

Dude, I realize cops abuse their power, and shit like that...but at the same time, that's the way

it is. If you pop off at the mouth at a cop...you could end up in jail. How was this professor

"baited?"

they'd already established that Prof Gates was in his own home, and was clearly irate. instead of simply leaving, the arresting officer asked him to step outside the home to continue speaking...when outside, Gates continued speaking as he did within, only this tme he had given the pretext for a charge of "disturbing the peace"...literally, the proposition that Gates anger was "disturbing" the officers and neighbors that had gathered outside.

I have no sympathy for the idea that cops or government officials are superior humans to the rest of us, and i have only disgust for Tyranny. America has gotten very far from her roots in many ways, obeisance to armed authority being one of them. If any government agency wants to behave essentially like an armed gang abusing Americans, they need to be dealt with as such.

I did not know he was asked to step off his property. That does change things...I still cannot see

how the Prez putting in his 2 cents is appropriate...Oh well, it's all about He said, she said, and

the media eats that crap up!!

 

[lunacy(SSB)]

I thought I was the only one on here that watches Fox News...............Oreilly seems hes backed down a little over the Beck issue. Every now and then he takes the left's side i gues just to appease them so he doesnt get fired....now I see Why Rush never opened a tv show on Fox news

 

[lunacy(SSB)]

Beck and Hannity have single handedly covered the Acorn scandals enough to bring attention to the organizations corrupt use of our tax dollars even after the other major networks refuse to cover it...................and yes once again another whacked out organization that our great president has ties to.........if this was Bush, hewould have already been lynched on the front lawn......Im tired of the double standards.

 

[dennis]

Get ready for many more double standards....

 

[TrainHard]

I too agree we need to support Glenn Beck, he is the only one in the News Media actually standing up against Big Goverment, He is the only person standing up for Americans and the rights of citizens. I've watched Glenn for 2 years now. He is right Goverment needs to back off, as we can see from Goverments track record, Glenn said it right, doesn't matter if your a Dem or Rep, be here for the People of America. However, from what everyone has seen, Washington is trying to silence Beck because he is the only one calling washington out, making them look really bad, so I enjoy watching a corrupt org, back step when they are doing things wrong. On another note, how long did it take the main stream media and washington to look at Acorn.

 

[dennis]

It's not just Beck that is speaking out..the entire fox network is and of course they are under fire for it.

 

[Desibaba]

This a bit off note but if Obama was racist then that means he is racist towards his own mother and half of his family considering the fact that while Obama looks like a typical black but he is half white. Could be true though.

 

[Desibaba]

Although one thing i must say from personal experiences is that YES its a free country and we have freedom of speech you do need to weigh out what you are saying because your words can have very severe consequences on your job, personal friendships and family. When i was in my teenage years i was a big troublemaker and i always said things without giving a shit about it but i realized even though i might say things which i didnt really mean and i said them because i was pissed off or whatever those words did come back to haunt me later on.

At that point my dad taught me that whenever you are upset and about to say something stop for a second and think if the words you are about to throw out might negatively affect you later on. So yes its human nature to say things even though we might not really mean it and it would be completely protected by the first amendment but those words can have consequences later on such as losing your job, friends or whether if people think of you as a scumbag.
