I just heard Alan Colmes on his radio show and he said Limbaugh and Beck don't actually believe what they say. That each tries to outdo the other in order to increase their ratings. Do you agree?

Yes
No
I don't know
 
I can see this poll falling pretty much along party lines.
 
Well I know no one can seriously believe in Gold line or cry the way Beck does.
 
Well if they don't believe what they say... they got me fooled.

Cue the comments about "being a stupid redneck from Alabama" or "Beck and Limbaugh are pure evil" in 3, 2, 1...

Both present documented evidence of everything they present...as of yet no one can refute the evidence presented, all that is witnessed is the usual MO that comes from the left, personal ad hominem subjective attacks in an attempt to deflect away from the evidence presented. Its a most difficult thing to accuse someone of lying when they document everything. Its amazing what Fear does to people. Fox news has been under attack from the time it was conceived as an alternate to the usual spin machine that comes from the main stream media who think themselves to be manipulators par excellent. But of course the 1st amendment only applies to the left, when a different point of view is injected.....its time to have BIG BROTHER silence that opinion.

How many left wing nut talking heads has FOX personally put out to pasture? Dan (Mr. National Guard Gate) Rather, Larry King, once at the top of the ratings for an opinionated news show, now makes a living by talking to antiquated Hollywood heads. And the latest to bite the big one......Mr. Keith (Beck don't know **** about broadcast news) Olbermann. And my favorite, The Communist News Network (CNN) is playing second fiddle to Murdoch. Funny as Hell, its no wonder there is so much grinding and gnashing of teeth, its like presenting a mirror to a vampire anytime FOX is mentioned to a liberal, the hissing can break glass. But, then again, I suppose THE TRUTH is somewhat like driving a wooden stake through the heart of the propaganda machine.

They obviously have some sortof personality complex. I'm sure they would never admit to not believing hwat they say, even to themselves. But they probably 'play the game' with the audience the entire time.

Even if there was no dispute over the "facts" and "evidence" thats not the question. The question is do they believe what they say, which can apply to opinions as well as facts and evidence. Opinions are by definition not factual so the entire question of this thread flew right over you. Also Fox, having more viewers than anyone else, is main stream by definition.

Now calm down you aren't doing anything to fight the idea of the "crazy right winger" by foaming at the mouth

Since you have demostated you have no concept of what the 1st amendment is and you've not answered the question. ... I really couldn't care less whether you think they document what they present. That's not the question be asked. :roll:
 
This is my new favorite O'Reilly meme:

I like O'Reilly, but damn, that was not his brightest moment.

Beck and Limbaugh are pure evil.

Always looking to make your day complete Hugh.

By the way...who the hell knows if it is true. Probably not Colmes.
 
I don't know. I don't lose sleep over it. Unlike some here....

WOW!! I love listening to the wacky conservative callers he gets.
As for Limbaugh, I listened to him in the mid '90s when he was actually entertaining. He has gotten shrill since then.
 
Both men are classic True Believers. Limbaugh is motivated mostly by his desire to keep as much of his wealth as is humanly possible. He rightfully sees the Republican Party as the party of the wealthy and advocates tirelessly on their behalf because they advocate tirelessly on his behalf. Its a perfect relationship. Beck is simply crazy. I have no doubt he believes all he says and holds back on even more of it which would cause even some of his fellow True Believers to scratch their heads in wonder if they could ever truly explore the depths of his delusions.
 
They say what they say... it doesn't really matter to me if they believe it or not. Doesn't make their commentary any less evil, paranoid, hateful, or stupid.
 
Don't know about PB's obsession, Beck, but Rush is for real.
 
Does it matter? A lot of people obviously believe what they say, even if they don't.

Personally, I don't think either of them does - I think they probably intend to be shock jocks, only the shock is people buy what is supposed to be offensive.
