Keith Olberman at Daily Kos: Send Me Everything You Can Find About Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck, Fox News Rising Star: "I'm A Rodeo Clown"

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/30/business/media/30beck.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss

...he says he is an entertainer. “I’m a rodeo clown,” he said in an interview, adding with a coy smile, “It takes great skill.”

And like a rodeo clown, Mr. Beck incites critics to attack by dancing in front of them.

The conservative writer David Frum said Mr. Beck’s success “is a product of the collapse of conservatism as an organized political force, and the rise of conservatism as an alienated cultural sensibility.”

“It’s a show for people who feel they belong to an embattled minority that is disenfranchised and cut off,” he said.

Born in Mount Vernon, Wash., in 1964, Mr. Beck has long been a performer. His roots are in comedy — he spent years as a morning radio disc jockey — and continues to perform comedy on stages across the country.

He added later: “I say on the air all time, ‘if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.’ ”
 
It would be sweet if they just both shut the hell up.
 
Relatively speaking, Olbermann was a good guy during the Bush administration, speaking out against government tyranny, and Beck was a communist stooge. Now things are suddenly reversed - Olbermann is a fascist and Beck is a freedom fighter. WTF?!

Rational people unaccustomed to the political circus find themselves in disbelief every 4 / 8 / 12 years when the diapers of government power are renewed...
 
Isn't it exciting when media personalities have a dick measuring contest on television and now the internet and its should-have-been aborted fetus Twitter?
 
This is delicious! They want to "kill the messenger."



So, an avowed Communist and Truther is exposed and shown to the door, and instead dignified silence on the matter, the Leftists are coming unglued.

And I thought that this was going to be a dull day!

What do you expect from the national socialists? When you attack one of their own, prepare to get a shakedown, mafia style for doing it.

Olberman is nothing more then a federal government, fascist pawn doing their bidding.

You can hear that slurping sound with the head-bob right?

Olberman has and always will be a joke. His hatred and anger are all he has.

You forgot to call him a nazi.
 
you mean anarchist?

Not all communists are anarchists; not all anarchists are communists, though most are. Regardless, the traditional definition of communism has involved the elimination of money, markets, and the state, and even Leninists who assert that the USSR and similar states were "socialist" in nature don't claim that it was "communist." That's merely rightist abuse of terminology.
 
You forgot to call him a nazi.

He is nothing short of that.

You people forget, that the Nazis had an idealogy behind their movement. They were more then just Jew killers. :thumbs:
 
And yet, I'm almost certain that you can't accurately identify that ideology. More importantly, the Nazi comparison is obviously disingenuous because the mention of that political movement is intended to evoke thoughts of their domestic repression, persecution and slaughter of racial and ethnic minorities and political opponents, and military campaign throughout Europe. Their preferred economic policies are as irrelevant to that agenda as Hitler's mustache is, so their adoption of them would no more discredit them than Hitler would discredit mustache-wearing.
 
It might be extremely funny if he makes a pro/con list of the most interesting things.
 
Olbermann is an idiot. I hate when he hosts NBC Sunday Night Football Countdown.
 
So beck is above criticism now?
So that's the way you really see it? I doubt it, I think you know exactly what this is. It's an attempt to destroy another person's career, reputation, life, etc..... You're shameless.

No, that would be Beck.
