Beck announces S. E. Cupp as new radio show host

It also doesn't hurt that Glenn, Pat and Stu can be hilarious.
It's nice to see SE staying busy. Glenn made a good choice but I have to wonder if she'll now become a target for Media Matters, Huffpo etc.

Of course she will. I have to wonder if Glenn is thinking about adding even more people to his company for radio shows. I know he's hired several people for TheBlaze and getting ready to hire even more. The former CEO of HuffPo is the president of TheBlaze. That one made me laugh out loud. :mrgreen:

Actually I don't pay to listen to Glenn. I can hear him for free on my local radio station. I'm listening to him right now! And he's only on the radio for 3 hours a day, not 6.

I enjoy listening to conservative talk radio as others might enjoy a certain style of music or television show. To each his/her own. :)

Yea, he's on radio for three but if you include his paid stuff and tv it's 6 hours of Glenn a day. That's what I was referring to. Anyone that can't get enough Beck from three hours of radio and an hour of tv daily has an imbalance. ****, if I listened to pundits of any stripe and variety for six hours a day I'd be pretty moody the next day. They all regurgitate the same crap over and over. How many times do you have to hear Glenn Beck talk about socialists and communists taking over before you manage to get the over arching theme of his show - scare the **** out of people.

No, if you include TV it's 4 hours a day. The other two hours aren't Glenn, just people who work for his company. I rarely watch the TV show. I prefer the radio show since it's really funny and it's not just Glenn adding his input. You might think listening to someone for 3 hours on the radio is insane, but I think listening to someone scream into a microphone and calingl it "music" is insane. Again, to each his/her own. :2wave:

And the two people I'm sure parrot his talking points very nicely. Might as well be the same thing imo.

It's 3 other people, actually. Stu and Pat talk a lot about sports and just make fun of Glenn. I don't listen to them much. S.E. is a Republican (Glenn is not), so she'll have a slightly different view on things.

Nothing wrong with listening to other people's opinions. :)
 
How does an atheist argue far-right social positions? Or does she just avoid those?

I know?! Can you believe those bigoted hateful xenophobic extremist fundamentalist crazies? They're listening to people who aren't exactly like them. Who the **** do they think they are, acting in ways other than Hazlnuts stereotype deems them to be. This is an outrage! I'm outraged I tell you!

Just wondering if the Beckies know he's a Mormon (and a moron) and four-eyes RILF is an atheist.

I haven't been keeping up with Beck that much but I do recall he said he would be hiring at least 40 more people this year.
Man, what an evil dude.:mrgreen:

Abortion - Its completely plausible and realistic, even if you don't agree with it, for a person to believe that life begins at the moment that an embryeo is created without being Christian. It doesn't require religion to believe viability outside the womb is needed to declare it a person, nor does it require religion to believe that a human at its most early stages is still a person. Once you're at that point, it can easily be a matter state protecting the interest of the child. Nothing about that argument at all requires one to be religious.

Gay Marriage - Once again, an argument based around the notion of societal tradition and acceptability does not have to be rooted in religious beliefs. Additionally, arguments concerning government interest with regards to marriage and child units don't have to be religious in nature.

Illegal Immigration - The belief that the countries laws are meant to be followed and should be enforced with regards to immigration doesn't require one to be religous.

Obscinity laws - The belief that society should uphold a basic level of morality to maintain an orderly and upstanding civilization again isn't relegated to religion. Unless you're suggesting morality can ONLY come from religion.

That's just a couple of the more commonly pointed to "social" issues of conservatism, none of which we know if she even believes in anyways and contrary to what hyper partisan liberals who like to use stereotypes and ingorant arguments routinely may try to present, one can be a conservative without necessarily walking the stereotypical policy line with eveyr solitary issue.

A non-viable fetus outside the womb is dead.

All societal traditions concerning are rooted in biblical traditions. When the pro-Prop 8's talked about 'traditional' marriage they were talking about biblical marriage minus polygamy.

Didn't realize that was a social issue.

Without the puritian beliefs on lust and sexuality,the F-word loses it's 'vulgarity'. Yes, on the issue of obscenity, we get that sense of morality from our puritan genes. If sex was not 'bad' then M-Fer and C-Sucker wouldn't be vulgar.

FAIL to the 4th power. Impressive.

Your point? Doesn't change the fact that its still very possible to believe that despite that fact its still a human child and thus still deserves state protection without it being rooted anywhere in religion.

Being an athiest doesn't mean one has to ignore anything that came about DUE to religion. Are athiests forbidden from enjoying any art work commissioned by the church, use any science that came from church sponsored scientists, or reject reading since the spread of the printed bible could be argued as aided literacy? Whether or not societal traditions came about due to being rooted in biblical traditions, one can believe that those societal traditions have transcended simple religious traditions into actual cultural ones. For a more simple explanation, its perfectly allowable for one to be a athiest and yet to celebrate Christmas as it has became a traditional form of American holiday within the culture despite it being rooted in religious practices.

news flash for you, you're not the arbiter of what athiests must think. Its funny, you're like the Fundy version of your side.

Didn't realize that was a social issue.

Immigration is most assuredly tied to social conservatism, amongst other pillars as well.

Palin is easy on the eyes, but hard on the ears and intellect....
this gal is probably a future contender for the WH...based on looks alone, since that matters so much.

Yep, those republicans sure are gullible. Could just imagine them electing a good looking, smooth talker with zero experience to the White House. Wouldn't that be a hoot???!!!

A bundle of cells is not a child. A child is a living breathing being, not the formation of that being.

So, no, without religion, you're left with science and you're pretty much screwed.

Oh, so they can pick and choose what they want.... great.

My point - being an atheist means you don't have any skin in the religious aspect that dominates ALL conservative social positions -- 'Because God Said.'

Yeah, right... laugh it up as you fail making the same bad argument twice. I was labeling your fail to the fourth power impressive. I've never seen that before. And now you've done it twice. Super-impressive.

Why would you assume she will have anything to say about social issues? And what is far right? Sharia?
