2. If you surf past, not even waiting a half minute to watch, it still hurts
It is PAINFUL viewing. He's a dunce. Ten seconds, and you're muttering "Shut the fuck up, asshole" and lunging for the remote!

3. I vowed not to watch it
Maybe a lot of others did, too. Seems like a bad decison by CNN. I don't think people want his brand of hate hyperbole. Interesting that there's no buzz.

7. Yeah, and, by the way, my kid loves Bob Saget!
And I can't stand watching him (but, then, she's 9)!

5. an insult
We owe idiots everywhere a profound apology for smearing them by association with Glenn Beck. But, for that matter, we'd owe sub-protozoan slime-suckers an apology if we tarred them with the GlennBeck brush, too. Gosh, is there an epithet low enough to describe him without giving offense to the rightful owner of the epithet?

6. I am embarrassed for him ...
I have surfed through when his show is on, and it was like watch a crash in slow motion. Just couldn't look away.

Cheers

8. They need to get some commedians
on board. We'd get some information in the process. When the public is looking for information they turn to the commedians in the present "configuration". Backwashers are still using MSMBC, CNN, & FOX, but not that many regular folks are believing this is information anymore.

9. someone posted a thread that his ratings, they were lower then
Dennis Millers horrible show, i think he's averaging around 70,000 a night, but that figure may be generous.
