Glenn Beck vs. Fox News: 'Tension' Between Beck & Network
If Beck goes it is a major step back from the brink. Some of his followers actually think he is a teacher because of the chalk boards.
Teh stupid, it burns.

2. I'm surprised that Fox News would be upset at Beck
He's one of their prime stars and lots of people- for some reason(s) that I will NEVER understand- listen to him. Maybe, his ego is starting to get too big for even Fox News to handle? :shrug:

8. ... what the country is going through ... is, ... what I went through with my alcoholism,”
The complete quote: “I think what the country is going through right now is, in a way, what I went through with my alcoholism,” he told me.

No, it's not. You asshole.

11. Was just reading the NYT piece...

“He has a spiritual connection to us; you can hear his heart speaking,” Susan Trevethan, a psychiatric nurse from Milford, Conn., told me at the “Restoring Honor” rally. “I believe he has been divinely guided to be here in this place,” she said. “He is doing the research. He is teaching us.”

Beck can be difficult to get to. He is acutely conscious of his personal safety. He feels targeted. Security guards trail him on the street. He wears bulletproof vests at public events. He wanted to build a six-foot barrier around his estate in New Canaan, Conn., running him afoul of local zoning ordinances. The barrier would not stop those who would do him harm, Beck’s lawyer told New Canaan’s zoning commission, but it would slow them down. “It will stop anything people send into the property, whether photographs or bullets,” the lawyer said, according to The New Canaan Advertiser.
