Msnbc is really going after Beck's rhetoric! And they should. |

Because there is no reason in HELL why he can threaten Pivens, tell his listeners to shoot us in the head, that Karl Marx is our George Washington.
It's BULLSHIT. Beck is a dangerous loon.
Eric Boehlert (Media Matters) just called it the Mafia Media. Perfect!
On edit - we don't know the whole story of what happened with Keith, but IF Keith had his wings clipped because he would say what needed to be said - and now he is gone - I would imagine that everyone at Msnbc is disgusted because Keith never ever said anything even close to stir up emotions as Beck does on a constant basis.

1. Yes, he lost his marbles |
|
and there are no adults in the room. The fact that he is even on the air and people take him seriously is the most bizarre thing I've ever witnessed.

3. I hate to say it, but I don't believe he's crazy. He's saying what he's encouraged to say. |

No way he's going to stop. His side just won the House of Representatives with his talk, so this is all good from that side.
MSNBC threw out Beck's only real critic on their network and won't allow anything but bleating about it. They have no incredibility.
Not only that, Keith's dismissal is seen as vindication of Beck, et al, in the eyes of the conservatives. They love this.
It's back to grassroots again and getting in the face of these people.
We'd better be ready.

8. I totally agree with you. But can you imagine how tweety, Ed, Rachel are all feeling? |
|
Assuming that Keith's outspoken manner had something to do with his departure, how are they suppose to feel when Beck is carrying on like a lunatic? The have to be pissed - even more pissed than we are.
It is so true, the message the msnbc/comcast sent was Liberal = bad. Right Wing Wacko = good. The rw is celebrating Keith's departure.

7. I honestly think Glenn Beck has Adolph Hitler complex |
|
Being a Peace Monger I've spent many years researching the historical record on human warfare and I assure you this guy has all the signs. Yes, Glenn Beck is dangerous, and no he is not a loon.

9. I also think he is an anti-semite. The majority of the people he goes after are Jewish - maybe that |

is all part of the Adolf Hitler complex?
