That's actually a great idea. Me? I vote TOOL!

He didn't literally cry when Bush took just about every right to freedom away from us. He was in love with the guy and called anyone who thought otherwise an unpatriotic terrorist lover (in so many words).

Now that there is a democratic president he's suddenly worried about his freedom and the downfall of America? Hellooooo? It's been on the fast track to crapdom since Bush took office and he didn't notice it then? Nope. Because he's a tool for the right.

If the next prez is a republican then he will suddenly take a sigh of relief and praise God that this country is being put back on the right track. He'll completely ignore if that president starts throwing dissidents in jail without trial and decrying anyone who questions his motives.

Why? because he's a tool.

When Bush was president he went off on liberals saying they were nothing but a bunch of negative nelly's and dooms dayers and that it was bringing this country down. He said being positive was the only way to go.

Now guess who's the negative nelly and dooms dayer criticizing those who are positive about the future the THINK Obama is going to bring them (notice the emphasis on "think". I strongly disagree with those people).

Glenn Beck is actually just a shining example of what is wrong with A LOT of people in this country. They are only comfortable when someone from their side is in office and are blind to the atrocities they commit. They only care about their freedom when "the enemy" is in office.

Sorry about the rant, I guess I've been holding that in!!

In any case, yeah, I think you have a great idea and we should definitely try that.

Why would you think covering the story would have any change on his tool status? Like you said, he has covered a lot of topics. I don't really see how this one would move him one way or the other.

Personally, I am with Nunya 100% on this one.

So I guess it's now onto whether Olbermann is a tool or not?

Yes. And if I may add.......

He's an hysterical little twit.

I can't even stand to look at his cherub little face anymore. The day he found out about the administration printing money, I thought he was going to have a heart attack right there on TV. His face turned crimson; you could almost see his heart racing through his shirt.

That was the last time I watched him.

As far as the "tool" question. I'm afraid that ship has already sailed.

I never said that it would change his tool status. If this was a "blacklisted" story as many CTers seemed to think it was then it would make sense that Beck wouldnt touch it while it was still a fresh, breaking story. It is all a matter of opinion I suppose. I could say the same thing about your post. Your post was not going to change anyones opinion and added no facts but you still made it. The same concept stands behind mine, not trying to change the world or opinions really, just bsing like most people here on a slow night.

You are so wrong in everything you said.

I am a long time listener of Beck (do not like the TV show much).

I remember a thread a month or so ago. No one could list one good reason why Beck is hated.

The closest thing they came to is that he works for Fox

That is your opinion. I don't care if you like Beck or not and I'm not going to try to convince you not to like him.

But my opinion is that he is opportunistic and only bashes dooms dayers when they are against him and preaches positivism when it makes someone look bad for having a negative view on something he agrees with.

As of late, he is making quite a buck on telling everyone how should be afraid of our government but didn't say a word while Bush was also taking our rights away.

I agree with most of what he is saying as of late, but it's his motives and hypocrisy that gets me riled. I can't support someone like that.

Once again, you are wrong. He has been preaching the same thing for YEARS. He railed against Bush time and time again.

I know. I have listened to him for ages.

He is not an investigative journalist. He is an entertainer. He even tells you to research your own crap and to not take his word for it.

Also, he does not pay attention too well (ADD and all) and does not catch everything
