Glenn Beck scores Top Cable Rating! 3,000,000 viewers!, page 16

Monday was a holiday and viewership almost always declines over holiday weekends. For the sake of comparison, O'Reilly and Hannity were also off about 1 million viewers that night.

By contrast, Beck averaged just a little under 2.8 million viewers last week, which puts him at roughly the same level with Sean Hannity for #2 in the cable news ratings for any network. I haven't checked the previous averages just to be sure, but I think that would represent about a 10-15% increase over Beck's pre-boycott ratings.

OK, I'll buy that. Since you like statistics so much, answer me this then.

Obama beat McCain 53% to 46%.

Of the 58,343,671 who voted AGAINST Obama a 3 Million viewership represents roughly less than one-half of 1 percent. Seems paltry by comparison. No?

I've never argued otherwise. I'm merely pointing out that the numbers from Monday are unusually low for a reason.

That said, its not an apples-to-apples comparison. The number of viewers for cable news at any given moment is probably no more than 5 million people. Its in that context that the success or failure of these shows must be judged, not the overall population.

So do you support him when he states that the president is a racist?

First off, my apoligies for calling you a "tool". I think it was just a poor choice of words on my part.

Now, as far as Obama being racist... I agree that he is racist simply because of what he says. Go to 5:30 and watch that portion of this clip of Glenn Beck...






And here's a little bit of Obama's book "Dreams of my Father" with his own audio and clips from Obama, Jeremiah Wright, etc.... Has racism all over it.







Point is, Beck made his comment on Obama being racist because of another comment Obama made in the past. One in which he was asked what his views/policies were. He answered back by stateing "if you want to know where I stand on certain issues, just look at the people I surround myself with". Well Beck did some research on that basis. He surrounds himself with self-proclaimed communists and black radicals with deep hatred for white people (Van Jones, Jeremiah Wright, Obama's father, etc.) This is where the basis of Glenn Beck's comment came from about Obama being racist towards white people. Even at the age of 13 or 14 he denounced the race of his mother. All of this above stuff would be considered if a white president said all of this about black people. It's a double standard in America and Glenn Beck was tired of playing the "politically correct" white guy and called a black man "racist" for a change.
