So do you think Fox news is about to dump Glenn Beck because he is hitting too close to home in exposing the planets power games, or are they ready to fire him because he is just becoming too crazy and antagonistic, or is it ultimately because his ratings are going down?

I watched him awhile back, and he so goddamn melodramatic! ( if the GD word is offensive sky, you being a mod, let me know )
He tries to use theatrics in his broadcast, and it gets more comical as the show progresses.....
Remember when Clinton said that America is loosing the information war?

Pulled commercial support because the wonderfully tolerant liberals have campaigned and threatened to boycott adverizers and silence any contrary opinions, in their mercy.
Such is the grand liberal free speech imperitive, free for them to destroy all opposition.

Wait a second, I thought that this was the free market that people like you love and promote.....i have the ability to purchase or not purchase what i want, in fact in capitalism, that is my only vote.....and if I dont want to buy a product because of who they support with advertising, that is my right as an American consumer.
Are you telling me I dont have the right to boycott items, or taht boycotting is some sort of leftist agenda? Maybe you just hate freedom.

Im not sure, but I think you took that out of context. I think the poster was suggesting that since the ties between commodities ( coco cola, butter, what ever ), are also tied to liberal organizations, and because those liberal organizations threatened to drop these sources, they would prefer to severe ties with Beck instead. Especially if becks show is losing ratings, meaning less audience to view coca cola commercials and so on? Does that make sense?

Liberals need to redefine reality and demonize all opposition.

Fellow conservatives are also disowning him. As William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and a regular Fox News commentator, writes, “When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. He’s marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s.edit on 9-3-2011 by Skyfloating because: (no reason given)

I enjoy mature discussion and should one present itself on this topic, I'll be happy to join in, but any discussion starts with each side finding common ground and real life and at this point I can find none. Straw men and shifting definitions I leave to those that are best at it. This infantilism and nihlism can only be settled in blood, mine or theirs, I dont really care.

War has settled far more conflicts than concessions and compromise, which themselves simply lead to war but create more chaos the longer it takes.
I beleive in settling things one way or anothe, your'e willing to get someone else to do it for you by unilateral decree, to you that makes me a hypocrite? At least I'm willing to git on with it, you want to find someone to do it for you while you hide with binky and then cheat them outta their due with shifting definitions.
I know more about you than you about me fer sure

No, that doesnt make sense. That is the definition, and the point, of a boycott. It is not "sliencing freedom of speech".
