Posted on January 22, 2011 at 1:28amthanks Glen, a bit of topic have any of you read the book “And not a shot was fired’?? By Jan Kozak, historical fact. Absolutely spot on what Glenn Beck has been saying for years. People read this !!! it is FACT used by many medias in the 50-60“ to warn the West about the ”bloodless” grinding down of the West by regulations, Unions, glorious promises they won’t keep and on and on .This is happening today as soon as they are on top the will throw everyone under the bus!!! Oberman is a great example just not liberal enough!!

Posted on January 22, 2011 at 2:39amAnytime a major source of disinformation and willfull incrimination of others can be removed from a bully pulpit the better off relations between the “entirety of the people” can be restablished. At this point it’s a baby step in the right direction (pun intended) but a win none the less. The fact that the slot (at whatever time) is being filled with an unknown of dubious political asuasion vs a known commentator could be considered a win if the former conducts himself in a professional manner. I‘m not for censorship but KO’s show among others in the MSLSD line up have crossed and left behind the civility lone ago. The FOX line up stays within tasteful and respectful bounds far more often than any of the MSM corporations/conglomerates of late. At least FOX tries to deal with imporatnt issues each and every day, giving accurate reporting and some well thought out reasoned opinion (along with it) something which the MSM and the Left abandoned 8-12 years ago….

I don’t wish him anything bad but I do wish him a happier heart. I find that Fox makes me think and learn. I have read more books and looked for different views and for that I thank Fox.

The ratings would have been good, for a change.

Posted on January 22, 2011 at 6:31amKeith Olberman wrote his on obituary as a msnbc news commentator. He was devoted to the goal of destroying conservative news commentators like Glenn Beck. His demise was predicted months ago and I’m glad to say, “ Goodbye Olbermann ”.His $14 million dollar severance pay from msnbc should tide him over until he can find another job with another ultra-liberal network like Oprah’s OWN.

There is a date on this video. It’s on the host site which is youtube. If you’ll click on the youtube logo on the bottom right hand corner of the video (opposite the play button) it‘ll bring up a separate window with the same video on youtube’s own site. At the bottom of the video (right below the “like” and “add to” buttons) you’ll notice it was posted on NOVEMBER 23.
Here‘s a link in case you don’t feel like pushing the button:

And since time travel isn’t possible you can then see, very obviously, that this was posted on youtube in November.

I watched some show where Fox-Piven was being interviewed about Glenn Beck saying horrible things about her. The most bizarre thing was the tapes of her that Glenn used to prove his point were the same ones she used to defend herself!!! And all the ******** on the panel were so sympathetic to her being accused of these things , when they just proved she said them!!! And we are the crazy , stupid people?WOW!!!!
