All right, I'll bite. Anyone who has ever listened to Glenn Beck knows he always complains about the Hollywood crowd; movie stars who live in Malibu. He says that they hate what America is and it should be formed into a socialistic state. Once again, anyone who has ever actually LISTENED to the man would know this.

Ummm, so it's ok to take joy in the fact that some move stars' homes ill burn down? OK!

Did we really need a thread for this? Maybe we could have one large thread for whenever a talk show host says something that someone here finds stupid. Like the stupid announcer thread in Sporting Events.

[/ QUOTE ]

The value of the thread is not in pointing out the banal (i.e., that talk show hosts say stupid things). It is the entertainment value of having folks bend over backwards to explain and excuse the stupidity of those talk show hosts that support their political point of view.

Didn't hear the audio....but I would guess it was said a bit tongue in cheek. It's real easy to put words down on paper to take all inflection and context out of what was said. Also the source will raise the eyebrows of any objective eye.

I don't know if there are lot of big Glen Beck fans here, though, so you probably won't get much action. I have never listened to his radio show, but I have watched his Headline News show a few times. I find him annoying.

Blame the Sierra Club... they are the ones who dont want the dry brush removed.... the stars are likely donating mucho dollars to support those whackies at Sierra, all to put their own homes at risk.

The Sierra Club strongly supports prescribed burns as a way to restore fire's natural role to the forest. Sierra Club supports fuel reduction projects near homes and communities. For a decade the Sierra Club has been urging the Forest Service to do more prescribed burning, reduce flammable brush near communities and we've been asking Congress to devote more money to do the job right. The Forest Service should stop pushing for commercial logging and put more resources towards protecting lives and communities.

I'm genuinely curious... did you hear this lie on a neofascist media outlet, or did you just make it up on the spot?

I am genuinely curious, can you name the major neofascists media outlets in the US, and give me a few examples of their neofascist reporting.

Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Drudge, Free Republic, etc. But of course you want to talk about anything other than the fact that he posted a bald-faced lie. I just want to know if it's getting circulated in the echo chamber.
