You'd think people would take something from the fact that this man speaks in almost nothing but sentence fragments.....

The more attention people pay to him, the longer he'll stick around. If everyone ignores him, he'll go away.

I agree with OP's last sentence. I really don't pay any attention to what that individual has to say.

I don't know; we've been saying that about Limbaugh for two decades now, and he's still there.

And I hear his voice coming through loud and clear in some of the posts I read here from our more far right members.

Have you got a reliable source to back that up? All I can find is a bunch of blogs.

Really? After the country decides to nominate your husband? That makes you proud? Not after how the country united together after 9/11? Liberation of Iraq? Defeating of Saddam Hussein?

Wow. She needs to get her priorities in order.

What about almost 200 years or racism which has not been extinguished to this day? What about the million or so innocent Iraqis who died in the war against Saddam Hussein? A war which everyone knows never needed to happen.

I can see a-lot of reasons someone might not have been proud of our country until recently.

Hey, we had absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about in the eight years immediately preceding Obama. Right?

"Little Communist Church"? I'm not sure if this is much of an attack as it is complete crazy talk.

Hint: Don't listen to him.

What are "typical white people ?"

What is being "unlike the American people?"

I don't think Beck knows what typical white people are nor what Americans are like.

I don't think Beck knows what he's saying. SMH.

A total irrelevance. Beck himself is on record saying Family is NOT fair game.

Yet repeatedly, he goes after them.

He's not even scum. He's worse than that.

Wrong.

Its one thing to leave family out of it if they don't want the spot light. But when the First Lady or future First Lady comes out and starts making speeches she is just as much fair game as the president / candidate.

The family that is "not fair game" would be Bristol Palin who never asked to be thrown in the spot light and didn't deserve the grief she endured over being pregnant.

But if you're going to jump into the spotlight like Michelle Obama, you better be ready to take the heat.

Politicians AND commentators are more often than not nothing more propagandists and revisionists.

Don't be fooled.

As for who is more offensive Bush, Obama, or Beck?

To me, it is whoever has the most power.

Palin put her kid in the spotlight and used her for political gain.
