Freedom is a precious thing. It's terrifying how it can be taken away so easily.

@ Opus #6: I was just thinking about that - when advertisers started pulling sponsorship of his show. I was thinking, "What are they DOING? His viewer numbers are going to go through the roof! What better place to advertise?"

It's sort of like Vader striking down Obi Wan... "I'll become more powerful than you ever imagined." Or something like that.

Dang! Now I have to go watch the movie! xoxo

Gonzo Mama, get ready for an increase in hits on your blog from folks searching Glenn Beck. The liberals have made him more popular today than he ever dared to dream of.

@Cracker Jack: I rather feel the same way about many of the "news" mongers in MSM, but hey - we all have our favorites.

Welcome to the blog... I hope you'll come back for the regular stuff, which is mostly satirical and sometimes even giggle-worthy. Again, like a lot of news programs these days, both liberal and conservative. :)

The problem isn't his opinions -- it's the fact that he tells outright lies and spreads misinformation in order to further the fear mongering that has been the primary tool of the GOP for the last 9 years.

There are plenty conservative writers and pundits whose opinions I don't agree with, but their character deserves respect. Beck has no character.

@mommymuse: Thank you, thank you.

@sarahntastic:"I think part of free speech is being able to publicly crucify someone if you don't agree with them." So true! Hey - I've expressed unpopular opinions (anyone remember my satire piece on Gitmo and bikinis?), and I've taken my lumps for them. I'm happy to do so, if it ensures the system of freedom is operating.

I think part of free speech is being able to publicly crucify someone if you don't agree with them. I also hope that just regular, good hearted people, whatever their political affiliation, are disgusted by what this man says. With that said, I completely agree with you that censorship in any fashion is reprehensible and cannot be tolerated.

To say I am impressed by your maturity is an understatement. Wow. I'm wishing everyone who wants to silence those with unpopular opinions would learn something from you!
