Not at all....it is great fun to show wannabes their ass on such matters.

Sorry, but you have yet to convince me that I stack up poorly against the average Yankee Jim or Jane.

Right....but which episode?

Episode ?!? I thought it was a movie ?!?

Seriously, I don't even put Hollywood in the same league. Even people in France know a lot about Hollywood.

Of course, in the end it's all opinion and nothing more. And that's a good thing. And we have painfully determined that Beck's opinions are at least as valid as yours, and a whole lot more "popular".

We haven't determined that at all. If I were as fake or self-serving as him, I'd drown myself in a vat of peanut butter.

It's quality, not quantity. Just because junk food is popular, doesn't mean its good for you.

Sure, and I bet you know exactly how people should think too. It would be a beautiful world if only people thought just as you do in Canada, because you know best for not only Americans, but all other nationals as well. LOL!

Mostly, I know what's best for you - which is to shut up and agree with me ! I am a rare poster in that I genuinely value conservative and liberal views, so you should treasure my contribution to your education here.

You're welcome !

And why would Hollywood notice this from your comparative backwater?

And no doubt it would be American peanut butter.

It doesn't have to be good or bad.

We'll leave the light on for you...so many Americans...so little time.

Trying hard isn't a determinant of failure or success.

And why would Hollywood notice this from your comparative backwater?

They wouldn't.

And no doubt it would be American peanut butter.

I only use 'Our Compliments' Peanut Butter. Now I don't expect you to know what that is, but if you didn't I wouldn't assume you knew "jack" about Canada.

It doesn't have to be good or bad.

Good point. If it's done in minute amounts, it's fine. You're African-American, I thought, no ? If so, I hope you watch your junk food intake as your background is linked to higher risks of heart disease. Stay away from the burgers, B_C !

...and shouldn't

I only use 'Our Compliments' Peanut Butter. Now I don't expect you to know what that is, but if you didn't I wouldn't assume you knew "jack" about Canada.

Nor would I ever pretend to know, or bear witness to my "Canadian friends" (or Uncle Bob in Hamilton) as proof of my depth and breadth of Canuck experience.

Good point. If it's done in minute amounts, it's fine. You're African-American, I thought, no ? If so, I hope you watch your junk food intake as your background is linked to higher risks of heart disease. Stay away from the burgers, B_C !

No, I am just an American who is not afraid of junk food, or your imagination about junk food and "Africans".

Problem is if you call Dobbs a racist he yells "MY WIFE IS MEXICAN!!!"

I don't think Dobbs is a racist. I do think he oversimplifies and does help along an agenda which has been around for well over a century, which amounts to "Don't let any more Catholics into the United States!"

[Michael Hardner]

It is for American wannabes.

Or Wannabe Americans, I guess. I don't want to be American, but I'm glad that I'm knowledgeable about it.

No, I am just an American who is not afraid of junk food, or your imagination about junk food and "Africans".

You shouldn't be "afraid" but shouldn't live in denial either. As an African American (not as an African) you have a much higher risk of Heart Failure.

Stay away from fried food. And how's you're weight ?

Again, I post because I care.

[bush_cheney2004]

Or Wannabe Americans, I guess. I don't want to be American, but I'm glad that I'm knowledgeable about it.

But you are only knowledgeable about American media..and even that is very shakey.

I don't think so...my last heartscan (you guys don't usually get those until near death) was very good.

How's your racism?

[Oleg Bach]

See that little bit on CNN where the kids point at the flash cards of the varied coloured dolls and say that black is bad? I suppose that if you keep a population poor enough - long enough they will behave badly - it's all about economics and real education...Glenn Beck? I finally saw his face on TV - don't know anything about him other than he looked well developed - well fed over his life time and well privledged - so the stronger flower gets the water I suppose..so what is he about?

[Michael Hardner]

But you are only knowledgeable about American media..and even that is very shakey.

I can name all the US presidents in under 1 minute !

Also the states, but that takes a few minutes.

I don't think so...my last heartscan (you guys don't usually get those until near death) was very good.

How's your racism?

Hey now, good buddy. It ain't so. I want you to stick around is all.

[Oleg Bach]

Most smart people in Canada watch mostly American media..because it gives us a sense of hope - that we are of the superiour mind...AMERICANS only think they have it together - we KNOW we do.

I don't watch Law & Order because it gives me a sense of hope, Oleg.

[Oleg Bach]

Neither do I - not big on dramma after spending 18 years around highly professional liars (actors) ...I do scan CNN to see what the policy of informational deployment is..you can sense the trend as far a propoganda...what was interesting regarding Orwellian AMERICAN media was one bit on CNN about a "cook show host" - who supposedly hired a couple of homeless men to murder someone...there was a caption under the picture (so and so accused of MURDER) - The next day the same caption was still there and no one bothered to correct it..The reality was that it was a plot to murder but no murder had taken place...so media in effect in a Blade Runner sort of way had convicted this guy of MURDER - yet there was no murder.

SO you don't think trans fats should be criminalized in Regina?

[bloodyminded]

MH, I noticed you didn't mention how many shows of his you watched while coming to your decision. You have probably come to your conclusion on him based on what you've heard from the MSM then. Clips taken out of context. Or video where Whoopi decides Beck is a bag of dog crap because he may have been mistaken as to whether a seat was reserved or not.

Beck called a pedestrian, conventional filmmaker (James Cameron) "the antichrist." He tells christians to abandon their churches if the preacher speaks of "social justice."

He weeps quite a lot. Surely you've noticed this bizaare affliction.

I have heard Beck screaming--literally, screaming--at a caller who defended the notion of universal healthcare.

He's unhinged; and not too bright.

Like his admirers.

[bloodyminded]

Getting bad where? Are you really that patronizing? Not only do you voluntarily watch American media, but you also want to determine its content from frickin' Canada?????? WTF?

Yeah, Canadians are as smart as you are. Galling, I know, but a fact.

That's the basic rub for you...Beck is an American with certain rights...and you can't shut him up (or me).

You think criticizing somebody is an attack on their free speech rights?

just like Palin! she doesn't understand the concept of free speech rights either.

[Michael Hardner]

He's unhinged; and not too bright.

Or he's just a liar and a whore and it's a sad comedy routine that he does to dupe people who care.

[sharkman]

I've noticed something about those contrarian types who have for some reason or other become like the proverbial prophet in the wilderness. People seem to react with personal attacks and over the top scorn. If the person in question is a nutbar, then it is self evident and the need to prove it is not there, his delusions will bring him to ruin. So these loud protests seem to suggest something else.

In history there have been many examples of these types of characters who it turned out were right, whatever field of endeavor they championed. Churchill was one such nutbar, Patton was another. Odd people with seeemingly out of step views that turned conventional wisdom on its head. I'm sure many scientists could be added to this group, and another such would be Peter Schiff, who correctly saw what economists the world over missed, the deep recession we are struggling to recover from. To these types some people simply say that a broken clock is right 2 times a day, and yet those who listened to him and saved their retirement funds may beg to differ.

A few people are now saying that Obama is bringing the US to financial ruin, Glen Beck being one of them. Roundly scorned, mocked, hated and even active attempts are made to embarrass these people. And yet, if their opinions are so obviously disconnected with reality, it should be obvious. But it isn't, not by a long shot. And now that economic symptoms are worsening across the globe, it seems like people protest Beck(and others) in an attempt to actually shout him down.

I'd say that deep down there is fear among the shouters, those who protest too loudly, and instead of thinking seriously about the issues they respond with fear.

Ummm Beck has had his ratings drop by close to 50% this year. So you point doesn't make any sense. People think he IS a nut and have stopped listening. His biggest viewer ship comes when he is made fun of on John Stewart. Sorry Glen, like the tea part, and Rand Paul are all old hat.

BTW Gold is dropping like a Rock. Sorry Beck heads.

Then again, not everyone who appears as a nutbar isn't one. Sometimes people provoke outrage just because they're outrageous.

Churchill, Patton... and Glenn Beck.

Hmmmm...

[Shady]

His ratings are double that of any other show on any other cable news channel.

BTW Gold is dropping like a Rock. Sorry Beck heads.

Actually, gold isn't dropping like a rock. It was up today!

CNBC

Just more punked lies.

Gold was stagnant today after dropping 8% over the last week. You really understand nothing do you?

http://www.google.com/finance?catid=64980108

BTW gold was down 6 dollars today Shady you might want to cite the price of actual gold and not a gold company. It is called the gold spot price Shady.

Does stagnant mean up $1? Cause if it does, than you're right! Otherwise, I provided you the link to its actual closing price. Up $1. I'm not sure why you chose to ignore it. Btw, gold is up 22% this year, despite this week.

It was down 12 dollars Shady. Will you learn something and not post a gold company but use the actual Spot price for gold. Of course you wont because you don't know what that is. Please for all of us pick up a book a learn something. Go look at the precious metals price.

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/commodities/cfutures.html

I also hate to burst your bubble but the Dow is also up 22% this year. You are making a terrible argument you should argue the 2 year price of gold, because you wouldn't want to go back 5 years when the price crashed. Gold will crash again because it has no real use beside to people like you who think it is an investment. It isn't it is a place to park your money so it doesn't devalue in tough markets. Money traders know that and have parked there when the markets recover they will pull out and people who bought into Beck will be tough out of luck.

There are other people saying Obama's spending will ruin the US. I just used Beck since this is a Beck thread. Apparently you are not familiar with Schiff. Nevermind, all is well, happy days are here again!

The price of gold thing is thread drift. THIS isn`t....

NY Times

Joel Cheatwood, the senior vice president of development for Fox News, said the network’s legal department had recently sent a letter to Mr. Beck’s representatives “seeking clarification” about his work for Goldline.

“They sent back word that he is not a paid spokesman,” Mr. Cheatwood said, adding that it would be “problematic without question” if Mr. Beck did have a position as a paid spokesman for a product.

Fox News released a statement outlining its official policy about such issues: “Fox News prohibits any on-air talent from endorsing products or serving as a product spokesperson.”

Fox News stressed that it was not aware that Mr. Beck was listed on the Internet as a paid spokesman. But he definitely was, until very recently. On cached editions of the Goldline Web site over the last week to 10 days, a photograph of Mr. Beck was accompanied by an asterisk which led to a line at the bottom of the site that read: “paid spokesman.”

It IS, however, oldnews...
