People forget, but the Dems have been in control of all of Congress since 2006.

That doesn't make the Republican administration of the time any less accountable.

[punked]

Okay, so it wasn't in the clip I linked, it's a pet quote of yours. I have no idea about gold, but 10,000 is about 10 times what it is now. Is that crazy?

Yes it is. If gold hits 10,000 all our money will be worth nothing because people will have pulled out of the money market to invest in gold. It wont happen and when it doesn't does that mean all the crazy predictions your guys make are just that crazy. Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn't make it not broken.

Listen to Peter, he know what he is talking about. The U.S. Dollar will be worth nothing and by the looks of it so will the Euro.

Buy silver.

I'm actually thinking of buying some tinfoil.

In Detriot city they are going to raze 10,000 empty houses/structures throughout the city. In Florida and California, abandoned homes are the same problem. California is teetering on bankruptcy and has done things like release prisoners that they can no longer afford to house. Their unemployment rate is over 12%.

Better make it 2 layers of tin foil and get yourself some ear plugs, cause it's not getting any better.

Good...should have been done years ago.

Canadian provinces release prisoners just for the hell of it?

Define "better"? Is it Americans going back to conspicuous consumption juist to benefit the world's economies, including Canada's?

I'm not gonna say 10,000 but it will go up and the American dollar will collapse.

The dollar went up 3 cents in the last week.

If jobs grow at the same rate over the next 8 months as the last 4 there will be more jobs created in 2010 then all of the Bush presidency. Spare me your sky is falling nonsense.

There is a lot of venom directed towards Glenn Beck from the left.I admit I enjoy his program but it comes on at the same time as Top Gear on BBC Canada so I am forced to switch back and forth .I have to wonder,while there is a lot of criticism about Beck, none of his critics are actually refuting what he is saying.Is it because his critics can't refute his claims?

I don't live in America, and where I live, everything is fine. I find tinfoil to be quite optional, thank you.

I'm afraid I need some help here.I only have dial up internet which is iffy at best so I can't see the videos you posted.What,specifically,are the things that Glenn Beck lied about?Are there a couple of things he got wrong?Does he get everything wrong?Was he right about anything?

He was one of the first one's to mention Obama appointing a man(Van Jones,since resigned)as his "green jobs czar".Beck claimed Jones was and is a Communist,a serious accusation to say the least.Was he wrong about that?Apparently not.

Beck's program in the past week talked about the connections of the people around Obama and their past quotes and so on.Canadian Maurice Strong being one of the subjects.According to Beck,some of these people have made some disconcerting statements in the past.Some of these statements are backed up with audio/video proof.

I can't honestly say everything that comes from Glenn Beck is the absolute truth.But can you fairly say everything he says is false?

I like his show,as well as The Factor with Bill O'Reilly.I don't know what Beck's rating are like,but O'Reilly seems to be trouncing his competitors.

He was wrong about Van Jones. Although when Beck said Miranda‎ rights should apply to everyone arrested in America no matter what the right wing says he was right. Although like I said even though a broken clock is wrong almost every second of the day for two of those seconds in the day it is right. It isn't enough though to be right once out of every million times. That just doesn't cut it for me.

[sharkman]

Punked, as you can see those videos are nothing but people attacking silly comments. The seats were reserved/were not reserved, and for that Whoopi calls him a bag of dog mess. By Whoopi doing that she reveals her lack of scruples and hard bias which makes her not trustworthy on the issues.

The point is some people don't like conservative talk shows and that's fine. But as those slickly produced clips show, people attack these conservatives for anything they think will stick. They pick the silliest comments out of context and go AHA! He's a liar! But they can't refute the rest of the program so they try to character assassinate over whether Glenn Beck approached Barbara or not. An open minded person can see that's a waste of time.

Beck was right about Van Jones, or Jones wouldn't have had to resign. Beck was right about the American economy. He was right about oil sky-rocketing. He was right about sub-prime mortgages. That means a lot more to the average Joe than whether or not he was wrong about some silly seats being reserved.

I'm not at all convinced that Beck was wrong about Van Jones,and there is evidence that Jones does hold rather radical views.

And I still don't know what was on those videos you posted.Do they claim Beck was factually wrong on a certain issue,and if so,what was that issue?

This is from the Wikipedia link:"the incident deepened my disaffection with the system and accelerated my political radicalization."[17] In October 2005 Jones said he was "a rowdy nationalist"[14] before the King verdict was announced, but that by August of that year (1992) he was a communist.

How is it possible that someone with beliefs like this could be appointed in the United States?He wasn't vetted?Surely the Obama admistration knew exactly who they were appointing.

[ironstone]

Hey,Glenn Beck is coming on in about 15 mins on FOX.I trust all of you will be watching

I'll watch some of his show,but boxing is also on TSN so I'll be switching back and forth.Let me know if Glenn is wrong about something or says something outrageous.

[Shady]

He was wrong about Van Jones.

No, he was absolutely right about Van Jones.

Although when Beck said Miranda‎ rights should apply to everyone arrested in America

Actually, that's something he was wrong about. Miranda rights aren't rights, and they're not in the constitution. So I'm not sure why he was referring to them as constitutional rights.

He was still right that they should apply. Without them, it's a police state.

Really? Then I guess Canada is more of a "police state" in that respect, because the Charter does not prevent questioning before counsel is retained.

Wiki say:

While Section 7 of the Charter guarantees the right to remain silent, Canadian law does not entitle the criminal suspect to have counsel present during the course of an interrogation. Once a suspect has asserted their right to counsel, the police are obliged to hold off in attempting to obtain evidence until the suspect has had a reasonable opportunity to contact legal counsel, however suspects do not have the right to have counsel present during the questioning. Also, in Canada even if the suspect emphatically asserts his decision to remain silent, the police may continue to interrogate him. Although this may give the suspect the impression that his claim of the right to silence is meaningless or that he has no such right, it is perfectly legal. In R. v. Singh (163 C.R.R. (2d) 280), the suspect invoked his right to remain silent 18 times and the police nevertheless continued to browbeat him with questioning after each assertion of his right, but the Supreme Court of Canada found this consistent with Canada's Charter rights protections.

Then maybe it is. What makes you imagine we're in disagreement?

Really? So American's lived in a police state pre-1960's? As Canadians, do we currently live in a police state?

Your assertion is one of the more retarded comments I've ever read in this forum. But it does beg the question. Why do you so easily disparage Canada and America, while at the same time, contort yourself in a pretzel like fashion to defend the actions of pirates and Islamic terrorism.

No but police were in violation of the Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment before that for not informing a person of their rights. Check the court decision Shady.
