[...] Beck said tonight that his numerous inflammatory comments aren’t due to his right-wing point of view, but are merely a sign that he is “not perfect” and “struggl[ing] to find the answers to the issues that we face on my own.” Some lowlights from Beck’s “struggle”: The anti-gay slur “faggot” is nothing more than “a naughty name.” [1/23/07] [...]

There used to be a play yard rhyme that went like â€œsticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt meâ€. I guess weâ€™ve gone past that. The left attempts to define thought by directing which words are appropriate for use. Thus out of a wide range of slag words for homosexuals, they decide gay is the â€œsensitiveâ€ and correct word and castigate everyone else for the terms queer or faggot. That is not the only case, there was the response to the use of the word niggardly as it related to a budget matter, but the left wing community went wild on the white man who made the statement.
On the other hand, the liberals usually donâ€™t have a problem with the word cracker. This is the same liberal community that has presided over an education establishment that has seen a steady decline in SAT scores. Go figure. â€œFreedom of speech as long as you say it my way.â€

What’s funny, is I just see a bunch of liberals dissing somebody that actually says outloud what most people are thinking.
I highly doubt ANY of you have even bothered to listen/watch his programs, or you’d be singing different tunes.
#97 – typifies the left. Your parents must be proud…..
These blogs are neat….as I didn’t realize there was such loathful hatred out there for people that didn’t believe as you leftys do.
You’d rather put your neighbors behind razor fences, because they believe in God, their country, and the importance of innocent life, and the sanctity of marriage, instead of a hate-filled muslim that is killing innocent men/women/children so they can get some virgins. I bet many of you silently cheer, whenever wulf tells you how many soldiers are killed, don’t you.
Good thing Muslims wear turbins……so we can tell the two of you apart.

CNNâ€™s Glenn Beck Calls Anti-Gay Slur Simply A â€˜Naughty Nameâ€™ —– …. uhmm why the hell is this a headline, – thats what it is , its a degrading name, apparently “liberals” will jump on any chance to try to smear someone like glenn regardless of how absurd it is, !!! haha, this is amusing, why is this even news, haha you cant let peoples stupidity get you all worked up or youll go crazy i guess you just gotta accept it sumtimes and do your best to present your case, anyway he has a tremendous radio show, (i like the radio show better than the tv show – its not as restrictive) its highly entertaining and sumtimes the bits are downright laught out loud funny ( sumtimes ill sneak headphones in my hat to work and burst out laughing around others doing my best to hold it in hah) even sumtimes preferable over fm staion morning shows although he does have a balance between serious and funny – the funny thing is that most of these negative comments are probably from people who dont even listen to the radio show and jump to conclusions and judge unobjectivly, for me personally i really dont see what is wrong here why they make him out to be a bad guy i dont understand this, i find him bringing up an interesting debatable viewpoint (in what context a newsource should be able to print possibly offensive language), (HES NOT CALLING ANYONE A FAGOT) WOOPS I JUST SAID FAGGOT , THIS MUST MEAN I HATE GAYS, uuggh wake up like i said he brings up an interesting debatable viewpoint and i happen to agree with him (key word debatable – but people would rather jump to insults and personal attacks rather and than refute his views with intelligent counterarguments) its like they find a computer glitch then out of frustration bash it to pieces instead of troubleshoot a solution that is not how you convince someone of your views, not that you cant be passionate, just be intelligent and passionate or whatever ,anyway thats all

The truth causes the most disturbing reaction among those who feel the sting and are condemed by their actions. The natural response is to condem the condemor. Glenn Beck is eerily correct on most issues. Listen and learn something!

If you pissed, shit and puked in a large iron pot for a week, then boiled it down to a pussy slime…

It would still have more intelligence, decency and awareness then Glenn Beck.

I thought the left had open minds and support free speech. Wait a minute that’s right only if you are on the left side. It is amazing how many of you want to shut him up and get him fired. I guess you want to live in a communist state. By the way he was not calling someone a faggot he was repeating what someone else said.

If it quacks like a duck.. hopefully he’s not a far -right winger like Pat buchanan. I find the Left much more palatable than him.

Isn’t Glenn Beck the only conservative on CNN? He is moderately conservative and you idiots won’t even tolerate him. You completely missed the point on this one. What is it about lefty’s only listening to a tiny clip and thinking they know someone– happens all the time.

You people are unbelievable. No mention of the guy who actually used ‘faggot’ as a put down but you all, Kevin aside, can’t get past Glenn ‘relating the story.’ When have liberals ever worried about incindary language(except when they’re on the recieving end)?

How do you people get through life with such thin skins?

You go Glenn!

89: He should be in prison? So much for Freedom and the 1st Amendment.

Is that what liberalism is today? Apparently so.

I really don’t see the problem. A pervert is a pervert is a pervert. A queer is a queer is a queer. If someone’s a queer, then why not be proud of it instead of trying to hide behind some phony made up definintion? That seems just a little hypocritacl to me.

Setting libel, slander and defamation of character protections under U.S. law asideâ€¦ Doesnâ€™t Washington have the right to fell, think and express (Freedom of Speech â€“ U.S. Constitution) the way he wishes? He has not harmed any but himself, based on public reaction. Only if there is an ethics or public behaviour clause in his employment contract can he be removed/cancellation of contract/employment with Disney Corp. or subsidiary of before mentioned â€œparent companyâ€. Good luck Washington. I may or may not agree with you but this is Americaâ€¦last I checked. Cheers Beck, for the realization that the fear of open discussion, in a mature conversation, is not American. We should not fear to discuss that â€œnaughtyâ€ or hateful speech is not a disease but just bad behaviour of ignorant individuals.
