Are lesbians really women?
CNN’s Glenn Beck isn’t sure:

CNN has hired a bigot as one of their hosts, and they have been informed time and again about the hateful crap this guy is spewing on CNN’s dime. It’s time the network stopped acting like FOX News. Best Buy, among others, have supported this bigot for too long. Please visit Chris Achorn’s blog and help put an end this to ridiculous exercise in hate.
This isn’t about Rosie O’Donnell and her views. It’s about Glenn Beck’s bigotry being given a platform by a premiere major media outlet.

This poor guy's ears must be bleeding constantly at this point because he said the same thing about Hillary. He's no more bigoted than the listeners to his radio show, probably his TV gig as well.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:13 pmThe more attention you bring to this idiot's show, the more his ratings go up.
Too bad John A from Americablog didn't back up Jonathan Tasini, or even mention the guy when he was challenging Hillary for the NY Senate seat... maybe he would have said something as a NY Senator.
But John A, and all the other bloggers decided to hang out with 'Bill CLinton' on NY's Primary day... from invitations that were sent out way before Primary day to all of the so called 'Progressive Blogs'... well now you GET WHAT YOU DESERVE...
... ZERO REPRESENTATION.
Enjoy!
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:16 pmThis idiot is a supposed "journalist"?
How can he possibly be impartial when he makes gestures like that?
That is so incredibly offensive.
Rosie, GWB, Beck, -everyone- should be judged on their content of speech and intent; not because of anything else.
I guess by that yardstick (so to speak), Rosie is the most honest.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:21 pmI have a radical thought. Stop watching her if it's causing injuries.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:23 pmWait.
Best Buy supports this bufoon?
No wonder I never shop there, and never will.
FYE has better prices on music/dvd's, and giving a local dealer a price from the huge conglomerate Best Buy will result in a price match and more business to the local guy.
Never buy from the giant corporations. They are stealing our freedom, little by little.

April 3rd, 2007 at 10:26 pmas i just posted.. theres 2 explanations.
1. he thinks shes so ugly shes not a real woman..
2. he thinks lesbians arent real women.
quite frankly, its probably both.
and for those who say we should just ignore him, you are dead wrong. you dont let a wound fester because it will grow and infect more and more of the body.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:26 pmApparently there is such a thing as terminal stupidity.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:35 pmChris,
You are so incredibly small minded.
I feel pity for you.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:36 pmGo to bestbuy.com and let them know you're not happy that they are associated with this pathetic jerk. Best Buy may be the company's name but it isn't the best place to buy for this and price reasons.
And, what does this say about the jerks and nincompoops who listen and watch him on the shows where he proves himself to be pathetic.
April 3rd, 2007 at 10:39 pmWhy are Republicans so afraid of women that they have to resort to covert gay affairs or sexually abuse children?
I think strong women makes their "members" retract into their bodies.
Honestly people, whatever your size, it's as big as it needs to be. It's never going to be "big enough" - remember where babies come from?

April 3rd, 2007 at 10:50 pmI dunno, Glenn might know what he's talking about for once, seeing as he's one of the BIGGEST PUSSIES on the planet.
(Aren't you actually GLAD you're NOT Glenn Beck? How would you like to have to spend all your time hanging around w/ such an unhappy, clueless, absolutely pointless jerk that just happens to be YOU?)

April 3rd, 2007 at 10:56 pmIn tonites match we have in one corner, we have Rosie - and her tag team partner tonite is BORe and in the other corner folks, we have Glen Blech and Donald Tramp.
Ding Ding!
Rosie comes out with a overhand right that cause critical damage to the Tramps combover, blinded Tramp staggers back to his corner and tags Blech. Blech comes out of his corner and gives Rosie a finger sign that she doesn't comprehend and Tags BORe. BORe grab a falafel and wails away at Blech knocking off his glasses. Blech now blinded and stumbling around the ring can't find Tramp. BORe wisely tags Rosie and Rosie kicks Blech in the family Jewels...

Hopefully he's banging Tiffany, rather than cruising the 'net for gay sex threads.
Really, I am hopeful....
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:07 pm"Gee I don't know Glenn, but that purple pastel sweater sure looks manly"
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:14 pmBeck looks like a giant well-scrubbed baby in his Easter Egg costume.
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:18 pmIt's amazing, how the vitriol has shot from the right after Rosie dared to express distrust in the government's account of the events of 9/11.
Methinks they doth protest too much.
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:19 pmI'm gonna stick with Daryll is a parody. I can handle it if I'm wrong, but man, he's too much.
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:22 pmYeah, that fake Tiffany wanted to get some.
April 3rd, 2007 at 11:24 pmThat other view of Bush's speech was weird. I totally felt Cheney's contempt toward Chimpya's gum-flapping speech. He seemed bored, and tired of something.

Nice try! When someone writes off my admiration of Ann Coulter as an excuse to explain why Beck was objectionable, shows a inability to expound on their beliefs!
April 4th, 2007 at 12:03 amThe "smear machine" is in full-throttle with Rosie.
Notice that not one of these so-called journalists are even trying to debunk her questions, questions millions of people deem worthy of an answer, but rather they use insulting language to demean her and cloud the message.
And they act like we don't notice and their arrogant ploy is working.
If they were serious about debunking Rosie they would get some creditable scientists on to prove her wrong.
They can't do it - so they smear.

April 4th, 2007 at 12:13 am"This isn’t about Rosie O’Donnell and her views."
That's right, TP, otherwise you might be saying there is something to what Rosie said, a something you don't even mention. She wants people to look at 9-11 and the collapse of the WTC 7 because something is seriously wrong. The official story, which doesn't even explain why it fell, defies logic and structural engineering. Yes, you only mention it because of the gay slur, because your priorities are in order.
April 4th, 2007 at 12:16 amI hate Glenn Beck. I hate Rosie O'Donnell more. Riding the Bus with My Sister, anyone?
O'Donnell is an idiot that persistently ruminates on topics about which she knows absolutely nothing. Beck does the exact same thing.
Ignore them both.
April 4th, 2007 at 12:17 amBeck cant be more gay. Anyone that concerned about other people´s sexual preference is a closet homosexual.

April 4th, 2007 at 12:38 amElisabeth Hasselbeck has her own view about Rosie O'Donnell -- she's a pal. "Everyone's always thinking Ro and I don't get along, we're 'enemies,' " said the 29-year-old Hasselbeck, the youngest and most conservative member of "The View" team. "Politically, we're rivals. That is clear. However, we are personally friends. We are on e-mail all day long with each other."

Finally, a somewhat intelligent question from this blog! His contention is Iran has been testing the west for over 30 years and we haven't learned our lessons. Reagan backed them down, but nobody has done it since! Europe has caved in to the muslims. They are opting out of teaching children about the Holocaust to not offend muslims. They won't do ANYTHING to offend muslims! What CRAP! Muslims are now suing passengers on that American flight where they were removed for making suspicious actions! Our own Congress won't pass legislation to make it ok to report suspicious acts for fear of offending muslims. Americans side with terrorists over their treatment at Gitmo! This war is all but over! Liberals want us out of the Middleast and don't mind being defeated because that is exactly how it will be interpreted. Israel has been defeated for the first time in their history because liberals won't stand up to the danger. I'm in my golden years but I fear for my stepdaughters and their future children. The liberals in this world have sold us out over politics!

You are really out of the loop I think Michael. This has nothing to do with a few Muslims suing the airlines, people do that everyday for varied reasons. And BTW since when is suing a corporation an act of terrorism?

Reagan backed them down, but nobody has done it since!
Um...Reagan sold them weapons in an illegal contract according to American law.
Europe has caved in to the muslims. They are opting out of teaching children about the Holocaust to not offend muslims. They won’t do ANYTHING to offend muslims! What CRAP!
Prove any of those statements please. Smells like fear mixed with bigotry to me.
Muslims are now suing passengers on that American flight where they were removed for making suspicious actions!
Please list those suspicious actions. That will be fun.
Our own Congress won’t pass legislation to make it ok to report suspicious acts for fear of offending muslims.
That specific language is written in the legislation. Only offending Muslims? Please cite that law please.
Israel has been defeated for the first time in their history because liberals won’t stand up to the danger.
Why should such a red blooded American care what happens to Israel? Please expand on your love for the Jewish homeland over your own.
I’m in my golden years but I fear for my stepdaughters and their future children. The liberals in this world have sold us out over politics!

Some twit named Elizabeth Hasselbeck or something. She's married to some football player but supposedly was on Survivor (enough said). She has a Fox News tape running through her little head and is really annoying. She was enough reason to stop watching if the rest of the show was interesting.
April 4th, 2007 at 1:30 amRosie started taking heat because she put her little troll in her place. Obviously Rosie is frustrated like the rest of us and so has been speaking out more.
I try to remember to turn it on and have emailed producers giving her support.

Thats just it Michael you always ask questions and never prove anything.

George Soros (pronounced [ʃoroʃ]) [Shorosh] (born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, as György Schwartz) is a Jewish-American

April 4th, 2007 at 1:31 am#93 "This war is all but over!"
The war was done four years ago. March 20, 2003 we invaded. Within three weeks we couldn't find an army to fight. On May 23, 2007, the Iraqi army was officially dissolved by Paul Bremer.
The violence that's been happening since then is all after the war was over. Get a clue, there never really was a war, we've just been beating the cr*p out of the Iraqi people.

April 4th, 2007 at 1:36 amWhen I think of Michael I think of this scared little man all alone, except for the Jar of Jiff peanut butter with peter dents in it, watching TV in his basement which is constantly blaring FOX news at him. His world is growing smaller by the hour. A noise, it must be Osama creeping around upstairs!
Michael removes his peter from the Jiff Jar and almost castrates himself with his zipper in his fear of the terrorist upstairs. Michael locks the door and listens carefully, yes he hears it, it's coming down the stairs!!! Michael faints dead away.

Actually she is the sister of the football player, Matt Hasselbeck. He is kind of a jag-off too. I am thankful Favre lasted as long as he did so he isn't the Packers QB. Interestingly though, in an interview he came out and said that ole Liz just believed whatever anybody told her.

This sort of rhetoric has no place on the American airwaves.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:16 amBeck's just ticked off that he has strong competition when it comes to dating and having sex with other women.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:22 am...has anyone ever thought that Glen's show might be a "super sneaky" strategy to affirm CNN's viewpoint to it's viewers? Reminding liberal minded folk not only why they are slighty more socialistic but also confirming the basic republican viewpoint? Glen's rating's aren't that great because he's a "whacked-out republican" on a liberal news channel, I'm sure if he wanted to eat scraps and dumpster dive on occassion for dinner he'd take his parade to Fox and be ingulfed by the tide of rageing right-wing conspricists.
April 4th, 2007 at 4:17 amI can't remember the last time I watched CNN. Maybe having Beck is a good thing. Perhaps it will eat into FOX's hate-filled share.
Beck is just talking about what many have thought of and agree with. There are women with male chromosomes and vice versa. And it's not talked about because it's an afront to Creation.
April 4th, 2007 at 7:16 amWhy do liberals always espouse free speech, unless it somehow offends them?
Is Rosie a woman? I don't know - based on the evidence, probably not. Why don't we take a public opinion poll to decide.
ABC keeps Rosie on when she thinks the U.S. government had something to do with 9/11. That's pretty offensive to most Americans. So what if Glenn Beck thinks Rosie isn't a woman.
I would say there's more evidence to suggest Rosie is not a woman than there is that the government was somehow involved in 9/11, so let Glenn have his opinion and let CNN have one (just one) voice of reason on the air.
April 4th, 2007 at 8:29 am#125 - Why do liberals always espouse free speech, unless it somehow offends them?
Why do wingnuts like free speech only when it's part of a one-sided debate?
Free speech does not mean everyone agrees with you. Sometimes it just means you have enough freedom to show everyone what an idiot you are.

April 4th, 2007 at 10:00 amAmazing how much the left hates free speech.....
so is Rosie also a hateful individual since she says pretty much the same thing that Beck says, but instead of insulting homosexuals she insults Christians and anyone that disagrees with her?
oh wait, i forgot, the extreme lefties in America love freedom of speech, but only if that speech agrees with their ideology, much like the extreme far right.
incredible, the more different the extreme left and the extreme right are, the more they act the same. Both full of hate, venom and vile.
will thinkprogress.org put up all the hateful things that Rosie has said about the USA, Christinas, conservatives, etc, etc? or does thinkprogress.org only point out hate when they believe it is coming from the right?
I take it hate is hate, regardless of who spews it, right? Leave it to an ultra liberal blog to cry about hate from the far right and give a pass to hate from the far left.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:12 am#137 - So, what has Rosie said about Christinas?
Who are Christinas? Is that everyone named "Chris" or only those named "Christina"???
Methinks you should consider pulling that plank out of your eye before you start going after the splinter in everyone elses eyes.

April 4th, 2007 at 10:28 amAnd for those who continue to mock my wife, thank you. You guys strengthen me. It's a shame when the left has envious feelings toward a conservative's marital relationship. Is it because we follow biblical standards, pertaining to marriage? Is it because we don't believe in divorce? Is it because we actually have a perfect relationship with our spouses? Well, unlike you liberals, I sincerely love my wife. I cannot live without her. She completes me. I bet you libs wish you had that type of relationship.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:40 amI have and never will watch this buffoon. I won't even play the video. No worth any of my time. It still amazes me that people actually watch this garbage. CNN has lost a lot of credibility by keeping this guy on. Too many bad opinions and no facts for me.

April 4th, 2007 at 10:45 am#138, typo, I am assuming you are smart enough to figure that out, right? Christians, Rosie loves making fun, and spewing hate against Christians. If you got out of your left wing box you would realize that Rosie is one of the most hateful individuals around today.
That is what I don't get from the extreme left, they seem to condone, promote and accept when their leaders, and their followers spew hate, but if anyone dares spew hate against anything they believe they go nuts.
hate is hate, regardless of who spews it. The extreme left seems to only care about hate when it is thrown at them, but they love and adore using hate to get other people to agree with them or to shut them up.
once again, the far right and the far left love freedom of speech, but only if it agrees with their wacky ideologies.

Evidence would suggest that Rosie O\'Donnell is a female (I did not do my own research), but might not be a woman....
April 4th, 2007 at 10:52 amThis isn’t about Rosie O’Donnell and her views. It’s about Glenn Beck’s bigotry being given a platform by a premiere major media outlet. April 3, 2007 10:09 pm | Comment (144)
So I take it thinkprogress.org is also going to go after Rosie O'Donnell since she is being given a platform by a premiere television, media outlet where she can spew her hate.
Sorry, you can't go after Rosie and not after Glenn Beck. If you go after CNN because of Glenn Beck, you also have to go after ABC because of Rosie.
or does thinkprogress.org believe that ABC has the right to have Rosie, but CNN doesn't have the right to keep Glenn Beck?
April 4th, 2007 at 10:53 amI just went to Best Buy's web site to let them know that they have been added to my "shop my conscience" list. I decided to put my money where my mouth is and I let business' know that if they advertise with hate mongers like Glenn Beck and Michelle Malkin, I will not shop in their stores. The unfortunate thing is that my shopping choices is getting pretty slim. Oh well, it's worth it. The other thing I do is to write people who advertise on Air America and let them know that I will be doing business with them. It's time to put your money where your mouth is!
April 4th, 2007 at 10:58 amBeck is another very ugly human being. What does it say about the state of our mainstream media if ugly, classless people like this are given front stage to spew their ugliness as if its valid?
April 4th, 2007 at 11:01 amCaptain Kirk,
What exactly did Rosie say that offended you so? Can you be more specific?
April 4th, 2007 at 11:02 amTripMaster,
how about her blaming the kidnapping on the British, or how about her claiming that the 9/11 attack was an inside job, or how about her claim that ALL Christians are no different than the Islamic terrorist, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,....
the woman insults humanity by just breathing.....she is a very hateful buffoon.
I see no difference between her hateful words and that of Glenn Beck, but leave it to the left to defend Rosie and attack Beck. Talk about being blinded by ideology.

First of all, the British were soldiers. You don't 'kidnap' soldiers...you capture them.
(BTW, the soldiers thus captured are then 'prisoners', not 'hostages'.)
As for Rosie claiming it was their fault, such a claim is premature. We don't know what the British soldiers were doing, or whether or not they indeed did violate Iranian waters.
Plenty of evidence to support that claim. More than one third of all Americans believe that the U.S. government was directly involved in the events of 9/11, while a staggering 84% believe the government is engaged in a cover-up regarding the events of 9/11.
Did she claim that ALL Christians are no different then the Islamic terrorists? Link, please?
April 4th, 2007 at 11:33 amTripMaster,
my wife and I saw the show were she said that ALL Christians were just like Islamic Terrorist. That is a fact.
As for "plenty" of evidence that 9/11 was an inside job, please, go read up popular mechanics and how they debunk all the wacko theories that 9/11 was an inside job....example, crazy, lunatic, biggoted Rosie claimed that it is impossible that the steal from WTC 7 could have melted and that no building collapses on itself like WTC 7 did without a control demolition.
Popular Mechanics dealt a huge blow to this conspiracy by detailing how steal weakens at a mere 400 degree C and it loses much of its strength by 1,000 degree C. No one knows the temperatures that were reached inside WTC 7, but what it is known is that huge burning debris landed on WTC 7, furthermore, there were fuel tanks withini WTC 7, which also burned for countless hours.
and your poll, silly, dumb and ridiculous....do you believe something because the majority of people believe in it? polls are for the mindless and the weak minded that need the support of others to believe in something.
the fact is that 9/11 was NOT an inside job and anyone that think so is a huge nut, whether it is 1/3 of Americans or not.
any sane individuals know this....

You say you saw the 'show' but then you rely on her claim where 'she said' that All Christians were like Islamic terrorists. Which is it? Did you see it or not?
Besides, even if the TV show stated that it does not make it true. Tim McVeigh a fundamental evangelical Christian and member of the Elohim faction certainly does fit the terrorist mind set. Mcveigh did blow up the murrah building but it was not an inside job (most likely)

Seriously, Glenn Beck is a beady-eyed, paranoid, supercilious buffoon with a rampant case of xenophobia. He is a moronic apologist for the radical right and a sniveling, cowardly weasel. His folksy "oh gosh" fake veneer does not hide his seething bigotry and astounding ignorance. Glenn Beck is a wanna-be Bill O'Reilly who is helping turn CNN into "Fox News-light."
