Would this be the same Noel Sheppard whose idea of substantive research for an article is watching Smiley O’Reilly? The guy whose claim that global warming is a liberal myth is founded on a ludicrous argument about a Swedish tree that has as much bearing on the *actual* global warming discussion the rest of us are having as, say, the number of pirates in the world does? The guy who whined that the so-called ‘liberal media’ were ignoring the Medal of Honor given to Michael Murphy, stating that “according to LexisNexis, outside of New York’s local papers such as Newsday, the Daily News, and the New York Post, no major daily bothered reporting Lt. Murphy receiving the Medal of Honor,” when in point of fact it had been reported by the Associated Press, the Cincinnati Post, Commercial Appeal (Memphis), Daily Press (Newport News, VA), Denver Post, Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Kansas City Star, Los Angeles Times, Mobile Register, Myrtle Beach Sun-News, Rocky Mountain News, Times Union (Albany, NY) and The Washington Post? That Noel Sheppard?

You know, not to let the facts stand in the way of an accusation of liberal media bias or anything.

#12 dim wit – Once again, your username characterizes you perfectly. Beck’s show (both radio and tv) are a mix of comedy and serious issues. He’s been saying so for years. The intro to his radio show says “the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment”, dope.

#16 Frosty Cupcakes – What are you even talking about?

#27 – You might want to reference that you cut and pasted your first paragraph directly out of either wikipedia or the dictionary. What’s the deffinition for SARCASM? Because that’s what Beck’s comment was.

#32 – He wasn’t creating controversy, he was making fun of idiots who believe this crap about Obama being the antichrist. He’s not worth the time and effort which is why you posted about him? You people talk in circles constantly, it’s comical to read.

Once again, your reactions make me feel like I’m reading quotes from a 7 year old calling a bully names. I’m surprised I didn’t hear anyone call Beck a meany poopy-head.

It’s clear that the people making the comments here didn’t listen to the complete audio or see the complete video. If you did it would be painfully clear to you that Glenn was being sarcastic / joking in his question and that he was indeed making fun of the ‘whack jobs’ that actually think that Obama could be the anti-christ. Hearing this segment in it’s entirety would 100% clear this up for any reasonable person, weather or not you agree with him on any issue.

DRxJ – that was no fraudian slip when glenn said he was use to being a biggot as he’s a conservative. As the comments here demonstrate, as soon as someone says they’re a conservative, the media, liberals in general pretty much just say that’s what you are. If you think our country should actually enforce the law and protect our southern border, you have to be a racist right? If you don’t want to have a communist/socialist state so therefore don’t want Obama to be president it has to be because he’s black, not becuase you disagree with his policies. It’s easy to throw people under the bus and call them a racist instead of having a cival conversation about facts.

And just to get back to this whole story. Glenn’s comments were clearly taken out of context to make it look like something it wasn’t. It was what I explained above but they found a creative way to make it look like it’s a right-wing racist conversation. Come on, I would love to sit and watch it with anyone who could say it wasn’t clearly a joke and this TP story wasn’t twisting the facts to push an agenda. This a common and unfortunate tactic of the mainstream (i.e.liberal) media.

Billy Hill – My mouth was actually gaping when I was reading your post until it took a moment to realize you were using that wonderful comedic tool, sarcasm. Great point.

I heard this Glen Beck person once while channel surfing…but I couldn’t listen to him more than one minute. He is both vile and an idiot.

You haven’t experienced the wonders of the fatally irritating, persistently whiny Mark Levin, or Michael Wein… — um, sorry, [the big-schlonged-in-his-own-mind] “Savage” — then. You wouldn’t last ten seconds with these guys.

Cheers,

No, it’s not. Not to anyone paying attention.

BECK: It feels pretty predictable. It feels pretty — I`m used to being a conservative.

It should feel “predictable”. Beck’s pretty much as much a racist tool as they come. He should be “used to” it; he’s been that way all along.

Cheers,

How else can this make any sense? He’s talking about Obama being the Antichrist with a radical fundamentalist….

but all in good fun.

That’s journalism?

TP is journalism, it’s the days event with tons of facts and articles, and not too much opinion.

You people inevitably know how to read and for the most part type, but you really have to quit waiting in the nest for mommy to regurgitate a bunch of crap to fill your brains. Why not do a little search and find the truth for a change. Its nice to watch the little light box for your daily table of contents and talking points but for once in your lives take a stab at individuality and think for yourselves. I promise you, you’d be better off doing that than trusting ANY single media source, including this one.

“Us people” know how to do exactly that. In this case, Beck – as usual – is completely full of crap. We have the full video here and the transcript via Media Matters. He tried to launch yet another baseless Obama smear, and at the same time claim he’s somehow innocent in the process. Yeah, right.

The following day Media Matters also reported on his comment and they didn’t just “Cut and Paste” what TP had said, they did their own report – used the full 80 word quote and included the entire Hagee interview as a video and transcript.

Nothing in either of these reports were inaccurate, and any visitors to either TP or MM were certain given enough information to make their own independant determination as to whether what Beck asked was “A Joke” or not, so basically Beck is complaining, in effect, that he was quoted correctly.

What a crime, eh?

Beck’s claim is essentially that he was trying to make fun of the people who would dare to call Obama the “Anti-Christ”, but that isn’t funny when he’s also being called some kind of “Stealth Muslim” who won’t say the Pledge of Allegience, or Sing the National Antem, was sworn in on the Koran, went to a Madrassa in Indonesia and whose wife apparently is some kind of closet “America Hater” whom Bill O’Reilly might have to create a “Lynching Party”.

All of these are lies, and there are some people who “Actually Believe” them – but none of that is funny.

if you can’t beat them, snark them!

if you’ve got it, snark it.

Actually, that is THE way to say it! LOL. Forgive me, TP, for I have snarked.

if you’ve got it, snark it.

Hussein: we’re adding “Hussein” to our names in solidarity with Obama and the attacks the wingnuts have made because of his middle name

Snark: one night of foolishness on a dead thread, thinking of all the ways to use the word “snark” in common sayings, movie titles, TV show titles, etc.

Both of these bits of goofiness really shut the trolls up.

So, “snark it like you’ve got it”

~Christian Hussein Christian

Okay, off topic, since I was gone for 10 days recently, ya’ll are going to have to ’splain to me what all this “Hussein” and “snark” stuff is ’bout.

You left out HYPOCRITE!
