Hey Jack, the best part is that the deadbeat Congressman is doing a better job than the former liberal one in his district and the current president.
What does that say about your liberal friends when a deadbeat parent can do a better job than the people you support? Hilarious!

It's pretty funny to hear Beck telling an audience who is going to vote 100% Republican - that both parties are bad (and the same, by inference).....
He is like the typical hate monger and race baiter - that is, he speaks in a "code" only his followers know how to translate. But I get it. He is saying "vote republican, give republicans your money and start a race war".

Beck appeals to his followers basest fears. If he didn't perpetuate the falsehoods and keep them all scared, what would all those people do?

Hopefully not listen to fools like you Sully. It's telling when a deadbeat parent congressman can get more done in his district than the former liberal one did in years. Pretty telling if you ask me that the deadbeat does a better job than those you keep supporting lol.

Why do you guys keep calling Tea Party Racists in light of Herman Cain winning the straw poll? Don't you guys get your understand of the movement is way off?

If it is way off, as you say, why don't the leaders denounce those that are giving the party a bad name? That's all it would take. As for the straw poll, those who voted paid to vote and I doubt those people represent a large majority.

Case in point, Data-
Hank Williams compared Obama to Hitler and called him "the enemy", which lead ESPN to remove him from the beginning of their football show. Now the head of tea party nation is calling for an ESPN boycott and for Williams to run for senate. Is that something to be proud of?

To be honest it doesn't concern me. I don't know Hank Williams Jr or watch ESPN. Though I understand where you are coming from, there is no 'leader' to denounce x, y, or z and that is the thing.

Not to derail or justify behavior by sighting similar behavior, but it is worth mentioning Obama during the Univision interview called republicans the enemy and he is the defacto leader of the democratic party.

You mean the defacto dictator Datafix. Comrade Obama.
