		<description>**Come to think of it, it would seem that Mr. Massa is incapable of giving a “straight” answer to any question.&quot;&quot;

Come to think of it, Beck doesn&#039;t respond to any questions that might require a &#039;straight answer&quot; ever, unless it&#039;s a  softball interview from a FOX host or an MSM interview that is pre-scripted, over which he has control over the final cut. 
But that&#039;s what cowards do.</description>

		<description>Mr. Beck is a lot like all of us who abhor people who cannot/will not give a straight answer to a clear question.  Obfuscation is the art of being a politician.  Come to think of it, it would seem that Mr. Massa is incapable of giving a &quot;straight&quot; answer to any question.</description>

		<description>I was surprised that Beck went ahead with an hour of Massa. I knew that he had announced it the previous day, but there was enough information out there about Massa earlier on Tuesday, that Beck would have been justified in cutting it to 30 minutes, or 20, or maybe 10. Ten minutes would have been about right. As it was, I did not watch, having already figured out that Massa was a total nut.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s an old Hollywood saying, &quot;There&#039;s no such thing as bad publicity.&quot;  Keith Olbermann is a good example of those on the far left.  He hates Fox News with a passion, but can tell you every word that&#039;s said on every show.  The idea is to get people to watch, and they are.</description>

		<description>I was Navy, as well, albeit JAG, and when I heard this I wondered if the Seamen were in their bunks having tickle fights. I didn&#039;t think so, and I appreciate your confirming that. I thought tickle fights were pretty much limited to sorority girls in Baby Dolls. I think of that often, as a matter of fact.</description>

		<description>Tickle fights??? I was in the Navy. We had no tickle fights. Blanket party&#039;s (Hold the blanket over someone and beat the crap out of them for being a fag, or screw up) yes. Tickle fights no. Yep, Glen Becks Ego led him  to be played. He was warned by  Michelle Malkin, should have listened to her....</description>

		<description>In my own view, Bill, Beck&#039;s train wreck was the result of hubris and over-whelming ego. I suspect that when the standard for quality in &quot;news&quot; is ratings and only ratings, this type of thing bound to happen from time-to-time. In the annals of cable &quot;news&quot; history, this debacle will be long remembered.</description>

		<description>Beck was suckered and the biggest factor in his being suckered is Beck&#039;s own desperate need to try to break it off in the administration.  He&#039;s gone from lies about health care reform to eugenics to fractured history to Massa.  Belly crawlers like Beck leave a slime trail wherever they go.</description>

		<description>MichelleF – I understand your anger and frustration.  Right on cue, Limbaugh makes an indefensible racist comment and then Becks interview that was going to “quite possibly change the course of this nation” was perhaps the worst train wreck that cable television has seen in years, which is actually quite an accomplishment.

There is a difference between pointing out some basic facts and a smear.  The “smear” is something perfected by the likes of Beck and Limbaugh.  They are the example.

same2u – I think you are correct; badgering is the more accurate term.</description>

		<description>I watched both Beck and King, although I will admit it was one of those distracted viewings whilst I was doing something else. Nonetheless, Beck&#039;s hour with Massa was an utter waste. Some of the most boring television I have viewed in many years. By contrast, and only by contrast I am sure, King&#039;s time in this instance was slightly better.</description>

		<description>What a train wreck, Glenn! How disappointing for you, I&#039;m sure.

You and Rush were all excited about giving a platform to someone who could potentially embarrass your political opponents, but the only thing exposed were your bottom feeding tactics and disdain for your audience&#039;s intelligence.

Rather than smearing Democrats by association, as you hoped, you only exposed your own vapidity and desperation tactics in your quest to divert America&#039;s attention from monumental Republican failures.

Keep trying, Glenn, et al., there&#039;s plenty out there to distract your listeners from the conservative tsunami of incompetence and selfishness that you so ably exemplify.</description>

Aren’t you the “same” (pun) guy who just the other day told me you’re content to personally attack any and everyone, even if it violates site rules… that is, you’re content to do it until you get caught?

And now you’re saying something about my “style,” and expect anyone to take you seriously?  Really?</description>

I was responding to the point where you said why did Dems elect Massa in the first place.&lt;/i&gt;

Hmm… in that context, that’s not a bad point.  However, Blue Dog or not, he’s still a Democrat, so –and this is my bottom line– all this talk from the band of regular around here who seem to forget that this is “their” party’s problem, is nonsense.  Apparently, as has already been shown, if it’s a scandal, some are all too happy to say “it’s the Republican’s fault,” even when it’s a Democrat who has been caught.

&lt;i&gt;Scandals like this happen to both parties.&lt;/i&gt;

Couldn’t agree more.  That’s why it’s so ridiculous when someone… ON EITHER SIDE… says this is “typical” of one or the other.  It’s all about power… not politics.

&lt;i&gt;The tea party has been saying that Bush was much more of a democrat than a republican.&lt;/i&gt;

Eh… I think they’re argument is more along the lines of, “We didn’t like what he was doing either,” than about political parties.  They’re more on the “traditional” side of the political spectrum… so Bush disagrees with their philosophy as well as Obama.  I’m not sure they’re trying to make Bush a Democrat, just suggest that Republicans aren’t going to get a free pass in their group.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t get the chance to see it tonight, and I will take Beck&#039;s advice.  I will not comment on it as I did not see, unlike most on the left commenting however.</description>

		<description>Debating with Ted is like flipping a coin with Ted… heads he wins, tales I lose

INB, did you just figure that out?

INB – since when do you debate?

Ted, since when do you debate?  What you do is called drive-by smearing, usually without any facts to speak of.</description>

		<description>@ted:  I&#039;ve had many good discussions with INB.  I find it works best when we avoid using stereotypical words and calling the other side crazy nuts.</description>

I never pretended he was not a democrat; but that doesn&#039;t mean I would have voted for him.  I&#039;m not a fan of blue-dog dems as I think they are just trying to do whatever is politically convenient to stay elected to office.  I was responding to the point where you said why did Dems elect Massa in the first place.  Its clear that in that district, no single party has the majority of the population and the districts goes back and forth between parties.  He pulled more independents than the republican did.  

Scandals like this happen to both parties.  I really could care less about his sexuality, or anyone else.  What I do dislike is when elected officials are hypocrites and lie to their constituents.  I also am not a big fan of sexual harassment which in this case seems pretty clear that something happened.  This isn&#039;t the first time scandal has happened in politics and its not the last. 

As for passing him off to the other party, I don&#039;t think I am.  However, if people are--well that&#039;s convenient for them to do.  It would not be the first time partisans did this though.  The tea party has been saying that Bush was much more of a democrat than a republican.   Its stupid I know, but when people are blinded by partisanship then they will find any reason to justify passing a dishonored guy off as an outsider.</description>

Come on, Marcus... you&#039;re better than that.  The guy was a Democrat, and part of the Democratic majority.  Besides, I thought the Democrats were the &quot;big tent&quot; folks, so it shouldn&#039;t matter if he was &quot;moderate&quot; or &quot;far-left.&quot;  He had a &quot;D&quot; after his name... he is, was, and will be remembered as having served as a Democrat.

Just because he’s involved in a scandal, doesn’t mean you can pass him off to the other party.</description>

INB – Massa is a nut, so technically that would make him one of yours.&lt;/i&gt;

So, even though he&#039;s an elected DEMOCRAT... according to you, this is a Republican problem?  Wow!
