I found if more offensive that what’s her face not only couldn’t even sing The National Anthem, but made her Superbowl appearance looking like a cheap hooker. Next year, the committee might consider getting a grade school choir to do it, at least they would probably feel the honor in doing so. These crappy entertainment “stars” simply look at the thing as a gig, not as an honor.

Aguilara’s screeching while looking like a deranged hooker is bad enuf. Beck himself admits he’s a nerd and a geek who doesn’t know how to teach his kid softball.

But NorbitJr has the best comment. Obama’s crony capitalism is running riot across government, granting way over 400 “waivers” on his INSANE ObamaCare Ponzi scheme and doing everything to help unions and lawyers, or both at once in the scam NorbitJr points out.

Unions and Trial Lawyers own the Democratic Party, and Obama is the most corrupt POTUS since Clinton.

I feel the same way about the national anthem at such public events as I do prayer. They do no lend themselves to the proper respect and reverence. I see little reason for either at the Super Bowl, the Worlds Series, NCAA Women’s Greco-Roman Wrestling Champsionship or Oklahoma State Boys Synchronized Swimming Finals.

BTW, I was moved by William Gay’s tears and not at all offended by the players’ distracted air while the anthem was being sung. Leah Michele had done a SUPERB rendition of America the Beautiful and Aguilera’s skanky set was in stark contrast to Leah—so maybe they were offended by the rendition, not the actually anthem itself. Also, sheer nervousness at perhaps the biggest occasion in their sporting lives might distract them a bit from the civic pieties some of the more respectful people watching in Flyover Country are accustomed to observe.

i imagine when one does a daily radio show, they need to have a large variety of topics to discuss.

I find it funny when topics like these are discussed on beck’s show, which really just sound like a few friends shootin’ the sh*t, lead to stories and even *scandals* on mediaite, and MM, etc.

I gave up watching the Super Bowl, specifically, and Pro Football, generally, years ago, Paul. I can’t tolerate the commercials, the hype and the fawning announcers looking to kiss every owner’s and player’s derriere. High school and college football for me, or nothing. I gave up the NBA even sooner.

You might enjoy the neighborhood Pub, Summer Solstice, St. George’s and Virgin of Guadalupe parties, however. Ale, Sangria, Pimm’s Cup and Margueritas!

Paul says:

I didn’t exactly say that. Your post stated the R Party is owned by lobbyists like the Dem party is owned by the unions and lawyers. I’d say both parties have their share of lobbyists but only one party is owned by unions and lawyers. Would you agree with that?

While I am sure beck’s patriotism is at a high level since this country allows him, as an uneducated dry drunk coke burnout and wannabe failed shock jock, to get filthy rich in the fox sewer mocking the ignorant rubes who listen to him, he should know that National Anthem protocol does not call for holding one’s hand over his or her heart.

I recall the King crying his eyes out at one sporting event. It was years ago, and the late, great Kate Smith was doing her rendition of “God Damn America”.

While there seem to be plenty of special interests to go around…..it seemingly lends itself better to the cobbling together of “exclusive” groups for the Dems. And many of these groups seemingly have no use for the other groups. Many blacks I know resent the hell out of hispanic border crossers taking low skill jobs they could be getting. Most of the hispanics I know are Christian and don’t care for abortion on demand. Most non-vegan folks I know don’t much care for the loons at PETA. Many rank and file Dems I know are aghast at the antics of groups like ELF.

This was all painfully apparent last year when the waaaaay left had to bribe the moderate left to their way voting on ObamaCare.

BTW…….I don’t know anybody but lawyers and Dem politicos that like lawyers.

Fair enough Paul. I won’t try to convince you that there is a liberal media bias or that the unions rule the Dem party.

Thanks for that useful piece of information.

Many skip the hand on the heart because it is frequently used liturgically during the Confession of Sin.

At any rate, I think something was lost when we stopped giving the Bellamy Salute/

I agree with Beck. On an occasion as big as the Super-Bowl, you’d of thought they could have brought in a professional singer like the lady that sang “America”. It was rather embarrassing, knowing that people around the world were listening to what they thought is America’s best. Put her performance alongside that of Obimbo, and it’s not hard to understand why we have such a heavy burden to bare.

Not sure why they utilized performers popular with about 2% of the viewing audience for the national anthem and halftime show.

What an anal spray. You idiots are so fast to type up contradictory bullshit that you couldn’t think your way out of a paper sack. There should be a certain level of reverence and respect when you sing The National Anthem, it’s a very powerful song describing brave Americans turning back an overwhelming British naval force while defending Fort McHenry and Baltimore harbor. A person accepting the honor of singing that song before a sporting event should be respectful of the meaning, or decline the offer. You wouldn’t show up at a wedding in shorts and a t-shirt, and you don’t screech out The National Anthem dressed like a drunk whore and forget the words.

Picking someone with nice hair and makeup should take precedence over singing ability. Oh, and thigh size.

Actually I made ZERO generalizations. I made claims of empirical evidence from my own experiences. PERIOD.

I think the point that was made that you still will not except is that while special interests and lobbyists are the norm for both sides…….unions and “big law” (soley in retort to the use of big anything the right enjoys support for…..ie oil or pharma) give to few if any conservatives.

So while lobbyists abound for both sides and NEITHER will run them off Capitol hill anytime soon…….The left is the sole purview of unions and trial lawyers.

You continue to dodge her point. While there is plenty of evidence that lobbyists and special interests GIVE TO BOTH (somethin you seemingly wish to put all on R’s and ignore about D’s) there is little argument that BIG LAW AND BIG UNION give nearly exclusively to Dems.

Now you may find some obscure stat about rank and file lawyers giving part of their money to R’s…….but really.

It’s not the handful of individuals anyone bitches about is it paul?

It’s the HUGE money bundled by these nebulous outfits seemingly answering to no one but themselves.

You make an interesting point, with some validity, but the advertisers certainly seem to think those ascending to 40 are the key. The mistake, I believe, is to have a soloist at all. Surely, the anthem is mean to be sung by all. We made a most strange choice since our anthem is largely unsingable, but I think a nice, robust band would be preferable.

The above is 100% correct! As far as “Beck” and respect being used in the same sentence, NO! Who cares what this spin con thinks! Could it be that the players didn’t repond the way Beck wanted because they listem to him and his lack of respect for our highest office in the land and they followed his lead? To say the two don’t go hand in hand would make Beck the greatest hipocrite on “Fox” and there are many there! Your right there should be reverence for both!

“So the country that gives them the ability to make $10 million and to pursue their happiness in peace and safety is not worth putting your hand on your heart?”

I can’t believe it, Beck and I finally agreed on something.

Beck’s intolerance is the greatest insult to our American values and he revels in his ability to play the ‘patriot.’
He makes fools of his “sick, twisted, freak” audience. And he does so with glee. The man is a parody of patriotism.

Just a few people who would not only outperform Aguilar but are also men and women worthy and deserving of such an honor and national platform:

You’re repeating yourself Basil.

“It’s worth pointing out that Beck’s tone during his segment on the Super Bowl was one of mock anger, as opposed to one of real anger.”

Huh. How about that?

Beck: “So the country that gives them the ability to make $10 million and to pursue their happiness in peace and safety is not worth putting your hand on your heart?”

Ability is coming from country and not god? Oops, another in a long, long line of mental errors made by America’s most famous commoner. More interesting, Beck is telling people how to stand for the national anthem. I can’t wait until President Palin makes Beck the minister of patriotism. Then Beck will be in position to tell us all how we must behave instead of just the minions who absorb his every word and toe the Beckian line of proper behavior. Authoritarian much?

Is Beck on thin ice at the Fox Propaganda Channel? Probably not; they don’t seem to have any standards there.

In defense of the players, given Christina Aguilera’s performance, I think they may have not recognized that it was the National Anthem being “sung.”

“Opportunity” to make tens of millions would have been the better choice but unless we’re splitting hairs here, I don’t think anyone misunderstood what was being said. Of course, splitting hairs is the only thing some people have.

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by.

Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great,
Fought to make and to save the State:
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;

Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong land’s swift increase;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverent awe;

Sign of a nation, great and strong
To ward her people from foreign wrong:
Pride and glory and honor–all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

–Henry Holcomb Bennett

And that’s why it’s a damned shame that Americans have lost their reverence for the flag that represents all that is great about our country.

That’s a stretch, even for you. So if God placed me in a Jewish family during WWII, would I have the same opportunities as a Jewish person in 2011 USA? Your hatred for Beck blinds you.

You’re stupidity makes you an idiot.

Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off!

Thanks , Bogie . But not all Americans .

Can I get you a tissue big idiot..eh, eddie? Jesus, you whack jobs are assholes.

The most patriotic thing they could do is pay their taxes, and share it with the people and universities that help them make the millions they get for playing a game.

But empty symbols and gestures are more important to you teabaggers to show how much you love your country!

Didn’t we already use this argument Fox News with Obama back when he didn’t have his hand over his heart during the National Anthem? Etiquette says that hand over the heart suing the pledge of allegiance. Hats off are required at all times (Anthem & Pledge). Am I the only one who said the pledge this K-12th Grade?

symbols over actions, it’s easy to wave the flag or yell the pledge louder than every one else, but more difficult to dig deep and really stand behind your country, buy paying your taxes or helping the less fortunate citizens !!!

I count attacking others for professing respect to flag and country as an action. A symbolic one?

Sorry, didn’t mean to impose. While you’re at it, check out the post directly above yours. It needs your attention.

Why is this an either or proposition for you.

They are not mutually exclusive so what is your point?

I’m “blind,” but you’ve never heard of “god-given ability.” I know you’re not the sharpest tool in the audience of fools, but this is something that even you must have heard of. Your mindless love of Beck’s nonsense blinds you.

why was Beck offended? because they did not tear up at the national anthem and clutch their hearts enough.

Pablo said:
Here we go again. Can we do the Moonies today instead, valk?

Think about it. Glenn is questioning someone’s partriotism for not paying attention to the anthem, while believing, and teaching others, that our country is going to melt down because it is so bad. LOL.

Yea, well, you want to worship a flag but the duly elected President is an alien communist, Islamic, racist, undeserving of any respect.

United States Code, 36 U.S.C. § 301, states that during a rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

No, he was not offended by their not doing anything “enough” but rather that some were fidgeting and not even showing minimal respect.

You still haven’t answered my question.

I’ve seen combat veterans become emotional on such occasions so do you say the same about them:

“symbols over actions, it’s easy to wave the flag or yell the pledge louder than every one else, but more difficult to dig deep and really stand behind your country”.

At what point does showing your respect for this country subject to putting your hand on your heart when they play the National Anthem? Who the hell is this guy to tell me or anyone else that we’re disrespecting this country because we don’t make some hand-gesture. People under Hitler may have been forced to do that but, not here.

What if you do both? Mind you, I don’t like the way my government pisses away the money they confiscate from me but I do pay all the taxes that are due me. As for honoring the symbol that stands for everything that is great about the US, I take exception to those who reap all the benefits yet burn this symbol that enables them to enjoy their liberties. If you’ve got a problem with that, I can’t help you.

Mr. 0bama is merely passing through history. The flag IS history. As with all men, Mr. 0bama must earn my respect–thus far, he has failed miserably to do so.

The Confederate flag is history too.

So? The Confederate flag ceased to be a symbol of the Confederate States of America when the confederacy was defeated. The flag of the United States still represents its people–the people of all 50 states.

Beck has said that he doesn’t even like football, but now the reactionary standard-bearer of all things “patriotic” is going to tell athletes how then need to stand for the national anthem. Autocratic much?

It’s amazing how much Beck gets away with telling people, his “freedom loving” followers what to do, how to behave, how to dress, how to pray, etc.

There is an excellent analysis of how Beck manipulates his followers. It explains why they follow a liar, a hypocrite and a fraud. Of course, he is none of those things to them because he is a master manipulator of their emotions and needs. See:
http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2011/02/why-glenn-beck-isnt-crazy-and-millions.html

It’s possible that mainstream Republicans and conservatives will apply pressure to oust Beck from Fox because he is damaging the chances of the right to appeal to centrist Americans. You know, the people who readily graph that Beck is an ignorant fraud not qualified to opine on dog catching, much less anything as complex as world politics or football, that rough sport, Beck has opined, which is not played responsibly. Yeah, Beck knows so much about “responsibility.” The yellow in yellow propagandist denotes irresponsibility.

Again, you worship the flag, respect that unconditionally, but the duly elected president is treated with contempt. Before the civil war, the south argued 10th amendment rights, liberty, small federal government, no federal interference, all of that tea party stuff, before they betrayed the Constitution and waged war, essentially because they did not like the president.

That was then and this is now. While learning from our mistakes (and successes), we must live in the “now.” It is true that 10th Amendment rights were part of the argument made by those who held human beingsas slaves, and that argument was poorly founded. BUT, that one argument does not nullify the 10th Amendment; individual liberties and states’ liberties (extended to each state where the US Constitution is silent) are still–and should be–valid. A small (as possible) and unobstrusive (as possible) government promotes liberty; the opposite restricts it! As for that “tea party stuff,” these people are proponents of individual liberty and have not betrayed the Constitution. The betrayers of the Constitution are those who seek to ignore it. As for not liking the president, that is well within their rights! The important thing is to have adequate respect for the Office, and in my opinion, the Tea Party people seem uniformly to do so!

He should be worried. I don’t hate the man, I just don’t like what he’s doing to my country.

“He should be worried. I don’t hate the man, I just don’t like what he’s doing to my country.”

And I don’t like what Beck is doing to our country (not “my” country). It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil” too. I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.
