    But, but, but, his ratings were falling! Mediaite said so!

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    It was a great show that all teachers and school children should be made to watch.

  • The Real Royal King

    Good for Glen(n). 0.6% of Americans watched him.

    I’d rather watch your show, Blower, but I can’t find what channel it’s on.

  • Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers

    Blower,
    Has Glenn Beck given an explanation for why his supporters on Texas Board of education is attempting to remove the term “slave trade” from the history books and downplay the role slavery had in the civil war?

  • writer

    The King was obviously part of that 0.6%.

  • notsofast

    Ha! A 5PM show’s ratings more than doubles KO’s prime-time show!

  • writer

    Beck 2101, Olbermann 990, Maddow 832. King, if you’re wanting to laugh at small ratings, you’re leaving out the best targets.

  • Bootleghaircut

    AWESOME BECK

    this is the kind of thing that drives the racists in the GOP crazy like when you appologized for attacking Obama’s kids!

    Keep it up Beck-discussions like your put the racists back in the closet.

    BRAVO AND GOD BLESS

    But, Righter, pickled herring to pickled herring and valises to valises, please. Using your comparisons of animated cartoon characters and stand-up comedians, 12 times Glen(n) for the former; 4 times Glen(n) for the latter.

  • writer

    King, you mean the way when anyone mentions CABLE NEWS OUTLETS, you always start in comparing them to CBS and NBC and the entire population of the country? Is that what you mean by comparing like to like?

    “A few years ago, he (Obama) would be serving us coffee.” — Bill Clinton

    “He ( Obama) couldn’t sell watermelons to….” Dan Rather

    “See, Barack’s been talking down to black people … I want to cut his nuts off.” Jesse Jackson

    Bill Maher on how he expected BHO to act with BP: “I was expecting a “real black president”– you know, the kind that “lifts up his shirt so they can see the gun in his pants.”

    LOL- you pathetic dbag lib!

  • The Real Royal King

    No, we’re playing on your field now, Righter, and we’re using your comparison of Glen(n) to a cartoon character and a stand-up comedian. By your own standard, Glen(n) failed. Your rule here, no mine ….

    Poor, king- few want to watch his mentor, KO.

    so sad.

  • writer

    Again, King, what’s your point? Yeah, I compared Beck commenting on someone’s kids to Family Guy and Dave Letterman doing the same. And I said all were out of line for doing so. If this is a ‘gotcha’ moment for you, I’m not seeing it.

  • The Real Royal King

    Not me, NSF. I dislike Olbermann more than Hannity.

  • notsofast

    What the real story of this special was that the libs watching it said, “What is he talking about? Blacks can only succeed if we libs help them. They are incapable of succeeding on their own.”

    Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers, I use my real name to attack people and call them racists, why don’t you?

    You should have watched the show and see what he did about black history. The Texas Board put the black hero’s of the Revoulition back in the books.

    I think Beck gets a bit over the top at times, someone needs to. But his teaching of American History is something we all need to reflect on. Yea I know, lot of smart fellers commenting here, and obviously they would never need to reflect on anything, but What Beck showed me is beyond any thing anyone chose to teach me.

    I once few a bow hunter to Whitehorse Canada to meet his guide and outfitter.. I had some time, and this hunter’s camera guy and I made it to the museum. Besides the animals, I found the people that helped settle those parts of Canada. It was a shock to see how many were Black. Great men, but why were we never taught this…I suppose for the same reason American History left out so much of it. You all know why right. Liberals have an agenda, they have a perceived view as to how things ought to be. And anything that conflicts with that, (those would be facts doing the conflicting) they will scrub from the face of the earth if possible…Way to go BECK Wake up a liberal and lets all get spit on.

    Look at what the libs are trying to do now:

    Black lawmakers push to cut back new ethics office

    WASHINGTON — Nearly half of the members of the all-Democratic Congressional Black Caucus want to scale back the aggressive ethics procedures that Democrats trumpeted after gaining control of Congress.

    Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, and 19 fellow black lawmakers quietly introduced a resolution last week that would restrict the powers of the new independent Office of Congressional Ethics. The office, formed by Congress in 2008, is run by a panel of private citizens.

    Since its inception, the office has investigated at least eight black caucus members, including veteran Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y.

    Glenn Beck doing an African American Founders Special is like Adolf Hitler doing a Great Jews In History Special.

  • Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers

    Blower the Youtube video star:

    So that is how you honor history, by finding a couple of black slaves who fought against the British, not mentioning more blacks fought for the crown than they did for the colonies.

    P.S.
    You and your conservative friend’s attempts to whitewash history reminds me of what Vladimir Putin is doing with Russian history books in regards to Stalin. There is no way the racist teabaggers in this country are going to sweep the deplorable conduct of their forefathers under the rug.
