If you WATCH his very successful program that point would be painfully clear. If you do not watch his program you are missing something powerful.
Because of what sista wrote (very important quote) and more so, how it is written (without trying to make me feel stupid), I again try to get my point across. I openly admit that in many of my previous posts I would say anything once I felt angered or insulted. This is what Beck does to me. Yes that is totally wrong to do. It may be my Italian side. I also use my hand when I talk. Makes typing very difficult. I am not opposed to what Glenn says or even Limbaugh as much as I am opposed to how present it. You say watch Beck’s program and I do. I would like him quite well, as I agree with much of what he says. It is with my eyes open seeing his smirks and childish way of acting when he is talking about or referring to the left that I feel is done only to infuriate both the right and the left. I DISAGREE MOST WITH THE WAY THEY TREAT THOSE THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW THAN THEIRS. It could be more civil.
It is purely theatrical and, in my opinion does one good thing and two bad things.
Bad:
1. Further separates left from right.
2. Further divides minority groups from white groups.
Good: 1. Increases his ratings.
A few months ago, I was called a *%*$ when I said I voted Republican all my life until Sarah came on the ballot and I jumped parties. It is true. Now understand, I still agree with 80 % or more of the GOP Platform and only about 40 % of the DEM Platform. 90% of MS NBC is biased to the Left. I like O’Rilley and what he says almost all the time. He truly is the closest thing to fair and balanced on Cable. BUT, when I see the way, Limbaugh and Beck present their view, it raises my blood pressure. It sounds like a junior high student trying to start a fight in the playground. Now bear with me. If the Right would agree with me that they could tone it down and say the very important statements they make with a little civility and maybe kindness rather than in a way that would make the left feel different rather than stupid, I would be jumping back.
I understand that if I agree with 80 % of GOP views and 40 % of DEM views it seems simple that I would vote GOP.
There are hundreds of thousands of otherwise Democrat’s that vote GOP because of only one issue. Some are 95% DEM and 5% GOP but vote GOP because they are pro-Life and feel the GOP will help their cause with that one issue. So, if you can at least admit that Beck, Sarah and Limbaugh drive people apart in the WAY THEY PRESENT and you will have my respect and an ear that will be open to listen.

This administration does more "to drive people apart" that Beck,Palin and Limbaugh combined.
