What do you think about the book writer (Glenn Beck) now that he degraded Pres. Obama's daughter.Shame on him and his big mouth.
I never was very happy with him,now
I hate him for what he did.I hope he never returns to The Villages.

I think this belongs in Political Forum.

I agree. To smear an 11 year old, then make racist comments to boot, is just plain ignorant. He's right up there with that nutcase Ann Coulter. Why people listen to that junk is beyond me.

[Guest]

He is sick!

[Guest]

That's the m.o. for "entertainers" of his ilk.

No such thing as bad press.

Agreed it should be in Political.

Problem is there are lots of people that worship the guy and believe everything he says is the truth. He is dangerous. If you ever thought Music and Movies have an influence on our youth, then you would have to understand how Glen Beck's words can push a less stable American to become a domestic terrorist.

This absolutely belongs in political. I tried to Google this to see for myself if this is a big deal. Only quotes I could find were from "Media Matters". Sorry folks, I'll need more than what that outfit says before I believe this is an issue. I seem to remember the libs all were after Palin's kids and nobody got too hot under the collar about that. Let's see what the context was before we start calling out the dogs.

Palin who???

I would say he did not make fun of Obama's children, but made fun of Obama because he found it hard to believe that the daughter would knock on the bathroom door while her dad was shaving and ask "Dad, did you plug the leak yet?" I was under the impression that he was laughing because Obama expected us to believe that she really asked that.

even worse than Limbaugh if that's possible.

[Guest]

What an idiot!.....What does that say for the Villagers lined up to have their book signed?.....

[Guest]

I see we have unanimous agreement here. All progressives I presume?

I heard the whole skit, unlike many of you. Though in poor taste, it was funny.

Why does Obama insert his children into his politics?

I see this is going down the usual and expected path.

Hopefully before too long this thread will be moved to its proper location.

[Guest]

I won't be there!

First I agree this belongs in Political, and will reserve most of my comments for when it arrives there, but I suspect those who are filled with such hate and would listen to any/most of the political commentators need to remind themselves that you just need to read the papers and keep informed.

An internet radio station that by their admission is DEDICATED to this kind of stuff will for sure have this kind of stuff.

I will simply note that the apology issued was not mentioned and should be.

Now, why dont you folks who find this so exciting to talk about come to political and discuss the REAL issues...the deficit which continues to grow....the immigration problem...the oil leak in the gulf.

IF you in fact are concerned let us hear YOUR OWN opinions on issues and not the "National Inquirer" type stuff !

Not hard to visit there and voice your opinion !

[Guest]

And for those of you who enjoy this kind of stuff (WHY I will never understand), you should check out the Bill Maher video.....I find it as insulting as the Beck piece but will give you a link since you all seem to enjoy this kind of thing...

Although this is going down the usual partisan path, I don't think this is about politics.

Actually, I think it's about civility and kindness.

How would you feel if you heard two of your neighbors/co workers having a good laugh at the expense of your child/grandchild or just the kid next door?

No child should ever be the butt of a joke.

Have any of you watched Glen Beck on Fridays? You should. His Friday programs are an honest and positive education for his audience. You might learn something that you didn't know. I did.

I see more hate in the previous posts then I have ever heard from Glen Beck. I do not read the political pages here, and this post does not belong in a discussion about the villages. Please put this post where it belongs. I just had a good laugh over Skips response about Toojays. Then I made the mistake of reading this thread. UGH!!!! :censored::cus::boxing2:

Beck said some things a year ago. Things that his critics didn't like so they made the usual hateful personal slurs toward the messenger not the message.

Now that Beck's predictions are all proving true his haters are still trashing the messenger.

Debating with this kind of ideological nonsense is a waSte of time.

If you get the haters off Beck they will ONLY turn back to Palin or Bush or some other messenger.
