A few weeks ago, Rupert Murdoch said that Glenn Beck was right when he called Obama a racist, and since then he has been dodging questions about what ...
Before we contacted the Harlem Gospel Choir about Glenn Beck, they didn't know much about him. After learning more about his history of race-baiting, the choir quickly canceled their appearance with him.
Words have meaning, but the Beltway press is in the process of stripping "populism" of its descriptive value as pundits and reporters continue to misu...
Maybe uncivil discourse is the price we pay for freedom of speech. Better uncivil discourse than no discourse at all.
If I were in the White House, given the overall situation and the extraordinary security lapses of this first state dinner, I would be sending some folks to guard snow plows in Antarctica this weekend.
I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to address this subject, but an etymological battle in Washington seems to have just been stirred up further, mea...
Using his "latest-book" tour as the field test for a new identity, Beck proposes to transform himself into full-fledged political activist.
Glenn Beck. Who is this guy? A "Morton Downey Jr" hopped up on drugs? A crazed, reactionary "Howard Beale"? Should we get our shorts in a bunch o...
Let the games begin! Now that Oprah Winfrey has officially decided to end her talk show the race is on to find her daytime replacement.
So what was Glenn Beck's big, massive, history-altering announcement? Is he running for office? Founding a PAC? Setting up a third party? No, no, and...
As Obama contemplates a new strategy for Afghanistan, he should consider integrating the conservative values of fiscal discipline and limited government into his foreign policy decision-making.
A few years ago, writing about the book business and how dumbed down and craven books had become--and pathetic, designed only to sell and then not sel...
For some, Tea Parties are a reaction against a floundering Republican Party. For others, Tea Parties are a Republican Renaissance.
Lots of people on the right and left agree about the problems with the bailouts and the White House has no answers for them. How do you think that will play at the polls?
Misrepresenting what I said during an appearance on Countdown this week, NewsBusters claims that I'm trying to deny Glenn Beck his "constitutionally protected free speech." Wrong. What I said is that words have tremendous power -- they can inspire and they can incite. There's a reason you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater. But even though Glenn Beck is shouting "fire" in a crowded, anxious country, I specifically said that the right response to his steady stream of lies, hate, and race-baiting -- all served up with a not-very-subtle undercurrent of violence -- is to put unrelenting pressure on his advertisers and his bosses. Pressure works. CNN dropped Lou Dobbs. I'm actually of two minds when it comes to Beck. Part of me resents spending even a second of my life thinking about him. But part of me recognizes that he's too dangerous to ignore.
Beck has become a celebrity and the source of much personal conflict for me. On the one hand, he's a legitimate, 'out' ADHD role model. In addition, the condition seems to contribute heavily to his success.
Last Wednesday, a media firestorm erupted after a seventeen-year-old girl named Jackie was interviewed by MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell while standing in line during Sarah Palin's Michigan book signing.
Beck is simply the hottest ticket item on the national scene now, and for that he can thank progressives, liberal Democrats, and through the backdoor, President Obama.
Obviously, unless sometime between now and 2012 there occurs a rip in the space-time continuum and the country slips into an alternate reality, Sar...
If you ever needed proof that 26 percent of America is totally bat-guano out-of-their-freakin'-minds crazy, check out the new poll just out on Obama and ACORN.
