“:-))) These scam artists are using the gov't airwaves to generate MILLIONS of dollars of income every year. If they are going to "sell" miracle prayer cloths, miracle annointed wafers, annointed oils to heal all illness, etc etc, these modern day snake oil salesmen should have to pay income tax on every dollar generated through TV "prayer lines"!”

“Years ago, one of Robert's fellow TV evangelists Jimmy Swaggert had a GREAT FALL! He was caught in a hotel room with a prostitute.
The day after hs "fall", Swaggert's wife and son guested on the early morning Trinity Broadcast Network's program with Paul and Jan (sniff, sniff, cry.....) Crouch. Mrs. Swaggert told the Crouch's and their nationwide audience:
"I was directed to come here this morning by THE LORD! I was awakened by a bright light at the foot of my bed today and soon realized that it was Jesus! Jesus told me that Jimmy had fallen, because he had not been lifted up enough by his congregation. He instructed ne to come on this program and tell you all that if you DO NOT YET HAVE A 2nd MORTGAGE on your homes, he wants you to go out and get a loan to help lift Jimmy up in this, his time of need"!
I could hardly believe my eyes and ears! All through this con job, Jan Crouch with her 2 ft high platinum hair and 3 lbs of eye make-up held her trademark hankie to her eyes, crying! They all then prayed together that their partners would follow Jesus' instructions and help Jimmy!
All the money collected of course, on PUBLIC OWNED airwaves, was completely non-taxable!”

In 1991 they caught him receiving the attention of one Rosemary Garcia while driving his pickup truck down the road recklessly.
In each case, he appeared before his parishioners and cried "I HAVE SINNED!"
He is a cousin of singers Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley, a musical family all around. I personally knew Jerry Lee, he was a real Froot Loop, but Mickey Gilley appears to be a normal member of the family.”

“Glenn Beck was complaining on his program, a few weeks ago, how he needs to have 24 hour a day security and walls around his house! If anything tragic EVER happens to the POTUS, which is surely what Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Mark Levin and others are trying to accomplish with their non-stop domonization of Obama, these guys better have made arrangements to use the huge amounts of money they made for doing so to make a VERY quick escape out of the country, because security and walls will not protect them.
The people of this nation have not had their eyes and ears closed to the above group's daily admonitions that "Obama's goal is to destroy our nation and he MUST be stopped"! Sooner or later one of their followers is going to try to do their bidding, thinking he is doing his "patriotic duty".
Does Beck and his fellow "conspirators" not realize that, should that happen, the likelihood of their continued ability to exist here is basically ZERO?”

“Has the left forgotten that an actual movie depicting a fictional assasination of President George Bush, as he was the current U.S. President, may have planted sinister ideas into the minds of the far left loons? There are crazies in this country, both the McVeigh, Rudolph, Ruby Ridge, and Tiller's murderer types of the right, and the Lee Harvey Oswald, the Weathermen, and the Black Panthers of left. All have used violence to promote their agenda or causes. However, Freedom of the Press protects everyone these examples' right to free speech. Of course, it is not an absolute right. But to hear A. Huffington's claim that Glenn Beck is "shouting fire in a crowded fire," is entirely misleading. For those of you who actually listen to more than The Young Turk's, Jon Stewart's Olberman's, or Maddow's 20 second clips of Beck's radio or TV programs; you know that Beck has done nothing more than strongly, if not over the top, advocate for voting the current administration and Congress out of office. Glenn Beck, and every other political commentator have a right to free speech that is protected implicitly by the First Amendment. I enjoy hearing the left's point of view on many issues and from time to time agree on many issues. As a veteran of Iraq, I admire President Obama's careful examination of the situation in Afghanistan before committing troops that will be put on the lines.”

“This is a GREAT post! Thanks for all the quote info!!!!
Have you ever visited the Hannity website forum "Washington Politics"? I got "banned" from participation there for posting "Sean your a GREAT...EM BARRASMENT ! It's pathetic to hear you everyday auditioning to be George Bush's Monica Lewinski"!
Your quotes only serve to confirm my assertion. ..”

No, I have never visited his website forum.
I have pretty much given up on attempting to join any "right leaning" forum; for the same reason(s) you have given. While things "may" have changed, my experiences from years past were unsatisfactory.”

“On the day after Michelle Obama's elequent and moving speech at the DNC, in which she talked of their family values, their dreams for their daughters and her relationship with her husband, Hannity told his radio audience:
"Don't you believe it ladies and gentlemen! EVERYTHING that Michelle Obama said was scripted PURE HOLLYWOOD! Never forget that tis is an ANGRY BLACK WOMAN"!”

“"Hannity also incessantly lies to his listeners about the economy".
Right befor the Presidential election, Hannity told his radio audience:
"Ladies and gentlemen there IS NO FINANCIAL CRISIS in this country! This is ALL nothing but Barack Obama LIES... just his ploy to get elected"!”

“They are delusional! It NEVER WAS "their" country! What them obviously mean is that they want the black man out of "their" White House and "their" country and non-whites returned to where children of yesterday were expected to be "seen but not heard"!
Sooner hopefully, rather than a very painful later, those that recoil from the changing face of our nation that President Obama has mad so very obvious, will have to accept that this IS OUR nation and that "OUR" is on an ever hastening path to a true and irreversible muti-cultu ral/ethnic America.”

“And ultimately President Obama has MANY more VERY vocal people in our nation demonizing him AND his family, including one entire TV network and dozens of right wing talk shows doing nothing but, every day and every minute that they are on air.
JFK faced NOTHING like that during his Presidency and the resultant and very palpable hatred towards Obama grows daily because of it.
JFK pushed and seemed a beloved President, and still... what happened to him?”

“Hear! Hear! I have always said that the press or the "Oracles of Ignorance" (I borrowed that line) would take this President down, if we let them. And..that we needed to guard against them.
Yes, he has, what no other President has been faced with, an almost, if not down right treasonous cable network, whose clowns preach hatred toward Obama on a 24/7 basis and...endo rses and eggs on the tea party hags and Wyatt Earps of the far right fringe.”

“Actually, I think you're overemphasizing the difference. Kennedy had run serious afoul of many entities-U .S Steel, C.I.A., F.B.I., the Joint Chiefs of Staff and there were probably many who troubled over his "freer" lifestlye. No shortage of enemies. You are quite right to point out the extraordinary new surge of "haters" and the real obstacle and possible threat they represent. We all saw what happened anyway. I was 10. Two years prior, JFK was visiting to support a senatorial campaign, and he passed in his little motorcade, no more than 20 ft. away from the sidewalk outside the hall where my cousin was celebrating his wedding. Powerful moment, a lot of charisma, I'm embarrassed to say that he seemed to emanate some kind of brightness or something. ....He was a beloved President. The only day that compares to Nov. 22 is Sept. 11. Peace, and all the best Barak!”

“Uh no.....wer e YOU awake??? Our nation was polarized because of the WAR. Now we are polarized because we venomously hate each other dueto political ideologies and bottom line the pigmentation of the family in the White House.
The protests and division during the Vietnam War were indeed intense and even more overtly violent at times. The potential for current polarization to tear us apart makes the War era strife pale by comparison.”

“I guess it depends on your point of view. During Vietnam, I used to have to fight my way out of bars because I had long hair. People used to throw beer bottles at me and my friends while we picketed at the county courthouse. People I had never even seen before would come up to me and ask me if I was a girl, in spite of the fact that I wore a full beard. And many of my circle actively hated the government. That isn't the case, now. It's only the Republicans who are full of hate.”
