Hello Gal:

I didn't get any farther than, "Glenn Beck has done further investigation and is tying the bank to radicals in government, government officials, specific groups, individuals, and major companies and banks in what he has dubbed “Crime Inc. “

There are those people who think Glenn Beck walks on water, and there are those people who think he's dangerous. Count me among the latter.

PS> By the way, the article was written by "Bridgette". Why didn't she give her last name? Embarrassed??

I don't know about Bridgette.

Did you read any of the other names associated with the bank in question?

Do you think there is a "carbon stock exchange" in the offing?

What a rip off!

You seem to be shocked that you AGREE with Chuck Norris. Why are you not willing to read the whole article? You might be surprised yet again.

People that dislike Glenn Beck... think Dan Rather was a visonary and think those faked documents he got fired over defending were actually real.

And worse , believe the left never ever invents facts, spins stories or spreads False propaganda.

They also tend to think Obama is the Messiah, and as their prophet they believe without question anything he tells them to believe. Even when it contradicts the facts that are right in front of them.

And while Glenn Beck doesn't walk on water for certain... neither can Obama.

Glenn Beck isn't dangerous, exactly WHAT power does he possess over the nation as a commentator?. Obama most certainly is a tremendous danger to the nation. He has ruined the economy and is set to drive us into a depression with his pro lazy bum and anti-worker and anti-business attitudes. Spreading the wealth as his agenda is never works... and it proven to fail in every incarnation of socialism that has ever existed on this planet. Lazy inner city bums never create jobs, unless you consider corner drug dealer, Meth cook or prostitute jobs you want. Rich people are who create and build businesses that DO hire people.

Shorebank was shut down by the FDIC yesterday .

Glenn Beck isn't dangerous, exactly WHAT power does he posess over the nation as a commentator?Hello smoothy:

Ask, and you shall receive.

Beck has hosted, and even occasionally praised, a renowned white supremacist, a devout southern secessionist, a defender of slavery, and a 9/11 skeptic.

On October 4, 2007, for instance, Beck had on his CNN/Headline News show Michael Hill, the founder and president of the League of the South, and Thomas Naylor, a secessionist who is head of the Second Vermont Republic.

Hill's League of the South (LOS) group is a decidedly white supremacist organization, arguing that the "Anglo-Celtic" culture of the South must be protected and insisting that "white men" must "shed the guilt heaped upon them by their opponents and defend their interests." The group has questioned "what sort of ammunition is being given to black 'racists' by the media's skewed coverage of interracial crimes." Hill himself has been quoted as saying, "Let us not flinch when our enemies call us, 'Racists;' rather, just reply with, 'So, what's your point?'''

Hill wasn't the only Beck guest with LOS ties. Beck has also given airtime to Tom Woods, a historian and economic theorist who was present at the group's founding. In his book, "Politically Incorrect Guide to the American History," Woods wrote that "strictly speaking, there was never an American Civil War.. He said it's more accurate to name it the War for Southern Independence, or the War for Northern Aggression.

Beck is a racist and a secessionist. You are a good Beck man. Your post above clearly reflects that. Those qualities are a danger to the nation.

PS> Sorry for the hijack, Gal. But, smoothy's post demanded a response.

He asked about power... not influence. From what I hear ,Beck speaks from a semi-libertarian position ,something that might appeal to you( setting aside your charge of racism because he happened to have guests on his show that are racists.)

There are many things in Hill's book that are historically questionable . Then again ,many history text approved for use in the public schools are loaded with fractured fairytales passed off as fact.

Getting back to Smoothy's point. There is no real power Beck or Rush or Hannity or Olberman or Madcow or John Stewart or Steve Colbert have on the American public. But the decisions of the President have an impact on all of us.

There is no real power Beck or Rush or Hannity or Olberman or Madcow have Hello again, tom:

There are some who think Beck and the limp one foment violence. Hmmmm. I wonder who they could be talking about??

I will host a Bar-B-Que party in honor of any person that takes down any Mosque thats built on that site IF any is built.

Shorebank like a phoenix will arise again under the name of Urban Partnership Bank .This will be a consortium of investors in Shorebank including Goldman Sachs Citigroup , Morgan Stanley Wells Fargo and The MacArthur Foundation(round up the ususal suspects).
The FDIC is going to eat some of the losses that the community activist Shorebank accumulated by making terrible lending decisions in real estate .The FDIC's insurance fund will lose $367.7 million in the deal .

So again public money is going to be used in a bailout to protect GS et al.

I suspect the Government Motors model will be used here. The toxic assets will be absorbed by the government ,allowing the big investors to play monopoly with what's left. Soon to come will be that announcement of another bailout success story .IPO to follow .

Well, YOU want to allow a Terrorist Memorial in NYC... because its only about 3,500 miles from YOUR back yard.

Incidentally... If your background IS as you claim it was... you would understand a little thing called payback for someone that tried and failed to kill you.

I'm not Jesus Christ... I don't believe in turning the other cheek.

Unless there is another person on this board that actually walked out of the Towers that day, or the Pentagon after the attacks (or shortly before)... then not one sole here has a greater right to their poiund of flesh...

Off thread again, but what else is new?

The above accusations are SOP for liberals.
Any criticism of their heroes is based on hate or racism.
It is sooooo much easier to demonize your opponent than it is to refute his argument. No?

Thanks, Tom, for the update on the question.

Jee, coming from two people that know what that really means...

Basically those who hate anything the majority of American likes... who are NOT at all like the San francisco Liberals.

I'm sure I can find lots of glowing comments about for example... Sarah Palin as one example.

Women's lib'ers forget their convictions to Bash a woman that's NOT a lefty.

excon So where do you stand on reperations for Blacks who MIGHT have had a ancestor that was a slave many generations ago?

Why don't they think they are entitled to reperations from those who captured and sold them into slavery... IE fellow Africans and blacks?

If say... you were targeted by a fictitious Gay women's Islamic Militia...

But they missed you and killed a bunch of people near you.

Are you not entitled to compensation...

If not then why are you entitled to monitary Damages if THey simply wrote in a newspaper that they had you over and you damn near changed them over to Judaism... and Polygamy when if fact you did no such thing?

If you have actually read my threads in the last week you would know my involvement in the First Gulf War.

Okay... You all may solve the problems of the world. This is your thread.. so goodbye

Okay....You all may go ahead and solve the problems of the world. This is your thread.. so goodbye

I may not have the answers to all the problems of the world (never claimed I did)... but more than a few have fairly simple root causes that would lend themselves to simple answers IF it wasn't for the entitlement mentality of many, and worse, the pandering to that bunch by politicians.

Example... stats show that roughly 38% of the population pays no Federal income taxes now, yet this same bunch whines and crys about tax cuts to people that actually DO pay taxes in the first place, Unlike them.

What's wrong with a flat tax... except that the 38% gettig a free ride now would have to pay their fair share.

How about penalizing Hollywood and taking away all the tax breaks they get, and all the Fuzzy math they use to hide profits... it similar in the Music Business, ask any actor or musician. How about applying the same standards they point at "Big Business" and "The Rich". But then... why should THEY pay the same share the rest of us pay.

A point NEVER discussed by those crying About Arizons attempt to control Illegals.

THe left crys about their INS status being checked at traffic stops, but conversely its OK to run checks for outstanding warrants for other crimes etc... on US citizens at ever traffic stop. Yes they do, why do you thing it takes 20+ minutes to get a simple ticket, why are illegals getting special treatment the rest of us are not exempt from.

Simple... no drivers license = Jail TIme, Illegal = Jail time and immediate deportation,

Hospital costs through the roof. Most of the ER patients are uninsured illegals. Don't treat them, the ER is for AMericans that prove residency or tourists with legal papers or have insurance.

Schools... Fairfax County VA schools budget is 28% higher than it needs to be do to Illegals children. Toss them out... and save a bundle.

Welfare = IS paid to illegals... thats wasted tax dollars.

Sanctuary Cities... charge and arrest the politicians that are aiding and abetting a crime just like a look out or driver at a Bank Robbery. There are Laws, politicians don't have the right to pick or chose what they want to enforce at that moment.

Result no more incentives for illegals that will go home or forfeit all assets in the USA when caught.

DO that and you make a BIG step twards balancing the buget and ending the entitlement mindset too many people grow up with.

Old people did Earn the right to SSI and Medicare... they spent their lives paying into it when that was 14% of their income they could have saved for retirement otherwise. They didn't waste that money, Politicians did... who strangely enough, feel entitled to THEIR retirement. Being FAT and lazy should not be a disability that earns SSI benefits.

I'm pro union strangely enough... but government and public service workers should NOT be unionized... (including teachers)
