QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 09:55 PM) I watched Beck at CNN but haven't since he's moved to Fox, is he really that bad? haha yea, the show is totally different now.

Q needs to get it going

alright

bump

anyone get MLB 2k9? i'm thinking about buying it, even though i should know better.

I doubt Crede gets booed. I predict cheers, not jeers, for Joe.

2010 will be intersting, if the economy sucks and the GOP goes with some populist candidates they could knock off some big time dems. The Democrats are getting really corrupt and the bribes they have taken from the AIG's of the world could come back to haunt them. I remember 2004 was when the GOP supposedly had completely defeated the Dems, never to lose again. The Democrats were thought to be only going their base. Didn't really work out that way.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) i'm really not trying to connect that EXACT incident to Beck, but it's the fear that that guy had which is the exact SAME fear that Beck tries to incite. and yeah, i mean i see the inherent problem in my statement about libs/cons, but just because it's not fair doesn't mean there's not some truth in it. i modified my previous reponse to kind of address that issue. i don't think conservatives are more inclined to violence. there's a million different reasons a madman or terrorist will go on a killing spree and the vast majority of such killings are not politically motivated.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:08 PM) for the 18th time i'm not a pro-Obama guy. see my thread about wiretapping but at a basic level, i'm not fan of talking heads either. Olberman can be funny and have some good points, but i keep waiting for a vein in his neck to burst when he gets all worked up. I don't dig that. BUT the difference is that inciting liberals is not really dangerous... because we're already anti-gun. lol. inciting gun-toting republicans who are "terrified" of Obama becomes dangerous as we saw with the recent shootings... that's kind of the crux of my criticism. well that reply was to BigSqwert, who loves Obama i don't agree with the premise that it is ok to incite liberals, but not conservatives because by nature one is more dangerous than the other. blaming these shootings on Glenn Beck is fairly silly. The NY shorter wasn't some right wing guy, he was just crazy. this reminds me of when all the school shootings were being blamed on Marilyn Manson. it's madness. i would also be willing to bet the VAST majority of shootings and violence in this country are not done by people with an ideology that could be remotely linked to conservatives.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) That's pretty much how I feel about any of the people mentioned so far. I prefer news, not talking heads. They can go off like a tea kettle all they want, I could care less. There will be stupid people who worship these lunatics of course, from both extremes, but they were stupid to begin with so what has really changed? i agree there is always going to be the Glenn Beck's, Olbermann's, Ann Coulter's of the world. tying in 'possible cause of violence' as an excuse for book burning and limiting free speech is a wrong move.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) 9-11 conspiracy theorists did not host a prime time show on a major cable network. Rosie O'donnell was on a highly rated network show. Again, turn the channel. there is plenty of pro-Obama stuff out there to tide you over.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:54 PM) anyone see that video of the college student asking Barney Frank a question? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/200...er_economy.html My gosh, how is that loser Frank still in office? I'm sure that college student who asked Frank a "tough" question is a homophobe as well. how long until before mentioned college student is accused of inciting hatred and violence. how dare you question a Democrat!!!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) no he has not yet incited violence, but he IS inciting a high level of anger with absolutely ZERO critical analysis. Reddy, this is nothing new. GW Bush hysteria incited tons of anger with zero critical analysis. I was/am a GW hater myself, but I had good reasons. However, the crazy people with 9-11 conspiracy theories or whom were convinced GW was cloned from Hitler have the right to talk about before mentioned nonsense. You can turn the channel from FOX i assume? i would suggest doing so.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Because watching a borderline-crazy man inch closer and closer to completely losing his sanity on the air is solid entertainment? Chris Matthews has been doing it for years, and no i don't find it that entertaining. some people do i guess.

Glenn Beck is no more dangerous than Olbermann or whoever the Dem worshippers love so much. Any speech that you don't agree with isn't all of a sudden 'dangerous and needs to be banned'. I don't even like Glenn Beck, but you guys are getting kind of crazy about this. Just try to deal with people who don't agree with you.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 07:46 AM) I don't think its even possible for a bunch of villages to "secede" from Cook County, even if they voted to. The village is legally subserviant to the county anyway. The state would have to step in. they can leave, but the from what i've read it would take a vote in which the majority of people in cook vote for allowing them to leave. no way that happens, the city of Chicago would get a big vote out to keep the tax base of the burbs. the new county, if by some miracle happened, would also need to get new court buildings and stuff.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 11:59 PM) yeah I feel bad for Wise. It's like booing a woman every time she drives/green lol

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) Maybe they are tired of paying for public housing and county hospitals they they never even see? it's called spreading the wealth around, it's all good. seriously though, they are going to need a majority of cook county voters to support those townships leaving, which won't happen. but i certainly support them trying get out of cook, i sure as hell don't blame these townships. they are getting screwed.
