Inglis said the rhetoric also distracts from the real problems that politicians should be trying to resolve, such as budget deficits and energy security.

It's true.
Obama's citizenship conspiracy, the New Black Panther crap, Obama's lack of patriotism, smears of socialist...all get more coverage than more serious issues among these Republicans.
Is that a good thing? All we hear are jeers and adolescent nya nya nya from the Stephanies.
mmmm...I bet...guess you'd like to kill some cracka's while your at it huh? Would you like to take out some cracka babies?
BP Party is waiting to sign you up...all you need is black clothes, black nightstick and a whole hell of a lot of white hate....
What on god's earth are you going on about? Not liking Beck = I must be black? That's an entertaining stretch.
I never said you were black...but you do seem to have a taste for the violence against a white dude. Seems to be a lot of that going around.
I know the panther thing is embarrassing and doesn't do ANYTHING toward a positive spin for the left....and then there's the connection between the BP's and the president, but sometimes, the big nasty pill of truth has to be swallowed.
blaa blaaa blaaa.
here's a clue, don't friggen listen to him.
simple as that, eh.
Wow, you're really starting to bring the facts and evidence like I've never seen before. You're starting to convince me.
Steph, I keep telling you to stop embarrassing yourself. It didn't take this poster long to get that you are a no nothing idiot.
God I'd like to cave Glen Beck's duplicitous face in.

That's the logic of the bagheads. I have been told so many times that I am black. It cracks me up. I'm as white as the driven snow!!
Glenn Beck's 'demagoguery' threatening Republican party, says veteran GOP lawmaker - CSMonitor.com
He cited a claim made famous by Palin that the Democratic health care bill would create "death panels" to decide whether elderly or sick people should get care. "There were no death panels in the bill ... and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership. It's not leadership. It's demagoguery," said Inglis. Inglis said voters eventually will discover that you're "preying on their fears" and turn away.
Inglis' refusal to join in on the Obama-bashing of the far right played a big role in his landslide defeat on June 22. Leading up to the election, he frequently challenged voters who questioned the president's citizenship or patriotism. At one town hall meeting, he was jeered for saying that Beck, a Fox News Channel host, is a divisive fearmonger. In his primary runoff against prosecutor Trey Gowdy, Inglis failed to break 30 percent, an improbably low result for a sitting incumbent not embroiled in scandal.
Instead of citing sour grapes, how about giving credence to the fact that he can speak freely now without worrying about how it affects an election.

As a "white dude" I find Beck dangerous.

Why for uncovering the real truth of what's going on? Exposing revisionist History as practiced by this Government? For championing true Liberty?
That kind of dangerous?
Are you kidding? Glenn Beck is dangerous because he actually LIKES NEW YORK CITY and makes no secret about it... anyone that crazy needs to be either locked up in Leavenworth or vaulted to the top of the NYT best seller list, whichever comes first.Why for uncovering the real truth of what's going on? Exposing revisionist History as practiced by this Government? For championing true Liberty?
What was anyone thinking by questioning Obama's patriotism?

oh brother, another one.
what's with the hardon for me tonight.

oh brother.
him blaming his loss on the people of this country (tea party) and talk radio show host, show what a loser he was and he was kicked to curb for it. People are tired of these condescending politicians.
He didn't blame his loss on anything.
This article was about his comments on the state of today's political commentary.
So how was he a "condescending loser" who should've been "kicked to" the "curb"? Because he didn't doubt Obama's citizenship and/or patriotism?
Is that really where you want America's dialogue?
What is sad is that is the only "dialogue" he is focusing on. He doesn't dare mention the other 99.9 % of the content from Beck or Palin or any of the other hated rightwing voice boxes.
I wonder if he would have the same opinion about Matthews or Olberman? Speaking of Olberman...can he be any more off line? He goes on the offense against Sharon Angle the other night claiming she is wrong about her claim that Abe Lincoln lost a few elections in his time...he was so proud of himself to point out that he only lost one...according to KO....
Ahhh....but as usual, the world according to Keith isn't always (hardly ever) on the level...
As it turns out, Mr. Lincoln suffered quite a few losses in his political career.
Alas for Keith, who apparently relies on some crackpot if unmentioned website as opposed to checking with, say, the works of Pulitzer Prize winning Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg, Ms. Angle has the goods:
Here's Lincoln's record with voters, per Sandburg:
1832 -- Lost his first race for the state assembly
1834 -- Won a seat in the state assembly
1836 -- Won re-election
1838 -- Won re-election
1840 -- Won re-election
1842 -- Lost a race for Congress to John Hardin (per biographer Sandburg. Lincoln actually came in behind a friend, Edward D. Baker -- losing his own Sangamon County delegates to Baker. Later, he would name one of his sons for Baker). Lincoln structures deal that Hardin, Baker and finally himself would each serve back-to-back single terms in Congress.
1846 -- Wins congressional seat, succeeding his friend Baker, who had succeeded Hardin. As per the Lincoln deal.
1854 -- Elected again to the Illinois legislature, but loses a race for the United States Senate to Lyman Trumbull. Writes to a friend: "I regret my defeat moderately, but I am not nervous about it." Mary Lincoln was so enraged at this loss that she never again spoke to Trumbull's wife Julia -- who had been a bridesmaid at Mary and Abe's wedding.
1856 -- Loses the vice-presidential nomination of the new Republican Party to William L. Dayton, a former U.S. Senator from New Jersey. Dayton received 259 votes to Lincoln's 115, becoming the running mate of John Charles Fremont. Hearing of his defeat, Lincoln laughs and says, "It must be some other Lincoln."
1858 -- Lincoln loses a race for the United States Senate to legendary rival Senator Stephen A. Douglas. In the course of the campaign, the two travel Illinois in what are known to history as the "Lincoln-Douglas" debates. The debates help make Lincoln -- and his pro-union, anti-slavery argument -- famous.
1860 and 1864 -- Elected and re-elected president.
In other words, Keith Olbermann was not only wrong but so wide of the truth and the facts as to give Bill Clinton on Monica a good reputation. Sharron Angle, on the other hand, was right. Making her remark 100 percent factually correct
All that to say this....
If you're going to blast someone's credibility...make sure your side has some....
What was anyone thinking by questioning Obama's patriotism?
I don't understand why you are showing a picture of Obama singing along to the "Star Spangled Banner"?
Now Bush on the other hand, either he wears his heart low, his aim is bad, or he has his hand in a place that shows what he thinks of this country.
