So, if Glenn Beck is fired by FOX, the world will end?

Give me a break, bigreb.

Wishful thinking on your part.
Your comparison to the Birchers is insulting...
to the Birchers.

He will remain as long as he is making them money and has an audience, and doesn't represent a challenge to management.

Olberwoman may have been the big draw at MSNBC, but the numbers were still appallingly small, and it has been reported that he was a huge hemorrhoid off camera.

If Glenn Beck leaves tv, chalk will lose it's 'cool' factor again.
It's clearly a conspiracy by the whiteboard manufacturers...I bet they gave the Democrats heaps of money!!
Grrr, they make me so mad!
Here are some more exclamation marks in support of Glenn Beck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact, can you really write his name without an exclamation mark?
Glenn Beck!
It's almost impossible.
In truth I can't even think his name without a mental exclamation mark.
Glenn Beck!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Anyone compared to the Birchers are smeared by the comparison. If Beck is fired, Fox certainly won't fall. Last week he had some very positive things to say about the quality of Olbermann as opinionist. Beck, in that sense, is a marketable and entertaining options, like Olbermann. Neither are guys I would listen to other than to laugh.

Only a comic can do Beck justice, the man is so far out there one wonders only at the educational level of his followers. If America is truly this historically illiterate any nonsense will pass as truth.

There are Republicans, there are responsible conservatives, and then there are those who call themselves Republicans and conservatives who listen to and believe Beck.

and jake is none of the above

Would egypt and the world be better off if the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge? That should be the question.

 

[signelect]

Beck is not going to be fired, he makes them too much money. He gets a little far out there and I am tired of his doom, gloom and disaster all the time. We still don't have leader or a plan on the Republican side so until we do quit complaining.

The Egypt uprising has raised the stakes for Beck -- and Fox. In the past two weeks, Beck has viewed events in Egypt through his own rather warped filter. He claims that the rebellion is not about the people, not about democracy. Instead, he says, it's a move by radical Islamists to take over Egypt, as part of a larger plan to install a caliphate that stretches from the Middle East through Europe and toward the United States. And he contends that "uber-leftists" and Islamic extremists are "plotting together" toward this end. Last week on his radio show, he declared, "Groups from the hard-core socialist and communist left and extreme Islam will work together because they are both a common enemy of Israel and the Jew. . . . Islam wants a caliphate. Communists want a communist new world order. They'll work together, and they'll destabilize. Because they both want chaos."

As Beck becomes increasingly unhinged and lost in conspiracy-land, he may well become a litmus test for the right -- and a measure of whether the leaders of Fox News care about any claim to respectability. Should Fox throw him out of the coop, Beck will still have a cult-like following that he can service via his syndicated radio show, website, and books -- and still make tens of millions of dollars a year. He won't crawl off to an undisclosed location. But he will no longer have the imprimatur of the right's main media outfit. And what better confirmation that the conspiracy is vast, oh so vast.

Glenn Beck: Should Fox Toss Him Out of the Coop?

What do you think? Will Fox finally dump Glenn Beck and his John Bircher craziness?

Let's not speculate because we may or may not dislike Glenn Beck. Let's do some investigation.

In a news report by the new york times we read that the Muslim Brotherhood wants to govern using the Islamic tenets

In Egypt, religion continues to be an important part of our culture and heritage. Moving forward, we envision the establishment of a democratic, civil state that draws on universal measures of freedom and justice, which are central Islamic values. We embrace democracy not as a foreign concept that must be reconciled with tradition, but as a set of principles and objectives that are inherently compatible with and reinforce Islamic tenets.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/10/opinion/10erian.html?_r=1

Now what are the Islamic tenets? After further review I found this

C. BOOKS (SCRIPTURES)...
1. "One of the central doctrines of Islamic faith is belief in all
of God's revealed messages, which now consist of four books:
Torah, Psalms, Gospels, and Qur'an."
2. "These four Books are to be regarded as Holy Scriptures, even
though the three Books preceding the Qur'an include certain
human imperfections."
3. "With the appearance of the Qur'an, the noblest of the Books,
these earlier Books, it is believed, were abrogated."
4. "...it is an article of faith that the purpose of the Qur'an is
to preserve original divine revelations by restoring the
eternal truth of God." (Qur'an 5:44-48)
5. "Since the Qur'an abrogates all earlier Books, its ordinances
continue to remain in force until the Day of Judgment..."
The Religion Of Islam - The Tenets Of Islam

After looking where they get there ordinances I found this

Some Statutes And Penalties Of Islamic Law

The Penalty Of The Thief

Some Ordinances and Laws of the Qur’an and Islam
Thousands of women, who have claimed to be rape-victims, are now languishing in jail or have their lives ruined even after being acquitted, due to trying them under zina bil Jabr of Hudood Laws. [Jahangir and Jilani, chapters III-IV] "No distinction has been made between Zina and Zina Bil Jabr (rape), resulting in it becoming an instrument of exploitation and oppression." [Niaz, 2001]
Article: "Rape and Hudood Ordinance: Perversions of Justice in the Name of Islam"

Not such a great idea for the PC people is it?

No offense bigreb, but what bearing does that have on office politics at FOX?

Thank you! I am one of the responsible conservatives and Republicans who don't listen to Beck as if he were a prophet.

Iran 1979 if you don't see it you weren't alive then

 

[JakeStarkey]

I was very well aware of it, and in a context of which you are unaware. Egypt is not an iman-driven madhouse with a Khomeini driving the bus wildly down the road. Anyone who pretends that such is the case is hitting the bong.

No call for an eagle claw here. I am far more aware of the insides of that even in 1989 then you will ever be aware. No Khomeini, no hostages, no Shah to dicker over. They are not the same, and you are being foolish to compare them.

Whatever they represent, it's not up to the United States to attempt to influence the outcome of the future leadership of Egypt. How would you like it if some foreign leader, an ally, told us that we'd be better off without the influence of the tea party?

The only thing the United States can do is sit on the sidelines and hope that whatever happens, it won't be the beginning of yet another hot spot in the region that has a severe global effect on our overall foreign relations and our economy. Our ace in the hole, however, is to stop all foreign aid to Egypt if it becomes a pro-terrorist nation.

That's an excellent point. In the real world, no one wants to hear ideological or empty rhetoric, embellishments and half-truths based on hatred of the opposing party (or its leadership). That's just propaganda. In the real world, people want to know if you have a plan.
