Oh brother, you two think she's an intellectual? Well, that's understandable
considering your lack of intellect.

Your claim that she does research is laughable when you claim that anyone on
the right just make things up merely because you disagree with their
commentary.

I had no idea, nor do I care what her sexual orientation is. When you say
things like "the right-wing" does something, you really should be prepared to
prove all of the right-wing does it.

I'd say he was rather successful having amassed $32 million this fiscal year.
He have a loving wife and loving children.

Of course, anyone on the left who has gone through similar life experiences
Beck has, you say nothing negative about as long as they stay on the left.

Beck has a large staff and several watchdogs who do intensive research for his
show. He has only had to correct himself once since he started his show.

 WC>> Excepting of course the short bits Jon Stuart makes sendups of.

 RS> A viewer of Keith Olbermann's show found a 1994 skit from the show "Kids
 RS> In The Hall," one of the players named Dave Foley did a sketch about the
 RS> "Communists," turns out to be dead-on Glenn Beck show prototype.

Olbermann can only dream of having the ratings Beck gets. In fact, Beck's
ratings are more than all the other cable shows on the left combined.

Of course, you'll just claim all those people are stupid or lemmings, or some
other disparaging names.
