I am curious are all of you opposed to the message or is it simply that you hate the messanger?
so then IRA i guess you are saying that there is no redemption for anyone that has a substance abuse problem and they should all simply be discarded or again is it just your hatred for Glenn Beck that makes him worthy of this hes and alcolhic so why should anyone care what he says?
You have to start paying better attention, but I guess this is a common Conservative fault. It must be in the genes or something:
Where did I, or any other liberal here, positively comment on Al Sharpton? Or Jesse Jackson, who I think is just as bad? (Probably worse, because he mostly works under the radar.)
So, the fact that you think I support the above racist opportunists (which I don't), combined with the fact that you support the racist opportunist Beck, leaves us where?
It leaves us with the fact that one of us in this post seems to support racists, while the other doesn't.
And yeah:
I would say that the fact that Beck was nothing more than a Morning Zoo DJ, and Limbaugh never even graduated college, makes them kind of unworthy of any serious attention.
Like Palin, but again, you Conservatives just keep making the same mistake over and over again:
All anyone has to do is mutter "God" or say something negative about Barak, and you're there for their cause like white on rice.

Two points about this:
1) Do you categorize intolerance of others as conviction?
2) Do you really believe that the U.S. has been reformed by Protestants, and if so, exactly how? I ask as far as modern day goes, because there's a big difference between the whole of Protestant groups in this country and those Protestant organizations supposedly speaking for all of them.
