a-rod actually he didn't get fired, the deal was he opted to go over to fox because he felt it was a better fit then CNN (don't think anyone could deny that). CNN opted to not continue airing his program during the last part of his contract so as to not give Fox free advertising and promotion. This isn't that unusual at all when someone switches networks, he actually still got paid even though he wasn't on air.

924x2150 if you think Beck is full of himself you might want to read or listen to Rush, tha man is so arrogant I wish he would go away as he gives real conservatives a bad name. Rush is NOT a conservative (although he tries to promote himself as just exactly that) he is a republican that will flip flop his position to accommodate the republican party, his is a hypocrite plan and simple. Also anyone that has to continually tell you how great and how smart he is, usually isn't.

When I am working I like to listen to Beck, and I like that he isn't a party hack and will call either side on the carpet when he feels they are wrong. I have also heard a caller make him reconsider his position and being man enough to even admit that your view may need to be looked at says a lot for the him IMO.

Hannity I just can't get into listening too, better then Rush but not much.

Rush had a point 15 years ago after that it was more or less lost.

Anyone watch the new show today? I didnt see it because I was at work, just saw clips of it off FOX with him talking to Palin and the border patrol agents wives. Hopefully there will be a re-run later tonight.

I watched Glen Beck on Fox yesterday and enjoyed the show.

I just wish he would come on later in the evening as this conservative is usually busy when he comes on the air now!

I recorded the show so I could watch it when I got home. It was a good show, he actually looked like he was getting emotional when he started talking about Sarah Palin being themother of a special needs child, and how he is the father of a special needs child. I think the show will do well, and eventually will be put into a later slot for those of us that are still working at 5pm!

MR. Stein (note correct spelling) was a speech writer for two presidents, a lawyer, and writer who has wrote several pieces on economics.

When I heard him foaming at the mouth and calling a pre election rally held here in the USA something that reminded him of the Hitler rallies in pre war Germany I was shocked. No politics here ,I just think hes crazy. Why would fox stand behind someone like this?

I dunno, maybe you should start a new thread about it on some far left idiotic website, where you would fit right in and drink lots of koolaid.

How weak an argument. Godwin's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It hardly ever works.

Don't get mesmerized by this guy, it might be better to read transscripts of his shows, rather than listen. Then u might see his message for what it is...just another entertainment show, and not the gospel truth.
don't let these talk-show guru's brainwash u. their power is scary, their facts are always skewed to promote their agenda's, whether they are pro-this or pro-that. If he indeed is going to Fox, that can only mean one thing, he is pro-conservative, and will try to force more conservative ideas into the gullible publics minds. He is the "friendly" version of Rush Limbaugh, and is usually heard on pro-conservative/republican, radio stations, with Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity.
One could just as easily say the same thing about the evening news,they too are skewed in there views! For the 12 or 13 years that Hannity and Colmes was on the air,was Colmes secretly trying to force conservative ideas into gullible minds?
Those who have chosen to "go to Fox" may just realize that they are getting a lot of viewers,and not just those right of center.....
