Beck inhabits the province of Eminem and Howard Stern--guys who say offensive stuff sometimes and get criticized for it. People respect them for that, on some level, and are entertained by it on others. The more criticism that comes their way, the stronger they get--it reinforces their personae. Publicly denouncing Howard Stern for being offensive has no effect, because that's who he is, and everyone knows it. When people blamed Eminem for school violence and the utter tragedy of Columbine, he turned it back on them by saying, basically, there are real problems here and you're blaming this on me? He's different from Howard Stern and Beck because his response was as much filled with cultural realism as it was with his own persona.

Yeah, theres no such thing as the Liberal media. Go after Glenn Beck for exposing Obama, but ignore the MSNBC host who claimed Conservatives want Obama to be killed.

I can't think of one offensive thing Glenn Beck said besides the 'racist' thing, and even that is small in comparison to what MSNBC has done over the past few weeks.

That said, sb, if I could only introduce you to the chair and vice chair of the Tulsa County G.O.P. and let you talk about the founding fathers with the lady chairperson for five minutes, I truly think you might start being a little more specific about which Republicans truly deserve the vitriol. For she is one Republican who truly is a prize... ;)

Be it a Party or a par-tay, it's the people who make it or break it.
