HLN hiring nazi racist bigot to put on another show
Looks like that christofascist is going to be on tv and spread more hate, and Turner is going to fund it. I thought Turner was on our side?

this makes me sick. We need to tell the turner broadcast corp we wont put up with his shit.

1. Glenn Beck is a Nazi?
That's interesting - what proof do you have of that?

20. I have listened to him.
I don't like him very much, if that's what you are wondering.

But that doesn't answer my question - is there proof that Glenn Beck is a Nazi?

25. Hmmmmmm
So your saying he's not a Nazi?

Saying peace at the end of your post is a way of saying the argument is settled, right? Kind of a condescending way of shutting down discussion. Does it usually work?

28. .
i never said he was a nazi, just a fascist brownshirt and if you listen to the prick i am sure you know that.

i type peace with every single post i've made from day one here because that is what i most desperately want.

why would saying peace lead anyone to believe i am trying to shut down discussion, i am here talking to you, aren't i?

peace

2. Unfortunately, Ted Turner has nothing to do with CNN anymore
this is a decision by AOL Time Warner

3. he's one of the worst
Every once in a while I hear him accidentally and I have to turn the dial fast before I start screaming "you F**ing liar!" at the radio. Not good for my blood pressure. Another reason to avoid the glass teat if at all possible...

4. "featuring Beck’s unique and often amusing perspective"
They've drunk the Kool Aid, they're all aliens, every one of them in the MSM. The 55+ demographic they are trying to appeal to hates fucking ConJobs. Stupid morons, let the chips fall, this klown will not be there long.

* Clear Channel radio host railed against Nick Berg's father, called him a "scumbag"

7. Here's a link to Headline News' general comments form. Let's remind...
...them of Beck's racist comments, made only yesterday.

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?33

Here is my email:

I am outraged that you are giving airtime to the racist, Glenn Beck. On Martin Luther King Day, Mr. Beck opined that it was okay for Jefferson to have had sex with his slaves because, back then, blacks were treated the same way we treat furniture, today. The comment was made during his rant about how great black people have it and how white people are the victims of discrimination.

Please do not give a microphone to this bigot!


By the way, here is a link to a thread on the racist remark that I cited.

11. my email-a little much?
I understand you are hiring Glenn Beck as a host on your network.Is this the same Glenn Beck who called katrina victims "scumbags"?The same Glenn Beck who wanted to see Michael Moore dead?The same Glenn Beck who said" you know, it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year."
If that's the case,the CNN has just dropped below zero in the credibility department.I would expect to see this kind of thing on Fox,but CNN?So,now you endorse racist,anti-American nazis?I will contact every one of your advertisers,and let them know exactly what I think of your "network".

12. Not at all
We have to make clear that they are defeating their own commercial interests by thumbing their noses at the at least half the population who is fed up with right wing spew

27. Your email would be "a little much," only if it weren't true.
Which means it's perfect. Let's keep kicking this and get as many letters as we can to CNN.

Here's mine:


Glenn Beck?? Are you kidding me? There is a reason I watch (watched?) CNN and not FOX -- it's to get away from right-wing nutjobs posing as newsmen and "objective" commentators. With decisions like bringing Glenn Beck onboard you are making it increasingly difficult, if not next to impossible, for me to tune into CNN or HLN. I don't want to watch bullshit parading around as "information" - I want to watch serious news, investigative reporting, and a fourth estate that challenges the powers that be in the name of truth. Instead I get an gasbag know for his inflammatory and racist hate speech. How far the mighty have fallen...you have officially entered the 7th ring of journalistic hell -- you disgust me as a news organization. And I will let my displeasure be known to any sponsor insane enough to buy time during Beck's broadcast slot.

19. HeadlineNews is neither
I actually used to like that goofy channel because anytime day or night you could tune in and actually get caught up on news.. Now it's just like all the rest..

canned "shows" are not "news"..

Even the weather channel does this now.. It can take 45 minutes of watching to find the weather you need..:grr:

The liberal media is dead to me.
