The "duh" in the title is because it has always seemed to me like CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck belonged on Fox News all along, because it seems to be more in line with his way of thinking and his viewpoints.Beck has signed a deal with Fox News Channel to host a daily show at 5pm (and a weekend show in the future). The deal has been described as "multi-year" and "multimillion-dollar." There have been rumors that Beck was going to eventually move to the network ever since he was seen eating with FNC head Roger Ailes. No word yet on when Beck will leave Headline News.
This will give Keith Olbermann more fodder for his frequent rants against Beck. Sure, he could do them if Beck was still at CNN, but it's probably going to be more convenient to have all of his targets (Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity) all in one easy-to-find place.
Personally, I'd rather see Nancy Grace leave Headline News than Beck. She annoys the hell out of me for so many reasons.

It's going to be the worst thing that ever happened to him, and I couldn't be more thrilled. On CNNHN, he stands out (for better or worse). On Fox, he will be just another shrill voice, but without the popularity of Hannity or the intelligence of O'Reilly (I hate the man with a fiery passion, but he occasionally can make a cogent point, unlike Beck). He will blend into the crowd, and significantly lower his profile as a result. Now we just need Dobbs and Nancy Grace to move over, and all of the ninnies and nincumpoops hosting cable news programs will all be in one place, the easier to ignore.

Ahh...smell the intolerance of the left!
And you idiots whine about the constant labels of socialist, hypocrite, hate mongers. Why are you constantly called these things? Because they fit perfectly.
Sitting there all smug praising the likes of Olbermann or Maddow and completely unable to see your own hypocrisy. Unable to even comprehend the fact that you're nothing more than a one-sided argument on two legs, you come off as pathetic, loud and ignorant. In other words: exactly as you are.
Omega is one of the worst as his blathering is not only hate filled, racist and intolerant, but plentiful. An ass more than willing to show his ass and blissfully unaware of how stupid he comes across.

I've never heard the term "hate monger" applied to the left. That, I was under the impression, is the province of the right.
And you realize the irony of your rant, I'm sure: by proclaiming all leftists under those titles, you just ensure that both sides are filled with individuals who are loud and obnoxious.
Is it possible that we don't like Beck for reasons other than partisan? Most left-leaning citizens will acknowledge (occasionally) that Bill O'Reilley made a decent point. And I, Democrat that I am, rather like Sean Hannity. But Glenn Beck is merely good at being annoying. Not obnoxious, but annoying. That kind of grating, gets-under-your-skin kind of guy.
Like Nancy Grace, but male.

You are so right! Thank you for speaking up for the rest of us who only want the truth! Glenn is very well known as an Independent. The liberals are just upset that they can't force the rest of the world to accept their sick agendas. I would say values, but they have none.
You all just go ahead and follow your "messiah" your "one" your false prophet, but remember, "a proud man riseth, before the fall!"

Anybody remember "Give us 30 minutes and we'll give you the world."?
Headline News should get rid of these opinionists and get back to its original mission of providing news headlines 24/7.

His comment should have been directed to Nancy Grace. Why that woman has a show is beyond me. I'm all for one cable news channel that has nothing but news with no opinions. Crazy concept I know.

Subject: Interesting opinion...
Read on, its a bit long, but an interesting prospective...
read on…
"I cannot believe that having come from Cuba you think that this would be progress . . . how can you think that a man who is a friend of terrorists, atheists, is anything but evil -- Everyone in Cuba prayed for Fidel Castro to take over Batista's regimen ---- no one asked who his friends were either -- but it was 'progress' because? he helped the poor -- ha! -- indoctrinated the poor -- you, yourself escaped with a mind of your own because your parents were strong enough and savvy enough to get you the hell away from the likes of Obama
What is it that you think would be progress? That we would have socialized medicine? Have you ever talked to anyone in Canada ? Anyone there who has had a child die because they couldn't get an MRI done in time to determine that she had a tumor that could have been removed had it been taken out in time? I have. - Her name is Jodie Bartfof --her baby's name was Izzy and now her oldest child is in a similar situation. She is Canadian - she has told us to do whatever we can to avoid that health care system in the US ?
What is it that you think is progress? That we tax the corporations more and the poor less? Who is going to give the 'poor' jobs, when the corporations get tired of paying the higher taxes and shut down the businesses -- Oh I see, the welfare system will take over? Right? Sure perpetuate the welfare system so we continue to raise a country of hoodlums, do-nothings - give me a handout ignoramus . . .
Do you not understand that the Democratic party is a party of Socialists? Have you ever read the definition of Socialism --
Read it slowly:
so·cial·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1837
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Is this what you would want for your nieces and nephews? An 'unequal distribution of goods and pay'
Controlled and owned by the state? Is this not why we are here in this country?
Have you watched TV lately? Have you seen children praising OBAMA in the classroom and singing his praises? Hello? Is this not bordering on Communism and indoctrination? Brought back memories of Cuba again.
Worse yet . . . the teacher that just got fired for organizing marches in the classroom and military maneuvers for Obama? Russia ? Cuba ? China ? . . . No, USA
This is a cult following for Obama? Who is he? What has he done? Is it because he is black? Is that the attraction? I don't understand it .. . . I really I don't care if he was purple and several years ago I would have gladly voted for Collin Powell in a New York minute. The democrats said that he was going to endorse Obama, then didn't -- what happened?
When did the economy go to hell in a hand basket? Let me refresh your memory -- it was 2006 and what happened then? The country wanted change and they voted in a Democratic Congress-- and what has Congress done in the last 2 years? Nada --- I take it back . . . they made people lose their homes so they could get kick backs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they made gas go to $4 a gallon, and oh yes, they elected Nancy Pelosi who has done such wonderful things as decorate the executive lunchroom, change the menu, and is most famous for turning out the lights against the Republicans wishing to continue to debate during an oil crisis, because she didn't want the Republicans to take credit. Then add Harry Reid, Maxine Waters, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and numerous others who repeatedly stated that there was nothing wrong with the financial viability of Fannie and Freddie and sang the praises of their leader who got away with 90 millions of dollars. Obama himself is the second highest recipient of campaign contributions from Freddie & Fannie. . . exceeded only by Chris Dodd -- Keep in mind that Dodd has been around for over 20 yrs. - Obama for 3 yrs -- I shudder to think what Obama would have gotten if he had been there 4 yrs.
Those things that happened to the economy were not all the President's doing -- that is a result of Congress -- Don't believe me? Read the Constitution -- they were the only ones that could do anything about it -- ahem, remember a Democratic Congress.
My favorite president, Thomas Jefferson, who defined in the republican principles very well states 'The equality among our citizens [is] essential to the maintenance of republican government.' and further
-'The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.' Republicans believe every one is equal - equal opportunity - it is not a Robin Hood state. Take away from the rich to give to the poor -- why are they poor?
America, is the land of opportunity -- regardless of color, religion, or sex. If you work, you can be whatever you want to be!! If you expect a handout you will be nothing. When I was moving to Mississippi my friends said -- 'you are a foreigner, a catholic and a woman in a state that still is very racist' Well, you know. I became a Realtor and within a few years I was a top producer, President of the Board of Realtors and even Realtor of the Year. I never felt inferior and worked my butt off. If you feel you are inferior you will always be inferior. I have been in this country 47 years and I have never felt inferior. I grabbed every opportunity that was afforded to me. I have succeeded in many areas and most of all, unlike Michelle Obama, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF MY COUNTRY.
I believe in helping the poor, always have. Mark and I have helped so many needy people over the years -- we have helped build a shelter for abused women, and children. Donated our time and resources to orphanages and donated computers to a school for children to learn on. We donated our money, our sweat and our tears --- but no one MADE us do it. That is what it all should be about.
In 1997, my best friend Cheryl and I organized the Santa for Seniors for 7 counties. We collected gifts for the homebound elderly and not only shopped, but also wrapped and delivered gifts for several years. We collected turkeys for Thanksgiving for the Soup Kitchens and helped served the meals -- I guess that made us Community Organizers long before Obama got out of school.
I don't believe in welfare, as the democratic party defines it. Instead I subscribed to the philosophy of the ancient Chinese proverb 'Give a man a fish; feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; feed him for a lifetime'. We have worked very hard all of our lives, paid our taxes and obeyed the laws. I don't want to support the do-nothings.
Sometimes we forward these emails without thinking. I want you to tell me what you perceive Progress is -- and perhaps I could understand what the attraction to Obama is. Also, while you are at it, please give me the name of one of Obama's friends or associates who has not been convicted, investigated,or whatever for either terrorism, scamming, atheism, or the like and I will be glad to take a look at that too. I am always careful in choosing my friends, not because I thought I would run for office, but because I always remember Abuelo Pepe and Papi saying 'Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.
Believe or not, I do have an open mind and do make my decisions in checking both sides of any issue but an eloquent, empty suit, tells nothing about the person, or their believes. The romantic idea of electing a black man for president is nothing more than that -- shallow indeed."
Love,
