Try being born anywhere else. Course, most of the Scandanavian countries are nice enough to justify 60% income tax. And the women!ninja51 said:So much for free speech, god it really freaks me out about this stuff. Imagine what the FBI and government does that they wont tell us about. Remember that video that came out where it showed a military air gunman killing a reporter and shooting and killing a father who drove up help the injured trying to crawl away? Ya the offical story on that was "We killed 9 insurgents." They refused to release the video. They dont tell us shit, they banned a kid from the country for being mean to the president in an email he never would have read anyway. That guy who threw his shoes at bush, was in prison for a few years I believe. Ya a country touting its equal rights imprisoned, and almost definatly tortured a guy who threw, and missed mind you, his shoes at bush. I wish I could make my own country, being born in this fucked up one seriously scares the hell out of me

Bad puns aside, this is hilariously ridiculous. Shouldn't the US free speech thing apply to everyone?
But it was amusing nevertheless. Well played, FBI. I wonder if the people offering Obama viagra and a free college degree receive bans too...

Because the guy does adds for a company, means nothing. The whole cash for gold thing is actually a very smart thing, though I think it was Goldline that he did stuff for. It is his opinion, it isn't some big evil conspiracy. Seriously, the minute somebody endorses a product people jump out and say that person is just down right despicable. If someone wants to make some extra money, I won't bash him if he actually believes in what he is endorsing.derelix said:If he was "telling the truth" he wouldn't be wrong about most of the things he says. He has this weasel way of pointing you a certain way but never saying he believes it, like when he talks about the illuminati but then pretends that it doesn't exist and that obama is the cause of everything. It's pathetic.
He's a fear monger because he spreads fear. All news anchors are fear mongers but beck takes more pride in it (oddly enough, making him the most entertaining to watch)
Nobody fears him, if you really believe that I feel like I should hug you and ask you to find help. He spreads fear to people like you by telling them stuff like "obama care leads to nazis!" and "that's socialist, were becoming NAZIS!"
Don't you find it funny that what he says has a connection to what he sells?
"Our economy is in trouble, the American dollar will soon be worthless. Cash for gold.com, great I use it all the time, they take that useless currency and give you gold in exchange. "
How can you actually believe he is the real deal?
You have taken the term of Troll and used inappropriately. A troll is someone that loves to argue, and argue with out a real reason.sp86 said:
Sonic Doctor said:You have taken the term of Troll and used inappropriately.
Wiki said:In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
ED said:A Troll, most commonly encountered on the internet, is any person who purposely causes controversy in a web community (by posting offensive and crude comments or provides advice) and disrupts shit for his own amusement to prove how extremely corrupt our society is. The term troll is subjective. There are many characteristics of a troll.

"Free speech" is not the universal blanket term you imagine it to be. While there's nothing wrong with insulting the president, threats of violence (to anyone, not just the president) are illegal, and quite frankly he's lucky he wasn't extradited and tried.ninja51 said:So much for free speech

Use a source of news and information that isn't controlled by liberals and I will believe it.

"When the system eventually collapses, and the government comes with guns and confiscates, you know, everything in your home and all your possessions, and then you fight off the raving mad cannibalistic crowds that Ted Turner talked about, don't come crying to me. I told you: get gold."
Oh, but what's this? He seems to have recanted and says he's not a paid spokesman at all [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/14/business/media/14beck.html?_r=4&src=twt&twt=NYTimesAd], even though he himself already proclaimed that he is getting paid [http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200912140010]. So, go ahead and keep listening to Glenn Beck because you can be absolutely certain that he has the best interests of the American People at heart. You know, unless a corporation pays him not to.
