An unsigned Augusta Chronicle editorial March 11, titled "The Left's pro-pollution stance," defended Glenn Beck from a joke that Bill Maher cracked about him in his monologue on the HBO series Real Time . The editorial suggested that Glenn Beck represents "traditional American values."
Related StoriesSeveral months ago, Glenn Beck joked about slipping poison in Nancy Pelosi's drink. I would like to ask the author of this Augusta Chronicle editorial one question: Does he consider poisoning the speaker of the House a traditional American value?

If Obama isn't a racist he certainly enjoys their company a lot and speaks highly of those who are. He also has an age bias as he thinks it is okay to abort the unborn.
Who cares what jokes entertainers make about each other?
If you want too understand what Hussein stands for read his book Dreams from My Father. He said he disclaimed his mother race when he was 13. He blames the white man for all the evil in the world and wants ‘social justice’.
Mark Gelbert, see Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Steven Colbert. Hate spew? I think Dems just call it the news.
Was Glenn Beck making a joke concerning Nancy Pelosi or formulating a plan to save America? Hmmmmm.........
Most republicans are racist, evil, angry and bitter people more so now than ever. They need to poll them and specifically ask them when did you become this way, Nov 08 or Jan 09? just evil, angry, racist and bitter.
funny johnston.cliff you need to see Laura Ingraham, Tammy Bruce, Levin, Savage, Limbaugh, the John Birch society, Richard Spencer, Michelle Malkin, Dan Riehl.....
I guess my question to you notreally is when did you quit being angry, racist, bitter? Nov 08 or Jan 20? Or have you really quit being all those things?
So I guess your answer is that you haven't quit. I was raised by a family that believed in thinking for yourself, not picking up anyone's bias' and/or predjudices. Mine do not include race but do include a bias against those things that lead to bigger and stronger government and less personal responsibility. It would make no difference if it was Obama or some old white dude. If their policies were the same I would be equally biased.
Bill Maher is actually a good political satirist and sometimes quite funny. His first show on HBO this year was rather good. The next two were not as good as the first one. Glenn Beck to me is just plain nuts. He's a populist playing on the anger and fear of the mob. He serves no real useful purpose.
Right Southern Man. It was put there to commemorate the 100 year Anniversary of the start of the War of Sessesion in 1960. It was put up there by the Dixiecrats or Southern Democrats who changed their leopard spots when the Kennedys & Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights legislation. I always wondered why these folks forgot to take the flag down when the 100th Anniversary of the loss of the War of Seccession took place in April 1965? Maybe they just couldn't get over it? Who knows, and frankly who cares. Leave it up there, and maybe put an Argentinean flag somewhere on the grounds too!
Southernguy08 glad it's not flying over GEORGIA LOL. SC can keep it.
Southernguy08 I guess you laughing as well at the fact that the KKK, Nazi lovers, and skin heads uses it to right as a proud symbol. Is yours flying proudly over your ROOF TOP LOL.
Glenn Beck is a LOONEY he told his followers to leave their church LOL. Now if that's not the spirit of the antichrist. He's the FEARMONGER and Chief. I'm sure someone soon is going to do something drastic and harmful in the name of Beck, mark my words.
"He also has an age bias as he thinks it is okay to abort the unborn."- and according to his stance on health care reform, Obama thinks that someone of advanced age should not receive adequate medical care, but rather be treated with just an aspirin to alleviate pain unitl death. Any one who thinks health care reform is about providing health care better think twice.
Gaterp-"Glenn Beck to me is just plain nuts. He's a populist playing on the anger and fear of the mob. He serves no real useful purpose" Glenn Beck was auditioned for a spot on local talk radio, but his views at the time were too liberal. He only made the change to conservatism after being fired by CNN. Most of his topics just incite fear, and there is nothing that can be done by the public. A few weeks ago, he was promoting taking an online quiz that would help one determine their political standing. It turns out the quiz was slanted toward a libertarian outcome. I consider myself a conservative republican, but the quiz said I was Libertarian. After further research, i found out the quiz was worded in such a way that there were only two possible outcomes, you were either identified as liberal or libertarian. Beck is not a mainstream conservative, so I don't give him much credence.
"Glenn Beck is spewing LUNACY."
One should confirm before commenting. Simple political bias does not negate truth!
Southern Man, Fritz Hollings was afraid to buck the racial government that was SC. He was a lukewarm, milk toast senator too. You know like most Southern boys who have things handed to them, but don't really have to work for it. Keep your flag, your nutty governor, and everything else that comes out of the second-rate state that is SC. Soon to be the Yucca Mountain of the East. Keep the flag on the Statehouse grounds or fly it high. It's a Loser flag anyway. Historical, yes it is; but the history is one that lost. That's why they call it the Lost Cause. It never had a chance to win. Industrial beats Agricultural any day of the week. You wahoos just could not figure that out or you would not have fired on Fort Sumter.
Man ITM, please first of all change your beautiful avatar. Secondly, you sound like an Independent/Liberitarian and that's good. I frankly am a liberal with conservative personal practices. So we are probably singing from the same hymnal, even though you'll never catch me inside of a church. Beck, like most other pseudo-journalists, are just in it for the money. I'd make sure those rich blabber mouths are really paying their fair share in US Treasury taxes.
My my..GA got a little State envy going on...LOL
