  - yup, and we'll be spending the second week island hopping back to Athens. -- nm - znufrii Feb 18, 13:27 3

Charlie Sheen, Rosie O'Donnell and Ed Asner. Three bastions of liberal respectability. nm - Dignan Feb 18, 13:04 18
- Guys, feel free to make it out like Beck is the be all, end all of the Republican party, but you're all giving him way too much credit. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 18, 13:10 15
  - It's not that he's neccesarily increasing the GOP base, it's that he's radicalizing it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 13:12 13
    - And Strongbad's point is that's not party exclusive. Even right now it's not, but certainly not historically. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 18, 13:20 12
      - You show me where a poll finds 50% of Democratic primary voters belief some conspiracy talk. - Will Hunting Feb 18, 13:27 4
        
        This is where the threads get mixed up. Beck is not a birther. - Dr.Vermin Feb 18, 13:29 3
        
        He isn't? ... I suppose he's too flighty and random to be consistently adherent to one standpoint. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 13:31 1
        
        Heh. That must be it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 18, 13:36
        
        The problem is not solely Beck. -- nm - Reagen Feb 18, 13:30
      - But this is exactly what I'm saying - you have to dig and dig and dig for a few scattered nutballs that no one listens to on the left wing. - Reagen Feb 18, 13:26 6
        
        Couple of last points before I move on (and you can have final word)... 1) Nobody is saying the extremism is good or fair just because both sides..... - Name Withheld By Request Feb 18, 13:49 1
        
        Which policies is Beck responsible for? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 18, 13:28 4
        
        the drives to defund so-called liberal community organizations come to mind immediately. - Reagen Feb 18, 13:32 3
        
        Looks like there are a couple dozen Senate dems in Beck's audience. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 18, 13:38 2
        
        or at least a sizable enough number of the constituents that they felt it wasn't worth the candle to stick their necks out on the issue... -- nm - znufrii Feb 18, 13:40 1
        
        which is, of course, the same thing as wholly endorsing the policy. -- nm - znufrii Feb 18, 13:43

    - Stay away from Hunting...got it. Thanks for the heads up. -- nm - Jim Feb 18, 13:04
Maybe if Stephen starts a new RNC fan page on FB, he can drum up some support on the fair-and-balanced credo (i.e., not being a D.Mac), and pull a - Beryllium Feb 18, 13:00 5
- (Actually, maybe that's a good question ... did they do a D.Mac-like thing? I seem to recall he was far less petty than that.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 13:01 4
  - DMac had a thankless job and his bosses didn't understand the internet to boot. - David Feb 18, 13:02 2
    - Well, that and he was the PR guy who couldn't spell PR. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 18, 13:05
    - ah, yeah. that too. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 18, 13:02
