Talk Elections

Who?

Is this a vote to see who is worse or who would win an election? They both suck, but I think Beck isn't quite as egregious in his utter disdain for facts as Rush is.

Just some light humour. An election map would be funny.

The two are interchangeable, which is to say they are equally useless.

Limbaugh, not that he'd be great as a politician, but Beck is too paranoid to accomplish anything.

You gotta love Glenn Beck.

Beck is better (though still nuts) in my opinion.

Umm...no, you don't!

No he is not...not at all. He does not believe a thing he says. He makes it all up. The global Islamo commie plot to relaunch the holocaust? Really? I never heard that from Alex Jones (who is actually paranoid), or from any of the major Conspiracy theorist. It was simply made to scare elderly neocons.

Voted for Glenn just cause he likes guns.

Write-in: Somebody who's not insane.

I believe Glenn took a chain saw to the head of a perfectly good mannequinn to illustrate what he thinks will become of healthcare after the SCOTUS ruling.

I guess the higher the insanity, the higher the entertainment level. :P

I had to watch a Glenn Beck video in my (charter) high school in which he claimed that Iranian terrorists/secret agents were infiltrating the US by virtue of our lack of action on illegal immigration. Beck is either one of the greatest con men of the modern age, or a paranoid nutjob.

Jesus, PP! I am truly sorry that you had to do that. Was it one of those right-wing nutjob schools?

I said Rush. I hate conspiracy theorists with a fiery passion and Beck is one of the worst of the worst. Also, just listen to Rush; either he has the world's greatest ego or he knows he's not taking it seriously and is just saying stuff to be listened to. I'm inclined to believe its the second and that perspective makes his show much more interesting.

Rush all the way.

I can't listen to or watch Beck without cringing.  Limbaugh is the superior personality and intellect.

Yeah, he is just a great con man. Remeber his CNN days? He was just a standard Republican commentator. He goes to FNC, + Tea Party-all the sudden, he gets a chance to reinvent himself as the voice of the Tea Party. And thats what he did.

he's the voice of a distinctly American far-right anti-government anticommunist John Birch Socieity crypto-segregationist strand.

Great... So why would we want a con man who pretends to be insane?

I don't want him, I voted for Rush. I am just pointing out that Beck is a phony.

Rush because he's secretly Fred Savage.

They're both lying to make money, but Rush is slightly less bad.

Yeah, a charter high school that claimed to teach "the classics" and the virtues of "servant-leadership". What happened in reality is that half of the teachers openly taught a "constitutionalist" (re: anything far-right that they liked) and anti-government screed. I had to drop a certain class because one teacher was that obnoxious about it. And my last semester there, a different teacher showed multiple videos of Glenn Beck (including the aforementioned "Iranians and illegal immigrants" crap). The same teacher also showed a video called "the End of the American Dream", a Paulite goldbug piece of crap that claimed that the Federal Reserve was a gigantic Bilderburg conspiracy, and implied that the Federal Reserve killed Kennedy.

Oh, and my last year there I went on a field trip which turned out to be at another school where we heard that far-right buffoon Senator Mike Lee give a vaguely anti-government speech. And this is the kind of school were the students are mostly politically active and all far-right. Gaaah.

The only way I stayed sane at that school was that I had a moderate and smart history teacher, and a (I suspect secretly center-left) Bolivian-born Spanish teacher who agreed that far-right crap like that was terrible and stupid.

Oh, and my hatred for Glenn Beck happened long before this school.

Rush, I despise Beck. Not a huge Rush fan either. I prefer Ingraham, Bennett and Hewitt.

To sum my thoughts up: what's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg? One's a flaming Nazi gasbag, and the other's a dirigible.

Beck all the way. Off his rocker though he may be, he's at least more morbidly amusing to listen to than the depraved, overfilled sack of methane that is Rush Limbaugh.

I can listen to Beck on the radio for extended periods of time (even most of his show if I'm on the road), whereas I can't take more than a couple minutes of Rush. I couldn't watch Beck's tv program, but for some reason I think his radio show is pretty great from an entertainment standpoint. Maybe it's the fact that he's having a continuous conversation with two other guys instead of some kind of self-important monologue.

I really believe there is good somewhere deep down inside of Glenn Beck. Somewhere, underneath his paranoia, exists a man who wants to do good in the world. With Limbaugh, there is nothing but hate and vile all the way to his core.

I can actually listen to Beck without becoming fatally ill, so him.

I'm a Republican, but I don't like how Rush Limbaugh bashes establishment Republicans as RINOs.  Probably Beck, but I don't really like him much either.  None of the above.
