Typical to attack the person than to address or refute the facts presented. It appears that folks are unable to do more than to cast aspersions, when faced with legitimate questions and irrefutable facts. IE: Van Jones

Does anyone remember “Bush Derangement Syndrome?”

Those were the days.

If only the White House were this combative with Ahmadenijhad.

I know this is far fetched but Beck needs a bit of intimate prison time so he could confront his inner coward. Nothing like a prison friend to help him limp along, bow legged and crying like the fuck that he is.

“…but it does seem silly and trivial for the leader of the free world to attack some media talking head.”

I’m sorry, you were saying what about President Bush responding to Michael Moore about something?

joaquin: No, they’re not afraid, but it does seem silly and trivial for the leader of the free world to attack some media talking head.

I find that ridiculous in so many ways.

Fact is, Beck does have a notable amount of influence on political debate. Claiming he’s just “some media talking head” is to ignore that reality.

And I find it interesting, although consistent, that no objection is made to the fact that Beck lies, but rather to the fact that those lies are being called out.

I’m amused that one of the quotes there features Glenn Beck’s guest Pat Cadell (no doubt still being billed as a “Democrat Strategist”). As Oliver observed previously, this guy hasn’t been a strategist of anything approximately since I started voting, and if he’s sitting around agreeing with Beck, he ain’t much of a Democrat anything…

A lot more people need to tell Beck to stop lying. He is about to join Limbaugh as the biggest liar on the air.

Interesting ad on your website, Mr. Willis.

I think they should invite him to do his show from the White House. See just how big his cajones really are.

It’s important to respond to a liar with the platform Beck has. Good on the Whitehouse for standing up to him.

In the White House’s defense, Beck is a total fucking wingnutty douchbag who could stand a whole lotta slamming.

You were thinking that the White House web site is actually written or edited or reviewed by Mr. Obama? Sorry, that’s incorrect. “The Leader of the Free World” is not blogger-in-chief.

Golly, I guess this means they’re afraid of him.
