Agreed. That's the Huff Post though...there was absolutely nothing wrong with any of the tees...a couple pins were funny. The radical right pin is really funny cause it relates to Becks twisting of history.

I dismiss insanity pretty readily. When someone gets up and starts claiming that we as a nation need to turn back to a mythological being in hopes of fixing real world problems... sorry, I don't need to listen to that nonsense. I wonder... if this were someone saying that the US needs to turn to Allah for guidance in order to restore honor (whatever the hell that even means), how would that work out? Buddha? Pastafarianism? Sorry, crazy is crazy. I don't pay attention to the guy on the train rambling about the end of the world and I likewise can't be bothered with an uneducated blowhard spouting equivalent drivel. The only reason it's even worthy of discussion is that there are at least 300,000 like minded lunatics.

Dam the left likes to call people names that don't agree with them. Just go through this entire thread and see the name calling. I thought the left was the party of inclusion, yea my ass. Thats all right november is just a month away.

First, so I have a question. Do you consider me a part of the "left"? Should be fairly easy to answer.

Totally agree. He might as well have been up there reading fairy tales.

Just an FYI there are many millions of people who believe in the "Mythological" being in this world. And many of the worlds best and brightest.

I liked the fact that he mentioned mosques in his speech/sermon but then I thought to myself hasn't this guy been riling against the "ground zero" mosque and the imam behind it with nonsensical attacks? What part if his speech/sermon did you like and did any of it give you pause?

Beck lacks character IMO.
