There's a Category 5 storm about to make landfall, and the president and the officials in charge of preparing for the approaching disaster don't seem to be particularly worried. Sound familiar?

The members...

Say this for Glenn Beck: When the guy goes on the road, he doesn’t hold out on his fans. The Fox News host put on a show this weekend in The Villages, Fla., and he played all his classics: In America, Beck says, we’re supposed to decide peacefully according to agreed-upon procedures. “But everything is upside down right now!” You might think Barack Obama and the Democratic...
As he wrapped up a two-day, seven-city book tour with a rally at the Florida retirement community The Villages today, Glenn Beck wrote an open letter on GlennBeck.com. Beck writes that he is "meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders."

November 21, 2009 Updated Updated birth certificate posts/videos/lawsuits Who knows the truth. I watched Lou Dobbs on Bill O’Reilly and there was no inkling he was fired. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t. It seems a tad odd that a man who was fired walked away with a reported $8M. More curious is who provided the cash. According to the NY Post, [...]

November 20, 2009 Updated birth certificate posts/videos/lawsuits Herr Olbermann is a plain nasty human who spouts lies that no one calls him on. He’s after the birthers again with the same old tired racism. What does he know about racism and/or the birthers? He still thinks barry’s birth certificate was what was posted on barry’s website. Arianna Huffington [...]
Fox News host Glenn Beck is the media's "fearmonger-in-chief," helping to sow distrust and paranoia about the government through conspiracy theories, says the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, one of the world's most prominent groups devoted to fighting racism and anti-Semitism, singled out the controversial TV and radio personality as having gone beyond other similar commentators in his opposition...
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News , World News , and News about the Economy Here is video of Arianna Huffington telling Keith Olbermann that Glenn Beck should be exempted from free speech. Huffington said about Glenn Beck, "there is a good reason why we have an exemption to the free speech protected by the first amendment, when we say that you can't shout fire in a crowded theater, and he's doing...
DOWNLOADS: (1263) PLAYS: (3805) Every time we run a Glenn Beck post, someone trolls into the comments and asks, "Why bother with this guy? We should just ignore him! Post more videos on [insert name of preferred progressive figure here]!" We'd like to refer them to this week's special report from the ADL on the rise of populist anti-government rage, the one that officially dubbed Beck our...
Want to know how the left really feels about free speech? Look no further than Huffington Post editor and co-founder Arianna Huffington. Huffington appeared on MSNBC's Nov. 19 "Countdown" to discuss a report by the Anti-Defamation League that alleges Fox News host Glenn Beck is "the most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke fires of anti-government anger"...
Arianna Huffington has been the leader of the anti-Geithner (and Larry Summers) movement and she has a lot of followers at the Huffington Post. She uses the same tactics that the rightwing uses--guilt by association. Conservatives hate Geithner too just because they have an irrational opposition to the Obama administration. Republican theatrics a la Glenn Beck yesterday was par for the course for republicans....
