Beck Should Be Institutionalized, 'Abusive' to Have Him on TV Says 'Daily Show' Creator
NewsBusters ^ | February 5, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/05/2010 7:28:16 AM PST by Rufus2007

Don't have the clout to get "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart on your primetime program like Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly? You can always opt for Lizz Winstead.

Appearing on HLN's Feb. 4 "The Joy Behar Show," Winstead - co-creator Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," host of a show for the now-defunct Air America radio network and former executive producer for MSNBC's "Weekends with Maury and Connie" - took a critical shot at Fox News host Glenn Beck.

"He should be institutionalized," Winstead said. "First of all Glenn Beck, why is he even on television? I think it's somehow abusive to have Glenn Beck on TV because he seems mentally unstable."

Hell I’m a well known “birther” but I’m not playing the game the left is setting up. And it is a stated goal of the left that they have said they will use in upcoming elections.

You're absolutely right ... in what you say about the liberals using that "birther issue" against the conservatives.

That's exactly what they're going to do... [and I think that many conservatives here on Free Republic were saying that exact same thing, a long while back, before it became as apparent as it is now...].

No doubt. It sounds easier to qualify to run for President than it is to get a Driver Liscense or Social Security.

I’m learning a lot of things that simply weren’t taught in school. The famous writer (I forget his name) who said that all Americans should go before a board every few months and prove thier worth, was astounding.

That wasn’t a modern writer, that was one of America’s classic writers from our past.

I guess you aren’t smart enough to realize that I’ve been on the BC issue since before the election. I’m calling you morons for falling for the left’s game.

Squeal like a pig all you want. I don’t expect or care if everybody agrees with me or not.

I'll confirm that to anyone -- that you have been on the "birther issue" for a very long time before... I should know since I've heard many posts "back at me" from you... in the past... LOL...

But, all that aside, I'm glad you see how the liberals are using this issue as a wedge and also to the general voting public -- to marginalize conservatives. That's exactly what a lot of conservatives were worried about before.

Having said that, I still think a state law requiring a birth certificate for all candidates would not be a "big issue" that the liberals could "use" against conservatives, because it's something that applies to all candidates and is something very reasonable, in and of itself. I think something like that can be put through fairly easily before the next Presidential election.

Yes, you're right -- in terms of the "documentation required".

In fairness, though, I'm sure, in the past, that everyone was always thinking that the "political process" would always bring out any relevant information that would "sink a candidate" and cause him to lose support.

However, in Obama's case, this didn't work...

So, we do need a law requiring specific documentation for this office (and for the purposes of this kind of state law -- "any office")

Do you include ‘LOL’ in every post? How old are you, 16?

LOL....

Lets see, he's been here since 1999.

He's only 11 silly. A FReeper since birth though. LOL

I just think a lot of things are funny... or... maybe it’s that I take it to heart that laughing a lot prolongs your life... who knows... :-)

I was just born that way...

From what I’ve seen of your posts, it appears the only thing you’ve ever agreed with Beck on is the so-called birther issue. I wonder why that is.

Would you care to list those things that I've said that I disagreed with Beck on... LOL...

Happy hunting... :-) [to make it easier for you, start with the conservative issues that I disagree with Beck on and see if you come up with something...]

[But, as I recently posted, and this applies to anyone... if someone says that they agree 100% with someone, then I would worry about that person, because they're likely a loon... LOL...]

............Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen.
***************************************************
The 2 flagrant errors in the statement ,, first “Barack Hussein Obama” could never have been born anywhere ,, that’s the name Barry took when he was amongst his radical communist brothers during his college years ,, and 2nd his assertion that Barry is a natural-born citizen is outside of his area of expertise and an obvious error as Barry’s father (as per Barry) is not American.

Well.., it's a mystery to me as to who is in office right now, then... LOL...

Well, they happen to hire lawyers at the State of Hawaii, too... like they do in other states... :-)

As for the "error"... you may not be aware of it, but this is disputed in legal circles... and so, you're never going to get a final answer on your position (that you take on it) until the Supreme Court decides it. Ping me when you get that decision... :-)

Getting FOX news was really the only part of getting DISH that I cared about. And for us FOX news was not included in the basic package

$19.95?!!! I wish! We had to go up a package to get it and because friend was not a first time customer the price was high. I’m thankful to have it though. I can’t handle watching any other news channel.

sidestep sidestep sidestep , don’t address the issue.. Why didn’t he know Barry’s birth name? You make a joke but he has run under many names ,, that name is merely the most recent, if he saw the records he would have used the proper name for Barry. Why has no-one else backed him up? Why do you seem to think that the constitution has no meaning?

I’d say Joy-less Behar is the one who should be run out of town. ASAP.

I also posted a picture of Sarah Palin when she was Miss Wasilla in Alaska, too...

Oooops... there was no Sarah Palin at that time... [what you didn't know is that I was in on a conspiracy to cover up Sarah Palin's real name at the time... LOL...]

Sarah Palin, Miss Wasilla, 1984



It's no wonder that conservatives have labeled a certain fringe sub-section of conservatives as the "Obama Derangement Syndrome" group... :-)
