Fair and balanced...we report, you decide.
Essentially, the only news we can really believe is what we see/experience ourselves.
Beck has changed, for whatever reason(s). I no longer turn on his show as a result. At one time, I believe he was a true patriot. Now, he’s more like an O’Reilly-style opportunist.
Because those shows say what they want to hear.
Yep, I have noticed a decide shift from F&B to NO Islam subject. Especially with the terrorist stories.
It would interesting if Beck or Hannity actually provided the viewers of the Nazi ties to the Muslims during WWII.
The two are joined at the hip.
I just don’t understand this. Maybe there are some details I am missing but from all I have heard and read from Wilders is that he is a man who sees reality, who understands the enemy and has the balls to speak up about it. For the life of me I do not understand why anyone at Fox news would say anything to disparage this courageous man. Help me understand?
Why do you religiously watch someone that you are extremely disappointed in?
What exactly mean, that Islam is a good religion gone bad with certain individual zealots? If that be the case, why don't the "moderate Muslims" all chime out condemning the radicals?
I will answer my own question, the so-called "moderate Muslims," (a) haven't read their Koran and/or "moderate Muslims" knowing that they are outnumbered by violent members of their faith who HAVE read the Koran that directs the behavior that they are exhibiting and who consider them to be "apostates" who need to be brought back into submission.
Then he could dazzle us with brilliant mental gymnastics by comparing Wilders to someone like David Duke. Where did I leave that Politial Cowardice award?
Interesting point you bring up, the Muslims had a dedicated SS division assigned to it, the Handzar SS Division out of Bosnia.
yeah
You can let him explain himself. I’m done with that show, and have little use for the man after his recent comments on everything from Obama’s birth certificate (hey, maybe he’s on the up and up, but show us the d*mned birth certificate!) to Geert Wilders. Enough is enough. I can listen to that kind of junk on MSNBC if that’s what I want to hear. Conservatives made Beck’s fortune—we can just as easily tune OUT and send him packing back to CNN.
He may be the man who finally does something about “TROP Gone Wild” in Europe..http://geertwilders.org
It's impossible to reconcile things that Beck says from minute to minute
It's in the same box with the “Obama Eligibility Cowardice Award” that is being hidden under the bed.
thanks for posting the speech.
O'Reilly is also being influenced by Beck. The other night, the Bloviator started using the word "Progressive" for "Liberal" as does Glenn.
Liberals LOVE being called "Progressives".
I hope Beck shakes BOR ASAP and becomes his own man. At the moment, they're mutually using each other. I'm getting sick of their Abbot and Costello giggle-fest routines on the Factor.

From wikipedia:
"Arab-English Lexicon, Lane, E.: a burning of fire, a melting of (metals) in order to distinguish the bad from the good, a means wherby the condition of a man is evinced in respect of good or evil, punishment, chastisement, conflict among people, faction and sedition, discord, dissension, difference of opinions, a misleading, causing to err, seduction, temptation."
"Fitna (pl. fitan) (فتنة) is an Arabic word with connotations of secession, upheaval and chaos. It is often used to refer to civil war, disagreement and division within Islam and specifically alludes to a time involving trials of faith, similar to the Tribulation in Christian eschatology.
The term originally referred to the refining of metal to remove dross [1], but became common in apocalyptic writings and is often used to refer to the First Islamic civil war, in 656–661 AD, a prolonged struggle for the caliphate after the 656 assassination of the caliph Uthman ibn Affan. The Second Fitna, or Second Islamic civil war, is usually identified as the 683–685 AD conflict among the Umayyads for control of the caliphate. The third one refers to the taifas in the end of the Caliph of Córdoba's rule.
Variant Qur'anic translations demonstrate some of the confusion this term has engendered:
(8:39) "So fight them until there is no more disbelief (fitnah) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone" (from translation of Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan)
(8:39) "And fight with them until there is no more persecution (fitnah) and religion should be only for Allah" (from translation of Sher Ali, Shakir, Pickthall, Arberry)
The meaning of the term is illustrated in the apocalyptic literature by people under extreme moral and psychological stress to compromise an element of their faith in return for worldly gain, and sometimes in return for their lives. They are made to choose, often not knowing exactly what is good and what is evil.
According to Orientalist Gilles Kepel, "fitna is sometimes translated as sedition, that is to say the fact that the Muslim community is fragmented is because it has lost its sense of proportion and of reality - of maslaha (public interest); to its detriment this has delivered it to the demons of extremism. Jihad returning like a boomerang weakens the community from within. The fitna has been the ulemas' obsessive fear for as long as Islam has existed."
(8:39) "And fight with them until there is no more sedition (fitnah) and religion should be only for Allah" (from translation of Palmer)
Western scholars believe that this internal fear of fitna in Islamic countries, is the key factor against an introduction and easy maintenance of free pluralistic democratically elected rule. Because many contemporary Islamic scholars believe that free pluralistic democracy resembles the evil of fitna. Something which is contrary to the united spirit of the kaliphate and the ummah."

The word fitna comes from an Arabic verb which means to "seduce, tempt, or lure."
