How often does Glen Beck say the "F-word"

The F-Word meaning Fascist, I presume.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

The hypocrisy of progressives is unfathomable...do they happen to recall the constant accusations they threw at president Bush? Fascist was one of them. Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder, and it appears to impair memory in addition to logic centers.

Exactly. Although on some matters I am not a Bush fan, she has different "standards" for Obama.

hey Cooky... don't like the fword? then go 0bama yerself!!!

The F-Word meaning Fascist, I presume.

yeah, it dawned on me that's what the libtards meant right after I posted. So we're not allowed to utter the word "fascism" but it's ok for SteveCokie to call Beck a terrorist.

[dalereed]

Wrong, they are speaking about themselves!!!!

[RichInOC]

You know, if I’d grown up with a mama and daddy in Louisiana Democratic politics, I”d be extremely careful about throwing around the word “corrupt”.

Time to de-fund NPR and make this slattern whore do some real work for a change to earn her keep.

[OrioleFan]

It’s an old one. I heard it over a year ago on Boortz where a guy cleared out the Somalis at a DMV in North Carolina, so he didn’t have to wait.

From the other “Cokie” thread:

By kcvl:

While working in Guatemala, Sister Dianna Ortiz, a Catholic nun from New Mexico, was raped and tortured by members of a death squad until a US supervisor recognized that she was from the US.

Although there was no doubt of Ortiz’s torture and ample evidence to corroborate her claims of an American supervisor, Roberts insisted that Ortiz was lying in a 1996 interview with Ortiz on the TV show “Nightline.”

Roberts’ brother, Tom Boggs, working for the law firm of “Patton, Boggs, & Blow,” was paid by the Guatemalan military to promote a more positive image of the death squads and the military dictatorship in Guatemala.

This incident caused a tremendous amount of scrutiny into other potential nepotistic relationships within the media.

Also by kcvl:

Cokie Roberts is the fourth child and youngest daughter of former ambassador and long-time Democratic Congresswoman from Louisiana Lindy Boggs and of the late Hale Boggs, also a Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who was Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. Her sister, the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, was mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and a candidate for U.S. Senate from New Jersey. Her brother Tommy Boggs is a prominent Washington, D.C. attorney and lobbyist.

Cokie Roberts, she is the daughter of Hale Boggs, a former Democratic House Whip who was the product of a corrupt Louisiana political machine that dates back to Huey Long. Interestingly, Boggs was made a member of the Warren Commission that investigated the death of JFK. According to John H. Davis, author of The Kennedy Contract, a book that explores a possible Mafia connection in the assassination, Boggs “could be relied upon to...see to it that his principle financial backer, and behind-the-scenes power in the state government, Carlos Marcello, would not be mentioned in the commissions deliberations, which, as it turned out, he never was.”

The popular author and broadcaster who has turned nonstop name-calling into an art form is a big fan of the "F-word."

Hey! Me too! Gordon Ramsey is great!

Exactly. Although on some matters I am not a Bush fan, she has different "standards" for Obama.

I'm not a Bush fan either, but gross hypocrisy really bugs me...so it's hard to get past what democrats say as hypocrisy is a core personality trait for progressives.

Poor Cokie needs glasses and hearing aids, she got Glenn Beck mixed up with Barak Hussein Obama.

“You’re CONSERVATIVE? Oh, you are too stupid to know what is going on. Let US tell you what to think.”

Typical liberal elitism.
