It’s like all the intense interest in Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend’s mom. It’s purpose is to use up column-inches and news minutes, so that people don’t notice how little we know about Obama’s past.

Playing naive arm-chair shrink, I wouldn’t be suprised that no matter
what the Cause of Death was on her death certificate, Beck could be
forgiven for considering it suicide, even if in slow motion.
As in, she was mentally unstable, not getting the help she needed,
and compounding problems with self-medication. And that sooner or
later, death was a likely outcome from this constellation of problems.

Of course, if Beck was an American-hating, bomb-throwing leftist
like Bill Ayers, the journalists would have concocted such a rationalization
if Bill Ayers mom had died under the same scenario as Beck’s mom.

I really don’t understand what they’re trying to say about this “mystery”. His mother drowned, and his family seems to believe it was suicide. So what? If it was indeed only an accident... what does that change? They seem to be trying to allege that Beck has been wrong about how his mother died. Do they think this affects his credibility somehow? Why would it?

It jus’ don’ make no sense.

He has the right enemies.

That's all that matters to me.

Doing well after such a life!

We know very little about Obama’s past.

It’s like aliens dropped him off one night, naked, with a pack of Chicklets.

Local boy makes good. Glenn Beck’s new fame and spirit is the freshest thing to come down the pike in 2009.

Great. It’s easier for the state run media to dig into the distant past to question the circumstances of Beck’s mother’s death than it is to examine the veracity of his claims regarding President Obama’s radical agenda for dismantling our country.

What’s this:

“But those who knew Glenn Beck, the boy, from his days in a small working-class town, recall him in terms hardly recognizable by today’s rhetoric. Well-meaning, polite, ambitious. A kid who liked music and doing magic tricks from a well-liked family.”

Ambitious and well-meaning seem pretty obvious to me. Polite isn’t surprising either. That he liked music fit with his having come up as a radio dj, and that he liked doing magic tricks fits with the showman that he is. Sheesh!

You are right. Glenn would know more about his mom than these leftards. I pray they do not touch his heart because they are going to be really mean to him and his family - if they can get a bite of them.

Obama doesn't know all that much about his past either, but his grandmother had a truly fantastic "bluest of the blue bloods" genealogy that would get you into Columbia and Harvard WITHOUT A QUESTION.

There are those will now tell us "It doesn't work that way" but it does and that's how Obama got ahead.

This must be proof Beck is (a) on the right track, and (b) very effective.

If the State Run Media is resorting to this, Beck is truly kicking their ass.

Cause he’s gone after ACORN, OBAMA, the Hideous RATHKE BROS., and all the other CORRUPT DEMS! They will stop at nothing to destroy him.

Aww hell, I bet half the people I attended High School with wouldnt remember me.
Whats the big deal? Glan has done more damage to the left, at great personal risk, than any other broadcaster. The left wants him gone, wiped out, ruined. Thats the way the left operates: destruction of all people who oppose them. Like a swarm of locusts, they will attack every part of someones life, and blow out of portion the smallest of items.
Keep it up, Glenn. You are doing most of the heavy lifting.

For the record on 9/13/09 there was not one mention in the Tacoma News Tribune about the march in DC.

I know because my wife subscribes, so I looked out of curiousity. I normally wouldn’t.

Hey, Lewis, where’s the birth certificate ? How ‘bout you do an article digging up that one, Columbo ?
