Re: Glenn Beck and Fox News Part Ways
And nothing of value was lost.
OT but it still astounds me that Glenn Beck and Don Imus are basically fired for saying racist and hateful shit but Rush Limbough is allowed a precription drug addiction, to sing songs like "Barack the magic negro" and do impressions of Michael J Fox's with parkinsons and he's still given so much air time. I suppose it all comes down to the mighty $ like everything else. I'm sure if Beck hadn't lost any viewers and the advertisers hadn't pulled out he'd still be on air.
Anyway might be being a tad cynical about this, but I'm sure Fox will find a replacement for him that's equally as stupid. Talking sense and being reasonable doesn't get you any headlines or sell many books...
I wish the media would stop feeding these trolls.

I just read this on Wikipedia:
Limbaugh was not drafted during the Vietnam War draft lottery, as his birth date's high rank (152) was well above the 125 rank below which service members were drafted. He was classified as "1-Y" (later reclassified "4-F") due to a Pilonidal cyst.[2][6]
Does anybody know if this is true?
Did he really get out of the war due to a sore in his ass crack???

Re: Glenn Beck and Fox News Part Ways
Beck fans seem to identify themselves pretty quickly by mentioning Soros. It's like some magical word that they can't resist saying.

The news is that Soros's MediaMatters have dropped the pretense and are in full-on attack mode to "sabotage" Fox.

Good bye and good riddance. Nothing but a clown who got rich playing on the irrational fears of fools.
