Maybe this was caused by the left sticking pins in their Glenn Beck voodoo dolls!
 Quote: Fox News host Glenn Beck had an appendicitis attack during his radio show Wednesday. Chris Balfe, president of Mercury Radio Arts, Beck's production company, confirmed that Beck had his appendix removed at an undisclosed hospital. Unquote: For Glenn’s sake, I hope his doctors were not liberals!  |

I don't care too much for the guy, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I hope he's okay. He may be a bit crazy, but so are the rest of us.

I think he's not only "coo-coo," but also a bit dangerous. However, I don't wish anyone ill.
And I stumbled upon this from Alternet:

A bit dangerous? Spoken as if hearing the truth is a hazard.
For danger, trust in those that are spending us into "prosperity". |

My red flag always goes up when people starting using words like "dangerous" when describing someone who has asbolutely no power other than words. No ability to affect legislation. No ability to put someone in jail. No ability to determine any regulation or requirement.
All he can do is talk... That's it. |

In some quarters, it's called "sedition"
In addition to Glenn Beck, I feel Michelle Bachmann also fits into this category. And her little "press conference" on the Capitol steps yesterday surely crossed the line. The "protesters" displayed various treasonous posters and banners, including two proclaiming "National Socialist Healthcare, Dachau, Germany, 1945." Both banners showed close-up photos of emaciated bodies of dead Holocaust victims, including some children....   (I do wonder what Congressman Eric Canter, one of the speakers, thought of this comparison.) Eddie, is this the "truth" you're talking about??? I hope not... ...gjd |

Just a friendly little tweek George  Seems you're equating Mr. Beck's harrangue against the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) as Conduct or language inciting rebillion against the authority of a state? Thus you're admitting that Unions run the current Administration! Thanks... some of us suspected that all along. Also... just curious... when the left protested against the former adminstration with some "graphic" art included... what'd you think then? Nevertheless Best Wishes |

I like Beck. His campaign against Acorn was truthful, comic and effective.

No, I just made a bit of a leap from the specific to the general, going slightly off thread, I guess. But it was on my mind, so I made it fit. Kind of like tuning an old TAJ or TDE. ...gjd |

When it went over the line, I disagreed with it. But the Teabagger posters seem especially egregious. Some of them are actually funny -- like the ones comparing the Administration's so-called CZARs to the "Czars" of the Soviet Union. A few history lessons might help this rabble be a bit more accurate. ...gjd |

 You think! Okay I forgive you... it's not like you do that frequently. (bit my tongue on that one)  P.S. be careful of those leaps - at our age we don't land on our feet as well. Sonny |

You are RIGHT - you sometimes did. The problem was your line was a lot MORE flexible with folks with which you agreed, than with those whom you differ - IMHO. Best Wishes |

I never claimed to be anything more than human.
I did laugh when Rep. Todd Akin led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance – flubbing the words. He skipped “indivisible.” OTOH, perhaps it wasn't a mistake. Perhaps Akin is a secessionist. ...gjd |

It was acceptable to you when this happened to President Bush! Why is that, George? Could it be (D)? To me, those with hateful signs did more harm than good. Also, talk about dangerous; how about Pelosi calling Americans Nazi? Why are those that disagree with President Obama suddenly hate-filled racial bigots? Your selective tolerance is dangerous, George. You are shamefully supporting politicians that are driving the USA into deeper debt and forcing our children to pay your multi-trillion dollar obligation. |

Speaking of union nurses... They have no choise whether on not to be in the union. They are forced to pay union dues to support politicians and legislation many of them oppose.
"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyranical." (-Thomas Jefferson) Not to mention that the union monopoly on the supply of labor increases the cost of health care. In any case, there is no conflict between praising the nurses, and denouncing the union. I had a union nursing living with me a few years ago (darter) and she denounced the union because it compelled her to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which she disbelieved. The SEIU is sinful and tyranical! But, their nurses are pretty nice. |

Sorry... just not true. If there is an Agency Shop arrangement negotiated, they may have to pay a service fee equal to dues, but they not forced to join the union. Service fee monies spent on political actions (that is, not related to collective bargaining) is rebatable. That's the state of the law under the National Labor Relations Act. ...gjd |

Having been involved in several organizing campaigns against SEIU, I don't think they are the best union around. But "sinful?" "Tyranical?" I don't think so. ...gjd |

I could be wrong here, but I think that was a clever attempt at tying in the Thomas Jefferson quote Unions have a purpose I suppose, but I generally think they do more more harm than good for the folks they are trying to protect. Whats the point of protecting a job that doesn't exist because you put the company out of business with your demands. In a lot of ways it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. I also think their political power is over rated when it comes to elections. With the depth of resources available for forming your own opinion these days, I can't imagine that a union employee is unable to come to their own conclusion on who to vote for. |
