    I think most of us would agree that prison is the place Manson belongs - at best. He was not a "person in a position of authority" (of course, neither was Hilter for most of his hideous career. And still people followed his words and engaged in heinous acts.)

    So the next question became...if a "pundit" is not responsible for the actions of their listeners by virtue of being a "pundit"...can you call yourself a "pundit" and therefore escape responsibility?

    So I remain convinced - people should be responsible for the words they speak as much as for the actions they do.

    Doesn't mean they can't speak -- just means they have to be responsible.
    So you are comparing Glenn Beck to Charles Manson? Awesome. Make your case and bring it before the DA. I DARE you.

    This kind of crap is why people like you never get what they want.

    I LOVE it that you think "us" such simpletons.

    Glad I make you happy.

    What was I thinking - you might want to stretch your mind. So sorry!

    You continue to channel Sean Hannity - seems to be the best you can do. Show me where I suggested Glenn Beck and Charles Manson were the same? Or that Glenn Beck has committed a crime.

    I am talking about personal responsiblity. And people accepting responsibility.

    Obviously you do not believe that people should be responsible for what they say and do.

    Got it.
