    Was it even on any station? I went looking a couple of times, for either of the events, and could find nothing other than a few, short clips. Worthless for getting any sort of feel for either of them.

    Oh well, I got lots of stuff done around here instead of being parked in front of the TV having my head spun in circles by Beck or Sharpton

    Don't think it was on TV, was it? Didn't see it, didn't look for it. Why bother
    when I can just imagine the guy and get a headache. He's a trainwreck.

    I rarely listen to anything on the radio except classical music and the Tigers games. TV - I watch Rachel Maddow, but not every night. There are priorities in my life - like baseball and hockey.

    I like Rachel because she doesn't scream, screech, interrupt, or talk over her guests. She has a preponderance of like minded guests, but is not afraid to have the opposite viewpoint represented. And she is always polite to her guests.

    I don't always agree with her, but I enjoy her shows. She's been to Iraq twice during the summer, walking around in the heat with Richard Engle. This week she's in New Orleans.

    It was broadcast live on C-Span.

    The only people who can "spin your head in circles" are the people who you ALLOW to do so. Allowing a person to give you a headache by simply 'imagining' him... LOL How absurd to let any person do such a thing to you, especially when you have no REAL idea who they even are and clearly have no desire to understand them.

    Ya know? For people who claim to be so open-minded and accepting of ALL people.... You do not make much of an effort to understand the people with whom your idols tell you to disagree with. But then again, that takes effort... So much easier to call people names.

    Carry on! We don't really need you to make sure our posterity has a future worth looking forward to. Because the light always pushes the darkness aside.

    Are you speaking to me, Puck?

    Remember when I said this - post #2473 -
    You know, on a couple of occasions I have turned on Glenn Beck's mid-day radio show. I had to stop doing it.

    He made no sense to me - within a few minutes my head would be spinning as he bounced from one nutty idea (at least that's how they seemed to me) to another. I don't understand where he is coming from, or where he is going.

    I don't listen to, or watch, Keith Olbermann either. I'm more comfortable with hosts who don't scream and shout; hosts who don't repeatedly interrupt a guest.
    Then you responded with this, post #2475 -

    Must be my age
    He has RAGING ADD. LOL He admits as much. Maybe that is why I find it 'easy' to follow him.

    The more you listen, the more you understand him.

    But, I totally understand the sentiment of him being hard to follow sometimes. It has nothing to do with age.
    Boy, I sure did misunderstand you. First you claim to understand where I am coming from - now you insult me.

    Only in the first paragraph and then not just you.

    I misunderstood what you meant by the term "spinning heads in a circle" when you used it the second time. I took it to mean that you found the message disagreeable, rather than difficult to follow due to his delivery style.

    If you were insulted by what I said, I apologize. The post was written more for 'someone else'.

    . All this talk of Obama makes me SICK!!! I am NOT his biggest fan. He is just horrible! Religion? Of course. I am a christian baptist. No offence to Richard here, but I would just find a new church instead of sittin around DRINKING and watching tv. No offence, just what I believe. I don't believe in drinking, and if you want to drink, it's fine, i will still be your friend, it does not matter. Some people believe in drinking and some dont. Obama is just messing America up... totally!!!
