    Along with the fan base of Keith Olbermann! After the resulting slaughter the moderates would rule the country! ;)

    I agree with you on those two, but I find Beck to be as 'out there' as they are. He's entitled to his opinions, after all....but he looks and acts manic as f**k when he's on TV. I keep expecting O'Reilly to smack him every time he's on the Factor.

    "I keep expecting O'Reilly to smack him every time he's on the Factor."

    More likely they will have gay sex as they talk about how Obama is a communist.

    You obviously don't watch much O'Reilly.

    Yes, he talks about the redistribution of wealth and big government, but he doesn't sit around calling Obama a pinko commie a la Rush Limbaugh.

    If everything is "ok", why would the amorphous entity that is the mainstream media report on it? In case you haven't noticed, stories happen when things go wrong, not when they're "ok". Also, what is the connection between the PATRIOT Act and FEMA camps?

    to address earlier poster about 9/11, I believe the govt. had insiders that were complicit in its planning and execution. The biggest pieces of evidence for me are WTC7 videos (controlled demolotion), the war games going on that day simulating planes being hijacked, among dozens of other things. I've spent countless hours researching.

    The mainstream media has talked about FEMA camps a little, but it's always 'conspiracy theory' this and that, with little to no description of what they're there for. I believe the govt. would look a LOT better if they'd at least explain why concentration camps (that's what they are) exist on US soil.

    What do FEMA camps have to do with the Patriot act? They're both silently created for years in anticipation of a problem that the government usually creates, and boom here you have the solution. It's always totally contrived and a little bit too 'coincidental', yet only a small minority pick up on it.

    The past 10 yrs have been basically an 'in your face' model of the Hitler regime. Once highly prosperous country, economic turmoil, social class warfare, new face on a bad regime, camps quietly being created. The only difference is that these guys are way, way smarter than the brains behind Hitler. What's sad is that people have access to way more information via the internet now, unlike those living 65 yrs ago, yet they still have no clue what's going on.

    This isn't evidence. It's wild speculation.

    wtc7 going from standing upright to doing a complete freefall into itself within 8 seconds is wild speculation? I challenge anyone to show me one video of a building that collapses in the same manner that wasn't done by means of a controlled demolition. Also note that WTC7 was completely ignored by the 9/11 Commission (omission) report. There's also at least one video of the press reporting "WTC7 has fallen" while in the background you see it standing. coincidences though.

    Aside from Bush or Cheney coming out and saying, "we were at least somewhat responsible", there are people on this planet who will just refuse to believe in the possibility our govt. played a big role, no matter how glaring the evidence is.

    I don't understand OddsOn's slam at Larry King. It's like kicking a puppy too small to even give you a nip in response. King is about as harmless as you can get in the cable news universe. Beck? The beer is far better. Does Beck ever cry in his Beck? Inquiring minds want to know!

    Honestly, what's the point of this challenge? How many huge airplanes have flown into buildings and been caught on video?
    There's a difference between believing in the possibility and thinking it is in any way likely. When the evidence is glaring that they weren't involved, then that's about the time that even the most open-minded people stop considering it seriously.
    Maybe because those conspiracy theories have been debunked many times?

    no offense, but comparing Beck's complete and utter insanity and bigotry with Olbermann is very foolish.. just because your conservative friends Limbaugh, Savage and Hannity have opposing views with the man doesn't make him the insane mentally challenged guy that Glenn Beck is..

    there's liberal, there's conservative, then there's INSANE, and in a whole other stratosphere there's BIGOT.. Chris Baker is a conservative, Olbermann is a liberal, Glenn Beck is INSANE, and Savage and Limbaugh are racist bigots..

    Hang on there, Sparky. I think that if the WTC7 building had been hit by a plane, it would have been mentioned in the 911 Commission Report, no? In fact it was not hit by a plane at all! Ask a random person on the street about WTC7 and they'll say, "wha??"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm7aGzubz9A

    No, you will not see this video debunked on mainstream media. If I recall correctly, many buildings have caught fire over the course of history (this one probably being the most structurally sound, given its value), and it goes down in roughly 8 seconds in that fashion, without being hit by a plane? The fact that you seem to think that it did just shows the level of knowledge the average person has about 9/11.

    Where is the 'glaring evidence' that 'they' weren't involved? Lower level psychology just doesn't cut it, imo. For those who think, "no way would the government/CIA ever plot to attack its own citizens for financial/geopolitical gain", I advise you to research Operation Northwoods, since maybe that will help open the door to this issue just a tad.

    JFK explicitly shot down these formerly classified (obviously) plans, for what it's worth about some possible motives behind his untimely death.

    Another random interesting thing is that if you go to the FBI's most wanted page for Osama Bin Laden, you'll see that he is not wanted for the attacks on 911.

    http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm

    "CAUTION

    Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world."

    I guess 'other terrorist attacks' is a lot easier than writing out '911 attacks' or something to that extent.

    I guess the government officials responsible for the greatest act of terrorism on American soil were uncomfortable about lying about it on the FBI's most wanted site...

    Funny 'oversight' I suppose, then. GW Bush has already stated that he's 'not worried' about Bin Laden, anyway, which I believe. Fun Fact: Osama Bin Laden was once a CIA operative named 'Tim Osman'.

    You must not listen to Olbermann. Beck is amusing. Olbermann is mean and dangerously insane.

    There is a big difference between what's going on here comparing Beck and Olbermann.

    People who are accusing Beck of being insane are giving specific examples like his initial claim that the Obama whitehouse was building internment camps to put people who are conservative in.

    The people who are saying Olbermann is insane are just saying it, and not providing the crazy theories that Olbermann has.
