    Yes, I've talked to people who have lived there for many years (my wife's aunt works for your republican local representative), and the Common Wealth of Virginia set it up that way to increase its tax base.

    A thousand apologies to Tal and the rest of the moderator staff for being so far off topic on this thread: Thank you for your patience with us...

    Wow, yeah, we did roam, didn't we?

    Anyway, I still say there's no basis for the 'racist' claim behind these comments. There are plenty of people that dislike Obama for other reasons.

    I've been gone a while, and feel the need to clarify my position. This guy said something stupid in the spur of the moment. It was stupid, rude, uncalled for and all around inappropriate. He's paid a heavy price for his slip of the tongue. So did Letterman. But IMHO that's where it ends. I'm aware of horrible things being done with guns and such. But this guy's off the cuff joke can hardly be construed as seriously advocating Negro hunting, or Dem hunting, or any such thing. React strongly to Columbines and Unabombers to your hearts content, but clumping this guy in with them is a far stretch.

    That said, I'd never vote for him.

    Once upon a time Glenn Beck was a comedian

    Once upon a time Glenn Beck was a comedian.

    ​

    Probably he just dropped the pretences because he eventually found a well paying audience that not only bought his tickets but also took it for real and found him perfectly representing what they thought. He must have nothing but contempt for his audience.

    By bashing Obama's 'socialism' he is just recycling his old comedy shtick.

    This would be funny if Stephen Colbert did it. When Glenn Beck does it, it's just scary.

    Repping Rags, in part playing a clip from a Canadian show (really, how do you find this stuff ? :) ), and Drew for pointing out that Beck has become a (frightening) parody of himself.

    What appears to be a Fox News producer was caught by Mediamatters on video when he was encouraging a crowd to scream and holler during a "news report" by Fox News' Griff Jenkins. Enjoy the two videos here.

    For all of you Fox News haters out there. This one is for you. I'm sure they will get fined, but this may be one of the funniest things I've seen on the internet. I love the co-anchors eyes.




    EDIT: I stand corrected, it wasn't Fox News, it was a Fox affiliates news broadcast. It still funny though.

    ... WTF? What on earth was he even saying? I mean, I'm guessing that either we misheard him, and he was actually (trying to) say something else, or that it somehow connected to some story that he had just been doing or something. I mean, who would just up and say that?!

    I agree with NOG: What does "keep f'ing that chicken" even mean?!?! Is that some cliche that I've simply never heard of. He was talking to the weatherman apparently, but I have no idea what that statement in that context actually means.

    :lol: I have a new favorite saying.

    Yeah, that guy is all sorts of fired. He reminded me of a real-life Ron Burgandy. He struck me as sauced.

    P.S. – Shouldn't this have gone in the Political YouTube Clips thread?

    That phrase has a lot of meaning if you were raised on a farm in West Virginia.

    Too late. Jon Stewart already called dibs.


    Incidently, he was trying to say "keep plucking that chicken." Apparently, it really was an accident.

    I'm certain there are web site that could elaborate, but such discussions are best left to the MUG.
