since I've heard from impeccable sources that calling our right-wing talking points on DU is "witch hunting," and we wouldn't want to do that! Welcome one, welcome all to DU - we ought to give Jim Robinson his own forum to Host, as far as I'm concerned.

I thought it was humorous, but obviously it's not as humorous as I thought.

Glenn Beck is just...so...wow. I don't know what, but he sure has a lot to say about it. I'm not sure I agree with Beck on this, but maybe. What do you think?
