The end of an era! He was a man with legendary views!    ;)

Milbank is wrong. There's no way Clear Channel is going to drop Glenn from their radio lineup. Glenn's going to remain quite influential within that echo chamber of commercials for freeze dried food and gold bars.

Eras are pretty short now - 2 years?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

His 2 years seemed like a whole era of time!  All the talk about him; it seemed he was on a lot longer.   :hmm:

He's been around for longer, but not his stay with fox news.

I know; he was on another cable station. I'm just thinking that he's been so polarizing on his Fox show that it just seems like he's been there a lot longer that a couple years.

Is Beck the one the British government refused to grant a visa to because his speech was too controversial?  It was one of those conservative talking heads, whom I cannot readily tell apart.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

No, that was someone else.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Might have been Michael Savage.

Yep.

Savage fakes his shtick.  He found it more profitable to bilk rednecks then hippies.  I don't know about Beck.  He might actually believe his nonsense.

I  remember listening to his show way back in 2003 where he went off on this rant claiming, basically, that every single minority who has a job higher than ditch digger clearly only got it though quotas and affirmative action.  Pure white-trash bait.

Yes, it was Savage who was denied a visa and yes, IMO both he and Beck are basically acts.  Same goes for Rush Limbaugh.

Beck voluntarily converted to Mormonism as an adult. He's not merely playing crazy...
