I’m fairly certain he helped precipitate Van Jones’ (the Green Czar, or is it Red?) resignation.

So it’s “I support Beck” or “I hate Beck” rather than “This statement of Beck’s makes sense” or “What Beck just did is stupid”. But once we decide to like a person, that person can get away with a lot, simply by the virtue of being our favorite. (Conversely, once we hate someone, they can do no right.) And then we wonder why the world consistently fails to make sense…

Was he walking on eggshells and stepped over the line one time to many? I didn’t always agree with him, but he does make me think and research for myself.

Perhaps, Ilana, you could interview him for your weekly column; nail him down on issues that are critical for liberty.

[Interesting idea. I’d love to.]

People who criticize Glenn don’t watch his show regularly. He doesn’t have a college degree or a pedigree. He doesn’t fit into anyone’s mold. He is self taught, open minded and a great communicator.

Follow the Money & Political Trail.

Petition Fox for The Judge.

He’s simply leaving his 5pm time slot and that he’ll be doing a different show.

Probably he’s tired of doing a daily. He’ll probably switch to doing an hour or two on weekends (60 minutes style), or maybe an occasional primetime special. That would fit his type of journo-tainment much better.

This whole idea that he’s leaving or been cut lose is just wishful thinking on the part of the Soros/Mediamatters crowd.

It would be great to have the Judge and some libertarian/constitutionalist guests (as opposed to “conservative” Republican shills) if Fox would allow it on their larger news network.
