Right Winger Brad Blakeman compares Glenn Beck to Jon Stewart : It's as crazy as Jon Stewart's crazy

From 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Brad Blakeman seems to be channeling a bit of Tucker Carlson's rhetoric with the 'Jon Stewart is not funny 'line, and he has the nerve to compare Stewart and Bill Maher to Glenn Beck. Last I checked, neither of them were insane liars who look like they've lost their damned mind on their shows and are running segments that would give most small children nightmares.
Shuster...I mean Rush Limbaugh it appears his ratings are up. Glenn Beck's ratings are through the roof. Glenn Beck was suggesting that the Obama administration is heading towards concentration camps with those Fema camps and he accuses the Obama administration of totalitarianism. Watch this: (clip)
Beck: We are a country that is headed towards socialism, totalitarianism beyond you're wildest imagination, I wanted to debunk these FEMA camps, I'm tired of hearing about them. I'm tired of hearing it. I wanted to debunk them....I can't debunk them
Shuster: I mean it's crazy isn't it?
Blakeman: It is, it's as crazy as Jon Stewart's crazy or Bill Maher's crazy on the left. These guys, you have a massive deception because you want to take people away from your horrid policies. You start attacking Rush Limbaugh---is not a member of our party...
Jon Stewart is a comedian...
The joke in this segment is your pathetic defense of Limbaugh and Beck as "entertainers". The only people these nut jobs entertain are the fringe elements of our society who still think George Bush was a great President and that Obama is a terrorist who has a fake birth certificate and is determined to destroy the country.
John Amato:
Blakeman never gives an example of Stewart's craziness. He just says so. I don't remember Stewart being a global warming denier or actually start crying on the set because he feels so bad for you because we're becoming socialists and communists as the camera does a close-up of his eyes while he weeps.
What Blakeman won't say is that Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck do speak for the Republican Party. They have huge platforms to promote their conservative propaganda and the GOP follows right along. John McCain's campaign ads were for the most part---a direct result from talking points he gathered from RushBo. and his company of little Limbaugh's which were then produced 36 hours later... And what's also important to note is that Beck's ratings are tied into that lunatic fringe which represent scary, militia type stuff that is only growing at an incredible pace on the right.

...who is Brad Blakeman? Does he matter to someone? Of course I hate anyone like this being given a forum, but this guy SCREAMS irrelevant.
... in his home, especially around dinner time.

From this (go to the link for citations):
he calls rash an enterainer, who took offense at being called an entertainer by steal, who claims to be only an entertainer when the public gets outraged at him.
the populace in the FEMA camps because we are headed for socialism.
*scratches head*
If you're batshit crazy!
Beck knows that Obama has built a time machine, and he went back in time and literally forced Bush to build all those FEMA camps.
He found that out after he was able to become a level 4 Chan in a Mormon mortal combat competition, he got new and improved powers for his magic mormon underwear...
In all seriousness, I love how these assholes completely ignore when and by whom those camps were built.
I forgot about Obama's time machine...
And his so called MK powers for his magic mormon underwear are merely wild and unsubstantiated rumors.
Yeah...forgot the when, the whom, the why, and for whom they were built.
Us.
Falling on the floor laughing so hard I'm gonna cry.
Great stuff!

then so is Ted Kaczynski.
So is Ron Jeremy.
why does he have a Fox news logo on the bottom of his screen?
sitcoms.... they pretty much defined the term "entertainment conglomerate."
So if the shoe fits....
is one of the worst of these asswipes.
I was just waiting for someone to compare Beck to the late night comedians. These idiots all say they are "satirists" or "entertainers," although Limpballs did recently complain about being called such.
After calling Meghan McCain "plus-sized" (i.e., "fat"), Ingraham said that Meghan needs to learn to deal with "satire."
These people are not satirists. They're vicious, vile, hate mongers and/or they're absolutely batshit crazy.
"you have a massive deception because you want to take people away from your horrid policies." brad "big sweaty balls" blakeman
ex-ceo of "freedom" watch is getting on his soap box about massive deception? ha! funny!

The Freedom's Watch "inner circle of strategists and donors are close to Vice President Dick Cheney or held high posts at the White House," the Associated Press's Jim Kuhnhenn wrote September 28, 2007.[20] Bradley A. Blakeman, president of Freedom's Watch, is a former deputy assistant to President George W. Bush. Fleischer is a Freedom's Watch co-founder and spokesman. During summer 2007, Mary Matalin "brainstormed" with Blakeman,[20] Kuhnhenn wrote. Matalin formerly served as an assistant to President Bush and as a counselor to Cheney, is a member of the Legal Defense Fund Advisory Board for I. Lewis Scooter Libby, who was a former Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff to Cheney (2001-2005), and is a lead publicist for Republican 2008 presidential hopeful Fred Thompson.
Freedom's Watch has been described as "a covert 'cut-out'[22] organization"[23] and an "outfit dedicated to keeping the war industry thriving";[24] a "sort of shadow White House communications shop [that] has emerged to help the beleaguered president sell his unpopular war to the American people";[25] and the "Swift Boaters for War",[26] although none of the millions in "swiftboat" money like that contributed by Bob Perry in 2004 or to the Economic Freedom Fund in 2006 has surfaced ... yet.[27]

Is he serious?? Really...Does he have a clue??? Another partisian hack that doesn't know a truth when it's all around him. All he's doing is spouting right-wing talking points.
Just another republican hack who gets paid to say any kind of shit he wants to, regardless if it's true or makes sense.
Why, yes, yes, I believe I have.
Often.
60 million USers voted against Obama. 60 Million votes is no small number. There's LOADS and LOADS of money to be extracted from them, since they are almost by definition dumber than dog-shit and as everyone knows, fools and their money are soon parted.
But they'll reliably be back next time ('10) to drive the "socialists back to Moscow!"
Gay-ron-teed, chers...
are so irrelevant to today's discussion that I find it hard to even care what you say.
more in your life than serving in the Navy, haven't you, village person?
The neo-conservatives have no plan that cannot be dismantled by an 8 year old, so now they are going after moderate republicans (see below story of the McCain/ingraham feud) and comparing comedians to faux journalists (until they are called out, in which case they refer to the faux journalists as crappy entertainers) in an attempt to stay relevant.
As a liberal, I'm not seeing a down side here.
If they want to hang themselves, I'll go to the rope store myself. They can have as much as they want.

I'm not a neo-con or a republican, but I follow real science. Real science tells me that the globe has been cooling for a few (4-5) years. Carbon Taxes and Carbon Dioxide are not the only causes of warming. But the recent "Science by Media Press Conference" held during a Snowstorm in Britain illustrates the desire to "use the crisis" to dupe us out of more money.
The Sun is getting cooler and as a result so are we. Warming occured on ALL PLANETS at once, and so is the cooling.
Do our industries suddenly feel that their carbon emissions help heat up Jupiter? No, because it's silly.
does this mean that NASA's goddard institute is "fake" science? what about IPCC? "fake"?
also, does "real" science back-up its claims with any information, documentation? (links please *colbert grabby hand*) or just mere blanket-statements and odd comments?
Utter nonsense.
remember...it's puff, puff, give.
Don't bogart dude.
All you deniers are.
I hope you've got a way to fget your descendants to grow gills, or to keep the ones they have in utero.
No, that's not true...Folks a dumb as you are deserve to drown...
Glub glub, moron...
If it is exists, it can disprove prevailing global warming theory.
But, if no data is available, why is it not there? Planets are popular subjects of study by NASA. Non-existence of the data can tell a story, too.
I would be interested in seeing this data referenced and presented in an educational format, so we can know what is actually going on, and chart a wise course from there.
GEEEEE its sooooo easy to confuse the two... both talk about the news and both are obviously comedies. the only differance is one makes me laugh and the other makes me puke.
just to clerify....Jon makes me laugh.
CNN and FOX are determined to make it seem that the current direction that this country is taking is as extreme on the left as Rush, Cheney and Company are on the right. The fact that the stimulus bill is moderate and only modestly progressive is being suppressed. One of the few right wing tactics left is to declare that the ones in charge are as looney as they are.
Wouldn't they be called "Limbots"?
People like Carlson and Blakeman would rather slur Jon Stewart than talk about the financial crisis. They don't want to discuss the actual issue that Stewart was exposing, so they just blather about the media.
I saw this yesterday and this miserable cretin, Brad Blakeman actually called Limbaugh a "comedian" (I expect an apology any second now). Maybe Heather can find it in the unedited video (Maybe it is in the video she has. I have not seen it becasue I saw the segment yesterday. I was actually going to give a heads up to C+L but figured they would get it.)
does blakeman realize that he's channeling olbermann?
ha!
Yup the attack machine has been set on a course for Jon Stewart and has now been put on OverDrive
remember when that used to be a lefty concern?!!?
so much of what beck is crying about now, i remember reading and freaking out about just a few months ago, for most of the past 8 years!
i swear - we wrote the play book for them!
ah hahahahaha!
That wasn't a "lefty concern", it was an Alex Jones conspiracy theory bullshit concern.
Too many people watched the XFiles movie and thought it was a true story.
that wasn't a documentary? ;)
that name barely rings a bell... and i was never a fan of xfiles...
but i remember reading and worrying about my civil liberties being taken away and of all the possible uses for those camps...
i can say i'm glad none of it happened! ... that I know of...
When these jokers like Blakeman go on TV and say this crap I just cannot understand how they are not digging themselves into a much deeper hole. They are so "anti" it boggles the mind. I wonder what would happen if Kofinis of some other liberal talking head would say something like "Jesus was a good guy" would a dickhead like Blakeman automatically and withoiut thinking say something like, "Jesus was a liberal scum who wanted to redistribute the wealth and was just like you commie progressives. Obama is just like this Jesus H. Christ nazi"
And why oh why do people keep sticking microphones in front of these wingnut cases?? Blakeman is about the wingnuttiest of 'em all. They just love to hear their own voices, I guess.
during the 2008 campaign, blakeman could defend any bad thing mccain or palin did. why MSNBC keeps bringing him on is anybody's guess... dick cheney could kill a baby on TV and drink its blood and blakeman would find a way to excuse it.
there is no excuse for brad blakeman!
there are few any smarmier.
Maybe that is exactly why MSNBC has him on. To show how much of a nutcase he is. Every time he opens his mouth it is kind of funny (After you get past being so pissed off at him of course.).
Obama...i didn't know you were allowed to log onto this site! shouldn't you be biting the pillow with larry sinclair about now?
Issit just me or does brad blakeman remind y'all of this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIvD0sAyk5g&fe...
...and probably not too convincingly.
When this ass-neck compares Beck's level of "crazineness" to Stewart or Maher, is he saying "crazy" the way we have a habit of always calling people we fine funny "crazy?" "Oh, you gotta watch out for this guy, with his wacky knock-knock jokes and his imitation of Glenda down in Accounting! He's cuh-RAY-zee!" That sort of thing?
I mean, I don't agree with it either way, but at least now there's TWO different ways to be offended. Either he's
a: claiming Beck is a "truth-teller" like Stewart and Maher are truth-tellers, by dousing it in savage humor. I call bull-sh*t since Beck pulls so much stuff out of his ass I can't consider him a truth-teller except in Bizarro World.
or
b: claiming Beck, like Maher & Stewart can't be trusted and shouldn't be believed; they're all crazy, it's just that Beck is a right-wing loon as opposed to those loony lefties Stewart & Maher. Again, I call bullsh*t. Prove to me why Stewart & maher can't be trusted. Prove to me where they're not honest except when it's clearly a joke (this is a problem with a lot of right-wingers, because they can't tell when TDS & RTwBM are telling an out-and-out whopper and when they're using humor to accentuate a truth, therefore none of the show can be trusted).
But your honor, my client didn't mean to tempt Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit...
He just wanted to make sure they knew what they were missing.
imo--spin. diminish stewart's direct hit on cnbc. false equivalencies to tone down gross programming. flood airwaves so stewart's effect is diminished and obscured.
btw based on sheer erratic behavior, seems like beck or rush would have imploded by now
will eat and pop pills and sweat and stink and lie through his incredibly obese face, that one day...his heart will either explode...or he'll pop a blood vessel in his tiny little brain...then the world will be rid of him...
As for beck...he'll end up in an insane asylum somewhere...drooling, and twitching for awhile
I picture Beck in some corner of the institution in a protective fetal position crying while getting his ass beat by interns ordering him back to his room.
You're just kinky.
Attaway!!!
have anything on the teevee's but MSNBC and the TDS!
that would be YOU, wishing you had listened.
You will be sharing a cell in the nuthouse with barney fwank and you'll be the catcher and he'll be the pitcher, and you'll be biting the pillow from now on.
i think you accidentally submitted an entry from your online diary by mistake. better try that again, libtard!!
When I see Blakeman on the panel I turn the channel immediately.
my point exactly! can't take the truth.
just like if you were to catch your wife in bed with someone else, you'd think you had something in your contacts or perhaps that was someone else's car after all or maybe she was being raped and her voice was inoperational and she couldn't cry out for your help....anything but the truth!!
Brad has a way of getting to the heart of things. kind of makes you squirm in your seat, doesn't it??
These dim witted Reslug liars, on Faux noise, are just cry-baby, bedwetting losers and are always entertainment and a good belly laugh.
IMO, Blakeman (who I had never heard of either)is describing Stewart and Maher as crazy because conservatives/GOPers/right-wingers just don't 'get' the jokes. Remember a few years ago there was a survey that found the 'Daily Show' viewers were more informed than Faux Noise viewers. If you are not informed as to the realities in America, you cannot understand a joke about the absurdity of that reality.
And of course Beck's ratings are up, he has found his foxy base. ;o}
ok, but the noise machine puppeteers know. and they know how to distract and disable synaptic connections via the cable/media lobotomy? plus, stroke their preconceived notions (embedded by years of lather rinse repeat broadcasting) and no worries, we're ok; the wingy world view is fine.
Glen Beck's ratings are through the roof?? What roof? Who's roof? and where does he get the numbers to say that? How can you argue any point when the premise it's based upon is at best, dubious??
I finally broke down and watched the clip of Beck crying.
He's a friggin' televangilist.
You can't talk to these people
Logic and reason is not part of their M.O.
No history lesson or scientific fact can sway them
from clinging to their tiny world view.
It's all about "feelings". Primal. Tribal. Animal.
Rationality is beyond them. Especially when it comes to counter
intuitive situations.
In fact, THE ONLY SANE PERSON delivering news out of the 999 channels and 25,000 stupid talking head shows on TV.
and rightwing comedy sucks!
The only thing that Stewart and Maher incite is laughter. Beck incites fear.
Beck may incite fear if you choose to continue to live with your head in the sand and accept that our country is 'too big to fail' and that everything is all right' like many still do, but this is not responsible and it's dangerous. Beck's mission is to educate as his passion is his country.
furthermore, the unflattering remarks about Blakeman are unkind. You people have no clue what you're talking about. This is a person who has spent many years doing nothing but serving his country, studying policy and lifting up the ideas and ethics of those who seek to do the right thing. I suppose the fact that people continue to pick on him and seek him out is a 'good' sign.
He's not a 'nobody' - he shaped two important Administrations and is important to alot of people, both professionally as well as privately. you should be ashamed of yourselves. clearly this is a group of liberals in here, one comment or two that you disagree with and you resort to hair pulling and name calling.
Grow the hell up!! by the way, how is that hope and change working out for you?? enjoying the fruits of MY hard labor are you?? or do any of you actually HAVE jobs?? cheers.
That's the differnce between Beck and Stewart. Stewart doesn't makeup shit out of whole cloth, Beck does. Beck calls people Nazi, socialist, communist, and just creates stories. At least Stewart deals with verifiable facts. Those clowns on CNBC where the same ones selling snake oil when the econonmy was tanking, now they are trying to blame the new administration.
