And that protests will become contagious, sweeping the Middle East then onward to the rest of the world.

Since he predicted that a few weeks ago, we have heard that countries all throughout North Africa and the Middle East, (Algeria, Bahrain, Iran, Yemen to just name a few) are starting to violently lash out in protest. And all of those protests contain heavy anti-Israel, anti-Capitalism sentiments, calling for massive revolution, with many of them calling for an Islamist state, and even a Caliphate (global Islamist state).

Also, riots in Mexico have begun, and civil unrest is going on three days in a row now in Wisconsin, and is starting to spread in other places in the U.S.

Regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with Beck’s views or ideology in general, should we start paying more attention to what he is saying, since he has been right so far about this?
Ambush Predator – He hasn’t been correct on anything? That is rather ignorant of you. Even Anderson Cooper and the Left-Wing staff of MSNBC have reported other countries in the Middle East revolting against their governments, and the heavy anti-Israel and anti-Capitalist mantras they’re touting.

Tyler – Well if it was so easy to predict, why were so many in the Left-Wing media calling him a kook for making such crazy predictions?

(By the way, they also call him crazy for his predictions on inflation…have you seen the price of cotton lately, it’s up 125%)

And are you sure left wing groups aren’t looking to capitalize on the growing unrest in the Middle East?

Bill – I’m sure the protests in Wisconsin have nothing to do with any of the civil unrest throughout the world, especially when you see signs that say “Egypt = 18 days; Wisconsin = ???”, and “Mubarak for Governor”. I’d also like to point out the visciousness of these signs…you libs thought those TEA party signs were bad?

And, anti-capitalism has been a common thread in the Middle East forever, along with anti-Western sentiments. Islamists like those in the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist factions have been touting their anti-capitalistic views for years and who do you think was the main organizer for the Egyptian riots? I know that Ed Schultz and Rachel MANdow haven’t said that yet, so you’re not supposed to believe it, but seriously, perhaps you should start thinking for yourself. And maybe take a little advice from your nemesis Glenn Beck, and not take his word for it, and do your own research.
Lenny – I think you misinterpreted what Beck said, probably because you don’t watch his program and just take the word of others in the Liberal media who take a two second sound bite and cut it up to make it sound like he said something he didn’t say. Glenn Beck has not chosen sides on any of the Middle East protests, he has only been reporting on the things going on in the protests. As a matter of fact, he was on record saying:

“I am not a fan of Mubarak. I am not a fan of supporting him. I am not a fan of how we’ve supported, I’m not a fan of how does a guy make $70 billion for his family, $70 billion in a country where the average person makes $2 a day. This guy’s a dirtbag. And I hope to God we have not welcomed him into our country.”

In regards to Bahrain, I have not read a single credible thing that Glenn Beck has said (actually said, not inferred) that would indicate that he supports the government of Bahrain over
the protestors.

Happened to catch a bit of Fox News at 3:00 today, while at the doctor’s office. Shep Smith was interviewing a guy (seemingly a regular commentator, though I don’t recall his name) regarding the “death warrant” Obama has issued against an American citizen in yemen. To be fair, the commentator did provide a brief argument for both sides of the issue – only thing is that he then launched into a lengthy and unchallenged explanation as to why the administration is in the wrong on this.

Now for the record, I generally tend to agree with him on this issue. That said, the argument regarding Fox bias (this is not a question regarding the obvious MSNBC bias) is that only their commentary is biased, and that their news programming is fair and objective. Yet my understanding is that at 3:00pm on a weekday, the programming being aired is “news”. So what was this?
If you don’t watch Fox News, that’s all well and good. This question is for those who persist in the argument that it isn’t biased.
