How long before Glenn Beck has a meltdown and claims he's being censored?

[Atman]

You know it's coming. He's gonna do one of his crying things, sobbing uncontrollably, wailing that the evil left is taking away his free speech rights.

His free speech rights, btw, were demonstrated quite nicely when he went on a crazy-ass rant and called our President a white-hating racist. No one stopped him, no one bleeped him out. He got to say exactly what he wanted to say. He is learning (actually, it's doubtful he'll learn anything, from this) that while anyone is free to spout crazy talk, anyone else has the right to point out that you're a freakin' loon spouting crazy talk.

It must be noted, too, that for eight years the right was very diligent about chastising any Democrat who dared speak out against Bush. But somehow, Beck stays on tv. I've heard not a hint of him being removed from the airwaves, or even suspended or reprimanded by his employer. A Democrat would have been summarily removed on the spot.

Damned liberal media.

2. He's not being censored

There's nothing in the Constitution that says a company is required to pay him for his rants or to provide a public platform for him.

He can get a permit and stand on a street corner a rant until he turns blue. He'll just not get paid for it.

7. Uh...I think that was my whole point!

He's NOT being censored at all. But he's going to have to justify his loss of advertisers. Even Fox won't air his pathetic program if it's not bringing in revenue. Beck doesn't have the intellectual acumen to understand the difference between censorship and a legitimate smackdown.

4. He's already alluded to that actually.

Kos had a quote up from him that something to the effect of this:

"Now listen to me. If I ever stop saying these things, know that it's not that I don't believe them anymore, but that someone has gotten to me. And while I might not be saying them outloud, I will be screaming them from inside."

It's not a quote, a paraphrase. You could do a search on Kos. But it is very, very scary. He's preemptively planting this stuff in his listeners minds.
