(Newser) – Glenn Beck is famous for his rants against progressives, and his latest is directed at none other than you…or any of your friends. A new interactive video put together by three progressive groups including MoveOn.org shows the Fox News host crying as he rails against America’s new Enemy No. 1—whose name is whatever you enter it as—for eating rice, “a staple food in communist China,” and using Google, “the most popular search engine among terrorists.” To watch Beck’s tirade against you, click here.

Why does this clown of commentary even bother whenever he's basically"spittin' in the wind"? He picks on an 11 year old boy thats lost his own mother to a broke down healthcare system, along with Rush Limbaughs insulting lies and stepping on anyone, including this boy just to claim he's right about healthcare? Hey Glenn! Rush! How low are you willing to go?

Im not a big fan of GB, but I find it odd and a bit weird that Newser, a supposid News Site, has taken such a person vendetta style aproach to going after him.

Is he really that big of a threat to progressives that he dominates MSNBC, NEWSER, CNN and Comedy Central coverage almost daily?

Its truly odd. It almost makes me want to watch him.

Its like..if people go this far out of their way to smear him, then maybe he is onto something.

Just my two cents.

Obama Back in Fighting Form

President gets his mojo back: 'LA Times'

(NEWSER) - Barack Obama's staunchest supporters have always wished he'd show a little more passion, a little more chutzpah, a little more swagger. They're getting their wish, the LA Times observes. Lately Obama has been all-swagger, delivering a frank and confrontational State of the Union , mixing it up with Jan Brewer , and even breaking into song . And his base approves. "Anybody who calls out Jan Brewer is OK in my book," says MoveOn.org executive director Justin Ruben. More»

Roger Ailes: Beck, Palin Were 'Branding Issue'

Fox News shifts towards center, plays up GOP's 2012 conflict

(NEWSER) - Is Fox News going moderate? Not exactly, but Roger Ailes has consciously made a “course correction” from hyper-partisanship back toward the center, sensing that the public has grown weary of the Tea Party, he tells Howard Kurtz of Newsweek . Glenn Beck’s inflammatory rhetoric in particular “became a bit of a branding issue for us,” he says, as did Sarah Palin's use of her Fox platform to promote herself as a possible GOP savior. More»

Bill Nye Schools Fox News on Climate Change

No, moon volcanoes don't disprove it, he tells anchor

(NEWSER) - Bill Nye the Science Guy is making headlines after a recent Fox News appearance, during which things between him and anchor Jon Scott got a little awkward. Scott and Nye were talking about newly discovered moon volcanoes when Scott asked Nye if those volcanoes challenge climate change science: After all, he noted, "it's not like we've been up there burning fossil fuels." A surprised Nye responded, "Uh, no, volcanoes are not connected to the burning of fossil fuels," Media Matters reports. More»

Glenn Beck Laughs About Dead Tabloid Whistleblower

Foes will exploit Murdoch scandal to hurt Fox, he fears

(NEWSER) - The death of the whistleblower who landed Rupert Murdoch in trouble drew a big chuckle from Glenn Beck yesterday. "Did you hear about the guy who was the whistleblower on the News of the World thing? I love this story. He woke up dead!" Beck laughs on his program . "I'm not saying that foul play was involved, but it is suspicious that he's dead." He then quipped that Vladimir Putin was involved in Sean Hoare's death.

'Now is the time to be part of the solution'

(NEWSER) - Glenn Beck is no more on Fox News: He signed off from his show for the final time today.
