I wouldn't pretend to have opened any windows into the soul of Glenn Beck. Still, it appears that he's experimenting with justifying violent, terrorist-type acts in the Age of Obama.
A few weeks ago, I put up a couple of brief posts on Becks enthusiastic references to militias, depression, and revolution as examples of "freak show" Republicans in action.
But now Beck's gone farther in the direction of domestic terrorism in response to the shootings in Alabama. Nobody knows why Michael McLendon shot up his mother, grandmother, and a bunch of people sitting on their porches in Samson, Alabama. A history of personal frustration and failure might have something to do with it. McLendon tried to join the Marines but failed and later tried to become a policeman but failed. Likewise, McLendon had a list of people who had "wronged" him at his factory job and appeared to be involved in some sort of family dispute.
But right now, there's no public information on what kind of guy he was, how exactly he felt wronged, or what triggered his murderous rampage.
And there might not ever be any good information. McLendon killed a number of the people who knew him best.
But that didn't stop Glenn Beck from speculating.
According to Beck, McClendon's problem might have been that he was one of the people who's been "disenfranchised" by the recent liberal turn in American politics and social attitudes.
But as I'm listening to him. I'm thinking about the American people that feel disenfranchised right now. That feel like nobody's hearing their voice. The government isn't hearing their voice. Even if you call, they don't listen to you on both sides. If you're a conservative, you're called a racist. You want to starve children . . . Yada yada yada. And every time they do speak out, they're shut down by political correctness. How do you not have those people turn into that guy?Beck's theory here is that people on the right are being "silenced" and that mass murders like the one perpetrated by McLendon could be a reaction to the sense of exclusion. One example of what Beck's talking about is the attack on a Unitarian Universalist Church outside Knoxville, TN where Jim D. Adkisson tried to kill as "many liberals as possible." The logic here would be that Adkisson was so fed up with the shaming he felt from the media about racism, homophobia, and the other ways that he lashed out.
The question with this kind of argument is whether Glenn Beck is justifying mass murder as a legitimate expression of right-wing grievance against a liberal society. My impression is that Beck is experimenting with that possibility but has not quite made up his mind and is taking care about risking his cushy gig on Fox. Even Fox might have a hard time defending Beck if he began to openly justify domestic terrorism.
Still, Barack Obama has only been in office for two months and Glenn Beck is already toying around with the idea of justifying domestic terrorism.
It makes you wonder how far the fringes of the right are willing to go.
I had the misfortune of negligently having Fox News on in the background about a month ago, which I somehow tolerated reasonably well (my mind was on the Internet) until Beck's show started, at which point I could not do anything other than watch in a state of shock and disbelief. I felt slimed. And it wasn't even one of his worse days, as far as I have since been able to discern.
In any event, THANK YOU for keeping an eye on that wingnut's ravings. And if you haven't checked out Colbert's "Bunker of Doom" (a hilarious send-up of the earlier Beck episode you reference in your post), I would HIGHLY recommend it:
Back then, right-wing theocratic militants only had short-wave radio and primitive computer bulletin-boards to spread their agitprop.
Now they've got a major "news" network.
You do a great service, however, by enlightening us about the sources for some of the more dangerous crap that is about to go on.
Alas though, other pushy idiots will take their place. Wingnuts seem to need spokespeople like themselves to keep the invective flowing.
On the other hand, conservatism is never wrong, and never the cause of anything bad. The only way a conservative can go wrong is by not being conservative enough.
If a liberal spits on the sidewalk, well, that's what liberals do. If a conservative spits on the sidewalk, he's acting like a liberal.
So I'm not surprised that liberals are blamed for some massacre done by a nutcase. It's their fault for everything.
Did anyone watch his show last night? We did, and even though I don't agree with some of it, I understood where he was coming from.

I see your comment was the only one with some semblance of common sense without all the name calling that goes with the liberal postings. It's what they do when they have no coherent thoughts to share.
How then would you characterize Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham, and the rest of your right-wing ilk? Their entire schtick is based on name-calling, and I'll brand you a liar if you deny it. Are you suggesting that none of them have any coherent thoughts to share?
*I* would suggest that. They - and by extension, anybody who supports them - spread lies, disinformation, fear, and loathing that only the weak, angry, or unintelligent will fall for. This is not "coherent thought." This is anti-American screed designed to incite the rabble.
If you pay attention, you see they are playing a very dangerous game. Hannity has a poll on his website wondering what form the revolution will take; Beck is playing out doomsday scenarios and wondering if disenfranchised pseudo-cons are mad as hell and not taking it anymore; Dick Cheney is suggesting that our prisons aren't secure enough to hold terrorists, which means they're not secure enough to hold virtually anybody.
So Blackflon, perhaps you could expose us to a coherent thought instead of *more* name-calling.
As i have said before, I think on some level he can take it a bit far but if one actually listens to what he is saying (take off the political sunglasses for just a second, I promise you won't go blind!) you find a person who sincerely cares about Amercia and is sacred for her. He's asking people to put aside their differences and stand together, support each other: bring back the sense of communtiy that our country was built on.
I fail to see how this is such an evil thing.
Let's disect your post by paragraph.
1. I did not claim anyone was whining.
2. Pointing to Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and Coluter's bad behavior does not justify other's behavior.
3. I believe you are a little over the top calling them anti-american.
4. Throwing out our government is mentioned in the constitution. Remember, this country was born out of a revolution.
Yes, Beck is a little over the top but it's not illegal.
Terrorists, who fight under no flag or wear uniforms are not entitled to the same rights as POW's under the Geneva Conventions. You can look it up.
6. I did not call anyone a name in my previous post.
I don't think Glenn Beck is a bad person. Indeed, [stereotype alert], he's a Mormon, and in my experience, all Mormons are genuinely very very good people (although I fundamentally disagree with most of them on just about everything).
But I don't think that his scaring less-intelligent people who already believe that Obama is a Islamic radical and communist into thinking that the End Times are being ushered in by his policies is particularly helpful at this point in time in our nation's history. (I am referring to his War Room segment; see link above for Colbert send-off.) Nor is it helpful (to say the least) to stoke white separatism (which is what I consider him to be doing in the segment discussed by Ric). Remember Oklahoma City?
In addition, we have a MACROeconomic problem that we're facing right now. More than that even: A global macroeconomic problem. "We the little-p people" can (and should) help our neighbors get through these rough times with acts of generosity and compassion, but it is going to take "We the Big-P People" (i.e., the government) to fix the financial crisis. Suggesting otherwise is simply irresponsible by anyone who, like Beck, is intelligent enough to have gained a national audience.
Now it may be that if I were to see the footage I would change my mind, but from what I see here I would be careful about asserting anything else about Beck's motives.
It will be so easy, now that we're in power again, to fall into some of the same excesses that were heaped upon us for the last decade. We must be constantly on guard against it.
Oh, I understand what your saying, no doubt. I watched the War Room piece twice and the second time around, I realized that while some of it was "out there" . . .some of those situations, could happen and that while getting all parnoid and freaky won't help, being realistic and cautious would benefit everyone.
One problem I have is that we (in general) have this "head in the clouds" idea that the US could NEVER fall . . .BullShit . . .look at Imperial Rome (which we have molded ourselves after) when they fell, they fell HARD. I'm not saying that we are heading back into the "Dark ages" by any means . . but things are happening and it doesn't look good for the future and if we don't wake up and look in the mirror, our childern will pay the price for it.
Am I advocating another Revolution? No . . . but that card should never be removed from the table. Washington has forgotton themselves and so have "we the people" . . .
March 15, 2009 03:52 PM
Using your expletives says more about you than it does about the subject matter.
what is the relevance of your observation that Beck shares the same religion as Romney? This perhaps shows some intolerance on your part?
Yes, Beck is a doofus. But he didn't justify mass murder any more than someone saying, when we accidentally bomb a mosque we create dozens of terrorists is justifying terrorism.
It is very possible that the people who feel like they've been shut up and shut out by American society and the trend towards a more progressive society are angry. It is also possible that some of those people will act on that anger and do so violently.
To say this is the case is one of the most logical things that Beck has ever said. It's not condoning it or justifying it. It's simply stating the obvious.
To Big City Bohemian--I don't think the comparison to left-wing rhetoric in the wake of 9-11 works in the final analysis. Most of the talk on the left was to the effect that "terrorists aren't just evil Muslims bent on world domination; they attacked the United States in opposition to these American policies." There's a firm line keeping "explanation" apart from "justification" there and there were very few Ward Churchill's trying to justify al-Qaeda.
If you look at the Glenn Beck video (http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/12/beck-shooting-pc/), you'll see that he's kind of excited about the possibility of "disenfranchised" people on the right engaging in mass murder. I'm not saying that he IS justifying mass murder as a way to attack the Obama administration or undermine American liberalism. But I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Beck is blurring the explanation/justification line here.
To Lady Miko--My question for you is exactly who Glenn Beck includes in "the people" or the "American people." My impression from Beck is that he limits his ideas of America or American-ness to conservatives who support the war in Iraq, support torture, oppose abortion rights, oppose any kind of gay rights, and oppose much in the way of government functioning beyond the police and the military.
Depending on how you look at the numbers, that's only 18-25% of the American population that Beck would consider "American."
If that.
So who would you and Beck be directing a revolution (which, of course, you're not really advocating) against? Would it be against the Democrats who were elected to Congress by majorities?
Or would you be revolting against the stimulus package, a cap and trade system, or health care reform? What if these things are supported by a majority and it's likely they will be. Obama's approval numbers jumped substantially after his speech on the budget.
Perhaps you would want to launch a revolution against the 65-70% of the voting population that supports Obama? Against the East Coast, West Coast, or most of the cities in general?
Good luck with that?
Perhaps they've been "disenfranchised" by the bigwigs on Wall Street who not only took everybody's money, but laughed about it, too, and got away with it? Maybe he feels "disenfranchised" by a "health care system" that costs 50x more than it delivers? Or, like so many of us, perhaps this poor man felt "disenfranchised" by the squandering of our treasure and our good name by the "war on terror"?
Could it be that some of those issues might be at the heart of this man's disintegration?
Of course not. It's because of the "liberal" turn of events. What utter cluelessness.
Thanks, Mr. Caric, for watching the virtually unwatchable and posting this essay.
We should all go back and watch "Hotel Rwanda" and study the terrible events there to discover just why the unanswered bigots and fanatics MUST be answered, challenged, and routed out into the open. At every turn. I do not think Beck by himself is as bad as all that, but I do think that Hannity, Coulter (especially), Bill-O, and Limbo, taken as a group, have utterly denigrated the discourse into "us vs. them". There posit no policy discussions, no solutions, nothing beyong "libruls R destroying aMurica an' here's an example...."
We cannot hope to solve our very big problems with that as the other half of the discussion. Seriously.
Is the right really going to go into their survivalist bunkers over universal health insurance?
Maybe, but I have a hard time seeing it right now.
But the question mark after "Good luck with that" was an editing error not a choice.
Our govt has been corrrupt for several years and BOTH parties are guilty of adding to it. That needs to change, period. Congress doesn't give a flying fruit cake about people: they're more concerned with keeping their seats and their bribe quota, that's why shit doesn't get done.
I grew into a pretty liberal young man, but I am horrified at times by the way people like my parents are vilified by the left. Casting traditional people as rabid hate-mongers is a form of de-humanization and gives guys like Beck their bunker mentality.
The same left that argues that 99% of Muslims are decent people, (with which I agree), ridicules and marginalizes traditional American people who are progressive by Muslim standards.
The fact the guy has his own show testifies to the fact that FOX will risk a loose canon saying the wrong thing for ratings' sake. He will say the wrong thing someday, and some marginal person will take him at his word. Then FOX will have no choice but to can his psycho ass.
Still, Beck is arguing that someone might be moved to act this way out of desperation rather than only insanity, though he weirdly starts by saying the opposite, that the shooter is clearly insane. It so happens that he has an ideological stake in demonstrating that liberal policies are making people desperate, but don't progressives have a similar stake in demonstrating the effects of American imperialism? The dividing line is not between empathy and sympathy. We can sympathize with the grievances of terrorists (when they even have coherent grievances, which isn't often the case) while still fighting against their tactics. Beck clearly feels for the people driven to violence by their supposed disenfranchisement, though such people might be just as illusory as the "rational terrorist", but nothing he says indicates that he supports this violence.
It may be that you could decide, based on some gleam in his eye, what his actual thoughts are, but I am not so bold. We need to take the accusation of advocating mass murder more seriously, and give it a higher burden of proof than some foggy assumption about his inner life. Beck has said plenty of despicable things in his life. In this case, it would be perfectly appropriate to point out his hypocrisy—If he had his way, how quickly would he send one us to the electric chair for expressing similar compassion? But this kind of accusation interferes with our own purposes. Reasoned dialogue is impossible with someone like Glenn Beck, but we alienate more than just him with this kind of talk.
republicans are the weeenies and liberals are the bun..
just wish they didn't fit so well together
If they are off base, then the millions who listen to them are also off base. But that begs the question, if they are wrong, who is right and why do these people have all the ratings and not the people you think are right?
I am a businessman. I know many very conservative people. For the most part, they have been disgusted with the likes of Rush, Beck, Hannity, and certainly Coulter.
It is really those that choose to be uninformed or illinformed, who dont want to waste brainpower on thinking through positions who feed these idiots. Want proof? How many of you have 2 Clear Channel stations on your AM radio dial? 2 that serve up Rush and Ed Schultz, or Thom Hartmann opposite Rush or Glen Beck? Why? IT MAKES MONEY.
If you want to call me stupid for this, I will accept it. But I believe the right wingnuts on the air are there for the money and attention, not for any real conviction. They spew their crap because it makes them money, they get airtime because it makes money for the Clear Channel and Fox type owners.
And yes, Beck is just another avaricious scumbag willing to sell country for mammon.
Oh, my dad voted for Obama.
But the majority of middle america cons are not a bloodthirsy mob that wants to impose some kind of dystopian theocracy.
There are plenty of decent, kind people that believe in women's rights but also believe that a fetus is a full-fledged human being, who do not hate gays but believe that marriage is a sacred, religious institution that is the foundation of the man- woman -children nuclear family, even that Bush found himself in unchartered territory and did not come close to the liberty-for-security swaps of the past, like internment of Japanese citizens during WWII.
By all means, continue to try to persuade these people. And yes, I know that some on the right vilify the Left as neo-Stalinists, but more often I hear them characterize liberals as well-meaning "do-gooders" who foul things up on accident. Liberals may chafe at this, but they are better served by offering up a similar portrayal of cons.
Americans on both sides of the divide are crying, in the words of The Animals, "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood!"

Liberal=one who panders to the mindless whims of the masses.
March 16, 2009 09:29 AM
Your lack of education and proper upbringing is astounding.
We have a country deeply divided, and as I have reported over and over again, many that just cannot stomach the idea of an Obama Presidency. These people tend to be guns owners, who most recently began stockpiling ammunition to the point of making both guns and ammo relatively scarce commodities. This behavior has increased since the election and walks hand in hand with fear over the difficult economic situation.
Entangle this political anger with job loss and home foreclosure, and we will see millions of potential powder kegs erupting around us. If only people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh could see that supporting the new President and showing some unity would lessen the growing frenzy for radical violent behavior within the "disenfranchised'.
Seriously, if Rush didn't tell them it was so, many would not even pause to worry about it. Many are consumed by the trials of everyday life. Their political views come from what they listen to while in the car on the way to work, or to the store, or to the local bar, and much of it does nothing but fuel anger and hatred in the masses...Beck himself could be held responsible for some of this behavior, if only in a moral sense...
March 16, 2009 11:20 AM
OH! The irony!!!!!!
The MAJORITY of the victims were FEMALE.
Due to that, I have questions about his motivation.
The killer wanted to be a cop.
Hmmmm, what does THAT tell us about the types who usually seek to become one of "those"?
Chances are that he was a phyiscal coward who didn't fit in which is a trait of both most cops and people who do things like the shotter did.
I am politically indpendent with liberal leanings.
As a REAL American who actually volunteered to go to Nam, I detest ANOTHER physical coward~~the chicken shit punk who hid behind a bar in Ala during that hell time.
I stated that I have lib leanings.
WOW!! I am NOT a neogoon yet, I own guns.
I also am NOT afraid that Prez O will "take them away".
Isn't it typically duplicitous that the neogoon screamers like this Beckerhead talk about Prez O "taking our guns" yet, when something like this happens, its kind is all up in arms(perfect pun) about them?
I don't listen to the so called "news" on tv as, it is slanted by whichever agenda hiding network's talking heads are reading it.
I commented in another blog here about this guy and saw the typical anti's "It's the gun's fault" diatribes.
I stated that, if I really wanted to do something to someone to really take their ass apart, I would MUCH rather use my hands than shoot them.
My rational thinking is sufficiently correct that I KNOW if you kill someone, you cannot hurt them.
If you beat them down, you CAN hurt them and, they are still alive to feel what I wanted to do to them.
Of course, at those times when I don't want to beat someone, this perfectly expresses my attitude,
Humiliating someone is so much better than hitting them.
It takes them longer to get over it.
Of course, this is exponentially easier to do to the neogoon ,religiomatic fundie crowd that those of us who are actually able to have an original thought.lol
Those of you who have a sense of humor understand that I'm having a good time here.
To call the subject of the blog a shitbag is to insult the world's shitbags.
Here in Wisconsin, when we troll, we bring back walleye.
You only bring back the fish story.
Well, since it's almost 60o & sunny today, XJS AND ME are going to go for a ride with the top down.
When Leary stated he was _not_, and looked confused as to why Beck would level such an accusation, Beck followed up with, "I'm an alcoholic. That is, I mean, a recovering alcoholic."
How pathetic is that? To use the ruse of accusing someone else of something so you can announce you are. So much for finding legitimate common ground when interviewing.
Beck wants to be liked at all costs...to others.
I find his small pudgy hands a complete turn-off, and most likely, indicative of his brain size.
As an Independent I like and listen to Fox News, but not Glen Beck.
He is the Jerry Springer of the that particular news milieu.

After reading, you must destroy yourself.

You're a businessman. Then you should understand.
"How many of you have 2 Clear Channel stations on your AM radio dial? 2 that serve up Rush and Ed Schultz, or Thom Hartmann opposite Rush or Glen Beck? Why? IT MAKES MONEY."
It makes money because people listen to it. If there were not millions listening every day then there would be no ratings and therefore no money. Which is why these people are still on the air and Air America went BK.
BTW, did you hear that Beck won 2 very big radio awards Saturday night? I wonder why, could it be because people want to listen to him?
I think most of it is just cheap pandering. He's not sincere, just indulging in hyperbole. But I think it's irresponsible to casually bring up the use of fireams as a political method, in even the most offhand manner.
To me, it's the verbal equivalent of pointing an actual rifle or pistol at someone. You might personally "be sure" that it isn't loaded. Your subjective certainty means nothing. It's just plain unsafe.
The last time I heard Beck do this, it was a couple of months before the 2008 election. Beck had Ted Nugent on as a guest, and was really laying it on thick, playing up to Nugent. A Nuge wannabe.
At one point, Beck went into his "don't you think there's going to come a day when people just get their guns and..." spiel.
Nugent demurred. In fact, he shot a brief crosswise glance at Beck as if he'd lost his mind. Like "Settle down. No need to get out of hand, here."
I think that's because Ted Nugent nows as well as I do that this country is not going to tolerate any rifle-brandishing "revolutionary movement" around here, from either fringe of the political spectrum. If anybody seriously tries to go to the mat with that program- Right or Left- the U.S. government going to put the 82nd Airborne Division on their ass, and it will be over by lunchtime. While the normal sensible citizens applaud.
Glen Beck sounds like he's living in boyhood fantasyland. Unfortunately, his words get broadcast to a huge audience, undoubtedly including a few unbalanced people with access to deadly weapons.
Beck has his his 1st Amendment rights- and his 2nd Amendment ones too (although he sometimes makes it sound as if they'll both be gone by next Tuesday after lunch, with no justification for that feeling other than the fact that his beloved Republicans no longer have the serve.) But there's a dreadfully authentic streak of armed extremism in this country, and I wish he'd can the routine of pandering to its right wing.
I realize his response would most likely be to explain it all away as "just funning around." (Especially when making $10 million a year doing it...can Glenn Beck really field-strip, clean, and reassemble a carbine in the dark? When was the last time he went to the shooting range?)
Fun and games. Entertainment.
Like the guy playing around pointing an "unloaded" gun at people...and then it goes off.
First, read this in the War Room: What's Beck doing with his bigger audience? Promoting Birchers (http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/)
Followed the link to the Frum blog posting (WHAT IS GOING ON AT FOX NEWS? at http://www.newmajority.com/ShowScroll.aspx?ID=30edc824-3d2c-40fa-b904-cb1442e2bcaf)
Skimmed down to the comments (it appears that most of Frum's readers hate him), found this: "I went to a 'We Surround Them' meeting on Friday. Most of the people there were regular, working people who don't like all the spending and this ever growing federal government. Most believed that America is getting too centrally controlled and socialistic. Beck's show was a disappointment. Lots of build up to nothing basically. However, I have met a lot of people and we plan to put our energy in the Tea Parties movement. So not all was lost."
[Query: Does "working" mean "working class" or "employed" in the jargon of someone who would attend a 'We Surround Them' meeting? I assume the latter?]
Thought it juxtaposed nicely with Frums point that "Of course, [Peter] Finch was only pretending to be crazy. He was an actor performing a role. Then again – so probably is Glenn Beck. But what about Fox News? What's their excuse?"
Point in relation to your post Ric: Beck's merely " toying around with the idea of justifying domestic terrorism" (and Fox's irresponsibly providing him a platform) would appear to be enough (whether or not he is just playing a role or really believes his bs) to incite the "fringes of the right."
Incidentally, if you haven't checked out this, I'd highly recommend watching it: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/13/shep-smith-beck-mockery/. Most shocking to me was Wallace's defense of Beck.
Wonder if the members of a "We Surround Them" group think they're a union? Or Community Organizers?
I say, please, let them organize peacefully and take their grievances to Capitol Hill. It's how your voice gets heard, and apparently the RW needs some lessons on that, since they really only have Talk Radio and the MSM, neither of which were particularly successful in thwarting the last election. (At least this time they weren't...)
But, Beck does appear to be an advocate for sustaining the republic of the USA maintaining its principles of constitutional democracy.
If you want to hear a real radical who is "toying around" with the idea of the overthrow of the democratic constitutional principles USA's constitutional in favor of socialism, I think you might want to watch and listen to far left wing liberal media cable TV host
Bill Maher and his generally like-minded guests. Talk about being "over the top"! Bill Maher makes one wonder how far the "fringes of the left" are willing to go to impose "far left wing liberal socialism" upon the republic of the USA's constitutional democracy. Thomas Jefferson and the other framers of our U.S. constitution would be recoiling in horror to see what's happening now to our beloved U. S. constitutional republic!
Thank you Salon.Com for allowing both left and right opinions/assessments to be expressed!
But, Beck does appear to be an advocate for sustaining the republic of the USA maintaining its principles of constitutional democracy."
Margie Breaux, that's just the problem: Beck talks out of both sides of his mouth about those matters. He does so in sweeping, vague generalities that don't constitute criminal liability, in my view. But while being careful to maintain a stance of plausible deniability, he has repeatedly pushed the implicit threat of The Gun in the faces of his political opposition. (But "it's unloaded", of course. He's "just funning around." Resorting to metaphor, and all that.)
Beck also lies about the Obama administration's plans and policies, a point which is much easier to prove than attempting to demonstrate criminal liability for his vaguely worded sentiments in support of armed uprising. But anyone with an access to a representative sampling of his output can find ample examples of both in the content of his pronouncements.
Beck's exalted rank in the "liberal media" that he so often castigates (on top of $50 million/5-year contracts, they even give him awards!) does the truth no service.
"But as I'm listening to him. I'm thinking about the American people that feel disenfranchised right now. That feel like nobody's hearing their voice. The government isn't hearing their voice. Even if you call, they don't listen to you on both sides. If you're a conservative, you're called a racist. You want to starve children . . . Yada yada yada. And every time they do speak out, they're shut down by political correctness. How do you not have those people turn into that guy?"
This is rank apologism. For mass murder.
I dare anyone to find me a similar statement of such soppy bleeding-heart victimology- in defense of a trigger-pulling mass murderer- by any Liberal commentator or news person hosting a show in the American media these days.
Furthermore, you will note that Beck doesn't even make any reference of factual support for his statements. They're comprised of pure speculation.
And if you can find a way to interpret the intentions behind Glen Beck's remarks in any other way than as an exoneration in advance for similar atrocities in the future, as long as the murderer explains his actions as justified for the "reasons" put forth by Beck in the statement above- would you please tell me what you think it is?
"...every time they do speak out, they're shut down by political correctness."
What's it feel like being censored by the Liberals here at Salon, all you self-righteous conservatives whose posts I've been reading above? Your words are still here, aren't they? How much persecution are you really finding here, in Reality?
Glen Beck is a liar. Face it.
I you all think that Beck, Bill O, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter etc are such nutbags, how do you explain the ratings that they get?
Why do people stare at car accidents? Or go to circuses? Or watch NASCAR races? Because they want to see blood and mayhem.
If they are off base, then the millions who listen to them are also off base. But that begs the question, if they are wrong, who is right and why do these people have all the ratings and not the people you think are right?
Yes, cat, the millions who listen to them are definitely off base.
No, it doesn't "beg the question." That does not mean what you think it means. I won't bother to explain it to you - use the google on the internets, and maybe you'll actually learn something.
But to answer your somewhat not-too-bright question...
Take a look at the most recent HUGE national political ratings poll - a little thing we like to call "the general election" - you and your ilk lost by a significant margin. Therefore, you are wrong, and we are right.
Let's disect *your* post in return...
1. I did not claim anyone was whining.
• I did not say you did. I said YOU were whining. I'm sorry that it was such a complex sentence, so hard to follow.
2. Pointing to Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh and Coluter's bad behavior does not justify other's behavior.
• I was not attempting to justify other's behavior, as anybody with half a wit would have understood. I was stating to you that your heroes, as you define things, have no coherent thoughts to share as their entire schtick is an excuse for name-calling and childish behavior. I asked you to comment on that. It's clear that you lack either the intellect or the honesty to understand this and respond accordingly.
3. I believe you are a little over the top calling them anti-american.
• Do you really think I care what you believe? Their entire raison d'etre is to attack, smear, libel, and lie about more than half of all Americans - I call that profoundly anti-American. Your team does this solely to inflame the hatred of "the other" in weak-minded sycophants such as you. I see it's working. I am not at all surprised.
4. Throwing out our government is mentioned in the constitution. Remember, this country was born out of a revolution.
• Where, specifically, is "throwing out our government" mentioned in the constitution? And to be clear - are YOU advocating an armed revolution to overthrow our government? (I believe that is your intention - I also believe that you are a coward and lack the courage to say it here, which means to me that you also lack the courage do do anything about it.)
Yes, Beck is a little over the top but it's not illegal.
• I never said he was. I said Beck and the rest of 'em are playing a dangerous game, a game that has already cost innocent lives as a DIRECT result of the pandering to idiots like you.
Terrorists, who fight under no flag or wear uniforms are not entitled to the same rights as POW's under the Geneva Conventions. You can look it up.
• I made no claim that that was true. I made no claim that was false, either. My point was that the logical extension of Cheney's idiot maunderings is that our prisons are not safe enough to hold ANY prisoner. Reading comprehension just isn't your strong suit, is it?
6. I did not call anyone a name in my previous post.
• When you use a word both incorrectly and as an epithet, in your case your use of the word "liberals," it's no different. You can whine some more about that if you like.
Bottom line - you failed. I asked you to expose us to a single coherent thought of yours, and all you managed to do was to make an abject fool of yourself by showing us the balance between your intellect and your ideology is heavily weighted on the ideology side, and very very light on the intellect side.

I'm Eating What?! Falafel-Flavored Bissli
Categories: Ethical Eating
Photo by Riki Altman |
The perfect snack for curly redheads and nerds. |
Upon further research, I learned that the two icons -- laid-back, witty, and sharp-tongued Grill and the depressive and apprehensive Barbeque (who is always freaked that he'll run out of Bissli!) -- were made to attract teenagers.
I burst open the bag and found it loaded with little brown noodles, not unlike the kind one is greeted with at any Chinese restaurant. But these little guys are refried and hopped-up with falafel-smelling spices. (For those of you who need a frame of reference, falafel is basically fried balls of ground-up chickpeas with onion, parsley, sesame seeds, and spices like cumin and coriander. Often served inside a pita -- or on the McFalafel -- falafel tends to be a popular sandwich filler in Middle Eastern countries and anywhere else vegetarians gather.)
It's impossible to eat these Bissli one at a time, although it would provide someone with at least an hour's worth of snacking pleasure if he or she had the willpower to try. Each noodle is composed of wheat flour, palm oil, spices, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, salt, monosodium glutamate, and corn starch. Obviously not much nutritional value there but still the makings of a fun snack.
Who should eat this? Folks craving falafel and Chinese food simultaneously and those who don't mind having wicked breath for a good half-hour afterward.

Tevez points the finger at Cook
| Submit Comments| Comments (77)| Printable Version1/1Play SlideshowClose MapCarlos Tevez?s advisers have claimed his beef with City is down to chief executive Garry Cook?s failure to come good on ?written assurances?. The Argentine striker?s advisers have refused to reveal the nature of the assurances, saying they are private and confidential. But it appears that they refer to an enhanced boot deal and other commercial remuneration. However, the claim is just one of several factors contributing to the player?s unhappiness at City. His people say Tevez does not feel City is a happy place to work, and that he wants a move to Spain in the hope of persuading his estranged wife Vanesa to move there with his daughters so he can be a bigger part of their life. He has also had professional differences with manager Roberto Mancini, although that has not been a major reason for his desire to leave. City officials believe Tevez?s people are putting out mixed messages, something which the player?s advisers refute. The club says it is sympathetic to Tevez?s family situation, and has bent over backwards to help him, allowing him time to travel back to Argentina when mutually convenient. If Tevez is so keen to be close to his girls, he would be after a move to Boca Juniors, but that is out of the question because they do not pay anything like the wages of European clubs. There is also the fact that, given a long weekend off, Tevez flew to the beaches of Tenerife rather than to Buenos Aires. Tevez?s statement released on Sunday night said that he has issues with certain executives and individuals, which appeared to be a shot at chief executive Cook and football administrator Brian Marwood. Question That now appears to have been narrowed down to chief executive Cook, but it still poses the question of what the fall-out was about. City have made the point that Tevez and Cook would not normally deal with each other, unless in matters of a financial nature, which backs up their view that the whole problem is about money. Tevez?s people have ridiculed that view, saying the fall-out was clearly not a face-to-face affair, but had been through the medium of the Argentine?s advisor Kia Joorabchian. Tevez?s camp have made it plain that the player?s problem with Cook was not a personal one, but because the chief executive failed to give him certain ?assurances?. The upshot from Tevez?s camp is that the player is now unhappy at City and wants to go, although they have denied he ever said he would walk out and played his last game for the club, as reported elsewhere. They say the situation with his daughters is a major factor, and Tevez feels that if he moves to a Spanish-speaking country ? clearly Spain ? he has a chance of persuading his estranged wife to move there. The central figure in all this is Joorabchian, whom City believe is behind the whole affair. Joorabchian denies that emphatically, claiming he is acting on Tevez?s wishes. The former car salesman, who also advises former City boss Mark Hughes, has made a pretty penny out of Tevez, taking cuts from his moves from Corinthians to West Ham, to United and thence to City. While he stays with the Blues, Arsenal fan Joorabchian makes nothing out of him, and that has inspired the belief at City that Joorabchian is behind Tevez?s sudden desire to leave. He has also been trying to ride the Blues gravy train in other ways, seeking to get involved in the Robinho deal and the aborted Kaka move, after which Cook said City ?did not need and did not seek? his help. Joorabchian and his ilk like to oil the wheels of the transfer merry-go-round, because the faster it goes, the better the spin-offs. The problem City face is that Tevez is very loyal to Joorabchian, who he credits with turning him from a poverty-stricken kid from Buenos Aires into a multi-millionaire. That kind of debt goes a long way on the mean streets of Fort Apache. Tevez?s retort that he had asked to leave in August, and had been offered a new contract, was utterly refuted by City, who have a strict policy of not renegotiating deals during the season. The Blues say there were some talks in August about a boot deal and other commercial agreements, but not a playing contract, and that there had been no intimation from Tevez that he wanted to leave. Suspended ?There has been no expression from Carlos, to anyone at City, that he wanted to leave in the summer. We totally reject the claim that he told us he wanted to leave in August,? an insider told M.E.N. Sport. But it is difficult to discern what Tevez will get out of this sorry affair. He is already possibly the world?s highest-paid player ? one thing to emerge from the manoeuvring of the last three days is that he gets a staggering £230,000 a week. He also has a manager who has allowed him to fly back to see his family whenever it has been possible, and gave him an extra day off after he was suspended following a booking for kicking the ball away. There was also a suggestion that Tevez had had enough of living in England, although that seems to have become a disenchantment of living in Manchester. That appeared to suggest Tevez was considering a move to Chelsea, the only club in this country who could feasibly afford him. But his people have ruled out any move to the Londoners, and say the player is instead intent on heading to a Spanish-speaking country. City fans have also been puzzled by what seems to be a quick turnaround for someone who recently moved into a new house in Mottram St Andrew with a longer deal, signing for two years with an option for a third. It would also be a strange U-turn from the man who invited the club website?s cameras into his home, and talked freely about his future at City just three weeks ago. There were no guns held to his head to conduct that interview, and any suggestions he was forced to do it do not ring true to anyone who has asked Tevez for a few words.

Everyone in here is a newbie (2 months for me), and we are all seeing the same stuff, and approximately the same time, and we are all learning from each other, as well as from the experienced hands in here who help us all out. My bet is that we all tend to learn things in approximately the same sequence, too. And we've all asked the same questions (like, "Did I ruin my beer?"). So, let's share. What did you learn this week? I learned two things this week. 1. I learned to divide up the DME, and add some at the beginning and some at the end, made a huge difference to the color, and the flavor and texture of the wort. 2. The really big thing I learned is how to use IBU's (rather than weight) for the hops additions. Huge difference when you can look at the package of hops, and KNOW how to adjust on the fly to achieve the result you want. So, how about you
'Tis himself In the fermenters: nada In the bottle: nada In the fridge(and the glass): nada On Deck: anything i can think of
Learning how to program an Auber ramp/soak temp controller. Will be used for brewing beer, and for a glass kiln. Also cold crashing for the first time, which I suppose also includes learning enough patience while brewing to get that far before wanting to hurry up and drink the beer
I learned not to take a hydrometer reading from the brewpot, which is going to have 2 more gallons of water added to it in the fermenter. I learned that I should mix the wort and added water well if I would like a reliable OG reading. And, I learned that the OG specified in my extract kit can be relied upon as accurate, weather I measure it or not. Thanks HomeBrewTalk!!!
roger on the patience thing I'm also learning how to wait for the beer to finish conditioning before I drink it all, but I haven't quite mastered that one yet.
I learned about combining DME with water to create a slurry before adding to the boil. Haven't tried this yet but plan to give it a shot during my next brew day.
why would you do that? just to keep it from clumping up, or is there another reason? i've just been using a kitchen whisk, and whisking it in.
it's to help with clumping/make it easier to mix, yea. Sounds like an interesting concept and figured I'll try it out next time.
Yesterday I was reading about the importance of water and mineral content, hard or soft water.
I learned that they make 1/2 inch ball valves that have a manual bleed on the side. Now I don't need four valves for each pump.http://www.amazon.com/Aviditi-11014-.../dp/B005OA2JZ0
not exactly related to beer, but i learned that having a jug of sanitizer and water under the kitchen sink comes in very handy when cleaning up after preparing poultry (in this case a very large turkey).

Starfish was founded in May 2001 by a group of young South Africans living in London in response to the unfolding tragedy of children orphaned or left vulnerable by the HIV and AIDS pandemic in South Africa. They started out by raising funds to make memory bags for orphans in KwaZulu-Natal. In 2002, two of the friends, Anthony Farr and Tracey Webster, returned to South Africa to formally establish the Starfish Greathearts Foundation in South Africa.
Today, Starfish is making a significant impact, working with community-based organisations to support approximately 36 000 children across South Africa. These organisations provide various services to the children, including home visits, counselling, access to education and social grants.
Through partnering with these organisations, Starfish aims to:
- Improve the quality of service to orphaned and vulnerable children;
- Increase the number of orphaned and vulnerable children supported by community based organisations, without compromising quality of care.
Starfish funding and support enables these organisations to ensure that each child's basic needs are met and that they have access to social support - home visits, counselling, access to social grants; nutritional support - food parcels etc.; and educational support - school fee exemptions, school uniforms, stationery etc.
For more about Starfish Greathearts Foundation, refer to http://www.stafishcharity.org [1].

While country singer Jimmy Rose didn't win this season of America's Got Talent, he did get a pretty cool opportunity to share the stage with Dierks Bentley. Bentley and Rose joined forces to perform Dierks' song "I Hold On." Rose is clearly nervous as the first lines roll, but he quickly finds his own with encouragement of Bentley. All in all, a pretty cool rendition. Watch the performance at the Country Music Minute Blog. Jimmy eventually took third overall in the competition, but his story and talent will bring him some attention.

Albert Almora, Mater Academy Star, Taken Sixth By Cubs In MLB Draft UPDATE
Categories: Sports
Almora tells the Miami Herald this morning after getting taken sixth overall in last night's MLB draft, "I have no idea what I'm going to do ... I'm not even thinking about money." Considering the slugging outfielder is represented by uber-agent Scott Boras, though, it's a fair bet that cash is going to win out in this battle.
Almora's lofty draft didn't shock anyone who's followed his career in Hialeah Gardens patrolling center field. Thanks to his quick bat speed, prodigious power and impressive instincts in center field, Almora turned scouts' heads all season.
Almora didn't have much trouble with Miami high school pitching. He hit a cool .500 in 15 games for Mater this season, tossing in 10 stolen bases and a pair of home runs for good measure. A line-drive spraying machine, it's easy to see why the Cubs and 'Canes want him.
He's not short on confidence either. After the Cubbies took him at number six last night (swiping him before the Marlins, who picked two spots later and also coveted the local star), he told the Herald: "I'm not going to lie. In my book, I was the No. 1 pick."
Based on MLB's draft bonus scale, the Cubs should offer Almora and Boras a $3.25 million bonus (though they can put more on the table and risk penalties.) He'll have to weigh that cash versus a scholarship offer from the University of Miami; with Boras on board, not many expect him to go the college route.
Almora is the third Miami-area high schooler to go in the top 10 of the draft in the last five years. Manny Machado (Brito) and Eric Hosmer (Plantation American Heritage) were each picked third overall in 2010 and 2008, respectively.
If the last two Miami-based high-school picks are any indication, the Cubs won't regret bringing Almora into the fold. Eric Hosmer, who made his Major League debut with Kansas City in 2011, tore his way through the minors and finished third in the Rookie of the Year voting last season. Machado, meanwhile, is steadily ascending through Baltimore's system, and was ranked as the No. 11 prospect in baseball by Baseball America before the season.
Almora wasn't the only South Florida high schooler to make the big first-round bucks last night. Nick Travieso, a pitcher from state champion Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy, was picked up by the Reds at 14th overall.
If he signs, Almora will most likely join the Cubs' Gulf Coast League affiliate in Florida.
Update: The 2012 Draft hasn't been so great for next year's Hurricanes squad. Along with Almora and Travieso, the 'Canes could potentially lose recruits Carlos Correa, Keon Barnum and Walter Weickel, all of whom were first- or supplementary-round picks.
It's been better news for UM alums, as senior catcher Peter O'Brien heard his name called as the 95th overall pick. O'Brien, who spent his first three years at Bethune-Cookman before transferring to Miami, will join the New York Yankees' system. O'Brien is one of two Hurricanes to be drafted, with junior pitcher Eduardo Encinosa picked by the San Francisco Giants in Round Seven.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM | DEFINITIONS There are many definitions, sustainable, responsible, eco, voluntourism, geotourism etc... below are a few definitions to guide you. Sustainable tourism "Sustainable tourism development requires theinformed participation of all relevant stakeholders, as well as strong political leadership to ensure wide participation and consensus building. Achieving sustainable tourism is a continuous process and it requires constant monitoring of impacts, introducing the necessary preventive and/or corrective measures whenever necessary. Responsible Tourism Responsible tourism is like sustainable tourism, however as often the word sustainability is often overused and not understood, responsible tourism has been adopted as a term used by industry Responsible tourism is any form of tourism that can be consumed in a more responsible way. "Responsible tourism is tourism which:
Ecotourism Ecotourism is a form of sustainable tourism - all forms of tourism can become more sustainable but not all forms of tourism can be ecotourism "Ecotourism is environmentally responsible travel and visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas, in order to enjoy, study and appreciate nature (and any accompanying cultural features - both past and present), that promotes conservation, has low visitor impact, and provides for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations" Geotourism Geotourism is very similar to sustainable tourism and is a definition brought about by National Geographic Traveller... Voluntourism Voluntourism is a form of travel where one volunteers on projects which give back to the community. |

Porsche not denying Webber rumour
© Getty Images
15 April 2013 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Porsche haven't denied reports that Mark Webber could be a part of their World Endurance Championship (WEC) line-up in 2014.
The rumour, reported by Radio Le Mans among others, suggested the Red Bull driver has agreed a five-year deal to race for the Porsche factory team in the WEC from 2014.
Whilst the reports haven't been confirmed, they are also yet to be denied.
Wolfgang Hatz, a senior member of Porsche AG Board in charge of research and development, told AutoAction that Webber wasn't in their testing plans, but they would be open to including F1 drivers in their 2014 line-up which is yet to be decided.
"There is a test plan, and for sure Mark Webber is not part of them," he said on Sunday.
He added: "We can have perhaps some F1 drivers in the future.
"We will use some of our own drivers [for 2014] and add some external drivers - we have two cars and need six drivers next year.
"We still have plenty of time to decide our driver line up."
The Australian has previously admitted that he would like to race for Porsche in the WEC when he finally retires from F1. Could that be at the end of the current season?

Gilbert is too self-absorbed and whiny! It's hard to feel empathy with someone who can spend a whole year traveling to exotic locations to get in touch with herself. If she were poor, raising a family, with a 9 to 5 job, and older parents to take care of she wouldn't have time to bemoan how it sucks to be her.

He's as dexterous a lyricist as there is in hip-hop; his dry, croaky voice is instantly recognizable. He's joined by fellow New Yorker Rob Sonic, with whom he made the wonderfully titled "Are You Gonna Eat That?" March 15 at Fitzgerald's.

Then Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss put the band on ice and pursued different ventures, musical and otherwise. The 10 years off seems to have put them back in a creative space, as a single sneaked out in October with news of an album coming shortly after. "No Cities to Love" will be released this month, and the band - always great live - will hit the road for a reunion tour. April 18 at Warehouse Live.

He drummed and sang harmonies for Fleet Foxes, while producing minimalist recordings of his own as J. Tillman. Then in 2012, he had some sort of awakening: As Father John Misty, he released "Fear Fun," embracing the role of a stylish, charismatic performer. "I Love You, Honeybear" arrives next month.

Admit it: Living in a large city like Houston, we get spoiled. Major musical acts, the circus, and world-renowned art exhibits travel to Houston all year long to provide us with countless hours of good times.
This week, however, is special because three big names will perform in the Bayou City back-to-back-to-back.
And believe it or not, there are still tickets available for these shows (though you may have to shell out some big bucks at this stage in the game.)
Half of one of these musical acts is arguably one of Houston's most famous people. After her sister's Elevator Incident of 2014, she's heading back home with her husband in tow to turn an unusual space into a concert venue. Check out the 10 reasons why the Bayou City still loves her.

Bara's better but there's work left – premier
Upgrades at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital was well under way but more still needed to be done to ensure that patients received quality healthcare, Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane said today.
Mokonyane visited Africa's largest hospital to assess progress made on some of the health commitments she had made during the state of the province address last year.
She promised that various parts of Bara would be "revitalised" through a public-private partnership. Among the units that were supposed to get a facelifts were the intensive care unit and medical wards.
During the tour, Mokonyane was shown the newly refurbished ICU for children and adults, which she described as having had an extreme make-over compared to the last time she saw it.
"The adult ICU used to look like a deserted ward with potholes yet patients were being treated in it. Five months later it looks completely new," she said.
Mokonyane acknowledged that the refurbishments were going well but said more still needed to be done to ensure that people received quality healthcare.
Other areas that have been improved are the general medical wards. The hospital also installed 12 new generators worth R24 million in a bid to ensure that that theatres do not grind to a halt when there is a power failure.
Last year Bara was hit by several power outages and at some point surgeons had to continue with an operation using a cellphone light because the generator had failed to kick in. Management said the generators had not been serviced for some time.
As a result, Mokonyane announced today that the hospital has employed engineers who will maintain the generator on site.
"The engineers will be on site 24 hours a day and we should no longer experience what we experienced last year," she said.

Akhurst goes ex-directory
PUBLISHED: 18 Nov 2011 08:50:00 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2011 05:44:54PUBLISHED: 18 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 19 Nov 2011Dominic White
Telstra has sidelined Sensis chief Bruce Akhurst after his revamp strategy at the advertising and directories division flopped and the telco warned that revenues would plunge at the Yellow Pages business this financial year.
Mr Akhurst, a direct report to Telstra chief executive David Thodey – and once seen as a potential CEO himself – will report to Rick Ellis, the chief executive of Television New Zealand who has been hired oversee all Telstra media assets from next year.
The future of Sensis now looks in doubt. Mr Thodey indicated that Mr Ellis would review Telstra's media properties and the CEO would not commit to describing Sensis as a core asset, even suggesting that the telco would entertain offers for the business.
"We think there are opportunities for it but I want to be clear, if someone knocked on the door and said 'here's a lot of money,' [we would consider such an offer]," Mr Thodey told analysts in Sydney. "But I think if you look at print properties across the world, I don't think anyone's going to a offer a lot, so we are going to manage it."
Telstra warned of "revenue percentage declines in the high teens" for Sensis, which RBS analyst Fraser McLeish estimated at some $320 million.
Sales were down in hard copy directories, fewer customers took up digital products and field staff took longer to complete sales owing to the complexity of explaining new bundled digital and print products.
"As customers migrate from print, they are not spending as much with us," Mr Thodey said. "We still may in three years' time get back to growth [as Mr Akhurst predicted upon launching his new strategy in March] – we don't know yet".
Despite the fall, record sales of mobiles in the September quarter gave Mr Thodey confidence to confirm that Telstra is on track to achieve guidance of low single-digit percentage growth in revenue and EBITDA for the year to June 2012.
Telstra still expects to grow even if rulings on the prices it can charge for access to the fixed-line network and for terminating calls on its mobile network are less favourable than it expects. Its shares outperformed the market on Friday, slipping 1.5 per cent to $3.14.
Tyndall Investment Management senior research analyst Michael Maughan said that "to hold guidance despite the acceleration in revenue declines at Sensis augurs well for the group".
"Mobile, cloud computing and costs all seem to be tracking better. The Sensis declines are worse than forecast but it's not necessarily out of line with the market's long-term expectations for that business, which is following global trends."
Telstra's media businesses, which also include BigPond, Trading Post, IPTV and a 50 per cent stake in Foxtel, will be pooled into a single division to be known as Telstra Digital Media, with $4 billion in revenues and 4000 employees.
Mr Thodey stressed Telstra would focus its media strategy on building networks to carry more video, rather than investing in content, as he announced a $100 million investment to upgrade its media infrastructure over four years.
"Do not compare us with Fairfax [Media, owner of the Weekend Financial Review], that's not what our business is. We are in the telecoms industry – that's where we make most of our money," he said.
He wants to squeeze out costs and devise a better media strategy before the telco gives up its fixed-line monopoly to the national broadband network.
In his last public appearance for Telstra at the end of a 40-year career, retiring chief financial officer John Stanhope said he was still pushing to complete Telstra's $11 billion deal with NBN Co and Labor before Christmas.
But he said the company would roll over its December 20 deadline if the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had not approved the structural separation undertaking by then.

Stock Futures Dip Ahead of Alcoa's Earnings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were dipping Tuesday as investors awaited the unofficial kickoff of earnings season Tuesday with a report from aluminum giant Alcoa (AA).
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were off 13 points, or 20.29 points below fair value, at 13,294. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 1.5 points, or 1.94 points below fair value, at 1454. Futures for the Nasdaq were behind by 2.5 points, or 3.22 points below fair value, at 2715.
Major U.S. stock averages slumped on Monday after a run-up Friday in which the S&P 500 rose to a new closing high.
Aluminum giant Alcoa is expected by analysts Tuesday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 6 cents a share on revenue of $5.61 billion.
Shares of Alcoa were up 0.77% in premarket trading. "Starting Tuesday afternoon, with Alcoa's Q4 earnings report, corporate fundamentals will start to matter again -- if only briefly," said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx. "U.S. companies have proven time and again over the last four years that they can deliver strong bottom-line results in spite of a tepid global economy. The market-moving information will, instead, be at the top of the income statement -- as it was during Q3 2012 season." Colas' monthly review of analysts' revenue estimates for the companies of the Dow shows an expected rebound from the third quarter's negative 2% year-on-year change to positive 1.1%. On the downside, said Colas, that's what analysts thought last quarter, right before many large multinational corporations missed on the top line. Thomson Reuters is expecting fourth-quarter earnings to grow 2.8% over the same period last year. Thomson Reuters said that of the 21 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings to date for the fourth quarter 2012, 62% have reported earnings above analysts' expectations. This matches the long-term average of 62% and is lower than the average over the past four quarters of 65%. Meanwhile, 67% of companies have reported fourth-quarter revenue above analyst expectations, according to Thomson Reuters. This is higher than the long-term average of 62% and higher than the average over the past four quarters of 50%. The economic calendar is light Tuesday. At 1:30 p.m. EST, Richmond Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Lacker will speak on the economic outlook in South Carolina. The Federal Reserve is expected by economists to report at 3 p.m. EST that consumer credit increased by $12.75 billion in November after expanding by $14.2 billion in October. Gold for February delivery was up Tuesday by $5.60 at $1,651.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while February crude oil contracts were up 33 cents at $93.52 a barrel. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was up 4/32, diluting the yield to 1.89%. The dollar was down 0.1%, according to the>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Andrea Tse.
