Medea Benjamin

Who does Glenn Beck think he is?

Why is CNN rewarding such potty-mouthed behavior by giving him a platform to spew his hate? And this calls attention to a larger issue -- why is it OK for a right-winger to be angry, but not Howard Dean? After all, this is the same network that dissected the so-called Dean Scream over and over again. But apparently, it is OK to yell, scream, and get hysterical if you're a Republican.....more
