Just wow... anyone else seen this?

Glenn Beck is not real news.

Is it possible to ban certain topics from this site? I'm so sick of this topic, it's been disproven time and time again.

What exactly has been disproven, and by whom?

This disclaimer that people would click on was there.. It may be changed now, but it was there and is a legitimate news story.

It's been disproven by the media a few times and had been deleted form this site a few times also

Disproven? when? Oh wait I just checked the files on your hard-drive, never mind.

A poorly worded disclaimer was read by someone and they reported it to the news. Obviously Glenn Beck reported it because he is anti-Government intrusion in private lives. he did mention in the clip though that it is a dealer connection and not the consumer, however it was misleading to make it seem like the consumer was being snooped on.. Interesting nonetheless.

Now a real snooping story has been fixed..

Listen, if you are on the government radar their are already laws and bills in place to listen to you anytime they want or seize what they want. The key is to not be on anyones radar. I am taking my Camaro and moving to the woods.
