Yes, Glenn is a comedian, and he's very good at knocking down the liberal straw men his idiot friend sets up for him with humor and facts.

Actual liberal arguments are usually a tiny bit more nuanced, though not much. Sometimes they actually have a point, though they then proceed to make an argument that shows their priorities are usually way out of whack.

But the absolute best part of this was when we were going to Philly for a concert, and my wife's (Obamabot) sister-in-law and brother decided they just had to ride with us instead of driving their own car.

We're in the front seat laughing and from the dead silence of the back seat you could almost see steam wafting forward. I don't know which was funnier between the audio and the reaction of those two dweebs.

It's fun to both have post-doc studies under our belts and have our liberal relatives try to pull their 'intellectual superiority' act with us.

We usually just play along and let them think their deep thoughts have never occurred to us before, when we both have mulled their 'solutions' and dismissed them because of unacceptable unintended consequences.

I'm convinced your average liberal is more motivated by his heart than his head, and advocating huge spending policies that will wreck this nation makes his heart feel good, so when you point out the bad consequences it makes his head hurt and he changes the subject.

That's usually how it works. It was sure that way when they used to argue about 'well, Bush did thus and such,' and my wife would say, 'and we conservatives were mortified and argued against it.'

So how does the fact that the GOP averaged yearly deficits of a shocking, bank-busting $104 billion dollars during their time in the majority make it okay for the Dems, now in power, to average $1.1 TRILLION deficits annually during their time in the majority, then point to Bush as if he voted those budgets in the House so the deficit explosion is somehow his fault? We're talking about a deficit increase of A THOUSAND PERCENT since the Dems took over the Congress compared to when the GOP was running the place, and they still try to blame Bush.

News flash: Congress controls the purse strings. Bush could have vetoed those budgets, I guess, but the Dems in Congress would just have passed them over his vetoes.

It is our debt, our deficits and the corresponding need for crushing taxes in the middle of economic armageddon that is driving unemployment now, along with the uncertainty of 'what business rule is Obama going to change next?'

You can't make plans when the rules are constantly changing, so you don't hire.

My parents both voted for Obama.

They both tell me, if they'd known then what they know now, they would have voted McCain, though they dislike the man. I think that is probably the case with millions of independents not only in Massachusetts but all over the country.

Note to Democrats: if you want to turn the United States into Venezuela, you must first overturn the law that says we have elections every two years. Then you can do whatever you want.

But try to turn the USA into a Socialist Workers Paradise like Cuba or the old Soviet Union without taking the voters' rights away first, and you're gonna get beaten like a rented mule come election day.

We the People have caught on to your radical schtick.

I would recommend this audio to any person who likes or loves Glenn Beck! I laughed so hard that I cried! It's amazing how he states things that are FACT in a way that makes you remember them. Well worth the money!

I purchased Idiots unplugged (on cd) for a very long car ride thru the night thinking Glen would keep me awake! I kept wondering if I purchased the right cd.... this is just a big commercial for his following book, Arguing with Idiots. Please do not get me wrong, I love Glen Beck, but this was a waste of money. Wish I had just purchased Arguing with Idiots! Truthfully, I never finished the cd, maybe the FIRST HOUR was just a commercial!

This is a great book and I got a really good deal. Thanks Amazon!Bloodline

I'm a big Glenn Beck fan but this was very disappointing. I almost didn't finish listening to it. These are just clips from his radio program. Stew who plays the idiot speaks louder then Glenn, so I was constantly turning the volume up & down.

There are good facts in this, but the same facts are in the Arguing With Idiots audio book. Save your money and buy the audio book.

I thought this CD would be the book being read to me when I played the CD. This CD is nothing more than one long commercial...ughhhhhhhhh!

Entertaining, informative... a bit scary too. I don't consider myself a pacifist in politics and I try to keep up with current events. Beck draws on the obvious humor provided by those who just don't think very logically, and counter themselves all too often. He wouldn't be this popular if people weren't idiots. Hence, he makes a good living from morons who think the public can't see the truth for themselves. Definitely worth owning for the Glenn Beck enthusiast. 4 stars for being short.

I thought this would have given some topics on some more relevant items than it did but I found it very interesting. I think that the money we spent could have purchased something better but I dont regret listening to it.

Could have more relevant topics
Tried to be too funny at times

essentially a rehash of Beckisms. I agree with Glenn on almost everything, but this was for me a disappointment since it was the same old, same old

I am a big Glenn Beck fan. I watch, listen and read his stuff. Bought this thinking it would be funny bits from his radio show. It's not really funny and it's really justs bits they did as commericals for his book Arguing with Idiots. I really liked that book so I didn't need commericals to make me buy it. Didn't even listen to the whole CD. I was just boring. Hope he didn't put something great at the end of it because I never got there.
