Oh, Msgt Fragg, please. The issue here is Glenn Beck spreading taboo that’s unrighteously associated with gamers. Perpetually going along with this stupid attitude is the problem. His main audience is most likely not a gamer centric audience and all he did was reinforce a false perception to people who like him haven’t got a clue as to what their hating. Yeah, we know he’s talking out of his ass, but everyone else might as well go ahead and believe him, because he’s in the media and that’s what people do, right? Whats wrong with gamers voicing their displeasure?

He would never say anything like that about television, movies, music, or books. Are people losers for watching allot of TV or watching tons or movies or listening to allot of music or reading to much? Of course not and it shouldn’t be any different for gaming either. You not caring is whats despicable. Once gaming is talked about on the same level throughout the masses, Glenn Beck going on his hate speech wouldn’t happen in the first place.

Oh, please, quit your whining, people! By rebutting Beck’s claims you lend credence to his opinion.

I like Glenn Beck – he’s hiliariously funny skewering the liberal left; but I’m also a hard core gamer used to doing marathon Call Of Duty 4 team deathmatches.

I’m so sick of everyone being offended at the comments of others. Grow some skin and put the wedgie back outta your butt.

I applaud you Gamer’s Mom. In addition, You were probably there to keep a look out on your son’s gaming habits. What he was ready for, what he wasn’t, etc. I’m 27 years old and I have not looked for or killed a hooker in game. I try to keep my murder of innocent bystanders to a minimum. The only felonies I’ve committed in game besides story line are the few bystanders is stealing cars.

Also, the two times I’ve gotten drunk in the game. One time I tried to drive. That was no good so for now on I’m walking or taking a cab.

1. It is a mature rated game, should be played by those who are over 17 or/and are emotional and intellectual maturity to handle these games.

2. Parents of any gamer who is under 17 should always, always keep an eye out on their children’s gaming habits.

I am the mother of a “gamer”, one which Mr. Glen Beck referred to as a “loser”. I would be willing to stack my son’s intellect, his compassion, his open mindedness and his personal depth against that of Mr. Beck any day, any time, any where. Apparently Mr. Beck makes judgements about things he knows nothing about, i.e. there are moral choices within the game allowing the gamer to experience the potential outcome of these moral choices; however from Mr. Becks statements in the above interview I would suppose him to be against choices of any kind.

I’ve seen this guy on while channel surfing. Almost every rant is the same formula. I cannot stand his program for no more than a few minutes.

I guess we’re all of losers… Yeah, that’s right.
