Noam Chomsky has often said there's no point in speaking truth to power because the powerful already know the truth. It's no surprise to me that Napolitano knows all of this. I guess he just had a Howard Beale moment before "last call" on his show.

There are parts of his rant I disagree with, but I appreciate the passion.

As Howard Beale said "First, you have to get mad."

I think he's got that part down.

What the ... Colbert sounds like the Riddler in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

"What is it that walks on four legs, then two legs and finally three legs?"

I like the Howard Beale quote on their page though.

I love the guy.

I'm amazed he hasn't been fired, shot himself, or pulled a Howard Beale yet.. I'm hoping for the latter to happen

It's like Howard Beale meets a Shepard Fairey poster meets protest.

It's subversively delicious.

Beck is a clever contrivance. They've just over egged the custard with the Howard Beale thing. I'm sure even a lot of the demographic Fox target think he's a twat.

Wow, could Nelson be any more dense? He clearly doesn't understand the meaning of "taxation without representation" and he completely missed the point of Chayefsky's "Network." Is Howard Beale really his role model here? Really?? And the whole "what other way could little ol' me possibly protest these policies I don't like?" Well, let's see, you're a celebrity, bud! Not a huge one, but you sure can get your opinions out in front of more folks than the rest of us. I may have heard of a celebrity or two who uses their fame to publicize their pet cause. But no, this idea of firing people up to not pay their taxes as a way to show their love for veterans and teachers sounds absolutely brilliant. And does anyone really believe Nelson is going to go through with this and sit in jail as a Republican martyr? Gah, the idiocy level has reached the point that I AM MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! Oh, sorry, I meant to steal this quote from "Network:"
"[FOX is] not a respectable network. [They're] a whorehouse network, and [they] have to take whatever [they] can get."
