September 2, 201016 yr To be fair I'm sure there were many, many intelligent people there. Agreed. No doubt some selective bias going on; but, it really is scary what people can get stuck in their heads.
September 2, 201016 yr Author Agreed. No doubt some selective bias going on; but, it really is scary what people can get stuck in their heads. And to be fair there's ignorance and lots of it all around. The kid could have done the same interview for President Obama supporters and they would be ignorant of facts as well. It's a universal problem. Beck just doesn't a great job of making money off of it.
September 2, 201016 yr I have to say, when I seen the thread, I thought maybe it would of been something more troubling. What he said is ignorant but I'm not gonna make a huge deal about it. To me its as dumb as Hillary Clinton saying ".....and then we were under sniper fire!!" but i didn't think it was a big deal because people say ignorant things. Your on Beck trying to make money...what person doesn't want to make money? Its not nearly as bad as lobbyists paying politicians millions upon millions of dollars and the agenda behind some of them. Becks haters as well as all the other critics of people will constantly find stuff and the way he words things and manipulate them.
September 2, 201016 yr You're not following along. There is a distinct difference between the message that Beck gives and every other partisan talking head gives. Beck's is filled with religious fervor and IMO his followers (not those that view him as an entertainer) do indeed go out and deliver the message he gives unconditionally. Even Rush's followers IMO are not like Beck's. Clyde, frankly you appear obsessed with Beck. I think you've posted more about him than Obama. I find it interesting.
September 2, 201016 yr Your on Beck trying to make money...what person doesn't want to make money? But people don't realize he's just trying to make money! Colbert and Stewart are entertainers. Watch their show for 5 minutes and you'll know as much. But Beck acts like he's a leader of a revolution and then will make some off the cuff remark about how he encorporates entertainment into his show, but people don't understand where the entertaining ends and the news begins. He clearly knows what he's doing and is very good at it. No fault in him making a buck, but he is scamming people right and left.
September 2, 201016 yr What was up with him saying that people don't "recognize his (Obama's) version of Christianity" (sic)?
September 2, 201016 yr Not seeing why what is noteworthy? The lie? 100k people show up to listen to him preach , he tells a big lie that's easily exposed , he gets busted for it, his acolytes don't care and you don't think it's noteworthy? Bill Clinton lied to the entire nation, and held the highest office in our land. And I'm not just singling him out. Politicians tell lies like most of us change socks, and yet they are given the power. THAT is newsworthy. This stuff is just petty. I'm not a Glenn Beck guy, and probably never will be, but this is no big deal to me. There are much bigger fish to fry.

There are much bigger fish to fry. :thumb: I said the same thing in the Rachel Maddow thread. Those that want to follow Rev. Beck are welcome to him. I'm not going to waste my time on him.
September 3, 201016 yr If, as you say, he is lying and this is as bad as it gets, I'll go with it. It is not even in the league of the lies that the global warmers have told, especially that bunch in England. Or how about Clinton? His lying got him disbarred. If he knew he was going to be outted on this by the Archive's officials, why can it not be acceppted that he was just be theatrical?

That bunch in England has already been exonerated, by everybody.
September 3, 201016 yr Author Clyde, frankly you appear obsessed with Beck. I think you've posted more about him than Obama. I find it interesting. Your point?

I'm all for it. I'm "manipulating" his words? Please.
September 3, 201016 yr I'm "manipulating" his words? Please. Didn't necessarily mean you Clyde. I'm talking about the websites, columns, and so forth that write about him.
