Once again because no one responded, can anyone prove Glen Becks claims to be blatant lies?
I want the truth. I can handle it.
There's no way to prove or disprove if Obama is racist or not, but you have to admit that's a very ridiculous thing to say on nation television regardless and makes it nearly impossible to take you seriously without any proof.
He makes many more claims about other things then just that. I can of them be proven to be lies? I really want to know if they have?
I don't watch Glenn Beck so I don't have a documented knowledge of what everything he has said
Not to pick on you by quoting the part of your post I want to make a point with but many rip Beck who have never heard a damn thing he has said, and act like they are justified in doing so. Their just sheep who take it what they are fed, treat it as gospel and just run with it. If you don't have a clue(and I don't mean you) you shouldn't pretend you do. Far too many do this and its quite annoying.
If I don't know something I try not to act like I do.
I watch all sources of media, even the ones I hate to gain different perspectives. That's what intelligent people do.(not that I claim to be ultra intelligent, but you get the point)
Since I'm the only one that bothered to post anything negative about Beck, I'm going to have to guess that this was directed at me.
First of all, I get a daily dose of him. I have an elderly relative that lives close by. This relative has the TV tuned to fox news on an almost constant/round the clock basis. I try to spend as much time as possible with this relative because I'm the only person that lives close to them. Some days I get Beck, some days it's Hannity and some days it's Bill. It all depends on when I make my way over to their home.
It's funny that you mention sheep. It's exactly how I feel about my relative but, it's a loved one so I put up with the garbage on the TV and still go over every day. Ofcourse, politics come up all the time in our conversations. It's really quite sad. I'll just be nice and say that this person is terribly out of touch with reality just like every other fox news supporter that I ever encounter and just like every other one of them, it's impossible to debate with them because they refuse to listen to any point of view that doesn't align with their own.
I must hand it to fox news, though. They've got this thing down to an art. For example; one of the pundits will put up some off the wall conspiracy as an open ended question(Beck is the master at this) then their "straight news" programs will pick up on it and present it as a news story(are americans being analy probed with chinese made dildos blah blah blah ect. ect. ect.). Now, they have their viewership pissed off and buying into the story because good ol' Glenn warned them that this was about to happen. Honestly, it's fucking brilliant. They've got people eating out of their hands and the sponsorship money just keeps flowing.
Infact, a good one from last week comes to mind. He's showing some videos that were made to teach kids about being environmentaly responsible and was claiming that the videos were indoctrination tools made by the left. He does his intro speak for the videos then shows them and I almost fell off the damn couch. There was nothing in the videos that was political what-so-ever. All the videos were teaching the kids is to take care of their surroundings or they'd be living in piles of shit or poisoning the water. BFD!!! It's something that every kid needs to learn.
It's good business but, I must have missed the part where reality and news had anything to do with business.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a democrat and I'm just as critical of MSNBC. I will hand one thing to Oberman, though. He's willing to admit that he's wrong from time to time. I rarely, if ever see that from fox. And, just as you've done, I refuse to claim that I'm super intelligent. Infact, I'm probably one of the least educated people that ever post in this forum but, that doesn't mean that I'm a sheep in any way or form.
