Watch tonight and by the numbers, show where he is lying distorting or idiotic.
I will be posting the video of the entire show tonight.
Watch it live and be ready to call the time on the video and provide your evidence.
This is an open book test.
Starting at the beginning:
- Beck quotes Thomas Jefferson, who would turn over in his grave if he knew Beck was quoting him to protect a Corporate Oligarchist agenda. Jefferson hated corporations, and thought they were one of the most evil entities in existence.
- What "might" be happening in Washington. Providing an out for himself just in case any of his data or implications are complete BS. How convenient.
- Why is only Glenn Beck saying these things, and no-one else? Because he's insane.
- What does Beck have to gain? Ratings, ratings, ratings. As FoxNews viewers love to point out, the crazier he gets, the more his ratings go up.
- America is "Burning down to the ground", "Unreasonable Times"? ... Hyperbole used to create an atmopshpere of urgency.
- "Nobody's even reading the bill." - is there some data to back up this insane claim? Beck shows a statement by one member of congress, certainly not a general statement.
- Beck claims that Obama's camp claims it's supporters are "Grass Roots" while claiming opposing points of view are "Astroturf". Amusingly enough, this is exactly what FoxNews has been doing, in reverse for nearly a decade now. He then goes on to say that opponents of Obama are the "Regular Americans", implying that Obama supporters are not.
- Beck asks "who's writing the bills" as if there is some secret "illuminati-like" organization telling congress what to do.
- "Czars" are a post that was started during the Reagan administration. Beck acts like they're an Obama idea.
- Beck implies that Global Warming doesn't exist or if it does, there's nothing we can do about it.
- Beck says specifically "People used to say we can spend ourselves out of debt, it was true then, but not now".
This one is really hypocritical. He's stating that it was OK to spend when Republicans were in office, but when Democrats are in office, it's not.
He then moves on to debt.
This is interesting, because almost all the debt he mentions happened under Republican administrations. All the interest on the debt is due to Republican administrations.
He talks about projected Obama debt as if it's all happening this year, and then makes the outrageous claim that interest on the debt so far is 300 Trillion dollars.
This is where I stopped watching, I will continue now. (cont)
