fact checking beck's cpac speech

[Mr.Fitnah]

You can't keep anyone honest when you hold up "reliable" information coming from Beck.

Remember how he told everyone on his show that in the old days people were paying 10 bucks per person to emigrate here?

He forgot to mention that it was a tax on imported slaves.

And........anyone that would rather use a gun than evolve.......well, ya gotta wonder about them as well as their supporters.

You do realize that the peope who use a gun rather than evolve are advocating the same exact thing don't you?

Or you don't you realize that Glenn was talking about the difference between the Progressive Marxism and Revolutionary Marxism and how we want neither?

He just wants to juggle your cock.

Sorry........got lost in his crazy shit...........it's actually from his book "Arguing with Idiots"...

Does Glenn Beck support the slave trade or is he just an "idiot"?
September 23, 2009 8:16 pm ET — 226 Comments

In a chapter in his new book purporting to explain to "idiots" what "our Founding Fathers really intended," Glenn Beck praises an obsolete provision of the U.S. Constitution that prohibited Congress from outlawing the slave trade before 1808 and capped taxes on the slave trade at $10 per slave. In his explanation of the provision, Beck does not mention slavery, saying instead that the provision means that the Founders apparently "felt like there was a value to being able to live here" and lamenting: "Not anymore. These days we can't ask anything of immigrants -- including that they abide by our laws."
Beck claims to provide authoritative explanation of Constitution's meaning

Beck explains to "idiots" what "our Founding Fathers really intended" in the Constitution. In the introduction to a chapter titled, "The U.S. Constitution: Lost in Translation," Beck mocks "idiots" who don't share his interpretation of the Constitution:

How many times have you argued with your idiot friends about what's constitutional and what isn't? You may even show them the Constitution, but the disagreement continues. That made me think that maybe the problem is that the entire Constitution is written in English -- a language that is very difficult for the average idiot to comprehend. In addition, there are several words in the document longer than three letters, making it a tougher read than the "Dick and Jane" books they normally struggle through.

What follows is a translation (from English to Idiot) of several important parts of the U.S. Constitution, leaving no doubt as to what our Founding Fathers really intended. [Beck, et. al, Arguing With Idiots, Page 267]

Beck praises constitutional provision protecting slave trade

Beck praises "Migration or Importation" tax provision in taking cheap shot at "immigrants." In the chapter, Beck reprints and then praises Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 of the Constitution. Beck specifically highlights in yellow the phrase "ten dollars for each person":

Section 9. The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

That's right, the Founders actually put a price tag on coming to this country: $10 per person. Apparently they felt like there was a value to being able to live here. Not anymore. These days we can't ask anything of immigrants -- including that they abide by our laws. [Arguing with Idiots, Page 278]

[Mr.Fitnah]

Ok, so you make one fact free insult laden post and follow it up with a irreverent post of a book review from a notoriously bias and dubious source of a book you have not read and know knowing of.
Dismissed .
I hear a glory hole calling you, time for your feeding.

 

[Stephanie]

you just knew mediamatters was behind this Fact Checking of Becks speech (who is only a radio and t.v host) that he gave at a private convention..

yeah, they are soooooooo the place to go for REAL fact checking alright.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Still.........that is what the dumb fucker wrote in his book.

In a book you haven't read in a context you dont understand, from a source that in notorious lies bias and distortions . Well diversity is what matters in America.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Okay dude.......explain the "context" of this........

I'll wait.........

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

You need no wait very long .In my opinion his point is as pretty plain and clumsy.
He would have been better off making some other point rather than not making a distinction between migration and importation which he sees as synonymous in this instance which I disagree with ,but I believe that is his point.

 

[ABikerSailor]

My point was Fist Nutz, if Beck is so wrong about this, how is it even possible to trust ANYTHING this man says?

Especially when it comes to Constitutional interpretation?

That is an instance of a not well thought out point , That is a universe away from supporting slavery or being an idiot.To suggest otherwise is an act of deliberate intellectual dishonesty .
Beck doesn't ask anyone to trust him , he continually asks people to fact check what he says.
I have been and I have learned a great deal about American and world history .

 

[ABikerSailor]

When Beck is fact checked, he is proven to be wrong.

He keeps repeating wrong things.

Therefore, Beck is an idiot.
