History According to Glenn Beck

[Nosmo King]

He didn't just ACCUSE he MIS-used his power for political WITCH HUNTS! I can't BELIEVE you are here DEFENDING McCarthy. WOW just WOW!

How is investigating the extent of communism in America and more importantly, in political office, a misuse of power? Most sane people would realize that Congress should be investigating corruption, espionage, and national security issues. In fact, I think it's part of their job description to UPHOLD the Constitution.

But I suppose youd prefer the political witch hunts into Major League Baseballs steriod use. Because the Senate should be focused on issues such as drug use in baseball and not national security issues for some odd reason.

There's investigating communism, and a proper, precedent holding American way to do it. And then there was Tail-Gunner Joe McCarthy and his accusations without proof, innuendo, smear campaign. And that's an abuse of power.

And here I thought Conservatives were protectors of the constitution! Perhaps a remedial course in constitutional law would do you some good.

Its bullshit.

Easy way to ignore facts, stick your head in the sand and call it bs.

What Glenn Beck knows about history he could fit in an aluminum thimble.

I'll pose the same questions to you that I posed to Zona. What specifically was factually incorrect in Beck's documentary? Or would you just rather hurl insults instead of arguing the merits of the show?

I have no idea. I didnt watch it. I am saying he is a moron. I will not belittle myself and watch that clown. The same way most righty's will not watch olbermann who incidentally calls out that moron for being a moron over and over.

I equate all of nonsense with this.....

Find olbermann doing this. If so, I will agree, he is as bad as Beck.

What exactly is the point of an investigation if not to get evidence? If you already had the evidence, you wouldnt have to investigate.

The Senate has power to investigate. It's one of their responsibilities. How exactly do you propose they do that without calling people to testify to what they know about?

You dont watch him. Yet you know he is a moron because of everything youve never heard him say.

You've demonstrated that you know absolutely nothing. Yet you don't even realize you know nothing. So you know less than nothing.

Olbermann's said alot worse and you love him. Dont believe me? Jon Stewart was mocking him the other day.

Is this special on again soon? I want to watch it and see what he is talking about.

Does hi bring up how Che hated blacks and made TONS of comments about how they should be killed?
Does he bring up the 10's of millions of chinese that Mao, Anita Dunn's hero, starved to death?
Does he bring up stalin's ethnic cleansing where he killed more jews and poor people than hitler ever could have even dreamed of?
Does he bring up the fact that Nazism and Communism are almost identical in their origins and their behaviors?

If he doesn't then his video is lame, if he does i MUST see it.

The video is on youtube and posted in another thread on this topic.

I found it on youtube but I want to see it on the big HD tv

It's really good stuff; produced extremely well with very graphic images that really help drive the point home.

What i thought was hilariously troubling was how Jay-Z likened himself to Che in one his songs, saying "I'm like Che Guavara, just with more bling." So Jay-Z must think that all blacks are worthless drunks as well. Interesting.

So you base your opinion on what? One clip? Kind of reminds me of Obama at the Coakley rally admitting he don't know Brown's record yet felt qualified to criticize it. And saying "not having been there and not seeing all the facts" but "the Cambridge police acted stupidly". Liberals are the dumbest people in the world and you are a fine example.

You seem to think that the methods used by McCarthy were just that; call people, subpoena people to testify. When in fact McCarthy was just as likely to say something ridiculous about someone or some institution, then scramble to justify his claim.

But, more often than not, McCarthy's claims would 'modify'.

Investigate? Sure!

Cry "fire" in a theater and then start looking for the possibility of an actual fire is something altogether different.

I seriously understand why Glenn yelled at that guy on the phone. Idiots are a pain in the butt to deal with.

Comparing apples and lemons.
Olberman is a journalist, and as such has to uphold some kind of journalistic standards, as well as get ratings. He actually has to maintain 'journalistic integraty"(sp)
Beck is NOT a journalist, and only has to worry about ratings.Entertainment is his thing and the more outrageous he is the more ratings he gets.
The best entertainment, as i have said before, is to watch beck on fox, and as soon as it's over turn over to msnbc and watch ed.

Beck is a clown but fox viewers actually believes what that dolt says...when he gets busted for some of the dumber things, they say he is being sarcastic.

I like beck, I like ed, I know, that is weird, not to hot on olberman, but I respect his views, and watch him on a fairly regular basis. I also watch o'rielly fairly regularly..
The thing is all of them twist it around to fit what they want to say, and all of them start with a little kernal of truth. Even the "no-spin guy" o'rielly. If someone tells you they are no spin, immediately look for the spin.

You're right. Beck and Olberman are not the same.

The extent of Olberman's argument is to call everyone he doesnt agree with names.

Glenn uses facts.

Big difference.
