I think the analogy is just perfect, actually.

And I agree with you, STH. Beck and his group have about as much in common with Lincoln and King as Al Qaida does B’nai Brith.

Wow Glynnis, I have to admit, I never thought you’d actually print this. Good for you. The only objection I have is that you called Glenn crazy in the very first sentence. I guess you have to get in your digs where you can.

Yes, why resort to such an analogy when simply quoting Glenn Beck directly is enough to show what a complete and total idiot/moron/retard he is.

And his Becktards (like you, MichelleF) sure are a hoot tho… please keep posting as I need my dose of daily-retard and you supply it in spades!

Can there really be a retarded a$$-hole greater than TruckBoatTruck? Maybe Bill Press, and that’s about it.

Beck’s main talent is finding new ways to do something provocative in order to draw more attention to himself. He doesn’t actually care about politics, he’s just a shock jock trying to make as much money as he can before everyone stops paying attention.

Using the anniversary and location of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech for yet another provocative shock jock stunt is wrong.

TBT, do you have anything of substantance to add to the discussion, or are you just stalking me from thread to thread? Which is fine, if you have nothing better to do.

MichelleF said:

I add plenty of substance — simply pointing out the lol’s from the retard-crowd (i.e., you and the other Palin/Becktards), but you can’t recognize said substance given your handicap. Nuance isn’t for retards.

MichelleF said:

This coming from the woman who only sees fit to attack the columnists (like Glynnis and Frances) EVERY TIME they post a column.

May I pose the same question to you? Do YOU ever have anything of substance to add other than your ad hominen attacks on people?

No.

“that’s like granting al Qaeda permission to hold a rally on September 11″

I think a better analogy would be “That’s like granting the neo-Nazis permission to hold a rally at Dachau”.

I think you all are over reacting, and I’d bet Dr. King would agree with me.

Shelly, what is this delusion you have about everyone stalking you, between you and nutsofast hardly anyone has a chance to say anything. But back to the topic, yes, Glenn Beck is a self serving moron but Shelly loves him anyway.

Of course, this is Glenn Beck, con artist. The man obviously has no shame. Here he is, a card carrying racists and de facto leader of a racists group of tea-baggers, basically using MLK. Typical Beck manipulation. My sincere hope is that there are counter demonstrations that drown this phony out.

Iris, you calling glenn a moron is the pot calling the kettle black. You are totally obsessed with the man.

Now, now Shelly no need to be jealous everyone knows he’s your boyfriend.

I’m pretty sure the Park Service can’t deny a lawful request for a peaceful rally. It’d be a violation of free speech rights and against Park Service policy.

Iris,
I think anyone who reads your posts realizes you are the one that is obsessed with him.

Ted said:

Disagree. Much like the God-Hates-Fags church in Topeka, KS, Beck feeds off of any attention he gets.

The best cure for his type of idiocy is to give it as much credence as it deserves… absolutely none.

Yeah, I’m sure everyone thinks that. Come on, Shelly you can do better than that, where’s that mean spirit you’re so well known for .

No doubt that the con artists feeds off attention. Christ, he practically begs for it.

Who is Bill Press?

Why isn’t it sufficient for Press to just say that Beck is a nut who says irresponsible things? That would make his point.

To compare Beck and his fans to Al Qaeda trivializes the horrific events of 9/11 – remember the people jumping out of the Towers? – and is uncalled for. Really, this is indefensible.

Press needs to apologize.

Again, call Beck a loon. Fine. But comparable to mass murdering terrorists? C’mon, that’s absurd.

I think Colbert said it best, “Finally someone is bringing Martin Luther King’s movement back to its conservative white roots”

Just one of the many snake-oil salesman on the airwaves. They’re all over the spectrum but he’s the most popular.

Gawd it’s a hoot how much Beck drives you guys nuts. Hating Beck to you guys is kinda the same as when your commie fathers hated McCarthy. Democrats love communists, which is why they were so pissed at McCarthy. Modern day democrats still love communists, and Beck makes money calling them out. Normal Americans loathe communism, much to the left’s chagrin.

One day when you really listen to Beck and find out he knows what he’s talking about and you wake from the slumber you have been in …………..You’ll be sorry.

Wonder who will be crying in there beer then???

Yeah, Beck would ever compare anyone to mass murderers like Hitler, Stalin or Mao. lmfao

So it’s wrong for him to do (and it is; I’ve never defended his Hitler analogies) but okay for Press?

If you want to make your stand on that principle, you’re welcome to it.

There’s a word for such “standards” but I’ll hold my tongue.

languihoooie – Just terrific; another nit-wit in support of McCarthy. And you wonder why true Americans are repulsed by tea-bagging fascists.

The left COULD be more responsible than the right, but that would be naive.

OK I will. Liberals are the racist but like every bully liberal does they blame someone else.

Ted said:

Name one time when McCarthy publicly named names, and was wrong. Didn’t think so.

White liberals are always projecting their closet racism onto everyone else. Racism is THE argument used by closet racist liberals, from the topics of apples to zebras. Their mentally challenged logic is, if they label everyone else a racist, the heat will be taken off their own bigotries. Newsflash, libbies. Projection isn’t working. We have your number. Get a new tune. La, la, la, la……………..

cracker proud, it’s no secret that progressives are racist, hell they’re god, Barry Soetoro, sat in a racist, black liberation theology church for twenty years, and dumped it only when it became a liability. What really cracked me up was when he says that he didn’t know or didn’t hear Wright giving racist sermons. There are two possibilities there, 1) either he’s a pile of crap lying racist, or 2) he’s the dumbest mofo on Earth. Which is it?

Remember when Chris Matthews said it was his ‘job’, to make sure Obama is a success? How condescending of that white boy. So…. Matthews believes a black man cannot be a success without whitey? LOL. Closet racist liberals.

languihoooie – You must be joking. Let’s see…hmmmm, how about Linus Pauling, whose connection to communism was at best, tenuous. McCarthy called anyone who happened to disagree with him a communist (sort of like Glenn Beck). Jesus, do you actually read any history or do you just swallow the bullshit that Glenn Beck feeds you. You sir, are unAmerican.

PS- Do yourself a favor, don’t talk about McCarthy unless you’ve actually read a little history. That way, you don’t come off looking like a complete fool.

Can’t speak for cracker proud, but I’m pretty proud of the white Republicans who passed civil rights legislation back in the 50′s, much to the dismay of the Democrats, the majority of whom opposed it.

Anyway, that crap used to work, for decades. It doesn’t anymore. Most white people are no longer the least bit intimidated by charges of racism, since these days the left throws that out so often that it’s become absolutely meaningless.

Ted: it seems that comprehension is not your strong suit.

languihooooie – that was publicly named name. Nice try, but really, you are in a bit of a bind. As I said, you really need to read a little before posting on matters you have no clue about. I’ve given you two names (there are many others) you asked for one. I can’t help it that you are as dense as a lamp post. Good luck with the reading by the way.

Beck can have his rally and the people who have other views can have theirs, seems the republicans held a rally a few short years ago FOR ANTI-ABORTION and they got 3500 people to show up then NOW had a pro-choice rally and 1,500,000 showed up , did rethuglicans learn? NOPE

Beck will not care and he shouldn’t care, he is fast becoming the symbol of Stupid and when this election is over he will have kept REPUBLICANS from gaining majority s in the House and the Senate.

Keep up the good work of keeping rethugs out of office.

>but he is not Al Qaeda…by a long shot

Highly religious, right-wing fundamentalists. Believe in violence as the ultimate end. Both have zealous followers.

Not that much of a difference, really.

I do not know if this true and as much as I doubt it maybe it is, but a poster else where on another site who claims to live in Washington DC claims BECK has asked the Park Service to ban un-approved media from his event, and that they will provide a list of the APPROVED media and a list of media which is not approved to cover it to the Park Service the morning of the event so as to prevent any “courts” from interfering in “their” right to FREE SPEECH. ALSO that they asked to have only PRIVATE security in the event area and the SURROUNDING area,PLUS that they be given the right and authority to require any other groups not invited to his event be HELD in an “authorized protest area” AT LEAST 1 and 1/2 miles away from HIS event for the duration of his event PLUS one hour.

This may not be true but then it is BECK so who knows.

“Can’t speak for cracker proud, but I’m pretty proud of the white Republicans who passed civil rights legislation back in the 50’s, much to the dismay of the Democrats, the majority of whom opposed it.”

Which legislation in the 1950′s are you referring to? Every once in a while someone will mention the majority of Democrats opposing civil rights legislation in the 1960′s but that’s not exactly true. Here’s the breakdown of the votes on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As you can see northerners were for it, southerners against it, but the majority of the Democrats in congress and the senate voted for it.

The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)

The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%)
Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%)

((message cut))

PS- Do yourself a favor, don’t talk about McCarthy unless you’ve actually read a little history. That way, you don’t come off looking like a complete fool.

Whose history though? The one written with an liberal slant that, at best, tells half the story? Or the conservative slant that tells the other half.. maybe? Both? neither? There is the problem. The people that write the history are now part of the idealogical battlefield. Choosing sides and supporting their idealogy instead of writing how it really happened.

BTW what is your opinion of learning history through the papers of the figures that were there?

Now we’re defending McCarthy… In actuality I feel like McCarthy and Beck are very similar. They are fear mongers that feed off of riling up hysteria among Americans. I mean if you read the history the paper that was said to have 57 or 205 “known communists” or whatever didn’t actually have any names on it at all… may not be true. What is true is that out of all of the people he claimed to be communists of have communist connections 9 may have actually been spies, maybe. Something like 3% of everyone he alleged. I mean honestly, he was censured by the senate, his practices were denounced by Ike, and his tactics were absolutely ridiculous. He rose as quickly as he feel. he was an alcoholic. and died at 48 from hepatitis. Much of the reason he brought on the Red Scare was to what… that’s right, get reelected. He was a completely illegitimate politician, and maliciously violated the civil liberties of real Americans. Anyone that gives in to his or Beck’s tactics can’t possibly be free thinking.

Nonetheless, back on topic, long story short, it’s not right to compare Beck to Al Qaeda, as ridiculous as his 8/28 rally may be. It’s like him insinuating Obama is “like” Hitler, or saying FDR is a bastard. So basically if you don’t agree with Press’ statement, next time your watching Glenn badmouth whoever and call them a Nazi/Commie/Socialist/Maoist/(insert derogatory comment), write Glenn a letter and tell him he’s wrong, don’t tell me to watch him and understand how he’s right, because he’s not. And you think so yourself.

And they were answered by Robert C. Byrd. “Byrd’s politics evolved over his career. As a young man, he was a member of the racist Ku Klux Klan for a brief period, and he fought against landmark civil rights legislation in 1964. He later apologized for both actions, saying intolerance has no place in America. “

Dr.King was a Republican…so eat that, chumps.

Bill Adkins said:

That you believe his apology absolves him of his transgressions, and that his continued success in government was nothing more than an accurate reflection of long held beliefs by a voter base which is 95% white, speaks to the chosen state of ignorance in which you prefer to live, and proves only that the “Old Southern Democrat ” mentality is alive and well in West Virginia.

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/54000.html

MLK was not a Republican.

ummm… It is pretty well known he was a Republican.

I love progressives making themselves look like the asses they are!

Beck is a political shock jock peddling his vitriol and thinly veiled racism (Mormons didn’t acknowledge black people had souls until the 60s) to sell products.

The frightening thing about him is the people he cons into believing his bile. Now they are scary scary. For an example, look at the ignoramuses on this site.

It is America after all, where you’re free to be as ignorant and stubborn as you wanna be.

Bill Press:I’ve watched and listened to you for years. The more I hear from you the better I understand that you have failed everywhere you’ve been since you entered the seminary and left many years ago. thank God you failed first at the seminary. At least those Catholics did not have to deal with you.

It doesn’t bother me that you bash people like Beck. I has given me the first opportunity to let you know what many many people think of you and the usually off base point of view that our freedom (you hate) allows to you.
Why not try to find something possitive to say about something sometime that does add to a discussion.

Wonder why you have been moved from one venue to another over the years. About time you faced reality.
