Restoring Honor / Maintaining Ignorance - Interviews Inside Beck's Rally

Thanks for this info. Good post.

I don't know if you read the news but Muslims blow each other up all the time.

And so do Christians.

On one of the morning shows Beck said he believed Obama must be a racist and hates white people. I've seen the clip several times. That's why he just said he had a big mouth. It's in the news.

oh i know
i was making fun of the guy in the video who said almost the exact same thing.

A recent polls shows the average Tea Partier to be closer to 50. So much for getting wiser with age.

Good point,
Only the people older than civil rights legislation want to take the country back.
Maybe this rally really was about taking America back to before MLK had his dream.

Young people tend to not be afraid of gays, blacks, and foreigners.

Older people are the "get of my lawn" types, who fear anything new and different.

OMG...You are brilliant. . how did i not see the get off my lawn factor in this before.
Obama winning the election was like America hitting a fowl ball into a cranky old man's back yard.

i'm sooo sure you could counter each & every one of his arguments, but you know you wouldn't make any sense, so you just threaten him instead.

Im sure that would satisfy your insatiable lust to see the tea party get violent.

I would much rather see the tea party get intelligent than violent.
But we all know which is more likely to happen.

Yet, you can't counter any arguments here on this website.
Imagine that.

I'd rather have some with honor, than someone with intelligence that looks down on you for not being intelligent as them, running our country

All you say is that I "learned it from right-wing pundits" so you never even try to look into the validity of my arguments.

I've learned that insults are the only way you can win a debate.

So what are you trying to say? Bush has honor, but no intelligence? President Obama has intelligence and looks down on others? What the hell? 'Just say it'? If one would choose to go down the road of listing the failures of George W., they would be spun as haters. Been there, done that.

I'll give George W. the benefit of the doubt of what it truly meant to be honorable. But the comment about President Obama looking down on those less educated than he, is total bull. 'Just say it' ... Made up victims? Name an instance?

So you'de rather have a stupid person with honor run the country into the ground, than a smart person who may make you look stupid by comparision.

You stated it so much better than I. Kudos, good job

Both things are important, but if i had to choose a character trait, id choose honor over intelligence.

I really wasnt trying to be specific.

I think President Obama is a 2fer. He's honorable and intelligent. To think it has to be one, or the other, leaves one lacking. I choose honor and intelligence. Honesty is also important. Okay, I'll take honest, honorable and intelligent. just sayin ....

Since when does stating a fact equate to having an elitist attitude?

By the way, an honorable idiot who is in power can be tricked into mutually assured nuclear destruction. A genius without honor will will not choose a path of mutually assured destruction since it assures his or her own destruction.

Elitist? Sarah Palin has a sad case of Bush speak. She's not the brightest light in the chandelier. She wings it with bull shit, regardless of facts and truth. She's not an expert. It's not elitist, it's a truther. lol

Recognition that Sarah Palin has the IQ of a pillow case is not elitist. It is stating the obvious.

Its the fact that he chose not to reply to the question because he saw sarah palin as somehow below him or not worthy of response that made it elitist

Again, whether or not you believe sarah palin is dumb as a pile of rocks is your opinion, all people deserve respect, and the fact that he chose not reply to the question tells alot.

I trust him much more than Bush or even Palin. OMG! We would be in so much trouble; we are really lucky. I believe things will get better; they certainly can't get much worse other than these ignorants who watch FOX NOISE channel.

Yeah... he didn't really dodge that question by saying he had no real response to that. Everyone in that level of politics, including Sarah Palin, should know that Reagan did the same thing. However, for some reason when a liberal president does it (and I use the term loosely because realistically Obama is more centrist) conservatives are against it. And he is correct, Sarah Palin is not an expert on nuclear issues. He has listed two people who should be experienced in the field which he is being questioned on as supporting his decision. If people who oppose Obama and his decision to limit our nuclear arms really had an argument, they'd attack the credibility of the positions that Obama just listed.

People who claim that Obama looks down on others who are not educated are full of it. They are just jealous they didn't have the drive to work their butts off in school as he did; graduating at the top of his class; didn't have his daddy bail him out of trouble as Bush did so often; instead; Obama did it all himself. Bush wanted his rich friends to have the tax cuts and have the middle class eliminated.

Republicans have a real economic problem when there are 3 classes; they can't function that way; they only know how to go on with 2 classes; poor and rich; no in between. They feel that the middle class is not good for the economy so they create this false sense that there really is a trickle down effect with the extremely rich getting the tax cuts. They sure have brainwashed a lot of people to think this scam really works.

The problem is there is no validity to your arguments to argue against.

All YOU do is insult, so that is the only way to counter.

You reap what you sow.

The rest of us have intelligent lively discussions without you.

And it's voters like you who are responsible for the Bush administration.

No one wanted Kerry or Dukais or Gore, because they were smart, talked smart, acted smart.

We have a bizarre sentiment of anti-intellectualism in this country- people would rather elect a president they would drink a beer with then one with the intelligence required to lead a nation.

When being smart is considered a bad thing, we get a nation of idiots.

SO, if a doctor says that the local plumber is not an expert on medicine, that makes them an "elitist"?

If you are sick, which would you go to for help- the doctor or the plumber?

Wouldn't YOU say that the plumber is not much of an expert on medicine?

Elitist is just a buz-word that means "educated".
Education is a GOOD thing.

If the fact that people are more educated than you makes you feel inferior,
then go to school and get an education.

No, it makes him smart.

Should he waste his time consulting with every moron in the cabbage patch, or should he talk with ACTUAL experts?

ALL people deserve respect?
Even Obama?
You have not shown respect for Obama.
Sarah Palin has not shown respect for Obama.
Does that make the both of you "elitists"?

Sarah Palin referred to the Rural states as the "real America", indicating that Urban states are NOT America.

Wouldn't you agree that Sarah Palin is an Elitist?

You live to be ignorant ! Are you Al Gores daughter ? Just thought it might run in the family.

What's the matter? Too many big words in there for you?

A Shmuck in training. How sad is that?

OH my God you want to talk about corrupt politicians, Hell Obama and the rest of his cult don't even try to hide it. Straight out of Chicago mob style corruption !!! How did they get Health Care passed by buying votes, guess who's getting voted out of office, the crooks!!!!

You just believe whatever you are told, and cling to it out of pure fear and bigotry.
Shameful and pitiful at the same time.

Democrats twist arms for health care reform,
Republicans twist arms for Tax cuts for the Rich / for SCOTUS judges that will give the Rich unlimmited influence in Elections / not Taxing the Rich when they die and will a lifetime of accumilated Fortune to children that have never earned a dime. Billions & Trillions in Americas collected Wealth passed down along bloodlines while the plebs below them live on less & less.

I'm sure white people weren't the only people invited. But then, everything white people do is racist, isn't it?

Well if you have a crowd in the 10's of thousands that is 99.5% white, Racism has to be a factor.

Keep you homophobe references to yourself please.

Of course!

I think it's more indicative than tragic.

It tells the tale of what the rally are REALLY about- a black guy with a foreign-sounding name was elected president, so those fat white trailer trash want "their" country back.

They don't realize it was never theirs to begin with- this country belongs to ALL of us!

I think what they're really saying is I want my country back the way it was before civil rights, social programs and a black president.

They could have stayed at home and had a V-8.

I thought it was you stupid people that voted in our current President

You're right about the misinformation.

Glen Beck is a Mormon convert. They have raised misinformation and wilfull ignorance to new heights. Much like conservative Republicans the more facts you try to show them the more they believe the lie.

That's funny because now even your news channels are starting to cover all the wrong doings that Obama is doing also.

The only people who think Obama is perfect are right-wing nut jobs like yourself.

If anything you HELP Obama.

It's like the boy who cried wolf- with you people constantly complaining about his birth certificate, his Christian beliefs, his Muslim beliefs, his Atheistic beliefs, his teleprompter, his vacations, and other irrelevant things, any legitimate complaints get drowned out in all that noise.

So true.
