Beck and sidekick outraged by "disrespect" of Obama putting his feet up on Oval Office desk

Done, see below.

W didn't spend a lot of time at the white house- he was more a 'brush clearing' type.

This picture is Gerald Ford.

I strongly suspect that he would pull the same bs with any Dem Prez regardless of skin color. It's all part of that shilling for the Republican party which his buddy Bill O'Reilly claims he doesn't do.

It is so sad that these people get away with spreading nonsense that can be disproven by ten seconds of Googling! Even when shown the pictures, they will still stick to their insane point.

Beck: When Bush did it he looked like one of us, when Obama does it he looks like one of them.

I am only guessing, but I am pretty sure that Ford did not use the Resolute Desk during his days in office... this one doesn't look like it. He took over for Nixon, who I believe had the Resoulte Desk moved elsewhere.

I could be totally wrong on this, but I beleive it stems from a tradition of former Vice President's who are elected or move into the Presiential office to use their former desks.

I know this was true of Bush Sr., but I am not sure about Nixon.

Unfortunately, he does get away with it. He and Rush are playing a little game with us. They say the most outrageous and dishonest things, then sit back and laugh to themselves because their idiot listeners swallow it without question.

Then, they thumb their nose at the sane world and dare us to stop them. In essence they are saying "Look... I can tell these rubes ANY F***ING THING, and they believe it! And there's nothing you Liberals can do about it!"

I'm not sure that anyone here is calling him a liar because of this particular clip. Just pointing out the hypocracy of his outrage.

Really, you could have posed a better argument by pointing out that Beck has not been a huge supporter of Bush, who is shown in the photo earlier in the thread to have his feet up on the same Resolute desk. The point is that Beck's outrage over this seemed to be reserved for this President and this President alone. He never once mentions that other President's have done the same, no condemnation of "any President" who has. He refers only to this President, and saves his venom for him alone, and accuses him of having a lack of respect for a historic piece... ignoring or being ignorant of the historic and documeted precedents.

I think the point about the desk is that sturdy functionality and strong durability are better expressions of who were are as a country, rather than the President's desk being a fragile and delicate piece that must be treated with the softest and gentlest of hands.

They can't because the rest of the time that they don't post on here Glenn is shilling for Goldline.com and MMFA doesn't have corperate sponsors.

Why doesn't MMFA just stop with the charade and post the entire 3 hours?

You mean the entire 3-hour character assasination charade that is the Glenn Beck Show? Even then, the wingnuts would say, "Waaaah--you're taking Beck out of context!!"

Why should they, Mag? He says the same lying BS for all three hours. You listen to him and believe him. Has he mentioned that underground amusement park lately? The one that he convinced uninformed, non-inquiring minds like you to believe existed at one of his former gigs? He's laughing just as hard at you as he did at those poor, misguided fools. Wake up, Mag, you're being played for a fool.

Maybe something to do with Copyright? While clips can be considered 'fair use' (no relation to the re-definition of 'fair' a la Faux), the entire show would be subject to copyright law. Or, are you suggesting that MMFA should violate the Law, Mr. O'Keefe?

I agree with you, Mag. He is definitely a shameless liar. I am glad to see you starting to come around.
