Thank you Google,
No thank you, Beck.
[I'm out of here for the evening. Have fun with the Beck-clone. He's on a tear because we're dissing on his duplicate! LOL!]
Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale
about a guy named Beck
he had TV and radio shows
and wound up in a wreck
His interview with Massa man
did not go as he planned
he said he wasted an hour
but his followers understand, yes they understand
his history plans were quite unreal
economic theories flawed
but Beckites let him have his way
until he dissed their God
From CNN to Faux news shows
conspiracies galore
he 'pulled this from his butt' so much
it wound up very sore, oh so very sore
"Okay, now, I have no idea who these to guys are, really, but I know that since they're in black and white, I can make you really REALLY afraid for no good reason and that's all the education I need. Check please!"
Becky, I'm not one of your viewers {and NEVER will be}, but, if I'm "gonna have to learn history", I'd prefer it be from someone QUALIFIED to teach it -- not a wingnut screamer who barks like a dog on TV . . .
If Beck ever picked up a history book he would realize that FDR and the new deal were the best thing for the country. The creation of the CCC (holy crap people planting trees! Now THAT is socialist!!!), and the TVA (another neo-nazi organization that helped the Tennesse Valley and gave jobs to the poorest of the nation). I still rent and stay in old CCC cabins in the forests. Someday Glenn will realize that he is the only one who is trying to make FDR evil (oh yeah, and his little dog Fala too!!!)
Either someone doesn't like me, or Woodrow Wilson, or the Jersey Turnpike.
Or maybe they never made it out of middle school and feel ashamed.
Not to mention he has some buildings at Princeton (which, IIRC, in Beck's mind = elitist liberal university) named after him

But didn't ***Saint Ronnie*** say that trees cause pollution?
I raise your - G20 protests to Kristallnacht
Chicago, 1968 to Kristallnacht!
Let us be fair and keep it to a USA and Germany comparison!
Oh! Oh!
...
Glenn this one is so much Better comparison!
Tea Party to Kristallnacht
Fail, Glenn.
How can you have a CRASH today in :44 Glen says we had a crash today.. the market went up today by 44 points.. not a great growth booth growth in the market.
How is growing by 44 points a CRASH.
What????
Fixed.
I've said it before, broadcasting the Beck rantings is reminiscent of spectators viewing the inmates at Bedlam for entertainment.
Ailes and Murdoch should be held to account for this cruel exploitation of an obviously disturbed person. I don't care how much money they pay him, he should be receiving treatment not air time.
This is very funny to me, because I was just thinking of that G-20 Summit in London, and what I was thinking was how lame and strange were the '"protests".
I remember it clearly I believe, I don't think I'm misremembering it, my recollection was of a very sunny and pleasant day (the first day), and there were these peaceful almost amusing marchers, I was amused because their signs (you have to look at the signs in these kinds of things, if the protesters want to communicate what they're doing and want to be understood, it has to be by the signs they carry... the newspapers will run photographs and the photos will show the signs, television is the same way), at the G-20 their signs were all over the place philosophically, there were climate change signs and hunger signs and rape of the planet signs and treasury looting signs (those are my personal favorite) and IMF signs and other stuff I wasn't sure of, foreign words and strange symbols and rainbows and masks etc.
As far as any violence, this is what I recall, there was practically nothing going on, a real lull, and then about three or four knuckleheads noticed there were no cops around were they were, and they took advantage of that fact, and started smashing in a window, to the Bank of Scotland I think, and they smashed the window and even went inside the bank (it was closed of course), and it was just a strange and isolated incident of knuckleheads smashing windows...
But the photographers! There was this crush of photographers, all converging on the scene, a hundred at least, in waves and holding their cameras up high so as to take pictures over the photographers who were bunched up in front of them.
There was like four knuckleheads smashing the bank's windows, and a hundred photographers taking pictures of it!
That's my lasting and forever image of the G-20 "protests", that and what I thought was the most diverse and strange out-there crowd of concerned but ultimately confused people I ever saw, supposedly marching all in one purpose, all quietly and peacefully, carrying a wide range of signs that I scanned like a hawk looking for game, but found mostly amusement.
