Beck: "Why wouldn't you want us talking about Tides?"

From the July 26 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

All it takes is one unbalanced person taking Glenn's words as gospel, and you've got a really dangerous situation.
I found out about the Tides network on my own years ago. I learned about how foundations are the biggest scheme going around, and everybody with any money has one. It's millions and billions that they don't have to pay taxes on, yet they have complete control over it, and use it to finance pet projects and agendas.
Check out the largest foundations, and look at where the money goes. You want to complain about rich republicans, why don't you look at the money on the left, and they don't even pay taxes on it.
So it's okay for GLENN BECK to make assumptions (by the dozens in this very clip), but MMfA commenters had better not! Whatever, Fox Zombie.
Maybe you are one of the dolts who believe that the public need not know what goes on in Congress? Or with the presidency? Do you honestly believe that keeping the masses ignorant will result in a population of blissful airheads who will be happy with anything our gov't does? Those days are gone.
"Maybe you are one of the dolts who believe that the public need not know what goes on in Congress?"
D@mn good thing We do not have something like C-Span to watch and see what happens in Congress!
Jeesh.
Oh, and Dough, the Ft. Hood shooter was a hard core radical right winger. Yeah, he was a radical Muslim fundamentalist, which = far right wing.
As opposed to you, one of the dolts who believes the solution to this is somehow shootouts with cops.
These people don't know what they are talking about, doughie, they are overpaid ENTERTAINERS. They are NOT journalists.
You're being conned and you're too stupid to know it.
Now, really . . . have a good one.
I will gladly tackle the issues with other subjects provided, but since it seems that you only attack people ("entertainers, as you call them), I am going to make my own assumption and predict that I will only be accused of "adoring" the subject of any articles I chose to comment on.
It's almost as if it's your JOB or something- one you're not very good at.
Oh, and you are the one who made the comparison. I'm assuming that you will apologize for your stupid comment, right?
He really IS just that stupid.
Do you make fun of mentally retarded people, also, since you seem to want to lump Beck followers in the group?
They are being CONNED.
Beck finally admits John Lewis was a civil rights leader, but still "stink[s] on ice right now"
Go on--show us one single sentence of criticism you've had of Beck.
There is no hidden agenda. Marxists/socialists/nazis aren't taking over the Republic. No one is coming for people's gold and guns. There is no plan to impose ultra-liberal Sharia law on the United States under one world government.
But in Glenn's world all those things are right around the bend. And around the bend is where parts of his audience are, too. This is at Glenn's doorstep in my book, and in a lot of other people's. He's not legally culpable, of course not. But morally and ethically, he is.
Who are the other two, and how were they directly linked to Beck?
Why do you come here? And why do you think anyone gives a rip about your ridiculous questions and your bizarre support of a bunch of overpaid, uneducated, non-conservative entertainers who care NOTHING about you in the least except for the money that you generate to line their pockets? Why do you support people who use your apparent lack of intelligence to make money for themselves?
Those will take you a while, doughie, my boy. I wish I had some racist quotes for you to defend today, but maybe I gave you enough questions to try to answer. No questions in response . . . "not an acceptable response."
Nighty-nite, dumbass.
Ignorant. Dangerous and ignorant.
Sar Pal
Maybe the non-profit status of many of the organizations involved with Tides (including Tides, itself) should be re-considered.
How about Sarah Palin's PAC she had to shut down?
Are these also, too, money laundering schemes?
If not, what's the difference between the these organizations and Tides? Please add a credible link.
How would an organization that has existed as long as Tides escape federal scrutiny if it violates the law?
You may not like the services Tides provides. You don't have to, but you also don't have to pass on conspiracy theories in an attempt to smear an organization. IOWs just be honest: you don't like it because the other right-wingers don't like it.
If you don't care that foundations don't pay taxes, then don't complain about the rich not paying enough.
Sooooo everyone who bankrolls the Teabag Parties?
This makes approximately as much sense "If you blow your nose in public, don't complain about the neighbors' barking dog."
Although, I am interested in the foundations that bankroll the "Teabag Parties". Care to share?
Funny I've never heard you complain about them, though...
They bankrolled the Tea Party Express buses that went all over the country last year with their fake "grass roots" organization. Dick Armey's group.
I responded, stupid. You just didn't like the accurate response. Seriously, dude, get professional help. You're ill.
**The Susan B. Anthony Foundation
**Conservative Women of America
Wanna pick one?
How are these organizations any different than Tides?
fixed
The only reason I can see that someone wouldn't want to see Main St. get a break is if one didn't understand what expanding the Bush tax cuts would mean, and I thought we were talking about tax free foundations and organizations.
Then Glenn asks "why wouldn't you want us talking about Tides?" and "Why would you hide it?"
Glenn, you should play the clip where someone say "We don't want people talking about Tides." and the clip where someone says "We are hiding Tides."
Weren't you just saying (today) how the government turned Sherrod into a victim by responding to edited tapes!? Glenn, are you trying to make Tides a victim by selectively editing some people somewhere that were talking about it!?
Glenn, are you contradicting yourself on the same episode of your show!? Maybe there's a guinness world record somehwere of how many times a talkshow host can contradict himself in one hour and Beck's entire platform for the psat 2 years has been to beat this record. Glenn, you're such a hard worker!
If you are thinking that the fed will take away the charitable tax donation, think again. If that happens, the foundations will suffer, and they have the biggest voices around.
You mean like churches? I agree! Tax 'em!
