Unlimited "Glenn Beck is a nutter" thread

[Halfbaked1]

ACORN are an irrelevance.  Goldman Sachs have the government and FBI dancing to their tune, funding their continued existence and arresting enemies based purely on their say-so and you're worried about an organisation with a budget of a few million?

Priorities, people.  Don't worry about how the deck chairs are arranged while the ship is sinking.

Eh, good point...but I like the chairs this way.

Wait... How was Glenn Beck "right" about ACORN?

From what I recall, the election furor was over so-called "voter fraud".  But ACORN didn't commit voter fraud.  They committed voter registration fraud.  They were getting paid to register people, and submitted false forms so they could get paid for not doing their jobs.  No ballot boxes were stuffed, the election itself wasn't altered.

That's not what Glenn Beck alleged.

Secondly, the video showing ACORN advising a pimp how to play the system for his teenage prostitution ring also has nothing to do with voter fraud.

So, while ACORN has a lot of 'splaining to do, they aren't actually "guilty" of what they are generally accused of.  (They are guilty of many other things, however.)

So Glenn Beck DIDN'T rape and murder a girl in the 1990 after all.  He raped a girl and took her money and phone.

You are correct.  I should have been more specific.  But he was right in that there is something wrong within that organization.

You realize that the voter registration fraud was discovered by acorn in the first place, which turned the people responsible in?

There is "something wrong" with any sufficiently large organization.  Remember about the imposition of order...

Gotta love that Beck guy.  he Kwazy.   

Worst part is that I do feel like some people have no clue what is in the Constitution, but seriously, Beck is of his bleedin nut.

Of course he doesn't realize that.  Limbaugh hasn't had a chance to tell him.

Halfbaked is a fucking Fox News drone.  Has been since he arrived.

TGRR always keeps me real.  I can understand why he says that I am a drone, but i disagree with his appellation in this situation.  Actually I did know that ACORN was discovered first by them, but I didn't remember seeing anything about it in the news until Fox said something.  I go to CNN and MSNBC but they don't seem to want to talk about the current Admins mistakes or anyone connected with them until it gets so big that people are talking about it on their own.  Fox goes to far on the stuff they cover though, always acting as if the Right never lorded it over the Left while they had the advantage.  Basically I can listen to the far Left or the far Right, there are no fair and balanced media outlets to get news from so aside from the AP what else am i to do?

The liberal government is in charge now, so I have to take up some of the Conservative pov.  When the Conservatives were in charge I was taking up Liberal pov.  I don't care who is in charge cause they are all the same, just different approaches to the same ends.

Why must I be considered a drone of one side or another if I take up their point of view?  I play Devils Advocate because while I want to see the constitution used as a legal document rather than a doormat, I find that I can see all points of view on an issue once I have the chance to observe it.

Mostly, its how incredibly bad the right has gotten.  Its assumed if you haven't gotten fed up with everything about them, you must be one of them.

I was fed up with the Left as well though.  For being a supposedly open minded bunch most of the ones I see on the news are incredibly closed minded.  The Right has always been close minded so that came as no surprise.
