Arguing with Idiots, Crazy Glenn Beck

[jbugko]

Go to the colorofchange - dot - org website, then forward slash, then beck, then forward slash

Get rid of this bigot by getting rid of his sponsors.

[kutless45]

@jbugko

Doesn't he have the right to say what he wants?

[splicedenergy]

Why hasn't anyone brought up that this is a frickin skit? This is not a real conversation. It's scripted.

[RadarKat73080]

For a man who bitches about people insulting him, the title of his book is funny.

[skynug]

Dear Glenn,

I'm sorry your mother committed suicide when you were a boy.

Please seek help.

[jacksonroks]

wow dude karma can be a bitch. just so you know what your getting into when you talk about your fellow human beings like that. I wouldn't make fun of Obama or anybody if that happened to them.

[skynug]

I'm actually being sincere, not mean. (Therefore good kharma should come my way).

Beck shows all the traits of someone who's never had nurturing maternal values instilled in him. To make matters worse, there's a good chance that he blames himself (or his father) for her suicide. Even though he quit drinking, he's clearly on the path of self destruction. That's why I hope he reads this and seeks professional help.

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

How is he destroying himself?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

That's only a distraction, I'm pointing out that Beck said on his show that 90% of the rich started out poor which is complete bullshit and at least 2/3 of the rich started out rich or borrowed money from rich relatives.

Funny that my comment was a response to someone who said that no one can respond to his arguments because they're all true, then when I mentioned that I got like 20 thumbs down.

[petrakid]

That's not true, buddy. Check the stats. 1/3 of the rich, give or take, are so because of inheritance, winning the lottery, dumb luck, etc. The other 2/3 (give or take) are rich because of hard work (maybe greed, maybe selfishness, which are both 'hard work', though they may not be right).

[d3p3ch3mod3]

I just gave you the stats. only 1/3 is rags to riches the rest either inherited or borrowed startup money from a rich relative.

Even if you don't count borrowed start up money, Beck still totally made up a statistic ala rich Limbaugh's quote about 90% of people making minimum wage being teenagers on their first job...

[petrakid]

Well unfortunately you're wrong. I don't know where you got your stats from, but they're simply not right.

Forbes publishes a list of the 400 riches people in America. Some of them we know their story, some of them we can read up on. 2/3's of the people on that list WORKED THEIR BUTTS OFF or had an earth shattering invention, or were good at something the world needed. They were NOT rich to start out with, but created wealth by working. The other 1/3 were born rich....check it out.

[petrakid]

The GREAT thing about America is: the poor CAN become wealthy if they work at it and want it. There's nothing stopping them (except the tax hikes being shoved on the wealthy under Obamanomics and the proposed healthcare plans)

[d3p3ch3mod3]

You're not counting borrowed start up money and other assistance, and you didn't even provide any info to back up your premise that my stats are wrong so you're basicly just spouting pure rhetoric if not outright making things up at this point.

[petrakid]

I told you where to go, gave you the name of the publication, expecting that you were resourceful enough to find out which article to look for. And we're not talking about borrowed money - we're talking about someone who has nothing (or who has borrowed) turning it into wealth. You may not like it, but it is what it is. I haven't heard, by the way YOUR information source...I gave one, yet I'm accused of making things up?? ad hominem buddy...careful not to go there.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

oh you're claiming that forbes 400 is rags to riches, that explains it lol... the trick to that is that they count people who inherited say a half million dollars then turned it into 30 million dollars over their life time as part of their whole success story criteria so plenty of the people on that list, around 2/3rds, inherited or borrowed substantial startup wealth, only 1/3 literally started out poor, not the 90% suggested by Beck

[D2jspkid]

lol, keep drinking that kool aid buddy.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Keep not having any comebacks that you can back up with statistics.

[jacksonroks]

nice "facts" dude. care to back them up with reliable sources?

didn't think so

[d3p3ch3mod3]

"BORN ON THIRD BASE: Sources of Wealth of 1997 Forbes 400"

[FinbarOFended]

case in point, like the audio clip

Beck makes a point about Van Jones, backs it up with facts, and quotes from Jones himself (like he's done with other "zsars")

The left's response?

BECK IS FAT, BECK IS AN ALCOHOLIC BLAH BLAH BLAH

no facts just school yard name calling

he should've named his book arguing with liberal weenie douchebag idiots

[herbs814]

The left smears Glenn Beck as a fat alcoholic. But if someone being a fat alcoholic actually bothered them, how do we explain the worship of Ted Kennedy and the Kennedy clan?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i like fat alcoholics, probably why beck is the only right wing pundit i dont't absolutely hate

[jacksonroks]

beck is a libertarian. how is that right wing?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i'm pretty sure he's pro iraq war and the libertarian party nominated a drug czar for president multiple times, that's the main reason i was turned off to libertarianism when i first heard about it back in the 90s...

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

"Pretty sure" isn't a very sound argument. How about you find out EXACTLY what someone believes before you embarass your self.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i've been spending like 20 minutes trying to find out now that you mention it and all I found was (go figure) a YouTube video called "the positive side of the war in iraq" ... I have to admit, if it's intended as sarcasm it's pretty clever but I don't think it was

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Why do you like Fat Alchoholics?

[DougDaCosta]

The problem the idiots have with Glen Beck is that Glen Beck can produce FACTS and Logical deduction which prove everything he has to say. On the other hand, the Left-Wing Idiots can only rely on "feelings," Race Baiting, and name calling against anyone who doesn't agree with their Socialist Utopia ideas. Idiots claim that Beck gets things wrong on his show? If you believe that, then prove some of the "wrong" things he's said? Beck can prove everything he says!

[d3p3ch3mod3]

I heard him say that 90% of rich people started out poor. I almost called in to call him out on that shit but I was too drunk. At least 2/3rds of the Forbes 500 inherited or borrowed start up wealth from their folks. Inheritance is the number one way to get rich. Doesn't make wealth envy okay, just makes Glenn Beck full of shit.

[DougDaCosta]

Next time you're ever in need of a job, try getting a job from a poor person. No? Then stop complaining about people with money.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

By people you mean global corporations which legally are classified as individuals, right? Individuals who would fire you for breaking a leg on the job because of poor working conditions if they could. As if they don't get tons of welfare money from the govt themselves not even counting any bailouts

[FaithorFire117]

you do realize that by your own arithmetic, there must be only 5000 wealthy people in America right?

[d3p3ch3mod3]

It's not my own arithmetic, it's a survey that's done every year. They call people on the Forbes 500 and ask them if they borrowed or inherited money from their rich relatives etc... It's common sense that the richer you are the less work you have to do to get richer but I see how free marketers like Beck can be blinded by the whole Ayn Rand fantasy

[ZoGoBo]

The Left targeted Beck with Saul Alinksy tactics. They have to demonize Beck, try to isolate him, and try to discredit him. The reason being because he has been successful in uncovering things in the government.

Like the whiteshouse using NEA to create propaganda art for Obama's own agenda.

Like uncovering Van Jones who is a racist, anti-cop and marxist.

Like explaining cap and trade.

[islespatrick]

he is crazy

[ZoGoBo]

Please explain how he is crazy?

[squippy117]

He blamed the death of the Chicago teen on Godlessness.

Need I say more?

[mrsena92]

Good job Glenn. I listen to your radio show whenever possible, but always try to watch you on Fox News... Great story. I love how you have the power to put some real fear into the liberals. Any of you panzy liberals on youtube..if you got in an argument with glenn beck, he could mop a floor with your tears cuz within ten minutes, everything you ever believed in would collapse. Muahahahahahahaha

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Not really, he gets shit wrong on his show... It's nice that he's anti patriot act though

[MushmantheManic]

Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you to beware of Marxist Pants

[Somerandomguy128]

Cool story bro.

[ZoGoBo]

Marxists murdered millions of their own citizens in the last 70 years. Just in China alone Mao murdered 70 Million of his own people. Castro machine gunned pregnant women and Che shot women and children or small business owners and farmers because they were land owners...you know like owned a business, house and land.

Communism killed more people than Nazis and also was just as repressive. They jailed dissents, murdered others. Put people in slave labor camps and controlled all tv and media.

[pretzelzetzel]

Kim Il-sung was originally a nominal communist and he and his son have developed the most extreme version of state control that humanity has ever seen.

[OBAMASTINIAN]

The idiots will be the ones that will try and con you out of food,when the economy collapses.Dont give them any of yourammo because they will shoot themselves.

[dannyshooter]

badfish, You just proved my point further. The point of my post was that you feel the need to insult people personally, because you are obviously incapable of having an intelligent conversation. Stop embarrassing yourself. Why do you waste your time watching these videos on here if they are not inline with your personal beliefs? Again, doesn't make much sense..

[dkslfjgh]

ROFL, this song is hilarious :)

[REANIMATION980]

Glenn isn't crazy just good at what he does, saying baised ideas formed from the conservative agenda and then bieng outlandishly cruel to people who have diffrent opinion then him.

[BloodJunkie11]

so for example, what he said about the 2nd amendment was just right wing conservative propaganda hate speech?

[backrubs62]

the other voice is that of Pat Gray.

Glenn talked him to leave his top rated morning show in houston to come work with him AGAIN.

[JudyGurl]

I've talked to liberals before. It truly is like arguing with idiots.

[badfishdive]

I've talked to conservatives beofre. It truly is arguing with idiots.

[JudyGurl]

Nice comeback, badfish, did ya think of that all by yourself ? Way to come original. All together now "Arguing with idiots.......Smart debate with dimwits......truth for those who care to look....and another way to sell our book"

My, that is catchy, isn't it :)

[badfishdive]

It wasn't a comeback, I was just proving how easy it is to sound stupid on the internet. I'm actually secure enough in my own beliefs that I don't feel the need to waste my time badmouthing those who happen to disagree with me.

[dannyshooter]

You don't feel the need to badmouth people but you said this: "I've talked to conservatives before. It truly is arguing with idiots."

hmmm that makes perfect sense! Nice try...

[badfishdive]

Yes, and that was a sarcastic response to a foolish statement posted by someone else. You're clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? I guess you did make my previous statement somewhat accurate though, so thank you.

[xnovanx]

i feel the same way about talking with liberals

[lonewolf031]

so very true.. even if they don't know what they talking about.

[aznravechild6i9]

I just bought my copy and I can't wait to read it.

[lonewolf031]

I got my copy 3 days ago and I just can't put it down.

[TheMadOrc]

Yeah its a good book.

[lonewolf031]

:) good to hear you are enjoying it too.

[TheMadOrc]

Have you finished it?

[lonewolf031]

nope I am a slow reader and i look at the same topic 2 or 3 times to make sure that i fully understand it.

[whsprmyname1]

LOL! I love these guys, both radio and tv show! They're so smart, funny, and clever! Can't wait to get the book. Lord knows there is a lot of idiots out there!

[TeaPartyParticipant]

i heard this on the radio!
