We need to bear that in mind when reading this...definitely a rodeo clown.

Glenn Beck Equates Veterans with Communists

Yesterday, an Iraq veteran named Denise called in to The Glenn Beck Program to complain about the fun she had on Veterans Day. Denise, who returned from Iraq two years ago, walked with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America (I.A.V.A.) in last Thursday’s parade in New York City and then attended a soiree at The Providence, in Midtown Manhattan, where she encountered “a spread like you wouldn’t believe.”

Personally, I think all our veterans deserve this treatment (in addition to the free Bloomin’ Onion and pint they’re offered at Outback Steakhouse). But Denise found herself questioning I.A.V.A.’s motives. “Where did they get the money for all this? It was unbelievable how they treated us that day,” she said. So she took to the Internet, where she claims she found out that the I.A.V.A.—America’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization for veterans of the wars of the past decade—is supported by George Soros and MoveOn.org. “George Soros has his hand in the military,” Denise told Beck, who was only too happy for the opportunity to take a few whacks at one of his favorite punching bags.

“What [liberal donors such as Soros are] doing is, they’re creating the misery, and they’re coming out and organizing all these people—under the guise of labor unions or something as innocuous sounding as, you know, Iraqi [sic] and Afghanistan Veterans Foundation [sic]—but it is Soros and Communist and radical money and they are tying and duping people in as much as they can,” Beck said, referring to an organization whose activities include lobbying for veterans policy on Capitol Hill, giving away N.F.L. and concert tickets to veterans, and working to improve mental health.

I called up I.A.V.A.’s executive director and founder, Paul Rieckhoff—who served as a first lieutenant in Iraq from 2003-2004—to see if the supporters of I.A.V.A. are really as Communist as Glenn Beck says they are. “The I.A.V.A. receives no money from MoveOn.org,” he told me. “We’re happy to take MoveOn’s money if they’ll send it, and we’re happy to take Fox News’s money if they’ll send it, too. Veterans affairs shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It’s all about Americans uniting behind our veterans.” As for the “spread like you wouldn’t believe” after the parade? Rieckhoff explained that it had been sponsored by Microsoft and Health Net.

As an aside: Someone asked if I never post anything except negative stuff. My reply would be that obviously I post many things on many subjects, including negative stuff about the left. I freely admit my bias is liberal, so I enjoy posting stuff about how idiotic some on the right are (like this), and I'm angry with GOP obstructionism, so I post stuff about that. However, I also put up threads on non-political topics, positive threads, and many other things. Just sayin'.

Oh, I can't resist. This man is such a source of amusement:
Quote:

MSNBC is "marked for death" and will be figuratively thrown under the bus and shot in the head by those on the political left. That's the prediction of media giant Glenn Beck.
Quote:

They are going to make this into a regular talking point. You're going to hear the liberals come out and start to throw MSNBC under the bus and throw them under the bus hard. And here's why. MSNBC is marked for death. If it is sold to Comcast, Comcast will run it like a business. If it remains liberal, it will just be a good liberal station. It will just run things that will actually get ratings. If it's not, it will most just likely be a news channel. I mean, I don't know what they're gonna do with it. but it won't feature Keith Olbermann, and they know that.

Just like everyone, as soon as they start to outlive their usefulness for radicals and revolutionaries, they shoot them in the head, and that's exactly what's gonna happen to MSNBC. And they'll offer up a false choice. They'll say, "Look we're willing to give up MSNBC. You just give up Fox, and then we can have real news." Mark my words, that's what they will say, "We'll get rid of MSNBC and you get rid of Fox." Yeah, really, you'll do that? You'll shoot the shows that nobody watches on one that's marked for death anyway? Oh, well how big of you. I don't think so.

Wish more folks would offer such sage and honest advice.

Neal Boortz tells his radio audience much the same thing, and that they should....

- never believe anything he says, unless you know it to be true yourself, or have taken the time to verify the information on your own




" I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend. "

Boortz is GREAT!! That bit about "have taken the time to verify the information on your own" is what I wish even a decent percentage of Americans bothered ('had the time') to do...sigh...

That's how Fox does what it does. It's audience takes whatever they say as gospel and never looks any further.

Actually, you'll find that attitude w/ the Right far more than on the Left.

There's the aforementioned Boortz line, and then also what Rush has said a few times.

What IF what the MSM is reporting were true...

That's how Rush views what the nightly news shows present, not so much as 'news', but more of a suggestion, or an inference of the facts.

I listen to Boortz most every day. Seldom watch FOX News, or much of any t.v. broadcast news, for that matter.

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

I have always felt that the South Park disclaimer was applicable to a wide range of media:

"All characters and events in this show—even those based on real people—are entirely fictional. All celebrity voices are impersonated.....poorly. The following program contains coarse language and due to its content it should not be viewed by anyone."

--Anthony

Assured by friends that the signal-to-noise ratio has improved on this forum, I have disabled web filtering.

Bill Maher summed up Beck pretty well when he characterized Beck's intelligence and said that Beck was "close to playing with poop".
