Glen Beck is a radio and TV host in The United States. He with limbaugh, hannity, levine, and others spue their lies on American Airways 24/7. This is why Americans have done some just plain out right stupid stuff in the last decade.

Even if their audience hears the accusations that they lie continuously their audience is so convinced that the rest of the media has a liberal bias and lies all the time that they will first dismiss the accusation against the Rush clones as liberal lies and second say "so what the liberals lie more".

Well a couple of things Buffalo Roam. First, it has not been conclusively proven that she did lie. Nor has it been proven that she has been untruthful in anyway.

Two, Pelosi does not spew hate and lies on the airways 24 hours a day like these Republican mouthpieces that spew nothing but crap all the time.

Pelosi has proven herself, that She lied, there are at least 5 different stories from her own mouth about what happened and when it happened.

She can't even keep Her stories straight with a cue card.

"At that or any other briefing, and that was the only briefing that I was briefed on in that regard, we were not -- I repeat, we were not -- told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used, " Pelosi said on April 23.

This appears to contradict Pelosi's account that she was never told waterboarding actually happened, only that the administration was considering using it.

There is no evidence that Pelosi intended to deceive anyone or misrepresent the facts. So again, where are the five lies?

If you want to say Pelosi botched a press conference by being disorganized, she is guilty as charged. But that never seemed to bother you when your idol of conservatism botched a lot of his talks:

You despite numerous challenges have not shown even one case of Pelosi making a false statement. You have repeated a video of a botched Pelosi video...but that is not evidence of a false statment.

And as I pointed out to you, if you want botched interview see any of George II's publiic appearances (see my video post). George II has got a library of botched public events.

Hse. Spkr. Pelosi claims CIA misled her about Torture Methods

http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2009/05/14/HP/R/18582/Hse+Spkr+Pelosi+claims+CIA+mislead+her+about+Tortu re+Methods.aspx

Today, Hse. Spkr. Pelosi (D-CA) said that in 2002 the CIA "misled" her about torture techniques used by the U.S. military. She stated that she learned of the military's use of waterboarding in 2003. Also, GOP members responded to her statements about her meetings with the CIA.
Washington, DC

Yes, She even admits that She knew about Waterboarding in 2003, so what took Her so long to get her dander up?

6 years later and She is now saying the CIA lied to Her, and from C-Span a reliable source, and her words don't match Her actions.

Nancy claims cover for Her lack of action on her respect for Her oath of Secrecy as a member of the Select Intelligence Committee, now isn't that something like the Nazis claiming that they were only following orders?
and their oaths of service?

She knew as early as 2003 by her own admission, and did nothing, so now Nancy says She was mislead?

And it is a fact, she was sworn to secrecy. She was told by the administration that those proceedures were also legal. Pelosi is not a great student of the law or consitution. So how is she supposed to know the veracity of administrations legal opinion on these enhanced techniques?

Not according to the Univirsity of Chicago;

http://www.law.uchicago.edu/media/index.html

The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer."

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.


Now just because you teach a class does not make you a Constitutional Expert, so according to your's and Obama's reasoning, any law professor would be a Constitutional expert because our laws are based in our Constitution.

Buffalo Roam, in the event you have not noticed, there is a huge difference between a high school governement class and a college level graduate class in law.

Universities such as the University of Chicago do not hire people who know little about a subject to teach it. Additionally Obama has a law degree from one of the finest insitutions of higher learning in the country...Harvard Law. If you really cannot see the difference, I suggest laying off the koolaid.

Really, and what about the fact that Dr. Opsal has a Doctorate in Constitutional History, seems that he trumps Obama as a expert.

So what does a law degree have to do with expertise in Constitutional Law, what are Obama actual degree's in?

Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.

Harvard - Juris Doctor

Three year study of 5000 co-eds, and they used a benchmark of a bra size of 34C. They found that the--now wait. It's true. The larger the bra-size, the smaller the IQ." (TV show, 5/13/94)

REALITY: Dr. Burton Hallowell, president of Tufts in the '60s and '70s, had "absolutely no recollection" of such a study, according to Tufts' communications office. "I surely would have remembered that!" he exclaimed. Limbaugh's staff was unable to produce any such study. A search of the Nexis database--while revealing no evidence of a Tufts study--did produce a number of women theorizing that the presence of large breasts caused a lowering of IQ in some males.

because we have better critical reasoning skills and can tell when we are being peddled even when we like the sound of it
:roflmao:


Even with fact checking (thank god they at least know they aren't completely wrong and talking straight out of their ass like Limbaugh) they still twist words, make emotional speechs about nothing and omit or belittle facts that would make their arguments less persuasive or clear.

Again, I know you don't listen to Limbaugh, if you did, you would know that first off He calls himself a entertainer, second off, Rush exposes the absurd by using the absurd, many of the skits and stories are nothing but absuridity on display to show the absuridity of the left, such as the;

LIMBAUGH: "Now I got something for you that's true--1972, Tufts University, Boston. This is 24 years ago--or 22 years ago. Three year study of 5000 co-eds, and they used a benchmark of a bra size of 34C. They found that the--now wait. It's true. The larger the bra-size, the smaller the IQ." (TV show, 5/13/94)

I would like to see the total context of that statement, and what Rush was paroding with a absurde story like that.

Much of what you and your pretentious condescending friend from the left scream about is because you take it from context, and then fail to have a sense of humor to apreacieat the absuridity and irony of what was the point of the story.

Well, I didn't see him citing any non-existent reports in the video linked to in the OP. I saw an idiotic discusion of who sat where and whether or not the seats were reserved. What are you refering to?

After they finally calmed down they asked him about checking his sources and he said he never did. While all of these guys from Limbaugh all the way to Jon Stewart are entertainers. Why wouldn't you check your facts? Stuff is usually funny or satirical because it based on a truth. I don't have the attention span for the more fact based shows on CNN and CSPAN that my grandmother watches, so in order to keep pace with her in conversation about politics I watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report. I know they're comedians, but they base their jokes on things that have actually happened. Otherwise my grandmother would call me on it. I'm hoping that maybe he meant that he personally doesn't check facts, but someone else on his staff did.

But, I have watched Beck's show and he often will mention some story he's working on but will not present the story until it has been vetted 100%. As to The View brouhaha, I doubt he researched the story as he was just relating something that happened on the train.

Here a gross example:

LIMBAUGH: "Now I got something for you that's true--1972, Tufts University, Boston. This is 24 years ago--or 22 years ago. Three year study of 5000 co-eds, and they used a benchmark of a bra size of 34C. They found that the--now wait. It's true. The larger the bra-size, the smaller the IQ." (TV show, 5/13/94)

REALITY: Dr. Burton Hallowell, president of Tufts in the '60s and '70s, had "absolutely no recollection" of such a study, according to Tufts' communications office. "I surely would have remembered that!" he exclaimed. Limbaugh's staff was unable to produce any such study. A search of the Nexis database--while revealing no evidence of a Tufts study--did produce a number of women theorizing that the presence of large breasts caused a lowering of IQ in some males.I also would like to see the context of that quote, because it sounds like a joke. And if Limbaugh is such a dishonest blowhard, why did you have to go all the way back to 1994 to find an example? The guys on 3 hours per day 5 days a week for Pete's sake!

The better question is why does the Republican Party take limbaugh so seriously? Why are they very careful not to offend the limbaugh? Why do they go groveling before him begging his forgiveness should they say something that offends the limbaugh? Then I think you will find the answer to your question.

Liberals (anyone not a limbaugh republican) are not chasing their tails. Have you not noticed they are now sitting in the catbird's seat? Have you not noticed that they (liberals, left, etc) now control the Senate and the Presidency? Have you not noticed that the Republican Party has shrunk in size?

Some of the Dems are already falling victim to the call of corruption. Some Democratic Senators are trying to pass legislation that gives the wealthiest of our families special tax breaks as the Republicans with them and before them have tried before...along with George II.

The Dems need to not fall victim to corruption as the Republicans before them did. They need to stand up for all Americans and not the few who pad their fortunes.

I listened, and heard no redeeming evidence in favor of glen beck. I did find a conservative blogger trying to restore some of beck's credibility. I heard several excuses for beck, including he was feeling ill the day of the appearance on The View. I heard beck get coached by others...beck's producer, much to beck's suprise, told beck he did not lie.

beck is an experienced guy, he knows how to handle himself. I heard a huge effort to down play the event as trival and not relevant by a conservative blogger. In order to believe that beck was not caught in several lies, you have to believe several facts not in evidence and contrary to the way beck described the situation when he was not "ill" and before coaching.

According to the Beck story, Walters initated contact. On the view, beck admitted to approaching Walters. In order to believe beck's original story, you have to believe that Walters (an older woman) iniated a long distance conversation with beck...not very likely. Why else would beck physically change locations and move closer to Walters before engaging on conversation?

And most importantly, the issue is not the specifics of what happened on the train that night which this blohhrt guy totally missed; it was the constant misrepresentation that folks like beck engage in each and every day. You heard in beck's own words, he does not check his facts. beck delibrately misrepresented this encounter to make Walters look bad for his audience and got called on the rug for it and he apologized for it on The View.

Finally, the whole case for beck rests solely on the word of a conservative blogger. Where is the statement from Amtrack? There is none, all you have is the word of a conservative blogger trying to save a fellow fear monger. The blogger himself admits that he has no proof, only the word of a conservative blogger who has a long history of embelishing.
