Perhaps This Explains Glenn Beck

[Bar Sinister]

A recent study revealed that in online forums those who resort to "flaming" receive more responses to their posts. I cannot say that any of the posters at CC employ flaming as a strategy, but it is interesting to note how quickly some threads degenerate into shouting matches.

Sounds like a few people we all know.

This wouldn't be true if the lefty pinko greenies weren't prancing about in lily tights.

Bar Sinister, perhaps your next post/thread will explain what your OP has got to do with Glenn Beck?

It means that guys like Beck are pimping simple minds that are looking for a avenue of blame shift off of themselves and forming cohesive groups of simple minds.

 

[YukonJack]

No mind is as simple as one that forms an opinion without the slightest twinkling of an idea.

Like some posters here, who probably never heard or saw Glenn Beck's program, and could not even say when and what channel Beck's radio show and TV program are on.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

You never read the article did you?

Lately he has been mixing too much religion in his shows....he might be gaining some viewers that way but I'm sure he's also loosing some.

O'reilly is better at shaking the tree.;-)

You never read the article did you?

Yes, I did. I read all the highlighted portions. I am still looking for any evidence that YOU read the article and/or the poster of the OP posted it and mentioned the name of Glenn Beck, when the names: John King (CNN), Katie Couric (CBS), Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddows (all MSMBC), Katie Couric and David Letterman (CBS) etc. etc. etc. would have been far more appropriate.

Flaming, indeed!!!

Put your glasses on and read closely....

It means that guys like Beck.....

Not to worry, DaSleeper. O'Reilley and Beck are great friends and host programs together all across America. SUCCESSFUL programs, which is the fact that bugs the Lefties.

And let us face it: a little more religion would not hurt America and come to think of it, it would not Canada, either.

I know an Imam that would agree with you.

You have heard the old saying "Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar....................."?

 

[YukonJack]

You have heard the old saying "Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar....................."?

Beck and O'Reilley, both self-made millionaires and give very generously to charities and to "CEASAR", ie the government.

That fact also bugs the Lefties, to whom the word 'charity' means the name of a pole-dancer in their favourite strip-club.

I know an Imam that would agree with you.

And also, priests, ministers, lay people and even atheists.

So what's your point?

When did the entire US political entourage shift to center back from middle left?

Try November 2nd, 2010.

With a thunderous encore coming in November 2012.

 

[petros]

Both of the big parties in the US are aren't even close to center and "right" is just a dream. They went socialist 80 years ago.

 

[YukonJack]

petros, if you "KNOW" that why did you ask me?

 

[petros]

Because you believe that there is still a right when there isn't.
