Usually policiticans will give lip service to these groups but Obama went over the top to praise the MB. Especially when they came to power in Egypt. He basically helped them along with rhetoric.Oh, he's a smart guy with nuggets of truth, but I just got tired of seeing everything being presented as if he were pulling the drapes off of the wizard of oz all the time.
As for Beck .... Yes its entertainment and if you can get past the entertainment part there is substance. He successfully called quite a few things and has been doing it for years. Like anything we just have to be able to look beyond presentation.
Just because Glenn beck does something doesn't make it automatically wrong. Just as I don't dismiss what that dude Rachael Maddow does or says initially just because he is a raving socialist.
I brought the Israel thing up, because it was the first time I had seen that he was flat out wrong.
He seemed like some kind of shill, railing for support without acknowledging the true plight of the Palestinians.
I know we only get one side of the story through our media, so if you ever have the opportunity to speak to a Palestinian, please take advantage of that to broaden your view of that area.
I used to be a big Beck fan, even have a couple books of his.
I suppose part of my issue came after talking to someone on their writing staff.
He admitted that most things were put together in a format to get attention, like a shock-jock (understandable for $$$).
It just made it hard to take seriously, anymore.
He did say Glen is genuinely the guy you see on screen and a very kind man.
But yeah.... enough babbling
