Beck and Palin

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:25 AM

How come Beck is reading when he was not going to prepare a speach?

Is God writing on the teleprompter for him?

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:25 AM

OK...note cards, or whatever.....

UGH

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:30 AM

Preaching.

Burning Bush...

Moses...

Beck can relate to Martin Luther King the most.

Is he wearing a bullet proof vest?

Probably. To be real, I'm sure he's had just as many death threats as Obama does. You don't say things like he does without making enemies.

True true...

Though I think the people who would kill a public figure are on his side.

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:34 AM

The overblown ego of it all.

"one man can change the world"

"and that person is you"

I thought he was about to go all third reich but he pulled back

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:35 AM

Now he is into the Sermon on the Mount and teaching people to fish.

The poorest among us have all the best blessings....so apparently they need to stop whining?

People who kill others in the name of assassination are not on anyone's specific side but their own delusional state.

Just as much as I don't want the right to demonize the likes of me, I will not demonize them. They are people just like us. Perhaps a little misguided and very set in what they believe, they are still human.

If you look historically political assasins tend to be extremist.

I see Beck and his followers as extremist and dilusional.

I do agree most of them probably are misguided and would not kill anyone...but I think Beck and Palin stir the fear that looses violence, like the dude who stabbed the Islamic taxi driver this week.

His hands aren't big enough.

I did a search for pictures and noticed that the ones I saw pretty much everyone had those fold up chairs. I wonder if that is making the crowd seem larger than it is.

Makes sense, and a bunch of people left during the previous segment.

Linus · 08-28-2010, 10:36 AM

I was just listening to Beck and noticed he speaks in snippets. It's like he lacks whole concepts and cannot elaborate on them.

Yep, like sound bites.

Keeping things simple for the uneducated?

Apocalipstic · 08-28-2010, 10:42 AM

I wonder how many people actually believe this shit?

depending on who asks, how they ask and what they ask........somewhere between 25-35% of white folks in this country.......it's been that way ever since I have followed politics..........the last time this happened it was over the 'Godless communists' with Senator Joe McCarthy

that said..........the 'God sent me to do this' thing is getting truly truly scary.....really scary...this just seems really different............the lies keep being repeated and the media reports it like fact.......truth is a lie and the lie is the truth....so the media says.........

I think the final count came to about 70-75,000 (from what I've read at a variety of places). That said, I'm still not sure what the event was about.

It wasn't political.

It wasn't really religious.

I've been thinking about this and it feels like something a parent would do to tell you what you need to do in life.

It feels like an admonishment.

Rockinonahigh · 08-28-2010, 04:59 PM

In this day and age I should think people whoul have more smarts than to fall for the snake oil side show they put on,but I gess if a rable rouser can holler enough loud enough...somebody will show up to see what its all about.

Corkey · 08-28-2010, 05:01 PM

I couldn't watch, my blood pressure would have hit the roof, and I needn't be yelling at the TV it only upsets my wife.

We drank 2 pots of coffee and yelled at the TV together.

That's just it. There's no depth, no real concrete anything. This was the way of Palin's failed journey. Witless platitudes served upon a platter of whiteness, distortions, and a reconstructed(for their own aims) G-d. When it is over, all one can utter, really, is, huh?
