I watched the video below for one reason: I have a friend who believes this stuff. It's 7 minutes of my life I'll never get back but I did it because she's a very smart woman and I am desperately trying to understand the source of her vitriol towards Glenn Beck.
There is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING here - AGAIN - to back up her argument that Beck is a hypocrite, or that Ailes is "lying."
Beck didn't remember using the word "slaughter" then corrected the error HIMSELF on RADIO & TV. This got Zsa Zsa all up in arms. THIS is what Ariana Huffington (I call her Zsa Zsa because she sounds like her) hangs her hat on that somehow substantiates her argument (whatever it is) against Beck.
Ummmm... If she watched the minute leading up to the clip used below, she would have heard and seen, if she does in fact understand English, that HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
You have be indulging in the willful suspension of disbelief to believe that ANYONE would go on TV and ACTUALLY insist that the president is going to pilot a plane full of Americans into the ground but AMAZINGLY, this is what the left thinks! This is what my good friend thinks, and I KNOW SHE KNOWS better.
As for Ailes, I can't explain why Fox pulled away from the President's visit with the GOP or why they covered the GOP reply in full except to take Mr. Ailes AT HIS WORD "We're in the ratings business."
Ummm... What's the lie here? HE IS IN THE RATINGS BUSINESS. Fox is beating all the other cable networks so bad, that the hubris that Olbermann demonstrates is, like so much of liberal thinking, inexplicable unless you are indulging in the strenuous and willful, almost OLYMPIC willful suspension of disbelief.
If you watch the entire clip of Beck's "slaughter" rant, there is NO WAY that ANYONE who understands ENGLISH can MISUNDERSTAND IT. NO WAY. You really, truly, honestly, have to work up a sweat to do it.
77% of all Investor's Business Daily's respondents believe that Obama's policies are anti-business. Every economist believes that we are on an UNSUSTAINABLE PATH with our debt and deficit. Any idiot with a calcuator can figure it out. And if you want to believe that Beck is an idiot with a calculator FINE. What is he WRONG ABOUT.
NOT WHAT GETS YOUR PANTIES IN A BUNDLE ABOUT THE BIG BAD WORD HE USED (ohhh... Beck said "slaughter" ohhhh....) BUT WHAT IS HE WRONG ABOUT????????
DO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE WATCH HIM OR DO THEY JUST TAKE THESE RIDICULOUS CLIPS AND GET ALL HUFFY OR RIDICULOUSNESS????
I would submit to you that ALL, and I mean ALL the compaints against Beck are superficial and NOT SUBSTANTIVE. They have yet to CORRECT ANY OF THE FACTS he has presented.
When he ran his history of progressivism documentary NOT ONE factual error was made. Know how I know? Because MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, AND NBC would have been HOWLING about it.
I ask anyone who thinks he is a nut to focus like a LASER BEAM on the SUBSTANCE OF HIS ASSERTIONS and ask yourself IF HE IS WRONG.
