There is another tread asking if the WH is afraid of Glenn Beck. By reading the comments from the left in this thread, it's quite obvious that many more people than the one's who are currently infecting the WH are frightened to death by Glenn..!
Keep up your ridiculous comments, lefties, it shows how narrow minded and fearful you all are... The more you talk, the more transparent you become, almost as transparent as Obama promised to be...

Woodrow Wilson and Roosevelt are now "southern dems"; were you a revisionist history major? lol

I may have misspoken, I apologize. Beck said something to the effect that the first black appointee was by a republican. If someone who saw it can clarify it, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Yes, and they were generally SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVES. The Democratic Party from that time is quite different from the Democratic Party of today. Two very distinct wings of the party existed during that time, the northern liberal wing and the southern conservative wing.

I imagine that Mr. Beck wrote his facts on a chalkboard, which impresses a lot of people ("Hey! Look, he wrote it on a chalkboard, just like my teacher used to!").
Why so snide? It's really unattractive.

I see...so did Beck then go on and teach how things were changed by Nixon's Southern Strategy?

I was not shooting for 'snide' and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

However, my brother-in-law keeps spouting 'facts' he learned from Mr. Beck, to my utter chagrin. Some are facts, some are not. Yet said brother-in-law (a 'tea party' person whom has been on disability for 15 years for depression, will likely never be OFF disability due to his age, and who has no trouble rebuilding his house and generally doing what he wants) will only watch Mr. Beck and other Fox news, scorning my suggestions that he read articles, congressional bills, etc.

Sorry, but for a moment you were he in my mind.
