PostPartisan - Why Obama doesn't get Glenn Beck

One of the reasons Obama often loses the war of words is that he counters the Beck/Tea Party crowd with logic, whereas they are more interested in a sort of je ne sais quoi American values "truthiness."

Liberals have some facts behind them, but until they can learn to duckspeak as well as figures like Beck, they will lose the war of words time after time.

If the majority of Americans are stupid enough and choose to follow Glen Beck and his thinking then America will FAIL and that is just what it will deserve.

These people are NOT going to believe anything logical are rational.

Hate is not an entirely rational or logical emotion

Fear is not an entirely logical or rational emotion

Bigotry is not entirely logical or rational

Ignorance makes people incapable of logical or rational reasoning.

Love that tolerant liberal attitude! No room for opposing viewpoints - if you disagree, you're just plain stupid!

Sometimes I wonder why I bother reading these forums at all...

Because this is a free country. Beck can say anything he wants even when they make no sense and because Obama is not a dictator as the right suggested. Otherwise he would have Beck arrested.
