RHETORIC: BECK SAID VANCOUVER LOST $1 BILLION WHEN IT "HAD THE OLYMPICS." Glenn Beck said, "Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics." [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]
REALITY: VANCOUVER'S OLYMPICS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL 2010. Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games from February 12 - 28, 2010 and March 12-21, 2010, respectively. [Vancouver2010.com, accessed 9/29/09]
Beck corrected himself tonight; he meant Calgary. However, he was still right about the loss. Just wrong city. And Vancouver is already over budget, as he pointed out. They are going to lose bigtime too.
Beck is such a complete idiot. I can't believe there are people stupid enough to watch him for anything other than humor value.
Beck is an idot? And Obama is not? 57 States? That's what Oboma has said over, and over again?
Look. It was a simple mistake. He meant Calgary. Get over it.
If this is all you have, you are really grasping at straws. What does that say about you? Can't you offer something more substantive? Especially in view of Obamas mistakes (57 States?).
Not at all. There are many other cities in the United States that would be safer venues. Luring foreign visitors to Chicago is like leading lambs to the slaughter.
I can't believe that you really believe that. Have you even BEEN to Chicago? Good heavens, I've been going to Chicago all my life and have never had a bad thing happen to me there....except seeing my beloved Cubbies lose too often. My kids went to Chicago all their lives and never had a bad thing happen to them. My grandkids spend weeks with their aunt and uncle in Chicago and nothing bad has ever happened to them. Chicago is a great city and has something to offer everyone. Shame on you.
oh, please
did you call Obama a dumbass when he said he has been to 57 states?
get real
Bu bu but Beck got it wrong twice, first he said Vancouver and tonight he corrected himself and said Calgary, which btw was a success! Beck is a dumbass
What's comedy is the left getting all orgasmic over a simple error (which anyone could have made). Beck was still right about the losses. Who cares that he named the wrong city. Big deal.
Or that the Republican Party is running from this loon
