The school means nothing. My niece competed with two Harvard grads for a job as a prosecutor for the SEC and her degree from Cleveland State in Ohio didn't keep her from getting the job. She has prosecuted some really big white collar crimes and seldom failed to catch the 1:00 pm plane for home when she had the defense lawyers crying by 10:30 am. Her boss loved to see that happen.

I forget. You don't think some sort of intelligence is required for that? LOL, wow....it becomes clear to me now. Perhaps you've been jaded by your choice of hack attorneys...I don't know, however to think someone isn't bright or smart who gets thru law school & then has a successful career after that...well, that's just stupid.
What did Obama do as a career after getting out of Harvard, if he actually did graduate? Lets see, he went to Chicago and served as a community organizer, began a group called Public Allies that still trains community organizers and other non-profit workers. He worked at that for three years then got elected to the Illinois legislature. Michelle ran Public Allies for three years after he did. He then went to the US Senate and served two years before he started campaigning for President. Now I just don't see that successful lawyer work you talk about. He has been a success at Chicago politics and community organizing and nothing else that used his lawyerese.

Did they appear in the light blue that shows quote? If so I am going to check some of the people here since I know that two of you know how to do that. Claiming that somebody said something when it was the exact opposite of what was said is about as low as a poster can go.

I saw the clip...I'm sorry, that's great Beck has been clean for 15 years, however..."by golly, who'd you rather have do your brain surgery...", yeah, put that into perspective. And I am not against people who haven't been educated, or had a higher education, I'm not like that. But for christssakes, to sit there & say that education is bad??? There is something inherently wrong w/thinking that way.

Kill every baby in the world? It takes some nerve to criticize another's intelligence and conscience when using ridiculous rhetoric such as this.
And screaming "Palin is stupid" isn't rhetoric and takes a lot of nerve?

HUGE difference between buying an abortion and buying a beer.

I would just as soon a blue collar worker who uses his hands at work do it as to have a lawyer do my brain. The lawyer would try to sue me if he slipped and killed me.

Can you point the part of the video where Beck said stupid over educated. It isn't there but kevk convinced you that it was. It is very sad that so few libs will watch Beck but all claim to know so much about him. Do you watch him very often?

Well, looking at the clip....if you didn't notice where he inferred that having a higher education president was not good, then I'm sorry, perhaps you need listening comprehension. I saw it, I think almost everyone who watched the clip noticed it...we're not stupid, we get the inference.
