I am always amazed by the left. Time and time again here on these forums the left has complained about how much power President Bush was taking. They complain about the Patriot Act and how our privacy has been compromised. "The government has too much power."
Now, we have Obama and they don't complain about any of those things. In fact they embrace it.
They harp on Beck, rush, ect, and never actually know what they said. They just echo the liberal blogs. And they say the right just follows blindly.
Again, the challenge has gone out. What did beck say yesterday that you can challenge?
No. We introduced you on this program to his new spiritual adviser. You've got to love this guy. New spiritual adviser is Jim Wallis. Jim Wallis who, like his last spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright, is a Marxist. He is not going to call himself a Marxist anymore. No. He's very, very clever. He is advising the president of the United States, but listen to his words. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Are you then calling for redistribution of wealth in society? REV. JIM WALLIS: Absolutely, without any hesitation. That's what the gospel is about. (END VIDEO CLIP) BECK:He goes on to talk about the forced redistribution because when you just give, it's just not enough.
The left will continue to claim that all I'm doing is spewing hateful rhetoric. I don't care. I really don't. I don't know anything about this man other than his words and his actions, what he actually believes. He might be a very nice man. I don't know.
All I'm trying to do is show you these people in their own words — not my words — in their own words and then you decide. Does it matter?
The part of the interview Beck didn't air.
FIEDLER: So are some church congregations literally too affluent, do you think?
WALLIS: I think an affluent church in a world where half of God's children live on less than $2 a day is an affront to the Gospel. The Bible doesn't mind prosperity as long as it is shared. But what the Bible doesn't like is these tremendous gaps and chasms between the top and the bottom.
FIEDLER: Are you then calling for the redistribution of wealth in society?
WALLIS: Absolutely. Without any hesitation. That's what the Gospel is all about. It's about the rich moving into solidarity and a relationship with people who have been left out and left behind. The whole early church was those who were wealthy and those who were poor finding a new community. So, I see it all the time where people from middle-class backgrounds are having their lives transformed by their encounter with the poor in their neighborhoods or across the world and changing their lifestyle and their priorities because of that. ....
WALLIS: I have a family, I have kids. I want them to be secure. I want them to have enough. And I want them to have all the good things of life. One of the things is a generous spirit. One of the things is to be in a relationship to people who have been left out. It changes us in all kinds of ways. On that cover of Time magazine also were Bill and Melinda Gates, who have made all this money and now are giving it away in very smart, strategic ways about world health and global poverty. So, Bill Gates has decided that he doesn't just want to give all his money to his children. For him, the good life now, for he and his wife, means being a part of a process of changing things in the world. So they're doing a redistribution of wealth.
So I ask all you Beck supporters? Did he fairly represent Rev. Wallis' comment? Show me the section where he went "on to talk about the forced redistribution". Rev. Wallis was clearly talking about non-governmental, non-forced redistribution.
No they can't because Obama wrote it in his own words..and video tape has a tendency to come back and bite you ..you know where..but there is no sense in trying to get liberals to admit anything..because they know we are telling the truth..but they are just trying to hide behind useless arguments..I would have much more respect for them if they just came out in the open and admitted what they are and what they believe in..instead of playing this childish game..
Soooooooo.... I guess Beck and his staffers read the entire Bill? This should be interesting
You will never know for sure since you aren't going to watch the show so you won't know what he said without going to Kos or HuffPo.
