Good hopefully now he can help you and your fellow socialists come back down to Earth I was high up in the clouds in Trotskyite heaven and came back down to Earth partly thanks to a consortium of Beck, Savage, O'Reilly, Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Ron Paul and others.

I sure have.. But we aren't comparing population statistics, we are comparing geographical areas.. The fact that Franken wants to change and count the numbers per population doesnt mean Fox was wrong..

You get it. This surgeon with a 200 square foot operating room and 6 deaths per 500 operations per year has a higher mortality rate than the surgeon with the same size operating room but with 3 deaths per 60 operations per year.
NOT!!!
Are you comparing an operation room where people try to save lives, to Bagdad where people are trying to kill them?

But Frank is STILL wrong, he didn't divide his numbers by 6, i.e. the number of YEARS the conflict has been going on..

California has about 2,500 murders per year, Iraq has had 4,400 TOTAL american casulties over 6 years, which makes for about 700 per year. No matter how you calculate it, per geographical area, per citizens, Iraq has FAR fewer casualties than our soldiers in Iraq.

Too bad the facts aren't as important as trying to find a way to minimize someone. Typical lib. Watch them slather over Beck. It's hilarious.

I think a good portion of Beck's high and rising popularity is thanks from the free advertising libs give him across the internet Thank you libs!

I'm sure it is, once you get over the 'insult to your intelligence' part.
