I think it was my post about "contracts" which was deleted as off topic; however, I was responding to roysoldboy's post saying that "contracts" would be taken out on Glenn Beck for doing his so-called expose on Soros. I'm still wondering how someone would come up with such an idea that "contracts"....I assume he meant a "contract to kill"........Glenn Beck would be taken out by ANYBODY, much less the Obama administration or Soros himself, to kill Glenn Beck!
I've read that Beck is pretty paranoid about someone killing him, but I can't imagine anyone else believing that.
Additionally, I WATCHED the Glenn Beck program where he talks about Lawrence O'Donnell saying he is a socialist........the things Beck said in that program were so fantastical I found it stunning. Specifically he points to a political consultant who was on chris Matthew's Hardball show and uses that as PROOF that "a violent event" is about to take place. I SAW THAT PROGRAM, I saw the man who was talking to Matthews, I heard and saw the ENTIRE INTERVIEW, and Beck was totally wrong about his conclusions! He cut and clipped that interview, took one thing the man said, and blew it totally OUT OF ALL REALITY! Anyone with one ounce of critical thinking skills would have recognized what a hack job Beck did with that interview in a nano-second!. OMG! Beck's conspiracy theories are just too dumb for words. Also, he spends A LOT OF TIME talking to his audience about he persecuted he is, and how smart his audience is, in order to keep them convinced that he, Beck, really does have the "inside scoop." Again, OMG!

I heard the entie clip with that jackass O'Donnell. Beck didn't distort anything, you just did.

And that's the essentially problem with the Beck-O-files (and the rest of the FNCers): you present them with the truth, and they still believe their deities. You can link the clip, but they won't watch because it comes from "socialist" Mediamatters, or wherever. Beck is their God, they refuse to believe in anything else, so why bother to argue with them? It's like beating your head against a wall.
Besides, the average age of the FNC viewer is 67. They'll be dead soon enough.

I WATCHED and LISTENED to, very carefully, the ENTIRE HARDBALL program where O'Donnell was interviewed by Chris Matthews, and, yes, Beck did, in fact, chop up the interview for the clip he (Beck) used on his show to back up his assertion that "THAT" meant the "progressives" were planning some violent event in order to move ahead a plan to collapse the government so a "new" Socialist government could take over.
Geeezzzus! What total BS. O'Donnell was a political consultant/strategist to President Clinton........NOT OBAMA. He clearly said that the Okalahoma bombing gave Clinton an opportunity to "connect" with the people.........Matthews questioned him about such an event taking place again, and O'Donnell made it clear that that was certainly the type of thing one COULD NO CONTROL or create!!! Dear god! Can't you see the difference between a tragic event happening at random, and a strong political figure being able to "connect" with the people as a result of strong empathy with the victims of the tragedy as well as connect with the people in the country over such a tragic event, AND a PLANNED TRAGEDY IN ORDER TO FURTHER ONE'S POLITICAL AGENDA?
P.S.
So, SourD, you listened so closely to Matthews' interview with "O'Donnell" that you totally got the name of the person being interviewed WRONG.
MARC PENN is the name of the man being interviewed by Matthews. Glenn Beck uses a small little portion of that interview, took the clip out of context, and made the allegation that Marc Penn was revealing a "plan" by progressives to create a "violent event" in order to ultimately cause "society/government" to collapse so that a Socialist government could be established to "save the day." (Such total BS).
Here is the transcript of Matthews show that day and I have excerpted out the one tiny reference to Clinton "reconnecting" with the people after the Okalahoma City bombing. THERE IS NO WAY that a rational person with any critical thinking skills at all could read this transcript and logically come to the conclusion that Marc Penn was saying that the progressives are now planning a "violent event" .....after the elections Nov. 2......in order to further a plan to set up a Socialist government!
There are approximately 129 lines of text in the entire interview which included Marc Penn. As you can see below, there were ONLY 4 (four) lines pertaining at all to Bill Clinton reconnecting with the people because of speech given after Okalahoma bombings!
"PENN: He‘s got to pull in some more economic firepower. The president himself said it‘s about the economy. If he can‘t create jobs, he won‘t get any votes.
MATTHEWS: Who in this Cabinet would you put out to speak for the president, get him—and carry Pennsylvania for Sestak? Who could have gone out? All he had was the vice president.
PENN: Look—
MATTHEWS: He didn‘t have anybody. Bill Clinton.
(CROSSTALK)
PENN: Cabinets don‘t really sell things. The president himself has to reconnect with the people. Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma.
MATTHEWS: Yes, because of the bombing down there.
PENN: And the president right now, he seems removed. And it wasn‘t until that speech that he re-clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar—
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: You think words will work for President Obama at this point?
PENN: No. He‘s got to get some results. But words will work, I think, if he finds that right moment.
Penn is saying that Obama seems "removed" and if there is a moment where he can become emotionally involved in a way that connects with the people, his "words" will work. Katrina would be such a moment. Or something like the resue of those miners in Chile........could be positive or negative.......BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT CREATING A VIOLENT INCIDENT for political purposes!! Glenn Beck is PARANOID and he's really interested in getting GOOD RATINGS this week.

Please........have people become so easily led that they cannot think for themselves and believe Beck's paranoid nightmare scenarios with such fliimsy "evidence"? Btw, WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD OF PROOF for the things Beck says? Beck himself tells you all to "test" his theories, don't blindly take his word, so what the heck are you doing to "test" what Beck says? What is YOUR STANDARD for proof of what Beck says? Do you have no standards at all?
And that's the essentially problem with the Beck-O-files (and the rest of the FNCers): you present them with the truth, and they still believe their deities.

lol. Can't help but argue unfortunately. I have eternal hope. There may be just one Beck fan which can be helped to "see the light." Beck is so overwhelmed by his own demons it's amazing. He needs a very good therapist.......but then he wouldn't be so convincing on TV.
O'Donnell said that he was a socialist because he supported programs such as Medicare and Social Security -- which are, he said, explicitly socialistic at heart. He described Medicare as "a socialist idea whose time had come in a capitalist society.
" Moreover, he said, everyone who supports such programs is supporting socialism.
