Forgive me if someone else posted this...
I just couldn't bear to read more than 1 page about Beck...

But I saw the headline "Glen Beck on Fire"...and I just held my breath and had my fingers crossed for a literal meaning...

Darn...disappointed again...

(...just KIDDING!...Beck lovers, relax!...it was a JOKE...)

Back to Glenn Bech's Nov 8th TV "show."

Below is the transcript of EXACTLY what Beck said about Mark Penn. If you want, you can look at the post where the EXACT transcript of Mark Penn's words from Hardball are posted and compare the two.

My question is, HOW DOES BECK COME TO THE CONCLUSION HE DOES BASED ON PENN'S WORDS? It's such a STRETCH! The transcript starts with Beck talking to his audience, saying, "So why does the left need violence"? then he goes on to use Mark Penn's FEW WORDS on Hardball as his "PROOF." bs. This is an example of how Beck plants suggestions in the minds of his viewers which leads them to wrong conclusions.......the conclusions which Beck wants his audiences to "buy." Glenn Beck is a very skillful liar. No doubt about it.

So, why does the left need this violence? Well, listen to a clip from a Democratic pollster, Mark Penn, happened just the other day and yet no one pays attention to it. How can the left win the country? Watch:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MARK PENN, DEMOCRATIC POLLSTER: Cabinets don't really sell things. The president himself has to reconnect with the people. Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right?
CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: Yes, because the bombing was down there.
PENN: And the president right now, he seems removed. It wasn't until that speech that he really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar kind of event.
MATTHEWS: You think words are —
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: Obama needs a similar kind of event. Oh, like Oklahoma City! If only Barack Obama can have the opportunity to speak to America after another Oklahoma City type event, then he'll politically be in good shape. Wow!

I think we all know what that brings.
There you go again with this "unrestrained" nonsense again. Our so called "free market" is so mired in government restraints and regulations that:

"The annual cost of federal regulations in the United States increased to more than $1.75 trillion in 2008, a 3% real increase over five years, to about 14% of U.S. national income."

Wall Street Journal: The Regulation Tax Keeps Growing | Republican Small Business Committee

The total cost of CA state regulations on businesses is $493 billion, five times the state's General Fund Budget, according to the COST OF STATE REGULATIONS ON CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES STUDY. (http://www.sba.ca.gov/Cost%20of%20Regulation%20Study%20-%20Final.pdf - broken link)

That's an average of about $150,000 per business, $13,000 per household and $5,000 per resident each year.

So stop with the "unrestrained" bullcrap already.

BTW, you know what you get from corporations? You get the computer program in the computer you are using, the heating and air-conditioning that keeps you comfortable, the caned and frozen food you eat, yeah, tell us how bad corporations are for improving our lives.

I just went thru about 20 posts from you in this thread. So uhhh, you will need to point out a post to me where you brought facts to refute Beck, all I have seen from you are bunches of snarky comments and ridicule.

Where's the lie? You provided no proof of anything. How in the world can YOU come this conclusion with absolutely no knowledge of any of this and no facts to back a damn thing up?

What did the guy mean by saying Obama needs an event similar to the OK bombing? What did he mean?
