I would tend to agree with that since "fear" apperently sells! The Invasion of IRAQ wouldn't have never happened without that concluding factor!
And Americans wonder why terrorists hijack planes & ram them into 110 story buildings.

So you are saying if Clinton hand't kept sanctions on Iraq for 8 years by using fear then 9/11 wouldn't have happened?

I think you may be onto something.

The thread title is so rudimentary that I thought it was going to be a sarcastic post.

Considering the theatre only hold about 3,000, thankfully only 2,500 showed.

Here is a quote from one of those in attendance and you can read one from a 21 year old in the link.

"He teaches you how to become educated on things that really matter in everybody's life, especially your own. How you can make a difference in the world," said Rachel Kosko, 63, of Baldwin, who attended the show with her husband, Joseph.

Mrs. Kosko, a retired religious director of education now studying at Duquesne University, said she is not bothered by the controversy and criticism that have surrounded Mr. Beck.

"He's the only person telling us what's going on. The news programs aren't telling us anything," she said. "When you speak the truth, you always get criticism. People don't want to hear it. They just want to believe fantasy."

I forgot to include the link that comes from a Pittsburgh newspaper. Here it is now the wiseacres have commented.

Glenn Beck enthralls Benedum audience of 2,500
Btw, Pittsburgh is pretty liberal, and the Post Gazette is very much so..

How about you tell me what makes it worth $90.00 to see him?
I am an old man who doesn't make enough to afford money like that to see Beck when I see him every day for nothing. He only had that Mustang on the stage the other day talking about having it up there.

Hey, have you ever heard of Bill Balsamico? He runs a well attended eating establishment not far from Pittsburgh and he has a sign just across the street that is 8' by 10' that he gets some great anti-Obama messages on. I have never seen him indicate that people should be against Beck, though. I get pictures of the sign a couple of times every month and will try to show how the people in that part of Pennsylvania really feel. I will try to get some of them on here, just to see some of you guys squeal and howl.

I am sorry for you but they expected a crowd that may get to 3,000 which is all that the theater holds. You were just a bit high with your number, but then if you took that number from HuffPo maybe you will learn that they don't always tell the truth.
