I agree with him that I do not want this to be true but without proof that it isn't I will accept it. I do consider the White House to be filled with ex-convicts, tax cheats, avowed socialists and even two communists and who knows how many like that. I do know that my governor who recently resigned to take the Secretary of HHS owed a considerable amount of income tax that was only paid so she could accept her appointment. But then she had to be approved by the Senate and Van Jones didn't.
Yes, people who have a liberal ideology do tend toward the Social Democrat European worldview. It's always been a part of our political composition. They're not out to destroy the country, though I don't think their solutions are necessarily the best.

As to the rest, one need only look at the criminals in the Bush administration to know that at that level of politics few people are clean. I don't really see back taxes as a major ethical problem, especially if people couldn't pay them or didn't know they were unpaid, as many have.

I don't believe that you have ever seen any of that stuff. However, you have read something, somewhere and continue to regurgitate all of it and your posts aren't very long so maybe you haven't read so much .

There are many very intelligent commentators throughout the world who offer informed opinion that don't dwell on emotion and entertainment.

And, yes, I read you posts. No, I'm not going to watch a whole week of Beck. (and, no, I wouldn't watch a whole week of Olbermann either).
How about Obama's latest czar, Van Jones? Would the words he has spoken be good enough for you?

You could watch one day of Beck or just one 8 minute segment. You are fighting it and quite well, at that.

Beck did take Bush to task nearly every day the past week but I am interested in the present White House bunch because the one Bush had can't do anything to affect our lives anymore.

Just taking the words of those left leaning blogs that supply all the info about Beck and all the names that all of them use on him. You have to feel sorry for them. I do.

I've never watched Beck and from seeing just a few stills od videos plus descriptions of his style posted here I'm not inclined to spend my time doing so.
I listened to Rush...oh, maybe 10/15 years ago, for a short while and got sick of that too.

So tell me, since you have been spending so much time and energy promoting him.....don't you think there are other ways of getting or arriving at the same conclusions for even those of us that might basically agree with much of what he has to say?
You're beginning to sound like someone that just discovered that Vit C is good for you and is trying to get everybody to rush to the store and buy some (I think fanatical is the word)

I seriously think that what I have recommended has turned out to be nothing but the most informative week of TV viewing I have ever done. As of yesterday nobody had attempted to prove the man wrong about the questions he asked. One reply was made to him by a left blog when they called his attention to the fact that he had misspelled Oligarch by leaving out the C. He had taken the subjects he had talked about and spelled the word but he forgot to put the c in. Guess what the c stood for. Czar and the White House called daily and told him to stop calling those czars, czars. They answered only that and since the MSM has called those people czars all this time it looked appropriate to me.

Seriously I believe that he has put his life in jeopardy because of what he did this week. Maybe I am wrong but he didn't just throw crap as he really believes in what he said. He believes in it enough that he has talked with his children about what he was doing. He knows that there is a chance he won't be around much longer because of what he has said. Nope, he wasn't just throwing crap, it seems, from all the replies he has had to the questions he boldly asked.

Watch Jozef Goebbels in old newsreels if that kind of stuff does it for ya.

Goebbels beats Beck at Beck's own twisted game.
Are those the only left blog names that you know? He listed all of them yesterday and you managed to get two of them right. Does that make you a proud follower?
