Beck corrected himself publicly on just that point.

No, I'd think Beck was a POS regardless of his class, social status, education, race, etc.

Just goes to show for the most part he talks out of the side of his neck and won't admit fault until he's anatagonized over it.

From the Denver Examiner in an article in support of Van Jones;
He was arrested twice but Beck neglects to mention the fact that the charges were dropped and Van Jones won a lawsuit based on the unlawfularrest in one case ......
Whether the arrests were lawful or not are of no consequence to the fact that he was arrested twice.

Can you provide a link to the article?


Glenn Beck's Crazy Lies About Van Jones | Environment | AlterNet
Quote:
Beck also bizarrely claims that Van was arrested in the Seattle WTO protests. That is just a flat-out falsehood. You don't have to take my word for it. Arrests and convictions are all a matter of public record. Beck is at best relying on Internet rumors or even inventing claims to boost his ratings.
Beck is no more accurate with present facts than he is with past ones.

He looks at the world through such a black and white point of view that is actually quite common among those that live in middle America. What they fail to comprehend is that a large segment of the population is not starkly liberal NOR very religious.

Progressive movement is only a tag name or label given by the media. The Womens movement has nothing to do with what we've all been taught in school. It really had nothing to do with women's rights. Everything is not what it seems.

Think about who financed women's lib, follow the money trail and you'll find out what the real agenda was.... It is part of something bigger and one cannot fully comprehend, unless one takes off the goggles......

Reseach. Research, Research.......

Glenn told me that he truely loves and respects you..! He understands there are some ignorant people who still don't see what BO is doing to our country, but of all the ignorant, he loves you most, 'cause "You the man"..!
So don't feel bad about people finding out about you, just go with it.. you know you love him....

Someone needs to bang their head against the wall so they can think clearly.

If Beck WAS so wrong, then why did both Obamie Commie buddies Van Jones and Anita Dunn RESIGN??????
