Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major	About halfway into this episode of his TV show, Glenn Beck starts trying to make a point or two about Barack Obama Sr., and in doing so he makes me rage. Let's begin by putting the quotes from Problems in context (the original document is available here). This paper is a critique of another paper published by the Kenyan government detailing their economic policy plans and goals published in 1965; the general sentiment is summarized early as a criticism of how "passive" the government's policy is, which is to say it's a call for a more activist redistributionist and centralized economic program than the already redistributionist and centralized economic program in place at the time. [Note that the citations do not appear on Glenn Beck's show in the order they appear in the paper. Emphasis mine throughout. Otherwise the text was just copy/pasted.] 6:32 - "We should not only put all our efforts on growth, but should cover a wider subjects which is development. We can have a high rate of growth economically and yet not develop both economically, politically and socially. A paper such as this one, produced by the government, which should be and is a blueprint of the country

Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major	tl;dr summary: "Siding with despots and tyrants? Glenn Beck certainly takes this whole 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing seriously!" ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major	That's a good description. He got substantially more pompous after he got that TV show. I used to listen to his radio show once in a while when I was younger and more Republican, but the TV version is just unwatchable. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Level: 37 Advanced	I don't watch any of them or listen to any of them. I take that back once in a while I'll watch the daily show or cobert report but thats it. I rarely watch the news unless it's dealin with something local,I.E this nutball pastor that has been trying to get my old high school to change the mascot from the Demon to something else cause he says havin a demon for a mascot is satanic. When the mascot was taken from a WWII fighter squad that had been stationed here called the screamin demons. I swear this guy is a cult leader an is also tryin to get national fame an big a big black man like those ass clowns jessie jackson an al sharpton. The stupid fool was protestin the demon mascot outside the school this morning an got arrested. He claims he is doing gods work,well god don't care about a mascot when theres drugs,an killing an other more important stuff that needs to be foucsed on. --- I like my women like I like my chicken with just a little bit of fat on the end.

Level: 43 Editor	About halfway into this episode of his TV show, Glenn Beck starts trying to make a point or two about Barack Obama Sr., and in doing so he makes me rage. If you rage at him, he wins. I assume you realize this. <_< --- "There's a pony in the shop, but don't buy it. It might do something unfortunate to you." ~from the first Summoner's Seal topic

Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major	I think he's more a demagogue than a troll. True, criticizing him helps produce the persecution complex he likes to nurture in his audience, but he doesn't intrinsically benefit from being called out on his bullshit. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu Message last edited by Ogordemir99 on 8/10/2010 at 09:26:29 AM
