Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

You seek a rational discussion as to why Glenn fucking Beck is more qualified, or as qualified, as an elected United States Senator, to be a lawmaker. Hmmmm. Alright. Discuss away. I'm just going to step away for the duration. Thanks.

Frankin's radio show was not as influential as Beck's shows. Not even close. So I don't see why there could be equal negative reaction from Conservatives about Frankin when no one was even listening to him.

isn't the size of Franken's audience irrelevant now that he's in office?

Yes...because the only difference between Bush and Obama is race. THAT is the underlying implication accidentally made by liberals.

The problem is that without that type of delivery the basic message is NOT appealing.

The scary thing is Glenn Beck probably still has more influence on national opinion than Al Franken does as a Senator.

Glenn Beck has more influence on national opinion than most legislators.

If Beck is a racist, I'd say you could use his interview with Ellison as proof...then again that'd probably just make him a creedist

It's impossible to say. I've never seen Beck "break character". Until he does there's no way of knowing how bright he really is or what he really believes. at this point he doesn't have much incentive to not continue with his act.

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

Dear The Bus,

Just because Glenn Beck can spell 'OLIGARCH' does not mean he is not an idiot.

Regards,

Re: Glenn Beck is an idiot

Isn't Beck an alcoholic and a self loathing closet case? Whatever his story...he's all sorts of fucked up.
