For those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s a flow chart comparing Glenn Beck with Martin Luther King, Jr. I know the rally is over and this isn’t really a lol or “funny ha-ha” or anything, but I thought it was pretty interesting. I hope you enjoy it.

tl;dr: “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST”
Been there, done that. Next?
The truth is often scarier than fiction.
Beck a racist? You betcha.
NEXT!
Thanks for entirely unintentionally proving my point. Sadly, you have no idea what it was.
Beck is a racist. And your “point” simply matches the one on your head.
Intelligent and well-reasoned as always…
I don’t think Beck is intentionally racist or even racist at all, but he is a douche nozzle.
Oh and what the hell does “tl;dr” mean?
I’m not arguing that he is or isn’t a douchenozzle (I don’t pay much attention to him, personally). I’m arguing against yet another reflexive insinuation of racism, which is all the ruling class and their stooges seem capable of lately.
tl;dr: “too long; didn’t read”
Aw, ninja’ed!
Here’s why I cry racism lately:
There is a great deal of anti-Muslim sentiment out there right now, centered mainly on the so-called “Ground Zero Mosque.” That in itself is not technically racism, but the anti-Muslim sentiment is bigotry. The racism part come from the fact that people only seem to hate on Muslims from the Middle East. My Bosnian boss at work is not being accused of jihads or terrorism. Naturally, the terrorists are coming from the Middle East, but does that really make it okay for people to hate on all Middle Eastern Muslims? I think not.
So to recap, anti-Muslim sentiment=bigotry. Anti-Middle Eastern Muslim sentiment=racism. Thank you, and God bless.
Love, The Amazing Rando
I don’t hate Muslims, I hate terrorists. Terrorists just happen to claim to be Muslim.
SOME terrorists claim to be Muslim. But too many people have it out for all Muslims on the off-chance that they might be terrorists. Or worse yet, have gotten the warped idea that the Muslim religion wants to kill us all, when that’s the twisted view of some extremists.
And that is wrong. That is profiling, and in a bad way.
You may remember after 9/11 that it was okay to torment anyone who even appeared to be from the Middle East. I felt bad for them even back then. There was an Islamic information center in Ballwin (near St. Louis) that was closed for a while after 9/11, likely out of fear of violence or vandalism. That sentiment seems to be back. Beck threw a hissy fit because Six Flags has Muslim Day on 9/12. It coincides with the end of Ramadan. It has nothing to do with 9/11. But racist jerks (and a simple Google search will prove I’m right without even having to click the links that pop up) turn it into “Muslims celebrate killing thousands of Americans by riding roller coasters on 9/12.”
It’s just awful.
Rando: I can understand you’re fear, however I think that you should realize that these groups had similar hatred prior to this. It’s getting more attention b/c of the Mosque/ Community Center. As I’ve said before it is disgusting behavior, however these same groups have been burning black Churches for years now, and it barely makes the news anymore. There is defently room for local authoirties to be on watch at Muslim areas, but I don’t think it’s the pandemic you fear.
Me personally have seen some people go out of their way as not to offend Muslims. I watched a TSA agent, NOT ask a women to remove her Burqa to confirm ID (no one even called a female to do it in private). Not that the woman was a terrorist, but how does the TSA agent know the name matches the ID? However my Driver’s license has a crack on it, and it’s unacceptable ID. Worse my passport photo has me clean shaven and I have a goatee now.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but the last several terrorist attacks have been by Muslims(Extreme as they may be)…Still Muslim
There are terrorists that aren’t Muslims, e.g. the IRA. They are Christians! Catholics, to be precise!
“Terrorists just happen to be Muslim…” Tell that to the Irish Republican Guard- who were Christian, or the Weathermen who weren’t a religious terrorist organization but a political one, or… but you probably get my point and now choose to ignore it.
Sorry, accidental generalization. Some terrorists claim to be Muslim. I hate all the others too. My bad.
Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph claim to be Muslim?
Please see previous apology. Up there. ^
You know, I find it particularly sad that most *support* for the GZM — people who feel it’s appropriate to be built, not people who think it shouldn’t be blocked by the government — comes from reflexively taking the opposite position from what those stupid, inbred, intolerant rednecks down southare going to think. (Apparently certain kinds of bigotry are still acceptable.) It’s yet another issue getting twisted into a left vs. right debate by blind partisans.
Remember all those mosques in Mississippi and Louisiana and Georgia that got firebombed in 2001? Yeah, me neither. Americans are, by and large — and definitely by world standards — a pretty tolerant and accommodating people. It’s ridiculous to claim that 60-70% of the country — including a slim majority of self-identified Democrats, last I checked — is one Allahu Akbar away from killing themselves a furriner is ridiculous. Particularly when this “average American” gets more and more intolerant in lockstep with the declining poll numbers of the people calling him so.
Umm Dhoti, don’t you get it? If you don’t support the Mosque 100%, then according to Mr. Semper Gunny, you’re as bad as the Nazis and want to put all Muslim’s in the Death Camps. And according to Rando you are anti-Islam, and want to fire bomb all Mosques out there.
You know a Mormon Bishop was murdered today as well, I guess now there’s an Anti-Christian movement going on. The murderer had quit the church and become an Athiest. So I guess Athiest are now Anti-Christian and want to kill all religious leaders.
To Rando: Yes there is a minority in this country that are intolerant of those that are different, and choose wrong ways to vent that frustration. However there are those who are very tolerant, who just have a differing opinion on the Mosque. What was done in TN was disgusting and bigotted, and let those people who comitted the crime be punished to the full extent of the law. PERIOD.
The GZM thing is annoying now. Everyone agrees that it’s perfectly legal and perfectly within their rights, we just disagree on it’s particular *location*.
Is that a fair assessment? Yes. Can we get back to better debates now? Yes? Good.
As far as our racism problem in America, why don’t we do this? Anyone who is racist, bigoted, or inbred, we just fine them $10,000 dollars for every racist, bigoted, or inbred thing they ever done/said? That’ll make up for at least 75% of our deficit AND race relations would get better. Both problems solved!
Who gets to decide what is racist? “He is the cotton-picking President of the United States.” Is this racist?
And I think that differing opinion is wrong. Period.
Does that include Democrats as well? Like the Biden Comment? How about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for some of their wrods? Rev Wright? As long as it’s enacted appropiately I’m game. Problem is that stupid 1st Amendment, which would be hard to get by.
Rando: I think you’re opinion that you have to support this Mosque 100% or your a bigot is in itself bigotted. There is a big difference between this and gay marriage, or other things.
I’m really close to going off on you. How dare you think I’m a bigot b/c I’m against the Mosque (but will not do anything to stop it from being built). You need to get off your high horse and open you mind, b/c you are right now one of the most close minded individuals I have met online. You’re acting just as close minded as Pulse or Zipper….. it’s really beneath you.
@Dan
That’s a $10,000 fine buddy. Cough it up.
@PB
Why yes, Dems as well. Rev Wright, Al Sharpton, & Jesse Jackson owe us at least 3.5 billion each.
Whatever, dude. I’m not gonna change your mind, and you’re not gonna change mine. Might as well let it go.
Rando: We won’t change each other’s minds, I don’t want to change your mind about the Mosque, I just wish you wouldn’t believe me a bigot for my belief.
I find your stance confusing, because it doesn’t really seem to mesh with other things you usually say. But I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Let’s move on.
The Tali Ban agree that the Mosque should not be built. It helps demonize America.
A $10000 fine for the comment or the quote?
Hey, watch the profiling there, son. I happen to be from New Orleans. So yeah, if you’re going to speak about bigotry, don’t make yourself into a hypocrite. Not all southerners are stupid, inbred, or intolerant, just like not all people from Appalachia are hicks who enjoy sodomizing outsiders (a la Deliverance).
On topic:
You don’t hate the religion nor the people, you hate the haters, the radicals (meanwhile, on the home front, we have our own radicals: the left, the right, corrupt politicians, politicians who care NOT for the people). Radicals will always exist, we simply need to seclude them, keep them OUT of office and positions of authority, and instill some common sense and dignity into institutional government, religion, and lifestyle.
That’s a fine speech — but you should be telling it to the people who assume you’re ignorant, bigoted, and worthless because you don’t live in the “right” state. That’s not me, sport.
But….but, sodomizing outsiders is fun!
*sigh* NOW how are we supposed to increase tourism?
And what am I supposed to do with this shipment of t-shirts saying “Come for the sodomy, stay for the barbecue!”?
tl;dr
Next time try an actual response. Your stupidity there just makes you look like an incompetent school child. If two paragraphs is too long for you, how did you escape elementary school?
Considering the person you just insulted is a teacher, I’d say they know from actual schoolchildren.
Try to play nice, please.
Sorry. I’m a little tired of people saying tl;dr to everything they disagree with. If you disagree, explain why. Don’t just dismiss it with a stupid acronym.
too long; didn’t read
Education Secretary: go to Sharpton rally
Obama’s Education Secretary Arne Duncan urged 4,000 employees to attend the rally of Reverend Al Sharpton. That’s pretty much unheard of in political circles, usually civil servants are supposed to avoid political rallies at all costs. But not this administration! Oh, we can only imagine what would be happening right now if George W. Bush urged people to attend the Glenn Beck rally!
Yes, this is obviously racist against white people, proving that Obama’s plans to subjugate whitey are moving faster than we’d expected!
GUARD YOUR TRAILERS!! READY YOUR WEAPONS!! PRESERVE AMERICA!! DIE OBAMA! DIIIIEEEE!!! i’m done………
If only, you were done that is.
don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?? or is that what you’re complaining about?
Well since you weren’t talking it was hard to hear the sarcasm in your typing.
stupid keyboard.
smileys help
Obviously you need better text reading software. Mine always voices the sarcasm just right.
I believe one fairly common indicator of sarcasm is these: ‘~’.
Example: “~Yeah, Justin Beiber is awesome.~”
Maybe he could have just used periods instead of exclamation points it would have been more obvious… yeah… no, really…
I have reread the captions and contents of the image, and didn’t see Obama’s name mentioned once.
What are you idiots talking about?
See if you can stay on subject.
For example:
This chart proves once again, there is no such thing as blacks and whites. Just smart people like King, and abysmally stupid people like Beck (and his followers.)
Very nice generalization there, buddy. Automatically, you spew that all people who agree with Glenn Beck are stupid. Very nice. Except, I happen to agree with him, and I’m not stupid. Ask around.
Bad news.
Followers of Beck are automatically stupid.
And, thanks for proving my point.
One last thing. I’m NOT your “buddy.”
I don’t associated with stupid people. Dumb is contagious.
Wow you are such an open minded individual. You know what’s a sign of stupidity, inability to think outside the box. You have a very very small box (mind). **steps away from imillard so as not to catch his dumbas$ery** Dude who has the alcohol to clean off all this dumb$hitness?
This is hands down, THE, most brilliant thing I have ever read =]
Though I do despise Beck’s popularity and stance on pretty much everything (yes, I’m a liberal; got a problem with that?), comparing him to Mr. King is not fair. MLK is not beyond criticism, either.
(But some of Beck’s shortcomings did make me wince. Probably wouldn’t be as bad with context, but…Yale? One class? Really?)
It’s because Beck ginned up a speech on the same day and the same spot as MLK’s dream speech, even sent out videos suggesting that his speech would be a world-changing event, on the level on King’s speech, the flag at Iwo Jima, and the moon landing.
And, he was quoted as saying in the BBC, that he didn’t know it was on the same day that MLK made his speach.
Oh good! Let’s do one with Rev. Al Sharpton on one side!!
Lets.
RACIST!!!!111!!!!!ELEBENTY!!!!!!!
Is there a reason why we’re comparing Sharpton to Beck? Seems arbitrary.
I think b/c Sharpton happened to have a rally in DC on the same day, yet somehow this POS website which is really getting pi$$ingly liberal lately, doesn’t do a “Let’s make fun of Sharpton” cartoon, but have done two Glen Beck ones. It’s just getting to the point of coming on here and all you really see is “Tea Party is racist, wants to kill Muslims”/ “Glen Beck is one crazy SOB and racist”/ “Anything Conservative is an idiot and dumba$$”…… it’s just boring man.
And yes there is some anit-Islamic feelings out there b/c of the Mosque, but you have jumped to the conclusion anyone who is against the Mosque is anti-Islam, and that is of itself a complete and utter hypocritical move on your part. Just b/c you don’t support the Mosque doesn’t mean you’re anti-Islam, it just means that you might not think putting a Mosque on the site where property was damaged by falling debri by radical Muslims is such a good idea. As I’ve said if it was a Christian attack, and someone wanted to build a church, I would be against it too. Also are you sayin all the Msulim population who’s against it are “anti-Muslim” as well? YOU need to look in the mirror and see the hypocrisy you’re spouting open being open minded when you’re being just as closed minded.
Hmmm…interesting…nope, I still think I’m right.
So I’m anti-Islam b/c I don’t support the Mosque. Wow Rando, that’s new low for even you.
No, it’s right on par.
No it’s not on par, or else I wouldn’t be saying it. Go screw a goat or whatever it is you do in your Mom’s basement.
have you thought of taking an anger management course?
I think we can say ass. asshat and dumbass without dollar signs.
See that comment above “have you thought of taking an anger management course?” can easily be taken out of context, and usually would get an a$shat response. And we’ve been through this before, my computer won’t let me.
Have you read my posts. I’m the most infamous bad speller./ grammar guy on here.
Probably true, but I’m a hopeless trypest too; I’m just a better proff-reider.
He’s not the only one who has to suffer with an @$$-hatted firewall.
Yes, I see the reasoning behind not supporting the mosque as anti-Islam. If you don’t like it, tough.
“new low for even you.”
Why thank you. I love it when you slip into conservatroll mode. You become completely intolerable to talk to. Again, conservapedia may be more up your alley. According to Kn0w, they love to dump on us evil liberals there.
Rando: See b/c you’re being close minded I’m a conservatroll. RIIIIIGGGGGHTTTTTTT!!!
What if I said I’m 100% supporting the Mosque anywhere in the city where debri didn’t damage a building to the point of being condemned. What if I support the Islamic community center going up 1 mile from my house? What if I support haing a Government holiday for Ramedan (b/c it is Muslim’s equivalent to Christmas)? Didn’t think to ask those things. No it’s “You’re against one Mosque you’re against an entire religion!” You’re being a close minded a$$hat.
I’ve never called liberals evil… you’re the one calling me a bigot. You’re porjecting your fear from a minority of indivduals onto this one issue, and b/c of that you my friend have turned into a liberatroll.
1. It’s not a mosque.
2. It’s 2 blocks from Ground Zero.
3. Since the builders of this community center are not terrorists there is no reason for them to go elsewhere.
4. If someone HAD decided to put a Christian church there, we wouldn’t have even heard about it.
5. This is going in circles. We’ve been over the same information 100 times already.
But you still think I’m a bigot. Even though I’ve shown you proof to the otherwise.
I just really don’t see any reason for opposition to this in the first place. I don’t think you’re a bigot, but I think your view (as well as many many other people) on this building is wrong. That’s all there is to it. Many people who oppose this building are bigots. Many don’t even realize they are.
Ahh the old, you don’t even know you are one line…… I guess my front tooth feels that I must be a bigot for losing it to some dumba$$ LI “boy” when he went after my friend after 9/11. But I guess that’s the addage “I’m not racsist, some of my friends are black” line.
the dollar signs are unnecessary. you can say dumbass.
Ummm not when your PC will edit them out.
…and he just said he didn’t think you are a bigot. didn’t you read what he said?
BTW, I know this is a very complex issue with a huge range of opinions and reasons behind those opinions.
I am in favor of the Muslim community center, because I believe it will prove that the terrorists were wrong… that we are not the hateful enemy of Islam.
A dear friend of mine, who is Muslim, believes they should find another location. she says that they DO have a LEGAL right to build there, but they should be wiser than to do so.
OOB: He did say he didn’t think I was a bigot, but then he threw in the “Many people who oppose this building are bigots. Many don’t even realize they are.” But I’m done Rando and I made our peace below.
Wow, this is getting bad.
Rando & PB, chill out you guys. I know this is a hot button issue, but why so serial? We’re all pretty passionate about this, but calling each other trolls isn’t going to bring us anywhere…
He called me a troll back first…..
Aww, MOOOOM!
OMG, are you one of my sons? you sound just like… : )
oh randon’t shrieks that “troll” label at everyone who has a disenting opinion because he’s got no better argument. like left wing people of color scream racist if you disagree with welfare and government handouts. It just means you won. Well done.
Randon’t! I love it! That’s great, dude. Can I use that? I’m using that.
LOL! But that means you now have to join the party of “No”. Sorry!
It’s nice that even the conservatives are calling the GOP by it’s proper name now.
Nothing wrong with saying NO to the insane spending of the left.
Really? Where was the party of No during the 8 years of insane spending by GWB? Cheering him on I believe.
Now it seems they just say No to EVERYTHING the Democrats do, regardless of merrit.
They supported GWB. They approved his spending as far at the bailout went, and they shouldn’t have. I did not like the bailout, they were wrong on that.
Ew, no thanks. Back to the old name.
You could join the Party of Noh. I hear you get to wear a mask.
I get what you’re saying, shimauma. Put another way, it’s sort of like how right wing people scream socialist the minute someone points out that helping people in need might be good for society.
… and PB calls everone an a$$hat or dumba$$.
Only when they be acting like one.
He’s actually never called me a troll. Maybe it’s because I’m just so awesome.
Yeah, you’re awesome and definitely not a troll.
Told you guys.
1. you have called liberals “a$$hat” (please, drop the dollar signs)
2. the Six Flags day for Muslims is for Eid, the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan, not for Ramadan itself. Muslims are not allowed to et or drink anything during daylight hours during Ramadan, so the next day is a big holiday… when they can party all day long. It is Eid that is like our Christmas.
{BTW, Muslims who are too young, too old, pregnant, nursing, or in poor health, are not allowed/required to participate in the fasting of Ramadan.}
Eid Mubarak
1. I will use dollar signs if I please. Thanks….. as my computer will edit out swear words. And where did I call all liberals a$shats?
2. I didn’t say anything about Six Flags did I? I said I would support a Federal Holiday to celebrate Ramadan, since Eid is technically part of Ramadan (like the Last Supper and Good Friday are ususally part of the Easter Celebration).
I guess I’m trying to find where your post was going.
didn’t know your PC would edit against you will.
I am fortunate in that I can control mine.
my Muslim friends make a big distinction between Ramadan and Eid, even though they are connected. kind of like Mardi Gras and Lent are connected, but not thought of as the same thing, or as one being part of the other.
where was I going?
to provide information. not everything posted to you is an attack.
did you read the last part of my post? you made no reference to it. so I will further explain:
I realize what you are saying about the Muslim community center… that it is legal, you realize and acknowledge they have a right to build it, and you will not try to stop them. but, at the same time, you feel it is not a wise thing to do. maybe you are even concerned that it might draw harm to those attending, and start a whole new wave of hostility on both sides. that is how my Muslim friend feels.
.. and you have called people “a$$hat,” (me included) when they express liberal views, or say anything you feel is insulting to you. (even if it isn’t you you are being just a tad… overreactive)
I’m never overreactive you ignorant a$sbag!!! (look new word, btw I was kidding, you’re not an as$bag).
But I never say, “All liberals are a$shats or dumba$ses” have I. And it’s not just liberal views, it has in times been a bit condescending in the expression of it.
you dropped one of the dollar signs!
and you have a new word!
life is good. : )
It may be the firewall (rather than the personal system) which ILPB probably won’t have control over (unless at home).
At home it’s the puter (parental controls that for some reason Apple can’t fix) and at work it’s the Firewall.
Times when it’s good to know someone in IT, even if he is a filthy LiberLOL?
See only a liberal would try and squash my 1st Amendment right b/c it might offend someone…
Oh no; you have every right to buy over-priced, over-designed and under-specced Apple kit. Also, your employer has every right to stop you posting certain words on the Internet (1st Amendment doesn’t come into it, because you’re using their hardware).
Just because I would use a PC running Linux doesn’t mean you have to.
Al Sharpton is an asshat.
PK has gotten annoyingly unfunny as of late.
And you’re anti-Islam because I used to work on a lam and u tok r jerbz!!!
*rabble rabble rabble*
Wait now – comparing Sharpton to Beck? or comparing MLK to Sharpton? Cause if we just replace Beck with Sharpton the chart won’t look much different.
Funny how King’s own Neice was at Gleen’s Rally and gave Al Shartin the Cold Shoulder…. at his that was in Washington at the same time… Time you Wake up America The Wolf is in charge of watching the Sheep and it’s going to get bloody….
ooh! that was intelligent sounding! do some more!!
Dude, fail. Learn how to compose sentences properly before you embarrass yourself again.
well excuuuuuse me. i had no idea the comments i left on the cheezburger network would be scrutinized for grammatical correctness by the king of turtleland. what the hell is that anyway??
He was responding to Mark, doofus.
*walks to corner of shame, sits down quietly* sorry king of turtleland
And you stay there and think about what you did!
I shall forgive you if you become a citizen of my loyal shell army.
yay! ok. and what does that involve exactly?
WE KILL LOBSTERS AND CELEBRATE OUR VICTORIES BY BUTTERING AND SAUTEING THEIR INSIDES!!
O_O
HE IS NOT THE RULER OF TURTLELAND!
THE LOBSTER JESUS WILL USURP HIM AND CLAIM RIGHTEOUS VICTORY!
BOW TO THE LOBSTER JESUS AND YOU MAY BE SAVED!!!
Who is Gleen?
And why am I waking up America the Wolf? Who names a wolf America anyway?
I don’t really see a reason for bloodshed. Is that really the message that Beck wants to send?
I had a dog named Norway…Oh wait, that was Narwhal. Never mind.
Who ever did this forgot some things in King’s life: 17 mistress’s (FBI has it in his file, sealed almost forever) going out with one guys wife before the “I have dream” speech and firing the guy for complaining about it. IF THIS MAN HAD NOTHING TO HIDE, WHY IS HIS FILE THE ONLY FILE THE FBI WILL NOT RELEASE? A former agent said it would cause rioting. That’s how his people deal with anything, riots, but the truth is the truth. He was a wife swapping romeo who did what he did for money and women, not just “his people” Give it a rest and tell teh truth about this guy. I am black so save it already.
He had a dream alright, most of them wet.
So how do you know as absolute fact the exact contents of this super secret FBI file that is sealed and will never be released then?
Can’t be that secret now, can it?
The military and intelligence communities can barely manage to keep secrets — ever hear of Area 51? — so why do you expect the FBI to be able to keep the dossier of one of the most famous Americans of the last 100 years secret?
For your sake, I hope you aren’t talking about Area 51 in relation to aliens. That would be a credibility killer.
Duh. Everyone knows the aliens are *really* kept at Area 52 — have been ever since Nixon went to China to trade spaceship parts for a couple of pandas.
Never heard of Groom Lake, huh?
Area 51 is what the government leaked to take attention away from Area 52 which is where the aliens REALLY are. Along with the Ark of the Covenant.
And Jimmy Hoffa
And, Glenn Beck’s credibility.
Doesn’t that have to exist before it is hidden?
Now THAT is a win!
Wow, sounds like a complete slime ball. It’s too bad he never did anything good with his life. I hope they never give the guy a holiday or anything.
They gave a slave trading, oppurtunistic thief a holiday as well. I thin this country would give anyone a Holiday, except Mohammed or Buddah… or anyone who isn’t Christian, you know that’ll lead to the downfall of America
Wait, do you mean Columbus? I’m guessing you mean Columbus. Well, my kids don’t get Columbus Day off school, so I’m cool with Columbus Day. But you’re right, he wasn’t the hero they make him out to be in the history textbooks.
As for holidays for everyone, I’m going for a Tom Servo Day. Anyone with me?
2Pac Day.
We all get tattoos of “Thug Life” on our stomachs, spread awesome political messages that’s missed by at least 1/2 of our listeners, have sex with lots of women, then get shot before we could realize our full potential.
The next day, there will be conspiracy theories that the government did it to keep us down.
East Coast Beotches!!!! Big E Smalls for Prez!!!!
Haha! Win!
West Coast 4 lyfe doh! Fvck da police!!!
depends on how hot they are.
I don’t fvck just anybody.
And 15 years after our deaths there will be crappily edited album releases from our basement studios feeding conspiracy theories on how we are still alive.
You know like Elvis and the Kennedy assassin and Jimmy Hoffa all living together in a trailer park in Kansas
Please DO NOT get me started on the albums or the conspiracy theories…
But it’s fun and maybe we can draw one of those nutters out of the shadows to play with.
It’s been so grim here lately with all the regulars attacking each other. Nothing brings adversaries together like a common enemy right?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I liked the albums produced by Dre. Him and Pac had perfect chemistry, so his production fit well. The albums produced by Em were just…bleh. I mean I’m a HUGE fan of Eminem, but his producing style does not mix well with Pac’s style of rhyming. West Coast has more groove & funk. East is grittier and more hard hitting. His style goes better with Jay Z.
As far as Pac still being alive, first he was supposed to come back in the year 2000, seven years after his death. Didn’t happen. Then they said the calculations were wrong so it was supposed to be 2005. My graduation day, I watched the news all day to see if it’ll happen. Nothing. Now he’s supposedly supposed to be back in 2012. The guy is dead already! Let him rest in peace. He gave us great music and some of the best poetry I’ve ever read. Let the man be dammit!
Had to get that off my chest.
The only musical monstrosity that I predict will occur in 2012 is on December 21 there will be a concert by an act I call “The Default Creed of a Dead Man’s Nickle” (Nickleback, Creed, Default and Theory of a Dead man) The repetitive derivative strumming and bad over expressed singing will cause the world’s end.
And may Tupac and the others rest in peace
LMAO. They all do suck. The only Creed song I think I ever liked was “My Sacrifice”. But at that time I was really into WWF and that was the theme for Wrestlemania XXX. Or was it XXV? Whichever.
Gotta say R.I.P to Aaliyah as well. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, awesome music. It seems R&B has been hitting a slump ever since she passed. Alicia Keys and Monica are the only artists doing it well anymore. Not even Mary J Blige is doing much R&B.
If I had not completely stopped listening to commercial radio 2 years ago I could probably add another 3 bands to that list easy.
I don’t really share your musical taste but we both agree Creedleback sucks and that’s good common ground.
But but but… We DON’T all hate Creed. Nickelback is not too good though.
Geeze…I know my signing is bad…but it’s not THAT bad…
Dolly Parton day. We all tease our hair high, get nail extensions, show off our assets with low-cut shirts and tight pants, and then sing some gorgeous music.
Hey, some of hers IS gorgeous. Really! I just like to pretend that 9-to-five doesn’t exist…
Hey she’s still got it at her age. Pushing 60 and still better than half the “things” in today’s world.
Ohohoh! Look up ‘Patricia Paay’ and guess what her age is. No peeking! If you get it right, I’ll tell you a fun fact about her… Well, I’ll tell you anyways, but whatevs.
Um, no. No Tom Servo day.
At least, not until Crow T. Robot has a day. Please.
No, we need Servo Day, you unamerican terrorist!
They left out a few things about Martin Luther King:
* Plagiarized somewhere between one-half and two-thirds of his Ph.D. dissertation (source: WSJ)
* Most of “his” great works were written for him, mainly by white liberals and radicals friendly with the civil rights movement, including the Birmingham Jail letter.
* In spite of being a Christian pastor, privately doubted the divinity of Christ (source: Ralph Abernathy)
* In spite of professing Christianity and all its moral teachings, was known to have many extra-marital affairs and numerous sordid group sex sessions (source: FBI wiretaps ordered by RFK), including the night before he was assassinated (source: Ralph Abernathy)
And now one supposition on my part:
* James Earl Ray was a front. The assassination of MLK was ordered by his “friends” in the Civil Rights movement, because they wanted a dead martyr instead of a discredited washed-up old preacher on their hands.
Now, for you libs, I will grant you this part:
* The aforementioned niece that Mark mentions, who was with Glenn Beck and on his side, is no conservative. The only reason she’s running around with lamestream conservatives is because she’s on the outs with the rest of the King family, and it’s all got to do with money.
You are a paranoid nutter.
So naturally a great black hero had to have been secretly a slimeball and the good things he did were actually done by white people. Wow.
Yeah, I kind of have to agree with you here (weird). If Puggggggggg can prove any of this, I’ll think about it. Those things all kind of seem a little ridiculous right now.
Wait? MLK was white? DAMN IT!!!! (note sarcasm)
I respect MLK, and wish he hadn’t been assinated (for many many reasons), we could use some of his guidance as a country today (though he’d be like what 98 or something?)
If MLK was alive today at least his age would be higher than the combined IQ of today’s pundits and politicians (all of them, I take no sides)
Beck really took it up the keister in this one.
Lefty smear jobs go with the territory.
He could use the putdown to the nothing who composed this trash:
“I crrap bigger’n you”
Get over it. All pundits deserve this treatment and you know it!
Then where’s this treatment for Al Shaprton? Or Keith? Or Maddow? Oh that’s right they’re on your side. I can honestly say ALL pundits should be treated this way, and I expect some liberal roasting soon.
One of them offered Olberman for Beck, but I declined their generous offer.
Is Sharpton a pundit? I thought he was just an attention whore.
As for Olbermann and Maddow, you gotta admit, neither are nearly as high profile as the likes of Beck, who has pimped himself out greatly. Olbermann has Countdown, and memories of SportsCenter. And not many people take him seriously. He’s gone so far over the top, and he does nothing but obsess over what the right wing pundits have to say instead of saying something useful or constructive himself. That’s the thing about liberal pundits. They’re not nearly as high profile as the right wing pundits and they don’t have near the influence as right wing pundits. And that scares me about right wing pundits.
Sharpton seems pundit enough for me.
I think that the Right Wing Pundits don’t have as much power as you think. Yes there are sheeple, but I think part of the reason the “right” pundits have the appearance of power is b/c the standard media is so left it a) portrays that and b) anything outside of that is perceived as training sheeple. However the left’s voice is heard more often than the rights. Just a theory, could be wrong.
Those that scare me are the Palin’s and other Politicians that start sounding like Pundits.
Going to have to disagree with you there. The right has been much more effective (at least until recently) at presenting a solid front, while the left has always been more fractured. The 2006 and 2008 elections have been the closest in years that the Dems have come to actually being unified, and in both cases all they really had to do was take advantage of people’s Bush fatigue.
Beck and his ilk are much more effective at pushing a message than their liberal counterparts. Even if you’re right and the left’s ‘voice’ is heard more often, 5 voices loudly speaking one message gets through more clearly than 10 babbling different messages.
And I have to disagree with the continued portrayal of Fox News as some sort of outsider. They’re just as much a part of the news media establishment as the other two major networks, they’re just spreading a different message. In every case, you have pundits who are speaking what their viewers want to hear regardless of whether or not facts support their views on that particular issue. A pundit’s job is not to inform, but to give people what they want; failure to give the audience what they want to see means they find someone else who will give it.
The major difference I see between Beck and the liberal pundits? I have never heard crowds of people insist that Olbermann is just giving them the truth the ‘mainstream’ doesn’t want them to hear. Blind faith in any pundit, a lack of willingness to fact check, is dangerous, and Beck just happens to be the one who inspires it more. That he’s willing to relate so many things to Nazism no matter how poor the connection makes him, in my mind, even worse because of the faith that his viewership has in him.
The above said, Rando’s pretty much spot on about Olbermann. His seeming obsession with taking FN down a few pegs seems to cloud his ability to actually offer anything constructive. I would include him as part of the problem.
And Al Sharpton has never been someone I’ve taken seriously. He comes across as more interested in his own public image as a leader than in showing actual leadership.
As far as Maddow goes, the only time I’ve watched her was an episode where she tore apart the argument of a ‘cured’ gay man whose writing about homosexuality (including discredited claims about homosexuality and molestation) was used to help justify the anti-homosexual laws in Uganda (the infamous ‘Kill the Gays Bill’). I can’t honestly judge without having seen more of her, and it would be dishonest to insult simply for the sake of being ‘fair’ in criticizing both the left and right (which should be about the substance of the claims made by the pundits and not simply about mocking them equally).
some conservative pundits are bad.
some conservative pundits are good,
some liberal pundita are bad.
some liberal pundits are good.
…and this little piggy went “wee, wee, wee” all the way home.
(sorry, that lst just popped out.)
no roasting …just too hot to turn on the oven.
Actually I think all Pundits are bad.
Raost them all and let God sort them out.
…but…but…but…it’s TOO HOT to turn on the oven. (we are setting records all over Texas… #of days it has gone over 100.)
*turns fan to highest setting and takes another gulp of ice tea*
Global Warming… global warming’s going to roast us all…. Al Gore save us from our wicked ways!!!
Well it should be easy to Roast the pundits. Take them to a Whole Foods parking lot (I’m sure a liberal place like Whole Foods ain’t used much in TX) tie them to a turning spicket over the balck top. That’ll roast them
You must not have ever visited Austin. There are a lot of implants now from California, but even excluding them they have a lot of granola-lovin’ liberals there. True story, I knew I guy who worked in Austin for Whole Foods and the recycling bin was full. The manager told him to just dump the recycling bin in the dumpster so that people could still use it. The guy actually quit over the principle of the thing. I think it’s funny because people who shop at places like that tend to be a little too smug about it and they are really just supporting another giant corporation that they think they are rebelling against by shopping there. Kinda like the people who shop at Hot Topic.
Al Sharpton definitely does NOT belong in that company.
You’re right, he’s lower.
GB is a slimy opportunist pig with no redeeming qualities. Comparing him w MLK is pointless no matter what things MLK may or may not have done. MLK is an inspiration to people, GB is not an inspiration.
Sorry, but this is a Hate piece and should be taken down. Funny, tho, how who is doing the Hating has come around 180 degrees from when Dr. King made his “I have a dream” speech. Now a white male cannot even agree with Dr. King without being the target of smear artists like this one. We are in dire straits, Martin, can you not intercede for ALL of us who believe in your dream?
Beck basically asked for the comparison. He might not have intentionally chosen to speak on the anniversary of MLK’s famous speech, and the location is neutral. But once he found out about the anniversary, he milked it for what he could. So I’ve no sympathy. And I don’t see hate, I see a comparison between a pundit and a politically active minister. With the exception of *cringe* Charles Kraufthammer, most pundits are NOT going to compare well.
well obviously beck is just looking for publicity, and what better way to cause a stir than to stage a rally on MLK day?? it’s just a stunt.
Publicity? There were 1/2 million people there, I don’t think he needs to hunt for it.
Independent estimates say less than 100,000 people, but it’s well known that facts have a liberal bias.
So does (your) selection bias. I’ve seen estimates anywhere from 60,000 to 650,000 — picking and choosing is fun!
As you should be aware, crowd estimation is a complex and time-consuming task.
Which is why I’d choose to rely on the estimates from a group that (supposedly) does them professionally (AirPhotosLive.com) rather than the fevered dreams of a carnival barker (Beck).
Now, to be fair, I have no evidence that AirPhotosLive.com knows what they’re doing when it comes to crowd estimation. But, I can tell you that I sleep MUCH better at night thinking that the number is lower. Because a half-million people indicates that a future child of mine is, apparently, much more likely to suffer from some kind of mental defect than I’m comfortable with.
Mentally defective and unfit for breeding, huh? You really make it easy.
Don’t you know it’s bad to say liberalism is a disease, however to say Conservatism is mental defect is accepted. It’s the double standards we must live with.
Stop trolling, Trolly McTrollerson.
That’s RACIST!
Uh…because…well…
Never mind, I’ve got nothing.
That’s Jew talk.
Jew shut up now, jew!!! **tempted to do the my version of the Super Troopers “Meow” skit again**
Now hold on one cotton-pickin’ minute!
Oh so now you’re against minutes? Anti-Minite!!! Hey wait that sounds like… **walks off distracted by little red light on the wall**
You know who else said “That’s Jew talk?” HITLER. Yeah. Think about it.
“Crowd estimation is total bull$hit” FTFY!
Name the source of your ‘fact’ and the bias will likely be plain to all.
The bias of the media is a certain fact these days.
Hmmm…I wonder why the majority of the media would be biased to the left…maybe because the left rocks!
More likely they have rocks in their heads.
Nah, I’m pretty sure we’re awesome.
Some, yes. All, no. You, yes. RSF132, no.
Yeah, he does seem to be a bit of an ass.
OK, I’ll err on the side of the independent company which does these estimations professionally using aerial photographs and calculations of crowd density, and you can take your figure from the organiser of the event, who has a vested interest in the number being as large as possible and came to the figure by pulling it directly out of his ass. Whose bias do you think is showing here?
At least he’s not taking the words of Michelle “At least a million” Bachmann.
NBC, not really known for a rightward-slant, reported 300,000.
Really? I heard there were 2.5 million including several world leaders and Glenn walked on water. Can anyone confirm this?
Picture picture picture… LOTS of people, trust me. Not 2.5 million, and probably less than 500000, but probably in the ballpark of 300000.
Yikes.
Frightening, isn’t it? What if we’d had a stampede? I wouldn’t be able to share my genius with you.
I don’t go into the crowds for downtown Boston fireworks anymore. Ever been in a moving group where you literally only had to lift your feet–all forward momentum came from the crowd squishing you on all sides? *shudders*
Yes. It’s a terribly unpleasant experience.
Unless the crowd is 100% made up of the Firemen from the Calendar.
Umm scouty MLK day is not in August. It’s in January.
If you did a timeline of Obama you might find some rather disturbing things there in his past (drugs, consorting with terrorists, etc..) and he is supposed to be our president.
How old is Beck? Did this ‘timeline’ leave out the time to present?
It kind of jumped 6 years near the end. What happened there that the author doesnt bother to mention?
And some saints were great sinners but then saw the light, but those are just fables and cant possibly happen to people, right???
SO any message that Beck puts out is instantly wrong (no matter how much merit it has) because of a colorful past in the entertainment end of media.
Lets treat Obama the same way then, except that his message is poison for America and doesnt actually have merit on its side, no matter how much drugs he did while young or his valueless time-serving in legislature it doesnt change that.
Beware the Sword of Truth cuts both ways.
Did drugs? Consorted with terrorists? Are you sure you’re not talking about George W Bush?
Come back when you are back into reality there boy.
Google William Ayers and Obamas own book about his youth.
Yeah, you got it. Obama just loves the terrorists. You’re a fvcking moron, you know that? Just THINK about how ridiculous that sounds. He knew Ayers. He didn’t study terrorism under him. As for the drugs, apparently he did some drugs in his youth. A lot of people do. He stopped. That’s a good thing. And yeah, your buddy GWB was a cokehead and a drunk, so stop looking down your nose at people.
Obama does coke, and it’s a youthful indiscretion. GWB does coke, and he’s a cokehead. That’s some lovely hypocrisy you got going on there.
GWB was pulled over for driving under the influence at the age of 30, and claimed at one point that it was a ‘youthful indiscretion’.
So where shall we draw the lines? How old? How many uses? How long a period of use is allowed?
Well some people take longer to grow up than others. Come on Obama plays with a light saber!!!!! (before some idiot takes this as me being serious, I’m not).
I wanna lightsaber! I wanna lightsaber! Mooooom! *whines*
I could make a joke about GWB having an infantile mind, but that’d make me a hypocrite, I’m afraid…
Nevermind, ILPB has done a good and subtle job already.
Not necessarily; hypocracy would be when/if you don’t admit to having an infantile mind and still make jokes about Dubya.
But I really can’t stand it when people call me infantile. I just like watching Spongebob, damnit!
That’s different, but only because he was well named when they called him Squarepants. I like animation; just not that one!
*LE GASP* How could you NOT like him?! He’s so cute, so yellow, so.. squarish. Alright alright, I must admit that I solely watch it because Patrick is my hero. So dumb yet still alive, that’s awesome. That, and Mr. Crabs (at least, that’s how he’s called here, albeit differently spelled) is so perfectly in tune with the Dutch mindset, being Scrooge McScroogerson and all..
looking at Miss Fit’s picture….. I have to side on caution with her.
Not that I’m compalining about the picture, but it isn’t he bastion of non-infantile… 
‘Com-Palin-ing’? Freudian slip?
Besides that, my boobatar is 100% Dutch – they’re Doutzen Kroes’s.
*oogles boobies* i agree with whatever she just said.
Just responding in kind.
You drank the kool-aid. I’d say enjoy your new Fox News America, if i didn’t actually have to live in it.
You don’t. Go move to Europe with the other people I’ve asked to go. You’ll like it there, trust me. Socialist “utopia” so I’ve been told.
I like Texas, but I hate Texas representation. Is it ok to b1tch about politics without being asked to leave the country? You call our elected Democratic President a *list of BS the right-wing calls our President* and then tell me to move to a different country when I say i disagree with you.
You’re the one complaining about living here, so don’t get upset with me when I offer you a solution. Also, when have I called the President names? Unless socialist counts, I don’t name call, I debate.
What’s wrong with trying to improve the country? If we don’t like the way the country we live in is being run, then why say “go live in Europe.” Why not try to make it better? Just because YOU don’t like the direction we want to the country we should leave?
Nothing’s wrong with trying to improve the country, but I don’t believe that’s what is happening. People are complaining that they don’t like America, so I’m letting them know that there’s a completely valid option of leaving it.
BOOOOOO!!!! *throws tomato*
at pulse, that is.
The Sword of Truth? Did you roll a d20 to get it? Will it cut a +50 Wedge of Cheese?
He cheated and read the DM’s papers while the DM was in the bathroom so he knew where all the traps and treasures were in the temple. That’s also how he found out the dragon guarding the treasure was severely allergic to Mountain Dew. Seriously, don’t game with this guy.
I thought he used rigged dice. However I also heard his mom’s basement smells like mothballs and used kitty litter.
well said Pulse. Careful telling the truth tho, the libtards could be in danger of having brain aneurisms…if they had brains
Brain aneurysm, you freaking moron. If you’re gonna insult our supposed lack of brains, at least act like you have one.
I believe it’s grammatically correct to say “going to” vice “gonna”. (Had to try and get Danabla’s law in there somewhere)
The rest I totally agree with. I do see the irony in that. I do feel kind of sorry for the dog in the picture though….. poor thing doesn’t stand a chance.
Well, yes, that’s true, but I did spell “gonna” correctly.
I admire your random capitalisation. Please inform us more about the brainless state, as you seem to have some exclusive insight.
So anything Beck says has merit and anything Obama says does not?
Is there more kool-aid, or did you drink it all?
[citation needed] – including a demonstation that you can find a right-wing poster child that you can make 10 accurate and positive statements about.
As Jessie Jackson would Say Can’t we all get along???? Us blacks are still the slaves to the White Devil… He Gives us Money to Eat better then he does, Gives us Money to Drive Brand New Caddies, He Pays for are woman to give birth to more slave to take his Money that he works for day in and day out so we don’t have to work and just lay around all day smokeing our weed and doing our drugs….
Wow are you a sleazeball.
You suck.
Do you know who does this kind of thing in my town? Not the black people. Yes, you guessed it! It’s whitey!
I thought it was the Asians. Those rascially Asians.
The truth hits like a baseball traveling 70mph into your face.
scouty,
are you for real?
ok i’mjust saying, but there are two scoutys here. i do not wish to be confused for the crazy one…….
Wow, this sight is really Liberal, I have not seen even one center of teh road cartoon thing like this.
There have a been a few, but yeah the SITE is liberal leaning, but that’s because that’s the kind of readership it has.
Shameless plug: You want some liberalols, check me out. Nah just kidding. I have a few, but they’re average at best. There are a few on the site, but they’re not so great either. If you see a good one, share it. If you think of a good one, make it.
Difference is non one makes the fvcking Cartoons. I don’t care about the LOLs, but the Cartoons are voted on but just posted. Come on Dan…
Then click on the thing at the top that says “captions.” You won’t have to look at any of those filthy liberal cartoons anymore. I’ve heard conservapedia is a good place to go to hate on flaming fvcking liberals too.
Nono.. I liek the funnies on here. I’ll laugh at anything funny. And clean. And that completely agrees with me. Wait, not much on here does. Good thing I’m flexible.
Or you could actually support a bi-partisan avenue. You know that who, let’s bring the country together you liberals seem to be touting. Who’s being devisive now? **waits for the spin job**
DO NOT GO ON CONSERVAPEDIA!!!
Even my Right wing, Christian, Creationist, Conservative friends hate it!
I just had a look – I can’t stop laughing. If you take it as a satirical website à la “The Onion”, it is quite amusing.
Quote from the main page:
“Sarah Palin’s endorsement is considered the political gold standard for conservatives.”
Ahh .. the interwebs.
I really don’t think PK is going to bring the country together, dude.
It could be a start….
BTW, these cartoons seem to get lots and lots of comments, so it’s no surprise that they keep coming. And it’s also no surprise that many of them come from conservatives visiting this site, so you guys are digging your own hole on that front.
And if there was one against liberals (you know the 1 and 10) you get the same flame war. God Rando something really crawled up yer a$$ and died about conservatives lately. You have a really hard time diserning the nut jobs from the mentally competent. As I said, you lost your open mind.
In Rando’s defense, he’s one of the last liberals in a sea of conservatrolls, and they’ve all taken aim at him. The rest of us are almost all gone.
And they DO take aim at me. Allllll the time.
I’ve felt I’ve put my fair share of Conservatrolls in their place. Ivan, where’d you go?
Here’s my question, to play devil’s advocate a little. Is this all pizzabutt’s doing or is he the victim of idiot bosses passing down orders of “do it liberal, it gets people posting like crazy!”
Either way, he does seem to have a bit of an attitude with us, doesn’t he?
**hands Rando petition that says “Get Pizza Da Hutt off PK”** You wanna sign?
**sits and wonders how long until pizza decides to moderate him for being mean to pizza**
There are a fair share of conservatrolls, but it is BY NO MEANS an epidemic. There are plenty of liberatrolls on here. There are also several fair conservatives and liberals. Rando is a fair liberal. People do take aim at him, because he disagrees with him. Trust me, it’s not only conservatrolls out there.
Well I guess in the mayhem you missed my posts defending conservatives on the whole. Conservatives are good people who I disagree strongly with on a great many issues.
I think it’s the Mosque issue. And to be honest, haven’t been here much. just the Glen Beck posts that seem to have you frothing at conservatives and not just the trolls.
Well, I get snippy, but overall I like you, and Dhoti, and dan who is pretty new but is a pretty good guy. I get passionate about things. We all do. And I despise Beck, so it really brings the froth out. But it’s mostly aimed at trolls.
which one are you ILPB? nut job or mentally competent? just curious.
**hits wicket upside the head with a board with a nail in it** That your answer?
Definitely nut job.
I could always share the one comparing Beck’s and Sharpton’s rallies by showing Beck saying something pious and Sharpton saying something he never actually said to make him look worse than he already makes himself look.
This is total crap, and I want humor here. They used to have funny jokes about both the major parties. Now it’s all just Beck/Palin/Bush smashing. Seriously guys? Bush smashing? Not only is it a great euphemism, but it’s old news. He was president, he’s not any more. Obama sucks pretty bad too.
*sobbing quietly in the corner* Can’t… I… just… *sniffle* get a LOL? I want to laugh. I’ve had a rough few days. Why do we have to go at each other’s throats on what is supposed to be a humor site?
Editor: Please just give us the LOLs and save the political cartoons for the papers.
*hugs kake* There there. We all want some political lols. Sadly we have to settle for cute kitties over that way *points to the kitty page*
*passes kake a tissue*
*froths at mouth* KITTIES ARE UNAMERICAN YOU BIGOTS~!!!
*dabs eyes* Thanks. I just went and got my Daily Squee… feeling better now.
Both registered Republicans
and Texas used to vote Democratic, what’s your point?
/facepalm
and China used to believe the earth was flat while the heavens were round, what’s yours?
He’s pointing out that MLK having been a Republican doesn’t necessarily mean he’d identify with the modern Republican party.
Personally, I’m pretty sure Reagan would be considered too liberal at this point.
Because the modern Republican party is calling for the segregation of blacks?
Do you intentionally read things that aren’t there into people’s statements? The Republican party has changed since the 60s, that much is widely agreed on (whether the change has been for the worse or for the better is what’s less agreed on). Someone who might have voted Democrat 100 years ago might vote Republican now, and vice versa. Simply stating that MLK registered Republican adds nothing to this discussion.
Nooooo, I’m pointing out what your words mean. You said MLK wouldn’t agree with today’s modern Republicans. And I pointed out, “what modern Republican is calling for the segregation along certain skin color lines that Democrats were calling for back then?” (weee! long form!)
Anyways, apparently democrats decided to say screw you and become racist republicans and republicans decided to say screw you and become racists democrats. Cause that makes TOTAL SENSE. In the 60s or something.
Are you saying that the only reason MLK joined the Republicans was their Human Rights stance? It is in no way conceivable that he joined them for other reasons, and would now find himself more closely alighned with the Democrats?
Do tell what the allure of modern democrats are to Reverend King.
Your assertion was that because MLK was a 1960s Republican he’d be a 2010 one had he lived (given his age when assassinated, that’s still not a certainty). It’s for you to provide proof. All I did was ask the question.
Since you’re going to continue to insist on misreading my statements, my only response from this point is: “QUACK”
*sigh*
So why would MLK be a democrat today?
And why would Reagan be considered a liberal?
There’s absolutely NO evidence that MLK was a Registered Republican.
Google Alveda King. She was his niece and basically says that the king familiy (Father and Jr) started to part ways with the Republican party after Senator Kennedy worked for Jr’s release from jail, and Nixon ignored the pleas. (Ironically it was Nixon and the Republicans who voted FOR the Civil Rights Bill, and Kennedy and the Democrats who voted against it).
Texans got intelligent!!!!!
(had *pause* to *pause* say *pause* it!)
So the ONLY cool thing Beck has ever done was buy a DeLorean.
If you’re that shallow, go with that. That’s probably all you’ll glean.
He also had a ponytail.
Don’t forget Clydie Clyde. Never forget Clyde. ‘Least he ain’t a liar.
Clyde? Philo Bedoe’s pet orang otang? Yeah; he was cool.
To the people complaining that there’s no liberal pundits being torn into: it’s pretty simple. This is a site open to the whole world. A large proportion of us do not know who most of your US pundits are. But quite a few of us know who Glen Beck is. He’s appeared in almost every major Canadian newspaper the day after this rally. He appears on our news shows in “Around the World” segments. We know him. This site isn’t just for Americans. Think about it.
I could complain that Stephen Harper isn’t getting picked on enough, or Gordon Campbell. But I won’t because a lot of people don’t know who they are. So just relax.
**looks at top of page, sees Elephant and Donkey logo that is Red white and Blue with Stars** UMMM it may be on the WWW, but it’s definitely an American Site based mostly on American Politics. And why would Canada care about Glen Beck? Let me guess, “We’re scared of what he has in followings.” (But I thought only conservatives used the Fear tactic!!!!)
Actually, Canadian (or UK) media is an interesting way to get a 3rd opinion on US politics. Just saying!
Yes it would, however with what the guy said above needed that type of response. And it wasn’t even a mean one from me.
I didn’t mean to imply your response was mean. Just pointing out the possible resource.
It’s probably fair comment to say that us non-Americans are more likely to know the names of American pundits who say things that we are likely to find one or more of stupid, funny and outrageous, yes? Given that we think that the “left wing” of American politics is moderate right of centre, it’s petty much a given that we’re going to be more wound up by your “right wing” pundits, and therefore…
Not trying to be mean or what not, but why do you care about our Pundits at all? I hear lot’s that American’s need to be more interested in their own people, and stay out of the rest of the world, yet the rest of the world tries to get involved with our Politics. Seems kind of like a contradiciton to me.
Why wouldn’t we care? Pundits influence the opinions of the general populance, and the US economy is big enough to affect the economies of the rest of the World.
Actually the pundits just influence the people who’ll vote their line anyhows. Pundits have very little pull on the independents or moderates who actually decide the election. You may hear a Beck say something that scares you, and hear the parrots repeat it, but the parrots would have voted Repulbican anyhows (you aren’t going to change their vote).
Nobody outside usa know beck
This comparison list that makes MLK look awesome and Beck look like a moron. So the first thing to do is to list all of MLK’s hidden faults that were left off the list. Nobody has any awesome contributions of Becks that might make him look even a little bit better?
Zing!
Umm how about his donations of millions to Wounded Veterans? Oh wait that’s a pi$s poor cause isn’t it.
OK, we have one! Next?
All I needed was one to prove Sammy wrong. Not that I like defending Beck, I dislike even more that people say someone’s never contributed anything good, when they might have.
Giving that poor unfortunate girl who used to work under Jim Bakker a respectable job!
ok we have two things.
Aaaaaand, I’m betting that he wanted to give those Christmas decorations he attempted to steal to poor homeless orphans.
Hey I was asked to come up with one good thing he did, I did that. That’s my point. Let’s not go off and say I’m defending the guy and thinking he’s the next best thing, I’ll leave that to Pulse and Zipperhead, I just had to paly devil’s adovcate there. And I did, with style and Grace (now where’d she go?).
Aw don’t worry, I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic to your response, just playing along and stuff.
Besides, stealing Christmas decorations in public counts as an Awesome-point in my book, so I’ll have to give Beck that.
I actually wasn’t looking for a “zing” or to be proven wrong. @@ I know, dumb forum to ask a question and expect a reasonably debated response.
I don’t know much about Beck besides idiotic rants, but that doesn’t mean he has nothing to contribute to society. If I’m taking this comparison chart as some above have implied, then the creator took all of the best of MLK and paired it with the worst of Beck. I was looking for information to round out the picture. I appreciate that he’s given millions to wounded veterans, but hasn’t he also encouraged wars that caused those veterans to be wounded in the first place?
Like Viking said…that’s one. Any more?
I’m sorry but you can’t compare the two, it’s just wrong to do so, both are very different people, besides Beck’s rally wasn’t supposed to be political in any way, it was supposed to try to unite americans through “the content of their character” that’s the reason Beck made his speech on MLK’s anniversary, he never tried to compare himself, but instead tried to pay homage to the man himself.
Also I think we all had a bit of #41 running through us in past years, anyone who hasn’t is not worth talking to
Hmmyeah, but there is a difference between thinking about killing someone (we all want to secretly choke that annoying co-worker/teacher/boss/parent/etc sometimes) and openly voicing it on television when you have a public role and a crapload of people adoring every word you say.
Besides that, I may not be American so I don’t get every newsflash on political happenings there, but I have heard enough about Beck to question his motives about having a speech right there, right on that particular date. And no, sorry, neither do I believe that his motives were non-political.
Point taken, but Glenn Beck sounds like a much more fun person to hang out with.
Yeah, dead people are so boring. And they never even answer when I ask how they are doing nowadays! Just dead silence. I mean, talk about rude.
actually, Id prefer the silent dead guy to Beck
Or if they be Zombies just the typical moan.
Yeah! Always moaning about everything, so annoying. It’s like they don’t appreciate life at all. Someone should should tell them to brighten up a little.
And change their clothes, they’re always filthy. And maybe some oral hygene. And come on suck up your guts, they don’t need to be draaign across my new carpet.
Some tic-tacs definitely wouldn’t hurt, no. But new clothes – well, I can imagine that they’re not gutsy enough to walk into high-fashion stores. All the staring, it must hurt their feelings, should they have enough brain left to register emotion.
If I took the time out to actual define racist it wouldn’t help, would it? I tried with ‘Socialism’ and no good came of it, yet here I am again, thinking this time… Surely… If they only knew how insulting they were being they would stop. After all, people want to be good. They don’t want to do others harm. This is all based on ignorance, not intent, and once corrected we’ll all hold hands and sing some f*cking kumbaya up in here!
Nah, it’ll never work. But it’s a beautiful dream.
Gerbil, is still in therapy.
Look, Beck isn’t a racist. Beck is a great guy. He is a recovering alcoholic, and he made some stupid mistakes. Who here hasn’t made a stupid mistake when they were young/drunk?
Apparently not MLK. He was too busy going to school and working to end segregation.
As far as we know. And by the way, Beck left dropped out of college after one course because that’s all he could afford.
Then why the hell did he bother with the one course?
Perhaps a better question, why the hell not consider a more moderately priced institution of higher learning?
Very true. I was wondering that part too. You could probably get an entire degree’s worth of education at my first college for the same price as one semester at Yale.
Oh and by the way, The Other 98% is an organization that is supported by, among other groups, MoveOn.org, which recieves donations from George Soros, who is a Socialist.
So why is it not okay for Glenn Beck to ponder killing Michael Moore, but it’s okay for Sarah Spitz to want Rush Limbaugh to have a heart attack? Seems a little bit strange…
I know right? There is a huge double standard here.
Who said that’s okay? Limbaugh is jackass, but I for one don’t want him to die. That’s mean.
This is beating up Beck because he pondered killing someone, but when the same thing happened, not much was said about it. Nobody said it was okay, but nobody said it was wrong. When you say “Limbaugh is jackass” you mean “I disagree with Limbaugh”
Right?
No, I mean Limbaugh is a jackass.
Way too big to be a jackas$. I mean come on a typical donkey weighs about 500 lbs, Limbaugh is at least a ton or a ton and a half. Maybe he’s a Clydesdale?
He’s not a Clydesdale. Those things are pretty cool looking. Rush is not pretty cool looking.
Ok then he’s a mutated jack a$s due to the foul slime coming out of Washington DC (from both sides of the aisle).
That’s a wonderful argument someone. They’re fat. Clever. Anyway, how exactly is Limbaugh a jackass? I’m not the only one who has to present proof on this site, right?
Big clue; there are statutes about homicide, but none about cardiac events, and indeed the right to think whant you want and even say it as long as you do not advocate illegal acts is enshrined in the First.
You missed the point. The point is that it’s not okay for Beck to want someone to die, but it’s okay for Spitz to want someone to die? Sees a little suspicious.
wow! more left wing bull crap.
MLK Jr: has all of his best achievements
Beck: “ponders killing Micheal Moore”, list of pranks he’s done, cutting off his ponytail….. way to try and find his “best” achievements.. you have him hosting ‘morning zoo’ but dont even mention his current show or any of the books he’s written.
wow… another reich wing talking head. Feel free to research and post your own version of events showing what a wonderful person Mr. Beck is.
They forgot to mention Martin Luther King Jr.’s mistresses.
Why has “the race/racist card” been so used lately? Because no one likes to think rationally anymore.
