They lack the effectiveness of the MSM because we conservatives expect perfection from our own media. Unlike us, the MSM audience does not have impossible expectations from their news sources. Our greatest strength, the pursuit of excellence, is also our biggest weakness. This stubborn pursuit of excellence-at-all-costs is what prevented conservatives from coalescing behind one conservative candidate during the primaries last year. It ain't rocket science.
To everyone:
Consider this: Glen Beck's multiple sources are either real or a figment of his imagination. If the latter, then he needs to be strung up from a rope (figuratively, at least).
If his sources are real, they're either Black Hats or White Hats. If Black Hats, it's not like we would ever be able to get obama impeached by ourselves ANYWAY. The worst outcome would be that the Black Hats would, 1) get a good laugh at our gullibility, and 2) continue transforming us into the USSR. The Marxist takeover (#2) is happening EITHER WAY, whether or NOT we allow ourselves to be manipulated by Black Hats giving Beck bad intel.
HOWEVER, what if Beck's sources are White Hats who are genuinely trying to save the country from a caliphate? What if they are risking their careers and maybe their lives by leaking all the information, only to be laughed at because conservatives are so consumed with their hate and derision? What if Beck is one of the few media messengers who can speak out and isn't owned by the Saudis?
Personally, Beck gets on my last nerve with his theatrics. I haven't listened to him in years because of that.
The simple fact remains: If Beck is dealing with White-Hats, will conservatives be able to set aside our anti-Mormon/anti-Moneygrubbers/anti-Whatever attitudes long enough to stop the infighting, put aside our petty differences, and rally together to save our country from another Revolutionary War? Are we going to stifle our stubbornness and take the chance these are White Hats trying desperately to save us from ourselves?
Well?
I’m probably preaching to the choir here. That really should have been posted on that KILL GLEN BECK! thread.
I’m rereading my “rocket science” comment and it sounds like i was being derogatory toward you. I didn’t mean it that way. :/
White hats ... the copies of papers only someone on the inside could access is evidence enough that what is getting, or was getting to GB is from a white hate and Holder will no doubt weed such an one out from his criminal enterprise unJustice network.
HEAR!! 100% spot on. So much of what gets posted here is just venting - not only at the left but at the less than perfect on the right. The building is on fire. I am in support of all who are trying to get water on it.
bttt
So very well said NN - what is it with our side that drives us to beat each other over the head and leave the enemy on the side lines laughing at the antics? It’s not helpful in any way.
I do not think we expect perfection. But when thousands of regular people on sites like this ask the most basic 5W questions daily (who what when where why) and the conservative media skimps on or glosses over them at best, they can do better.
Can anyone explain why they are not asking the questions we ask? And they are professionals?
Sure some do. but then things just go poof and no one rides the horse to the finish line.
