And honestly, I believe Glen would not have a problem with that one bit.
Glen’s a big boy and can handle conservatives telling him he’s wrong about this.
If it was any other issue, and Glen was wrong about it, wouldn’t he want to at least hear the reasoning of that side? What if (gasp) Glen WAS WRONG, he’d come right out and say so if he believed he was wrong! That’s the worst thing that could happen! Glen’s said he was wrong about things before. It hasn’t destroyed him. It probably made a lot of people stick with him because the guy sincerely listens when others say “You’re wrong” and will come out and say he’s wrong when he believes he’s wrong.
If people who have wrong ideas never have anyone else tell them “I disagree with you, I think you’re wrong”, how will they ever learn to defend their ideas and how will they ever look at their own wrong views and come to the correct conclusions?
Glenn spent half of an important show promoting a demonstrably false premise, to support the differences between manifest destiny and divine providence, setting the stage for the following discussions on racism. Why was Glenn taken in so badly that he promoted such error?
The credibility of Glenn Beck is most of what Glenn Beck has as his sword and shield. It pains me to see him spend so much time teaching a gross error that his religious affiliation floats as proof of their false assertions. That isn't going to be unnoticed by the marxist goons he and we oppose. And it does give the enemy too much ammo when he bases his assertions upon false history.
Sadly, Mormons are so sensitive about their religion being opposed when they claim to be THE most accurate Christians, it makes rational discussion on the errors Glenn needs to correct just melt into the background and go unaddressed. I mean, when Mormon posters sling the spittle of 'you just hate Mormons so much' as if this little 'talisman/mantra' will settle the issue and grant them absolution from truth, what future has a rational discussion? None, really.
I prya often for Glenn Beck's safety, and the dsafety of his family and his staff and their families. He is up against evil, real, identifiable evil! And I am standing with him against that evil. But if I am to stand with him, he has got to have better antennae for that which is false, even if it is sourced from his religion's leaders as if historical fact.
Trust begets credibility, begts trust, begets courage ... if Glenn has no better discernment than he showed with the 8/18 errors, then I cannot continue to stand with him because I will not trust his judgment. THAt is a serious problem, and it isn't getting addressed on this thread when Mormons spittle their ahte speech mantra. Kind of like the race card used to avoid addressing racial problems.
