I'm not setting myself up as superior to others like he is.
Big difference. If you buy into the notion that he can "educate" you then you admit inferiority to him.
” I would not say he has educated them. Folks will tell you
that Limbaugh does NOT tell them what to think, but rather
gives a voice to what they believe. He basically plays to
his audience, telling them what they want to hear.
I would not characterize that as “education”.”
Well, of course he doesn’t tell people what to think.
Can you name another media outlet that unpacks daily and world news in an way that is not compromised by the liberal media other than talk radio?
Free Republic maybe?
My objection is to Beck's assumption that he is so
superior to you and me as to be qualified to educate us.
A seminar on talk show hosting? Possibly.
Anything else? He can bite me. He does not know me.
How dare he presume to know more about anything than folks he does not know?
“Free Republic maybe?”
Do you get educated here? If so, how is it any different than talk radio?
“My objection is to Beck’s assumption that he is so
superior to you and me as to be qualified to educate us.”
I’d venture to guess that you are more educated in certain areas than Beck is...do you think that Beck is more educated than you in certain things?
I'm sure he is.
I just find a blanket statement that he finds himself qualified
to educate anyone and everyone to be incredibly arrogant.
Do you get educated here? If so, how is it any different than talk radio?
Absolutely I do.
The difference is that there is no one person claiming
to be the be-all end-all repository of wisdom here.
It's the arrogance I object to, not the content.
He’s done hero’s work these last months against Obama, but I think people are right to be nervous about him. I think his moment will be over by the 2010 elections—if not before.
“I just find a blanket statement that he finds himself qualified to educate anyone and everyone to be incredibly arrogant.”
With all do respect, he never said that. He also never claimed to be the end-all repository of wisdom.
Beck is fortunate that he doesn’t know you, but we at FR are getting rather familiar with your always negative, nasty littleman ways. Your inferiority complex is shining through daily. It is rather amusing to see someone like you, so backward yet so smugly clueless.
The inferior peashooter cannot differentiate such clear exposition. It escapes littlepeashooter that the very fact Beck has an army of watchdogs sending to him material for development means he is not holding himself up as superior to anyone, Beck is just very tuned in to the current democrat plan to fundamentally transform America.
He must consider himself qualified to have stated the following:
Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning
So he sees himself as having the knowledge and the unwashed masses to be in need of it.
It's insulting. And inaccurate as an across the board statement.
He's a non smoker and a non drinker. You're absolutely right.
we at FR are getting rather familiar with your always negative, nasty littleman ways.
It took you nearly nine years? Not too quick on the up-take are you?
It is rather amusing to see someone like you, so backward yet so smugly clueless.
That's tagline material right there!
...sigh...well I guess we’ll never see eye-to-eye on this subject.
Cheers anyway.
Appreciate the support but name-calling isn’t necessary, FRiend....
Have a good day and a great Thanksgiving.
I’ve learned that people that refer to themselves as humble are the most arrogant of all.
The Obama Administration is going to see this as being very DANGEROUS. (to them, of course).
Either get with the program, or get out of the way. If you sit there doing nothing, undercut us, or otherwise throw your lot in with the enemy, you are going to get run over by one huge American Grassroots steamroller. It is going to make the middle class, anti-establishment uprisings of George Wallace (11 states in 1968), and Ross Perot (19% of the popular vote), even the Civil Rights Movement in the South, like quaint picnics in the park.
The American People are about ready to roar to life, when when they do, there is going to be holy hell to pay.
It could almost be similar to the Invisible College that eventually morphed into the Royal Society in Britain. May it all turn out well.
