Glenn Beck: Michelle Obama gave ´most effective political speech´ since Reagan

First lady Michelle Obama´s speech this week slamming Donald Trump´s comments about women was "the most effective political speech since Ronald Reagan," according to right-wing commentator Glenn Beck. On his TV program Friday, Beck said his viewers should watch Obama´s speech to see its "devastating effects. And I don´t mean on Donald Trump. I mean on the conservative movement." "We had been talking about, ´there is no war on women.´ You just handed them a war on women," Beck said. "And if you listen to her words carefully, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, they are coopting women and it will work."

I stopped listening when Rush married and all he could talk about was his wife. Hubby won’t turn on the news except for the weather. He doesn’t want to hear it or me. He heard enough as a asst. Prof. and as 20 yr career Navy of PC crap.
He says GO TRUMP!

The moron (GB) went over the edge...I knew he was just a CINO (Conservative In Name Only). He media empire will be gone in 6 months...

[The Sons of Liberty]

The crime family suppressed the scandal, with the help of the media of course, so it didn’t get the attention it should have. When it came to light most were already overloaded with clinton scandal fatigue.

What speech? This nut thinks people watch her?

“Glenn Beck invades the Trump Death Star and draws his almost-light saber.”

Beck belongs in a rest home, where they can have him a cut out paper tigers all day long : )

[Leep]

Yep.
I occassionally listen to Savage and Hannity.
Oh, and Redeye Radio if i wake up in the middle of the night.

Hey DoughtyOne, couldn't resist looking at your code :- )

Have you automated this, because it's pretty clever and complex.

...Beck belongs in a rest home, where they can have him a cut out paper tigers all day long ...

Unfortunately, this would not be a "safe space" for Beck because plastic scissors are dangerous in the hands of stabby fruitcakes : )

Beck is suffering from MILO envy.  MILO Yiannopolous will host a Late Night show on the new Breitbart TV network that will form after the election.  Hannity will defect from Fox.  And the new media empire will be built on the ashes of the former Blaze, and will give FOX a run for the money!  You heard it hear first.

[DoughtyOne]

No, I didn’t automate it.

I write out some of my stuff, but not this.

There’s a product out there called Kompozer. I highly recommend it.

It allows you to using it like a text editor.

When you like what you see, you select view, HTML,...

Highlight the HTML, copy, and paste into F.R.

Review first, because once in a while it will tweak something. Go back and change it if necessary.

I do some HTML text but this is a bit too much fuss.

[DoughtyOne]

Komposer Freeware...

http://kompozer.net

Setting it up may require a few steps, but once it’s done, it will be very useful.

It’s the old Netscape on board word/HTML processor. Works just like it.

Hey DoughtyOne,

I started playing with the free software KompoZer and -- right out the box -- it seems very attractive.  Thanks for this recommendation.

I have been using MS Expression Web 4.0 which is free, but it's design is cumbersome.  Kompozer seems far more intuitive -- the feel of a plain text editor, but the strength of a full HTML editor.

And Komposer has a feature I suspect a lot of newer HTML editing software don't: an ability to create code in Free Republic-friendly HTML element coding as opposed to CSS code.

Before I first started posting on FR last year, I had not really worked with HTML element code because it's older and deprecated.  Think of deprecated as the globalist way of killing HTML element coding because they consider it ugly and non-standard.  Fact is, so many web page still use HTML element styling that browser-makers are simply forced to keep supporting it.

My guess is that FR uses HTML element styling because there are less security issues and it's easier for the FR posting wizard to translate.  Here's the difference at the coding level:

Sample Text

+

To render the text above, a modern HTML editor will create the following inline CSS styling code:

<big style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">Sample Text</big>

But unfortunately while this CSS code works in all browsers, it is not used by FR. Instead, the simpler-to-translate HTML element styling is used and is coded like this:

<font color="red"><big><b>Sample Text</b></big></font>

Bottom line: if you're doing anything fancy in your FR posts and comments -- tables, images, sizes, fonts, colors, etc. -- KompoZer will save you some time in reduced manual coding.

One other important thing I noticed: you have to tell KompoZer that you want to compose a page in Free Republic format.   You do that by unchecking a setting on the Tools:Options page. See the image below:

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the comments about Komposer. I’ve been using it for a number of years. I always enjoyed it when it was a part of Netscape, and I searched to find the composer when Netscape was retired. (Great browser, wish they hadn’t retired it)

I appreciate the pointers too. I don’t remember doing what you have outlined there, but it seems to work just fine for me.

[poconopundit]

Thanks, Doughty...

As you know, newer software is often not better software.

I use an old database technology, MS Visual Foxpro (VFP), to power my websites.

VFP is one of the finest object-oriented software apps ever produced -- and it allows you to create desktop applications with zero license fees to Microsoft. VFP even has a web version, ActiveVFP, that runs on ASP technology.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft has stopped supporting VFP, yet VFP still has a very active international community of developers helping each other to keep the product alive.

So holding onto solid programs like KompoZer and VFP is a smart way to take advantage of software advances without paying a big cost penalty.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for those additional comments. I agree with your take on things. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I’m going to bookmark this post for future reference.

Take care.

[DoughtyOne]

I do recognize that people are tweaking the VFP to keep it operating smoothly and perhaps give it new perks, but I wasn’t addressing those types of changes with my comments.

IMO Netscape was a great product and when it was sold to AOL, I knew it was in trouble. (Sounds like VFP had something akin to the same fate, not to AOL but you know what I mean.)

I am a big fan of businesses, but when one buys a great product and then withdraws it from the market, it makes my blood boil.

That’s kind of a business assassination to my way of thinking, and it’s very destructive.

Thanks again.

[poconopundit]

Good deal. Later on, after I get familiar with the product, I’d like to write a vanity perhaps on how useful this can be to FReepers.

I’m particularly interested in having a few templates created for the product that make submitting posts or comments easier.

Not sure if you’re doing any of that. But I think a lot of folks would be interested in how you use the product successfully.

The Beck Train wreck is sad. I prefer to look away.

[DoughtyOne]

If you’ve seen my FReepathon posts with the pencil in them, or the Free Republic Caucus from earlier this year, you’ve seen how a framework can be created with partial content revision, before reposting.

You can set up a framework for personalization and keep it across multiple posts.

The imagination is the limiting factor for the most part.

[poconopundit]

Great, I’ll take a look at those examples.

When I create a complex post, I drop the HTML snippet I want (blank images and HTML tables) into a text editor. I then create an HTML file from that.

I then upload all the images I want to use to an on-line site and then create an HTML file on the desktop directly linking to those image so the desktop HTML looks almost exactly like it would appear on-line.

I think many will like the KompoZer software because it organizes the content and creates the HTML element styling that FR requires. That’s a big help.

For the longer pieces, though, manual coding is just as convenient for me because I’m familiar with HTML structures.

Finally I just copy the body of the HTML file into FR’s posting wizard.

Another advantage of doing everything using a desktop file is you’ve got a copy of the source code.

[DoughtyOne]

Are you aware you can insert photos/graphics in the Komposer and it will wrap right or left?

It may take care of a lot of this for you.
