Glenn Beck rails against ‘progressive’ washing machines at Lowe’s

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/10/04/glenn-becks-trip-to-lowes-reveals-massive-progressive-conspiracy/

Glenn Beck’s attack on all forms of what he deems “progressivism” expanded to the home-improvement front today, as he criticized General Electric’s new “progressive” dishwasher. (Raw Story couldn’t find any information about this new GE dishwasher, but a lack of evidence isn’t proof that it doesn’t exist.) According to Beck, the new GE dishwasher is just the latest in a long line of attempts to “embed” the word “progressive” into daily discourse.

Glenn-
Go home & look in your medicine cabinet. If you find pills that look like any of the following in a bottle that says Risperdal on it, take 2 immediately.

And while they are not labeled or described as "progressive," they do advertise them as energy-saving and ADA compliant. So, I suppose the fact that they use less electricity and water and are easy for people with disabilities to use makes them progressive and therefore evil. Decent American dishwashers should devour electricity, suck water down the drain and be nearly impossible for the elderly or disabled to open or operate. Damned liberal appliances!

They even have dirt detectors.
Something every Progressive should have.

I don't think I would like a conservative vacuum. Who wants all the dirt left in the carpet or floating around?

I like the fact the Progressive vacuum is a working appliance. It doesn't discriminate between curtains and flooring and it has some extensions so I can suck up the occasional wasp or spider without touching it.

No, my Progressive vacuum cleaners have always worked well. They also don't demand that I wear heels to operate properly or hold out on working just because I want to use it to clean out the car.
