There's no "there" there.
’ll say this: I’ve never seen the so called ‘Civil Rights Movment’ ever put back on its heels like Glen Beck just did. Beck simultaneously gave them a big fat target but, there was nothing to attack. It’s like he’s created this huge untouchable and unmovable object that has the creates lots of energy but, has the mass of shaving cream. It can’t be attacked becuase there’s no ‘there’, there.


Sometimes Free Republic is funnier than lolcats.

5. Beck rarely says anything specific enough to warrant a debunking.
I think he mostly just talks, and he learned long ago that it doesn't have to be coherent to riveting or moving--to his target audience.
