Glenn Beck claims time and time again that he was against the bailout. The problem is Glenn seems to not understand that when the red light is on the camera is recording. Here’s Beck, a year ago, saying how much we needed the bailout in his view. Frankly Beck seems more pro-bailout than the left was.
This is who they are. Wingnut welfare to execs from bankers to Erik Prince is fine. SCHIP or any program that helps somebody from outside their gated community is bad
Oh, are we distributing standards again?
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you.
This is truly amazing! But yet it’s Obama responsible for ruining this country with runaway spending? Dubya raised the most revenue with his tax cuts, and where are we now? Runaway spending my ass!
…and he would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling libs and your blogs.
So this is why Beck had that hysterical screaming fit at the caller who said he supported the bailouts.
I don’t see any hypocrisy here, he supported infinite money to be dispersed by the good and excellent George W Bush. He is against any federal money being taken away from the American people and dispensed by the evil, muslim, socialist, marxist, maoist, king Barack Hussein Obama. Beck’s policy rotates with whomever is in the oval office (which is true for all of us, to a degree, but most of us don’t have the mental flexibility to contort to such an extreme).
Is it possible to pimp slap yourself with your own words? Apparently yes.
“In the age of the leak and the blog, of evidence extraction and link discovery, truths will either out or be outed, later if not sooner. This is something I would bring to the attention of every diplomat, politician and corporate leader: the future, eventually, will find you out. The future, wielding unimaginable tools of transparency, will have its way with you. In the end, you will be seen to have done that which you did.”

A large majority of personalities from the GOP, er um, I mean, FOX News channel, seem to have forgotten that past shows can be accessed at any time. Glenn Beck recently has stated we have the best health care system in the world, and have no need for reform. Yet, when he had his own surgery a few years ago, he was recorded as saying our health care system is in need of sweeping changes, and that they don’t care about the common man.
The Daily Show is one of the best at using old footage of FOX News pundits and comparing it to what they are saying now that a Democrat is in the White House. One of the funniest had to be, “Fox News, the new liberals.” It is almost laughable when Hannity, O’Reilly, etc. were calling those who protested Bush over the war as “loons”, yet the current protestors are just “honest, hard working, Americans.” If FOX news wants to be a mouthpiece for the right, that is fine, but don’t give me this “Fair and Balanced, or We Report, You Decide”, mantra.
