With regard to your last post Raz-0, I'm going to follow the sage advice of Mark Twain:

 

 

“Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference”

Ad hominem.

 

Raz-o is not alone. I marveled for a long time at the seemingly two completely different people named Glenn Beck. Radio Glenn: eminently reasonable, funny, witty.

 

tv Glenn Beck: Unwatchable loon

 

I tried. I really did. Bill O suffers from a similar ailment. Radio Bill much better than TV Bill.

Yeah, Glenn Beck is a really bad man:

More trucks heading to the Navajo Nation

 

Yesterday on the radio program Glenn discussed one of the 12 communities that the Restoring Love food drive trucks went to, Navajo Nation.

Terra , a member of the Mercury One staff, traveled to New Mexico for the drop off on the reservation and described the poverty she saw as unlike anything she had ever seen. “It was like traveling to another country,” she said.

This is how Terra described her trip out to Navajo Nation:

“There were approximately 500 individuals there waiting to receive food. Pastor Robert gave a blessing. During that time he specifically wanted to thank both your organization, Glenn, and also Mercury One. He said they’ve not seen this kind of outreach before. The local media came out to cover it and they shared with us that the local media does not come out to the reservation unless there is a shooting or a death. He said that in the 12 years that he has been there on the reservation, he has not seen them come out for anything other than a shooting or a death. So, that was pretty moving.”

Glenn explained yesterday that Navajo are a very proud and private people. Terra described that the pastor kept encouraging them on was to ask for help if they need it, reach out to your neighbor.

 

This morning on radio he took a few minutes to give update listeners on the Navajo Nation. Glenn, who had just had another meeting during the break about what happened with the food drop off yesterday, explained that the Navajo Nation is a third world country within our own borders.

 

“These guys are amazing, just amazing,” he said. “They were so grateful.”

 

The Navajo’s had explained to the Mercury One crew that the media never covers them unless there has been a death or something else negative.

 

The stories coming out of the area reminded him a little of Wilmington, a town in Ohio that was ravaged by the recession. Glenn and his team produced a Christmas show in Wilmington in 2010.

 

“We’re going to do something really cool for the Navajo nation. I mean, these, they’re still alive. The Windtalkers’, the guys who were the code that the Nazis couldn’t break, the Japanese couldn’t break? Those guys are still alive. Those guys are powerful, strong Americans, and nobody pays attention to them,” Glenn said.

 

While one food truck has already made a delivery to the area, Glenn announced on radio that Mercury One was sending their second food truck out there now.

 

“We just didn’t know how bad things were,” Glenn explained.

Despite the hardships in the area, the Mercury One team reported that there was an incredibly positive and uplifting attitude among the members of the community.

 

Terra explained, “I don’t think that I ever realized just how independent that - and proud, like (Glenn) said, the Navajos, especially, are. That was one of the things that the pastor kept encouraging them on was if you need help, ask for it, reach out to your neighbor because they’re very private people, also.”

Yeah. Radio Glenn.

 

TV Glenn would have beat his head on a chalkboard, cried a little and then shown black and white broll of Nazis.

I remember when Glenn was back on HLN as a reporter/commentator and he wasn't nearly as bad as he is on FOX News now. He was actually one of my favorite people in news at the time. Since he's joined FOX News, though, he has become a living embodiment of Godwin's Law, ad hominems, and misleading vividness.

Bill O suffers from a similar ailment. Radio Bill much better than TV Bill.

 

My favorite is when Bill O starts losing a debate so he just begins yelling and screaming over the other person while they're trying to talk. I've seen people with better composure on Jerry Springer LOL

I rarely get involved in political threads since they are endless, but I will say Ted Nugent seems to be a pretty cool guy in terms of his hobbies and his gun stance. I cannot stand Glenn Beck, but that goes for a lot of what's on FOX.

I can't stand when reporters or anchors interrupt the person being interviewed, it's very unprofessional. O'Reilly loves to do that, Hannity (great example is his interview with Krs-One), and I was also upset to see Piers Morgan about a week ago interview an NRA higher-up? about gun laws and the Aurora shooting incident. Piers continued cutting him off, wouldn't let him answer his own questions, and the whole interview was just a flop. I've watched interviews with Piers in the past, and even though I am not a huge fan of him, he does do good interviews most of the time. But when he disagrees or does not like someone in his interview, it tends to go sour.

I bet if you were having a normal kitchen table with Ted Nugent hed come across as incredibly insightful and intelligent. You put a camera in the same room and he feels the need to schtick it up.

 

There is definitely worse people who would be the "poster child" of gun rights, but I believe there is certainly better as well.

 

As for the talking heads in radio or tv, I try my best to avoid them at all costs. The only thing any of them are worried about is ratings. Conservative, liberal...Makes no difference.

 

I don't know if anyone listens to satellite radio but Anthony Cumia (from Opie and Anthony) is an avid gun owner and mad several reat points on the show about the pro-gun movement in the wake of the Colorado shooting. (Btw I'm definitely not suggesting he be a poster child by any means)

I like Glenn Beck, but I love Mark Levin and Michael Savage.

Ad hominem.
