So apparently, this blog- The Blaze, is some right-wing website that was bashing the one nation working together. It gets better though, Beck engages in his usual logical fallacies.. the, association fallacy, if you will. He brings in the usual people he hates..SEIU, Green Peace, Democratic Socialists... whatever thats fine. He identifies them as "far-left organizations". Ok sure Beck I'll pretend I have a double-digit IQ and fail to acknowledge organizational differences and ideological demarcations between left, far-left, centrist etc. So what more are you going to talk about?

This video is one of the most annoying videos ever. There is literally a part where he mentions some group that "wants to remove for-profit, private corporations, and in place wants to place cooperative and multi-encompassing groups" and Beck just sits there and goes.. yea, yea, aha yea. He HAS NO LOGICAL ARGUMENTS for anything. He is a demagogue of the highest sorts.

I would love, I would pay, I would DIE OF ENJOYMENT, if someone managed to get a public debate with him with a moderator and such. Like a Chomsky or a Krugman or just anyone who somewhat represents the Left and expose why Beck is a clown....

Bleh. /rant

actually, beck himself launched "the blaze" along with things like "insider extreme" "beck university" "40 day and 40 night challenge" and im sure hes instrumental in creating a new "black robe brigade" also, hes now saying the US is going through a "third awakening" so yeah... ill throw in more "quotation marks" for the "hell of it"

Krugman is not a leftist. He is a neo-Keynesian Democratic shrill.

Their already was a third religious and some scholars consider the growth of conservative denominations during the 60s a fourth religious awakening. Mr. American History buff Glenn knows shit about his beloved homeland. But then again since the third great awakening had progressives in it Glenn probaly can't comprehend it.

News at 11.

Seriously though, Krugman is obviously not "one of us" but his columns are basically essential reading.

How is Putin a democratic socialist? :confused: Modern Russia is a perfect example of the failure of capitalism.
