Do the FOX producers just let Beck sound plain STUPID?

[napi21]

I can understand the lies & distortions to advance teir adjenda, but looking for a video tape when NONE EXISTED, in a time when they weren't permitted in the Senatejust makes him look & sound like the vilage IDIOT!

[NHLrocks]

1. huh?

[napi21]

3. Sorry, I made a bad assumption that everyone was watching Keith Olberman.

One of his owrst persons today was Glen Beck who went off on his current tirade about Senator Byrd having fillabustered the equal rights ammendment, and Beck was screaming that he & his entire staff have been searching for a video tape of that fillabuster. "So far we can't FIND ANY! How can this be that this man had died & we don't have a video tape of one of the most notable things he did?"

Obviously, when Byrd fillabustered, there were no cameras permitted in the Senat!

7. He and his stuff are so stupid

Keith did a simple google search and found it.

2. Context?

For those of us who, you know, don't watch Fox News?

[napi21]

4. Oh, I don't watch Fox either. It was on Keith Olberman's show tonight.

Please see my exp. in post #3.

5. Someone needs to attract the village idiot demographic.

Who better than Bleccchhh?

[Ozymanithrax]

6. You hit the nail...Fox knows that there are people who will never question Beck...

So no matter how wild and insan he sounds, they let him continue.

[SunnySong]

8. Do they have a choice... I don't think Beck does smart any more than he does sane. nt

9. Byrd DID vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964

But it was hardly a "filibuster". Did Beck SAY "filibuster"?

And no, there wasn't videotape of Senate proceedings in 1964. Any idiot would know that, but Beck is not your ordinary idiot.

[napi21]

11. Yep he said fillabuster! Here's a link.

It's in the worst person in the world segment almost at the end of the sidebar listing.

[Catshrink]

12. He asked why "they" weren't showing or releasing a videotape of

Byrd's filibuster. Cameras weren't allowed until 1974.

[iris27]

14. Wait...CIVIL rights amendment or EQUAL rights amendment?

People are saying both and confusing me here.

[napi21]

15. Civil Rights. If I typed equal rights, I was wrong. nt

[Canuckistanian]

20. Unbelievable

What more is there to say?

[SnakeEyes]

21. No, there was a filibuster

And Byrd did his part, speaking for a little over 14 hours

[MrSlayer]

10. They don't care as long as he brings the ratings.

And apparently he is doing that. Why should they give a damn what he says?

[Catshrink]

13. They let him open his mouth, don't they?

It's inevitable.

[scrubthedata]

16. There's a quote from him that basically said that he's in the entertainment business, not the

News business. I think that's telling. He knows it and FOX knows it. It's just unfortunate that viewers don't.

[spanone]

17. i'm beginning to think that the entire network is based on sarcasm

[Maccagirl]

18. Cynicism is the hallmark of Fox

Faux actually knows and understands their demographic. They're laughing their ass off at their viewship.

22. Mini Rush

is just like him. BecKKK will do or say anything he believes will produce ratings. Thing is it appears even the wing nuts are growing bored with him.

23. Fauxworld is a parallel universe.

No one questions the man behind the curtain. Whatever he says goes.
