You have a point though, the right never says anything about being open minded, accepting and tolerant.lowing wrote:

Funny how the left is always bitching about not being open minded, and accepting and tolerant. As it turns out what they mean is, open minded accepting and tolerant of THEIR opinion only. Funny how this forum mirrors real life. lol
Not sure how he is supposed to ignore people assaulting his family, but whatever.Dilbert_X wrote:
And all Beck has to do is ignore the people whose opinion he doesn't want to hear.
So whats he griping about, or is he just trying to land his next pay-cheque?
Nope, they lean toward personal responsibility and NOT accepting blame for shit someone else did.Dilbert_X wrote:

Your opinions on his opinions are just that, opinions, that said, he has an opportunity to "spew his rhetoric" because people want to hear what he has to say obviously. If you do not want to hear it, it is very easy to tune him out, literally. There is no reason to understand the violence and to try to reason it in a country where you are free to express your opinions.Ty wrote:
Glen Beck isn't just an annoyance for left wingers. Many right wingers despise him just as much for his overdramatic alarmist rhetoric, his twisting of the truth, his intolerance, his ignorance and his outright stupidity. Beck is offensive to logic, never mind his particular political viewpoints, the man's an ass. He's a shock-jock that a concerning amount of people have taken as genuine.
Beck has the opportunity to relentlessly spew his arguments and rhetoric, he makes false and derogatory claims against those who don't agree with him without giving them the chance to respond. I don't support him and especially his family getting abuse but I can understand why people are angry. Keep poking a caged animal and it's going to be pretty pissed off at you when the bars are finally removed.
and people will watch I am sure. You gunna blame Beck for that?Nic wrote:

Look at how Andrew Breitbart was treated by the left at a blogging convention.lowing wrote:
Ahhhh, we are back to "the few" and "you're generalizing", arguments. Gotta admit, I didn't see those coming.Nic wrote:
In other news. Beck beong melodramatic about a few people yelling at him gives lowing another chance to apply what a few people did to half the population of the states. Troll moar.
Now, how about addressing the OP that the preachers of tolerance and love and open mindedness, are willing to attack those that they perceive as having a different opinion?
Mate - I live in New Zealand. I have never even been to the US. Yet even I can't completely ignore Glen Beck. Beck isn't just a guy expressing his opinion, he is a public figure. He is given coverage by television, radio and of course the Internet - and not just his own shows. It isn't as easy as you say to tune him out. Also, and more importantly, while Beck is free to express his opinions that doesn't mean he's free from ever having to answer for them.lowing wrote:

I think that he's blurred the line between entertainment and news to the point where his average follower tend to put 100% faith into the things he says and claims.Uzique wrote:
