Glenn Beck Offers 150k For Rev. Wright 'Obama' Box

It would be hilarious if there was a copy of Obama's Birth Certificate in it. And Beck just paid $150k to prove the birthers wrong.

Even better, opening it could be like Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault.

Much as I despise him... I'm not convinced he's an idiot, nor am I convinced he completely believes what he's saying.

I think he found a niche in the American media market... where he plays to complete idiots and he's made millions doing so.

His ardent followers are too idiotic to realise the contradiction of a guy who makes millions off making sure they stay afraid of communism :lamo

Even so, if the only way he can make a living for himself and his family by catering to idiots rather than get some kind of academic or technical education in order to produce or provide for society still makes him an idiot.

Nobody's talked about Beck in a while. He must finally be figuring out the Limbaugh calculation -- you've got to say something crazy once in awhile or everyone will forget who you are.

I have a cigar box. I am a supporter of President Obama. I worked on his campaign in 2008. I currently work in the political and governmental system. It contains several things. It could possibly link to Obama.

all that is 100% true.

Bids anyone?

Is that cigar box a souvenir from the Clinton-Lewinsky days?

Now you are trying to gain inside information. I will tell you that the cigar box does indeed hold materials directly connected with Barack Obama. If I told you that the box contains materials of an embarrassing personal nature that could be very harmful if revealed, that would also be considered true in the estimation of some.

Any bids?

The old 'accuse your opponents of the thing your side is guilty of' ruse. Hardly ever works.
 
i have a hard time understanding why he's so stuck on this box. What makes him think theres anything in there that matters at all? Has there been any evidence besides Beck's crazy mind that sees conspiracies everywhere that the box means or has anything in it? Beck's such a moron. I'd love to see him buy the box and open it and have it filled with, hmm I dunno, a bunch of left over church schedules and things like that. He could be like Rivera when he thought he was gonna find a bunch of gold and found nothing. Let Beck waste his money!!

He may not be an idiot, but he suffers a serious emotional illness/personality disorder, for sure

It's like the briefcase of Marcellus Wallace, you'll never know, because it's just an empty plot device.

Glenn Beck is an idiot, and I can't believe that people still pay attention to him.

Lots of them....I know a slew of 'em down in Mississippi, and a good handful in Duncan, OK, and even here... my own POS Birth father (a republican) is a racist (I gather he never got over my mom leaving him for a black man) In politics it would be prominent Republicans yammering about blacks being on food stamps (when in fact more whites are...Mr Gingrich should have said he would ask WHITES if they'd rather have a paycheck than food stamps)...blacks and affirmative action.."blacks blacks blacks".

Eric Cantor, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich..

And NOWHERE did I say "ALL" of them. Are you saying there are NO republican racists? Sounds like you may be...otherwise, why reply

Rather than waste your time needlessly being insulting to another, perhaps you should refine your own writing/thinking. Don't blame me because you wrote a universal proposition and don't understand that without a qualifier such as "many" or "some," your reader is justified in reading "All." You wrote, "Republicans wear it [racism] like a badge of honor." Without qualification, this means, "All Republicans wear racism like a badge of honor."
 
nota-
This is an OUTstanding example of someone, you, ASSuming something.

I was taught long ago what ASSuming does. But my education wasn't as refined as most folks.

I know Republicans who wear their bigotry as a badge of honor. I say bigotry because racism doesn't begin to cover it!

You want to do some more ASSuming?

Swing for the fences Sparky.... ;)

LMFAO. No that's how one would interpret my statement if they're looking to play victim.

Sorry, Flippin', this is how I read it. No all Republicans wear racism like a badge of honour. Painting groups with a broad brush won't get you far in debate.

Yes, that's how YOU read it...not how I stated it. The flaw is in your reading, not my writing.

When conservatives here say "democrats are racist" I dont interpret it as "all" because I already know "all" aren't. I cant believe grown adults need this kind of thing broken down for them.

I can't believe you don't know the basic rules of logical debate. I've explained it, but you can always Google "universal vs. particular propositions" for yourself.

Don't blame me; blame Aristotle. :lol:
