Glenn Beck is such a fucking manipulative ass
He's arguing right now:

--400,000 Iraqis NOT killed by Americans.

Rebut: THE AMERICAN LED WAR STARTED IT.

--Dow Jones broke records!

Rebut: If you include inflation, Dow Jones is still 20% below its record.

And he's still going....

These manipulative conservative gasbags like Beck and O'Liely really piss me off. :grr:

1. It's all they do...
engineer a perspective suitable for short tterm purposes. Then when you talk to a right winger, they have a whole set of facts foreign to ant real debate.... so foreign you never get to have a real debate. Instead you get anger and confusion.

"They're trying to bring the messiah back." He needs to shut up. He keeps making predictions, but the opposite keeps happening. He's such a tool.
Oh and he thinks Joe LIEberman gets it. :eyes: He thinks there are no dems who get National Security. I think we get it more than they do. They want to take our rights away to stay safe. We want to preserve them while at the same time being rational to keep us safe. And Bush is just as bad. He's so black and white. Either we do things his way or we're doing nothing. Fuckers. That's all I can say about them.

5. Exactly why he's not on against Keith Olbermann...
He'd shred Glen in the ratings.

7. i'd also like what his ratings are for his radio show. How wrong is it
that these asshats not only get a radio show but also a tv show? Cnn should stick with their corporate bias and fire his ass.

9. He is some Time Warner VP's pet project
He will be around as long as the VP is around. He won't pull something like Michael Weiner (Savage) did.

From back in the day i do know a little about science and #s.

1. Author's Bio

Dr. Gilbert M. Burnham is the co-director of the Center for Refugee and Disaster Response at Johns Hopkins. He has extensive experience in emergency preparedness and response, particularly in humanitarian needs assessment, program planning, and evaluation that address the needs of vulnerable populations, and the development and implementation of training programs. He also has extensive experience in the development and evaluation of community-based health program planning and implementation, health information system development, management and analysis, and health system analysis. He has worked with numerous humanitarian and health development programs for multilateral and non-governmental organizations, regional health departments, ministries of health (national and district level), and communities in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. A major current activity is the reconstruction of health services in Afghanistan.

2. John's Hopkins is a world class institution.

3. Lancet is a Professional Publication ... ALL PAPERS ARE PEER REVIEWED PRIOR TO
PUBLICATION.

4. It was a study was funded by M.I.T. They don't fund crap. (most of the time)
They have thousands of people are groups looking for them to fund different research
I am sure that this was well vetted before starting.

5. Statistical analysis and proper sampling are very powerful tools.
And very accurate .

Beck is just a shill who wouldn't know a chi square test from a double blind study.
