Glenn Beck attacks cash for clunkers |
|
And FAUX noise has been attacking it all morning. I hope the car dealerships see this. They'll kill Beck!

1. I put cash for clunkers in the youtube search engine and hit today.. |
|
And there's tons of videos about it. It's a combination of car dealers advertising and GUESS WHAT? http://www.youtube.com/results?uploaded=d&search_query=cash+for+clunkers&search_type=videosRW conspiracy theories are starting already. What hateful people. Trying to drive the dealers out of business. They're starting this already because they're going to try and stop the extra two billion in the senate. I think this will blow up in their faces and maybe even get them ripped off.

Anyone who listens to this guy is a fucking moron. But then again, half the people you meet every day have an IQ below 100, so there you have it.

It's their culture and their education, their entire family is hardcore (translate: irrational) Republican.

8. 2:12 was all I could manage |

The guy has been an idiot since CNN put him on headline news, the only channel availalbe for cheap basic cable. He reminds me of Palin, as he says a group of words, and I immediately respond by saying "What?" "What's he talkin' about?" Nonsensical would be the word, if it is a word. We wonder why people are confused, when people like this go on air. It's interesting that he's dissing the only program that actually directly helps humans, instead of being massive giveaways to corporations. Hell, we'd have probably been better off channeling a lot more of the money through the consumers, allowing them to buy Chevy's and Chryslers, and Fords. The only problem with the law is not making folks choose Americans, but cars are assembled in so many places now. Many of the Japanese and German and Korean cars at least have some assembly done here, so....that globalization cat is out of the bag.

What an idea. Find an insane asylum, dress it up to look like a news organization and name it after a small carnivore. Amazingly, enough people believe it's actually a news organization to justify keeping it in operation.

10. Politics aside, I just hate how acting mentally retarded has become so popular now a days... |
|
It seems everyone on t.v. is doing it to disparage other people. Must you insult the handicap to make your point? It's either that or the "that's so retarded" I frequently hear. Not only is it juvenile, it's insensitive. :(

11. Sorry. Couldn't make it through that one. |

He's just too annoying. There should be a warning screen on the TV when his show comes on to let you know you're going to hurt your brain.

12. Funny no one mentions how much tax revenue this will bring in |
|
I bet when it is all over the government will actually turn a proffit.Another good thing all of this junk will end up in the crushers instead of auctions and used car lots.

Provocation, diversion and blatant lying. We seem to forget their lips are moving.

So, this is the inimitable Beck?! He is a disgusting worm! I had to stop the video only a quarter of the way into the clip, and I can't help but wonder what motivates people to watch him!
Pardon me, I have to go spend an hour or so under a hot shower...

22. My mother remembers the depression very well. |
|
The reason the farmers destroyed their crops was that they could not sell them. Their was no money circulating. Also, they had surpluses of most foods. There was no lack of food. People just couldn't afford to buy it. Roosevelt saved the farmers. My mother remembers that quit clearly and would testify to that fact in a court of law.
It's Beck who needs to go back and learn history.

24. Beck, Limbaugh & the GOP are idiots |
|
I admit I am a conservative democratic, once thought about changing my party but the more I listen to the GOP I want to slap myself for ever thinking about it. I don't want the st-inch of the GOP near me, those people are just nuts.

25. good to hear! Glad you see them for what they are - NUTSOS! |

I'm liberal minded the more I hear the GOP speak! They're full of judgment and hysteria. They lie blatantly about Dems wanting to destroy America, kill the elderly and ban churches.
I am not happy about abortion, but I believe it's every woman's right, I'm Gay and used to be confused why anyone would want to be married when I was a teen, but now I highly respect why it's very important to most, I don't like drugs, but understand it's every adult's right to determine if they want to smoke a weed even though I won't, and I expect every one here to respect my choices for my life (believing in Christ, no drugs). So, you can be a Democrat and have restrained views, but you can't be a Democrat and stop others from doing what they want in their lives just because the way they live doesn't hold up to your standards. Agreed?

OK, I don't have to be as paranoid as Beck so I went to the website he warns us against. I couldn't get that warning screen he was talking about.
The site does however explain some interesting things. Like how to qualify for the money by buying a new car that gets 4 to 10 miles per gallon more than the one you are trading in.
I haven't calculated the relationship but suspect that the cost of this program will more than be paid for by fuel savings.
Money saved on fuel can be spent elsewhere. That's how things work in a modern economic system.
Of course by warning people away from learning about this program, he helps keep people ignorant. And that's his fucking job.
