…but at least the posters in this thread in support of Beck have posted ACTUAL reports rather than resort to playground insults and blanket statements without actually adding any substance to these claims…apparently thinking IS hard for you.
Point is, if you’re gonna try to flame something/someone how about you lay down a fact or two rather than your own bullshit opinion … you represent an ideal (liberal … I get it) but you’re representing it quite poorly. So, how about you give me a reason WHY Beck’s an idiot and maybe provide 3 or more references to back it up … otherwise you just look like a buffoon.
But Polo, Beck misspelled a word. How much more of a silly conservative can you be? Besides, you misunderstand their concept of thinking. When you believe yourself to be part of a socialist collective, thinking can be done by others in the collective and just bottle feed to you.
Who said I was conservative? 
Good question. In the end it does not matter. After all, the terms liberal and conservative are just generalities. Individual beliefs vary widely within these discriptives. I can respect any man (or woman) who has their own beliefs and can support them with substantive fact.
I have liberal friends. I was once very liberal minded. I voted for Michael Dukakis and Bill Clinton the first time, but don’t tell anyone. Heck, I once believed in Santa Claus as well.
Time, education, and life experience changed my views. It may even be conceivable that I could be convinced back to the other side. Not likely, but not out of the question. However, I can assure you it won’t come by insults and condescending remarks with no reason and factual backup.

I didn’t want to hop on the “no facts with insults” train, but I thought this quote summed it up nicely.
