Don't be thick; you've proven you smarter than the average RWer. Do you not understand the presence of an exception establishes that a general rule exists?
If you object to the superlative, simply accept my remarks as a bit (a tiny bit) of hyperbole and substitute (most, many, some) for all.
Hyperbole that is based on reality is fine. I use it all the time (and take a lot of grief because I do.) But hyperbole that is based on unsupportable prejudice or indefensible assumptions is not fine. And it should not be acceptable to any intelligent person.
So again, I am asking those who dislike, distrust, disrespect, and/or hate Glenn Beck to give me something to work with here. Why is he sufficient to discredit a rally intended to restore America's honor? What do you think will happen at this rally that justifies the truly hateful rhetoric being said about it?
I DISLIKE ALL (there goes that superlative again) opportunists whose actions have consequences which are likely to cause harm. I dislike people, generally, who use populists rhetoric for personal gain when the consequences of divisive rhetoric are likely to cause harm to others.
Yep, that makes me a bleeding heart liberal in the (small) minds of the contemporary conservative. Yet, my values were formed by the teaching of Catholic Nuns who used the words of Jesus (of course all of this occured before I realized the Catholic relgion, as are ALL [there he goes again] religions, are little more than self-serving quasi-political organizations.
I don't hate Beck, I simply believe he's a piece of shit. Shit defined as something I don't want in the punch bowl at a party I attend.
Not healthy to hate yourself.
