Glenn Beck and Frog-gate
My God. I published a video of Glenn Beck yesterday in which he explained why he believed a John McCain presidency would have been worse for conservatism than the Obama administration.
As I explained in my post I disagreed vehemently with the Fox News host.
Although I focused on what Beck actually said and simply disagreed with him, others went insane over a trick he used to make his point. He, it seemed, threw a frog in hot, boiling water saying it would “jump right out.” It did not. It stayed right put and was boiled to death.
“I thought, I really thought it would jump out,” Beck said in amazement.
Those of you who watched the video I published know what happened next: Beck said Republicans and Democrats were fake, just like the frog. It was made of rubber. He is a showman, this is what he does for a living. Of course he didn’t really kill a frog.
Sadly, however, quite some bloggers ignored the part in which he said that the frog was fake. Instead, they published a video of the show that was cut off right before the “it was fake” part.
Beck reacted to the controversy during yesterday’s show, explaining how his team and he operated to give people the impression he killed a frog. Watch it:
Now, I may criticize Beck(’s opinions) every now and then but this controversy was and is insane. If these bloggers would’ve just taken the time to watch a longer version of the video posted at YouTube they would’ve known Beck was pulling their strings. Headlines as “Glenn Beck Boils Cute Little Frog to Death” and “Did Beck Just Kill a Frog?”
I mean, dang people, even PETA realized it was a trick.
I’ll just repeat what I wrote yesterday: Suffice to say that conservatives may consider spending a little bit less timing criticizing right-of-center commentators and a bit more time going after Ed Schultz and the like.
Beck maybe the only newsman left… I praise his efforts to expose the socialist for what he is.
NOBAMA!
The democrats are desperate for a villian. They have no Bush/Cheney.
They must Use Alinsky on someone…..Karl Rove is gone. Rush Limbaugh has even lost appeal because he does not seem to excite the left/center.
As SNL and Comedy Central begins doing more and more skits on their own the left is becoming frantic. Its getting serious when far left liberals are making fun of moderately left liberals.
As SNL just did a skit the other night.
President Obama’s Accomlishments so far.
1. Jack
2. Squat.
They are so desperate to Roviate or Alinskyize something…anything that Beck is now their target.
