Now you are someone who understands reason and truth.

I would love to get back to civil discourse in our nation. A marketplace of ideas is an incredible gift in our nation, but the whack-jobs seem to have high-jacked the moderate middle ground, leaving only the extreme viewpoints to get any kind of media. Ugh.

If his viewers would spend half of the time fact checking Beck as they do watching him, his rating would plummet. Beck is a yellow propagandist, and Fox needs to be held accountable for giving this charlatan a platform for spouting his nonsense. There needs to be a coordinated, wide-spread boycott of all companies advertising on Fox until Fox dumps this liar and hypocrite.

Rand really showed his novice status in that interview, but I'm sure he will improve. I thought it was an interesting choice not to appear on Meet the Press and a real mistake. I think it would've been better to go on and say that while he may have expressed his position poorly, he still stands behind the substance of his comments, that government shouldn't regulate, yadda yadda. It would be so much more refreshing to see those kinds of interview instead of the FOX/MSNBC softball interviews. Get Palin on Olbermann and Harry Reid on Hannity. Then we might get somewhere.

He would have discredited the accusation and would have presented it as a great point, without offending anybody. Rand froze up because of all the pressure, and he needs more experience debating. Ron would have said something like "well no I think it's wrong to discriminate against anybody, and i think it's a bad idea for a buisiness owner to turn down somebody because of their ethnicity, and i'd like to see how long they last. But you know, over regulating these companies just causes more harm than good." and then he'd have miles of facts afterwords. Rand will learn how to defend himself better, he really just wanted to say that he didn't beleive the government should step in and tell people how to run their buisiness, and that it just creates more problems than it solves.

An attempt to be playful while trying to make a serious point that backfired. Considering he's shared his ipod playlist with the press, his comments are disingenuous at best.

Plug in the Xbox and hit the power button, interestingly this is the exact same process that one would go through in order to play an Atari 40 years ago.

I cannot believe that there are still 25% of us that buy her as a credible person. Each time she speaks, she scares me more. I blog about her occasionally. The woman is a fraud.
