Speaking of images, this is one interesting theory... And incidentally, speaking of this... quote:
ORIGINAL: Musicmystery And yet, "No, no I'm just saying -- Beck-Palin, I'll consider." "But Palin-Beck -- can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She'd be yapping or something, and I'd say, 'I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen.'" Seems a few conservatives have remembered they like their wimmin in their place. ...here are some interesting snippets from another piece today: "Beck commences reasonably enough by declaring that war 'should qualify as a shared sacrifice.' But then he veers into irrational demands that strain any effort to understand: “'What sacrifice are you willing to share? Shave your armpits, sign up for a tour of duty and share the sacrifice.' "Is he directing this exclusively to women? Or are all recruits expected to shave under their arms these days?" Anyone else see this one coming--? "What is notable about Beck berating others to enlist is that he never did so. Not in his youth, nor for the current wars in which he claims to believe. Beck was 37 years old in 2001. He could have signed up after 9/11, and during any of the five years thereafter. But apparently shared sacrifice was secondary to seeking radio stardom." But this part? "Beck is not only opposed to sharing sacrifices by spreading the costs of war to all citizens, he believes that the sacrifice Americans ought to be making is in the area of their own well being. He argues that domestic initiatives like health care should be curtailed in favor of war funding." The piece concludes (after a discussion of health care issues): "Glenn Beck is a wealthy, well-insured, elitist who has never served in the military. Yet he is comfortable lecturing everyone else on what it means to share sacrifice. He is content to allow thousands of Americans to die here at home - ten times the number every year than have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in eight years - so that he doesn’t have to pay a little more of his millions in taxes. And then he has the gall to belittle others for failing to show due consideration for the troops. "An equally disturbing aspect of this is that, in pursuit of his greedy selfishness, Beck will deliberately misinform his legions of deluded disciples about the facts related to health insurance deficiencies and abuses. With his proclivity for purposeful deception he joins his Fox colleague, Bill O’Reilly, who still insists that there are no homeless veterans. "The only lessons to be learned from Beck’s sermon on shared sacrifice are sadistic, shameless, self-serving, specious, and quite literally sickening."
