Glenn Beck: "America has been both terribly good and terribly BAD!"
The hypocrisy is running wild in the right wing. When President Obama dared to mention any of America's past shortcomings every right winger, including Glenn Beck, savagely attacked him for being on an 'apology tour', but they won't condemn Beck for saying the same thing. What hypocrisy! What lunacy! There isn't one honest person in the right wing.

Beck makes his living by breaking one of the Ten Commandments when he constantly 'bears false witness against his neighbors'. But not one of his deluded followers will condemn him for that either. They profess to be Christians, but they idolize a lying, dishonest fraud like Beck who breaks one of the 10 Commandments every time he is on the air. And while he is breaking commandments he is preaching hatred, racism, division and rage, all of which Jesus would condemn him for.

1. Christians aren't perfect..
Just forgiven..

A popular bumper sticker in my particular neck of the woods.

Basically it's a "get out of jail free" card for a certain kind of hypocrite.

5. Yeah, I could be a serial killer, then repent and go to heaven.
But if I helped my fellow man all my life giving from my heart, my labor and my pocketbook I would go to hell because I didn't say the magic words "I believe in Jesus". If that is the 'god' the Christians worship I want no part of that sociopath. Besides, spending an eternity with 'christians' like Bush, Beck, Robertson, etc would be total hell.

12. That's the whole premise of Christianity
I can do what ever I want in life and it doesn't matter. All I have to do is say that I believe that some other guy took the punishment for me.

2. And yet here in GA we are hearing GOP ads mocking Obama saying "America has made mistakes.'
Rotten fuckers

3. And Fox condemns Imam Rauf for saying exactly the same thing Beck said about 9/11
It's hypocritical and intentionally, willfully dishonest. They've got guys like Hannity--one of the brighter among them--crafting and promoting absolute falsehoods, all while professing their religious faith. Hell, Hannity would have been the first to rat on his Christ if it could have gained him some partisan points! He would have wielded the spear!

4. America is neither good nor bad.
Certain Americans have done ethical things.
Certain others have decided that ethics don't matter.
Of course, this lens would indict many of Beck's friends and even Beck himself.

11. Shoot. If A Democrat Or Liberal Said That America Has Been Terribly Bad...
...even in reference to something like slavery, they would be savaged by the corporatist media.
