I stated my opinion of his show based upon my understanding of it, and first you Tailgater got all in a tizzy and worked up claiming I was wrong, but now that you've cooled your jets you realize that you do in fact agree with me. You see, we both KNOW what this channel, and what this actor are all about. We don't need to argue that, right?
He does in fact appeal to the group of people I mentioned, just as this website appeals to that same group. Cite me evidence to the contrary? Fine, go ahead, but I don't need to do a stats survey to realize that there are probably not a lot of lower to lower middle class black people on this site just as on Beck's program. It's pretty much just how it goes, and the ads on the show appeal to that group. Nothing racist about that, so please don't anyone go there.
Perhaps try to welcome other's opinion's, question them maybe, but why all the hostility and chest puffery? For Christ's sakes Snowwolf, so you jump your yap into every conversation you hear and decide to treat the one you disagree with like you do me? Do that in public, and you'll get your ass beat. Not a threat, just a something I've observed over the years. Be nice, dude. Thanks.
Beck is an advertising tool that makes money off of the lower to lower middle class. No different than the other media tools that the other side of the fence religiously adhere to and worship. Stop arguing over who is the biggest leech on our citizens and maybe we can go from there.
Cool?
So you're basically recanting everything you posted except that Beck makes lots of money from advertising?
And then after doing so, you're trying to convince (yourself) that we actually agreed all along, but it was somehow OUR fault that the tangents were taken and the point misconstrued?
So back up. Take deep breaths. And understand that I'm not really "agreeing" with you when I acknowledge Beck's penchant for captilizing on advertising dollars. I'm actually trying to humor you, because this one small snipet of truth wasn't your primary point.
The fact remains that you are somehow equating Becks marketing value as proof that he must be lying on his program.
And yes, that is precisely how your rant began.
And please don't get me wrong. I enjoy the banter.
I just didn't forsee your feathers getting ruffled so easily.
