Beck attacks Chris Coons as "a Marxist," a "staunch anti-capitalist"

It turns out that Glenn Beck got it right. 25 years ago Coons wrote an article for the Amherst College Newspaper in which he talks about his own transformation from a close minded conservative to an open minded bearded Marxist.

So I'd say that's pretty cut and dried.

A beared Marxist?? Is that supposed to be worse than a regular marxist? Why is that adjuctive there, what meaningful purpose does it have?

Also, source? please?
 
Another Glenn Beck attack by Media Matters... lololololololol

I'm going to start counting how many times you say something to this nature. I won't count the times in the past you have.

Maybe instead of attacking the source you should attack the content. Show us the proof that he is a marxist.

"Bearded Marxist" is literally what Coons called himself in the title of the article.

:lamo:lamo I see, Media Matters publishes the voice of your hero Glenn Beck attacking Chris Coons as a Marxist and you consider this an attack on Beck? Too funny. What is up is down to you and white is black to you.
How come you don't defend Glenn Beck's comment instead of making glib inane comments? :roll:

That doesn't sound tongue-in-cheek to you?

I see, in your world of Glenn Beck worship, one must prove they're not something? :roll: Please prove he is a Marist.

You need to show he is one and not the other way around. Prove that you are not an "anti-capitalist Marxist." You Beck worshippers are sure entertaining.

Edit: Your new avatar is quite revealing.

Okay fine prove that O'Donnell isn't really a card carrying Wiccan sacrificing babies to Satan.:2razz:

Uuuhhhh. Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. But the fact is he said he is.

And weren't we recently schooled after the Obama/Christianity thingy about the need for taking someone at their word....?

The burden of proof is on you. He says himself that he is one, so show me that he was just joking. Show me proof that he's a capitalist.

Yes it is. I support this site and will put my avatar up for sale so that vague doesn't have to pay for most of the dues every month. :mrgreen: Will you put yours up for sale? I'd love to buy it.

BTW you need to get a sense humor.

I recommend a nightly dose of John Stewart followed by a Colbert and avoid Beck at all costs.

I have a great sense of humor and, yes, I do watch Stewart sometimes. His Beck impersonations are hilarious. MUCH funnier than SNL.

About O'Donnell....I'm not really following that election very closely. Your link did make me raise my eyebrows. That's just.....weird. Do you think she was joking?

Why don't you decide for yourself.

Um....why are you assuming I haven't? I already said that was weird so obviously I don't think she's joking. Do you?

There's nothing to attack. Beck is an opinion show host, who formed an opinion based on the evidence. That's what political "opinion" people do. The fact that Media Matters went on another attack is almost as pathetic as the rubes that buy into their partisan BS.

In all honesty it does not matter to me if she is Wiccan, Pagan, Muslim, Christian, Diest, Buddhist, etc.
