The Argument Against Idiots: Candidates Family Members are off-limits

September 03, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

How to win the argument de jour with logic and facts



 


The issue:

'Candidates Family Members are off-limits'

What the liberal whiners say:

'I can't help but notice, now that the shoe is on the other foot for you hypocrites, you sure don't like it, do you? Now that little Bristol Palin is getting some scrutiny, all of sudden family members are off limits! Where were you when Michelle Obama was getting torn apart by all you rabid Republican attack dogs?'

'And...how about her husband's DWI charge? Is drunken driving now completely OK to for you hypocrites when it's a Republican endangering lives?'

'No, there's the Bush twins and their drunken debauchery at the Chuy's Mexican restaurant in Texas...I guess all these drunks and trollups are just fine with you...you've conveniently forgotten all of this!'

'I see, so viciously attacking Obama's wife, his Kenyan father, his Kansan mother, Hawaiian grandmother, Nairobian half-brother...all of that is absolutely fine with the unholy alliance of right-wing nut-job Bush-botians...but don't dare hit back?

Your winning, logical, reasoned arguments

1. Sarah Palin's daughter is 17 years old for starters. She is also NOT out campaigning! Michelle Obama was campaigning for her husband when she attacked this country numerous times...that made her fair game! You can't possibly believe attacking a 17 year girl is the same thing, can you?

2. That was 22 YEARS ago. He was 22 years old at the time, and he and Sarah hadn't even met yet. He hasn't been involved in campaigning either...is this the best you can do?

3. OK, "debauchery" is REALLY a stretch...they were cited for underage drinking...SEVEN YEARS AGO! And here again, the twins were 19 at the time and NOT part of their father's campaign! In fact, Bush was just 5 months into his first term, there was no need to go after his children.

4. I don't know anyone who's attacked Obama's father, mother, grandmother or half-brother. His wife has received some criticism because she could be our next first lady, and says she's proud of the country for the first time. But thank you for again pointing out the wonderful diversity of the Barack Obama family, though.

Glenn Beck: THIS is why Biden nominated Merrick Garland as attorney general

Many will remember President Biden's attorney general nominee Merrick Garland as the man Republicans refused to hold a Supreme Court confirmation hearing for back in 2016. So, was Garland's AG nomination just meant to be a slap in the face to Republicans? Glenn Beck thinks there's a lot more to it.

Given how focused Democrats are on rooting out vaguely defined "right-wing extremism," Garland's work in supervising the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing suspects gives us a hint, Glenn suggested on radio this week. He said he's "all for" stopping dangerous extremists, but couldn't help noticing how Garland isn't talking about any of the destruction that happened over the summer.

"I am all for justice. I am all for making sure we catch the bad guys, as long as the bad guys are not defined to be on only one side," Glenn said. "Merrick Garland said [Monday] that there was no comparison between what happened on January 6th and what happened over the summer. That is because the Washington elites see themselves as better than somebody who owns a taco stand. I don't. The Constitution doesn't. They are the same crime."

CONTROL FREAKS: The Great Reset Overlords Who Will Ru(i)n Your Life

"All rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference," said holy anointed billionaire Bill Gates. Green activism has been around for decades. But what used to be wacky has now worked its way into the world's power structure. You must believe the science. You cannot question the science.

The Texas power failure provided America with a disturbing and deadly preview of the Great Reset. But Bill Gates, AOC, and other Democrats say this only proves we need to enforce MORE green policies.

On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn Beck reveals how deep the Great Reset tentacles reach into government and business to strangle freedom and their efforts to control every aspect of your private life.

Pastor IMPRISONED for violating lockdown: Are government officials 'picking on' Christians?

Why are we letting criminals out of prison while putting pastors in? Pastor James Coates of Canada's GraceLife Church was recently fined, arrested, and put in maximum security prison for violating lockdown rules.

Rebel News founder Ezra Levant joined Glenn Beck on "Glenn TV" to discuss the story. Ezra said he's noticed a trend of government officials "picking on" Christians as "lockdownism" becomes almost a new kind of religion, and warned this might be just the start of more persecution to come.
