As The Saying Goes: "You Can't Make This Stuff Up"
Was watching Jon Stewart this morning and saw this clip. Found this on Wikipedia:
In May 2009, actor Craig T. Nelson appeared on Glenn Beck, where he spoke about his dislike of the current state of government, and highlighted the importance of funding for education and teachers. He also announced he would no longer pay taxes, and went on to state: “I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No,” despite these being government assistance program.
Now of course, the punch line is the “Did anyone help me out? No, no!” But let us not give short shrift to his emphasis on “the importance of funding for education and teachers” but not wanting to pay taxes.
Per the 11th Commandment (“Thou shalt not speak ill on any fellow Republican” – primaries aside of course), I highly doubt Beck pointed out both these glaring inconsistencies to Nelson.
BILL
PS – And, as I predicted, no conservatives reprimanded Ted Nugent for threatening the life of the President.
