What a Twit. As if his smug and cheesy persona wasn't bad enough. Typical naive and ignorant Beck. Nothing new here.

Well Glenn Beck does have a tendency to compare everything he doesn't like to fascist regimes, especially the Nazis, so I wouldn't expect anything less.

well the people he did talk about said some really radical things, but i know not all universities are like this. But some do have so overly opinionated professors.

...then why bother posting? Feeling verbose tonight?

This reminds me of when I made a post called "The Power of Spawn". A third of the comments were from people disappointed that it was not about the comic character. Obviously not, so why bother posting?! Incidentally it was about how my ex-step brother, Jon Auer of the band The Posies has a half-brother who works for Microsoft, and that is how they got their music in the Vista WMP sample playlist. Shaking hands under the corporate table.

Because I knew that someone like yourself would post just as useless an addition to the conversation, then I'd be able to respond to that, thus increasing my post count of course.

It is related to another posters comment, but both are quite off topic to this thread. Point taken. Quantitative status as opposed to qualitative status seems to be all that matters around here.

I wouldn't really call it a re-education camp, I mean if you're already listening to him then the additional misinformation consumption is more like an extra-curricular activity. EDIT: oops, should have read things more carefully, I thought it was asking if Beck University was a re-education camp :P

My mother who watches Fox News (she doesn't take most of it seriously though, thank God) can't even stand him. Theres a very small percentage of Republicians and Conservatives that take him seriously. I will admit though that theres a few professors I've meet at WCSU (Western CT), that are sooo far left its insane, so Beck may have a point to his craziness (its a scary thought too)

Hmmm, I hate the idea of "off-topicing" this thread further, but "anti-qualitative"?! Wow. The term is all inclusive.

Unfortunately a lot of people do take him seriously. He just had a HUGE turnout at that National Mall rally. I think the more you decry the state of America, without really specifying or giving good options, you know, just wholesale fearmongering, the more people will listen to you.

Saying that something isn't as good as it once was will always conjure up nostalgia in people, which gives credit to your claim.

Beck wants to keep average people stupid so when all the illegals are driven out, there will still be enough poor people left over to cut his lawn and take out his trash.

The kinds of people who take this guy seriously have probably never been to college to debunk this tripe anyway. He's riding a very basic conservative, anti-government, anti-incumbent sentiment at the moment. Stunts like this are barely surprising.

His statement doesn't make any sense when you take into account the fact that there are several conservative universities in the US as well. Did all of the military academies and religious universities suddenly become bastions of liberalism?

That's a fair point anyway. Most univeristies only REALLY have biases in humanities courses; disciplines like engineering, science and business can largely be considered apolitical. Even then, to call any university, liberal or conservative, a re-education camp, really undersells the nature of re-education camps.

And then if you're in the departments like music or theatre, you pretty much waive all right to complain about a liberal bias.

How dare you! Conservative musical theatre is on the ascendence!
