As in, why try to disprove it. Beck is correct. But I disagree with the emphasis placed.
Umm, how do you disagree with the emphasis that someone used to highlight the parts that illustrate their point?

In any case, this should be the kind of thing that people come together on. Most mainstream conservatives and liberals seem to agree that communism and socialism are not the way to go. But instead, conservatives are outraged (rightly so) and most liberals are just willing to let it slide, or downplay it, because it's a Barack Obama thing.

I'd like to say it would work in reverse, even, but it does not. Conservatives seem far more likely to come out against their leaders (remember Harriet Miers?).

It's a sad commentary on affairs when we live in a state where so many people have blind loyalty to a leader rather than educated loyalty to an ideology.
