Look Out Merriam-Webster! Bill O'Reilly And Glenn Beck Define Progressivism (VIDEO)

No doubt we are dumber for having read this posting of an exchange between BillO and the Beckster!

I'm guessing Beck is the bottom.

Bill O'Reilly And Glenn Beck Define Progressivism?

WRONG! O'Reilly and Beck define the term "horse's ass."

If you looked up the definition of the term "horse's ass," you'd find a picture of those two: O'Reilly, red-faced, screaming epithets at the camera, and Beck, with his little red clown ball nose, crying for the camera.

If this is what passes for political discourse at faux news then I shudder to think what passes at comedy.

O'Reilly: They just want to take your stuff.

This is about as intellectual as Bill gets. I've read excerpts from his books. They read like they were written by a ninth grader. Seriously.

Frick and frack. Both worthless scum.

What's not to like about the historic Progressive Movement in the United States? Maybe there is a mechanism that would work more perfectly than the income tax, but on the whole the achievements of this era stand up well.

One constant in the long history of progressive thought in political action has been that it aims to make government more responsive to the direct voice of the American people. Isn't this what Beck and O'Reilly cry out for?

I'd love to see Beck or O'Reilly in debate forum with Barbara Ehrenreich or E.J. Dionne, Jr. Put Beck and/or O'Reilly in a situation where substantive points must be made and defended; the mindless drama of their repetitious buzzwords will be revealed. Beck can even bring his chalkboard if he wishes.

KevinCT reminded me of a relevant clip that serves as an accurate response to this convo:

progressive= new name of liberals who figured out they could not win elections while being identified as a liberal. this name change initially was successful, but died a sudden death in november 2010 when americans figured out that a turd is turd no matter the name.

"Progressive" has been around a long time. In Sorensen's accounts, JFK was always weary of the "progressives" in his base.

I always saw "progressives" as sitting to the left of "liberals" But I dont think that is how many people see it any more.

Anyway...as a progressive, I dont want or need anything that Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reily has to offer; bat shit is pretty much free for the asking allready.

Wow. I agree with Bill O'Reilly. This is crazy. I'm a progressive, and yes, I want to take stuff away from the wealthy, because it's necessary to the common good. No argument there. Cool. I'm starting to like O'Reilly? Wacky.
