People on most "news sources" in the modern age are either stupid, misinformed, or just plain liars. The most egregious of these is Glenn Beck. In between his nonsensical rants and his stoking of the racist/extreme right-wing anger, he manages to also tell plain lies about the history of this country and the state of the world. I try to ignore him as much as I possibly can, but I was flipping channels the other day and was greeted by a big fat lie.
A quick note:
Glenn Beck- progressivism did not bring about prohibition. Prohibition was passed by a Republican House & Senate despite a Presidential veto from Woodrow Wilson. Look at the make-up of the 66th United States Congress, beginning in March of 1919 when the Volstead Act was passed you right-wing talk-box piece of moron. That took me about three seconds to find out on Wikipedia, you couldn’t Google it yourself before spouting your vile hate? Wilson did not want it and did not vote for it. Volstead, the guy who wrote the act, was a REPUBLICAN from Minnesota. How’s that for the government leaving you alone? Isn't that corner stone of the Republican party? Small government, letting people do what they feel like and staying out of their way? They were TELLING you whether or not you can drink alcohol. Get the facts right, you maniacal ideologue.
