Yes, Yes Vic,  I know. Democrats are capable of the same sort of crap. Apparently being a jerk is human not just political nature.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and Glenn Beck says his Doctor says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charter.net\/news\/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9H2V2300%40news.ap.org%3E&#038;ps=1016\">he might go blind<\/a>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Huh! He&#8217;s already blind.  I can&#8217;t help but wonder if this isn&#8217;t just another way to get his viewers to pony up sympathy money like when Oral Roberts told his viewers a<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4qKtmapiw3U\"> nine hundred foot tall<\/a> Jesus told him he would die unless he raised nine million bucks to build a hospital on his college&#8217;s campus. According to Roberts, &#8220;I want you to use the ORU medical school to put My medical presence in the earth. I want you to get this going in one year or I will call you home. It will cost $8 million and I want you to believe you can raise it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I know Dr. Dixon attended CSU but he must have listened to Roberts. He can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/Dixon%20Clips\/dixon_clips.htm\">tear up<\/a> just as easily. I know this sounds pretty cynical but even Jesus warned his followers to watch out for false prophets&#8230;&#8230;or was that profits?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To its discredit the Obama Administration succumbed to panic over this and fired an honorable person because of the GOP slander machine.
