Final and conclusive evidence that Glenn Beck is crazy (YouTube)

[웃 910]

Your angle artwork is a side perspective, can you not see that were you able to manipulate the angle to be standing behind Beck, that pointy stick would be headed towards Egypt? The stick did not touch the screen at that time, even if it were pointing at the place you say it was. He wasn't close enough to the map to touch the screen with the stick while saying "Egypt", he had stepped backwards before that part. His pointer stick is swinging around while pointing to Egypt, not sturdy as if against the map. I am still confident with my view.

He does actually touch the screen....He never changes his distance from the board throughout the video....If you turn your volume all the way up you can actually here a slight tick noise from when his stick hits the board at 2:35 - 2:36 when he points to Morocco....Thus the stick is touching where it appears it is touching. Worst case scenario a couple of CM off...Therefore your hypothesis that the angle can make what appears to be where the end of the stick hits not where he is actually pointing a FAILED ARGUMENT.

He was a good 15-18 inches off when he said "here is Egypt" and pointed to Western China...I will only give your "angle and camera perspective argument" 2 to 3 inches of inaccuracy, and that is being generous...Best case scenario he was pointing to Iran (unlikely)...worst case scenario he was pointing to Western China / Tajikistan.

OK I vote for Godless Heathen. Right or wrong, he's making his case the best he can while all Church Lady does is sit back and sneer.

I didn't say he didn't touch the map at all, I said specifically when he said "Egypt", he did not. You don't see him walking away from the map at 26 secs? Interesting. This has to be my last comment for now because I need to go do a few things. But I'll be back...later.
