In case you contemplated rubbing shoulders with thousands of right wing nutjobs, you unfortunately missed the National Rifle Association's 139th Annual Meetings & Exhibits, which were held this weekend in Charlotte, NC. One of the keynote speakers at the Celebration of American Values Freedom Experience on Saturday was FOX News's Glenn Beck. During his speech (complete with his usual chalkboard), Beck uttered the following comment: "You go to your PTA meetings and when somebody says something stupid -- you go to your softball games and when your kids win a trophy for just showing up, you take that trophy and you say, 'Our family doesn't accept stuff we didn't earn'."
Rewind to earlier in the day and Beck was delivering the 2010 Commencement address to the graduates of Liberty University, the educational institution founded by Jerry Falwell. And at the ceremony, Beck actually received a honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from the university. However, despite the fact that he dropped out of Yale University after only one course, Beck accepted the doctorate degree he clearly "didn't earn".
