Ok, I watched Glenn Beck only twice but I don't understand why a lot of people that don't trust the federal gvt., or "The Great Usurper"( otherwise known as Barry) will still bash him. Beck seems to raise points that the lame stream media won't and most of them point out how the federal gvt is running this country into the ground both financially and by using the Contitution as toilet paper. So why is Beck not more well liked?

Maybe because only a short year ago he was playing for the other team? You might not have heard of him before he was a "hard core freedom fighter" but many of us have. He is a douchebag who will take whatever position his NWO masters tell him.

You are wasting your energy with him. He will take you almost to the gate and then give you the run around. His job is to gather the pitch fork crowd and then...lead them astray and get them lost in the woods, so to speak. That's what Glenn Beck's function is. Dissipate righteous anger and turn it into useless actions. He is a lighting rod put in place by the people behind the curtain.

Do a search for his stuff from before. His is a sell out and a fake.

I've done some looking and I also watched him just a tad while on CNN but I'm not sure he was a "sell out and a fake." Could you provide evidence as that? Again, I couldn't find any which I'm not saying that it doesn't exist, but at the same time why would Fox hire someone who was touting a liberal agenda??? Answer, they wouldn't.

I think Beck is well liked, but there are more main strean media that is liberal plus there is Leno,Letterman,B Maher,john Stewart and many others that have a big following so many poeple don't have the guts to admit to friends and neighbors that they watch Beck and agree with a lot of what he says. anyone notice that he has no sponsers left except people who buy and sell gold, UPS and others were scared away from him.

Is that kind of like bending you over without the curtousy of a reach around? But not most people didn't believe any of this stuff that's going on now could be possible. I know he's getting paid and he's an entertainer for FOX first and foremost but isn't it good to expose people to the way the govt. is treating us regardless of who's making money. I want my neighbor asking questions of their representatives and if some goofy yes man is the guy that gets them thinking that just maybe the govt. doesn't really care about the people then I why should that turn me off?

I just watched him for the first time the other day, my dear friend fxjohn told me about him.

I found myself liking what Beck had to say, I agree with him the the national healthcare disaster that is threatening to bankrupt our nation.

thank God that fxjohn told me about him on the FoxNews network

Glenn Beck IS well liked -- check his ratings. The FOX ratings have escalated since his 5pm show started early this year.

Those left-wingnuts and radicals try to use the Alinsky rule of ridicule to hopefully detract viewers because Beck and his staff have brought many of the Soros/Obama issues into the public eye through his 5pm slot.

All that Beck states on his show can be fact-checked. The naysayers on this thread should provide substantiation for their statements, rather than resort to the Alinsky childish name-calling retort.

Declan,

Look, the first video is saying that some of the fringe elements of Ron Paul's movement are a little whacked. Who disagrees with that? Who disagrees that there are some whacked people on every fringe? No one. The title is a little misleading.

Of course he's somewhat of an entertainer. He's trying to get and keep ratings. He has a formula: a little over-the-top theatrics teamed with the real news that people want to hear. I don't want to hear about Miley Cyrus or deer running through the lobby of a McDonalds. I want to hear about Czar appointments, ACORN conspiracies, threats to the economy etc. Beck does that. O'Reilly doesn't. Rachel Maddow doesn't. Beck beats up Bush and beats up Obama and our government. It's high time someone does.

Does he cry? Yes, is it retarded? Yes. However, his formula is working and is putting heat to people that have probably never experienced it in their political careers. Does Beck have any answers. No, not really. I've watched his shows and read a couple of his books. On air, he says he's not for a violent revolution. Anyone with any knowledge of history, human nature, and clue of the atrocities being carried out in our society right now knows that an eventual violent revolution will have to take place to right the ship. Beck knows it. I would bet he knows it. However, if he said it on air or in a book he would be immediately written off as a far right-wing nutjob. He pushes as far as he can without getting canned...

I tend to agree with a lot of your posts, but I think you are totally wrong in this case.

Hey Jeff, strictly speaking, you're right, of course. But this is the "general discussion" sub-forum, so we generally expect,and generally receive, a little latitude. No big deal. And honestly, how hard is it to tell when a thread isn't of interest to you ? And if it's less than accurately titled, or veers off into left field, how hard is it to click away ? Seriously, like Declan said, "who cares?" ;)

I watched Glenn tonight. What a powerful show!!!! If you weren't moved by tonights show I don't know what will light your fire. These new progressives in Washington are trying as hard as they can to bring our great nation down. How come none of them admire any of our founding fathers??? It's because the last 230 years and our founding fathers are an affront to them!! They want the U.S.A. to be just like the former USSR or even worse France:zombie We need to teach our kids what made there/our nation the greatest nation on earth for the last 230 years instead of teaching them how to be cross dressers!! If you didn't see the cross dress video shown to school kids I'm sure it's on You Tube.

We need to wake up America!!!

Is it just me or did that "crying on cue" video just look like them at a photo shoot? By the way I though crying on cue was being able to cry without any help.

Anyway I think he says things that I agree with but I don't think everything he says will happen. He is too much of a drama queen for me. I usually just stick to Red Eye and headlines.
 
#20 ·
No one can predict all that will happen, but the important thing is that the elements at work should be watched and we should be aware of them. Some things we can stop before they even start.

I don't have TV and don't listen to the radio, so I don't know what Beck or Rush or any of the others are like, but I know they are fellow watchmen on the wall, whether you or I like their styles or not. I have seen Lou Dobbs and love him. The message itself is what is important in all of this.
 
#21 ·
Notice that everybody is attacking the person...not the message. People that do not agree with him on both extremes do not argue the points he is making, just who the messenger is. Keep that in mind as you decide whether to believe his information.

Do not mistake this for sticking up for Mr. Beck. As a public the media has gotten us into the habit of attacking the persons that we do not agree with, not their messages. If we do not agree with somebody, we need to find holes in their argument, not find skeletons in their closet. We are in a new time where we need to question everything we see, hear, and read from all sources. If we do not agree, we must argue the facts, not dismiss the messenger.
 
#22 ·
Glenn Beck does so well due to the content of his show, both radio and TV. Those who attack , attack him not the content. That should be the first clue of who you are dealing with. Their continues to be an ongoing effect to put him down any way they can. At all times you will notice that the purpose is to get you to not watch. listen and by all means believe what you hear and see with your "lying" eyes and ears. Take your time and make up your own mind. (Which is always the last thing the left wants you to do).
 
#25 ·
Beck is telling people to prepare. I agree with most of what he says but he is told what NOT to mention. I have enjoyed Beck's comedy and he has a way of keeping people laughing while making them think. I am disapointed Beck nor any of the other conservative hosts never mention Savage who has already been banned. They all whine around about losing their 1st ammendment but do not speak out about someone who has already been attacked openly.

I also, and do still, listened to him on the radio before he went to cnn and he was and is the same. I never watched him on cnn :taped: because I did not know he was there and I do not even have cnn in my channel listing on Dish. Prove that "he is told what not to say"! If you want him to talk about Savage email him through http://glenbeck.com/ and ask him. He has responded to email before, try it out. :thumb: I use to listen to him (Savage)also, but when I left Shreveport the radio station I found did not carry him. Beck does a great service to say and present the topic in ways that anyone can follow. No from the Obamama house :whip: disputs the message...just attacks Fox, Hannity, O'Reilly and Beck (and Rush). That in itself speak volumes. Obamer will go on any liberal show but will not go on any hard questioning conservitive show. Rush, Hannity and Beck rock the ship of this ad-mistration and I like it. :rofl:

I have been a glen beck listener for almost 4 years now. 4 years ago he was hard on Bush for spending too much money for the 1st stimulus (remember the checks that came in the mail to try to get us to spend money)but behind him with the surge.He told people to buy gold and food because inflation was coming.
3 years ago he was predicting that the republican party was going to run a moderate because they were showing signs of turning their back on the conservative agenda.He told people to buy gold and food and buy clothes for your children in the next 4 or 5 sizes because inflation was coming.
2 years ago he was predicting a rash of bank failures and was the only one talking about the failure of the idea that everyone deserves a mortgage wheter they could afford a home or not. He predicted stocks would go down to 7,000 within a year when it was mmore than twice that. He told people to buy gold and food and buy clothes for your children in the next 4 or 5 sizes and that guns and ammunition would be getting expensive due to taxes and government control.
1 year ago he was saying he wouldn't vote for McCain except for the fact he chose Palin as a running mate and was saying Bush and Obama were BOTH wrong about stimulus packages that put each American in 100,000 debt. He predicted that there would be a growth in stocks that went against everything that makes sense in economics and then a crash and you shouldn't tie up everything in the stock market.He told people to buy gold and food and buy clothes for your children in the next 4 or 5 sizes and that guns and ammunition would be getting expensive due to taxes and government control. And get out of the stock market and invest in real property.
Now he is predicting a change in our government that will pull us into socialism through some sort of "emergancy" that would overwhelm and then overthrow the system.
It scares me how often he was right in the last 4 years. What scares me is that he may still be right now. 3 years ago I began to prepare buy food and other survival supplies, we moved from crowded south FLorida to the mountains where we have a garden and a beter situation to be self sufficient.

Ha! Again, there is a major difference in being for a public option and having the government subsidizing healthcare and realizing that there is a need for some general reform. Beck admits reform is needed, hell who doesn't? It's just the reform that Obama/Pelosi/Reid are pushing which is having a nationalized healthcare plan. The liberals are pushing a socialistic form and I think the average Joe would just like to see Advil not cost $23/pill.

Of course, the fringe liberals won't admit to this...

Let me attack glen beck

I hate to watch glen beck...I fin him kind of weasel'ly and he creeps me out.
OK I'm done...
I do however really enjoy listening to beck and honestly can hardly ever disagree with what he has to say.

SOooo...Let me pose this question to the group. "If glen beck is a sell out yada yada yada... Then who is IYHO worthy of listening to?

Sorry for stealing the thread... MODS if you wish to delete or move my post fell free.
 
#32 ·
Declan turn off Alex Jones... He is just mad because Beck has a bigger following then him and that the tea-parties were generally credited to Beck and NOT Jones. Jones has some good messages like wake up America, but the more he pushes the 911 truther movement, chemtrails, bohemean Grove, etc he relegates the movement against big government to the crazy pile. Everything you said sounded like it came from the mouth of Jones, yes I listen on occasion. If anyone is working for the NWO to subvert the movement and make us all look crazy in the mainstream its Jones.

Politifact sez:

John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, "has proposed forcing ********* and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population."

Forty-five percent of doctors "say they'll quit" if health care reform passes.

But wait - there's more....

He refers to his audience as 'zombies'...would anyone here raise their hand and say they actually want to be considered a mindless, controllable creature?
 
#41 ·
You quoted the St Petersburg Times :rofl::rofl::rofl:

If they were any more left they would flip the boat over!! Lets see some legitimate evidence that what Glenn Beck talks about is false!!! We will not see it,, just as we don't see the white house calling Beck to refute his claims,,, because what Glenn says is true and people don't like that. People like the St Pete Times, Huffington Post and the NYT amongst many other progressive publications. These people and liberals alike will attack the messenger and not the message.

Rant Alert: (You might want to avert your eyes and skip this post)

Is ANYONE else on main stream media bringing us the news! I don't think so. While you might not like Glen Beck I would suggest you compare him with EVERYONE else on EVERY news channel. He makes me feel as though the white house has some kind of media force field around it and no one may pass through unless they bring the propaganda from the president. I refuse to even get into a comparison dispute until someone gets a spine and starts looking at this administration and reporting on it.

The print media is dying and the reason is simple. The news is no longer the news. I feel like the first few pages on the St Louis Post are about telling me what to think and how to feel. I don't want their opinion I want the facts so I can form my own opinions and then discuss them with my neighbors. Our main stream media has turn many of my neighbors into mush headed regurgitators. They repeat what they have heard and when I ask why they feel that way on a topic they can't express it beyond "everyone feels that way, don't you watch the news?"

I refuse to get in line and turn off my brain and repeat after me media. That means that soon they will come for me and if you think for yourself they will come for you to. If Glen Beck is the only one with balls enough to talk straight then don't diss the messenger. He is the canary in the mineshaft. When he dies you know the level is toxic and you are next.

He might not be the bast person for the job, but one thing is for sure, He is the only working that I can find!

Sorry rant is over: The owners of this site are not responsible for the opinions expressed in this post and if anyone bleeds from their eyes or their head explodes in frustration while reading the post the reader assumes all risks.
