Glenn Beck: Dry Drunk on Display

[CrusaderFrank]

Dante's "to do" list:

1. Make a post about Palin
2. Make a post about Beck

I don't watch Glen Beck too much. I'm feeding my horse when he's on and usually catch about the last 10 minutes or so. I'm far from an expert on the man.

I will say that watching those last 10 minutes that a lot of what he says makes sense.

He's the opinion side of Fox. People can watch or not. They can take what he says seriously or not. Its totally up to the viewer. I guess its all in what you WANT to believe or NOT WANTto believe.

Either way, Beck like Palin is doing pretty darned good. Not to bad for an ex-Alchy. Not to bad at all. LOL

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Fox are doing very nicely in the ratings, as is Beck. I can see why that is annoying for the left.

Btw, I see you stole a line of mine for your sig. How rude.

another RWL @ USMB response?

I have no ill will towards the idea of FOX making money or doing well. I am an elitist who has very little respect for most public opinion and most of the media...entertainment and otherwise.

I don't like propaganda posing as reasoned and rational debate, but that is what MOST of the public puts up with.

One cannot be intelligent and insightful and have any real respect for the majority of public opinion. The politicians and the parties don't...that is why they hire the PR and Media people they do.

get with IT or forever remain a nitwit on an anonymous internet message board who is deluded enough to imagine people take you seriously.


Dante

My dear little man, we are all anonymous nitwits on a message board. I don't think any of us takes the other seriously. Only fools do that.

I know IT'sa bad habit that stems from watching or listening to people like Hannity, Matthews, Rush, and Olberman, but....You cannot speak for 'We' all eing anonymous.

Now we are all nitwits hete @ USMB...and I can say that because the posts here are proof positive.

and sadly, given all the speeches here about patriotism and how 'We' all need to register for Tea Parties or vote this way or contact this congress person...it is obvious many think they are being taken seriously....nobody can be that big a blowhard in real life.
LOL

Beck makes a lot of sense.

You folks should watch more of him.

Beck makes very little sense. His message is dumbed down anger and frustration for those who feel helpless and hopeless.

Beck's message as told to me by loyal listeners is terribly naive and irrational. It makes bigger fools of peoplethan any bs to come down the line in decades.

Beck's followers are people who others laugh at behind their backs.

Like I said, watch for yourself, then come tell me what you think.

watched him more than a few times. got very bored. schtick has been done. I know a few angry dry
drunks. yawn

The summation of many populist/progressive nitwits is usually where the sanity and calmness comes in. It is the other 90 percent of the rantings that are emational gibberish.

Doing well? Financially, sure. Audience wide? It'still cable and radio. A self selected audience...an amen choir.

Glenn Beck is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic.

Where is the 'recovery' with this man? From what I can tell Mr. Beck is nothing but an angry, loud mouthed blowhard who happens to have a microphone. Beck may be sober, but in recovery?

We all know people like him in real lifeam and very few people like them and what they say or do in public, but give them a microphone and IT is entertainment.

But is this entetainment worthy of entering the serious public debate? His message(s)...It's poisonous, devisive, alienating and obnoxious. Anyone know how to spell T-E-A B-A-G-H P-A-R-T-Y?

Maybe when the Lunatic Fringe on the Right takes over the GOP they will consider renaming their party the TB Party?

Excellent points.

Boy I can't wait about 8 years or so down the line when the Republican party MIGHT have a shot at the Presidency when they are in office...I wonder what his show, and others of that ilk, will be like then.

Outside of tossing your monkey pooh at passerbys, you don't seem to have much of a life.

Whenever there's a thread on evolution, I should say, "Look at Dante, do you really think he's THAT much advanced from a monkey at the Primate House in the old Bronx Zoo? How would you be able to tell the difference? They both fling their shit at people who walk by"

Beck makes little sense? There are millions of people who disagree with you. Perhaps you just lack the intellectual ability to understand what he is saying. I don't know why. He is probably one of the most articulate people I know.

What's irrational about looking at history and realizing that it's stupid to enlarge the government when it's never helped anything before? What's stupid about realizing the government cant ignore economic realities about borrowing and spending any more than anyone else can? What's stupid or difficult to understand about the Constitution?

Seriously, laugh all you want. But you are the one too stupid to understand him.

Credit? The man did less harm to society when he was drinking.

Using the Harm Reduction model...I'd say this man should go back to drinking. This way he would only be harming himself and his family (does he have one?), instead of harming the public arena of the nation.

Glenn Beck is a terrible person who just happens to be NOT drinking at the moment.

What kind of shit was he spouting at the CPAC conference and what does he spout on tv and radio? He's an asswipe.

I give him credit for kicking the booze, one of the most addictive substances known to man, though I suspect that like many chronic substance abusers her permanently altered his neurophysiology with his drinking.

I feel the same about Beck.

Glenn Beck is a weak willed emotinal cripple who gets to fall back on a failed progressive excuse for bad behavior...alcoholism as a disease.

I do not believe in the disease model of alcoholsim. It is part of the victimisation of America and the species.

I do not deny the physical and psychological and chemical aspects...only the disease model.

Beck gets no pass for doing what is right.

What a kook you are.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Oh look, another 'I'm obsessed with Beck' thread with absolutely no point. Wow. We don't see many of those around.

Obsessed? I will start another Beck thread just so you know others criticize the idiocies your pea brain partakes of.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

He is doing more with his time, than you are with yours.
Get a life.

and some people think he's dangerous

Bet he has a bigger bank account than you do and a much larger following...

When even conservative bigwig Bill Bennet agrees with me and not the Right Wing Lunatic Brigade @ USMB...you know you idiots here are following the wrong message.

Bill Bennett to Glenn Beck: There’s a Difference Between Drunk & Sober And There’s a Difference Between Dems & the GOP

Not everyone was impressed with Glenn Beck’s CPAC speech last night.
Bill Bennett hammered Glenn Beck for not being factual or fair with his facts. Glenn Beck spent a considerable amount of time scolding the GOP during his talk last night.

Beware: The Populist Unhinged Madness Virus (PUMVEE) IS SPREADING @ USMB.

Conservative BigWig Bill Bennett agrees.

I recently started a thread about Glenn Beck and his crazy alcoholic rant at the CPAC conference. I was attacked by the Right Wing Lunacy Brigade @ USMB. To a creep, they all agreed with Beck or thought he was at least credible.

Conservative mouthpiece Bill Bennett came to my defense.

Bennett criticized...

Beck as he spread his crazy, tinfoil hat, anti-government conspiracies, and denigrated the President of the United States as a racist, communist, socialist, Nazi dictator.

Bennett said...[/quote]There’s a lot to say about CPAC. This morning the major papers are highlighting Glenn Beck’s speech. I like Glenn a lot and I think he has something to teach us. But not what he offered last night.

The first task of a serious political analyst is to see things as they are...To ignore these differences, or propagate the myth that they don’t exist, is not only discouraging, it is dangerous.[/quote]

Wow. What Beck's doing is dangerous, wrote conservative Bennett.

But alas, Bennett's effort was no profiles in courage. Instead, Bennett's central beef with Beck -- the reason he's so dangerous -- was that at CPAC Beck suggested Democrats and Republicans are alike and they're both to blame the country's woes.

For uber-partisan Bennett, Beck finally crossed the line with that attack.

You know......Beck claims to be self educated (saw him say it at the CPAC speech), and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But......it helps to have a framework of education to build upon, as well as understanding the intent of what was written.

Remember when he claimed this country was great because of the 10 bucks people were paying to get here? He didn't read far enough to find out it was a 10 dollar tax on imported slaves.
