Why do progressive liberals hate Glenn Beck?

[freedombecki]

freedombeck, don't pin your understanding on Glenn Beck. He is not a charlatan at all, merely loony.

His philosophy is based on a misunderstanding of LDS political philosophy, a full acceptance of Cleon Skousena and JBS theories, and a commitment to prophetic Israel in the conservative Christian community.

If you are going to believe him, then study what he is basing his beliefs on.

Then you agree, we disagree.

I don't hate GB. I just have zero respect for the man. He's a conspiracy theorist who is also the most cynical of opportunists. He's a charlatan who not only makes vast sums of money on the false promise of enlightening his listeners about current events and their historical context, he misleads those trusting people and fills their minds with nonsense. It's a betrayal of trust.

And as anyone who's ever been betrayed by someone they trusted can tell you, that is a very bitter pill. But Beck's betrayal of the trust of tens of thousands of listeners is not the worst of Beck's offenses. Beck is betraying the very country he professes to love by misleading people purely to enrich himself.

Beck spreads unnecessary and unwarranted fear among his listeners and makes a mockery of their sincerely felt patriotism. I would put what Beck does on a par with someone who offers fake cures to people with serious illnesses, offering them false hope, only to take all their money even as he delays or prevents them from seeking legitimate treatments that could have saved their lives while there was still time.

That's a bitter pill indeed.

I agree that you do not understand Glenn and what his underpinning are and what he is about.

 

[freedombecki]

I don't hate him. I just think he's a charlatan.

Unfortunately he's not. He sticks with where facts take him. that isn't necessarily a good place for partisans on either side of the aisle.

He makes me cry, because a lot of his facts are already known to be true.

With so few people willing to face the truth, we will likely remain in a whole lot of hurt.

Indeed. ALL of his facts are tracable...and thier result is before our very eyes.

Becki? Some can't handle the truth because it flies in the face of thier adopted reailty/truth.

Yes, but watching Glenn Beck tell the truth that is drubbed to death by his detractors is a little like watching a duel between two people you care for, and thinking about losing either one of them is not my cup of tea. Making group inclusion centering around illegal drugs wasn't either.

There seems to be a push to destroy America from without and within. It first came to my attention when I read the book entitled "The Ugly American" by Eugene Burdick and William Lederer years ago. I knew how hard my father and uncles fought during WWII to come home with a win for the nation, and to see my country pilloried by them somehow didn't set well. Later on, I saw Americans saying bad things about America during the Vietnam War. It was a disappointment that made me pretty unhappy with people who had absolutely no heart for our men duking it out in a hot steamy jungle, facing a pretty horrendous death if they fell into an enemy's booby trap, and fighting for people who acted like they were losers while themselves were too smart and chic to concern themselves with national defense issues. I wasn't in the slightest interested in their theatre marches for pity for the enemy who'd have slit their throats ear to ear if encountered in a dark alley somewhere.

I guess it was drilled into me at an early age about sticks, stones, bones, and names not hurting. But these snotty rich kids demoralized our fighting men, and that made me unhappy when I heard about it.

Unfortunately, the left has honed this patronization to such a polish our men come home and within a few months commit suicide rather than to listen to the crap smeared on America by puerile, naive snotballs, some of who spew it from the podium of national or international television programming. When called on it, they hide behind the skirts of hyperbole and transfer it to other people's failure to have a sense of humor. There's nothing damn humorous about a police trip out to an apartment where an American soldier full of heroic resume, shot his brains all over the wall because nobody cares about how he feels, which would be lonely, misunderstood, and isolated by months of doing his duty.

I know Glenn Beck has some very good points, but I also know it takes something pretty bad to unify America. If he is a prophet, he sure is being dishonored by mobs of people who are too craven to be leaders in the world, so they pick blind leadership who invite people to avoid the harsh realities of existence while they are conniving ways to enrich themselves with all that tax money, heaping upon themselves huge salaries, benefits, expense accounts that make their salaries seem almost irrelevant, and the power to take millions of dollars and shower it on people they like rather than those who earned it and gave it up to Social Security and the IRS.

But this constant gnawing at freedoms by those who seek a different kind of government weakens the republic, the same as too much greed inflames those prone to jealousy because their parents don't take them to church to learn that covetousness is one of the big 10 things wise people do not pursue, like stealing, adultery, and bearing false witness.

If you believe Glenn to be a prophet, then you are lost.

I don't have to believe Glenn Beck, Jake. I lived through much of what he says. I know what he knows, because I've always stayed on top of current events. He's not a charlatan, he's not a loon, and he's not all that greedy. People respect him because he calls anti-Americans on the anti-Americanism, and the constant craven chip, chip, chipping away at people who do good with their lives, and not bad.

 

[JakeStarkey]

He is not a charlatan, he is not greedy, but he is a loon.

I fully understand his political and religious philosophies that have morphed into crazyville.

 

[freedombecki]

Don't patronize me. Save it for someone you can bs to death with your obvious inattention to the lavish lifestyle the Ninnyhammer Nancies of Congress heaping upon themselves and their relatives freebie flights at the expense of the National Defense Budget here and $1.3 Billion dollars in the form of Green company environment Budget to support a family member's stake there. Who pays?

The patsy taxpayers they make of us for their pleasure and enjoyment while patting themselves on the back with yes men all around them.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Talking with competency about something I fully understand is not being patronizing to you.

Romney is the correct choice for replacing Obama, while the moronic other candidates of the Far Right are not.

Romney is not and will not be lulled by the loony tunes of Beck.

I pray you are not both LDS and JBS. If you are, you are putting the temporal in front of the spiritual.

Very nicely written. ~Kudos.

The number one premise when looking at ANY issue is siding with FREEDOM, Liberty, and individual responsibility.

How Beck, and folks like you, and myself, and millions of us operate.

Not a foreign concept...but a basic and fundamental HUMAN one.

 

[The T]

Simple. He views everything through the prism of Truth, Integrity, Love, Freedom, Liberty.

The Progressives HATE him because he unmasks who they really are.

ALL his sources are verifiable.

ALL there is to it.

Glenn digs deep, deep into their shit and do you know what he found out,
their shit stinks, full of corruption, tax evaders, criminals, terrorist and a
bunch of community organizers. Don't forget the programs and bills that will
lead to a socialized America called hope & change...

Elections see Socialists, Nazis gain power in Europe

5/7/12

Did you pay attention to the international news from Europe this weekend? Just in case you missed it – Socialists have taken the presidency in France, Nazi’s just got 20% of parliament in Greece, and all signs point to the impeding collapse of the Euro, if not the entire European Union. But it’s just Europe! No need to worry. You’d have to be crazy to predict something like that having an impact on America….

“This is amazing to me. 20% of the vote in Greece went Nazi communist,” Glenn said. “Remember Hitler got in on 30%.”

Meanwhile, France elected it’s first Socialist President in decades as they ousted center right incumbent Sarkozy.

The elections are largely seen as a response to austerity measures in the European countries facing increasing economic turmoil.

“They’re talking today all about austerity, that the austerity measures are over. Well, what is austerity? Austerity isn’t just budget cuts. Austerity is budget cuts coupled with crippling taxes. If you did budget cuts, serious budget cuts and tax cuts at the same time, that’s the Tea Party method. It is reduce the size of government and reduce the burden on people. They don’t want that option to be heard. They don’t want that option to be known. And you see it over in Greece, you see it in France. You’re about to see it over in England. You’re seeing it everywhere. You’re seeing it in Spain. The only option: High taxes, low spending. Well, that’s not working.”

Glenn noted that the scariest element out of the weekend was the election and legitimizing of the Nazi party in Greece. Glenn played audio of the Nazi victors meeting with the press and demanding that they rise and recognize them with the same respect they would other elected officials. The press complied.

“I can’t believe that we’re actually talking about ‑‑ remember that was a crazy conspiracy,” Glenn said.

Oh, is he still around? I didn't know.

Why do progressive liberals hate Glenn Beck?

Maybe this has already been stated. I have not read the thread, but progressives hate everyone that does not believe just like they believe.
