why the left hates glen beck

[actsnoblemartin]

my theory: because he isnt a liberal

Because he is right

Because he cares and loves his country

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

We don't hate Glenn Beck. We are amused by him for one reason alone, he appears to be nuts.

yes, I guess to a communist he does appear nuts. I can see that.

 

[California Girl]

They hate him because he is dangerous. When he goes after an individual, he makes damned sure he has verifiable facts to back up what he says. He has a pretty good research team behind him. Millions of people watching him simply because he comes across as a decent, and flawed, man. American like decent, flawed, people. Because mainly we are decent, flawed, people. So they relate to him. He is the epitome of what we admire - a self made man who has made mistakes, put them right, admitted them and used his experience to make him a better human being.

 

[PatekPhilippe]

One has to understand Glen Beck. He doesn't take his opportunity to express his feelings about America lightly. Beck knows what Americans want to hear about and Americans know that Beck has got their back. NO OTHER HOST OF ANY SHOW CAN CLAIM THIS....NOT A SINGLE ONE. He is the ONLY news commentator who has COMMON SENSE and isn't beholden to anyone on the right OR left. In my book...Beck is a class act. When I watch his show I know that I will hear about things that are important to thinking Americans who are tired of the bullshit coming from Washington.

Right. The Left HATES Glenn Beck. The Left FEARS Sarah Palin.

Justifications to ward off the truth. The Conservative desperately want to believe this HATE and FEAR mantra. While the truth is closer to PITY and DISMISS.

Beck is a classic fear monger in the Morton Downey, Jr./Father Coughlin mold. They precise kind of demagogue the Conservatives have always been drawn to. Laughably ignorant, this variety of 'pundit' appeals to those who know deep down that their political stances are on shaky social grounds and untenable economic grounds. Letting the insurance companies, for example, continue to raise premiums, deny service and raise premiums just to avoid what they wish to call "Socialism" is a great example of how untenable the Conservative stance is.

Conservatives equate "freedom' with exploitation; "liberty" with profit and "Capitalism" with mercantilism. They think Sarah 'the quitter' Palin is qualified intellectually and practically to run the United States of America!

The Left neither hates nor fears the champions of the Right. We pity them and are incredulous as to why they are popular with what we hope are decent, smart people on the Right.

 

[rightwinger]

Hate him?

Beck is very good at what he does. Appealing to a simplistic love America but hate Americans viewership

The Republicans took talk radio away from liberals....now they are taking television away from liberals and soon the internet will be taken away also.

Oh..by the way...check Beck's ratings...they are going up up up.....once again progressivism will be relegated to the trash heap of politics where it belongs.

No, Beck is a Boat Rocker. He doesn't monger fear, he asks questions. That the questions are too hard for the government to answer honestly is not his fault. That blame lies squarely in Washington....

Beck hammered Bush too. No lefties whined about him then - so why all of a sudden is he the bad guy? LOL.

LOL at the Palin shit - Palin is, I am sure, a nice person but qualifed to govern this country - OVER MY COLD, DEAD, BODY!

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

No, you are right, we are all terrified at the power and mind of Glenn Beck. You've caught us.

Glenn Beck is there to make more money period.

All his little hysterics are no more than something to get ratings.

As to the facts, if you defend him on that, you don't know what facts are.

Change the word hate to: pathetic little Limbaugh wanna be.

But, but, but..... he was always bang on accurate about Bush! At least, he was according to the left - who loved him then.

Now that he's going after your boy, it's all booo hoooo.

Stupidity will not be covered by any Public Option. You need to cure yourself.

I do believe that is one of the funniest comments I've read.
How is it that republicans are taking television away from liberals? By 'conservatives' having a voice on FOX News? Why are you so threatened? The remainder of news stations and programming are mainly liberal?

As far as taking away the internet goes ... my fear lies with Obama. I believe HE wants control over the internet. Last I looked, he was a far-left liberal.

It's used in a sense that the television news shows that have the highest viewership are now conservative in nature....namely Fox News. The Democrats mastered the internet quite early.....I believe Dean was a pioneer in internet fund raising and laid the ground work for Obama in Dean's '04 campaign. The Rep's are fast learners. They are making significant strides in the use of the internet to influence the masses.....perhaps this is why Obama wants to control it as you put it.

Libs hate Beck because he exposes them with their own quotes, often with video. In this day and age where almost everything is on tape and stored online its getting easier and easier to dig up dirt on people. And nobody has more skeletons in their closets than these liberal politicians, they practically shoot themselves in the foot whenever they open up their mouths and speak honestly from their communist sympathizing hearts.

It is the hypocracy that I find laughable.

During the Bush Admin, the left quoted Beck time after time, praised him and thought he was great for calling Bush on every issue.

Now he's doing it to them, it's an outrage.

That's pathetic and indefensible.

Beck wasn't liked by the left back then either.

Let's not pretend that he treated each administration the same.

LOL. He was quoted and used as a source by the left time and time again. You know that. I know that. Anyone who paid attention to politics back in the day knows that.

It's ridiculous to now criticize the man when even politicians on the left quoted Beck as a source. The reason why politicians on both sides dislike the man is because he is difficult to counter - because he is very good at backing up what he says.

Whine about it if you want but that's the truth. Live with it.

I'm sure he didn't treat Bush the same because Bush didn't fill his administration with a bunch of communist misfits.
