why the left hates glen beck

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.

Nobody on this end is whining.

Where you remember the left quoting him back then I remember his hate filled anti-muslim go-go GWOT rants. He might have been quoted by them occasionally but he was far from the darling you describe.
 
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.


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.

Yes, the #1 cable news show is FOX News! Wooo Hooo!!!
And yes, they are conservative in nature, but all sides get a voice on FOX News. ( here come the attacking comments .... ) But let us keep in mind that all walks of life have tuned into FOX News to hear the truth, which in turn skyrockets their ratings. Liberals, conservatives and yes ... independents!

I never called him the darling of the left, I said that the left thought he was great when he went after Bush - and that is fact. They quoted him endlessly on various issues when he criticised Bush's Admin.

Here's my problem now.... The left rabidly attack Beck - no matter what - they claim everything he says now is lies, bullshit, blah blah blah. Now, if he was good enough for the left to quote as a source back in the Bush days, then he is good enough to recognize now. You cannot have it both ways. That is just logic.

I'm not saying the guy is always right BUT he is good at what he does, he was absolutely accurate about Van Jones.... He is absolutely accurate about the links between Obama, his Adminstration, socialists, marxists, communists, etc, etc, etc.

Those links exist. They are there for anyone with internet access, intellect and some time to make for themselves.

Instead of shooting the messenger - attack the message. If you are comfortable with socialism, marxism and communism becoming an acceptable part of our political system, fine. Argue your case but don't deny it because that makes you look stupid. I know you are not a stupid person, Article.

Beck is certainly good at what he does but don't take that too closely to heart. Connections and links don't necessarily mean what Beck makes them out to be. Beck is a master of loosely tying things together to paint a picture of the worst possible scenario. It's like he's blowing a bubble ... at first it's tight, well constructed and solid but the more hot air he blows it the bubble becomes less stable and uniform, it's protrudes out the sides, and eventually pops.

And yet, I have seen nothing - factual - from the left to break the links he is currently making. Why not?

He rarely defines how people should think. He gathers information, links it together and asks questions.

I believe in asking questions. Even if I don't like the answers. I would rather have fact than opinion. Beck is very good at facts.... he draws his conclusions and he asks questions. I draw my own conclusions - sometimes they match his, sometimes they do not. And I ask questions too. I can't count how many emails the WH have had from me. Never get answers though. So much for OPEN and TRANSPARENT government.... And, so much for Obama and his instruction to Americans abroad to be part of the process of government. When he was over here he spoke to Americans living in Europe and instructed us that it was our duty to participate. Well, I'm participating - I'd quite like him to meet his end of the bargain. So far, he has not.
 
ANYONE who says that one of their two favorite political philosophers is Mao deserves no position inside a government that is a constitutional republic.

She must have had her fingers crossed when she took the oath. Not honorable.
 
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.

Pity and Dismissal viewed as Fear and Loathing--Nosmo may have something here.
 
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.

That's pathetic and indefensible.


Pull out these "Love letters from the Kremlin", why don't you!! The commies have people to identify and shoot!!

What are you talking about?
 
Those links exist. They are there for anyone with internet access, intellect and some time to make for themselves.

Others have connected the dots, it's not just Beck.


ACORN Part I: Rathke, ACORN, SEIU, the Tides Foundation

Indeed.... Fortunately, Beck has a HUGE viewership. It's no wonder the Administration is afraid of him. LOL. I would be too!

Sadly, we have replaced one Admin who answered to big business special interest with one that answers to 'community organization' special interest groups.

What we need is one that has only one special interest group..... '"We, The People".

Beck better watch his back or he's going to turn up dead.

Absolutely!!!
 
For those that refer to Beck as a fear monger...exactly what has he pointed out to the public that is inaccurate?

Pointing out that certain individuals in the white house have praised Chavez as a hero, Mao as one of two favorite political philosophers, Castro as a bright and insightful person, admit to be intrigued with communism, believe in forced sterilization, and so on will create fear, yes....but is that the messangers fault?

Sure, he does it in an entertaining way with faux tears and an "alert" atmosphere....but the truth is the truth, and to be frank....we should be afraid.

He is not creating the fear...he is simply spreading the fear....but th people that Obama surrounds himself with are the ones creating the fear...

Or....simply tell me exactly what Beck says that is untrue
 
my theory: because he isnt a liberal

Because he is right

Because he cares and loves his country
I don't "hate" Glenn Beck, I laugh at Glenn Beck. He's an ex-shock jock who has found a way to make a shitload of money off of gullible goobers who will grasp at any "evil" conspiracy theory that validates their simpleminded populist political beliefs.

Gee, one of my favorite eastern philosophers is Lao (as in Lao Tzu) - does that make me a budding eastern despot?

Ummm. Political philosophers. How absurd. And, gee, do you work at the highest levels of our government and did you have to take an oath to do so?

Glenn Beck serves a purpose for the left. Along with Boss Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity the left gets to paint them as the face of the republican party. They get to say "If you support the republicans....here is what you support'

I say let him spout
