why the left hates glen beck

[ddye]

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

Here's what Beck does:

"Now I don't have ALL of the facts, and I'm not saying this is true, as a matter of fact, I HOPE it's not true, but I do have evidence that Obama is a Martian Shapeshifter bent on the enslavement of earthlings. Again, please believe me when I say that I sincerely hope this story isn't true."

And then he'll have some half baked nitwit conspiracy theorist to back up his "evidence".

And no, I wouldn't waste the time "rebutting" that self serving, weepy-for-dollars crap machine. Jeez, the guy said that Obama hated white people, then two minutes later said that Obama didn't hate white people...

[Oldandtired]

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.

Doug

Doug...I do not listen to conspiracy theories...that is for those looking to be entertained. Likewise, I do not listen to "hear say".....but I have seen the flim clips of these people....and Beck is fair as he allows the entire clip to run so it can not be taken out of context...and I gotta tell you...something ois very strange with the people he has around him.

Case in counter-point - did I call him a fear monger? Why deride me for not providing evidence to support someone's else's post?

Apparently you need to re-site that lil' mud-slinger of yours ..........

Hey old and tired - hope you are well today.

Doug

Actually, Doug, no that's not what he does.

He says 'Here's what I KNOW, and here's what I THINK.... and then he asks 'could that mean Obama is a Martian Shapeshifter bent on the destruction of earthlings?'

There's a big difference. One is making a statement based on some fact, the other is asking a question based on the evidence at hand.

Do try to think logically.

Doug

No Doug...he airs FULL clips on what people say......and he offers FULL pages out of books they have written....and then, YES...he draws up a conclusion of conspiracy.....But I listen to the clips and I listen the the book excerpts....and I say to myself.....300 million poeple in America...and so few with such far radical views....and THEY are the ones he chooses?

It is strange...a conspiracy? No. That is for those looking for entertainment....but strange? VERY.

my theory: because he isnt a liberal

Because he is right

Because he cares and loves his country

Actually, the reason is much simpler. He's a hatemonger.

Our country doesn't need that kind of "love".

Hey old and tired - hope you are well today.

But the question is.....exactly what FACTS has he presented that are untrue?
Conspiracy? That is assumption...noit fact....but as for the facts.....exactly what is not true?

But please...tell me what he states as fact that is not true?
Have you listeened to the speeches of some of Obama's administration?
Beck spreads the fear...yes....but it is the poeple Obama surrounds himself with that creates the fear.

No, he creates it by taking seemingly inocuous bits of material, questioning them in a manner that insinuates something henious and building on it without regard to integrity or accountability or truth. What he does is exactly what some of his detractors did back to him in the "Glenn Beck killed and raped a young girl" rumor experiment.

I just said he's a clown who is an embarassment to the people who find themselves in agreement with his positions. Want me to justify that? Ok ...... wait ....... just lemme get these tears out of my eyes......

I've already done that.

He stated that Van Jones was involved in the Rodney King riots and arrested for it. Untrue.

He stated that Jennings covered up the statuatory rape of a 15 yr old. Again, not true.

Beck turns ordinary material into something to be afraid of. Like "death panels", and not being allowed to choose your own doctor etc etc.

If Beck had been a leftwing pundit - he would have Bush on dias with Hitler. How is that for ridiculous fear mongering? It's been done.

I was asking you becuase you refer to him as a hatemonger so I assumed you watch him......or how would you know he is a hatemonger...
I am aware you did not say he lied.....

but to be frank......I, too, despise ANYONE who supports political philosophies of Mao...and I also despise those that parise Castro...and I too loathe those that offer accolades to Cahvez..

SO I do not see him as a hate monger...I see him as one that loathes what many loathe....those that murder in cold blood...and yes, I loathe anyone who praises such people.

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.

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.

Measuring Beck's veracity against Nielsen ratings is like saying Foghat made better music than Mozart based on album sales.

Van Jones WAS arrested and the charges were dropped.
He never said Jennings covered it up...what he said was that Jennings never reported the "rape" to authorities.
As for healthcare....I read the original bill...and I too saw it strange with the "end of life" counseling.....
And by the way....HE called for the impeachment of Bush.

Still, folks seem passive about a woman at the highest level of our constitutional democracy who is on tape as saying one of her favorite political philosophers is Mao.

Do try to think logically.

Look, as far as his "evidence"...

People need to realize that in this day and age, there are smart people on both sides who specialize in manufacturing great sounding talking points, and manufacturing supporting "evidence" out of bits and pieces of the whole. Both sides do it.

Beck uses those smart people to weave convincing sounding theories. Lots of people in the media do that. Beck just seems to have the market cornered on goobers who desperately want to believe the absolute worst things possible about the other side.
