why the left hates glen beck

What, no takers? Figures. They can never answer this but instead duck and dodge by taking pot shots at Beck.

Case in point:

Hate him? ......... HATE him ....... no no - I'm crying because I LOVE him SOOOOOOO much

He's a useful fool the left can use to discredit the right with
or ANYONE can use to discredit ANYTHING he supports

He's just a clown - who HATES a clown??????

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.

Did I SAY you called him a fear monger? Learn to read. I SAID you leftists come on and DUCK AND DODGE instead of answering questions like Old and Tired (among many others) post. Old and Tired's question was: tell me exactly what Beck says that is untrue. Did you answer it? NO, you just called Beck a clown and blah, blah, blah, which is the typical response.

Part of the quote you orginally posted - you know, the part you edited out for THIS post - began with a statement about folks calling him a fear monger.

If you did not consider that part of the quote applicable when you applied it to me, I wonder why you didn't edit it out THAT time like you did THIS time.........

points to ponder indeed ........

As a matter of fact I did.

I see you still haven't re-sited that lil' ol' mud slinger of yours. Please scroll back a bit and you'll see the links I posted. Being the upstanding and honest poster that you are, I'm sure you'll feel compelled to apologize to me. I probably won't be here as I have to run - so I'll accept it now and assure you - no hard feeling.

I call him a hate-monger based on my opinion of what he is saying. That is hardly name calling. He is using deliberate distortions in an attempt to - do what? Create hatred towards his targets? A mob mentality? I've given numerous examples. If I were name calling I'd be calling him a moron, Retardican, conservitard and a host of similar stupid things.

"He is right" - well, that is a matter of opinion. "He loves his country". That is debatable and a matter of opinion. He has a strange way of showing it.

Hate is a very strong word that gets thrown around alot. He certainly is trying to stir up anger, no doubt about that. But anger can be a good thing, espeically if its over an injustice or something that is morally wrong. That is certainly the case with these "czars".

People should be outraged that open communists and appeasers are now so high up in our government. This country over the last century stood up against communism and we lost a lot of people in that confrontation. But we prevailed. Some of us actually like to remember what a real threat communism was, and still is.

Beck: "Speak Without Fear & Question Boldly "

Day 1

• Can we survive this debt? If yes, how?

• Why the rush on health care reform, cap-and-trade?

• Who is writing these bills?

• Will Washington read and understand the bills?

• Why are you called "grassroots" if you are for, but "Astroturf" if you are against?

• Our unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?

• We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and health care programs before we stop the flow of red ink?

• The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN: How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?

• If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent six months later?

• Former President Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them; how exactly does that work?

• Why won’t member of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

• Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?

• Was the "cash for clunkers" program meant to save the Earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?

• How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special adviser to the president?

• Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special adviser?

• The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill; why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

• If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?

• If the "public option" health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?

• If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?

• Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?

• Why would you want to overwhelm the system?

• Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about not letting a crisis go to waste?

• What are the president's "czars" paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

Day 2

• Who is "surrounding" the president in the White House?

• Do any of the president's advisers have criminal records?

• Are the president's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?

• Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

• What role do they have in crafting bills?

• What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders; where are they now?

• What qualifications must one have to be a presidential adviser?

• What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?

• Do the "czars" have power?

• Should a communist have the ear of the president of the United States?

• What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?

• Does the president know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?

• How many people in the administration are connected to the Movement for a Democratic Society?

• What role does George Soros play... constitutionally?

Day 3

• Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?

• Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves?

• Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?

• Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?


• Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?

• Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?

• Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine — that helps support public broadcasting:

• What will be the definition of "public interest"?

• Who defines "public interest"?

• Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)

Day 4

• Why do we need a civilian force?

• Who is posing a threat to us?

• Who will this "force" be made up of?

• Who is the real enemy?

• Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

• Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

Beck lied when he said that no president has ever been sworn into office without swearing on the Bible. Quincy Adams didn't.

Beck lied when he said that the US was the ONLY country that had a natural birthright provision.

I mean do you need anymore because that whole program is like 49 minutes of total falsehood. If he's not lying or bitching he's crying. How do you even call him a rightwing talk show host when he comes off as such a whinning homo? I dislike any grown man that gets on live national television and cries because he's scared of socialism.

You're an idiot. I didn't edit anything. I quoted Old and Tired's post #35 on page 3 and put in my comment (post #42, page 3) about the lefists ducking and dodging rather than answering questions. I put it in because I was referring to what I HAD BOLDED IN HIS POST, which WASN'T the 'fear mongering' part. LEARN TO READ.

BTW, see the part in your quote above that I bolded? THAT'S the part I am responding to.

I'll take your silence as an apology for being a ninny.
 
Of course he's a fear-monger.

His entire career is based on making people terribly afraid of the imaginary impending doom of some socialist iron curtain descending upon the country. It's laughable.

He talks about "czars" as though they're anything like their communist Russian equivalent or as though, you know, they weren't an invention of the conservative-beloved Reagan Administration and had no actual executive authority of any kind, only an advisory role.

He acts as though the "Green Jobs Czar," a highly-qualified expert on green jobs, having whatever political leanings he did matters one iota or is going to affect the country.

He acts as though the minuscule little community service organization ACORN, which received ~3 million dollars of government funding a year, or in the last 20 years combined roughly what Halliburton was paid by the government EVERY SINGLE DAY since the start of the Iraq War, an organization that primarily helps poor people pay their bills and provides bare minimum social services to impoverished people has some Washington power or influence and has a nefarious plot or any ability to take over the country or influence an election.

Acts as though a few ACORN employees filling out phony voter registration forms like "Mickey Mouse" so that they get a bonus from their employer, something ACORN itself caught and brought to public attention, is some grand scheme to stuff ballots, as though it has any actual impact on the election at all unless a 6-foot-tall talking mouse shows up on election day.

Acts as though Obama, who on nearly every issue has merely upheld the status quo and continued the policies of the Bush Administration with at best superficial, insignificant changes and pretty rhetoric justifying it, is a far-far-left secret anarcho-communist-fascist-Marxist-Kenyan-Muslim rather than a totally establishment politician beholden to the same corporate interests as every other president of the last 40 years whose policies reflect just that.

Acts as though the country is on the verge of collapse not because of our endless devotion to expansionist overseas warfare or utter dependence upon corporations who have their own profit margins rather than the public good in mind and who have bought our entire representative political body wholesale to ensure that profit, but because Obama's supposedly gonna take away your guns and bible and paycheck and freedom and give them to black people and illegal immigrants.

Acts as though a 3% increase in the top income tax bracket is "sociulizm!" when it's still lower than it was under Reagan, far lower than it was under Nixon, and 60% lower than it was under Eisenhower, nowhere near the 80-90% it was for most of our country's history since we started collecting income tax but is rather a very modest increase over the lowest level in 60 years that returns it to a still quite low and non-progressive, wealthy-friendly level.

He actually said he thinks universal healthcare, something every developed nation in the world has but the U.S., something that has proven in every country its been implemented to be considerably more cost-effective and effective, is a form of reparations.

He actually said that the half-white president who was raised by his white mother and white grandparents and filled his cabinet with white people has a "deep-seated hatred of white people."

You think he's not a fear-monger? He wept like a little girl with a skinned knee as he worried outloud about "loving my country and fearing for it" for all the wrong reasons. He started a campaign to get everyone to live in a perpetual state of fear, chaos, and confusion like they did the day after we suffered the most significant terrorist attack in our nation's history.

The dude is a disingenuous phony, both an intentional liar on many issues and woefully misinformed on many others, and absolutely an unrepentant fear-monger, that's his number one tactic and approach to everything he says and does: "Listen to me because I've got some very dire news about X, be afraid, be very afraid...and buy my book."

Yep, that sure sounds like "FEARMONGERING" to me!

What it is, is an example of QUESTIONS that all americans WHO TRULY LOVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY should be asking right now.

Obama and his administration are desperately trying to take this country down a path that will lead to the demise of everything that has made, and continues to make this country great. We cannot let this happen. They must be stopped, at all costs.

Great posts Mr.!

on of the instances I questioned earlier - the part that really got to me was his insistence, "I checked."
Now if he really HAD checked he would have realized it wasn't true.
I can understand an honest mistake - but saying "I checked" when he was obviously aware that he had not - goes beyond that imho.

No - my post of the links (1:32 p.m.) came LONG before your very recent claim that I hadn't answered the question (3:05 p.m.). Is that an honest mistake or a deliberate lie?

Your post saying "I'll take your silence as an apology for being a ninny" AFTER I posted that I have to run, is telling. Is that a tactic employed by an honest poster? That appears to provide strong evidence on my previous question regarding honest mistake or deliberate lie.

You might have a point there, I'll give you that. But I look at it from what he says. Even when it's not an outright lie it's deliberate distortions - hooking together things to make a person look like he or she believes or does or says something terrible.

For example Dunn and Mao - look at what she actually said and look at what Glenn Beck said about it. It's using tactics of fear - fear of communist inroads into our government or homosexuals taking over our schools with some sort of hidden agenda to foment anger and it's a fine fine line between fear and anger, and anger and hate and acting on it. It doesn't take much to push a group of people over that line. Look at McCain/Palin's inciting their supporters by insinuating Obama supported terrorists. Freedom of the press is power but with it comes responsibility that is often shirked these days. Why doesn't Beck simply state the facts? He doesn't - he tries to craft a message and if the facts don't fit, he'll find other material to attach to it to make it sound better.

In the end: is it rightous anger or bitter partisanship - a partisanship that refused to give anything to the president - whether it's a SCOTUS nominee, policy advisors or credit when he's handled something well.

People should be outraged that open communists and appeasers are now so high up in our government. This country over the last century stood up against communism and we lost a lot of people in that confrontation. But we prevailed. Some of us actually like to remember what a real threat communism was, and still is.

Communism is largely dead. It's a failed economic system and the only remaining countries that are communist are either experimenting with a free market economy or heavily propt up by other countries. People need to get past an irrational fear of it - because that is what it is. Stirring up Marxist/Communist fears smacks more of a desperation on the part of the right to find anything - no matter how minor or long ago, and blow it up out of proportion and out of context.
