Glenn Beck?

[WillowTree]

I've caught his show on occasion, but don't see why he has everyone in an uproar? Most of what he says you can find elsewhere via Google News, with a less-dramatic spin.

I'm trying to understand what it is about him that polarizes people.

You are kidding of course. You of course know why everyone is talking about him...(but I am sure his audience is not growing, he already had a huge bunch of Fox idiots watching. His base is not growing.)

He called the president a racist. 46 sponsors didn't agree and pulled their advertisements from his show. The problem is, they didn't leave Fox so Beck will be fine eventually.

I think the President proved to the whole country that he's a racist when he stated on National tv he didn't have the facts of the case but the Cambridge police were stupid for arresting his black friend. You can't sit in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years and not adopt the same way of thinking... It came back to haunt him.

You mean his chickens are roosting?

 

[eagleseven]

The's President cannot be racist, because he is black.

He's self-admittedly racialist.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

I have a thread for people that have a strong negative opinion of Glenn Beck, here are the sample videos , complete beck shows not creatively edited clips .

Please explain what is wrong with what he says, note the time and
video that you have a problem with and bring your facts to refute
Beck statements and prove they are lies ,

You'll get different answers from different people, all dependent on their particular political point of view. My best suggestion would be for you to tune in and watch him for a week or two, decide for yourself.

Even odds that she's related to Kerry Won Ohio....

 

[HUGGY]

What's the deal? Why is nearly every liberal site I visit obsessed with him? Why is everyone talking about him?


What is he doing that is drawing so much attention?

because he is target number one. he is exposing the obama team for the communist/marxist regime it is. they cannot stand truth.

Ya...communist/Marxist.....Ya that's the ticket.... It's like asking somebody when they stopped beating thier wife. They can't fight it. It's perfect!

Willow...If that's your real name... Why do you hate america? And don't flip stupid. Every bit of energy you apply to this messageboard is dedicated to negativity. Have you even stopped for a moment to consider that ever since the neo con division of the republican party has taken over that enterprise that they have done NOTHING for the average american. Screw all that trickle down bullshit. Name one thing those people have done for Mr and Mrs average american. So here is the question..If you cannot in your own mind answer that question... why do you support them? Carefull...don't get sidetracked...this has nothing to do with Obamma.

Did you forget?

Socialism as a movement was started by the IWA in 1864, led by Mr. Marx and Mr. Eccarius. They had their first political breakthrough by forming the German Social Democracy Party in 1875.

Thus, all modern forms of socialism, including Social Democracies, can be traced back to Karl Marx.


Don't be ashamed, own up to your intellectual heritage.

The answer is pretty simple, his ratings (like most media) were slacking, so they needed to drum up some new viewers. So, they leaked out some information at a perfect time (the number of advertisers who, for some reason or other, chose to change time slots) thus creating a faux outrage. This outrage caused chatter on the internet, driving his ratings sky high. It's a new tactic that has proven successful for many other shows, Rush Limbaugh was a glowing success of this tactic, so is any newscast that shows Obama speeches.

Well, it seems like 46 sponsors of Beck disagree. These are huge sponsors by the way, but you go ahead and keep thinking what you are told.

You do realize that in order to be a sponsor of Beck, they actually have to sponsor him to begin with right?

It's not like this hasnt been pointed out to you before. Now your just being dishonest.

They left me alone...which is exactly what I want from government. I'm a grown man and do not request the government to do anything for me unless it's required of them by the constitution.

I was told by the dems that my taxes wouldn't go up over and over and over...then the first thing the Obama administration did was jack up the taxes on my smokes by a huge amount.

Now, before the posts saying "well, you shouldn't smoke anyway" start...As an "average American" ...that's my choice, and as long as it's legal, it's not up to anyone else and certainly not up to a federal government that manipulates the tax code on items it decides that it does not like.

 

[bigtoad]

And for the actual thread topic...as I write this, the top four threads in this forum have Beck's name in the subject.
I remember seeing him when he was a nobody on that little Headline News channel. Love him or hate him...he seems to be doing pretty well for himself now.
It seems like the more that a group of people try to demonize something or someone, the more popular they become.

 

[JW Frogen]

Glenn Beck gives me hope, one can be a fanatical ideologue and still get great ratings and make lots of fanatical mullah.

 

[Zoom-boing]

if you dont have the capacity to realize that czar is just a term given to the guy who is put in charge of somthing then i cant really explain it to you, and obama did not originate using the term czar in this manner.

Not 'put in charge' of something. Exercising great authority or power.

czar – noun
1. an emperor or king.
2. (often initial capital letter) the former emperor of Russia.
3. an autocratic ruler or leader.
4. any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field:

These czars were subject to no vetting process and were hand-picked and appointed by Obama, they answer to no one but Obama, they can not be brought before congress to be questioned on anything, and they have untold authority and power. Self-admitted communists have this power; these people are radicals. And you're ok with it all?

Have you even looked into their backgrounds? Jones, Emanuel, Sunstein, Holdren, Lloyd, etc. Do some homework and open your mind and your eyes.

You are a fool. They didn't leave you alone. While you were dissengaged they took away your choices of ownership in media...local tv stations have all been bought up... they caused the finanacial meltdown by deregulation. Credit cards are now loan sharks.. while you were sleeping medicine ..you know ...the pharms...can legaly steal. and on and on...

Oil makes billion yet they got billions in handouts on top of thier profits and with a little manipulation got the barrel price over a hundred and we got fucked at the pump. How'd that "do nothing" work for ya? I could go on all day ...

Like I said ...you are a fool..an ignorant one at that.
