Posted: 10/3/2009 7:21:48 AM | I love this thread! :) 4 pages of hysteria over Glenn Beck! Obviously he's doing something right! 
Say what you will about the man, but he gets the credit for exposing Obama's Csars like Van Jones, for exposing the propaganda in the NEA, for taking down ACORN, for getting the word out on the 9/12 rally, the list goes on and on... The more Van Jones and his liberal cronies goes after his advertisers, the more viewers he gets... No wonder the left is going "toys in the attic crazy" over him :)
The man is a true patriot in every sense of the word...  | |

Your being serious? 
If you think Joseph McCarthy is a "patriot" then you would think beck is one too.There one and the same in there tactics.
The guy is a buffoon who will do or say anything outrageous to make a buck and the simpleton's among us lap it up like a dog dying of thirst! | |

Meanwhile, the rest of us will continue to educate ourselves and try to find reasonable solutions to complex issues. | |

I look at Glen Beck as a catalyst he says off the wall things about people, bills and organizations. When he does this it makes me want to investigate further. I Read the bills visit the websites of the organizations and people in question. Its interesting because a lot of what he says is extreme and wacky but most of it has a modicum of truth. That is why when he misspoke about the Olympics the Left went nuts and so did the White house because they have to undermine his credibility because their is some truth in much of what he says which is problematic for Obama and his administration. | |

A patriot? Would a patriot encourage states to secede from the Union?

My definition of someone who would be promoting the breakup of a country would be a traitor. I certainly wouldn't call him a patriot. | |

Well it seems that Glen Beck, the station he is with, and Lou Dobbs are the only people as of late bringing forth any type of investigative information on what is happening with our country. The ACORN scandal is a great example of what we see and don't see on most so-called news shows, such as ABC, NBC, and CBS. Lou Dobbs and Fox were the only ones talking about it for weeks.
Glen might be a bit radical in the way he presents information on the current government but what he presents has truth within it. Truth like I just said we don't seem to be getting from anyone else in the media. You know the people who are supposed to be presenting national and local news stories to us.
Glen is not much different from a lot of American. Most Americans want an honest government that works for the people as they should and this is what Glen has been and is pushing for.
For years he spoke out against Bush, and now its Obama due to the unpatriotic way they have been trying to run our government . This year alone Glen has been responsible for Americans taking second look at the Obama Czars (two resigned so far) and a long overdue governmental look at the long time corrupt organization of ACORN. There are many more areas that Glen has been on target with, but at this time the Czars and ACORN stick out.
But it's not just Bush and Obama he has/is speaking out against, it's all the dishonest people/officials in DC that are not doing what their constituents have been and are asking for.
It would be nice to have more newscasters/commentators that were more worried about their country and what is truly happening. It actually would be nice to have some newscasters/commentators that one could truly call patriotic like Glen Beck, Glen's station of Fox and Lou Dobbs. It's really sad that it's from our professed news commentators that we get the real news and get nothing from the alleged newscasters.

Posted: 10/3/2009 8:47:16 AM | The ACORN 'scandal' is overblown. It involves a fraction of the people who work for ACORN, and sadly, the 'scandal' will affect thousands of families who need help.
Gosh, thanks, Glenn Beck. You massive ass.
Beck isn't a hero. He threw enough darts and finally hit the target--not a bullseye, but the board.
Who DOESN'T want 'an honest government'? Seriously?
This statement is the best example of 'are you fricking SERIOUS?!' I have ever read/seen/heard:
...what he presents has truth within it.
'...truth within it...' WTF.
It doesn't have to BE the truth, as long as there is a modicum of 'truth within'.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the HUGE difference between those who act and those who REact. | |

Actually if you listen to the post above yours He is promoting the idea of states seceding from the union lets see wasn't this tried once before?Deaths During the Civil War
Union Confederacy
Total forces 1,556,678 1,082,119
Deaths from Wounds 110,070 94,000
Deaths from Disease 249,458 164,000
Death Rate 23 percent 24 percent
Wounded 275,175 100,000
Anyone sane want's an honest government.Beck is definately not a person to be taken seriously.
Here is a little more on this" patriot of the truth"
Beck praises constitutional provision protecting slave trade
Beck praises "Migration or Importation" tax provision in taking cheap shot at "immigrants." In the chapter, Beck reprints and then praises Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 of the Constitution. Beck specifically highlights in yellow the phrase "ten dollars for each person":
Section 9. The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
That's right, the Founders actually put a price tag on coming to this country: $10 per person. Apparently they felt like there was a value to being able to live here. Not anymore. These days we can't ask anything of immigrants -- including that they abide by our laws. [Arguing with Idiots, Page 278]
Provision Beck praised actually "barred Congress from ending the international slave trade before 1808." As noted by Yale Law School professor Akhil Reed Amar: "To make matters worse, despite the new Congress's general Article I, section 8 power over international commerce, section 9 barred Congress from ending the international slave trade before 1808. By that time, the Deep South hoped to have enough extra muscle in Congress, based on white migration and slave importation, to thwart any possible antislavery constitutional amendments and perhaps even to weaken any proposed ban on further slave importation. ... [T]he 1808 date itself was exempt from constitutional amendment under Article V." [Amar, America's Constitution: A Biography, Page 91]

Besides supporting the "Migration or Importation" tax provision, he believes slave owners were the victims.... slaves rode around in wagons singing.............
Anyone believing the "FACTS" Beck puts out is headed for troubled thinking..........
I like the Vicks Vapor Rub under the eyes so he can tear up.......
He is a Fake................... | |

I hope you really aren't relying on these two bozos for your information. You are going to get a real screwed up view of things. Even conservatives are calling out Beck as the clown he is.
On MSNBC Tuesday morning, host Joe Scarborough joined the growing group of conservatives to denounce Glenn Beck's harmful rhetoric.
"You cannot preach hatred." Scarborough said, "You cannot say the president is racist. You cannot say things that have very deadly consequences. I was in Congress in 1995. I know where this can end."

As for Lou "I hate all brown people" Dobbs, I am just waiting for the day he dons his hood for his show.
Seems Dobbs' show was citing someone they shouldn't have been -- the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist group that descended from the White Citizens' Councils of the civil rights era.

Posted: 10/6/2009 11:27:54 AM | | Anyone who is willing to look under the hood of their new car and ask questions has my respect. Like him or not Beck expresses his opinions based on information he has chosen to pay attention to. Dismissing what he has to say or the research he's done seems somewhat foolish to me. Often his thought process is logical and the conclusions he comes to are worth consideration. | |

Posted: 10/6/2009 12:05:27 PM | | You have to find respect to anyone smart enough to make millions off of exploiting conservatives. If not respect, at least hilarity. Beck's not dumb; he's selling books and whistling all the way to the bank. I like to think of him as a 'honeypot' for crazies, at least he's keeping them all in one place, and if he can make a buck off their gulibility good for him. At least that means less money in their pockets and thus they are weaker. | |

If nothing else that that they give more raw information (especially Phil Henry). They give you more opportunities to look up what they say. It's common for Phil to read stuff to you. Many others will not do that and then give you their interpretation. | |

I'm probably splitting hairs here. Moore is more like Air America. Beck is a tiny step above. He's closer to Alan Combs factually but much more entertaining. Personal assessment.
Beck is an opportunist creating a feeding frenzy and then fiesting off of it, he throws in a little chum now and then to keep the feeding frenzy alive but he's mostly a user, a feeder a low life | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 8:37:16 AM | | The Left fear Beck because information is what the Obama administration does not what us to have. Obama ran on the concept of Transparency he has yet to exhibit this and has been in office for 9 months. They want to fast track everything and hide their true agenda in a blizzard of paperwork. Why did the Stimulus plan require over 1.000 pages? Why was it given for review with so little time before voting? I like Glen Beck and people like him as they are encouraging people to investigate, to little of that went on during the campaign. The enemy of this administration is information, the more people have the more they can see what his agenda is and how he is failing as President. | |

Your opinion your entitled to it factual or not
Obama ran on the concept of Transparency he has yet to exhibit this and has been in office for 9 months. They want to fast track everything and hide their true agenda in a blizzard of paperwork.
I guess writing it down is hiding it and the republicans the "party of no" is not capable of reading it
Why did the Stimulus plan require over 1.000 pages? Why was it given for review with so little time before voting?
I have no idea so why don't you tell me, opps you already did the President hid the facts by writing them down, now lets see if the document was vague you would be asking for more detail and claiming he was being vague in order to slip things inbetween the lines,Please tell me how many republicans are their in the senate and the Congress and do they have aids, lets say their are 100 republicans between the senate in the congress and that each of them have one aid thats 200 republicans to cover 1000 pages that means each republican would have had to read 5 pages, OMG what a job how could they do that it would take months if they read one word a day
I like Glen Beck and people like him as they are encouraging people to investigate, to little of that went on during the campaign. The enemy of this administration is information, the more people have the more they can see what his agenda is and how he is failing as President.
Glen Beck is an opportunist, a user, a distortionist your liking him is your business,
incidently you may want to pound the wall harder it appears that President Obama's job approval ratings are going up, that's what normally happens when a person is doing a good job | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 12:42:34 PM | | Investing in gold, the 9-12ers, the tea baggers, investigating the Obama czars, acorn and the roots of the current administration don't seem to me to be inappropriate endeavors, no more than those in the media who looked into the Bush administration, were they too distortionists, users or opportunists ? Beck does seem to back up his claims with facts, deductive reasoning and common sense. I don't necessairly buy into ideas about conspiracy nor am I paranoid but some things you've just got to think about. For example, the bill that was introduced a week or so ago requiring members of the House and Senate to actually read a bill before voting on it. I mean when was the last time you paid for something with a blank check or signed an agreement without reading it. Is this how our country is being run ? WTF, politicans passing laws on another politian's say so without checking. And we argue over health care legislation that has yet to be written or finalized. These people in government are for the most part not middle class and yet they expect the middle class to grant them trust like they're supposed to know what's best. Seems to me we all just wind up getting screwed with increased taxes and less freedoms while while our 'representives' fly around first class on new jets and have their own all inclusive healthcare plan for 500/year. There is something wrong with this picture and if Beck is looking at it then good for him, everybody should. | |

Investing in gold
LOL,yea I love Beck's advertisers. If convicted felon G. Gordon Libby says something is a good investment, who am I to question it!? You can tell alot about the viewers of a particular program by who purchases commercial airtime on it.
P. S. As for the czars, 5 constitutional experts testified before the Senate today reasserting what we already knew - that they are pefectly legal.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-czars7-2009oct07,0,3535667.story
I wonder if Beck will mention that on his show today? I'm guessing nope. | |

If you don't like him, view the thousands of liberal media outlets that pretend to be unbiased. Freedom of speech is a great thing. Shutting people up is not only dangerous, it is unconstitutional as well. | |
