He's not fabricating speeches by Obama or his Marxist/anarchist/revolutionary czars and advisers. Isn't it amusing that all the Bush haters that called him a Nazi and so on can't take the same kind of heat. It's about time someone returned the favour. The missing C in oligarchy is Czars.

Glen Beck lives from sound-bite to out-of-context-quote. He's a shit disturber. He's dangerous. If he is so good at 'finding the fact' why doesn't he take that talent, his big fat mouth, and all his supporters and run for office???????? What's his excuse? Didn't he just top 30 million viewers?

One day, someone louder and more popular will come to take his place. And so many will follow it will be the final undoing of what is left of our society. It will be easy for them to do it. We are too lazy and happy to let others dig up the 'facts' and willing to take them on their word until someone else digs up the facts on the facts and says 'He made a boo-boo."  We let Bush do it. People in authority that we elected let him do it. The world let him do it. We'll let anyone do it.  It's so much easier to let them f-it all up and then point a finger and say 'Bad, bad, bad".  We want the sensational stuff. We crave it. That's why the 'Enquirer' and all the other tabloids exist and will continue to make 'millions' on Michael Jackson's name.

He is not on FOX because he is credible.  He's there because he is sensational. He doesn't even do real 'reporting'. He spews bile. He regurgitates convoluted crap for the man and whistles "Tommy's Holiday Camp' all the way to the bank and says prayers to a staue of Rush Limbaugh that we never open our eyes and ears and look at the world for ourselves.

I am all for freedom of speech. I also recall a time where the kind of garbage that him and others spray like  mongrels marking their territory would have had them off the air faster than you could say 'rubber baby buggy birthers'. And they wouldn't show up on another network a year later. They would be done.

Kinda like Glen whats-his-ass?

I'm not trying to pick an argument and am open to any response you might have. I hope in the end we can at least agree to disagree because I do respect you, your talent, and your amazing karaoke abilities.

Credible or not, there are a whole lot of folks hearing what he has to say, tuning in, fueling the fire. I for one admire him for standing up for what he believes, I try to live the same way... and i do believe he believes in his cause.

Just know this, this snowball has been rolling for a while now, it will continue to build, typically when someone is attacked it's because someone else is worried about them... gaining..credibility.

Calling the guy names, bumping threads like this is doing nothing more than raising awareness for him.

...and me.

As far as running for office, some people are born politicians.. some are not.. Al Franken for one

and no Po, no hard feelings, I think ur a pretty stand up guy and dress really interestingly.

Thats a pretty good explanation Pas... I don't buy it.. but its not bad.

I seriously wish I had more time to devote to discussion, I do feel extremely drawn to it.

Time is far more an enemy of mine than anything I might discuss here.

Do you want a list of people that a 'whole lot of foks' tuned into? Maybe a list of the kind of fires they fueled?

He's not responsible. He'll say whatever he thinks will get your attention at any moment in time. He's a shock-jock. If he hadn't discovered he had the ability to lull so many into his fantastical world of bullshit, he'd be selling Enzyte on the Sunday morning AM radio shows. His only real talent is salesmanship and having a voice a thousand other radio and TV wannabe's wish they had.

Yes. History is riddled with figures who were undone by those fearing their rising credibility.

The snowball is FOX news and it's desperate attempt to gather together all these sensationalistic hucksters who see us for what we are. Voyeurs. RUbberneckers on the highway passing a five car pile up. We don't want to hear how good things are. We want the dirt and bile. We want to see people ruined, brought to their knees. Destroyed. That's where the entertainment is. That's where the money is. Do you think FOX gives a crap about the sponsors that have bailed? No. Because there are a hundred more lining up willing to pay even more as long as FOX can keep the steady stream of mind numbing nonsense going. People are not tuning into him for 'news' because he doesn't report the news. He's not an investigative reporter.  Perhaps if he was he wouldn't put forth what he claims to be the truth before investigating ALL the facts. INstead he just throws whatever he can get his hands at the wall to see if it sticks. If it doesn't, he moves on to the next cow pie and hurls that.

He got elected. He had the balls to run for office. He chose to seek a position where he really could make change. If he goes down in flames he'll have the satisfaction of knowing he tried  to make his world, your world, our world a better place.  There is honor in that. He could have easily continued to hide behind a microphone or camera and collected a bigger paycheck. Instead of going on and on about f-d up everyone else was and how wrong everyone was, he put his money where his mouth is and said enough's enough. He chose to get his hands dirty and make a difference from a place where he could.

Glen Beck is content to be an arm chair quarter-back and point the blame.

I don't get it, y'all must not even watch Fox, listen to Beck, O'really etc I find most of the serious reporters on there, Megyn Kelly, Bill Hemmer, Carl Cameron, Major Garret, Cavuto etc extremely credible, professional factfinders, hard ass interviewers, Ive seen them all give to BOTH sides.. frequently. Many times I've fact checked with AP, other smaller news agencies, I've never seen any major discrepencies from any of them. I watch it because amongst all the news channels I do find they they tend to give equal time to both sides, almost every segment has a guest from the left and the right.

In short.. we must be watching two different channels.

Anyway, who knows, maybe Beck will run for office, he's a young guy.. just because he hasn't doesn't mean a thing Po. I suppose he is undertaking what he feels is his correct life path. You think he isn't making a difference, changing the world to make it a better place in his view because he's not running for office? 

I'll bet the bank he is making far more of a difference then anything Franken is doing and correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Franken already try the entertainment \ blame game \ talk show host route and was more of a bomb thrower and and spewer of venom than Beck will ever be...  he went on to fail massively.. as did the left wing radio outfit that hired him.

Besides lining his pockets and the FOX networks piggy bank, what difference has he made?  He's the new Howard Stern. As many people tune in because they like him as those that tune in because they love to hate him. Shock-jock.

• to borrow a quote
  As far as running for office, some people are born politicians..

I don't know right from left. I don't care. It's not about that for me. It's about crying 'wolf'. It's about being responsible. It's about actually 'doing' something about 'it'. A 'Million Man March'. Fasting. Putting himself 'out-there' and getting dirty up to his elbows. Making a sacrifice. Oreganize his 30 million viewers and make a statement.  Not being an alarmist.

That's where a lot of folk are on two different channels. Folks have different views of what is a 'major' discrepency. Since when do we allow, permit, sit-back and say "Pffft." to any discrepancies when it comes to news casting or journalism? I'll tell you. When it's NOT news casting or journalism.  Because it's entertainment. Fluff. Political-tabloid-fodder. Crap. We put up with 8 years of it from BUsh and 30 million people have learned nothing. But the media has learned how to exploit it. They have learned how to exploit our mistrust and our willingness to be led like a bunch of lemurs to the cliff.  Only Glen won't be jumping. He won't be drinking the Kool-Aid. Why? Because he doesn't belive his own shit. If he did he would take action and stop reacting.

I just watched the shuttle launch live by stepping right outside my door... last night time launch, perfect skies... freakin incredible!

If that were the case .... then why are the top four books all conservative books?  Perhaps liberals are too busy getting paid and bused to townhall locations to be able to read books.  Conservatives don't get paid to show up to townhall meetings- they do it because they fear that we will become more socialistic than the United Kingdom and right behind France.

The reason for Fox beating the tar out of CNN and MSNBC is because NBC/MSNBC doesn't really critize our government because their head of the corporation is now in government and CNN, well, they lost all credibility during the Iraw wars among other things.  As well, most of the time, Fox has two people on each side of the coin irrespective of the host's views.  If they could just get rid of Geraldo..... lol!

Excellent post.

I have a tender spot for Geraldo, gotta love the guys passion, and bravery.

President Obama has bombers for friends, he stole two car companies from the the bondholders and owners, and gave the majority of it to the UAW, one of his czars is a founder of the Weather Underground, a couple of others are self-confessed Marxists, he was a national trainer for Acorn, a criminal organization devoted to voter fraud nation-wide, he has said publicly that he sought out Marxist professors and radicals in university, he voted against a law that would provide doctoral care for aborted babies that were still alive, and that's just the beginning, and you want us to believe Glenn Beck is dangerous. Glenn Beck plays videos of President Obama and his associates making their views known clearly; he shows the actual associations of various groups and people. The facts and the people involved speak for themselves; he's not making it up. President Obama is on tape saying that he wants a single-payer health system (that means exclusively government-run), and he's on tape saying that he didn't say that. What is dangerous about someone playing those tapes for us to see.
