Why do Freepers have a problem with Glen Beck?

Posted on 07/25/2014 8:27:27 AM PDT by MNDude

I've seen some negative comments about conservative talk radio host "Glen Beck" in here lately.

Wasn't he the one that brought a million conservatives to a rally in Washington DC? So I'm just curious, if there is one thing you don't like about Mr. Beck, what is it?

...” He’s presented a disturbing persona of one who is either been or is in the midst of being brainwashed”.....

Just reading your post reminded me how one could see this happening as his programs shifted to where they scripted in, deceptively, his religious leanings. If one wasn’t familiar with their indoctrination tactics it wouldn’t be noticed, but those who know how deceptive they are picked up on it right away.

....”his wife was not a Mormon who converted him”....

He did , however, mention she was responsible for him attending the church.

They attended a lot of churches together, and then they both/all converted to mormonism, and weren’t some kids involved and a daughter praising the Mormon church before conversion?

"He jumped the shark when he decided it was a Great Idea to fund the invading hoards of illegals with My tax money"

He said no such thing. That it is a flat out lie.

I don't agree with Beck on everything, and that's just fine. He has a right to his opinions.

I very much appreciate the efforts he has made to alert our nation to various issues, such as the rise of radical Islam, which he predicted years before anyone else did.

He is also right on about the need for conservative ideas to "get back into our culture" (paraphrasing). I wish him every success with his studio building project. No one else has done this.

As for him being emotional and/or Mormon-so what? Again, that is his business, not mine

Everytime there's a thread about Beck -the same group of trolls show up spouting the same lies, distortions, and put-downs. I suspect most of these are posted by leftist trolls attempting to use Alinsky tactics to cause as much harm as possible.

As for anyone else posting their dislike of Beck for the world to read-IMO-attacking an ally when you're in a war is always a bad idea.

Because he is stupid and he panders over race as well as a Democrat which is what he used to be

Glenn Beck is very envious of being Jewish but since that is impossible for him he decided Mormonism would have to suffice

He worships Martin Luther King and Civil Rights acts

And just last week I heard him declare to Sean Hannity that during slave days in the United States that slave owners could do absolutely anything including murder to their slaves free of legal ramifications which is absolute horseshit

and any student of history knows that....the laws are on many archives especially about executing slaves

he’s emotive and self aggrandizing

A huckster

it’s a shame because he has some good folks on his network

I understand the appeals to politically correct conservatives like some posters on for Republic and Dana Perino but I don’t understand why Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have decided to get closer to him which I think that is a mistake

but it really doesn’t matter to be honest because when the shooting war starts and it certainly will one day all of these so called conservative leaders and pundits will mean nothing .....they will not even be a footnote at that point

I used to really like him, but like have learned to hate him over time.

I hate how completely serious he talks in a monologue and then in that same passionate as sappy voice he starts promoting Goldline.

He became SUCH an sanctimonious know-it-all after he studied up on American History and kept saying “if you knew American History like I do...”

I am so envious of those New York liberals in the park that tossed the glass of wine on him a year or two ago.

Maybe he gets that from the same dubious historian here at FR who believes that pre Civil War Southerners were ‘Marxists’. Which certainly would have been news to Karl Marx and the other ‘48er revolutionaries who were ardent fans of Lincoln and the Union cause.

It’s bad enough that so much of the American Historical Association is littered with leftists. It’s an added insult when characters claiming to be from the right add their own shoddy make believe version. And Glenn Beck is certainly one of them.

Translation: “Everytime there’s a Glenn Beck thread all sorts of posters who think he’s a self-promoting emotional basket case and a dunce show up saying things that I don’t like”.

Fixed it for ya.

Lighten up Francis, get back to me when you get over the memorial crisis you are obviously dealing with. ;)

Beck is a tool. A boring one. He was attempting to push his agenda by helping criminal invading hoards with public support. Both political and financially.

When you admit that we’ll talk until then I don’t need lectures from L.I.V. on any site.

Beck said nothing about taxpayers supporting llegals-the rest of your post makes no sense.

Glenn Beck is not always right but he does say things that needs to be said.
You can agree with it or not. Your choice.
It's not productive for us to call him an idiot, alcoholic etc. Leave that to the left.
Let's debate the merits of the issue rather than the person bringing it up.

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'
Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists. [by "anti-government activists" is meant church-burning Christian-murdering jihadists]

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...
