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?

What is wrong with Michael Savage? Don’t really listen to his show so don’t know much about him.

As for Beck, his stance on illegals is more than enough.

Nonsense, Beck didn’t leave Catholicism and convert to Mormonism for some girl.

Beck is a devoted Mormon and has written a book on his conversion to the religion.

Beck is a Temple Mormon, a member of the most devout and proven Mormons.

Plus his Blaze.com website blows chunks!!

Indeed. I have left so many objectionable comments there that they have locked my account. I can no longer comment. In fact, I cannot create a new account. I've tried several times, albeit using the same throw away email address. They simply don't reply to it with the link to activate an account. If I really cared about that poor excuse for a website, I'd create a new throw away on a different PC...but I don't care that much.

His radio show with him and his juvenile sidekicks cracking wise is unlistenable.

Where did you hear about that?

Weiner spends half of his show attacking solid conservatives like Levin and Limbaugh, even has the gall to use made-up names against them while he himself uses a fake name “Savage” and a fake NY accent. Weiner is as fake as they come.

Isn’t he kind of new to it to be proven? Or does that mean he donated a lot of money?

I don't have much of a problem with Beck in general.. He's done some good and has cast some light on a lot ov very liberal criminality.

I think one of the things that might rub people the wrong way is that he is a man with the emotional constitution of a woman. His femininity is discordant.

He is the Nikola Tesla of conservative commentators.

Tried watching him when he was on Fox a couple times, and he ran around in his sneakers with his dry-erase boards and he actually polluted whatever good info was in there with his babbling self-interruptions and man-on-a-wire antics. Someone else mentioned how much he plagiarized Malkin, but how about his ripoff of discoverthenetwork.com - which had all of the interconnections between leftists mapped in detail for years before and which he kept insisting was astonishing... ASTONISHING! Like he had just discovered it himself and it was being shown for the first time anywhere.

Glenn Blecch!

A Temple Mormon is one who submits to and passes examination on his level of Mormon holiness, including the mandatory 10% paying of gross income to the religion.

Beck is examined every two years, and is issued ID to enter the Mormon Temples, assuming he passes.

I assume the responses pretty much sum it up for you. As for myself, I agree with them all, in whole and in part.

I remember the first time I heard him. They switched the lineup on our local AM station and his show must have come on my clock-radio in the morning. So I wake up to a cacophony of over-talking boobs. It was pure drivel and you couldn’t tell who was who, nor could you follow a cogent train of thought. I assume one of them was Beck but I don’t know.

I couldn’t change the channel quick enough.

New to it?

How long does it take to become a good Mormon? Beck was baptized into the Mormon religion in 1999.

He has done a lot of good things for the conservative cause but he is also not a little bit whacky at times.

I respect that he speaks his mind come what may. Even if I think he is wrong on some things (and I think he is), he is not, as far as I can tell duplicitous, so there is that in his favor. He calls them as he sees them.

His persona comes off as strange/whacky and I think that has a lot to do with why people dislike him.

Although I have NO PROOF of this, my take on Beck is that he's back on the alcohol/drugs.

His knee jerk EMOTIONAL responses like the toys at the border incident say that to me.

Same here. My gut was telling me to let him go. It was getting embarrassing. Rush, Levin and Prager are about all I can stand. Savage....depends on the day. I love listening to him until he starts bashing other hosts and talks about religion.
