I’m really over Glenn Beck. He persistently promotes himself as someone who cares about the US Constitution, yet here he is on the O’Reilly show sneering and scoffing and trying to belittle Donald Trump (on the BC issue) with as much gusto as any leftist. How can he do this and then be sincere in his professed concerns for the application of Constitutional law?
Trump is in the right, he’s brave, and we need to support him on this issue. If Beck cannot do that simple thing then he’s off my Christmas card list. There is absolutely no reason why Obama can not be hit on his BC and policy simultaneously, and there is not one shred of proof for the claim that Karl Rove so often makes, that Obama is setting the BC issue up as a diversion.
In my judgment, the Democrats and their media collaborators betray again and again that their attempts to downplay this issue are fake and they are really, underneath their smug and arrogant veneer, as worried as hell.
As I watched the segment today, I found my respect for Beck slipping quickly away. I just do not like him anymore.
They either have something on Beck or he’s playing with half his marbles. This guy will go on radio and TV everyday and scream Frances Fox Piven, they are going to collapse the system, chaos is just around the corner, the destruction of the United States is about to happen. However, Beck worries about “a little thing” of a birth certificate that Barack Obama can’t or will not show? Why Beck? Isn’t Barack Obama a tool of Soros and the hidden cabal that you rail against everyday? Here is a chance to expose Obama as an usurper that could remove the instrument of destruction of the United States and the world? What Beck preaches everyday and his position to protect Obama from exposure are incompatible. Something is wrong with this guy.
I never really got into Beck from the start, but gave him a chance about 12-18 months ago. About 10% of the stuff he does is excellent. But the other 90% reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart or some bad TV preacher.
I think Beck has a choice to either become a humorous commentator like Rush or continue with his doom and gloom preacher act. If he chooses the latter, he’ll sink into the ratings abyss over the next couple years and go the way of Phil Donahue, Morton Downey, Jr. or the like.
I fervently concur with your analysis. I’m leaning towards Mr. Trump being our best bet.
That's a pretty pathetic looking straw man you've erected there.
The very **minute** that Beck first bashed the proofers, I WAS DONE WITH BECK! ( Ann Coulter, too!)
Beck also **DELIBERATELY** misrepresented ( in three ways) Trump's posting of the hospital created birth certificate.
** Beck DELIBERATELY failed to mention that the next day Trump posted his long form birth certificate.
** Trump's hospital created form is a **real** form and available for examination. It has the **real** signature of the DOCTOR and the name of the hospital. No one at the hospital can deny that this form came from their maternity delivery room and the doctor's signature is this man's real signature! Contrast that with Obama’s fake Internet photoshop image.
** By posting this hospital generated certificate Trump highlighted the many deficiencies of Obama’s fake Internet image.
“Beck is a phony. He proclaims to be all for defending the Constitution but mocks and ridicules those who seek to defend the Constitution against the biggest Constitutional crisis of our time”.

You are right about that, Beck, Hannity, Oreilly, et al are nothing more than phonies “acting” like they care about the direction this government is going, but in reality they are nothing more than low level entertainers like the rest of idiots the business. Why anyone believes anything that comes out of their mouths is beyond me, they have a script and cater to a segment of the population, mostly right leaning people, who supply them with the ratings they need to stay afloat, all the while parroting what their bosses tell them to. If they go too far, like the BC issue they are walking on dangerous territory and they’re reined in. They possess NO courage with their so called “convictions” otherwise they’ll be shown the door. Beck’s ratings are falling and I’m sure after last night’s display on “BORE” he will lose even more numbers. I say good riddance to the melodramatic phony who now shares company with the likes of BOR, NYSlimes, MSNBC, CNN and all the rest of the enemedia.
Something is wrong with this guy.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Definitely! For all the reasons you stated.
Oh wow, that’s a good point. Ok, I must admit I’m now vacillating in my support for Mr. Trump.
Trump is a scam artist but kinda fun to watch.
Then Beck is not completely listening to Trump. Trump also says that Obama could be hiding Muslim is stated on his birth certificate, but he does not believe that is the case.
This issue at hand is narrowly defined yet you continue to bring up things that are not at all relevant.
“What Beck preaches everyday and his position to protect Obama from exposure are incompatible. Something is wrong with this guy.”
That is exactly right, and Beck, who daily exhibits his ability to reason coolly and objectively, seems strangely oblivious to this incompatibility. It has to be fake. He has to know. He has to be lying to us about something, but if that is so, it makes his sneering at Trump many times worse, because its fake and manufactured.
Meh...I always hated trump....he’s smarmy like Romney...
I used to send an email once a day to Beck on the BC issue. He never responded once. I asked him for his research and who on his team had seen the BC....Nothing....Very disappointing about Beck. This is the largest Constitutional issue and he is hiding.
“If you don't believe he has a birth certificate, you can say ‘I don't believe he has a birth certificate.’”
Beck affirms that it is perfectly OK with him for Trump to say that Obama doesn't have a birth certificate if that is what Trump believes.
Oh for crying out loud. Screw all that splitting of hairs and semantics, and screw Glenn Beck. Trump has the guts to stand up and say something that Beck won't touch with a ten foot pole, and now he wants to criticize him for saying it the wrong way?
Beck, Mr. Constitution-lover himself, has been notably quiet about the Obama eligibility issue from the very beginning, and now that someone else has dared to stand up in public and challenge Obama on it, Beck fails the ultimate test, by NOT supporting that individual.
I'm done with Beck. If he doesn't see that this one thing is the very linchpin of the Obama disaster, then he isn't what he purports to be, and is little more than an entertainer.
As detail oriented as Beck is about obama and his associations, why doesn’t he realize that this presidency could be null and void if this constitutional requirement was taken seriously.

Perhaps Beck knows that the BC issue is one that the Left loves to have hanging out there to draw our fire. Much time and energy are wasted on that issue while the Marxists destroy the country with little notice from the public. I would not be surprised eventually to see Zero on TV laughingly waving the document and saying that he had it all along.
