I turned on the radio yesterday to hear Beck & co. mocking Ted over his holy roller speechifying.

A big, fat defamation lawsuit came of it. Still pending.

because he's a whack job? back on the booze and off the meds?

A whack job who knows more about the communist left and their operations than you are capable of conceiving.

This is surprisingly similar to a piece done on Dave Ramsey a few years ago.

Oh wow, I didn't know that.

What was the Earth-shattering information Beck had?

Wow, what an article. No wonder so many people simply say that he has gone crazy. Maybe it’s that crazy belief system that he is part of.

Sad to see... there was a time when I really enjoyed listening and watching Beck. Some of his history programs on TV were excellent. he was ahead of the curve in understanding the implications of the Arab Spring.

But, yea... he just ventured off into crazy land. I haven’t listend at all for probably 1 1/2 years. We don’t get The Blaze on my TV... so, that’s not an option.

I know, back in 2008 and 2012, I heard Beck rant for two hours about the evils of politicians using available meta-data on voters to identify supporters. Even then, such data was available from third parties... it’s VERY effective. Obama used it heavily to crush us. But, Beck was MORALLY OPPOSED to using it... said he would never support a candidate who did.

And now? Ted Cruz is definitely using it... and, Beck is his loudest champion. Really weird.

Ever since Beck showed up, both Cruz and Trump have been off their game.
Makes one wonder about if Beck working for Romney again.
...in addition to being crazy.

I don’t agree with your post. It is important to let people know when you don’t agree, otherwise others will assume that everyone agrees with them.

On that we agree completely. Unforgivable and detestable little puppet.

Broke ass, increasingly irrelevant MSM pubs in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. At least Beck didn’t sell his flagship magazine for $1. I think the Street Sheet (newspaper for the homeless, published by the homeless) would generate a higher valuation.

Great.   Good post.   The story has lots of juicy detail in it.

The story suggests that "half a million" people came to Washington for the Beck organized "Restore Honor" rally, but Wikipedia say that a "scientific analysis" pegs the rally at more like 90,000.

Also I looked for picture's of Glenn Beck's DC-9 airplane that used to owned by Orson Welles.   I could find only one picture of the plane -- and only the tail of the plane.   That's weird.

I think Beck's resurgence will be to stop Beck from deporting millions of illegal immigrants.  Lots more crying on its way.   And for repositioning his shtick to help the Cheap Labor Express, he will be handsomely supported by Silicon Valley and the like.

In other words, Beck's new mission will be to schlong Trump's immigration policy.

I was the last man standing and even I bailed on Beck. The final straw was his meltdown where he insulted Palin. Then him and Dana Loesch supporting the vile idiots at NRO proved my point. They are untrustworthy now.

Glenn Beck is likely experiencing the inevitiable long term effects of alchohol and drug abuse. He now has 5 voices in his head fighting for control.

Because he’s a flawed man with delusions of playing kingmaker. He appears to want to present himself as some sort of prophet. Forgiveness doesn’t grant the title to become arbiter of right and wrong. IMO he overestimates his own importance in the grand scheme of the world.

Even if he was technically nuts, he still understands way more about what we’re up against with the commie left than damn near all of his critics. More importantly, he brought that mountain of info to the public in a way no other before or since had done. Again, whoever dismisses what he did on his Fox News show is simply revealing that they themselves don’t know jack sh*t about the communist movement.
