So what’s the real scoop, Freedom Works good or bad?

Limbaugh has them as a sponsor, Beck has “known this for a year” and said nothing - you decide.

Beck was recommending Freedomworks yesterday.

So are they RINOs or not?

Beck seems a bit unstable to me.

in the segment, he SAID that the members of FW staged a counter coup and pushed out the RINO insurgents.

Beck is on our side, and he’s a great guy, but ya know what?

He’s a hype-master and he has pulled this kind of hyperventilating SO MANY TIMES that I can’t believe it.

It’s amazing that ANYONE believe him at all when he goes into this mode.

The man does it REGULARLY and I’d just as soon expect Hillary to clean up her act and be honest.

SUCH an established track-record of this dreck that’s IT IS FRIGGIN’ IMPOSSIBLE.

Was Dick Armey behind this?

I think the story said that Kibbe was reinstated a week later after the Board reversed their decision. It is shocking that one of THE core organizational groups and training grounds for the base got infiltrated so quickly and easily. Even if reversed.

As we knew, the 2012 election cycle, it was the Empire Strikes Back as the DC political class took back control of the party. The DC political class on the right is just as vile and corrupt as the left. They got their ass handed to them last year, but didn’t even hesitate before disparaging principled conservatives this year.

To the young staffers, Armey seemed ill suited to run the organization. He put three additional FreedomWorks employees on administrative leave but—when they broke down in tears—immediately reinstated them. Staffers say he referred to a Japanese employee with a ponytail as “that Indian fella.” (Armey denies this.) And when Armey kicked his cowboy boots up on a table in Kibbe’s office, that was it. “It was kind of like, ‘Well, I’ll be damned if this is going to happen,’ “ a young employee says.

FreedomWorks was about to be co-opted by (presumably) Dick Armey and other establishment RINO-types. They (RINO's) *tried* firing Matt Kibbe, who's leanings are more libertarian, but the FW board had none of these (Armey's) tricks.

Subsequently, Armey got a contract buy-out and Matt Kibbe stayed on and is CEO. It may have also had something to do (per Glenn's segment, today) about a book that Kibbe wrote that exposed the game plan of the BIG government pols. (Here's a link to his FW bio: http://www.freedomworks.org/matt-kibbe )

Regardless, FreedomWorks - who are now a Rush sponsor - have done more to get conservatives elected than the GOP or the NRSC ever has. My 2¢.

Beck has pulled out the chalk board and found and audience that the MSM never thought existed.

He is building a media empire that, on paper, can’t happen.

He provokes thought.

Right or wrong is irrelevant.

Glenn Beck promotes free thinkers.

I have been trying to get this across to many like-minded conservatives who I convene with. The RINO Establishment is not as weak as we like to tell ourselves they are.

These people are as cutthroat as the Rats. The mask slipped when Peter King used the progressive rhetoric, calling Ted Cruz a ‘terrorist’.

This is an insidious collective of ‘managers’. They buy the Weekly Standard in bulk, and take their lead from Karl Rove and various billionaire donors who want a corporatist government giving them a leg up. These people will shoot you in the back without thinking twice, and worse.
You only have to read the pure venom from people like Steven Law and Fox ‘strategists’. They mock conservatives. They despise conservatives. And if we become a threat, they will try to eliminate us by any means necessary.

The core structure of the ‘managers’ cartel consists of 23 senators, about 80 House members (including the leadership), as well as most of the right’s fifth column.

We need to take these thugs on under no illusions. They’re well funded and they hate us as much as Obama.

Did you watch the linked segment? He wasn't hyperventilating. He explained something significant that happened last year. Due to the circumstances surrounding the situation, he might not have been able to talk about it, til now.

On a side note...I find it interesting that Sean Hannity is temporarily officing in Glenn's NYC office, while his own (radio show) offices are being remodeled. At one time, I think Sean and Mark (TGO) weren't big fans of Glenn.

But, you're right...Glenn is on our side. He's doing all he can to expose the regime and the traitor RINO's.

I like him and agree with his message, and I support him.

It’s only when he says, “I have big news and I’ll be reporting it at some unannounced point in the next 10 days or so...” that I have questions:

A couple times I’ve gone and told people something HUUUUUGE is about to break based on Glenn’s very preliminary intimations, and then there’s *nothing* and it has been embarrassing for me.

I still support him but I’m never doing that again.

And for the average voter.

It’s a choice between socialism and fascism.

A sad state of affairs.
