TV Newser ^ | Feb. 18, 2010 | Kevin Allocca

Posted on 02/18/2010 8:31:53 PM PST by Beaten Valve

FNC's Glenn Beck is the cover story in USA WEEKEND magazine this week and the author, Dennis McCafferty, lists 10 items many people might not know about the host garnered from a conversation in Beck's Manhattan office.

Among them: he has a lot of liberal friends, Britney Spears is partly responsible for his career success, he's not happy with the GOP, Orson Welles is one of his greatest influences, he thinks he's turning into Jabba the Hutt, and he is aware that "he can be a jerk."

The article's not online yet, but you can see the print version after the jump:

A few days ago, Glenn Beck ordered a meatball sub. Not sure where that fits in but just wanted to put that out there.

I once had liberal "friends". It ended when I realized they were voting to have me robbed at gunpoint.

I know! It’s because when Britney whacked off her hair, she cut the RIGHT side first!

I saw that and turned it off. The whole Obama administration is one big lie to the American people. Why Glenn put people who question whether he is really an American in the same category as those who believe our government would purposely attack the World Trade Center and kill all those innocent people was just too much.

For some reason, he believes Obama lies about everything else, but we should not question whether he is a citizen or not.

I was disgusted.

Beck used to be at CNN didn’t he?

Anyway, today he’s a controlled opposition operative and a total phony.

NO STATUTORY US CITIZEN CAN EVER BE A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN AND VICE-VERSA.

He’s flaky but not stupid or devoid of common sense. Beck reminds me of the artist who doesn’t dress or comes across as an “artist.” He enjoys the artsy-fartsy, animated mind set of Michael Buble and BOR, plus (a big plus) he has the irreverent antics and voices of Bugs Bunny in his bag of tricks. He is a serious clown: serious when he is clowning and probably clowning when he is serious. Orson Wells? Maybe he fears he’ll be that fat later in life.

So you believe if the constitution is shat upon, that’s “good” and if it’s upheld, that’s “crazy”.

Just wanted folks to see your position, Redwood-nutter.

That’s nothing more than YOUR strawman.

And calling me names, or anyone else for that matter, reflects badly only on you my sad friend.

Redwood, the fact are what they are, written in the lawbooks, and in the Constitution. No statutory US citizen can ever be a natural born citizen, and vice-versa.
That is the truth, quite simply.

Oh, and not that you’re ABLE to, but if you want to prove otherwise, try reading the laws (US Code 1401 section 8) or the US Constitution, Article II. It’s all right there, but doubt you’ve the gray matter to digest the obvious.

But g’head, do try! LOL

Didn’t argue with your facts. They’re moot - he’s in.

My argument is you screaming while your head is in a hole. No one can hear you and you look dumb.

The world is going on. It’s a year after he was sworn in. And your solution is ..... BIDEN???

For Pete’s sake, pull your head out of that hole (just let your colon out of your teeth and you’ll see how easy it is) and help boot the dems out of Congress.

‘Nuff said. Good luck.

Her’s something that surprised me today. I have never heard Rush mention B.S.!!!

RUSH: I may have a may have a new favorite mayor out there: Oscar Goodman of Las Vegas. Mayor Oscar Goodman was invited by Barry Soetoro to meet with President Obama when he arrives in town today to campaign for Dingy Harry.

Disagree, squeaky wheel gets the grease and three states prove that. We will never be quiet about the Constitution because to do so is to be complicit with those who attack or devalue it.

Beck doesn’t want Medina because she will vocalize about the obviously unconstitutional usurper.
Beck and O’Reilly et al have kept Americans in the dark, as Obama’s ineligibility revolves around simple written pre-existing laws and the Constitution.
No statutory citizen can ever be a natural born citizen.

So they keep proving he’s a statutory citizen, or ridiculing those who even doubt that...and none of that matters, his father was still not a US citizen thus he cannot be a natural born citizen. He admits he was born British, he’s third generation British (Kenya colony).

One of my favorite, not talked about facts concerning Mr. Beck, is that he is a "capitalist" with a big "C" and he makes mega bucks "c"ommunicating about the "C"onstitution!

I for one enjoy most of his communications.
