That he was even willing to do an interview with a “progressive” publication like the Huffington Post was the first clue. But whatever his motives, Glenn Beck is making his gradual shift away from conservatism apparent for all to see.

And it has some now-former fans hopping mad, especially at sites such as Free Republic and Breitbart, where he’s being blasted as opportunistic and shifting with the winds for the sake of gaining Blaze TV carriage on major cable systems, among other allegations. Others focus on his (not as right-wing as some believe) Mormon faith as the driving force.

It makes total sense that he would give this interview to the Huffington Post. After all, Arianna became a media darling after she renounced the conservative cause that she took on in order to hook/beard her multimillionaire gay Republican husband.

They are both opportunist hucksters. The only difference is that Arianna cries less then Glenn

Since when is feeding and clothing children (no matter what the circumstances) NOT a conservative ideal?

When you use other people's money to do it. Not saying Beck advocated that. I'm just answering your question.

Glenn went down to help those little niños in Texas, and the media just sort of ignored him.

There are some folks really hurting right now in Missouri, and I bet if he did a "Restoring Ferguson" and showed up there with semi-trailers full of basketballs, $200 shoes, blunts and malt liquor, the mainstream media would be interested enough to cover that. You know they would.

When he decided gay marriage was a great idea, that should have given conservatives pause.

He must have sold all of the books he can to conservatives and is now going for the liberal market.

Beck got his national start defending Terri Schiavo when few other of the American people would. Now where does he stand?

I don’t have a problem condemning him. The guy belittled Cliven Bundy; he made that grandly dramatic (naturally) announcement that he would “stand” with GLAAD; and of course there’s his emotion-based Santa Clause errand to the border.

Whatever he did in the past, he’s used up all that capital.

I don’t go to his site, listen to his interviews, or pay attention to him in any way. As far as I am concerned, he is simply gone.

From what little I’ve heard of him recently, he seems to be turning into a religious maniac. Everything seems to be God, God, God, which is fine, but I want to hear about Politics, Politics, Politics and why Obama is bad.

Lol

The fact you find Beck an authority on history is painfully amusing

Incredible truly

You know a lot about history and claim Beck is an authority on history

I will assume you are Newtonian on history but if so then you should know Beck is at least 75% a nutjob pick and choose on history.....for a conservative.

Beck is mostly wrong....very very wrong on history for a conservative.....because he is a late in life dry drunk refugee from utter progressivism

And has finally landed in politically correct mushy moderateville ....hyper...and I do mean hyper sensitive about race

And a bad case of wishes he were a Jew so he could be chosen of the tribe

Hence....Mormonism would have to do and be special enough

Yet another lapsed altar boy...a familiar trajectory....he should have stayed Catholic and obedient sez this southern Baptist

He loves...I mean loves all the Civil rights crap from the 60s.....drinks MLK bathwater

Legislation Maximus...Goldwater ...and Buckley all opposed

Last week on national radio he told Sean during one of his slavery south hating tirades....that southerners....Yankees never had slaves in Beck World 101.....could murder any black at will slave or freedman prior to the noble Radical Republicans saved them

Even Sean was amused and hesitant at his audacity instinctively knowing g aBeck was blowing smoke out his ass

That was just a bald faced lie....a simple Google search will instruct one

I own a book on North Carolina slave codes from the 1830s

A master could get 20 years hard labor for murdering a slave

In Louisiana a white man killed a free mulatto he could possibly hang

Its just nonsense and he blurts out crap like this steadily.....and he loathes Teddy Roosevelt for Gods sake

Beck is a turd....a blight on our cause and a useful idiot tool for the left

Like Roger Ailes likely felt......good riddance.

I don’t think he has any real conviction one side or the other. It’s business.

“Since when is feeding and clothing children (no matter what the circumstances) NOT a conservative ideal?”

When they are an invasion force cynically being used to fundamentally destroy the cultural demographic of the nation.
