Is there any more yawn-worthy insult than being called a racist these days?

Yes. I perceive what he is doing as calculated because he did it in 2012 as well. He also put Limbaugh and Hannity on the spot publicly asking them to explain their supportiveness of Trump. Hannity wrote back. I don’t believe Limbaugh did. He said he did not agree with Hannity and thereafter he called Sarah a clown and apologized and he called the tea party racist if they don’t reject Trump. Now he is being used by the left to smear the tea party. He does not want to understand. He wants to force others to do what he feels they should by embarrassing and shaming them in public.

Bobby Jindal is, by focusing on attempts to divide, driving himself into irrelevancy for this, or any future, presidential campaign.

Once Beck dies, I am going to baptize him Muslim.

Beck sounds like he is in serious mental health trouble. It would not surprise me if he committed suicide.

There has been a lot of talk about Trump and bankruptcy.

Trump has never PERSONALLY declared bankruptcy.

Beck will.

I’m against trump, but I don’t think his supporters are generally racist (not to say that there aren’t any racists who support him.)

Glenn is confused. I’m the first to confess that Trump has problems but they are no more than the ones I got over to vote for Romney or McCain. However its pretty clear that Glenn has an agenda that isn’t about really about taking on the left or Washington DC. He I believe seems to see himself as the Pope of Radio or something. I really think he’s done some very great things but the idea that he can’t appreciate what Trump is accomplishing by totally eviscerating political correctness and the political status quo is revealing. It reveals like it has with many others that they are not the least interested in changing the orientation of the arrow of power. They just want their turn at the whips so to speak.

Glenn is a human being and I hope he realizes his error but the one feature that I notice about those who are most anti-Trump is that many are simply upset that they have become irrelevant. They didn’t do anything to create Trump or lift him and some I believe are very upset that he is succeeding where others they see as more deserving have failed. Glenn is simply behaving as a child who has lost the favored attention and now is effectively throwing a tantrum saying “Look at me, look at me, look at me!”.

I support Cruz but I am very thankful for Trump. He is bringing focus on the GOP like never before. He is while imperfect is making issues that seemed like non starters in Washington (like truly securing the border) center stage. He is also totally screwing the GOP-E and the power classes plan to force feed us another weak squish.

The only people paying any attention to Glen Beck are on the left. He matters not a whit to any conservative.

Pulver somehow thinks Beck is a mighty king maker?

Whatever his political views are, he does them no credit by his behavior.

He is 100% in for Cruz, has been all along, as most freepers are. The man has a total lack of faith in there being a political solution to our problems, as do many here.

That is the reason Trump is flying so high right now he looks to be the only challenge to the elite in Washington. Beck is not evil a little discombobulated for sure but not evil or insane.

Beck is a race baiting South basher

I have said to hell with him almost since jump street

He’s just plain and simple a purveyor of myth sold to the estupidos

I don’t think he’s evil. I think he’s very sick. Beyond discombobulated. But not insane in the classic sense.

If I’m for anyone, it’s Cruz. I do like that Trump is shaking up the settled order. It’s unlikely I’d vote for him, though.

Beck sounds mentally ill. Whatever, he is no conservative.

I’ve never been a fan, and I warned people on this forum years ago to not put him on a pedestal -with good reason. He surely need professional help.
