Radio host Glenn Beck said Tuesday that Donald Trump acts like the radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
"He is Saul Alinsky," Beck insisted of the GOP presidential front-runner on his radio broadcast.
"[Trump] will isolate you and polarize you and he will take you out," Beck said. "He will destroy you. "He is spending money with Tea Party groups and churches and news websites to own them," the conservative pundit added.
Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" has inspired controversy over its principles on income inequality, politics and social justice.
Beck argued that the Republican establishment threatens Trump's lead in the polls at its own peril.
"[The GOP] is making themselves a horrible, horrible bed [if they] run campaigns against him," he said of Trump.
Beck said alienating Trump could prompt the businessman to run as a third party presidential candidate next year -- something that could benefit Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
"What are the odds that he is a spoiler?" Beck asked of Trump. "What are the odds that he got into this because he's friends with the Clintons and he'll get a massive payback?
"Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton gets in because he ran third party?" he continued. "Do you know the favor they're going to owe him?"
Beck additionally suggested that Trump's policy stances "make no sense."
"He doesn't believe the things that he's saying," he said of the New York business mogul, citing his immigration rhetoric.
Trump has repeatedly warned the Republican National Committee he'll consider a third party run if it does not treat him fairly.
I’ve seen numerous people here saying that Trump is secretly supporting Hillary. Personally, I think Trump is in it to win it. His ego is far too big for him to win it for someone else. I’ll support Trump. I trust him more than I trust Beck.
Is it me or is Glenn Beck an idiot?!
Rule #4 Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules
He called the middle east kerfuffle with amazing accuracy, even to the point when he said black, anarchist and muzzzies would unite for the cause.
Wonder what happened to him?
It sure is since Trump is in the top .001% of people here or something like that. He is in the genius range.
I detest him.
When does Glenn get his padded room?
Watch out now,you’ll hurt his feelings.;)
Beck:
“Newt Gingrich is the enemy of God.”
“Sarah Palin is a clown.”
“The tea party is racist if it supports Trump.”
“I like the Rubio/Fiorina combo”
“Trump is Saul Alinsky.”
Did I leave anything out?
Ha Ha! Funny. Plus, news to Beck: Tea Parties and churches can’t really be bought. That’s a hard sell. If Trump is the wrong guy then he’s the wrong guy, but not for the reasons Beck states.
I don’t get the hate here for Trump. If he weren’t in this race we’d be wondering if Bush was going to beat Hillary and fighting about whether we should stay home or not.
Trump is far from my ideal candidate but the establishment lost me and any support when we gave them the congress to undo Obama’s agenda....and they stabbed us in the back.
If Trump can destroy the GOPe, more power to him.
His staff did all the gut work; he just said it.
Be3ck is a MORON.
Is that arse-clown Beck still weeping at the drop of a hat? I haven’t seen him in a really long time.
We can hold a fund raiser to get him a "safe space" ;)
Either way, my point was that he changed for some reason.
Might have been told he had a lovely family and it would be a shame if something happened to them....who knows.
His brain is making up the poison he used to drink...and he is still crazy.
I can’t understand why anyone from Freerepublic would post any thread from Glen Beck.
I didn’t read the post for one reason, Beck is pure and simply out of his mind nuts.
Read if you must but don’t post his junk on FR, please.
He has nothing to add to the conversation and is totally useless for real information.
Good. About time our side got an Alinsky. I’ve told people for years to read “Rules for Radicals.”
