Glenn Beck on opposing Trump: It's the "moral, ethical choice"
CBS News ^ | Oct. 12, 2016

Posted on 10/12/2016 8:40:42 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

Conservative political commentator and former Fox News personality Glenn Beck said that opposing GOP nominee Donald Trump is the “moral, ethical choice” -- even if it that inadvertently leads to supporting Hillary.

“It is not acceptable to ask a moral, dignified man to cast his vote to help elect an immoral man who is absent decency or dignity,” he wrote in a Facebook over the weekend. “ If one helps to elect an immoral man to the highest office, then one is merely validating his immorality, lewdness, and depravity.”

Beck’s comments follow a tumultuous week for the Trump campaign in which dozens of Republicans have either publicly denounced or rescinded their endorsements for their party leader after the release of a video showing Trump making sexually demeaning comments towards women. Unlike many of those in his party, Beck, however, has been an outspoken critic of the business mogul from the very beginning--supporting, instead, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the primaries. In a recent interview with Vice, Beck said he had briefly considered voting for Mrs. Clinton, but said that he “could never.”

But he also added this in his Facebook post, “If she is elected, the world does not end.... Once elected, Hillary can be fought. Her tactics are blatant and juvenile, and battling her by means of political and procedural maneuvering or through the media , through public marches and online articles, all of that will be moral, worthy of man of principal. Her nominees can be blocked, her proposed laws voted down.”

In a post on his website, Beck clarified his remarks about Clinton, saying it doesn’t mean he’s endorsing or voting for her. . If the election were today, he said, he would vote for Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party, but that it’s “subject to change.”

Glenn Beck is an un-medicated manic depressive and should be hosptialized.

Her Agenda includes not appointing Conservative Justices; not protecting our borders. Beck is an obsessed crack-pot, misleading susceptible fools. The issue is the survival of America; his issue is trying to be a sanctimonious twit, to cover his personal humiliation. This is what listening to Beck's lunacy for ten minutes this AM convinced me to post:

Some Things That Need To Go Viral

1. Getting more people to watch Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News (7:00-8:00 EDT). He is probably the most effective pro-Trump voice on TV.

2. Without wasting effort by trying to name the most contemptible Trump detractor--or diverting attention from the issues crucial to the very survival of America--we need to put into juxtaposition, the insane narrative of the prissy poseurs, as a class, with the issues that are crucial to any American future. Can anyone, that is any rational person, suggest that Donald Trump's mistake in letting a recounting of a sexual fantasy, eleven years ago, be recorded, is 1/100,000th as important as any of a half dozen issues, where he is for America & Hillary Clinton is not.

3. Again, not getting into wasting time, or building a specific barrier against any sanctimonious twit returning to the cause, as a reformed prodigal; we must organize discussions that compare priorities. The more that we focus on what is really important, the stupider & less principled the sanctimonious twits will sound--and the more certain their comeuppance on November 8th.

Damn the pseudo intellectual poseurs--for that is what they truly are;--Damn the liars & Damn the lies! Full speed ahead. Trump to the White House!

That must be Soros and his money talking.

Next he'll be singing the praises of Van Jones and Vallerie Jarret

I think Mark Levin and Cruz has crawled back from the edge and now support Trump. Beck has jumped and now a Hillary supporter

“ If one helps to elect an immoral man to the highest office, then one is merely validating his immorality, lewdness, and depravity.”

Asshat.

You are electing Billary.

Will you then March against her under the banner you voted for the least evil of candidates?

Gary Johnson is pure as the driven snow? He walks on water and can feed thousands of people with just a couple loaves of bread and some fish?

The last guy who could actually do that carried your burden on a cross.

Put down the stone Glenn and sit amongst the rest of us.

“Why do Mormons oppose Trump?”

Perhaps they believe supporting abortion and a few more years of Boss Fraud’s policies will restore their allah-given right to multiple wives.

Beck is one of the ones who will be responsible for Hillary’s victory in November.

1. Beck is pronouncing himself a “moral, dignified man”. Yeah, right.
2. A moral, dignified person should chose the best of the available imperfect options. Clinton is the most cynical, corrupt, incompetent, amoral, dishonest, power-mad crook in modern times, and feeble in the bargain. Kaine is a communist clown, fit perhaps to sell popsickles as a bike vendor in Cuba. Trump is a highly successful, crass, self-promoting, meretricious, undereducated, inarticulate, womanizing jerk who understands the decline of America and wants to reverse it. Pence seems to be a solid, decent, dignified man, with knowledge, experience, and an executive temperament. He is by far the best of the bunch.

Beck should vote for Pence, who Trump will have running the government.

Instead of saving the Constitution “hanging by a thread” (as some Mormons believe they will), this jackwagon is actually doing everything he can to cut the thread. Unbelievable.

Glen stuck his face in Cheetos and that didn't work for him. I suggest he stuff the Cheetos up his ass and see if that helps. He is against Trump for moral reasons but he is OK with electing the most immoral and corrupt skank in the history of this country. Glen is a buffoon.
