In the first few minutes, Couric asks him about his party affiliation (he leans libertarian), and he starts his answer by saying that when he was younger, he was socially liberal, but that he was also an alcoholic. When he got sober, he realized that liberalism was really not all it was cracked up to be. Couric didn't like that at all, but Beck just does an aw-shucks and gets out of it. It is a great.

And you have a special day too, Clarabelle.

Why no “right wingers” go before tribunals like Couric?
is it ego?
Did anybody catch the last sentense from Katie? She said something about Glen possibly being the vessel for the angry Republicans “ simmering hate or delusionalism”
“I said I don’t think reading a script is all that much of a big job.”
Very true, same with playing football or swinging a golf club. Now, getting millions of people to watch you do it, that’s a big job.
Did he say something about abortion? The sound was very bad on my work computer besides having to keep it turned low. I gave up trying to hear what they were saying about 1/2 way through.
Yes, at the beginning of the interview. She asks if he things abortion should be illegal, he says yes.
Thanks. I’ll listen later at home.
The only thing you are being consistent about is misrepresenting Glenn Beck.
No, sometimes he speaks off his own prepared text in a monologue, calling this reading a script implies someone else has written the text, this is not correct. It is done pre-show for time constraints, making sure he doesn't go over, but for the most part on TV and always on radio, he speaks off the top of his head, as I wrote yesterday (and Glenn confirmed my thought last night on TV), he is thinking out loud.
It's *pardner* when you are using the vernacular.
Have you actually watched his show? From what I can see, I see him speaking on the fly, going with a train of thought, sometimes halting mid thought because something else just hit him, and he goes on with it.
Yea, he might have an outline, a general course of topics, and yes, they do plan out sound bites, and video, interviews etc. But when he's speaking, when he's up at the blackboard, it's all him.
He's asking questions; he's asking us to ask questions; he's pleading with America to wake up and take a good hard look at the big picture and what we are in great danger of losing.
I didn't initially like him when he moved to Fox. I'd never heard his radio show before, and I don't do CNN, and the first few times I watched him on Fox, I wasn't all that interested. But then a couple of weeks before the DC March, and because of some threads here, I started watching again.
More closely perhaps.
He genuinely loves this country. He's sees all the corruption, the lying, the cheating; the downright arrogant theft of the public trust and treasury and he's pissed
And you know what - SO AM I!
So go ahead a flame Beck for fighting for all those things that you yourself are here talking about if you want. For me I believe he's on our side.
We need all the weapons in our arsenal that we can get.
Ah, okay — I’ll remember than from now on, thank you.
The site must be getting a lot of hits; I can’t access it.
I'm curious. Who do you think is moving his mouth? Murdoch perhaps?
In Glenn speak it might be...”...and you are?...”
