Glenn Beck is irresponsible in his leadership

I agree too. Sometimes conservatives accuse liberals of being a herd, but they seem to behave in similar fashion.

I disagree that Beck has not put himself in a position to lead a movement. I watch Beck regularly and believe he has made big contributions to understanding who are undermining our constitutional form of government. However, today he did a mumble-jumble act that the best I could make out was that ‘birthers are as dangerous and crazy as the commies he has been chasing and certainly do not belong in his grouping of constitutionalists. I consider myself a constitutionalist from my pre-WWII grade school education. I also consider myself as a ‘birther’ more atuned to strict reading of constitutional eligibility than to trying to get BHO to release documents proving his eligibility. Beck, BOR and others on FOX try to get us into their fold but instead end up, I think intentionally, denigrating us. WHY? He should go back to exposing subversives instead of preaching what is needed to be his kind of consttutionalist. WHY NOT?

here is another reason - becktardz are rude

Rather than working to insult and demean, why don't you try to persuade others to join your side of the discussion? Once you sink to the depths of name calling, you have lost the argument.

[fish hawk]

You lost me on that one??? Beck is for everything you mentioned, and so am I. Evidently you don’t watch Beck and watch the MSM.

Dont be so sensitive.. its not about You..

[ that is still not accurate. Mccain and Bush are not like the democrat progressives. ]

To be a progressive is to be a progressive.. their is little difference.. its sedition...

[alrea]

Beck is toast

That is funny. He could be on CNN and do fine.

[hosepipe]

[ beck has said MANY times that democrats and republicans are the same ]

Sooo..... you think Beck does not know the difference between John McLame and Ron Paul?..

Do YOU know the difference between McLAme and Paul?..

Beck is not a leader. He is a television personality who makes money by having people listen to him, regardless of whether or not they believe what he has to say.

[editor-surveyor]

Beck isn’t a leader, he’s a word salesman.

Must be tough to find out your hero, the back bencher
didn’t come up with his information first.

[sloop]

probably right - stuff like this:

You feel hopeless because you need someone to tell you what to do. You are looking for a leader on the television.

I take serious offense with his continuous drive toward a third party. That idea is reprehensible and he should know better, and has been pulled by the ear by many conservatives because of it. Yet, he continues.

I think he's off the third party train. Sarah seems to have burst that dream for him when she emphatically stated that she's a Republican and intends to remain Republican.

My learned husband never missed Glenn Beck's program and thinks he jams more information into one hour than anyone else on TV and I agree with him on that count.

Glenn Beck is not right on all counts and he goes to the exrteme to drive home his POV, and like you, I take issue with him when he compares Bush to Marxist Obama or the 111th GOP congress to Reid and Pelosi's democrat congress.

Roger Ailes has given Beck a remarkable research staff and they've come through with some amazing facts! It is my hope that he will concentrate more on the enemy in the White House and less on the very weak comparisons to the Bush administration, particularly since Obama does more than enough of that.

I might add, that Glenn Beck is a self-described Libertarian with conservative leanings, who usually votes Republican. At least he's been up front about it. It's also quite striking to me that he told Katie Couric that he would have probably voted for Hillary Clinton, yet just last week, he used that clip of Hillary wherein she called herself "a modern progressive." I rest my case. :)

i know this

the discussion was about beck saying the democratz and republicans are the same

he does say this - and says it often - it can't be denied - even becktardz admit that (and possibly agree with him)

i don't know if beck knows the difference between mccain and paul

i do know that beck does not openly support ron paul - if he does support ron paul, he hides it on his show

if i do or do not understand the difference between mccain and ron paul, it is not relevant to the post or the thread

i also know that beck was much, much, much more toned down on cnn - i wonder if he compromised his principles and gave in to any cnn demands while there

this i am not sure of - doesn't ron paul caucus with the republicans?

[hosepipe]

Beck does not want to be seen as a right wingnut..
and be discounted as a republican hack..

He is, of course, as is anyone with an once of savvy...
Most democrats do not know just being a democrat is a "dis"..
So the illusion is needed so democrats can "save face"..
In my opinion.. but you know I'm right..
