Are You A “Becker?”

Elective Decisions ^ | 02/22/10 | Chris Davis

Do you feel the incessant need to blame Republicans for all the evil in the world? Do you breakdown into fits of crocodile tears? Do you constantly say that America must be unified to defeat Democrats when we’re already unified against the liberal agenda? Do you feel that a third party will solve all of America’s ills? If you’ve answered yes to any of the above questions, then you’re likely a “Becker.”

I agree with you about CPAC. :)

[paulycy]

I fully support Glenn Beck’s search for current political truth and transparency. And he has been smart enough not to ask us to vote for him for public office. His place is out there doing research and sharing it with us IMO.

Now Glenn: If you lighten up just a bit every once in awhile people won’t get too burned out on doomsday, even if it is coming soon.

We can’t rend our clothing and gnash our teeth five days a week. We can’t afford all the clothing and we are quickly running out of short, stubby teeth. ;0)

Go Glenn!

[writer33]

Wake up, “Becker,” and read the entire piece where Beck is sourced saying he is leaning toward a third party.

[GeronL]

Has Beck called for a third party or has he simply said that RINO’s will cause one to happen?

[trisham]

LOL!

[writer33]

Glennbeckian is good.

[streetpreacher]

I’ve seen this behavior on FR every time we get closer to an election: the party line is towed and dissent is slammed.

[crosslink]

I listened to the speech and he said not all Republicans are progressive, He also said when are they as a party going to get it and kick out the rino’s in so many words. He is correct that they did run the country and did spend like drunken sailors. He does not advocate a third party. So what is this all about? Ratings? Good old boy network?

[eleni121]

Yup - a Becker and a Rusher and Ingrahamer etc. any media person who expertly expresses to the masses the frustrations at seeing this country going down the tubes -

[streetpreacher]

Saying that “we need to get away from a two-party system” is not the same thing as actively advocating a third party. You’re an over-reaching amatuer (who his humor pieces are not funny) prone to exaggeration. Go back to your blog.

Conservative Fox News personality Beck also said that he may have voted for Hillary Clinton over McCain had Clinton been the Democratic nominee in 2008.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think I would have much preferred her as president and may have voted for her against John McCain,” he tells Couric.

Here: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/24957/
“ GLENN: You know, I have to tell you, the answer is to get away from the two-party system because they are both progressives. Just progressive and progressive light. But they’re both progressives and they have been taking us down this road for over 100 years.”

Becker’s 90 minute cassette tape is at the clear tape part.

[streetpreacher]

who his = who’s

[Tanniker Smith]

Sorry, I see “Becker” and I think Ted Dansen. The man had a couple of good rants on that show, even if he’s actually a wacko lib.

[scfirewall]

This is absolutely the worst kind of muddled thinking and grade-school playground debate tactics that I could imagine. Rather than address the criticisms that Beck asserts regarding the Republican Party, the author (presumably you), makes up a silly term like “Becker”, and uses that term to trivialize and ridicule anyone who is fed up with liberalism in the Republican Party. This is exactly the kind of thing I would expect from some idiot yahoo in the leftwing MSM, but someone who calls himself conservative should know better. Congratulations for using childish Alinsky tactics on your own allies. It’s a lot easier than thinking.

Money post......$$$

Beck in only articulating what THOUSANDS of freepers have posted since I started coming here. I have heard him say repeatedly that a 3rd party is not the route to go, we need to take back the Republican Party.

Thing is, he ridiculed the birthers, and now there is hell to pay.

[writer33]

Wake up, “Becker!” And you call someone like Beck a professional. What an utter joke! Loser!

[Red Badger]

NO!.................

[swarthyguy]

What really gets me about Beck’s style is his aping of William F. Buckley. Leaning back in his chair, tie slightly askew, gesticulating and taking an inordinate amount of time to articulate his question.... that said, all that emotionalism makes me cringe.

Anyone else see it?

Around our house we’ve been disgusted with Republicans for quite a few years now. IMO, Beck’s just telling it like it is. The spending and earmarks during the Bush years, when we controlled all houses, was absurd. It didn’t “cause” the entire financial breakdown, but it didn’t do anything to help the situation. The GOP was in the position that the Dems are now (WH, House and Senate), and they squandered their opportunity to get our financial house in order.

[writer33]

Hell yes...I see it.
