Because Glen Beck is playing for ALL the marbles. He is not just a "fluff" entertainer, have you noticed, unlike RUSH, Lavin, Hannity, Ingram, O'Reiley, etc... Beck is actually DOING something besides just talking about the problems and ranting/complaining. He is EXPOSING genuine evil on both sides of the isle and haranguing them, shining the spot light upon them and ASKING PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE, MARCH, CALL and CONFRONT their "lawmakers". 2 MILLION people marched on Washington as a direct result of principles laid out by Glen Beck. Multitudes of people in power and powerful corrupt organizations have lost their jobs and their funding (Acorn) as a direct result of Glen Beck and his programs.

I have listened to RUSH for twenty plus years... talk is cheap and he has actually accomplished very little of lasting value. Yes RUSH TALKS and COMPLAINS and RIDICULES but that is it... NOTHING happens except for making people more upset and frustrated than they already are.

O'REALY... lets see... oh yes "The Culture Quiz" and ranting about child molesters... that's brave, in the mean time he makes multitudes of excuses for Obama, his administration, etc...that is going to make a lasting mark... NOT.

The difference between BECK and every one else out there is the fact that while entertaining, HE IS A GENUINE JOURNALIST who researches his material, exposes the truth. He does not just complain and rant about it... MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL he provides concrete actions that can be taken to mobilize Americans to hold people accountable and to take ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is something RUSH never does (except possibly for the 1994 elections).

I may be wrong but that is what I see and believe to be the difference. The reason why the competition is not promoting him is because GLEN IS NOT MEARLY A "talk show host", HE IS MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE! Heads have and will continue to roll as a direct result of what Glen Beck is doing... SEIU is now in his sights and Glen is turning up the heat BIG TIME. As for the rest; RUSH will parody Obama, talk football and golf; Hannity will rant and rail along with his supposed "Great American Panel" while accomplishing nothing, O'Realy will continue to waste broadcast time promoting himself, his "No Spin" (Right, what a joke) junk, holding useless "Culture Quizzes", and going after "soft targets" (child molesters, a few useless judges, etc) while totally ignoring the 1 million pound gorilla in the living room.

Remember: "Talk is CHEAP" and "ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS"! The reason why Glen is going to overtake them all is because Americans are tired of talk without action! The time for cheap talk is O V E R. America is right at the precipice of being destroyed from within and only decisive ACTION from an organized and well informed American public taking a stand for the VALUES and PRINCIPLES that made our nation great will suffice and that is what Glen Beck is doing both on the radio and TV.

While I agree and appreciate your points about action and making a difference, I will take one exception to your post, and it’s an important one: Glenn Beck is not a journalist, by his own admission. Big difference there, neither he nor I are just parsing, splitting hairs.

I like your answer but please calm down.

I tend to agree with a lot of what you said. The only reason I like BOR is his going after child molesters. I do not consider that a soft target because nobody says anything about these monsters. So good for BOR for shining a spotlight on the politicians who thwart good people wanting to protect children.

Mark Levin has been doing the Beck thing on his radio program before Beck got his show on FNC. I watched Beck a few times when he was on CNN and his 'gig' then was Islamofacism. He seems to have abandoned that. That is what gives me that nagging feeling that Beck hooks on to what is hot for the moment.

Thank you for your answer.

Please explain. Was he an organizer? While I've not seen Glen Beck yet I presume that the principles behind the tea parties (named such as a result of a segment by Rick Santelli) had already been in existence for quite a while.

Oh yes, we have noticed — multiple book deals, movie theater deals, broadway tours — nobody is as selfless in making his millions as fast as he can. He is the only believer among them, no doubt about it — idiot.

If you want to be taken seriously, drop the capitalized words and quotation marks and get the names of the people you are referencing correct. Otherwise, it’s just a rant.

That’s why we wonder why Limbaugh and Ailes for example, don’t pool their money on a conservative alternative to Fox News instead of wasting it trying to buy a football team. Why can’t we buy CBS? Why can’t we buy NBC? We need a network of our own.

***Because Glen Beck is playing for ALL the marbles.***

But is Glenn Beck playing WITH all his marbles? That's the question!

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

He needs to stop the googly psycho routine, because as soon as he starts that, I’m outta there. I change the channel when he starts making faces. Maybe I can only stand him in small doses. But I used to watch him a lot before he started all this googly business.
