Glenn Beck in preacher mode..... I turned the radio off on the radio messiah
self | April 28th | self and Glenn Beck

Posted on 04/29/2014 8:25:04 AM PDT by dennisw

My beef is common enough. Overall I like what Glenn Beck has to say. But when we starts preaching and a straining emphatic preaching type voice. He does this with a number of topics so this is when I go -click-- I am out. At times he gets weepy as if he thinks he is a messiah of some kind

I did not like what he said about Bundy either

I like Beck well enough. When he gets preachy and tearful, I switch over to Laura Ingram or I switch over to NPR to let Diane Rehm piss me off for a while. Frankly, I really just miss Boortz.

I now believe Breitbart was correct.

There really is only Levin.

very sadly Rush doesn’t seem to say anything of interest or importance these days.

It’s just usually Apple, or his books, or what ever other blah, blah, blah.

But anything about our communist tyrant government? Nope.

“My wife can’t stand Mark Levin’s voice.”

I’ve had friends say the same thing, and I can see where they’re coming from, but there’s noone on radio or in print who i agree with more. I guess I’ve gotten used to it. He’s the worst natural radio guy of any of the big names(worst voice, least charm), but he’s the smartest and the most on point.

I stopped listening years ago when he continues to do this type of crap....”breaking big news is coming when I drop the details on this there will be major changes for our nation. It will hit to the core of corrupt politicians”

Next day same message but a little more oh my this is big... Too big to announce without getting everything right. We can’t let our detractors pick up on any mistakes on what we are releasing.”

Rinse repeat. Them either nothing gets announced our something stupid comes out like a taking America back campaign... Tell your neighbors.

He’s a modern day PT Barnum.

Hannity is a good person and try to do the right thing but he’s boring and repetitive

Beck sucks. Agreed.

When he's right, he's very, very right. But it's not all that often.

And I stopped listening because I couldn't take the hyperbole. "This is the MOST awesome, news-breaking, announcement that will change your life FOREVER...coming up at the top of the hour! Don't miss it!!" ... and it would turn out to be a new station carrying his show in Elbow, North Dakota, or something.

He's little more than a circus huckster. A conservative one ... but a huckster none the less.

I gave up on Beck when he started the practice of hyping some super sensational story all week and promising the details next Monday and then when Monday rolled around the “story” turned out to be an absolute nothing burger. I couldn’t trust him anymore after he started playing that game.

That is the same reason I quit watching/listening to him about the time he left FoxNews.

Unsubscribed to all of the Beck emails this week. Done with him.

For me it’s him and Alex Jones. Levin can be a bit too short on some callers, and Jones sometimes goes too fast, but I get a better product from them than the rest.

Yep. Right there with you.

I am perfectly capable of reading the Bible myself and doing my own historical research.

I do not need Glenn to preach to me.

Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc, are all designed to keep us marching like good little slaves in the right/left republican/democrat paradigm. As long as we stay in that political box they have achieved the purposes of the power structure in this country.

True, dat! I like Rush's wit and humor, can't stand Hannity, But Levin is brilliant. If I can't listen live I always catch his podcast.

Yes, a false prophet that thinks he's the messiah. Got tired of his lyin' and cryin' long ago. Like Hannity he's right sometimes but it's not worth wading thru all of the crap. Hey,even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

After both threw Mr Bundy under the bus I'm done with both phonies.

I miss Quinn and Rose.

That is exactly my reaction. He has no stomach for the fight. He’d said before that when the time came he hoped he’d have the courage not to run and hide, but I know his true colors. He’s a moral coward. I’ll never listen to him again.

Turned Beck off because of comments he made about Bundy. I have no intentions of turning him on again.
