Glenn Beck wants to heal the America he divided — one hug at a time
The Washington Post ^ | March 14, 2017 | Marc Fisher

“I’m not willing to do this anymore,” he says. He leans over, drops his head as if in penitence and pronounces himself riven with regrets.

Now, at 53, Beck sees a nation of people who are at one another’s throats, and he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults, his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer. He believes that his radio show and his TV shows and his rallies on the Mall paved the way for the incivility, intolerance and general indigestion that now plagues the body politic.

Didn’t pay close attention to it, but wasn’t his rally in DC a patriotic rally?

In reality it was a MEEEEEE ego rally. It served absolutely no purpose other than let him grandstand in public.

Glenn Beck is a joke, nothing more than a liberal charlatan. He campaigned harder against Trump than Hillary did. I’ve been done with Beck for years. He is a master of psychological manipulation. He starts out a speech,talk,or segment appearing to be pro conservative or for the conservative candidate, BUT will spen the next hour explaining how that conservative idea or person he “supports” is totally wrong and an evil SOB.
I also got fed up when he and his two cohorts would all start babbling and yuk yuking it up ridiculing a person or subject they started out as trying to appear in favor of.
They sounded to me like an audio version of a Three Stooges episode.

He is what it looks like when one loses their mind and becomes certifiable crazy.

Glenn went suicidal over a very minor butt operation. So yeah, certifiable CRAAAAAZY.

Beck gives himself far far far too much credit. Is anyone still listening to him?

I don’t let people who stink of Cheetos get to close to me.

No offence Beck, but it’s a personal rule

nicely deflecting - in WaPo no less - from the fact it was/is the FakeNewsMSM creating the DIVISION, not Beck.

Sister and I used to watch Beck’s afternoon show on Fox - one day we were chatting about the program on the phone and both came to about the same conclusion spontaneously - we each ended up feeling depressed most days after the show was finished - never checked with her, but I didn’t watch very much after that realization hit......

Beck is obviously greasing a pre-planned slide to the left.

He’s destroyed his credibility on the right, and is facing a catastophic collapse of his media business, so where else can he go, but to the left?

Crazy like a fox.

There was no culture/constitution war before Beck created it, don’t you know? What a kook.
