Glenn Beck Talks to Bill O'Reilly About Why GE is Hurting America - Video 8/11/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 11, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 08/11/2009 7:07:18 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Glenn Beck talking with Bill O'Reilly tonight about General Electric and what they are doing to hurt America. Glenn Beck has come out and said the company is "evil," but O'Reilly said he thinks that may be over the top.

Beck discussed the fact that GE has become a huge "banking entity," and likened it to having the arrogance of Enron. Beck believes the government is now helping GE as a payback for MSNBC's (owned by GE) huge support of the Obama Campaign.

Beck also responded to GOP Congressman Bob Inglis of South Carolina, who called Beck a person who "trades on fear." Beck said he does not want to be a "fearmonger," but rather he simply wants to tell the truth to America. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Thank you for posting.

I loved how Bill O’Reilly ended the segment with, “...don’t be frightened.” LOL.

BOR seems to think he owns Foxes agenda.I don’t think so and I think Beck is a serious threat if the country goes hard right.

‘Glenn Beck has come out and said the company is “evil,” but O’Reilly said he thinks that may be over the top.’

I’m pretty sure that BOR has used similar language against GE in the past....

BOR got a hardon for GE and Immelt over their alleged Iranian dealings but really has piled it on during his feud with Olbermann and MSNBC. He must be getting good legal advice, since some of BORs bloviating sure seems borderline slanderous to my (laypeson) ears.

What was the deal on the huge infomercial from Hannity promoting GM today? I won’t be buying anything from Obama Motors, and I was disgusted to hear Hannity promote it.

GE is 10X worse than Enron ever wanted to be. They are actually insolvent if you look at their financials.

FIrst of all GE carries $82 BILLION on their balance sheet as “GOODWILL” which is accounting-speak for BS. Equal to about 10% of assets. Horsefeathers. They are swimming in debt. Debt equals about 80% of assets.

They will not survive without Obama to print about $400 billion for them which is my calculation of BS on the books - half of their assets are financing receivables. What is the chance of collecting those hundreds of billions?

GE is the next one - GE stands for Goobermint Electric just like GM stands for Gubmint Motors. Wait and see.

Aside from any dirty business dealing GE is simply TOO BIG. It should be split up. They are in every sector and should face antitrust.

Surprisingly, CNBC seems pretty conservative. Unlike the regular news, no one will watch a business channel that isn’t credible. And Fox Business is right on their tail besides.

GM is a sponsor of his radio show. I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure that GM is also still a sponsor for Beck, Rush and Laura Ingraham’s shows. It is disturbing.

Glen is getting closer to the truth. I suspect that 0bama is, in true Chicago fashion, more or less directly using the trillions(!) he’s looting from the taxpayer to line the pockets of countless “friends”.

How easy this would be illustrates the extreme danger of socialist governments. There is far too much interaction between government and the private sector for there to be effective oversight. Corruption flourishes.

God save America!

“GE is the next one - GE stands for Goobermint Electric just like GM stands for Gubmint Motors. Wait and see.”

Your analysis is depressingly accurate.

I’m sure it’ll be: “GE is too big to fail!”

The free market must be restored.
