Glenn Beck Discusses his McCain Comments and Katie Couric Interview on the O'Reilly Factor - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 24, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video of Glenn Beck talking with Bill O'Reilly tonight about his recent comments regarding John McCain, his interview with Katie Couric, and his belief that Israel will eventually strike Iran to keep them from obtaining nuclear weapons, if others do not prevent it first.

Beck said he believed McCain would be worse as President than Obama, not because he does not respect McCain's war service, but because he thinks Americans are being galvanized to oppose the leftist policies of Obama whereas they would not have been as shocked by McCain's policies that are less radical, but not really conservative. . . .

As an Arizonan, McCain is only wimpy when it comes to those opposed to conservative causes saying things that appease liberals. He is the consummate "can't we all just get along” guy. I've seen him in action against fellow Republicans and “it ain't pretty”.

He was, and is for amnesty, will support legislation (campaign reform) that puts the GOP at a distinct disadvantage. Beck is right, it would be the frog in the pot scenario and we would not have become so P*ssed so fast and not organize to stop socialism. That would have been a mistake.

Similar to 1992/93 when Rush found joy in the Clinton election because it would help drive up his audience for years. In modern times, Beck profits from Obama's election and would not be in the same spotlight had McLame been elected. It is interesting watching O'Reilly riding Beck's coattails.

McLame is also a socialist globalist except that if he was President the republicans would get the worse BLAME..

Since they already getting the blame.. for the socialism even the fascist government take over of various industrys..

Better the democrats get the blame.. because they caused most all of the current federal problems.. However; the democrats will still point to the republicans trying to hide their devolution of America..

I'm still trying find out what "I'm a unite'er not a divide'er" means.. it is STILL utter nonsense..

It would have been nice if O’Reilly would have STFU and let Glenn speak.

Beck is pandering by saying McCain would have been worse than Obama and that he might have voted for Hillary over McCain if she was the nominee. McCain would not have done half the things Obama has done, and we still don’t know that the Democrats will lose in 2010 or that Obama will lose in 2012. You can’t say that the fact that Obama has galvanized the right is reason to say that McCain would have been worse than Obama. Beck doesn’t know that the republicans wouldn’t have picked up seats with McCain as president. And also the right was united against the bailouts in the fall of 2008, before Obama was elected. I lost respect for Glenn Beck when he said that.

The more Beck is on Orly’s show, the more stupid Orly looks. He was embarrassing today. Not merely talking over Glenn, but frothing in his zeal to look “fair and balanced”. I was starting to wonder if he was disagreeing with everything Glenn said just to play devil’s advocate. But no! Orly wants to look completely neutral to the crazy ass libs.

What an embarrasment. Orly is the TV talk show equivalent of a RINO. He is not a liberal, but he is no friend to conservatives.

I completely disagree with Beck. McCain MIGHT be more dangerous if we had a Republican House and Senate. Then he would have a cooperative congress working with him. But giving a radical communist like Obama a Pelosi/Read lead communist Congress is FAR MORE dangerous than if they had to try to run their commie laws past McCain.

I do however understand Beck’s point: McLame might not have awakened the independents the way Obama’s massive socialist over-reaching has. The success of socialist incrementalism would have marched on unchecked with McLame. With Obama, there is some small chance that the electorate will stymie Obama’s immediate agenda, and may remain awake a few years demanding a reversal of the big government policies of Baby Bush and Clinton before him.

That was Beck’s point.

O’Reilly’s jealousy of Beck is obvious. O’Reilly can’t stop making snide remarks about Beck, interrupting him, and contradicting him. STFU, Bill!

Beck hit the nail on the head. The silver lining of the Obama victory is the defeat of John McLame.

As a man you have to admit that if you had lazier beer goggle surgery and you met Katie you would be all about it. I am honest and I would have to do what is right by my manly nature. I think it was Judge Roy Bean who once said” ... outlawed drinking, gambling, and whoring; everything that comes natural to a man. ...”
