My feelings, 100%. I never did like him, from square one. I was even banned from the Philly 1210 forum because of my negative postings about his show.
I have yet to see Beck lie to help anyone. He may sound crazy at times, but what he predicts usually happens. I think he is one of the few in media who actually do their homework and report on it.
Quit bashing Beck. Thats what the left wants you to do.. or what a troll would want you to do.
From wikipedia. (I know I know...)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_election_recount
Candidate outcomes based on potential recounts in Florida presidential election 2000
(outcome of one particular study)
Review of all ballots statewide (never undertaken)
• Standard as set by each county canvassing board during their survey Gore by 171
• Fully punched chad and limited marks on optical ballots Gore by 115
• Any dimples or optical mark Gore by 107
• One corner of chad detached or optical mark Gore by 60
Review of limited sets of ballots (initiated but not completed)
• Gore request for recounts of all ballots in Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Volusia counties Bush by 225
• Florida Supreme Court of all undervotes statewide Bush by 430
• Florida Supreme Court as being implemented by the counties, some of whom refused and some counted overvotes as well as undervotes Bush by 493
Unofficial recount totals
• Incomplete result when the Supreme Court stayed the recount (December 9, 2000) Bush by 154
Certified Result (official final count)
• Recounts included from Volusia and Broward only Bush by 537
From the Washington times:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12623-2001Nov11.html
” In all likelihood, George W. Bush still would have won Florida and the presidency last year if either of two limited recounts — one requested by Al Gore, the other ordered by the Florida Supreme Court — had been completed, according to a study commissioned by The Washington Post and other news organizations.
But if Gore had found a way to trigger a statewide recount of all disputed ballots, or if the courts had required it, the result likely would have been different. An examination of uncounted ballots throughout Florida found enough where voter intent was clear to give Gore the narrowest of margins.”
oops, I meant Washington Post
I will never forgive Glenn Beck for screaming “Bull Crap” at Sarah Palin during an in -person interview.
Beck is getting a little bit too full of himself. Or maybe because she isn’t a Mormon? I don’t know why he would talk like that to a lady.
good lord. i read these threads and wonder if these people are even watching the same show i am.
That was not what Beck said. He said Gore demanded that certain RAT-heavy counties be recounted, not the whole state, and that if Gore was demanding a recount, why not recount the whole state. Beck never said Gore would have (or should have)won. I saw the show. Did you, or the other Beck-bashers posting on this thread?
SCREAMED bullcrap? he had laryngitis for God’s sake! he was unfailingly polite and nice to sarah palin and clearly wanted to help her out and encourage a legit answer to his question. saying ALL OF THEM to his question as to which was her favorite founding father was weak, and she did eventually get out a reasonably decent answer, because he ENCOURAGED her.
I recall Beck saying this, but I also recall it was in terms of the asshats checking hanging chads.
Had they tossed enough votes in a statewide recount they may have scammed the election?
This post reminds me of Alinsky’s Power Tactics:
Rule #13 - Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.
I saw the show - he did say it.
Don’t know if it’s true or not - but he said it.
He was making the point that the rats are crooked and only wanted to recount in areas where they thought they would pick up votes - and that if they had recounted all the votes in the state (which Glenn thought would have been the fair thing to do) - instead of cherry picking it - Gore would have won.
We can certainly find a clip - no?
Sure he is...

Beck constantly lumps Bush with Obama in causing the current crisis. He worried that Scott Brown would turn out to be a “progressive lite” and said he would be watching Brown like a hawk. He says Republicans can’t be trusted either but doesn’t have the stones to say it to the face to any of his GOP guests like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman or Jim Demint. He rants about Marxists in the administration then goes on O’Reilly and giggles like aschool girl. At the Tea Party, he is the Mad Hatter. He does a lot of good, but doesn’t want to share the credit for saving democracy.
Bull Crap.
“Beck constantly lumps Bush with Obama in causing the current crisis.”
Well, bravo on that one item.
WOW, that’s intelligent. did you watch the show? were you aware that he had laryngitis and could barely speak when she was on? your opinion loses credibility when you are just flat out wrong about objective facts.
I am sorry for that. But now you know how Sarah Palin felt to be talked to like that.
What does it matter if he has laryngitis or not? If you have laryngitis that give you the right to cuss out your guest on your TV show?
They can't.
Where were you when Republicans were in charge of both houses of congress and Bush was president?
Did you miss the massive spending bills and deficit spending from the Republican congress which Bush refused to veto?
” but doesn’t have the stones to say it to the face to any of his GOP guests like Sarah Palin, “
I take it you never watched the Beck interview with Sarah Palin then? He said exactly that.
