Without issuing in yet another troubling litany of ad hominem posts against Glenn Beck, two questions: 1) Watch the video and comment on why Buchanan says what he says 2) Are you accepting at this point Beck's thesis that these demonstrations have been largely orchestrated by leftist American (etal) organizations?

“Pat Buchanan added that Republicans have a “responsibility and a duty” to make sure Beck isn’t speaking for conservatives.”

I’ve never understood the logic behind labeling people as spokesman for a given group without the slightest indicia of authority or association. Beck is not a spokesman for white males, talk show hosts or recovering alcoholics any more than Al Sharpton speaks for all blacks or all obese people with weird hair. Beck speaks for Beck, and we are all free to agree or not agree with what he says. Pat Buchanan damn sure doesn’t speak for me or for Republicans, any more than the moron Joe Scarborough does. No one can speak for anyone without their consent.

The name of that fringe show should be called Morning Vomit.

Pat and Joe... one Neo-Con and one Rino...and that’s the kind of people that elected us Obama and had Bush pass the tarp bill. Prefect examples for fakes infiltrating the party.

Joe has gone over to the dark side 10 years ago.

Joe & Pat are “hasbeens.” Their days are behind them...can’t even say “better days.”

Beck went odd the edge when he equated Reform Judism to Radical Islam.

Only a nut would make such a comparison.

‘Losing it Before Our Eyes’

Could be MSNBC’s motto instead of Fall Forward.

I listened to the tape and I agree with all of them. Beck’s going over the edge, he’s not stable and it worries me no end. I really mean that- it’s not insincere or sarcastic .

And please save yourself the trouble of calling me a “concern troll”- I’m not. I can’t stand Joe Scarborough either :)

I have several friends who loved him on CNN Headline (as did I) and were thrilled when he came to FOX- but after a few months- they quit watching him.

The man has become a caricature.

Joe, you lost a long time ago. If you don't like the way things are now, switch to the marxist party.

Or maybe you already have.

The Egyptian uprising immediately smelled to me like the velvet revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia (and Uzbekistan) and it was my immediate question here at FR. So Beck’s reporting confirmed what I already believed.

The Ukrainian uprising was put together by an alphabet soup of organizations coordinated by the State Department and Soros. This is not to take away from the Ukrainians themselves, but still these things don’t happen in a complete vacuum. See Georgia’s uprising. See Uzbekistan’s uprising. Same pattern.

There have been reports in the press that the Egypt uprising was in fact coordinated by the State Department. We know that Soros’s gang has been in and out of Cairo in numbers the last two years. They made a big show of bringing in El Baradei, who as it happens sits on a board with Soros (of an organization funded by Soros).

And then we have Google’s special projects group operating there. And we have comments by the foreign leftist participants themselves commenting on the splendid organizing skills of the Muslim Brotherhood. So, yes, pretty much everything Beck says is true. It is denied by the headlines and confirmed if you read the comments of participants when they are talking for their own consumption. Which shouldn’t be a surprise since most everything Beck broadcasts is taken from the people themselves, video and their own written statements.

In other words, the information isn’t that hard to find, you just have to read past the headlines, where they deny it, to the meat of the story where they confirm it.

Pat Buchanan is a democrat. He should get out of the republican party and peddle his old southern democrat ideas elsewhere. He is a plant, he doesn’t belong.

People just do not want to believe bad things are happening because the breadth and depth of the evil is something far beyond what we normally imagine. It is human nature like when people are shocked that it is THEIR town or neighborhood or house to get ravaged by natural disaster etc. The “I never thought this would happen to me” syndrome which we have as a nation. We think things can’t happen because we are U.S. Reminds me of scary movies where more and more obvious things are happening and the people keep brushing them off as “nothing”...meanwhile the audience, in this case the people following the information, are screaming...CAN’T YOU SEE IT? NOBODY WOULD BE THIS OBLIVIOUS. Ah, but we are. Like wishing symptoms of a scary illness away etc.

Scarborough is the guy who keeps saying ‘Everything important gets done in the middle’, i.e. the RINO way is the right way. He is much like many establishment Repus. They hate conflict beyond a certain point and will always ‘compromise’. Those who see ‘compromise’ just means cutting the size of the beast not killing it are always disturbing to the Sunny Jim's of the political world.

Guest commentator Pat Buchanan added that Republicans have a “responsibility and a duty” to make sure Beck isn’t speaking for conservatives.

That's fine....as long as you also stipulate that neither of you two bozos speak for conservatives either.

Hmmm. Has Joe read any of the publications or materials Glenn Beck usually mentions? After all, Glenn says don’t believe him; read it for yourself.

I have never been all that excited about Beck but I do not understand why there is all this animus against him.

Scarborough, on the other hand, has always struck me as being somewhat deranged.

Buchanan? Well... he is sort of like the Mr. Magoo of Conservative politics. Not a really serious voice.
