Say what you want about Glenn Beck, but you surely have to admit that he woke up one hell of a lot of people about Soros, Van Jones and the background of Obama’s “Czars”.
Yes, he’s a little ‘crazy’ by some people’s definition and yes, he cries more than he should. Big deal. He’s a Patriotic American with high moral family values.
He loves America and isn’t ashamed to show it. We need more like him, IMO.
Thanks for saying that.
I want to weep,too, when I consider what is happening to this country.
I listen to Glenn’s radio program just about every day. He is not pushing Romney. He leans toward Santorum more than anything else.
I say bring him back. Don’t watch him if you don’t like him.
he can't hide that he's a fallen away Catholic turned stylish Mormon now...and even though Romney represents everything that Beck has been against, if Beck backs him, then we'll KNOW for sure what a fake Beck is...
I did not need a crybaby to give me this information...but if people need that, more power to 'em.
Greetings panaxanax:
Glenn Beck was to Fox sNooze what 60 Minutes (in the early 70’s) was to SeeBS. So what if he’s melodramatic and cries?
When O’Reily started pushing for homosexual union adoption of children is when I finally shut off the TV. But I did watch GB online at watchglennbeck and CNN.
Beck is well informed. His gloom and doom market predictions for 2008 were spot on. Only wished I paid attention sooner.
Cheers,
OLA
I agree with you about Beck.
I agree.
You can add to the list of Beck’s accurate predictions that his opponents will be praying for a return to the days when he was only on one channel for one hour/day.
I catch his GBTV sporadically, since it is at an inconvenient time, right now. I do watch parts of previous day’s shows on replay. This week was again one of those where he sliced through the fog of the current media and brought interesting people on to speak and share. Yesterday’s show centered on the surveillance society and while I did already know _some_ of what was presented, some was new to me. Anyone can take advantage of his 2 weeks free offer and review the GBTV show that is live at 5pm eastern on weekdays.
Does he cry on his radio show? I never watch/listen to it. He occasionally chokes up for a bit on the TV show. He is obsessive and he knows far more than he is able to present coherently in even 2 hours/day plus an hour of The Blaze. I think he tends to work to exhaustion and takes pains to be comprehensive and balanced. I see him constantly asking his guests if his own predictions are accurate. Usually, they say “Yes”. Sometimes, they say :”It isn’t quite that bad or quite that imminent”. He never castigates a guest who doesn’t agree with him totally.
So, he hates Newt? Aren’t we all still entitled to our personal opinions? Is he over the top? What presenter isn’t? Conservatives have wanted a conservative TV channel. Back in the 90s there were several that really sucked, were boring and never went against the establishment. Now, there is Beck and the criticism is against his personal faith, his personal style and the fact that he isn’t in lockstep with some mythical conservative consensus. Some carp that he is making money. Isn’t that what capitalism is all about?
Has anyone done some rough calculations of what two sound stages, a news operation, the staff to run it all and the utilities to keep it going must cost? I think he has put aside a nut to take care of his family and is reinvesting everything back into his business. I think his books and concerts, plus the network and The Blaze show an active creative mind, ADD or not. No one is forced to watch, read or listen.
Now, I actually am reading some FReepers saying that they have “warmed” to The Five because some female presenter has good legs? So, how many of the Beck haters are really working for Cass Sunstein?
