I was a huge Glenn Beck fan initially when he had his show on Fox News. He had very relevant topics and supported his stuff conclusively with a little cynicism and audacity.
About 3 years ago, here on FR, I predicted he would soon be relegated to "Fringe" because his bombacity and cynisism was escalating into fanatical conspiracy at every turn. I was spot on. Within a year from my prediction, he was done at Fox News and the mainstream began to ignore him as a lunatic.
He still does great work but may never overcome the stigma he has brought on all by himself. Content is important but so is credibility and perception (which can be one in the same for many).
Remember when Geraldo staked his career on a secret Ganster Vault in Chicago? He was so sure he opened it on live TV? That is the direction Beck has been going. I root for his success. He is on our side. But he is no longer taken seriously.
Do you mean the Fox News whose largest external stock holder was Al-Waleed bin Talal’s Kingdom Holdings, the same bin Talal who donated twenty million dollars to Harvard just before Barack entered Harvard Law, who offered Giuliani ten million after 9/11, and who, according to Malcolm X's personal attorney, and former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, was Barack’s patron, financing Barack’s education at least from Columbia years (whether or not he was ever at Columbia) and from Occidental years?
When Vernon Jordan, Valerie's father-in-law, wrote about bin Talal’s education program in 1979, managed by former Black Panther founder, and now lawyer for the Saudi Family, Khalid al Mansour nee. Don Warden, who became a Wahhabi convert in the 1960s, long before CIA Director John Brennan's conversion, Barry was being sponsored by bin Talal at Occidental. It is a tangled web, but the Muslim Brotherhood runs through it, with the common interests of the radical left never far away.
Beck is wrong about lots of things, and avoids Chief Justice John Marshall, Chief Justice John Jay, Chief Justice Morrison Waite (Minor v. Happersett), and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes (Perkins v. Elg), using Alinsky techniques. But when we know most of our representatives, judges, and most of the media are afraid of the truth, I'll assume Beck's family has been threatened because the Constitution, for those few who know to read it carefully (there are not definitions in the Constitution), is unequivocal, our President must be a natural born citizen. Four Chief Justices confirmed, one Supreme Court case required, and the author of the 14th Amendment, reiterated the never doubted common-law definition, “born on our soil to parents who were its citizens.”
Republicans promote one naturalized citizen as candidates in 2016, including Jindal, Rubio, Cruz, and Haley, after another because they are complicit. They knowingly protecting Obama because if the WaPo and NYT can spend over eight years proving McCain's ineligibility, with the able assistance of constitutional, and mostly Democrat lawyers, and Obama with Hillary and Leahy sponsoring two Senate bills to try to support McCain's eligibility, SB. 2678, Feb 2008 and SR. 511 (Apr 2008), their understanding and complicity is evidence in the Senate records. Obama would not be president, and isn't, in any case, a constitutional office holder, were it not for Republicans, whose most famous lobbyist, Grover Norquist, whether or not he has converted to Islam to join his wife, is an active and aggressive supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, and promoter of CAIR former director, and CPAC board member, Suhail Khan.
