In case you’re wondering why so many people watch Glenn Beck watch this. This is Beck at his most…entertaining. Beck opened tonight’s show with what can only be described as a tour-de-force excoriation of yesterday’s Joe Klein article accusing Americans of being dumb. Fifteen minutes worth. It was, to put it plainly, brilliant theater. A cast of thousands with Beck playing all the parts.
Any youtube link - link here doesnt work on moblies
Glenn’s an entertainer who informs, and thereby he reaches millions more people than somebody with a C-span demeanor ever would.
The best. Watched it twice thanks to DVR
It is not news anymore with Beck...so you have to start scratching your head. This is something a bit different now.
That's just the way those silly moblies are. Cute little creatures, but not YouTube friendly. Does yours eat much? ;-)
Is Beck’s show replayed during the overnight hours?
2AM IIRC.
Yes, three AM, I think.
Yes, the show is replayed at 2:00am eastern.
bttt
replay @ 1 am central time.
Glenn is both very intelligent and entertaining. This piece captures both qualities. Absolutely hilarious!
I agree. And I'm loving it more and more. I think of him as the guy handing out the pro revolution flyers around 1774. Ridiculed or not, this guy scares progressives and closet communists to no end. I hope that's all they need is someone shining the light on these little cockroaches and their history. Do you think how weird older folks must feel when they see an avowed communist get a presidential appointment? Or a senior administration official who's favorite philospher is Mao? That scared the crap out of me and the rest of my family.
It's right that at least somebody out there is trying to remind us of who those people actually were. A man that killed 20 million of his own people is considered a worthy philosopher to someone in a high position of our gov't. The thought makes me sick....
sorry for the rant/ you just got me thinking.... :)
I've been archiving Glenn for months now, so my granddaughter will have access to what really happened, after the leftists destroy the Republic and install their final federal oligarchy and write History as they want it to read.
Unfortunately, he didn’t recognize that Klein’s school, the University of Pennsylvania, is an ivy league school. He said it wasn’t.
Not that it’s a big deal, but his staff should have checked that out for him, only because he might be called out on it. Why give Klein the ammunition?
I think Beck is very informative, and you can learn a lot from him. I just wish he’d tone it down a little. I think he would be more effective if he did, but that’s just me.
What is the point of your reply?
There is no such thing as “Mormon of the year” chosen by “church leadership”. The statement is just devoid of any basis in fact.
Are your comments about BYU supposed to lead one to believe that BYU is a hotbed of the Democratic Party and that the church is endorsing Reid? You seem to be employing the usual tactic of attributing the comments made by an individual, speaking as an individual, with no official status or capacity, as though they represent an official church position. “I am a Democrat because I am a Mormon, not in spite of it,” he said.” What Reid said in a public forum as one of many guest speakers invited over the course of the year by the university (most universities do this too) are his opinion alone and clearly not any official church position. Mormons are among the most consistently conservative and republican of voters as attested to in a recent Gallup poll. To infer otherwise is disingenuous. So because Reid made his comment regarding EVs it now makes the whole event a “common platform to attack evangelicals” as though there were a whole list of speakers who followed speaking with the same type of distorted vitriol I normally find applied against the Mormons by EVs. CFR on your assertion that the entire event was a platform designed to attack evangelicals. Reid is a politician and he is playing on the disappointment many Mormons feel when attacked for their beliefs by EVs as a way to attack the Republican Party. Furthermore, by your logic I ought to be able to infer that Fred Phelps and members of the Westborough Baptist Church are typical Baptists and therefore whatever they say is “official” and representative of all Baptists. I wouldn’t do that because I can recognize the difference between one individual or organization and the entire body.
I’m not sure what the point or relevance of your post was, perhaps you felt the need to establish your anti-Mormon credentials on FR. Anyway, if I want to observe a ‘common platform to attack” from anyone I’ll wait for the annual “Trot out the professional anti-Mormon” guest speaker down at the local church. Or better yet, I’ll go to the FR Religion board.
No, he said it was ivy...just ivy lite. He said someone from Harvard would think of Penn as the Ivy Trailerpark....a double wide, but still a trailer. It was pretty doggone funny. :)
Hey, you don’t see Oral Roberts University giving Fred Phelps awards and allowing him to speak at large events.
BTW, has Beck ever been invited to speak to faculty and students at BYU ?
Actually, I’m not anti-Mormon, I’m former Mormon. Mainly concerned about the direction of the large mormon dominated voting block in the midwest. Beck or Reid...Which way will it swing ? Looks like Reid to me if they follow the leaders.
Check your facts before you complain to the mods....I speak the truth, every word.
Thanks. I misunderstood.
