Has anyone wondered...how did Glenn Beck get wealthy so quickly?

Posted on 04/25/2014 6:47:35 PM PDT by RushIsMyTeddyBear

I have wondered about Beck for a while, but loved his exposure of the communist network in the US. Since he left FOX...he seems to have changed...and the immediate disregard to the Bundy situation really made me sick. Beck didn't even give the guy the benefit of the doubt and touted the NYT version.

I know he has risen to fame since 2001, ghost written several books, had rallies, etc....but to have a network, now? A base in NY....a major website (so buggy and full of cookies it puts me off).

Does anyone else find this strange?

And claims to be for the liberty movement but cowers at an old gent saying (what he considers) off-colored remarks? Hello 1st Amdmt!

I just don't get it.

pop, I don’t mind that at all. I’m as capitalist as they come. I’m just left scratching my head as to why he won’t stand up for the liberty of Bundy and the gov overreach. I’m beginning to think Beck’s a fraud. JMO.

He is a bit emotional, but my view is that he is sincere, genuine, and tries to call things as he sees them. I have spent enough time with him and some of his friends to be convinced that he sincerely loves liberty and the God-inspired heritage of America as it was and as it should be. Do I watch or listen much to his shows? Not much any more... But he isn’t owned by anybody or any political party, in my opinion, anyway.

Asking an honest question. Not looking for ‘quality control’, with all due respect.

What did he say? I figured that he would bail but since I can’t stomach him any longer I don’t listen.

———. I’m beginning to think Beck’s a fraud. JMO.-——

Beck, Isn’t a fraud....he’s a entertainer....first and foremost....

That’s why guys like him and Hannity run from issues that might cost them viewers and advertisers....

Even Rush caved to a degree on the Fluke fiasco....

Rush made a mistake in language and finally owned up to it...

Glenn Beck is a freemason just like Limbaugh. They are not true friends of traditional Christians. Lenin did say “the best way to control the opposition to lead it ourselves.”

Bill Gates didn’t get rich by inventing Windows. He got rich by buying DOS from it’s inventor, then reselling it with his own brand name to IBM.

It’s all about timing, marketing, and picking the right investments.

No conspiracy needed.

He has investors and is plowing every nickel he has and can get into a media enterprise. He believes his investments will pay off. I think he is right.

He claims the truth stops here? And then fails to find out the truth? Give me a break.

One word for him...WEASEL.

I’m thinking it’s because he’s a really popular media personality. I don’t it, myself. His voice annoys me. However, I don’t understand why a lot of celebrities are popular.

For the first few months of listening to him on the radio I kept thinking of Beck as a used car salesman.

I would like to see any link that proves that Rush is a Free Mason.

One other thing. It took Mark Levin a long time to get back to talking to Beck. Bech stabbed everyone in the back years ago. I am sure there are still videos of the Levin radio show on youtube where Levin tore into him.

Beck, et al. Are terrified of saying anything the Fedzilla could contort into “fomenting rebellion”.

Masons aren't Christians?? WoW! That's NEWS to me.

Not mad, “bro”. Just questioning his intentions as of late.
