Glenn Beck wants to heal the America he divided — one hug at a time
The Washington Post ^ | March 14, 2017 | Marc Fisher

“I’m not willing to do this anymore,” he says. He leans over, drops his head as if in penitence and pronounces himself riven with regrets.

Now, at 53, Beck sees a nation of people who are at one another’s throats, and he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults, his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer. He believes that his radio show and his TV shows and his rallies on the Mall paved the way for the incivility, intolerance and general indigestion that now plagues the body politic.

The problem with this article is that it seems to say that all the division comes from the right. It comes from both sides, and most of the people on either side are not willing to confront their side's part in this.

Beck needs medication, a muzzle, and a strait-jacket, not necessarily in that order. The man is very emotionally unstable, besides being a dry drunk.

The bigger problem with the article is that it’s about Glenn Beck who is an insane whackjob.

Oh, please. It’s about the drug-addicted Glenn Beck who like David Brock is perfectly ok with stabbing America in the back.

It appears as though Beck has decided to take on all the sins of Obama upon his own shoulders. Good for him. What a dumbass. At least he’s building a fan club down at the WaPo.

Yes Glenn, the mood of the whole country changes over what you say or don't say.

I can’t believe how me and my family followed him early on; but then I and my uncle slowly detected something weird about him that we first of couldn’t place. Now we all do.

...he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults..."

That's all well and good Glenn, perhaps I can forgive you, but I will NEVER forget what you've said and done.

Sorry, Glenn. I don’t want a hug from you. It’s really difficult to get those yellow, Cheetos handprints out of the back of my shirt.

No, Glenn is trying to become "relevant" and he isn't, shan't ever be, and should just shut up and go away.

Many people stopped paying him any mind and I guess his bottom line is hurting. It's going to stay that way and a good thing too.

In this twit-verse, these idiots don’t go away. They continue to fester in our mind for years or decades after they should have never been heard from again.

Glenn should have moderated his tone last year. What little credibility he had left, he destroyed. He started taking out loans from someone else, and destroy a good part of that too.

"It comes from both sides, and most of the people on either side are not willing to confront their side's part in this."

The communists/socialists/progressives have been playing this game since Marx with no letup. It is a VERY recent phenomenon that their opponents have realized this and begun to use the same tactics....in most cases to better effect.
