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

Posted on 03/23/2017 2:40:15 PM PDT by TBP

“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.

This piece of filth was DOA to me since he started crying while on Fox.

What a maroon. Either he’s back off the wagon or he needs to be off the wagon. Not sure which.

. . . his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer

Beck has a point. Who are we to conclude that the side fighting to protect innocent babies, the rule of law, and the Constitution is right, while those who celebrate abortion, illegal rapists, and judicial activism are somehow not as good?

This guy used to be half-way coherent and credible in his reporting.

But he has descended into blubbering, incoherent, whining, weak loser.

He is what it looks like when one loses their mind and becomes certifiable crazy.

Beck needs to take a LONG sabbatical until he gets his head right. Every time he has opened his mouth for the past year, he has just reinforced how unhinged he’s become.

Beck has no audience anymore. He drove away the listeners he had on the right.
He thinks he can get an audience back by bridging the divide that he had little to do with creating.
The divide is ideological and the left has been pushing an agenda that is anathema to traditional Americans.
How do we meet people halfway when their goal is the destruction of the country we love?

Never forgot when Kristen Powers called Beck Cuckoo. Both guests on the her and Michelle Malkin never returned on.

So Beck is stupid and publicity-hungry enough to buy into the notion that, by being a popular conservative pundit at one point, he “divided” the nation. That’s what conservative pundits do—divide the nation.

Did he cry?

I really want to see him cry.

Not that that is infrequent.

Beck managed to parlay a remarkable paucity of talent into some sort of broadcasting empire. I don’t begrudge him what he has achieved; we have a society that reveres the Kardashians, after all.

But his attempts at being taken seriously are self-defeating, IMO, and have been so for quite a while. IMO he should cash in his coupons and fade away while the gettin’s good.

Go stick your face in another bowl of Cheetos, Glenny.
