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 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?

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.

Both Beck and the WaPoo are tools.

I confront whomever spews hatred and division. From either side.

(even those who trolled during the primaries - hint, hint).

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.

No, Glenn, I don't think you had nearly as much influence as you think you did. You filled some airtime, you did a decent job educating from time to time, but the fact is that you generally promoted confirmation bias. How do I know this? Your lack of success since your inexplicable change of heart. Nobody's really that into you or a message they don't believe in.

Didn’t pay close attention to it, but wasn’t his rally in DC a patriotic rally?

How could that cause “division?”

I believe he has been forced to take in investors who have obliged him to change his editorial stance. Step by step, everything he is for, he is against.

He has made a bad bargain.

He lost me around the time of his rally.
A few yrs. prior I heard him on the radio while up in Ohio, WVa area. Thought Wow! I like.

I think I'm going to cry, Beck's new persona is so moving.

How nice that Glenn Beck has been able to find common ground with Trump-haters on the Left. Now all the NeverTrumpers can start showing love to one another again, have a big group hug, and then combine to focus on their misplaced hatred for the boogeyman who unifies the crazies of both the Left and right: President Trump.

Thanks for the update on your profound transformation, Mr. Beck.

And thanks for trying to falsely conflate the real, bona fide hate and totalitarianism of the Left with perfectly legitimate populist and conservative anger on the right.

The levels of hate on the Left and Right will never be equivalent.

The Left has a near monopoly on hate, identity politics, tribalism, and division, and that will always be the case.

Until Glenn Beck and his new Lefty friends can get past their hysterical Trump Derangement Syndrome, none of them will experience any meaningful growth, political or otherwise...

Glenn Beck needs an extended stay at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. He obviously had a psychological collapse, and needs a long time to recover.

Elmer Gantry is a moron! Is he still on radio or TV? Has he hooked up with Levin yet? Inquiring minds.

Some people will claim to be the devil rather than face just how unimportant they really are.
