If the White House is trying to figure how it lost control of the debate over healthcare in August, it could take a look at Glenn Beck’s television and radio ratings. The conservative talk radio host, who also has an hourly slot on Fox News every day, has seen his viewer numbers soar even as opponents have pressed companies to withdraw advertising from the show.

And even earlier in 92, as Clinton was gaining momentum and got the nod, but yes, I do see similarities. Glenn is helped out by having these people around 0bama even more arrogant than the Clinton FOB's, (if that's possible), he has the advantage of being able to use not just print but video to demonstrate, prove his contentions about the advi-czars, they've allowed themselves to be recorded all over the place, where Rush was a bit more limited in what media he had available to him early on in that game.
This is a better way to say what I meant about toning down the dramatics. I tend to write off conspiracy theories on a grand scale. I actually believe there are hidden agendas and this administration uses strategy, smoke and mirrors and slight of hand to get from point A to point B with the intent of fooling or gaming the people and system. But there is a fine line of what an audience will regard as truth and respect if the messenger does not maintain credibility.
Glenn Beck is my favorite for now. I just worry about the label that could be coming if he gets any more "fringy" in the eyes of the audience.
Looks like Glenn Beck will join Savage in the banned-from-Britain club.
Love him! Glenn Beck has a great way of presenting facts. A few years back our local talk FM station had a delayed broadcast of his, and I would just howl with laughter with his stories and just the way he reported the events. The station, in their wisdom, replaced him with Hannity. No offense to Hannity, but he’s NO Beck!) I was so glad when he had his show on CNN. He caused quite a firestorm over there with his series on Islamofascism and “The Perfect Day”.
The same station brought him back just recently, so I listen to him every morning.
We just bought a DVR so I will never miss the Glenn Beck Show. At least until the Fascist-er-White House shuts him down.
Rock the vote is a political group, not an "Art" group of any kind. They are activists partially funded by the government, apparently.
You are correct, and sometimes Beck crosses that line. He does a nice job now uncovering the facts about the administration and the Czars that Bam has selected. Not sure it really helps him to go beyond that.
Rahmbo is not above setting him up for a fall where he gets discredited or even laughed off the air. They did that to Drudge way back when he thought he had a scoop on Clinton's DNA and the dress.
Beck knows this, but cannot help himself, he thinks he is doing the right thing. Stu and Pay Gray (sp) are also pretty savvy, my guess is they talk about this all the time.
As Beck seems to be a key guy presenting the evil nature of Bam etal, hope he sees it coming when they set him up for the fall.

I was sitting here thinking the same thing. Glad he posted my thoughts EXACTLY. See tag...
Obama= rectumus penetratus profusi
Ummmm where is the proof that Obamaniac has stopped using? We have seen no birth certificate, no medical exams no blood tests.
Go Glenn.
Go Glenn.
Go Glenn.
Go Glenn.
Go Glenn.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the bio on Van-dal Jones
Yup.
A party line guy. But the standard Republican schtick is getting old and tired.
I actually think he was better alongside Colmbs, but he was getting too agreeable with Hannity.
And what’s with the UFO stories & other Art Bell type crap he’s been throwing in sometimes lately?
Great analogy.
Former????
He is on the radio every day..catch him!!!!
Amen pollywog...Glenn has tapped into the bloodline of all the ticked off freedom loving people of this country that do not want the gov’t in their faces 24-7!
Down more and more advertisers (57), Huffpost calling for his firing, I think this boycott is coming from WH or Soros....
