Glenn Beck, conspiracy nut
dallasmorningnews-Opinion Blog ^ | 9-18-09 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 09/19/2009 5:09:56 PM PDT by smokingfrog

How on earth did this crackpot get a national TV show? Watch this amazing eight-minute monologue in which Glenn Beck interprets public art, and ties together the Rockefellers, communism, fascism, corporatism, the United Nations and the Obama White House together in a grand conspiracy. If this were in a movie, you wouldn't believe it. But this is on national TV, on Fox News, every weeknight:

< video >

Where's Beck getting this garbage? Listen to this 1976 speech by Beck guru W. Cleon Skousen, in which he cites Mormon prophecy to bolster his rant against the Rockefellers, the communists, and all kinds of "secret combinations" infiltrating everything, trying to destroy the Constitution at the direction of Satan.

The Dallas Morning News seems determined to commit suicide.

Fortitude and conviction and an attitude that disallowes succumbing to the pressures of those like you Rodney.

Look at all of the conspiracies in Shakespeare's historical dramas. They are all based on real events in English History. Look at the assassination of Julius Caesar. Was that an unfortunate accident?

The world has always had conspiracies because there have always been power mad people. However we have to look at the facts and decide what is plausible and what is not. We cannot just believe every conspiracy theory that we hear.

I thought Rod Dreher was supposed to be a conservative. He’s just another apologist for the Communists and crony capitalists.

The ‘man behind the curtain’ and his useful idiots have been exposed for all to see.. Just as predicted the Lefties are ramping up their mission to defame and degrade those who speak the truth.

Beck correctly insists that there is no conspiracy involved: what he describes is being done right out in the open, by individuals aligned with the same organizations whose links are well-documented.

Mr. Dreher ought to know this, but appears more interested in effecting a slur against Beck to assist his new-found friends on the Left who share his distaste for traditional Christian conservatives and for capitalism, both of which he seems to have soured on in recent months.

“To anger a Conservative, tell him a lie.. To anger a Liberal, tell him the truth.”

Exactly.

I love Glenn’s passion and sarcastic humor and even more so... his way of putting everything together. Yes, he is a conspiracy theorist - but he always seems to be right on the money. He’s relentless and has the mental energy of many men. I’ve been in broadcasting for 30 years and Glenn is a perfect example of a fish who chooses to swim against the current while destroying the competition in the ratings. Talk about a GOOD HIRE! American people love an underdog! I wish I would have been brave enough to take my opinions that far on the air. grrr!

Thank God for Fox News for having the vision and allowing Glenn a place in their line up.

The Dallas Morning News? Good local news source, but their opinion pages leave little to be desired. Nice paper to clean my windows with.

Second article in the last few days attacking Beck via Skousen. I guess some new marching orders went out.

You can get most of his stuff yourself by Google. The lamebrain reporters are clueless idiots.
