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 kept media still seems to believe they have influence.

There are lots of brilliant conservative thinkers out there, but Beck isn't one of them. I just feel like he sings to our base but marginalizes our cause for everyone else, and videos like the example don't help. We should be thanking our stars for whackjobs like Olberman, and Beck is just another Olberman to anyone in the middle whose potential vote might end up counting for something.

Beck is knocking home runs while everyone else is trying to walk their way to first base.

I happen to believe he speaks the truth, the problem with some is that they are hoping what he says IS a conspiracy theory and not whats really happening in real time. Get on board, the time is now the place is now. Uncle sam needs you!

I love how the Commies on the Dallas Morning News' blog are citing Rachael Mad-cow's extensive education versus Beck and Limbaugh's lack of a college degree. There's your proof that an education doesn't necessarily mean the recipient has the intelligence of a bar of soap. One of the idiots even made mention that Mad-cow was a Rhodes Scholar. I thank that idiot for making my point for me.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Glenn Beck is a deeply sincere, kinetic bundle of talent, a work in progress improving by the month. Even when I think Beck is off base or has gone a bit too far, I can’t help but like and respect him — and keep listening and watching.

Kind of looks that way, doesn't it?

That's right: none of the connections between Obama's people is a secret, or wouldn't be if the media would simply do their job.

For his part, Rod Dreher is a former conservative pundit who now expends a great deal of ink attacking Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck from a peculiar elitist perspective in which he champions "social justice" without calling it that, and finds the alternative media horribly distasteful and lowbrow. It will not be long before he wins the Strange New Respect Award from the Left for his contributions to bashing conservatives, especially if he writes a hit piece (as he has done before) about Sarah Palin.

...Beck was a “crackpot” on CNN. That’s why he left, or got fired. I remember seeing his show on CNN and thought this guy’s going against the liberal template. He may not last long on CNN...

...Beck is an entertainer, and a first rate commentator on the front line of the debacle in the IFG today. Bravo, Mr. Beck, for being a “crackpot”, a voice of ration, reason, and sincerity in a psychopatic world of radical “fringe media”...

The Dallas Morning News was once a great Conservative voice, and has since been infested with mind numbed libs from their NEA marxists in High Schools and their Marxist Journalism schools in the Univesities.

Our once Consitutional Republic is almost history.

By acting saner than our “leadership” in Washington DC or the media-outlets.

Next question.

Hey! How ‘bout that ACORN “conspiracy”. Go back to sleep Rod. It’s too late to try to catch up with that now. The train is long gone from the station. You missed it little buddy.

Don’t you wish you could get a successful National TV show, Rod? Instead of prostituting yourself to the Left Wing Press, and getting nowhere?

I hope Mr. Dreher doesn’t stare directly at Glenn’s blackboard - it would be like looking at the sun! He would become blind and confused, then his head would explode.

(And with a nod to GB, blood would shoot out of his eyes and the skin would peel off his face.)

Not precisely about Obama but I was looking at Soros connections and the media could find a lot right here.

I noticed that the "reporter" didn't refute anything Beck said in that video. He simply called him a 'crackpot' and "where's he getting this garbage?" If its garbage, sir, it should be easy to refute. Do it.
Also noticed none of the commenters refuted anything. Just more name calling and diversionary talk.
Beck's behavior makes me cringe at times but I have yet to see him give 'crackpot' information. If he has ever been refuted by the left I've not seen it.
