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:

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.

Prayers for Glenn Beck, as requested in FRmail..........and I AGREE with.....
Glenn Beck is doing very dangerous work. Darkness doesn’t like sunlight. Please join me in praying for the following specific things.
- physical safety of Glenn, his family, and employees
- courage, strength, and perseverance for Glenn and his employees
- viewer, listener, and sponsor support for Glenn’s radio and tv shows (so the opposition cannot shut him up)
- accurate information and extensive resources for Glenn’s research
- decisive action from conservative politicians and law enforcement resulting from Glenn’s research
Thanks,
If you would like to be added to this little Prayer Ping List, please FReepmail me.
Glenn is learning what Palin has encountered....
“You’re not on target unless you’re taking flak!”
Yes. I do pray for GB. I was watching him with John Bolton last night and he seemed to be acting a little strangely, even for GB. I can’t imagine the pressure he’s under.
No I’m not. He’s won over the hearts and minds of people who already believe everything that he’s preaching. He’s swayed exactly no one to the conservative side of the fence. Epic fail. If his tactics don’t amount to votes gained in the end then it’s meaningless. Everyone can sit around and have their circle-jerks, and frame that Time magazine cover, but he is alienating more of the center then he is winning them over.
And if this doesn’t mean that more conservatives get elected (which I don’t believe it does) then I’m not on board. And again, I’m the biggest fan of Olbermann one could ever be. Why? Because he’s fringey enough to make the left look like utter crackpots. There’s the rub. Beck, with all the crying and preaching, comes off to most of the center like Rev. Wrong came off to most of the center. Like a polarizing nutcase who won’t sway anyone, but merely reinforce minds that are already made.
Give me Bill O’ any day of the week over Beck. At least he’s smart enough to try to sway an audience that hasn’t already made up it’s mind. In the end, do you want to be right, or do you want to win seats? I could give a damn what Beck’s message is if it doesn’t reach the right audience, and that’s the one we have to win over to gain ground.
when ya piss off both sides your doing it right.... he’s doing it right!
The ratings are sky high for people that already believe what he’s selling. If we’re not trying to tap new markets here then it’s a waste of time, and he has about the same importance as a henchman or a cheerleader in that case. Believe me when I say that there are plenty of conservatives out there, myself included, who don’t really care for the “crying on tv” approach, and we try to distance ourselves from people who take their pages from Rev. Wrong. For those that don’t think Beck is polarizing, do you actually know any moderates or independents? He’s not winning many of them over.
So his job is just to make you smile and say “we’re right.. they’re wrong!” That’s his job? Nothing more then pure entertainment? Ok, that’s great. I can watch CSI, the Office, and Glen Beck. But none will have any more weight in the end then the other.
And it can’t be a “revolution” unless you’re changing hearts and minds. He’s not doing that. He’s rallying like-minded folks right now to a deafening pitch.
He’s 100% right on and it scares the crap out of them!!!!
A conspiracy is 2 or more conspiring to do something.
Obama and his czars along with his core advisers makes up the largest conspiracy to destroy this country that we have ever faced!
Conspiracy nut? They’ve been lying to you for years and you don’t get it so why should this story be any different?

A loved one remarked today that if Beck wasn’t so serious it would be comical. God, that breaks my heart that a loved one would be so blind.
I still believe that it won’t be long until Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh will be behind bars on some trumped up charge. The government can put all kinds of things on your computer then set you up for a fall.
For every action their is an opposite equal reaction.
An usurper was elected fraudulently as President and is attempting to convert America into a morphed Islamic/fascist/democratic society.
lets suppose suddenly for any reason Beck, Limbaugh or basically everyone voicing public criticism of Obama suddenly goes quiet.
No Ann Coulter, she is on extended vacation, Beck has been committed to a mental hospital, Rush is kidnapped.
People just still do not get it, dissent will be quietly and forcibly put down, anyone going against the flow will be rounded up, bought off or outright threatened with arrest and permanent incarceration. Obama will probably not commit himself to forcibly or publicly announcing any martial law, but he can send agents of the IRS, FBI or any other acronym agency out to harass individuals.
More and more federal employees are being hired to police the citizens of America. There will be no escaping new federal nanny state guidelines in every aspect of our daily lives to insure we are kept humble faithful and cooperative.
Thanks, now my tagline...
