“Yes, but if you are trying to compare Beck with the insane SOB on Network you are goofy.”
Well, Glen Beck compares himself to the guy on NETWORK.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2350618/posts
Give us a rational, organized rebuttal to the questions and discussions Beck has presented, tell us which are untrue and what are the "real" facts, and maybe we can talk.
How it affects the GOP doesn't matter more than a bucketful of spit to me.
>Comparing the GOP and Democrats as problems is like comparing the flu and brain cancer as ‘both diseases’. The level of seriousness of what they do is not comparable.
I’d change that up a little, the Republicans could still be the flu, but Democrats AIDS. Now given that we have AIDS in control of everything is it really smart to be going out and catching the flu?
;)
>Repeat after me: There is no such thing as a conservative Democrat.
That may be true, but just because there exists a conservative Republican does not mean that all republicans are conservative.
Furthermore, can the Republican party, as a whole, be called a conservative party when they did NOTHING to point out the severe contra-Constitutionality of the retroactive AIG bonus taxation? Or the retroactive repeal of immunities granted to the telecom-industries that was being talked about?
{I wrote about the criminality of the AIG decisions here:

Though I definitely need to write up a piece about this proposed repeal.}
Ping! Bump! And this guy is the mental case. Beck has long denounced the idea of right or left and has since converted to the truth. The seeking of which is causing the beltway some great unease, the GOP a bit of consternation or is it constipation, and the democrats are trying to get off the Titanic.
Go Glenn Beck!
My argument was actually that while there may exist some conservative in the GOP it by no means guarantees the party to be conservative; and the included link shows how I regard the 11th Congress.
*111th, not 11th
>Thanks for that link.
You’re welcome.
>Unreal.
As in? Accurate? or not? Good reasoning? Bad? Understandable? or... well, why is it unreal?
I don’t begrudge him that...
can’t fault him for that...
not blaming him for that...I can’t fault him for that...
Well...it seems he’s doing something right!
Then there’s this...
“But what else has he done? This represents my only serious concerns involving Beck. Otherwise, I doubt I’d be much interested in him at all. He’s called Barack Obama a racist, for one. I’m appalled by my friends on the right who seem so willing to pass that remark off as insignificant — almost pretending it was never said. It was outrageous, undeserved, and represents nothing but the very kind of racist cudgel the left has been falsely charging the right with being for years. Maybe Beck is one, otherwise he could never conceive of making such a remark — and so publicly at that.”
I’m sorry, but after the zerrhoid was in a hate-whitey-fest black liberation church for 20+ years...
“typical white” person throw Momma under the bus comments...
and selecting that racist supreme court judge...
among other things...
I don’t see how anyone can come to any other conclusion!
Nah...Beck’s all right!
I agree with what you’ve said, but I guess I phrased things the way I did because everyone attacking Beck these days (with the exception of Levin) has had far, far less impact this year than Beck has, so it strikes me as anklebiting.
Showmen.
Rush himself admits it. Now I am sure he believes much of what he preaches, but he is there to generate ad revenue. Same with Beck.
Don't hold these guys up to be leaders of some sort of movement. They are not. They are in it for the money and the ego.
Another good point.
The GOP doesn’t really want to be conservative, just wants conservatives to vote for them.
They ignored Beck when he was only on the radio and HLN, but once he moved to Fox, got huge ratings and started very effectively to pick apart the Obama Myth, they started attacking....
Excellent post, bears repeating.
In a way this is what Beck said when he said McCain would have been worse than 0bama. Levin was all over him for saying that but Beck's point was that had it been McCain doing all this CRAP, republicans and yes even some conservatives wouldn't have gotten up to protest on 9-12 because it was done by a repub, and McCain wouldn't have been so heavy handed and rammed it through so quickly. [Remember the show Beck did about the frog boiling].
Beck admitted he voted for McCain and the way he worded his statement was wrong, but his point was a good one. If anything got Americans to pay attention to what's happening in Washington it was the coronation of Lord Zero and his Czars.
Beck deserves credit for putting things together and explaining them in an understandable way. The left thrives on deception, and they despise Beck for lifting the veil. I like Levin, but he doesn't have the audience Beck has.
“But what else has he done? This represents my only serious concerns involving Beck. Otherwise, I doubt I’d be much interested in him at all. He’s called Barack Obama a racist, for one. I’m appalled by my friends on the right who seem so willing to pass that remark off as insignificant — almost pretending it was never said.”
Let’s see. I’ve heard the Left accuse anyone and everyone that they dislike as being racists for, oh, the 45 years that I’ve been a political junkie.
And now I’m supposed to be all indignant because Glenn Beck is giving one of their heroes the same treatment? Here’s a thought, David Riehl: grow a pair, you useless pathetic pussy.
I think a lot of people who attack Beck do so for their own advandement, but some really just are afraid of any one person getting pegged as the “face of conservatism”. Hard to tell which is which though.
I remember when Beck was persona-non-grata around here, back in the 2008 primary days. So the cult-worship phenomena has limits.
Well said.
