The radio and TV talk-show host gets such outsize media coverage—especially from the left—for the same reason he attracts conservative viewers: he validates their beliefs.
Hello, America.
Tonight, a report on how Glenn Beck is planning to replace our democracy with a fascist Mormon regime—and how he's relying on a Saudi Arabian terrorist sympathizer to help him do it.
I know, I know. You haven't read anything about Beck's nefarious plot in the paper. But that's the mainstream media—too busy refilling their lattes to bother covering our country's impending collapse. Good thing I have this chalkboard ready so I can diagram it out for you.

At this point, there are two types of people in America: the 10 million people who pay attention to Glenn Beck and the 294 million who try, and fail, to ignore him. Until last week I was one of the latter. I'd never watched his show on Fox News. I'd never listened to him on the radio. I'd certainly never read one of his books. And yet somehow I kept stumbling, via cable news and the blogs, upon footage of Beck calling President Obama a "racist" and/or weeping like a baby. He was like the political version of pollen—in the air, inescapable, irritating. Why, I asked myself, are we giving this guy so much attention? How is he different from other right-wing provocateurs like, say, Michael Savage?
Then I realized: to find out, I would have to experience Beck firsthand. I would have to enter the belly of the beast. So last week I decided to submit. Every day for five straight days I would I tune my television to Fox News at 5 p.m. sharp. I would see what I could see.

exactly. Skousen was nuts.
If that was what he was trying to engineer, we’d be hearing Romney, Reid, or Hatch ad nauseum.

Just wait. Beck is going to come out more and more for Romney. I will bet money on it.
Do not post commie propaganda on FR.
May I “speculate” that Zero wants to destroy the Constitutional Republic of America? Or would Newsweak call that “hate speech” or “radical” or “fringe”?

If you were the head of the Mormon church you would call it a ‘prophecy’.
BINGO!
I would rather have dinner with the Mormons.

Dinner yes, but not much else. I don’t trust either group.
Nobody subscribes to Newsweek except some doctors and dentists.
Here is what a “fascist Mormon regime” would look like, this is straight out of Mormon scripture:
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/134
1 We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society.
2 We believe that no government can exist in peace, except such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life.
3 We believe that all governments necessarily require civil officers and magistrates to enforce the laws of the same; and that such as will administer the law in equity and justice should be sought for and upheld by the voice of the people if a republic, or the will of the sovereign.
4 We believe that religion is instituted of God; and that men are amenable to him, and to him only, for the exercise of it, unless their religious opinions prompt them to infringe upon the rights and liberties of others; but we do not believe that human law has a right to interfere in prescribing rules of worship to bind the consciences of men, nor dictate forms for public or private devotion; that the civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul.
5 We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; and that all governments have a right to enact such laws as in their own judgments are best calculated to secure the public interest; at the same time, however, holding sacred the freedom of conscience.
6 We believe that every man should be honored in his station, rulers and magistrates as such, being placed for the protection of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty; and that to the laws all men show respect and deference, as without them peace and harmony would be supplanted by anarchy and terror; human laws being instituted for the express purpose of regulating our interests as individuals and nations, between man and man; and divine laws given of heaven, prescribing rules on spiritual concerns, for faith and worship, both to be answered by man to his Maker.
7 We believe that rulers, states, and governments have a right, and are bound to enact laws for the protection of all citizens in the free exercise of their religious belief; but we do not believe that they have a right in justice to deprive citizens of this privilege, or proscribe them in their opinions, so long as a regard and reverence are shown to the laws and such religious opinions do not justify sedition nor conspiracy.
8 We believe that the commission of crime should be punished according to the nature of the offense; that murder, treason, robbery, theft, and the breach of the general peace, in all respects, should be punished according to their criminality and their tendency to evil among men, by the laws of that government in which the offense is committed; and for the public peace and tranquility all men should step forward and use their ability in bringing offenders against good laws to punishment.
9 We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied.
10 We believe that all religious societies have a right to deal with their members for disorderly conduct, according to the rules and regulations of such societies; provided that such dealings be for fellowship and good standing; but we do not believe that any religious society has authority to try men on the right of property or life, to take from them this world’s goods, or to put them in jeopardy of either life or limb, or to inflict any physical punishment upon them. They can only excommunicate them from their society, and withdraw from them their fellowship.
11 We believe that men should appeal to the civil law for redress of all wrongs and grievances, where personal abuse is inflicted or the right of property or character infringed, where such laws exist as will protect the same; but we believe that all men are justified in defending themselves, their friends, and property, and the government, from the unlawful assaults and encroachments of all persons in times of exigency, where immediate appeal cannot be made to the laws, and relief afforded.
Thee are also tons of videos on Youtube from Mormon leaders like Ezra Taft Benson denouncing socialism and communism.
That is what Newsweak doesn’t want to come about.
Praying for Glenn Beck to convert back from his cult Mormonism. You would think that someone with as much brains as he has would not be snowed by Mormonism.
Plus the last time I smoked, the cigarette tax was also a dime a pack lower in Utah then here.
Not exactly what I'd cause imposing their religious values on anyone.
Is that still being published?
WOW - what a bigoted premise
Newsweek is a joke.
Are you saying it is not a joke?
However, the goal of Mormonism is a return to theocratic communism based out of Missouri. They call it the “Millennial reign of Christ”.
Just because you may disagree with this doesn't make it false.
And yes, I can source this.
If you really disagree, ask for sources.
So I'll ask again, what idiotic rant?
I was just about to ping the Free Republic ‘Mormon-Haters Club’. I see you saved me the effort. Thanks.
Liberal=”style over substance”.
>>”Beck is going to come out more and more for Romney. I will bet money on it.”<<
I’ll take that bet. You name the stakes and bookmark this post.
Nah, it’s some magazine they have in doctors’ offices to help deaden the pain.
So, are you implying that Mormons are stupid?
He equates someone Beck referenced to Obama’s parents and his Marxist influences.
He holds the Saudi minority ownership of Fox as Glenn’s SEIU or ACORN equivalent.
Liberals always have moral equivalents, they try to squirm and twist fact to fit a narrative.
The dying Newsweek publication shows its Lefty bias. Romano is a 28-year old Liberal, plain and simple.
Mormon-Haters Club=The Posse. Bitter bullies hiding behind keyboards who get their strength from petty insults and outdoing each other. Or as they like to call themselves, "Real Christians". You betcha
