Interesting take on Beck and interesting comments by Beck considering that he ignores a lot of what Jefferson thought in order to pick a single applicable qoute.

O’Reilly: “Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?”

“There you have it. Beck doesn't care about one of the most blatant and despicable examples of judicial tyranny in the history of our country.”

You, sir, are an idiot. Had O’reilly asked him about the case, I'm quite sure the answer would have been different. However, he did not.
He asked him if he thought gay marriage would harm the country. Beck gave his honest opinion.

Show me in the article, related to the question, that Beck does not see this as a blatant assault on the judiciary of this country. I dare you.

Maybe Beck is just in conflict with his inner rodeo clown.

I admire a lot of what Beck is doing, but this article teaches us to be discerning. At times Beck can have an easy flippancy to what he says, and speak incorrectly and out of context.

I will trust my own opinion of Beck much more than anything WND has to say.

O'Reilly: "No, OK. Is it going to harm the country?" Beck: "I believe that Thomas Jefferson said: 'If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket what difference is it to me?'"

Jefferson also thought sodomites should be killed.

I used to love Beck's radio show, the more I read about his TV show the more I believe he is a phony. When did he change and why has this happened?

WND makes debka look credible.
Read the whole interview and see if it jives with hacks at WND.

I am going to the 8/28 rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I hope everyone who loves this country and the constitution will go.

Increasingly, "conservatives" see themselves living in an exclusively material world with no immutable laws and no absolute morality other than the superiority of the free market.

Same thing with Rush Limbaugh.

It wasn't economic freedom that made America great, it was freedom of religion.

I caught that on tv. My opinion is that GB got suckered in by BOR who sees himself as Field Marshal and Generalissimo of the Armies in his own little Kulturkampf and is insanely envious of GB. BOR cares not a whit about the progressives setting the country up for collapse and dictatorship as long as they don’t legalize drugs and gay marriage. What a maroon.

Good grief. There is a significant difference between being a materialist, and dialectical materialism. A HUGE difference.

"There you have it. Beck doesn't care about one of the most blatant and despicable examples of judicial tyranny in the history of our country. He doesn't care about the institution of marriage and its 5,000-year history. He doesn't care that the Bible says God created marriage way back in Genesis and that Jesus affirmed that. He doesn't care that the family is the building block of a society and that smarter men have explained how you simply can't have freedom and self-governance without it. He also doesn't seem to care about what might become of children adopted into such unions."

That is absolute nonsense and is not true. I've been following Glenn Beck for years and I know that is *not* an accurate reflection on what Glenn thinks and believes of marriage and family.

It is just a bunch of people that are trying to over analyze Glenn's response and try to put meaning into it that really isn't there.

I do follow WND, and will continue to do so. I also recognize that, like everyone else, they are *not* the final word on things and are not always right, which applies to Glenn as well. I am just going to take it for what it is, another interesting perspective on what people think Glenn said.

If you want to know what Glenn does believe, you need to *watch* and *listen* to him, not read about him. Get it from the source.

I think the totality of Becks show gives a different tone then the short blip on O’Reilly. I was watching the show and did wonder what Beck really meant but put it in the context of the rest of what he says. I’m thinkin he addresses the issue in a future show.
