Totally repellent.
Beck’s TV show was serious..It was like going to class every day. Either you were interested in the material and followed along, or you got bored. There was no middle ground. You couldn’t leave it on for background..just to pick up a few tidbits. I suspect that’s why he lost so many listeners..
“prophet or a psycho, an oracle or a charlatan”
I tend towards the latter. A few points stand out. His anti-naturalborn position does not gel with other things he says.
And the few times I’ve watched, every other word has been like “I’ve got a crazy show for you today” - many uses of the word “crazy”, to the point where it appears to be fully intentional. Combined with his style, that’s not the act of someone that’s trying to help. That’s the act of someone who wants the Rush Limbaugh-size audience, but without actually being useful.
While Beck can be preachy, I am dismayed at the fact that Obama minions have successfully defunded his show. This is a case of taking Freedom of Speech away from someone who is hurting your liberal agenda. Even more frightening, will Rupert Murdoch begin to back down to the liberals. Now that Obaminites smell blood in the water, you can rest assured they will use this practice even more.
These are the same people who threatened Wisconsin businesses by telling them that, if they didn’t put signs in their windows stating that they back the Unions, they would be black-balled and lose business - and they made it clear that staying neutral wasn’t good enough. The left is stifling freedom of speech for anyone who doesn’t support their liberal agenda.
I will watch Beck on any cable venue he creates.
All of the people who sit saying how they had a problem, any problem, with Beck, don’t realize that Soros said he would take the man down and he did.
Not a person cares about this but rather how preachy or teary Beck is.
The lot of you are so self centered, you don’t care that a human being, a socialist slime, brought down one of the most popular cable hosts on the right.
Beck, Palin, Bachmann, who else are they taking down?
Heaven Help me, all of you do not see the forrest for the trees.
EXACTLY!
If you read what is being said by both FOX and Beck, the left won’t be celebrating for long.
>>And the few times Ive watched, <<
That’s your problem. You’re like those “Rush Limbaugh is a racist, sexist, homophobe” people who turn on the show and turn it off.
Beck gave so much information, you had to build on it. You had to see the day before to get today. He did it all with pictures and blackboards. It was a class, if you missed last week, you had to go back and watch or do your own research.
But the most important thing is that Soros took him down and the right is saying, “oh well yeah maybe they should have.”
We eat our own.
I don’t trust Roger Ailes. I hope you’re correct.
And yet some Freepers think Fox News is a conservative network.
Although Beck himself can be tiresome his show was the best news show going - the only fresh programming to be found. It hit all the topics and facts you get absolutely nowhere else.
Glenn Beck is a coward and a fraud. I stopped listening to him when he showed his cowardice regarding the natural born Citizenship issue.
I’m reminded of “First they came for....”
>>No, the real victims are truth and freedom.
Truth and Freedom are hardly synonymous with Beck’s religious facade of choice - Mormonism.
Just another gold-buggering merchant on the Temple steps. Hasta la vista.
I am always amazed by the volume of information Beck delivers. We live in an Attention Deficit Disorder world, and that is incompatible with what Beck does. No one else does what Beck does, and it will be a true loss.
>>You had to see the day before to get today.
Sounds more like a Soap Opera - than a Tea Party.
Hasta la vista to him and his gold-buggering advertisers.
Glenn was crushed when you stopped watching I’m sure.
