Don't know why the writer has a problem with this. I mean conservatives have been doing this as well.
People need to start asking themselves at what point they cross the line and step on the First Amendment.
Personally, I might not agree with everything he says (I don't watch news or talk shows often) but at least he is one man in a million who is trying to educate the public on what is really happening in the world, to connect the dots.
Hope his website stays active.
Bigot much?
Crying is a Mormon thing. They cry in their meetings, a whole bunch. The first time you go to one of their testimony meetings, you find yourself thinking, Wait...What?
The intent of the crying is to show sincerity, but so much of it cheapens the effect.
Exactly, I DVRed his show each day and decided withing 5-10 minutes of replay each day if I was going to watch the rest of it. Sometimes he was brilliant, witty, insightful, other times very boring, and other times he seemed insane. But he was always likable.
I will miss his show and sorry that FNC made MSNBC and Media Matters cheer their assumed victory of boycotting him off the air.
This was a good article and I agree. Beck’s TV show is so informative and he does such a great job of connecting dots that are easily overlooked. I hope he doesn’t stop that because roaches and evil don’t like light. I will miss his show but it is difficult to listen because of the doom and gloom pall that he sheds over every episode. I don’t want my head in the sand but it is oppressive to hear every day. I don’t know where we are headed but I believe God is in control for sure. Hannity did a great job exposing Obama/Wright and not enough listened. He was right.
I’m so sorry that the information Beck presented was above your head.
I watch Beck on an internet channel with a chat on the side. People like you come in, slam Beck, his religion, his tears, his manor of delivery, etc. And totally ignore the information he presented.
I’m sure it feels good to be on the same side as those “seminar callers”. And George Soros, ACORN, Van Jones, Frances Fox Pliven. Honey, you’re in some extreme left company!
I like Glenn. I will miss him. He seems like a heck of a nice fellow.
He has performed a very good service to clueless Americans who had no idea of the leftist web that is ruining the country and the world.
I will look forward to his specials.
And I also don’t give a fig about his religion unless it is Islam.
Facism, no other words describe the left’s actions. They will not stop with Beck.
The people fixated on Glenn’s crying act like it is a daily occurrence. The reality is that it was once or twice over a matter of years when he spoke about the destruction of our nation.
The fact is that his “predictions” about events are running a 90+ accuracy rate. They aren’t even really predictions, they’re just educated guesses of a very observant man. He was right when he said the mideast would blow up from a small revolution or civil unrest in a little backwater country and Tunisia seems to fit the bill.
The Gaza flotilla in May will be the gasoline on the fire. Several of our allies (Canada, Italy, France, etc) have already said that an Israeli attack that injures their civilians will be considered an act of war. BTW William Ayers and Bernadine Dhorn will be on board on of those boats. Meanwhile, Cass Sunstein’s wife, Samantha Power is being floated as a potential replacement for Hillary Clinton. Power openly states that she wants a “massive protection force” to occupy Israel to protect the Palestinians.
BTW netmilsmom, you will be happy to hear that Glenn has finally turned me to your way of thinking on our public school system. I’ve resisted total destruction but I now realize that they’re too far gone to be saved.
Like him or not (I'm slightly less than half on the 'like' side), he ain't going away.
(He actually said this morning that the left would be 'crapping their pants' a year from now. :)
ditto.
not to mention the survivalist bunker.
and his bragging that he researched
what we’ve been discussing for over a decade on this forum.
As far as I’m concerned, this situation merely gives lie to the old bromide that money is what matters in broadcast media. Beck had a big audience, yet political pressure made his advertisers withdraw. If they were really only concerned with money, they would have stuck with the show. I truly don’t believe that the benefits of advertising on Beck’s show were in any way outweighed by threats of boycotts from the ignorant left.
Listening to his radio show is painful. I usually turn it off after 5 minutes because of the juxtaposition of laughter and melodrama (with a tinge of "I am a prophet" mixed in). I can't deal with the ADD and the lack of substance.
Back during the vote recounting in 2000, I listened to Glenn Beck religiously on the radio. One day he told one of the most heartwarming stories about his dad watching a St. Louis Cardinal World Series game and allowing Glenn to stay up after his bedtime to watch it. At the end of this feel good story, he stated that there was not one word of truth to it. From that moment on, I always had this feeling in the back of my mind that I just can’t trust his sincerity.
It’s true we eat our own.
But other things you say are not true. The people who say that about Rush don’t listen at ALL.
I don’t have TV so I’ve only seen the excellent video clips of his show on youtube. However, I was at my son’s home in Chicago a week ago and caught about ten minutes of his show. It was like a boring college lecture. If that represented his typical show, I’m not sure why anybody is watching, other than a desperate hunger for anything not whacky left wing.
“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.”
The sad fact is a lot of “freepers” are not conservatives.
They are just faceless, anonymous keyboard cowards with an account here.
Being a snide, sneering, floodposting creep has nothing to do with conservative ideals.
That's my problem. I really like Beck, and would love to watch him every day, but I can't. When I do watch him, I'm often in the dark about what he's talking about. But I think I probably get a random sampling of his material, and thus an accurate view of his show.
I think the people who claim Beck is crazy and cries all the time have a different problem. They aren't tuning in to his show on TV. They're going to YouTube and viewing clips, so all they see is clips of him crying and ranting, without the context of the situation.
Truth and freedom of the press are taking a hard hit with the loss of his show.
Ditto.
I turn the TV on only once per day, that is to watch Glenn Beck.
We've lost an American Patriot on the air waves.
The COMMIES are winning!
>>The people who say that about Rush don’t listen at ALL.<<
Bull. I can’t tell you the amount of people I know that listened to Rush for an hour, ticking and moaning, only to conclude that he is what they knew he was.
Sorry, THAT is made well known on tv and I’ve found it in dealing with libs here in MI.
