Genn is a contradiction. Mormons are about as Christian as Jews are and having letters from LIEberman is a great help in identifying Glenn. It would be best if he converted to Judaism.
I do not think this trip is just about religion but in showing support to our allies.
Herman Cain is going there as well. He wrote in his Facebook:
In California today and heading to Israel this week with my wife, Gloria. It has been a lifelong dream of ours to take a Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Will also be attending Glenn Beck’s rally while there.
From the first night of meetings...
I've called and e-mailed 3 Jewish organizations or synagogues and not gotten ONE response. The one I called and got through to...the minute I said Glenn Beck, they changed their tone to negative. I said, "Why put so much emphasis on the messenger, and not value the message and efforts???" I was shocked. I had to ask a neighbor why I keep getting this response. I couldn't understand the resistance. She tried to explain to me that the modern Jewish followers are more socialistic in nature and therefore, that explains their gravitation to the Dem party, as well.
So Sad. I was really trying to help.
...well, just damn...why does anyone go anywhere? Maybe he wants to?...and has the money to go?...a little vacation?....or probably, its just as you say..
...Gen 12:3....
...and is giving Israel and Netanyahu a little respect and support, unlike the fearless "leaders" of the Zer0 regime.....
...someone has to do it...why not Glenn Beck?
We can gather from the fact that Beck's spokesman called a Chafetz "a few days later", that this interview took place well before the event. The question is, how long ago did it take place. When Beck first announced this event, many people jumped on board but then backed off for various reasons.
He specifically mentioned Israeli police concerns that they couldn't guarantee the safety of Beck's guests especially those of the high-profile nature. Beck's venue was moved just a few short weeks before the event for the same reason.
Chafetz wrote a decent book recently so I'm kind of surprised at the somewhat snarfy tone of this column.
Or am I just being too sensitive?
I'm not sure that's an appropriate theme. Considering the physical environment in which the Israelis live, there doesn't appear to be a lack of courage...thus no need to "restore" courage.
I also think the Israelis are miles ahead of many of our political leaders when it comes to courage.
Big Dan, from “Oh Brother, Where art Thou”:
I like you. I’m gonna propose you a proposition.
You cover my bill for now, get your dinner wrapped picnic-style
and we’ll retire to more private environs,
where I’ll reveal how to make vast amounts of money
in the service of God Almighty.
I think that the JRW is making a mistake by trying to equate Glenn’s support of Israel with an entirely religious statement.
Beck is making a proclamation about common conservative values; belief in God is just one of these values, but it is entirely secondary to the belief in freedom from tyranny. His goal is to create a global movement based upon these shared values, as a means of fighting back against the global socialist movement.
He can't even speak to sentences without cursing.
Because its the right thing to do.
A while back he said something worthy of some thought. He said “Not only will God know who stands with Israel, He’ll know why.”
Actually, I admire Madonna’s love of Israel. You can youtube her concert in the Holy Land where she wrapped herself in the Israeli flag and watch the crowd go crazy. Not too many celebrities would do that.
He’s going to Israel to get his mojo back? How much does he actually know about Israel? (or the Bible, for that matter). Last week he was calling the major archeological site Caesarea “Ka-ZAR-ia.”
He actually thought the Israeli government would have no problem with him holding a pro-Israel rally on the Temple Mount. Now that is deeply ignorant.
I’m a big fan of Glen but for the life of me I can’t understand why he pals around with a laughably clueless bigot like Hagee
BTW-there were WAY more than 300,000 attending Restoring Honor! Why would the author under-report attendance?
Why is Glenn Beck going to Israel?
To make MONEY. Duh.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Any other amazingly easy questions?
Because he’s rich and doesn’t have a 9-5 day job or a house full of children needing his supervision. I’d go to Israel, too, if I could, although probably at a more pleasant time of year.

I'm still ticked off at Beck for dumping his highly successful - and easily accessible - Fox News show. Now I've had to bone up on how to watch his stupid internet TV show via our television, Roku, etc. And we have to pay extra for the privilege of the inconvenience of watching his show via the internet, both for the equipment and for the subscription to Glenn Beck TV.
Glenn has left so many huge Beck fans like my elderly in-laws scratching their heads at his decision to leave Fox News. They're kind of lost with their daily dose of Glenn at 5pm... they really miss his TV show, as do I.
So... to answer the question at the top of this thread... I have no idea what Beck is doing lately... he's invisible to me these days.
Leading that movement could mean leading conservative Christians in this country as a whole.
