Lol. I still remember Glenn mocking and attacking people who opposed the Patriot Act.

His 'evolution' is obvious.

And the acronym for the Global Libertarian News Network will be, what, exactly?

GLNN?

Well played, Mr. Beck. ;-)

Libertarian? THAT figures. Maybe Glenn will report on how fabulous gay marriages are.

...split screen with MSNBC´s Chris Matthews on one side and Fox News´s Sean Hannity on the other, and bemoaning the fact that cable news has devolved into the "far left [and] far right...

So why not find someone to put on a screen to represent the Far Right?

This appears to be the direction many conservatives are going to go. The traditional social conservative platform (pro-life and pro traditional marriage) is not going to get much love from the Republican Party OR from conservatives like Beck and others that would prefer to move in a more libertarian direction. The problem is that while the social conservative movement may be shrinking, no right of center party (Republican, Libertarian or otherwise) is going to be able to win without these voters - not for at least another generation.

Okay...I understand Matthews as the far left, but where does Hannity fit in???

Beck is showing a picture of Sean Hannity as a representative of the “far right?” Um, okay. Don’t quite see that. But then again, I don’t quite see Beck’s embrace of degeneracy via homo-marriage either. Due to the latter, I really don’t put much stock in anything he has to say anymore.

People shouldn't underestimate Glenn. He's a visionary, a truth-seeker (yes, I know he's a Mormon), and a doer.

The title "libertarian" is a simplification. Glenn's midway on the libertarian/conservative spectrum. Not a bad place to be.

And he has the drive, power, resources and plan to help re-establish a free and just society.

It won't be long until his network is as influential as Fox. I expect his network to surpass Fox in viewership in 3-5 years.

I'm so sick of people claiming Fox or Hannity as far right. I have yet to see any news channel that's totally on the right, let alone far right.

I've seen a ton of mediocre so called conservatives and plenty of rinos filling up the airwaves.

The last really good work that I saw Beck do was his multi-part expose of Soros on Fox. That got him kicked off Fox due to financial pressure from Soros against Fox advertisers, as I recall. I really haven’t watched or listened to him much since then. The few times I’ve heard him on the radio, he always seems to be more into a “hold hands and sing Kumbaya” mode. Has he done anything insightful lately?

If Glenn Beck is a real Libertarian then Barney is a real dinosaur.

I’ve been a big Glenn Beck fan and his show is on now and all week he is blabbing on changes and his vision and some American dream labs thing. But this change and his comments more than anything else are baffling. I don’t know what anyone else might think but I am no Libertarian and I think Ron Paul is a bit off kilter and can be crazy. I am and have always been confused on the direction of the libertarian movement and I have always been confused on the direction of people;e like Ron Paul, his son Rand, Bob Barr, Gary Johnson and others. I was embracing some libertarians in 2008-2009 until I realized that there is a line that they cross that is not lock and step with 60% of what I believe in. I don’t hate them, but I like conservatives first and foremost. And last I looked no Libertarian won anything. So Ia really worried here people that beck is going the wrong direction and will lose me or he no longer relevant and he will be in trouble because he will lose his main base of support for years.

These are my first thoughts. First I want to read what others have said. Because what he also said yesterday has really confused me on what he wants as well. I have yet to tune into today’s show as yesterdays gave he a bad feeling and a headache.

Sounds like he’s gone all Jon Huntsman on us.
