Top television and radio host Glenn Beck said in an interview with Megyn Kelly on Fox News that he regrets some of his time at the cable network, when he hosted his own show, and admitted that he ratcheted rhetoric that helped drive a political wedge in America.

"I remember [my time on Fox] as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes," Mr. Beck said on Fox News on Tuesday night. "I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart."

He also said if he could hit the rewind button, that he'd focus more on uniting, not dividing.

"I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language," he said, Politico reported. "I didn't realize how really fragile the people were...

Mr. Beck's show ran on Fox News between 2009 and 2011...

He did not embrace the homosexual agenda. He stood with GLAAD when a Russian comedian wished gays in Russia be "burned alive" in concentration camp style ovens. Do you agree with this?

He is against the homosexual agenda, but is also against burning them alive in ovens. I think that is totally reasonable.

I asked you yesterday in your “blog” post. Are you a subscriber to The Blaze?

On what basis do you think I think he does? I have to say, you must have a really, really, really excellent source, because even I didn't know I thought that.

Not one single FReeper would ever want to nazi anyone because they are gay. My problem with Beck and the Olympics was that he was asking obama to enter the arena with many gays and link arm in arm with them to show solidarity and united opposition to Putin. Putin is trying to protect the young children in the Russian society from the evil of this sin. The man that ranted about ovens is a crazy personality that according to what I have read... is somewhat of a joke in Russia. He is like those lunatics at the Westboro Baptist Church in Kentucky. One must not judge Americans by those idiots and one must not judge Russians by their idiots.

I think that the Olympics should celebrate Nations gathering for peaceful sporting events and politics and sexual agendas should have no place in them. This is ALL about legitimizing homosexual behavior and pedophilia and we all know that this what the gay mafia wants.

It was just a little over four years ago. I had just read his book and really liked it. So I thought I’d give him a listen on my morning commute. The banter drove me crazy. I gave him a week and I was outa there. I had a 20 minute driving commute and one day I realized I had completed my commute without him and his sidekick saying anything other then silly pop-FM banter.

one thing all of us are going to have to come to grips with is that NOBODY IS PERFECT...only God is perfect,not man.

some freepers are looking for the most perfect people to lead them, and yet we are all human, too human....

Beck serves a purpose...so does Christie...so does Rush...and Rudy...and Scott Walker...and Marco...and Ted.....but not one of these people is perfect, 100% thru and thru totally socially and fiscally conservative....

He ignores the man behind the curtain. The fed, privately owned, who also owns the companies he works for. He never “speaks truth to power” when it comes to them. May as well be Warren Buffets loofah boy.

You are absolutely correct... JESUS was the only perfect man... SON of man and SON of GOD. I am not looking for perfection in Beck or anyone else. I am not looking for anything close to perfection. I have found that in CHRIST and the FATHER. What I am not looking for amongst men is crazy.

Glenn seems to be going over to the Dark Side. That’s too bad.
