In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post's Howard Fineman, Glenn Beck took the opportunity to again blast conservatives critical of his decision to greet the recent wave of underage illegal immigrants with toys and hot meals. "I don't understand those who cannot see the plight of children," Beck told HuffPo. The border issue is one example. Beck took heat from fellow conservatives for his decision to distribute large amounts of relief supplies through churches and other organizations in McAllen, Texas, to undocumented children caught at the southern border. Sen. Cruz was at his side. Beck's view is that the law says they should not have been admitted and ultimately should not stay. But in the meantime he explains his response in personal terms. "I don't understand those who cannot see the plight of children," he said. "People come here because we have the rule of law, but no one wants their kids to grow up in a society that doesn't understand justice and mercy." The controversy began early last month, when Beck announced that he would provide soccer balls and meals as a way to "help care for some of the roughly 60,000 underage refugees who have crossed into America illegally in 2014." Outside of Beck's distasteful grandstanding and playing the victim with the claim that this would be "deadly to my career" (Beck reportedly makes tens of millions of dollars a year), he tore into conservatives who disagreed with him as looking "like they just want judgment" as opposed to mercy.

You called that one. Beck came out with some wacko-libertarian justifications for gay marriage. How The State should have nothing to do with marriage. Not be involved in it...... I was disgusted but let it slide
About three months ago I started a thread about Glenn Beck >>>>>>>
Glenn Beck in preacher mode..... I turned the radio off on the radio messiah

Man, how I remember when the Boston Bombings happened, and when I started criticizing Beck’s “facts” about the case, how I was lambasted by the Beck true believers. Strangely enough, I feel somehow vindicated knowing my thoughts on Beck “back in the day” where close. I don’t take pleasure in this, but, oh wait, I guess I do.
It’s not his religion that’s the problem.
Don’t you think alcoholics, recovering or not, are more unstable than most?
The mormon church isn’t promoting amnesty, nor does it condone taking government handouts. They are much more conservative than many other churches, especially the Catholics, who have expressed often and clearly that we need to support the rest of the world. They are the biggest hypocrites.
“Don’t you think alcoholics, recovering or not, are more unstable than most?”
No !

“I cancelled my subscription to ‘The Blaze’ and to Dish (by going back to basics).”
I did long ago as well. ;I suspected he was proamnestymwhen he had Rand Paul on and never contradicted him.
He’s bipolar too?
I bet some of his people bail
Cogent
That’s what he says. He described it as difficult until he learned how to use it. He said he has to compartmentaltize, I believe, was the word he used, put things in separate piles and meetings with staff are all together, but since his mind races, staffers divide up the work based on subject matter, on different assignments.
Or, something like that. I can’t remember, but it was interesting and unique, as he discussed it on his TV show.
Romney
Is that what they say at the meeting?
;)
I missed that. Must’ve been after I quit watching.
It explains a lot. His bursts of brilliance followed by inexplicable meltdowns, emotionality inconsistent with a Y chromosome, and the incredible energy he’s had to do radio, TV, write books, organize events.
Thanks for the information.
