That 3rd to last paragraph was incongrous. Class warfare thrown in after a Libertarian Conservative rant. Was that Beck or vanity?
It’s amazing how all these cross over personalities that have radio and TV shows are either better at one or the other.
Hannity is better on radio.
O’Reilly is better on TV.
Beck is better on TV.
Rush was equally good on both.
Maybe I think Beck is so much better on TV because he his educational approach and reporting of facts sometimes require something simple like a dry erase board, which he uses extremely well. I just wish there were more like him for the simple reason if they get him off the air by any method there is no one to pick up the pieces.
Right now there’s exactly one person doing the work he is. Given his ratings bonanza you would think that SOMEONE would try and out Beck Beck. Yet all we get are more Kool Aid drinker reports.
You’d think money would motivate ONE more reporter or ONE more newspaper or TV network. The road map is there yet no one will follow it.
That alone tells you how far gone the reporting profession is in this country. Beck doesn’t have to compete for scoops against any other person or out let simply because no one in the profession even wants to ask the questions that are so painfully obvious.
BOR has blonde bimbettes on his show instead of real experts. Is it the ratings or personal preferences?

BOR has less than ideal guests in order to look superior.
Are community organizers, ACORN and SEIU loyal followers akin to having one's own private non-military army within the nation? When Obama told them to "get in their faces," it certainly appeared his own "army" was called to duty (and groups of them have been bussed to town hall meetings and given priority seating and have been called upon to solidify support for his healthcare plan).
You're right, nothing they do would surprise most of us (and not in a good way).
I'm attending a community college (late in life), and the other day, I was sitting in the cafeteria at school - a young man was sitting at the table next to me. He turned on his laptop & the Obama Joker picture came on as his desktop picture. I smiled and chuckled to myself.
It's not that they don't "want" to ask the questions, it's that they REFUSE to ask the questions, and we, in turn, refuse to watch them.
Beck is running a gauntlet today, that yesteryear, was simply investigative reporting. Not only is most of the MSM now a lobbying sector for the left, but most who aren’t, act if they are trapped in a minefield with only a bayonet to poke around with.
He’s a spearhead right now. Perhaps others will find the courage to follow in the wake.

Beck ought to answer the phone on air and demand to speak with the Bummer himself.
PLEASE! Zero is on 24/7 until it's sickening. It's already unbearable.
...watered with the blood of patriots.
In my own small way.
Cudo’s to Beck, its time for some honest answers from the Socialists, Communists, and intollarant on the other side.
I love Glenn Beck. I pray that God continues to protect him and his family because I fear he is on the “list” of some very powerful and very scary people.
This last week was RIVETING.
I actually like his silliness because he makes great points and makes me laugh at the same time. I am also a bit of a silly, so I enjoy his sense of humor. I cannot even describe the show where he was talking about “crazed doctors cutting off people’s feet for cash” without laughing, and that was over two weeks ago. He just cracks me up!
God bless, strengthen, and protect Mr. Beck.
Actually it’s of Old Norse origin and quite commonly used in Scotland due to the Norse occupation of the Scottish Hebrides...:)
Hat tip for a great thread!
Thank you!
