Glenn Beck Has Brass Gonads
Townhall ^ | August 29, 2009 | Doug Giles

Posted on 08/29/2009 8:27:32 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Don’t you know Obama and his ilk wish to God (or whoever the heck they wish to) that Glenn Beck would fall into adultery with an Argentinean newswoman, or cut his jugular vein while shaving, or show up drunk, high and naked to his FOX show and forever be publically vilified, marginalized and thus muzzled?

Beck has formally joined Rush as an Official Pain in Barack Obama’s Backside (OPIBOB). (Are you an OPIBOB yet?) Yep, not only has Obama’s administration called Rush out, but the White House has now phoned Beck during his TV show in an attempt to get him to dial the heck down.

Glenn said this past week that Barack’s minions were actually calling his show while he was on air because he was being a meany. When I heard this I was sitting there eating pretzels and drinking a martini thinking: Are you kidding me? Is Perez Hilton running the White House? The White House is actually calling Beck during his program in an attempt to get him to cease and desist his digs? Wow . . . sounds, pretty gay to me. No offense to gay people, of course.

So, what’s next, Whine House? Are you gonna post an angry note on Beck’s Facebook wall? Are you going to place Glenn’s picture on the White House website and draw naughty stuff on his forehead? Unbelievable. Not only do we have to contend with and check a radical Socialist-in-Chief at every point, but we also have to a field a cheeky, paranoid, oversensitive staff that makes Nixon look like Andy Griffith’s Aunt Bee.

So, what’s all the hubbub about? Why is Beck under their epidermis? Well, it’s principally because he asks questions. And if there is one thing that derails the Hope and Change Train, it’s questions. Oh, I almost forgot: Facts also get them purty PO’ed. Questions and facts . . . can’t have that. Yep, both of those little damnable ditties are detrimental to Obama’s oligarchical grasp.

For those who missed Beck’s week of must-see TV, he boldly parleyed into the President’s court questions several million of us want to ask but don’t have a top-ranked TV show on the most watched cable news channel to get the proper respect and response. Here’s a little sample of Beck’s mischievous queries. On Monday he inquired:

- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?

- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?

- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?

- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?

- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special advisor to the president?

- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?

- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?

- If the “public option” health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?

- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?

- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about “not letting a crisis go to waste”?

- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

On Tuesday Beck wondered aloud:

- Who is “surrounding” the President in the White House?

- Do any of the President’s advisers have criminal records?

- Are the President’s advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?

- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

- What roles do they have in crafting bills?

- What was “STORM”? What happened to the founders, and where are they now?

- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?

- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?

- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?

- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?

On Wednesday Glenn wanted to know:

- Why does the FCC have a diversity “czar”?

- Who is Mark Lloyd, and how does he plan to “balance” the airwaves?

- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine, or worse?

- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?

- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?

- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government won’t regulate free speech?

- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

If Lloyd has his way, stations that don't comply with the government’s definition of the “public interest” will have to pay a massive fine—which helps support public broadcasting:

- What will be the definition of “public interest”?

- Who defines “public interest”?

- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house, and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them.)

On Thursday GB thought:

- Why do we need a civilian force?

- Who is posing a threat to us?

- Who will this “force” be made up of?

- Who is the real enemy?

- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

(*For the full list visit: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29631/) You see, Beck was just asking questions. Hey, White House . . . Can we not ask questions anymore? Is that verboten? Can we not ask our elected officials to explain themselves, elucidate a bit about their odd buddies and make clear their policies and proposals?

Can we not question you boys with boldness, hold to the truth, and speak without fear of reprisal? Huh?

In the words of my redneck hunting buddy, better known as the West Texas Warrior, “Why, hell we can!” Not only can we, ladies and gents, but we must.

Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is our nation; this ain’t Cuba or Venezuela yet. We pay the government’s bills, and therefore they answer to us, they represent us—and if they don’t then we take their airplanes, limos, mistresses and five-star hotels away from them. Yeah, I believe that’s how it’s supposed to work.

Keep asking the hard questions, boys and girls. Don’t let them tread on you.

Great job, Mr. Beck.

" Yeah — a hard time taking him seriously. That’s always been my problem with him for some reason. But he’s been doing some really clever stuff recently, and I’m starting to come around"

I think the few things that really stand out when folks start to watch Glen Beck is .. :

He is defiantly not boring, he is the one who lives up a party.... he is a " character " for sure.
He has a witty sense of humor, and makes facial expression to prove a point.
His sarcasm really drives it home to those it is directed against.
But, these traits kind of grow on you the more you watch him.
He defiantly is passionate in what he says and believes in.

Beck is not without his idiosyncrasies. I think he means well and he has faced many demons. But he loves this country and he knows a demon when he sees one.

I love it! Although it's also a testament to how worthless the Republican party has become. Why does it take Talk Radio to do this? Right now the true Paul Rever’s are the following, Savage, Beck, Rush, Hannity, Boortz, Levin, etc... There is more, but these are the mainstream leaders... Like I said where is the Republican party leaders? How come it takes talk radio to point out the obvious?

I continue to wonder, and ponder that, myself.

My country- dare I be mawkish, and say, "land that I love?"-- is being dragged in to this:

...by the Indonesian/Kenyan/Whateverian Con Artist & Fraud who won't even prove where he came from...

Is it any surprise that, increasingly, I see both the Stupid and Evil Parties as this?

Send a letter a day to your reps and senators for each question asked. I can’t wait for this to gain legs. I want answers. And I want legislation limiting the amount and kinds of ‘staff’ on these presidential appointments without a proper vetting process.

You are sooo right. I miss Bush and the dignity he brought to the Office and the WH. Oh my gosh, and how I miss Laura Bush! She was as strong as Michelle but with grace and class and sensitivity.

"Also, I wonder if Michelle Savage is jumping back on the Glen Beck band wagon ? .... I would not doubt that Savage has said some nasty things about Beck."

No, Savage didn't support Glenn, he complainted that Beck never mentioned his ban in Britain.

LOL..I was changing my 18month old Granddaughter when Glenn Beck came on TV she bent herself in half to look at him. Imagine my surprise when my Son told me he and his Daughter watch Glenn every day and she sits quietly until he is over.

I have new hope for our Country with the Younger Generation paying attention, if my nonpolitical Son gets it, others will as well.

Say a prayer..my Son is working at the G20 in September.

I have lost faith in the Republican party. They are like the democrats in the early 80s. Bush was a fiscal Socialist and the party has let him get away with it. Sorry but the Republicans have lost me. Unless they become conservatives again and care about borders, language and culture... they will not get a penny.

I think if it comes down to Brown Shirts in the streets there would be a bigger backlash from the military.

I think they know this, and are careful to estimate this properly.

Glenn Beck is issuing dire warnings about Obama’s “Civilian Security Force...stronger and better-funded than the US military" (in Obama's own words).

Beck keeps baiting Obama to tell who is the "civilian enemy" the “Civilian National Security Force will be fighting..

THE MODUS OPERANDI Obama/Rahm/Holder are purposefully antagonizing large conservative groups in middle America in an effort to cause civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law.

Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome admin are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.

If these arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

We are witnessing the emergence of a new government dictatorship...on American soil. History tells us that the rampant corruption, fed by cronyism, are the nuts and bolts of dictatorships.

Dictatorships are almost always governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect each other from accountability.

ACORN---blindly loyal to Obama via federal-funding----is his personal Civilian Security Force, ready to silence the populace and march us to reeducation camps.

Glenn Beck beat out Oreilly with viewers last week!

And the AMAZING thing is that he did it in the 5pm slot, when most people are still commuting home from work!

TV talk's ultimate weasel, the FR-bashing, Obama-apologist, moral-relativist, Trojan Horse conservative, Bill O'Reilly has sat on the fence for so long I hope he wears lead Fruit-of-the-Looms.

He just won't wholeheartedly join the team NOW when all hands are needed aboard to save this country....and thus his name will forever live in infamy.
