By saying that Republican John McCain would have been a worse president than Barack Obama............
(I have no use for the rest of this website's drivel. I just want the substance of what Beck said)

With that simple statement you place a letter in front of your name, a letter that means more to you than the truth, the country, or facts. I know that you believe that Republicans are better for the country, are more likely to tell the truth, and adhere more closely to the facts, as do I. I don't expect perfection, close is good enough, if you are seriously striving towards it, but it has been a long time since a person in any party has even tried that tactic. Instead they talk of smaller govt, limited federal role and a return to the Constitution, but they DO NOTHING to advance this cause.....not even lip service any more.
I know this sounds harsh, but why go on supporting the party that brought forth the exact same abomination that the federal govt has become. You do know that the financial system of this country is near total collapse, Obama has sold our friends out for his petty reasons, and McCain has not even commented. God help this country, and help those that have belief in party over truth to wake up.
I know that only a Democrat or Republican can conceivably win a major election in this country. I know that to vote for a third party is a wasted vote...THE WAY THINGS ARE CURRENTLY CONFIGURED.....but if we...you, me and all believers in Conservatism hold out....yell loudly enough, maybe...just maybe we can pull the corrupted ones back across the center to the right a little bit. Heck, I would take a Democrat majority, if most of those were new members of Congress. The other side is not our enemy, just knee jerks of another sort.
We have to quit being so knee jerk in our voting habits. There really are more of us than we know......and as Rush says, the truth will win...maybe Republicans should try some of that radical stuff to get elected.
Has anyone noticed Glenn is accentuating his libertarianism, vs his conservatism? He’s trying to widen his base and reach some of the middle in an attempt to take back control of this country. He’s quite a good conservative, imho.
At least she's honest about who she is, a "progressive," as opposed to McCain, who is whatever the legislation-de-jeure makes him wanna be.
...and going a step further, it makes Glenn a bit less of a target if he doesn’t have a big R painted on his back. That may explain his McCain comment.
Two quotes from you:
“You guys just wont accept the fact that levin was an idiot...”
“It is stupid for one conservative to attack another”
As for me, I’ll stand by Levin and Beck and Rush, et. al., for advancing the cause. Sit all of them down at a table and throw out an issue, and you get a different passionate opinion from each one. Conservatives are individuals and think that way.
Sit ten liberals down at a table and they will sing the same tune as if they were in a well-practiced choir.
I think he is too.
I agree with you. I wish them all success.
Let’s see:
1. Nixon’s second term began in 1973 and he left office in 19974. That means Ford served more than 2 years and had he won reelection he could have only served those 4 years.
2. I agree what happened with Ford in office 1976 to 1980 would have had a lot to do with how the 1980 election turned out.
It is fun to speculate but like Beck’s conjecture about McCain it is only just conjecture.
That's true. At this very moment, Obama's trying to figure out a way to do away with conservative talk radio.
...and going a step further, it makes Glenn a bit less of a target if he doesn’t have a big R painted on his back. That may explain his McCain comment.Sorry but if you ever watched his TV hour you'd know he's not worried about being a target.
Given that elected pinhead Republicans (including GW) are labeled "conservatives" we should all run like scalded dogs from the association of the title "conservative" .
Exactly...Why did Glenn even get involved in a discussion of John McCain. He's mostly irrelevant now...
He read from Mark’s book on the air, on his show and spoke the words, almost verbatim as if they were his own. He has done this more than once.
He gave no indication to his audience that they were not his words but belonged to a published author.
This is just wrong.
Mark gave him behind the scene’s response to this, as a polite warning that this should cease. When after repeated requests it did not cease, Mark took the gloves off.
Do you blame him?
“Maybe if the people he supposedly stole this stuff from actually did something with it, Beck wouldn’t have anything to steal.”
Oh, you mean Mark’s landmark million seller book from which Beck quoted without attributing it to the author, a few times wasn’t “doing something”?
You haven’t hurd of the leftist saying that Rush is done and Beck is our leader?
Wrong. McCain became relevant again as soon as the election was over. He is a sitting Senator and he is seeking re-election once again. I have posted my links plenty since then and when the election starts to gear up I will post them even more.
That is your right.
But I suggest you look into why Mark took the gloves off in public, after repeated warnings to Beck and then get back to me.
very well said. I stopped paying any attention to Hannity when he insisted on blowing his buddy, the northeastern liberal elite rooty toot, every damn night on TV and during the day on his radio show. Beck is indeed approaching Rush in quite a few different areas and Rush has been big enough to acknowledge Glenn positively recently. the fact that Levin and Hannity reportedly (by what I have read here on FR) will not/have not mentioned Beck says a lot...
Then it all was about Levins ego. I agree with you completely
That is your right.
But I suggest you look into why Mark took the gloves off in public, after repeated warnings to Beck and then get back to me.
Liberty and Tyranny is a book for the ages, and Mark has every right to protect his property. He slaved over that book and it shows. No ghost writers, 100% TGO.
So as much as we all find arguments in public in the conservative family unproductive to the movement, perhaps think instead of the one who stole, not the victim of the theft.
yes
Your a fool Mark Levin wrote several articles and denounced Mcccain on the air more than Beck. Beck is clueless to the fact that the goal should be taking back the republican party kick the RINOS out instead of some dreamed up UTOPIA of a party that will stand for all that is good in America. We need to stop this administration first go for base hits not a home run will never happen. Beck has done good work but not the smartest tool in the shed 3rd party spells victory for the marxist. Why do you think the media is starting to put a Rush vs Beck idea out there create division and more noise of 3rd party.
