Mark Levin: I have no idea what philosophy Glenn Beck is promoting. And neither does he

Both Levin and Bennett need to pull their heads out of their asses. There is nothing Beck said or did at CPAC that warrants the kind of snotty, holier than thou responses both of them have shown today.

Ain't that the truth!

[whatisthetruth]

Well please tell him to just stay out of McCain and Palin’s way. Thanks!

While no big fan of Mr. Beck, his political tastes are all over the “right” side of the map. I get the impression that Beck is a mirror of millions of awakening Americans who haven’t been politically aware in their lifetimes. Like them, Beck is still “feeling his way” about the landscape. He’s on the proper highway, he just hasn’t managed to stay off the shoulders and berms, yet.

[spodefly]

It is unseemly that you don’t give enough respect to Levin and Bennett.

Sorry I don't buy into your brand of Upper West Side elitism, which is what half the posts on this thread are starting to sound like now. Just like some snotty ivy league princess calling Palin a hick because of her no name college, so many on this thread want to equate Beck and his education with not being worthy of "The Great One".

I happen to value Levin, Bennett, and Beck, for different reasons. I don't believe Beck said or did anything that should have Levin and Bennett acting out the way they are, nor justifying the snooty, looking down your nose superiority as is being shown on this thread.

My problem with Beck does not include these things: It is not that he is teaching about Progressivism. It is not that he commands and audience. It is not that he is making money. It is not that he is entertaining.

He has stolen written thoughts from Levin and claimed them as his own. Levin has been in the conservative movement since he was maybe 14 years old. He has spent his life learning and thinking about these major philosophical and practical ideas in the conservative movement. I wrote about this too, not that I'm just a great big Levin fan, (I am) but I believe it does not take much to see the breadth of understanding of the constitution and the founding that Levin has. Beck cheapens all of this by stealing and acting as though he's the professor with the chalkboard and has so many original thoughts that he can churn out books hand over fist. I really believe that Beck is in a bad situation right now with his mental health. Not that he's crazy, just that he seems very vulnerable and sensitive. If he has ADD and is an admitted past coke user and alcoholic, perhaps now catching flak is his new high. But that is dangerous to anyone's mental state.

Further, I attend my local Republican Party meetings and the new people coming in watch Beck (good right?) except that they all say the same things like robots, always repeating progressive, RINO, and so on. They are going to get pissed the first time any Republican gets a nomination not to their liking and they will jump ship, IMHO. This battle is going to last for a very long time and I'm afraid Beck is not giving them the best advice. He is irresponsible in his leadership.

Oh get off your high horse, resty. You support Romney and he has supported a lot worse than gambling (gay marriage, socialist healthcare, and abortion).

There are many of us on here who have a very good idea why you support Mitt and Beck.

Such as?

[ohioWfan]

Ah yes, the liberal Michael Savage giving advice on conservatism to his followers.

The irony never ceases to amaze me. :)

Perhaps time to leave? This has been a pretty productive, civil discussion so far.

I don't think that's coincidence.

You think God is using these secular voices because of their religion? God is going to use different religions to get HIS TRUTH out? You think that's what we are about here - learning about our culture, the law, etc.?

No where in the Bible does it say - learn all you can about the world! We are to learn about His Kingdom and seek after that. And, when He does raise up someone, that person will give all the glory to God. If you want to learn about economics - go to the Bible! Learn His Way, not man's. And His way is very different than man's.

If you were well read, you would know that the founding of the Hong Kong colony was to be a base for the Windsor family’s opium and heroin distribution business

Excuse but I am aware of that it just it was the LaRussies who printed it.

Also there has been many documentaries done on that topic as well!

The Birchers I am not aware of all that they wrote.

[reaganaut]

Hannity clearly feels very threatened by Beck

- - - - - - - -
I can’t imagine why, Beck is nowhere near Hannity’s league. Beck is a flash in the pan.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Also....Beck's attacking and mocking the birthers and suggesting they are as fringe as the truthers is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!!"

Especially since Levin's been such an outspoken supporter of the birthers...

I notice you said Levin can’t keep an audience. Evidence? He’s far bigger than Beck in NY, LA, Chicago, SF, Dallas, and on and on. Scarborough, a brick if there ever was one, says even he beats Beck in NY. Beck never discusses his radio ratings because they must suck. What are they? By the way, I hear he’s coming out with a novel and 3 more books this year, plus more stage shows, a couple if $120 seminars, and maybe a few mugs. Suckers!

[reaganaut]

BFD!

I’ve watched Beck enough to know he doesn’t fully represent me.

If he does you, your problem hon, not mine.

AMEN!

Upper West side elitism? I’m a seamstress from the frozen north! LOL

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/24957/ GLENN: You know, I have to tell you, the answer is to get away from the two-party system because they are both progressives. Just progressive and progressive light. But they’re both progressives and they have been taking us down this road for over 100 years.

[reaganaut]

Are you just one of those folks who just want one voice all the rest shut up and set down!

Pot calling the kettle black, Resty?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Well, he is getting all of you trolls in a tizzy, that’s for sure.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

He has stolen written thoughts from Levin and claimed them as his own.

All of you idiots keep repeating that, but not a single one of you can come up with an example. Enough already. Either produce examples of this 'theft' or STFU already.

.don’t worry about the DC insiders supporting McCain

DC insiders - the very ones we want out! There is no listening to them. Good for him - he MUST win! It's seems that for the good to take out evil - it's an uphill climb and it's usually just one person against an onslaught.

But I'm a 'nothing is impossible with God' believer! Go JD!
