Glenn Beck likes Chris Christie... a lot. (video)

[Frenchtown Dan]

I voted for Christie, although I had some doubts about him. The alternative was Corslime, no doubt where my vote would go. But you always hear promises, promises until you see what they begin to do.

So far, I’m pleased, but he’s got one hell of a challenge ahead of him in this state with our way too powerful unions.

[wolfpat]

...is that because CNN & MSNBC suck so badly?

To a large extent, yes. But O'Reilly is the first person I ever saw on a major news program who contradicted the liberals' lies with the facts. Yeah, his opinions are wrong from time to time, but as long as he calls the liberals when they're so obviously lying, he'll keep getting viewers.

Bless his heart, Hannity means well, but he's an intellectual lightweight. When he has a chance to make a liberals support their lies, he'll throw the hypocrisy argument at them. I don't think that's a good strategy.

[Brilliant]

I’ll give him a break... But I’m not willing to annoint him a saint yet.

Christie was once called a RINO. Personally, I think his comments were refreshing, but I’m a “what have you done for me lately” guy. Let’s see him put his words into action.

Christie's first post-election appearance was before a pro-life, pro- family group. He attributed his victory to values voters. He took a strong stand against gay marriage.

[SueRae]

From what I’ve seen of Christie, I’m for him, too. He’s doing the tough work and exactly what he was elected to do. Right now, he’s one of the very few I’ve seen with a plan and some early results. He is leading! And if he is successful in turning the tide in NJ and I hope he is, then his methods should serve others in taking the tough steps needed to regain some sanity in our budgeting, taxes and growth.

Let’s face it, the old ways aren’t working...and it’s going to get worse before it gets better..but what he’s doing is what needs to be done. And I wish him well.

[SueRae]

Bret and Greta. They are top shelf. I do accoasionally tune into Beck, his storyboards are interesting and have promoted good action and are eye-openers. But I don’t appreciate drama.

[SueRae]

The NJ media..you are correct. The NJ Star Ledger pulled the Christie video from all sites claiming copyright issues. Thay can’t handle the TRUTH!!

[Earthdweller]

I've seen both of the Beck videos with the reporters question and answer. Where is the info about the original so-called confrontation? Thanks.

[Carley]

Oh the left goes mad over Beck’s blackboard.

And the red phone. Makes me laugh.

Greta has come a very long way from her days at CNN. She sees clearly now.

Bret is a must see. First time in nearly 40 yrs. of marriage that we have the TV on during dinner.

And when Shep appears......CLICK

Ditto BO’RE

Christie may be a fiscal conservative but I'm sure he's no social conservative.

It's great that he's putting the media in its place, but is he really a true conservative?

[4rcane]

when palin support the tarp. It makes ppl question whether she is reliable when it matter most. She doesn’t talk about fed reserve, gold and austrian economics, so ppl wonder if she know what policy is neccessary for promote growth. Tax cut is not enough anymore. We need huge spending cuts across everything, including military and policy to promote savings

[Carley]

The Christie video has made an appearance across the US.

The internet defeats the censors, EVERY time.

[DTogo]

Glenn and his Anvil of Truth & Hammer of Non-violence... not how America was founded and freedom has been defended.

[Carley]

I am beginning to believe that the Sept. 18th. attack on the markets by the hedge funds was the precursor to the attack on the markets last week.

NY stock exchange put in curbs but according to their own testimony before congress, the other exchanges refused to obey the curbs.

I think the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is at the heart of the attack.

[Guenevere]

well said

[Guenevere]

perhaps you should read post# 44

[dforest]

He did enjoy seeing a GOP guy stand up to the media. He isn’t interested in being President though this time around. Maybe in 2020, if he is still kicking. He is more qualified than the current occupier of the WH.

[Aria]

Glenn is more than an entertainer...although he is frequently entertaining.

Van Jones, Cass Sustein, John Holden, Maurice Strong...the Chicago Exchange set up to trade carbon for the benefit of the usual suspects including Algore, Franklin Raines....etc. etc. etc. there are a TON of things I’ve learned from him that no one else has the guts to touch.

If journalism weren’t so corrupt he’d get a Pulitzer.

[reaganbooster]

Actually there was.

He said somthing to the effect of “you should see me when I’m really p*ssed!” To me it’s still tame stuff and perhaps not street language per se, but it’s kind of refreshing to see passion and conviction from a GOP elected official. It’s way too rare these days.

Good job, Gov. Christie!

[GBA]

Maybe Beck is just glad to see a man act like a man in the GOP, instead of cowed sissy boys.

That's absolutely true for me. I am so used to seeing pussy rinos rolling over and peeing on themselves when someone suggests that they've violated Political Corruptness.

Good to see a Republican man stand up and get busy doing what's right and not give a damn about the next election or what some smarmy lib reporter thinks. Do the right thing and elections usually take care of themselves.
