That right there is “PRICELESS”. LMAO
[Yup. Laugh at Normie.]
I’ll be the first one to say you were right if turns out he is blowing smoke, but IF it turns out YOU were wrong, will you do the same?
There we have it - the conclusion of the matter.
Did you read all my posts? I’m not saying that he definitely has nothing. My issue is how he is going about the whole mess. Personally I do not think he has a fraction of what he says, nor do I think anything will come of it.
But If he does have something other than hype,and it does make a difference then ... Good for all of us and I will gladly admit that I was wrong on that part. I have no problem with that at all. But he is still wrong for his theatrics bullshit over a natsec issue.
I know if I only had one stone to use against a Goliath, I'd wait for the right moment, for the perfect shot that would bring about the result I desired, rather than waste it.
Personally, I don't know what he has, who his sources are and what he has promised them, how many others are involved, who is in the greatest danger or how mishandling this information could jeopardize them or any potential future informants coming to him.
Your dislike for him is clear and I know that nothing I offer will dissuade you from your emotions. For you, he has earned them. Fair enough.
Beck, like everyone else, is a work in progress. He's made his share of mistakes and he's not finished making them.
He's also done a fair amount of good for the nation and I don't think he's finished doing that either. I can take the good with the bad...as if there is a choice with human beings?
I dislike what he is doing. I do not hate him personally.
Seriously. Say you have what he claims to. A bomified national security issue that could do all the evil he claims.
Do you sit on it and give the enemy a chance to counter it? Or do you do your duty as an American and expose it without a 3 day waiting period?
Gotta second that from a personal view all my own. Hannity is the master of ‘vapid repeat what I just said’ but say it almost exactly like I did the last 50 times. Some people reiterate using different angles, phrases and words. Not Hannity. His unique brand of banal communication is all his. Very hard to watch lone enough listen to, although I appreciate what he does. He is far more successful than I in the world, and he has a lot of loyal followers.
We'll just have to wait and see...
Perhaps you didn’t answer the question. That aside, it is never right to use stuff remotely like this to boost ones ratings. He could have messaged the admin through quiet channels and had the same result from them...which will be none at all other than cya. In fact he likely endangered the whistleblowers and set them up for a witchhunt.
For what?
I hope he has the Rosetta stone and I am way off. But it is still BS and he’s playing games far outside his league that could get people in bigtime doo doo.
Norm, we all on this forum know this country is at a crisis. The information Beck is about to disclose is likely not to come as a surprise to many FReepers. Much of it has likely been postulated here by numerous FReepers. Indeed, Beck’s team probably has used us as a resource.
We are not his audience. Nobody here has the resources to tie it all together and nobody here has the delivery vehicle to make it public. As I said before, Rush does, Hanity does, Fox News does... But their unwilling. All of those have access to the same information that Beck would have, as would the drive by media.
You probably have been exposed to more information than 99.9% of the population.
As for me, I know that we are being fed BS by the administration, but I wouldn’t know where to start tying it all together and putting a bow on it for delivery to the public. Nor do I have any way of communicating it. Perhaps you do... If so, you don’t have to wait for Beck, you can preempt him.
So for now, Becks’ team is the best hope we have for getting the message out there that I can see.
As for people thinking your crazy, I don’t think that that is true. Your just too negative...
Is it negative or is it being realistic based on historical example?
Look, I do not think I’m the Oracle of Delphi. But I see mo benefit for anyone to keep up the Charlie Brown routine. If people who share my 99% info access cannot even acknowledge that there is a problem in this scenario, how will the public at large when Lucy grabs the football and asks to play next time?
In short, if we intentionally stick our heads in the sand, we get what we deserve.
I have never hated anyone.
Either prove your statement or shut up.
He’s done more to bring honesty on real matters than any other goofy on-air showman. I can’t stand listening to his radio show. I force myself a couple of times a week, to just listen, anyhow. For all his shorting a delivery, he has still delivered more actionable results, than any other political talk show host you can name. If he’s short again-phuck it. It did not cost you, me or anyone else a dime. He’s risking his word, again. So what’s the skin off your nose?
The same as the skin off yours. If this is more BS, aside from his grandstanding it torpedoes conservatives. It feeds the meme that right wing media is all hype and BS with loudmouths spouting garbage.
It makes it harder for people out in moderate land to take conservatives seriously. That IS a problem. Do you agree?
“We’ll all be tuning in Monday and he will disappoint.”
Not me, all I have to do is come here later Monday and all you tunners will have posted it :)
“In short, if we intentionally stick our heads in the sand, we get what we deserve.”
Seems to me that Beck is the only one out there with a large audience that is NOT sticking his head in the sand.
Until monday when we can all tune in and give him hits/ratings?
We are right back to the core. If he has the goods, why play games with them? He is by definition keeping pertinent info buried somewhere and for a provably profitable outcome.. And potentially endangering the leakers in the process while O scrambles to discover who told who what.
Had he spilled, O would be lying left and right and setting himself up for all kinds of legal/political trouble, not looking for leakers to crucify/threaten/disappear, Benghazi witness style.
Assuming Beck is straight up on this.
No, I do not agree. The moderates are nothing. You are either on-board or not. They can make their decisions dock side, with the children, wives and media. There is no possible way, GBeck is hurting a decision maker. Conservatives are only taken seriously, by other conservatives. That is the way, it works. Always has, and always will, Norm. You know that, right?
“If this is more BS, aside from his grandstanding it torpedoes conservatives.”
I don’t hear any other “conservatives” out there saying a darn thing, or even asking the questions that need to be ask. Nobody seems to have the guts...
Glen’s sticking his neck out. Some of what he says will undoubtedly be true. I don’t know that he can tie it all together, but at least he’s going to try (assuming he makes it through the weekend).
“He is by definition keeping pertinent info buried somewhere and for a provably profitable outcome.”
Nothing has been buried. All this information is already out there and known by others. Beck’s the one that’s digging it up.
