Why do Freepers have a problem with Glen Beck?

Posted on 07/25/2014 8:27:27 AM PDT by MNDude

I've seen some negative comments about conservative talk radio host "Glen Beck" in here lately.

Wasn't he the one that brought a million conservatives to a rally in Washington DC? So I'm just curious, if there is one thing you don't like about Mr. Beck, what is it?

My only problem is that his show does not grab my interest. I have no problem with any show that differs from my own opinion but is interesting and well done. On the flip side, there are many shows, Hannity for example, that I agree with the host’s opinions but do not listen or watch because the show is boring and the host is not too bright.

He lost me in the last election. He seemed to demonize every Republican candidate until the only option left was Romney. I don’t remember him criticizing Romney.

“What does bkmk mean? Try it in English.”

I assume it meant “bookmark”. Someone must have a few stuck keys on their keyboard.

His overly inflated opinion of himself and his weepy histrionics are repellent to me.

Oh wait — that’s two things.

At any rate, I do agree with him on a lot of political points, but the above items are a deal-breaker for me.

All of the above. And probably below, if anyone else posts.

The First lady an I met Beck twice, once at Clearchannel, and once at Macdill during Airfest (?). Spoke with him for 10-15 minutes. We like the guy, although don’t listen to him often.

I knew it had something to do with that flying inman thing.

Yea I don’t like it that he left the Church either. I’ll just pray he comes back.

He brought all those folks to DC under the guise of an anti-Obama protests, then bait-and-switched it to an evangelization.

I’m tired of his harangues.

The Bundy issue is when I started getting fed up with GB...this border Welcome Wagon stunt was the LAST STRAW, for me.

I was a long time supporter of GB, too. Enjoyed his FoxNews shows. Subscribed to his email updates, The BlazeTV, bought a couple of his sponsored products, etc.

I’ve dropped ANY/ALL connections to him.

GB? Who’s that?

Watching Beck detiorate on FNC over the years leads me to believe that he needs a psych eval. The man ain’t right in the head.

Coming up next for pay premium members only I will allude to the reasons why I don't like Beck. I will not however reveal the real reason until maybe Monday or Tuesday of next month.

My problem with Gen Beck is that he has jumped the Rand Paul Shark.

Dr, Krauthammer has an excellent article on National Review, entitled, The Vacant President. The article is about why Obama appears so disengaged on foreign issues and it could apply to Rand Paul as well.

IMO, he comes across as a Messiah wannabe, far too self-absorbed for his own good.

OTOH, he has been a good teacher to those who were unaware of the history of progressivism and the evil of Alinsky.

His Libertarianism may explain his weepy bs. It’s very off putting, in any event.

Glenn Beck is like those ads that pop up in your email promising the “secret” to paying off your mortgage in 6 months, or achieving startling weight loss in 30 days, or providing a secret list of foods that will cure, or prevent, cancer, or providing a method of building a fortune in gold, etc. They tease you into continuing to click their links and then never allow you to get out of the reel. Beck is always promising to let you in some secret, but he never delivers.

I don’t have time for that nonsense.
