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?

He cranks the bass up all the way on his mic on Sirius XM so the speakers rumble and I can’t understand him. However, I can understand the two chuckleheads yukking it up in the background just fine.

He seldom pays off a tease, even if the tease lasts for months.

He cries.

There are better things to listen to.

I’ve long felt Beck was a spoof that went horribly wrong and got believers instead of laughs and now he’s just playing out the string. A lot of the stuff he does is so over the top silly, and comes amazingly close to being exactly what Colbert says in his acknowledged spoof, that it’s just impossible to take him seriously. Add the fact that his production company is named after Orson Welle’s War of the World troupe and there’s no way to see him other than a badly misunderstood fake.

I gave up on Beck when he had his TV show on FoxNews. Nearly every week he claimed to have an explosive exposé coming — later in the week. Most of them fizzled into nothing but a commentary based on supposition.

Thant turned me off as well. His website sucks as well. Always messes up my browser. I don’t dislike him, i just can do without the drama.

His schtick seems canned and insincere to me...

Because he is a two faced phony. He puts other people down for what they do and he does it himself. Glenn is not about saving the country. He about his profit.

He’s a snake-oil salesman who just happened to determine that conservatives were a good target market.

Bingo. We have a winner.

He’s on the same page as Sheila Jackson Lee, taking Loli-pops to illegal aliens and denouncing their deportations back where they came from.

He also has the most annoying ‘Conservative’ website out there.

Glenn Becks morning zoo radio is unlistenable plus he turned into a big fat lib on the border. He is always raising money for publicity efforts such as his recent border stunts.

He ain’t getting my money or my ears

That’s not even a serious question. You only need listen to him for a show or two and it becomes apparent he is unstable. He has convinced himself that he is some kind of a prophet, and thus, he suffers from a god complex. From the goofy way he acts on radio and TV I suspect he takes way too many anti-depression drugs.

Glen Beck, who played the navigator on the B-52 in the movie Dr. Strangelove? I never had a problem with him.

1. Super hyping impending secret bombshells that never pan out

2. Excessive crying, emotionalism and other unmanly behavior

3. Soccer balls for crying Juanito

Michael Wiener, aka Savage is also another one we hate here.

I used to listen to him, but since learning that he contributed to Jerry Brown, I refuse to ever do so again. He's a phony.

His radio show with him and his juvenile sidekicks cracking wise is unlistenable.

Amen, Amen, Amen.
They're all talking at once, laughing at the stupidest remarks. Awful. To paraphrase a line from the movie The Four Seasons w/ Alan Alda.
"Every time Glenn farts, the sidekicks think it's Guy Lombardo"

I have no time for drama, if I wanted drama I would connect with extended family.
I saw him on FOX, and heard his radio show, but the Blaze is to ‘touchy’ and frankly there are better sources of news than Glen Beck.
Beck is a libertarian and libertarians do not have a value system I identify with. To his credit he has brought attention to right leaning ideas and has had a large following at times.
Beck needs to stay focused on America and what is in its best interests. There is a reason why the attendant tells you to put your mask on first, it is so you help others. He is all over the place.
