Serious, who still listens to Glenn Beck?

Posted on 10/11/2016 9:43:45 AM PDT by MNDude

I'm curious of the demographic of who still listens to Glenn Beck.

He used to speak Republican when they were much more united. After repeated betrayal by the establishment, millions of Republicans grew angry at the GOPe and began railing against them. Beck rode the anti-establishment wave preaching about how he was so much against the establishment.

Finally, the ultimate anti-establishment candidate appears, and Glenn Beck has used most of his entire radio show time to speak against Donald Trump, even to the point saying "voting for Hillary is a moral choice."

Today, I heard him on the radio for about 60 seconds saying "if Donald Trump is elected President, it will not only be the end of USA, but it will be the end of Western Civilization everywhere!"

I know there are some conservatives that don't like Trump, but I can't think of any who would advocate a Hillary Presidency! He's still on the air, so he must still have listeners...but who the heck are they?

I find it professionally amusing, but tasteful, in a human sort of way that Beck, Hannity and Levin all indirectly bash each other but are still all “good friends” in real life. Bortz used to be a part of that list. I don’t think any of them can stand Savage. But Savage hates them all and is rather smug and arrogant.

There is no middle ground!

Before there was Glenn Beck, there was Morton Downey Jr.

Now THERE was a fellow that made the little old ladies clutch at their pearls.

Before Morton Downey, Jr., there was Morton Downey, Sr.

He got them to say “well, I don’t really hate her, I just dislike her policies”. Uh-huh.


Reminds you of “hate the sin, love the sinner” which is a Gandhi quote.

But God sees no distinction, both the sin and the sinner go to hell, UNLESS there is repentance.

“Who still listens to Glenn Beck?”

I’ll let you know who his listeners are and other very important information, but not until next week.

I think I heard the same segment this morning. I tuned in to hear how he was going to explain his comments this last weekend.

From what I can gather, Beck has stated that he will not be voting for HRC - because we have known for decades that she is corrupt. And Beck has also stated very clearly that this election we have a “binary choice” - we will elect either HRC or Trump - these are the only possible outcomes.

Sooo... HRC is corrupt, and Beck will not vote for her, but Trump will destroy civilization as we know it - so we clearly can’t vote for him. He won’t actually say it, but by his own logic HRC being elected is the only acceptable outcome (because it’s “binary” according to Beck).

Beck is caught in an incoherent web of his own making. I have to apologize; in the past I’ve pushed back against some of the criticism of Beck, but since the convention his position is unacceptable, and borders on delusional.

Unfortunately, Ihave to upgrade my car’s stereo if I want a chance of pulling in Herman Cain on WSB in Atlanta regularly. Worse, the local AM station has Meghan McCain on after Hannity. When I can, I download a Vicki McKenna podcast from Wisconsin to listen when I can when on the road at night, but no audio input/Bluetooth on my ‘99 Buick Century, and my battery Bluetooth speaker died.

I see what you did there!!

I was listening to him up until last week....I will NOT listen to him at all until at least after the election (and maybe not even then). I am sooooooo fed up with his “NeverTrump, but not for Hillary either” nonsense!

I have un-followed him and The Blaze on all my social media as well....if he wants to be a media martyr, I can assist....

Thanks, I finally got mine to go through. Pretty sure I’ll get the same non-answer. I’ll get my husband to e-mail them later, to see if we all get the same response.

I stopped listening a long time ago when he stated losing it and turned into a statist. I used to really like him, but no longer.....

You can just tell folks who don’t get it

I will reply to several comments here:
Roger Kaputnik said: "Back on the booze or off his meds."

Karliner said: "The guy is unhinged."

Tenacious 1 said: "And originally, he did a good job with facts and data and connecting dots to make strong conservative points. Then somewhere, he decided more drama was needed. And then more and more and more...."

LibertarianLiz said: "I think that if you wanted to make a case, that would hold up in any court of law, for someone to be declared legally insane --- that statement would be it.

He has officially gone off the cliff. Now, I know that a lot of fellow Freepers would tell me he went off the cliff a long time ago; but, I think that this statement is absolute proof of "beyond the point of no return".

jonno said: "Beck is caught in an incoherent web of his own making. I have to apologize; in the past I’ve pushed back against some of the criticism of Beck, but since the convention his position is unacceptable, and borders on delusional."

Just prior to or around the time in which Beck launched 'The Blaze' I caught his program on Black History and was fascinated by what he and wallbuilders revealed and SHOULD be taught in schools.

I kept following periodically, particularly when he covered Marxist theory and how it impacted our current political situation. I also watched his series on the Muslim Brotherhood. Both topics were covered fairly well.

Around this time, he made announcements about health concerns which upset him, particularly about his sight. Perhaps it's coincidental but I can't help but wonder if the medications he is being treated with have anything to do with his moodiness and apparent mental breakdown.

I stopped watching after he made one too many announcements of major breakthroughs coming in his next program - none of which never surfaced. Can't help but wonder if these same behavioral inconsistencies are evident at home with his family as well. If medication related - one hopes this is addressed for the sake of all involved.

His fellow patients at the funny farm are his listeners. And maybe the janitor once in a while.

YEP! That's where I jumped off too. Each episode started being more dramatic than the last with less substance to connect the dots and more far reaching presumptions. The cringe factor kept getting higher and higher. And I was rooting for him to reign it back in a bit. Then the tears week after week about the country, his family, his past drinking problems.... I went through phases of confusion, frustration, feeling sorry for him, then apathy.... I haven't heard him since his first show on the Blaze (or whatever it was). It's been years so I don't know what level of crazy he is at today. And I was a BIG Cruz fan right up until we failed to endorse Trump.
