I am Done With Glenn Beck! He is now boring, idiotic, and not conservative.
redstate.com ^

Posted on 08/23/2010 8:52:45 AM PDT by big black dog

When Glenn Beck came to Fox News his show was brilliant and a can’t miss program that was interesting, creative, and a real threat to Obama and the Liberals. During the past year and half is show has steadily declined since it began and has now become completely unwatchable. For his first 6 months I never missed a episode and now I could care less about Beck. There are many reasons I lost interest in Beck and no longer watch and listen to him.

Glenn Beck is not a conservative and both his TV show and radio show have become annoying. Beck has devolved into nothing more than a fickle Paultard that is both condesending and patronizing. Glenn Beck is not a conservative and not really for the advancement of conservatism. Beck has bought into the Ron Paul agenda hook line and sinker. My take is that Beck has run out of stuff to stay and is now boring and idiotic. He is not advancing the Conservative agenda and is pretty much promoting the Paultard agenda that seeks to undermine real a real conservative agenda. Plus his annoying theme song on the radio is awful and really annoying just like Beck.

Glenn Beck is a huckster and with nothing of value to say that has not already been said by smarter people that are not fickle Paultards. Beck puts out a crappy book every few months and has his one man shows and comedy tour and even goes on tour with Ted Baxter, himself O’Reilly. Glenn Beck has lost and I contend does not really believe in anything. His CPAC routine was terrible and it may have been the point where I began to see him for what he is and stated liking him less.

The Ron Paul/ Judge Napolitano brand of libertarianism is not conservative and in fact undermines Conservatives. Ron Paul at the 2008 Republican Debate seemed like a darn infiltrator and Beck now seems like a darn fool and a boring one at that. Libertarians are under-miners and not on the side conservatives. Beck is a flake that is for sure and both he and his shows are tiresome. Glenn Beck seems to lack the bite and credibility he once had. The Friday show is a complete waste . I am tired of history lessons from a guy that did not even go to college and uses a chalkboard in 2010. The act is idiotic, boring,and repetitive. I think we can safely say Glenn Beck is no Rush Limbaugh, he is not even Sean Hannity.

The Hindeberg Omen was on Drudge’s front page a few days ago. This is too funny.

“Quit griping like a child and stop watching if you don’t like it. But rants like this do nothing but divide those who love America. Or, is that your intention...?”

When Beck says we should not put the Republicans back in power - that's not dividing? You don't feel that is driving a wedge between his loyal followers leaning Libertarian, and his listeners who want to see the house flip back to GOP? Come on.

Surely the talking points spewing forth from the White Hut basement from David Axelgreasy are better written than this spittle you’ve shared with us. If one were to list the bullet points, you’ve mirrored what the progressives would want said about Beck, in an effort to turn people off from tuning in to become better educated regarding the enemy of a We The People Republic. I’m sure Jarret, et al would love for readers to swallow your flavor of koolaid.

>>The religious nonsense is utterly misplaced for political radio.<< The one thing that has made me nervous about him since day one is that he is Mormon. So you are offended by religion? Sounds PC to me and PC is "Progressive Control". We have gone WAY off base when people are offended by morals, values and religion... a religion of good. You can buy into that system, I won't...

What is tiresome and boring is this article. Sounds like it was written by a country club-type who probably despises the tea parties and Sarah Palin as well.

Beck also agreed with Obama on the Ground Zero Mosque, before Obama even said a word about it.

I don't have the exact GB quote, but a few weeks ago he was saying the 1st amendment is the reason the Mosque should go up. Now that Obama agrees with him, he seems to be slowly backing away from that original stance.

You forgot to mention his over-emotional crying schtick. And what is with his aversion to foreign policy? I am with you!

I was eating dinner in a bar in a small town near my cottage and this is in a very blue collar town, I listened to two booths discussing the national debt and how this is not what the founders wanted. They talked of limited government and how the people in Washington were out of touch. These people a year or two ago would have been bashing Bush and the evil Republicans. I credit Beck and his teaching for this change. I was floored and sat smiling.

I’m remembering something in the democrats playbook about misdirection as I read this post, something about infiltrating the media of your oponent and throwing criticism that seems to be coming from within but is really the act of your enemy from without. I think there was some czar in charge of this misdirection.

This whole comment seems bogus to me - completely disingenuous.

Translation:

"WAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! Glenn Bec doesn't say the things I want him to say. WAAAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!"

Here in the real world, at thinking person would not pin his hopes on any talk radio personality.

During his radio program today, Glenn admitted he felt a little stupid for not seeing the realities at the beginning. He learned that the Cordoba initiative was about the triuph of Islam in defeating Christians. He said—in effect—the current regime has hidden their agenda though the Bastard Boy did say five days before the election that ‘we are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.’ The bastard said it, but because of a fifth column media the people ahd no idea what that meant then. NOW we are finding out what the sonofabitchpig meant. Beck admits it when he realizes he too has been duped. Give him credit when it is due. Chastise him when he deserves it. I do. I lsiten and watch so that I can correct his bad directions when I see them.

I have learned more about history watching his show than I ever did in my pubic school

What prevented you from picking up a book and reading it? I find it amusing that adults, purportedly conservatives, actually admit that they've only learned about our nation's history because they tune in to Glenn Beck.
And I believe, though we can't be sure, that you attended a public school.

Those frustrated with Beck need to go and clone themselves to derive the perfect compatibility and head happiness they seek. Some could stand before the robed Lord Himself and complain that his hemline was uneven. The rest of us accept that Beck is admittedly AADD, and a non drinking alcoholic, who posesses all the charactoristic flaws associated with those conditions, both bedevilment and genius, and insane courage.

Beck recognizes evil when he sees it and is willing to lay out and discuss different predispositions for its cause, but none more certainly than driving home the singular point of a godless people reep godless government as they richly deserve. The Friday history is wonderful and is the basis for black Americans joining him to understand the balance between truth and fiction that we, and they, were all raised on in the star chamber of American public education. Beck is a threat to marxism, socialism and communism, and so what have you done lately?

You're falling down on the job ... it took you 54 posts to get in your usual Saudi/Fox jab. Has it still been a year since you watched TV? You gotta love the experts that don't watch that which they are constantly criticizing.

Go ahead, call me some names now ... no sense breaking your perfect record thus far. LOL!

Great work Glenn. You’ve done and continue to do yeoman’s work. You have my support.

Many of us know the whole history of what’s going on but many people don’t - Glenn is reaching out to those who don’t - please be patient.
