The bothers me to no end about Beck. When I listen to him I SCREAM AT THE TV ..TELL US HOW WE CAN STOP IT !!!

Then he says..do not be violent ... Be a better you... Restore honor...

Whatever

[cripplecreek]

Most of us are smart enough to know that violence from the right is exactly what Obama needs to do away with that pesky constitution.

Our nation’s founders spend decades avoiding a fight and the shooting didn’t start until the British fired the first shot. In the late 60s and early 70s the far left marginalized themselves because of their inability to control themselves and they’ll do it again.

Beck is full of beans. We already have demonstrations. Tidy ones. They’re call Tea Parties.

I know after 1 hour of Glen Beck, I am about ready to jump off the bridge. :) It is like what is the use.

To 5 - I watched his show for a bit one day last week. He was admonishing the viewer that this time he is "right" and anyone thinking him crazy can "go to Hell!".
Beck fancies himself a rapt student of history, yet I recall him stating how much he did not know about even US history and just recently learned. Not obscure events, but things most kids are taught in high school. He talks about Thomas Paine as if he, Beck, is the only living person in America who has heard about him.
Oh, and his gut, Beck has a "gut feeling" about things and that is supposed to be valid reason why his proclamations and warnings need to go unquestioned.

Feck Beck.

You remind me of a history lesson, cripplecreek. Prior to the American Revolution and the Shot Heard ‘Round The World, noting Lexington and Concord, there were numerous skirmishes in the South. Sometimes History has a way of brushing the South aside in the history books (and the Yankees are going to be after me now).

No it’s not. He is just explaining the situation as it is unfolding. As he says, don’t tke his word for it, research.

You can’t expect a thorough explaination of what is going on in a one hour show. That is why it takes a week block to explain in full what is going on.

Beck is having the same reaction that most people do when they start researching a problem. Anger, sadness, urgency, and finally the frustration of making everything he learns public.
I think the last year should give some indication what it’s like. The Tea Party has been under unrelenting attack by the self described “elites” of the Dummie Party. The Dummies are acting like Mubarak. Obamubarak doesn’t think anyonehas the right to question him. This next election should be interesting.

[plain talk]

One line is barry’s speech made my skin crawl. It was something about “people all over the world can now rise up against their government”.

What is scary is that sort of statement can have at least 3 meanings and will seem innocuous to many depending on how they interpret it.

1. Rise up and spread American style representative democracy throughout the world

2. Rise up and spread socialism and communism throughout the world

3. Rise up and spread sharia based islamic governments throughout the world

“When I listen to him I SCREAM AT THE TV ..TELL US HOW WE CAN STOP IT !!!”

I have a solution to your problem. Plain and simple. Turn off you TV and do your own homework. You don’t need Beck to tell you how to “STOP IT”.

[paulycy]

TELL US HOW WE CAN STOP IT !!!”

A large part of being able to stop it is having a very large number of people understanding the problem. Then the pressure of society will keep the bad guys at bay.

You can relax a little bit knowing that Glenn and other conservative talkers have that part of the process well in hand, and you can help them by spreading the word yourself. :0)

Not this one. I know there are a lot of little known pivotal events scattered throughout history that changed the course of America. I doubt most Kentuckyans realize than 9 counties in their state are named after men who died in a battle in Michigan during the war of 1812. (See tagline)

Hey Glenn, in case you forgot, the great unwashed were already there decades ago.

[cripplecreek]

He hasn’t forgotten. Many of those same people are stirring trouble around the globe today.

[who knows what evil?]

What is that Ezekiel 33 says about watchmen? If watching Beck upsets you (mostly women, I assume); don’t watch. It’s as easy as that.

[AZ .44 MAG]

Thank you.

Glenn Beck is a day late and a dollar short as usual... Explain further, please.

Tennessee Nana doesn't approve of Glenn because he is a Mormon (full disclosure would be nice). If course; that invalidates all the information he brings to the table (rolls eyes).

[bushinohio]

It's upsetting to see so many people turning on Glenn Beck. The media is trying like hell to marginalize him as a kook, and unfortunately a lot of people are buying into that. Same thing is happening to Sarah Palin as well. Maybe you don't like his theatrics, his drama, humor, etc., but he's still a hell of a lot closer to us than Obama, the media, or anyone on the left.

Many of them are in positions of power all throughout our government...
