Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?

Time ^ | 09/17/2009 | David Von Drehle

[GoldStandard]

On Sept. 12, a large crowd gathered in Washington to protest ... what? The goals of Congress and the Obama Administration, mainly — the cost, the scale, the perceived leftist intent. The crowd's agenda was wide-ranging, so it's hard to be more specific. "End the Fed," a sign read. A schoolboy's placard denounced "Obama's Nazi Youth Militia." Another poster declared, "We the People for Capitalism Not Socialism." If you get your information from liberal sources, the crowd numbered about 70,000, many of them greedy racists. If you get your information from conservative sources, the crowd was hundreds of thousands strong, perhaps as many as a million, and the tenor was peaceful and patriotic. Either way, you may not be inclined to believe what we say about numbers, according to a recent poll that found record-low levels of public trust of the mainstream media.

At any rate, what we can say with confidence is that Deanna Frankowski was there. A cheery woman of 49 from Leeds, Ala., Frankowski said she had come to Washington as part of a group of 100 or more protesters. They filled two buses. And they were motivated by a concern about runaway government spending — that, plus an outraged feeling that their views as citizens are not being heard. "We are sick and tired of being ignored," she said. "There is too much money being spent."

Only for those that want to destroy her.

God speed Glenn Beck!

[mainepatsfan]

Wasn’t that the exact same title to a story they ran years ago about Rush?

[wombtotomb]

bad for LIBERAL america, yup. Bad for America? Not on your life!

[Psycho_Bunny]

#@%& you, Time.

[dforest]

Another Time screed.

*yawn*

[RC2]

Yes....Glenn is Mad.....he’s mad as hell at the direction our country is heading and he is the only one in the media that is coming out with facts for us to consider. All he does is lay out the facts as to how our country is being controlled. It’s up to everyone else to figure out what they want to do about it.

Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?

Depends on what your definition of America is.

[Frantzie]

Time magazine! LOL! What a joke. They put Obama on the cover every other week. Zero credibility.

[cripplecreek]

Beck seems to be pretty effective at getting people to pay attention which leads to results.

[SteamShovel]

Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?

Have they asked the same question about Obama?

[Unam Sanctam]

I seem to recall Woodward and Bernstein being lionized in my youth for hard-hitting investigating of the President. I guess now that the Messiah is in office, the only legitimate role for journalists is propagandize on behalf of their beloved leader.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Typical Time hit piece - anyone disturbed by this administration is paranoid. Glenn Beck the heavy. Too bad they don’t apply this same wisdom to bammy and his Black Caucus brown shirts. Did Time break the ACORN story - or did I miss something. Nothing worse than a news source scorned. You would think the business types at Time would see an opportunity to gain readership after watching the August townhall dust ups and the 9/12 march. These are people looking for a media vehicle. I guess Time would prefer bankruptcy as a true socialist than success as a capitalist.

[Jeff Head]

Van Jones was and is bad for American...Glenn Beck brought him down.

ACORN is bad for American...Glenn Beck is bringing that down (thank God!).

I expect the list is going to get significantly longer.

...and that is GOOD for America.

And, BTW, the numbers at the 912 event in Washington DC speak for themselves. Anyone looking at the photos knows that there were at least hundreds of thosuands, and probably a million or more...and that too, was good for America.

[Tarpon]

Is Obama good for America?

We can all play the liberals crazy loon game.

Hey how about is the known anti-Semite Carter good for America?

[l8pilot]

If I am home at 1700 hrs., Glenn Beck is on the TV. He is the only news commentator that speaks my mind.

[AuntB]

This morning on the CBS morning show, Maggie Rodriguez just could not discuss any of this without playing the race card. She insisted the poster with Obama looking like the joker was racist...because it was ‘white face’. According to these media pukes we are ALL racists, they can distort anything!

[Howie]

The libs hounded Nixon right out of office. Maybe he deserved it but I would bet my last nickel they would have given a Democrat a pass on much of what he was accused of.

I wasn’t really aware of politics in those days but I will never forget how the news day after day was filled with the drumbeat until he finally made the famous “goodbye” speech

[Hildy]

Dear Mr. Von Drehle,

Glenn Beck is bad for YOUR America.

Sincerely,
Hildy

[skully]

Glen Beck is not bad for America; he's bad for the USSA!!

[Drill Thrawl]

Is “Time” bad for America?

[American Constitutionalist]

Is Glenn Beck Bad for the Communist of Amerika?

Yes, and heck yeah !!


WE THE PEOPLE HEAR US ROAR !!!!

CAN YOU HEAR US NOW !!!!

[MortMan]

They may ask the question regarding Beck, but they are afreaid to ask about Obama!!!

[Red in Blue PA]

Did Time ever ask this same question of Obama with his questionable past?????

[celtic gal]

No he is not and neither is Rush or Hannity. They all talk about some of the same threats and Beck has been busy tying all he knots together about all of 0bama’s hacks..if only the sheepeople would wake up!

[Jeff Head]

Hehehe...

LIAR, LIAR, YOUR PLANS ARE ON FIRE

[cripplecreek]

Can you imagine how the media would have behaved if Nixon assumed an unconstitutional position at the head of the UN security council?

Obama did it today without a peep of protest from the media.

[Carley]

Listening to Beck now. Playing the video of the One speaking to the union workers.

The chanting is reminiscent of the Sig Heil chant with Hitler.

Terrifying is an understatement.

[pietraynor]

If Time, the magazine only found in Doctor's and Dentist's offices now, is against Glen Beck, then he must be doing something right. Time is so irrelevant it is laughable they are still in business.

[AuntB]

I guess we ‘conservatives’ are dumber than posts, I NEVER looked at that as being ‘racist’....disrespectful, perhaps, calling the CIC a joker, but then the truth hurts.

I keep asking these libs, just WHAT can we criticize this man about? I haven’t gotten an answer yet!

[American Constitutionalist]

" the news day after day was filled with the drumbeat "

That's a very good idea for the CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW protest of the main fringe media ...
Bring those base drums and make a constant drumbeat with people yelling " CAN YOU HEAR US NOW !! " ........

[J40000]

Glenn CONSTANTLY says: “CONVINCE ME THAT I’M WRONG ABOUT THIS STUFF!!!”

He gets NO answers from the left, other than the long-distance ‘he’s a nut!’ insults.

-Which says; He’s telling the truth.

The Truth is GOOD for America.

Therefore: Yes, Glenn Beck is GOOD for America.

[Paladin2]

I saw and tried to read a TIME magazine a few weeks back. Not much in there including ads. It seemed about 1/10 of it’s size of 30 years ago. Their business plan must be to slowly go out of business over the next 10 years.

[ETL]

Communism is bad for America.

The magic 8-ball says:

[dfwgator]

So now they’re asking if someone’s speech is bad for America.

Once people start asking those questions, it’s not a long step to tyranny.

[shiva]

Wasn’t that the exact same title to a story they ran years ago about Rush?

The one I remember was in March, 2008: "Rush Limbaugh Is 'Un-American"

[Names Ash Housewares]

Let’s see, helped get rid of Commie Van Jones, exposing ACORN as a corrupt left wing front. YEP, GOOD FOR AMERICA!

[N. Theknow]

TIME magazine = The bulge in their cheek is not a piece of candy.

[Kickass Conservative]

Can Glenn Beck raise your taxes?
Can Glenn Beck destroy the entire Health Care System?
Can Glenn Beck steal money from one Citizen to give to another Citizen or to an Illegal Alien?
Can Glenn Beck proclaim what car you can drive?
Can Glenn Beck increase your Utility Bills because he believes in some fairy tale about Man Made Global Warming?
Can Glenn Beck surrender to our enemies?

Yeah, he is really bad for America. Geez...

[Carley]

Nope, Nixon didn’t deserve it.

[Navy Patriot]

Slime magazine?

I wouldn't even touch it in a hazmat suit.

[American Constitutionalist]

I'd say that Time magizine is paranoid of Glenn Beck.. the numbers are the proof in the pudding

Did you hear the bootcamp chant ? CHILLING !!

[Carley]

Heard it and continue to be shocked by the ignorance of the O voters.
