I will stand with Beck any time.
The reason there may be division among conservatives about Beck is for some of the things he has done recently:
1. His bashing of the Birthers....referring to them as “idiots” and assorted other names. Interesting that someone who will show the ACORN videos, but will enable Obama on the BC issue? That should raise questions among conservatives....is Beck really legit? Why is he abetting and aiding Obama on the BC issue....when he shows all the ACORN videos, refers to Obama as a “Commie”, etc...?
2. Claiming Bill O’Reilly as his “friend”...like he did on a show last week. Of all the people on Fox News he got close to...Bill O’Reilly!? Something is not kosher here...
3. Fox has pretty much told Beck what he can report...and what he cannot. That is obvious. Since few people watched his CNN/HLN show....he actually had more flexibility on that show than he does with Fox. In fact, Beck has not dealt with the North American Union issue (which Obama is re-instiuting) while at Fox...when he did so at HLN. Of course, people who think Fox is “conservative”...are not really conservative in the first place.
Exactly how does that make him a hypocrite, Man?
And do you have a source establishing that he ridiculed those folks? When? In what way?
The left would like nothing better than to divide the right by creating a battle between the deliverers of the message.
Is Beck any more of a self promoter than Rush or Hannity, or Mark Levin? I say thank God they are. They are capitalists succeeding by doing what they do the best. Each is very different and each is effective.
Would we listen to The Beltway Boys every day on the radio? Would we watch them every day at 5pm?
I think Rush and Levin are worried that Beck is trying to promote a 3rd party. I believe Beck does this as a FOX fair & balanced personality. And... lets face it, the biggest fear of mine, and probably his, is that the GOP will continue pushing RINOs at us. Since they have been pushing RINOs we have been losing. If that does not change, there will be a 3rd party.
Way I see it. The ball is in the GOP camp. They can formulate a winning strategy or keep on losing.
It is up to them.
Levin, unfortunately, doesn't see room for others (except Rush and Hannity) on the Mountain. He has only moved primary animosity from "Weiner Nation" to Beck. To the extent that any of the so-called "backbenchers" develop, or assist in bringing to wide attention, information that may lead to the downfall of the hated "statists" it would be more helpful of Levin would just say, "Amen."
ML/NJ
It will only make him stronger!!!
There is no *requirement of proof* in the USCon, read and attempt comprehension again.
I personally witnessed him on his show approximately two months ago refer to those demanding BO abide by the Constitution as “birther idiots”.
And I heard and saw that, too. Beck has referred to Birthers as “idiots”
And, his “Bill O’Reilly is my friend”. The same BOR who refers to FR as “right wing extremists”
I think the biggest problem with Beck is that he sold out to Murdoch and Fox. Something I did not see on his HLN show
He said he'd "have the president on", followed by his usual disclaimer, I don't recall if the specific words were "sort of" but it was something like -- Glenn's typical manner, personality. I don't know what he's planning, his presentation.
” I agree and I like Beck, Rush, Levin, even Boortz and Sean and all for different reasons. The one who has fallen OFF my list is BOR and I need to find something else to watch at 7.”
Like your list. Add Ingraham, Coulter, Church, Wilkow, onto that team.
They all bring their perspective.
Glenn to me is the one who puts it on the line. He’s great at diagramming what’s happening, and then pushing the point with simple examples.
That’s what get’s people attention/buy in versus a one day coverage.
Agree on BOR. Last night he tried to take credit for pulling down Acorn along with Beck.......
He is growing old with his “ what say you” and if it’s not about him he quickly dismisses his guests on either side of the aisle.
Remember, he’s the one who actually interviewed Barry, and was “shucked and jived” .....
Prime example last nights snippet where Barry committed to keeping the missle defense system.
If you join teis article to the on why Sunstien (sp?) thinks that courts are no longer necessary, that we should just let Obama decide everything, this becomes very scary. We have never needed some one like Beck more than we do now!!! Thank God we at least have a few fearless voices of dissent.
??? Must have missed that.
That may be true, but I also heard him say on a fairly recent show that he was beginning to think the “birthers” just might be on to something. This was in response to a question about why Obama’s student records are all sealed. Glenn may be many things, but I believe he is on a personal mission to turn this Country around, not one directed by Fox or Rupert Murdoch.
Boy, I really suck at typing! sorry for all the typos.
” He said he’d “have the president on”, followed by his usual disclaimer, I don’t recall if the specific words were “sort of” but it was something like — Glenn’s typical manner, personality. I don’t know what he’s planning, his presentation. “
Will probably do a segment like his self interview , substituting clips of Barry showing contradictions to his questions.
If anyone issue outweighs any others, it’s an issue that goes directly to the Constitutional requirements to become President. Having a usurper in office renders all other matters trivial by comparison. Calling people “birther idiots” because they demand someone who is seeking the office of President of The United States is also fatuous
Even if Beck did not want to cover the issue....that would not have bothered me. But to smite and blast those who raise the Birth issue....Beck has just adopted the same Alinsky-like tactics that the left uses on him
Breitbart provided Glenn with the penultimate Van Jones videos, the ACORN tapes ... he listens to the radio show and watches the TV show avidly, his investigative work to ferret out that it indeed was Walters and Goldberg who were the liars in that idiotic charge they laid on Glenn one example to demonstrate. I don't know for fact that he didn't give the videos to Rush as well, only that he did provide them to Glenn.
IMO, Hannity jumped into this Acorn video issue when he saw how well Beck was doing. Bottom line is ratings. One time last week Beck said Hannity would have a video on his show. He then looked at the camera and said something about being a TEAM. Hannity is all about self promotion first. I am very sorry TGO has jumped in and put down Glen. We should all be working together, possibly each one on different points and go at the admin. that way. JMO
Sounds reasonable, considering all the contradictory stuff 0bama has said and done, the latest, the deceit on the cost of crap'n fraud.
