Glenn Beck: Sarah Palin damaged her brand
Politico ^ | April12, 2011 | Andy Barr

Posted on 04/12/2011 10:19:48 AM PDT by FreeManDC

Glenn Beck doesn’t see Sarah Palin running for president and said she has done some damage to her political brand.

Beck, a constant Palin cheerleader, said flatly on his radio show Monday, “Sarah Palin, I don’t think, wants to run for president.”

The outgoing Fox News personality has hosted Palin on his show several times – once for a full hour – and she has frequently lavished praise on him.

Still, even with all that good will, Beck was frank in assessing what Palin has done to hurt her own political stock – even though he credited her with surviving tough media coverage.

“There are some things about Sarah Palin,” he said, going on to suggest Palin made a mistake by selling her personal story in her first book after leaving the governor’s office, rather than demonstrating some policy credentials.

“She should have come out with that first book, and it should have been deep policy,” he said. “It should have shown that, yes, she knows where Russia is.”

“She didn’t help herself by doing some things to shore herself up,” Beck added.

Still, Beck predicted that Palin “wants to shape the debate,” though he sees her role as outside elective politics.

“I personally think she is on a smart path for the future to be able to hold people together,” Beck said. “It’s ideals that I think she is going for.”

Beck today put down Donald Trump proving
Beck has the intelligence of a retarded monkey.

His comments on Gov. Palin confirm that.

“Sarah Palin, I don’t think, wants to run for president.”

Maybe she doesn’t want to own what’s coming.

Beck is wrong on this, or Palin is stupid. One or the other. Palin on the sidelines in this fight is to fall into oblivion. The folks who want her to step up will be thinking Fred Thompson. Is he a big time power broker? No. In fact, he has more or less passed from the scene. Palin would as well, but she seems to be playing the same game as Thompson and this has her supporters very concerned.

For now, Fox is putting pressure on her to say in or out. And, with Beck's departure, Palin will find Fox increasingly hostile as they fade away from being a center right news source.

Ugh.....I really like Glenn, but I have always thought he needs to stop trying "not to be on either side", I hear him sometimes say "X Y or Z happens because because both the Left and Right do it" I say WRONG GLENN, when Republicans do something stupid, spend too much Et Al, it is because they are acting like DEMOCRATS!!!!!

Sadly I believe he has joined the chorus of people who only talk about Romney, Trump, Huckabee, but always for get about our only True Hope in the Field, Sarah.

Oh Glenn, here is some advice for you when it comes to Sarah. http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/27534_105449802830377_9915_n.jpg

Glenn Beck is long on facts and short on delivery.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is long on personality, integrity and message; and short on spite, malice and arrogance.

What this country needs is new rules in the House and Senate to allow them only certain laws they can create and allow the states to make their own for the rest.
Federal Gov is way to big anyway and only way this country rights its self is to make States the driving of policy.

“It should have shown that, yes, she knows where Russia is.”

Beck sounds bitter or he has fallen off the deep end

I have been a big Beck supporter. No Longer. I canceled my insider extreme subscription this morning. His ridicule of Trump on the birther issue and his Mocking and ridicule of Trumps faith this morning was that proverbial straw. Bye Glenn, we used to be friends, but now I must move along

I think that law is called the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution.

Just like every law that’s inconvenient, it is ignored. And that’s how we’ve gotten where we’re at as a nation right now.

True, true on the circular firing firing squad. Politico cherry-picks a few quotes out of what was surely a long interview and predictably gets our dogs snarling at each other. We need to remember who the real enemy is.
