Glenn Beck: I Hate Republicans, Too
Newsmax ^ | June 29, 2011 | Newsmax

Posted on 06/30/2011 7:10:00 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Glenn Beck is making it clear that he’s no partisan — he hates Republicans as much as he does Democrats, if not more.

In a tease for his new Web TV venture, GBTV, Beck said he dislikes members of the GOP immensely, according to Politico.

“I hate them. I think they are as much of a problem as the other side," Beck says in a new interview released just before his last show on Fox News.

In one video preview, Beck asks himself and Raj Nair, GBTV’s head correspondent, about what the average person thinks of his political leanings, and Nair agrees that the perception is that he is a Republican.

Not so, says Beck.

“I hate them. I think they are as much of a problem as the other side,” Beck says, walking alongside Nair on the streets of New York. He then invokes George Washington, saying Washington warned of the danger in political parties.

“If you speak out in today’s world, you’re either a Republican or Democrat. How about just being real?” he later says.

The one and same.

Actually I’m irritated that the GOP house isn’t keeping the democrats in session to deal with energy policy. A few years back when Pelosi was in control, gas was over $4 a gallon and she went on summer break.

I can’t stand ‘em either. I’m with Glenn.

I’ll say that there are a few good members of the GOP, obviously, but for the most part, they are part of the problem.

In fact, I think I’m pretty much at the point where I’m ready to say that government is the problem, and we would be better off without it, a lot better off.

If man has proven one thing it is that he is incapable of ruling other men, because he is corrupt, and he cannot be trusted with power.

A moral man can and should rule himself, and he should not allow himself to be ruled by immoral men, as we are now.

Every freedom you’ve enjoyed as a citizen of this country has been earned by our right to be armed. If you can’t figure out what is going on in this country with respect to your loss of freedom, you aren’t paying attention.

Dunno. All I know is he could not handle all the awareness he was exposed to in a short period of time. In my opinion he seems to think he has to be responsible for educating the unaware. He is overloading their fuses and they are confused. He thinks it is a conspiracy.

I am very well armed. What I’m saying is Beck preaches non violence so I wonder who he thinks we’re going to use our guns against? I’m wondering what BECK thinks.

Glenn is on record as saying that the food stores you set aside for your family should be protected with force if necessary. Please, try not to paint Glenn as some namby pamby wimp just because media whoredom does it. If you had watched Glenn’s show for a more than one or two episodes, you would have seen a show where he talked about taking shooting lessons and learning to handle firearms, for protecting his family. We all ought to do that little bit at least!

The Democrats suck. Republicans suck a little less.

Again, exactly who will I defend my family against? I have my own beliefs as to who it will be. But who does Beck believe it will be? Will it be government troops? Or will it be hungry hordes?

I’ve got a thousand rounds. When I shoot those coming after my “stuff” what do I do with the bodies? When I’ve killed 999 people do I use the last round on myself? I’m being serious.

Will always vote for the most conservative in the primaries and the republican in the general.

No, if you were being serious you would not have claimed you could shoot 999 dead with 1000 rounds.BUT if you were being serious, I would tell you to make contact with neighbors and friends who see the coming troubles also, and plan to pool your efforts for the survival of good people over slugs who intend to live off of the work of those who have prepared for difficult times. I’m prepared to arm my best neighbors and family members. In Glenn’s case, he is moving his fzmily to a much friendlier region (Texas) where he will be among like minds.

Leave the bodies on the perimeter as a warning to others. Shouldn’t need so much ammo....

I’ve got the advantage of living in a tiny town where most people seem to keep a fair amount of food on hand so we don’t have to worry about the neighbors much.

Actually I do think Glenn tends to underestimate the goodness of flyover country Americans. Media people tend to live in large metropolitan areas and it makes them kind of clueless about the generosity and strength of rural and small town people.

This kind of crap drives me nuts.

Here we are in a life and death struggle with the left. All democrats are hard leftist, America hating idiots who will destroy this country in a heartbeat. Moreover, the only party that has genuine conservatives in it is the Republican party. So how about we applaud that and expand the amount of conservatives in it?

There.
Is.
No.
Other.

Period.

Glenn needs to go screw himself for this kind of commentary, it doesn't help to make the two parties seem equal in their leftist proclivities.

Reagan would never have done this. No self respecting conservative would agree with him when he does this crazy sh*t.
