Well so far no one has debunked Beck's questioning of our government.
Oh by the way Beck's radio show is the third most listen to in the country, let's see who could be #1 and #2. His cable show blows all of tv and cable shows in that time slot and whole networks for that matter. O'Reilly is the only show that out paces him. There must be a lot of insane and nutty wackos out there. - Re: Glen Beck

Here's a good one, when Beck said "President Obama has a deep seeded hatred towards white people." Now that's classic.
I'll bet Beck didn't mention once on his program about Republican John Boehner standing at the podium telling the crowd how he respects and loves the Constitution. Boehner even went on to recited several lines of what he thought was the Constitution however, it was the Declaration of Independence.
Had a Democrat done that Beck, Rush, and Hannity would have had a field day. - Re: Glen Beck

Glenn Beck is "DEAD AZZ" wrong in what he's saying and is wrong on 99.999% of everything he says. Were it not for Rupert Murdoch and his hatred of everyone that's a Democrat, Glenn Beck would not be on television or radio. This guy is so far to the right that even Republicans don't agree with him. Most agree that his views are mainly centered on hate for the president and other democrats than for the love of his country. Most, that is, except for a few policemen in St. Louis. - Re: Glen Beck

Beck has predicted alot of what is happening today. He is a student of history. When you know your history you are less likely to repeat it. Why cant you libs figure that out? I find that when talking to libs, most have no clue what they are talking about. And many still fall back on the " It is all Bush's fault" Get a new line. Obama has record spending, sending this country into the biggest debt we have ever seen. (all in first year in office by the way) The liberal controlled congress, may as well be communist controlled, is out of control. Taxes will rise, the dollar will hit rock bottom. Beck is soooo right on so many things it is not even funny. - Re: Glen Beck

Ok, so "99.999%" of every thing he says is a lie, or, "You can easily tell Beck is lying. His lips are moving". If it is that regular, surely you can give me at least 20 examples since he has been on radio/tv so long.

Posted by KB on 11/6/2009, 11:19 am, in reply to "Re: Glen Beck"
I think generating controversy and shining a light on problems is great. That is part of the job of a journalist. But it needs to be factual and not dreamed up at a producer's meeting where revenue is the prime consideration.
How about when he stated Obama was a racist that hated whites? Do YOU believe that to be the case?
He also said that the H1N1 vaccine may be deadly. He had no evidence. It was like saying that aspirin may kill you. Where's the proof? Just more fear mongering.
Recently Glenn Beck said a television industry effort to promote volunteerism and service is somehow part of a communist plot by the Obama administration to stamp out capitalism and The American Way of Life. Didn't a former president promote a program that mentioned 50,000 points of light? A reference to people helping folks in their own community.
How about when he said Health Care reform was a form of reparations? Yeah tell that to the 77% of Americans that favor Health Care reform. They may not want a fully socialized version, but they want, and I think most of us agree, a better, more equitable and patient friendly overhaul.
I'd wager that Beck likes Obama, but knows damn well he can get more viewers by appealing to the hatred of those with the "Plantation Mentality".
I vote for the candidate. not the party and I consider myself a fundamental Libertarian. To have a pot-head drunk like Beck come out and speak for me is an insult to all free thinkers.
His agenda is merely to agitate and draw viewers, and thus increase his income. He is no different from the Obermans, Maddows, Limbaughs and other assorted clowns that cloud public information with falsehoods and innuendo.
Sadly the source from which Americans get their information has devolved to actors reading crap intended to attract a narrow band of viewer. - Re: Glen Beck
Posted by Maybe . . . on 11/6/2009, 8:02 pm, in reply to "Re: Glen Beck"
You might - no, make that should - view anything attributed to someone else with a great deal of skepticism unless you have factual information on which to rely. I seriously doubt that Beck said what you attribute to him. I can't prove it without expending a great deal of time researching it and I'm not going to do that. I do know that following accusations about the racist and demeaning remarks attributed to Rush Limbaugh (by no less then Wikipedia) in his foray into purchase of the Rams, it was proven that those "quotes" were false. There were many, many links on the internet giving those bogus quotes (so don't come back with web links - they aren't reliable). And, there were no apologies from those who maligned him with those accusations when they were proved false. Most responses were typical of the Post Dispatch's Bryan Burwell, (paraphrased) "well it's believable as something he could have said."
I have good reason to believe you've gotten your information from some left wing websites as your assertion that "77% of the people favor health reform" comes directly from a flawed poll promoted on the Huffington Post. And to that I can legitimately say, B.S. Pick your poll. Most reputable polls show that a significant majority of voters do NOT favor the bills currently being presented in either house of congress - but you're welcome to call me a liar as well.
If you've watched any of Beck the past few weeks - and I'm sure you haven't - I can guarantee that he never came close to saying anything you attributed to him in those broadcasts. He is ONLY presenting facts (unless of course you don't want to believe the video and audio clips he's showing) and asking questions. He asks that you draw your own conclusions - not accept any of his. Personal attacks calling him a drunk pot-head certainly don't answer the questions nor repute what he is presenting. It also betrays your ideology. If you truly think you're a Libertarian, then you don't know how that is defined.
Beck is marshaling facts and posing questions. If you can prove his assertions wrong (as opposed to calling him names) do so. You might want to be a true Libertarian and think seriously about what the answers are to the questions he poses.
This really isn't the board to discuss politics and I've already wasted time presenting a cogent argument to those indoctrinated by political ideologies. Make your own decisions on what's true and what's a lie but personal attacks and regurgitation of propaganda is not a way to win others to your cause.

I have seen the video tapes of him calling Obama a racist and that he hates people. Conservative and ex-Republican Congressman Scarborough has had them on his show, and even had Pat Buchanan comment about them. If you'd take your head out of FOX's ass you would see them too. I'm NOT even close to being an Obama fan, but comments like Beck's show that his agenda is to lure viewers with his insanity.
The drones that watch his show have no other source for news. They are quite similar to the fans of the late night show on KTRS about ghosts and aliens. Art Bell and now George Noory make a fine living by pandering to idiots and morons.
You are likely reading the health care polls I mentioned to insinuate I said 70% the current plan as it stands which of course is subject to change. Health care reform is desired by over 70% of the country and I bet you want it too. Health care reform means a thorough examination of the current system while seeking ways to improve it. To the ultra-libs it means free care for everyone. For the moderates and conservatives it means keeping lids on prices and finding fraud and abuse.
Stop trying to put words in my mouth. I hate Oberman as much as Beck. If you can't present the truth on the air without adding your subjective opinion, you are an entertainer and should sit on a stage like Leno and the other comedians that dispense humor. - Re: Glen Beck
Posted by Seriously . . . . on 11/7/2009, 7:09 am, in reply to "Re: Glen Beck"
"I call" has it exactly right. Since your rant was directed at me though, I'll add just this: You seriously missed my point. We can debate about polls and how many Americans support this or support that. It's completely missing the point. Just as you seriously missed my point. Labeling people and calling them names because you disagree with them or don't like the questions they ask is an illegitimate tactic used by those who can't support their position any other way. Even if you INTERPRET what Beck is saying as racist (I'm still not buying that), it doesn't discredit the facts he presents and does not answer the questions he poses. I no longer believe any politician and look at what is actually happening, not at what I'm being told. The glaring example pulled out of several news reports: "The recession is over and Obama is touting the success of the stimulus" - while another 190,000 jobs are lost and unemployment rises to 10.2%. Seems to be a LOT of questions there about the veracity of the first two. That's what Beck has been doing the past month. Not telling you what to think, but asking questions - and you, and those like you, either don't know or want to know the answers. Trying to discredit that by attempting to label him as a racist, drunken pot smoking liar does not change the facts he presents or answer the questions he raises.
You can go back to pretending you are a libertarian and calling other people liars. I'm done. - Re: Glen Beck
Posted by I call on 11/7/2009, 12:12 am, in reply to "Re: Glen Beck"
bull S*#t on you friend. If you are not able to separate opinion and supposition from reporting, that is a problem that some ammount of education may help you with.
You are a democrat. You can pretend not to be, but you are. Obviously Beck needs to entertain and sell the show, they all do (not PBS of course, I pay for that crap). Offering an opinion is not lying. Reporting something as fact when it may not be, or isn't, is at the very least sloppy, and at worst, lying.
Again, if you can't tell the difference, your problem. At least with Beck, he tells you he is a commentator. Mr. "I get a tingly sensation when Obama talks" pretends to be a reporter and is not.
You are suggesting that any conservative commentator is a liar for offering an opinion? You have not yet provided 20 or so examples of actual, verifiable, lies in reporting.
If, as you say, me or the others here have our heads up FOX's ass, is that a lie or an opinion from you? I bet you would say opinion. Ever heard of an editorial?
If I call you a person who thinks a democrat like dooley is the shit, is that a fact?
or an opinion?
You are obviously an Obama fan.
Remember, "99.999 percent" of everything Beck says is a lie. Right? I think you have a way to go. Hell, I think you havn't started yet.
Who the hell are Art Bell and George Noory? If they are examples of what is bad, how do you know who they are. Seriously, who are they? - Re: Glen Beck

Too many idiots like you resort to that tactic. "If you disagree with me than you must be a Democrat, or you must be a Republican." It makes you look foolish and your assumption couldn't be further from the truth. I voted in Reagan and 2 Bushes.
The really sad thing is that far too many TV viewers cannot distinguish between fact and fiction. They listen to a Beck or an Oberman and they form their opinion of the day's news based upon what they want to believe. They are mentally crippled and suffer from a scotoma that only lets them see and hear what they want to hear.
I could continue this post with comments on Maddow, Ed Paul, and other libs, but the topic is Beck. He is currently the laughing stock of cable. Yes, he is making a fortune doing it. He found out that being a DJ didn't pay the bills.
I follow news from several sources and use the distilled sum of the material to form judgments. Yeah Beck make ask some good questions, but the insanity of his comments preclude any respect and honesty for his opinion.
