IMO Glenn Beck has me hooked.

I am pretty good at sensing people and my senses say he is an honest guy and he is good at bringing people together. Glenn being on "we the peoples side" is good for us because he has the use of outlets that when needed by the people for the people can be tapped.

From what I OBSERVE American people need to be pricked pretty hard before they come out of there comfort zone to stand up. I think many always leave this stuff to other people to do there dirty work after all getting involved is.............................

This is the time we all stand together for one another.

as far as 9-11 goes, we're pretty close in opinion.

really? There isnt anything I can say to that. The ONLY people who Ive met who have done research into 911 and still believe the Commission report are those that are keeping their eyes closed as tight as possible because they like the dream and don't want to wake up..... "it just aint Amurikan to think that way. Its unpatriotic.... pass me my Big Mac and Big Gulp honey ... "

staying on Beck ... please folks ... realize that ... "sometimes Satan ...you know he come as a man of peace....."

Glenn beck outright LIED on his radio show yesterday about his position on FEMA Camps and what he said originally .... is that not enough to convince you that he is, at the very least, totally insincere... ?

If I had the time I would do a youtube of JUST those fake sobs that he breaks out when talking about .... *sniff* HOW MUCH HE LOVES THIS DANG COUNTRY *sniff* and where its headed under this doggone socialist Obama admin. ..... wow what a great patriot .. now here's OReilly!

by the way ... that was a great quote about the fire extinguisher and not breaking the glass.... whoever posted

good luck folks

Ok, so he's not a journalist. I'm not shocked...I've known FOX was not to be considered Journalism in 2002, when I first watched it, and they used Destiny's Child's "I'm a survivor" as the background music for a family stuck on a boat...that was my "a-ha" moment...

My problem is: why/how can they call themselves "news" then?

CNN...different market niche.
MSNBC...same deal.
.
.
.
NPR...now that's news. Really fair and balanced...I hear opinions from both sides and I have yet to hear "Some people would say..." and "There are those who think..." and injections of opinion by the journalist asking the questions....OOOOOHHHHH...and NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!

Journalists can have opinions, and I'm quite sure it would be impossible to find one with NO bias whatsoever, but when you get intellectuals who are able to be totally truthful and not try to lead on people because they believe the truth comes out through rationale and not appearances...that is what we call news. News should neither be owned by the state nor owned by private companies. News should be provided by the community for the community.

And G-damn it, no more advertising!!!!
...I don't want situations where the chances of a story about Monsanto tainted milk or cancer-causing round-up or a piece about Walmart's unfair labor practices actually hitting the airwaves to be inversely proportionate to the amount of advertising dollars that Walmart or Monsanto spend at said news agency. That is not fair or balanced

I thought his performance came from a good place, but was Paltrow-esque in form...

Also, he missed (conveniently overlooked) 1) his past "trust me on this, guys, trust me" comments, which are available on youtube by the way and 2) the fact that his "I'm not telling you what to think" shpeel, though very debatable, would in the minds of any watchers who COULD be duped, align "truthfulness" with FOX network/news....and THAT, is the dangerous part.

Now he is seemingly 'absolved' he could very well go back to his old ways and say "well, at least I did all that speech, remember? ...so I can't POSSIBLY be corrupt, can I?!"

Propoganda - on form and in it's most exquisite form.

Also I notice how he can't defend himself without elaborately attacking his critics....

Cheap. Very cheap.

I think big Brother is getting uneasy. Fed telling police to keep an eye out for independents and local political groups....its starting to feel like "V" for Vendetta.

Sad how our media is so manipulative. I just want facts and i can make my own opinion. I dont think he understands there are alot of unstable minds in the US supported by anti depressants and all sorts of medications....Hes reaching those people too and thats scary cuz they dont think with a broad perspective.
Me on the other hand I see our country being destroyed in my early 20's and Im curious so see what the next 20 years has to bring....or take. We need our Young Adults to show these stupid ass baby boomers what values before they ruin the next 4 generations of Americans

He reads from a TelePrompTer.

Does anyone ever consider how much criticism he would get if he outright said he believed 911 was an inside job or FEMA camps were real. He would be seen as a conspiracy theorist and mentally unstable and probably lose his job. Has anyone in MSM even said they questioned the official 9-11 story?

Instead he tends to focus on the economic collapse which is happening right now, with plenty of evidence for potential outcomes, and look how much criticism he gets for it! I mean they are criticizing him now for his beliefs and opinions which in fact are related closely to those of our founding fathers.

I don't agree with him on everything but I do respect what he has to say and there aren't many other MSM people saying what he is. He might be acting a little bit but I mostly think its authentic.

We need someone with the intestinal communication fortitude of Michael Savage, and the honest Constitutional focus and desire of Ron Paul, with the distrust of the Federal Government/NWO of Alex Jones and the entertainment capacity of Glen Beck.... And maybe the gender attractiveness of Sarah Palin....

It's not a case of what Beck believes or who he sides with.

Its ALL about marketing. If you want to sell Coca Cola - do you pitch your advertisements at the elderly or the young? Who is more likely to go to the store and buy a Coke?

Its the marketing departments job to find the "star" and the "scene" in order to hook you into watching their programs. Whether Beck REALLY believes what he's saying or not, they've found the "star" to bring THEM (the network) your viewing time = MONEY!

Everyone thinks this is a conspiracy of sorts "why are they allowing Beck to say these things?" ....

Umm maybe because it brings the network huge sums of revenue?

Take it back some. Remember Madonna? How she masterfully created controversy time and time again? and that resulted in what? SALES!
It doesn't matter what the content is, as long as it creates controversy AND threads like this, getting people talking, the network keeps paying Becks wages.

Its not a conspiracy. Beck is not part of some secret agenda. Its good'ol fashioned marketing techniques creating a WOW factor to grab your attention.
The country is in crisis, politicians lie, people want answers and the network marketing division delivers the goods.

Reality entertainment folks.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth... that was very difficult to watch... If you can't see through his BS, I'm afraid there's no hope for you.

Glen Beck has only been on tv for a couple of years but I'm sure many of you remember his radio show. He has always been conservative BUT his views have been changing, as have alot of ours.

Beck is not and will never agree with the liberals but acts like the GOP is out of touch with many of the non neo-con slightly conservative types like myself.

Right now - Glen beck is the best voice the country has for any third party to evolve. Yes - he can be silly and mutters under his breath BUT he speaks from his heart and his message is legit. He'll point fingers regardless of party or network.

I don't expect everyone to AGREE with Beck - but I don't doubt the sincerity of his message.

Of course we cant agree with everything the right has to say,however, i think its very obvious the current administration has done nothing good. They have closed meetings,which is against civil codes of our country. The message seems simple,its not about left or right,its about the founding principals that our country was founded on. This has been the biggest thing that most don't seem to understand. All you have to do is open your ears and eyes. Our leaders have their own agendas,and they don't speak for me,you or our constitution. They are robing us blind and we continue to sit back and do nothing,why? I believe its called dumbing up. They keep getting us use to a little more b.s. every day,until the big b.s. seems not so bad anymore,and we have gotten use to it,so it seems exceptable now,so we just bend over and take it like a good dumb dumb.
