I have never had an issue with Glenn Beck and am usually confused why others do. I understand that he comes off a bit loony at times, but I think most of this is because he speaks what he thinks. In that respect, I believe he is much like those of us here on ATS.

He doesn't come off as someone looking to get something back for stating his views...if nothing else, he appears willing to wear a negative label in spite of his views. I would back him, and listen to him for the same reasons. The biggest one being, even when I think he is wrong or off base, I believe he is speaking his true opinion. I would much rather deal with an individual whose views I must validate before taking at face value, than one I know for a fact has an agenda. The devil you know is a devil, is better than a devil in disguise.

The fear to speak or voice ones opinion due to the fear of being labeled (anarchist, racist, anti-government, anti-thing-of-the-day, etc.) is part of the war against free speech. This society labels more people today than 50 years ago, many times for the purpose of shutting them up. We can't have free speech (even when it is stupid speech in many opinions) unless the fear of retribution and labeling is abolished. Give me more people like this, people who are willing to wear a label in order to speak their minds...especially on-air personalities, and I think you would have more "change" in this tyrannical system...and more freedom.

Be afraid of anyone, any organization and any individual who tells you to "shut up". Much like cursing being the last effort of an uneducated mind to speak its will..."shut up" is the last effort of a mind to force their agenda.

Glenn Beck speaking out on anything does it major damage. The guy is a kook. People think the opposite of what kooks say. It isan automatic response. If you get some reputable journalists pushing for it you may see some results. Like him or hate him Glenn Beck does no cause any good.


A kook? Well, I for one still listen to that old "kook" Ron Paul even after almost every media outlet named him a "kook".

kook
n : someone regarded as eccentric or crazy and standing out from
a group [syn: odd fellow, odd fish, queer bird, queer
duck, odd man out]


kook

I guess that I am the "kook" as I do not watch, listen, discuss, or observe their version of "news" anymore. Label me a kook! My TV is permanently off. I look forward to a day when we do not pay so much attention to the scavengers. I mean, really, Glenn, and the likes are at the table more than a few days too late.

Who cares what Glenn, Ron, Barack, Oprah, Judge Judy, Dr. Laura, even Jesus says. What do you say about it?

We have figured out that this is a bad dream. Is it time to wake up?
