I often wonder why people dislike Glen Beck so much. I watch his show often and it is very informative. I do find him to be a bit hyperactive at times and a bit distracting, but his overall message seems well intentioned.

One thing that really used to bother me was how he interrupted his guests during interviews, but it seems that he is exhibiting a little more self control in that area lately.

I agree with his ideas that the country is being dismantled by a group of Progressives, and I find that he does a good job of supporting his argument.

What do you think and why do you think people dislike him so much?

People don't like him for 3 reasons.

1- he is a mouth-piece
2- he cryes
3- he is republican

Just so you know I absolutely hate Glenn Beck.

Hate the man not the message.

Pisses me off when people immediately assume I like glenn beck because I support his ideas.


Hey! I like Obama as a person! Just hate him to the core for every other reason!

I do not like him as like alex jones he is a conman. Like phil schneider used to say you cannot be master of two houses. You are there for truth and goodness or your not, it really is that absolute for me.

I think both are just cons, one radio the other tv.

I think he is very informative too.

Sometimes he is hard to watch with all his antics, but I think some people hate the fact he is on fox news,

When what they should really be questioning is he telling the truth.

Sometimes I wonder if all the Fox news haters fell for the other news stations as they pushed the Obama mythos.

Manhy people have more than one occupation, and satire of the political system or the human condition are considered high forms of comedy. I, personally, like Beck, although I don't agree with him on all issues. He admits to no fancy degress, being a a reformed alchoholic, and just doing his homework.
Sorry, but most people on this board can't make the 2ond or 3rd claim(and I,m not to sure about the 2ond), yet they are willing to jump on anyone who disagrees with them.
Beck simply states what he believes, based on his research, and if he cries, so what? I've shed more than a few tears in my lifetime.

The thing about Glen beck and all the other right wing nutjobs is that they hate the fact that they are no longer in power.
So now fox and co are having a stab at the new administration under the guise of loving their country.
When Glen beck cries those fake tears he reminds me of a sexual predator, who's just been stopped by police with a dead hooker in the trunk. "But officer I love my country so much the fema camps made me do it" lol

The only strong point you made here was point 1. I believe that he is indeed a mouth piece. Stating what he is TOLD to state. At times I like what he is saying but I simply don't get that feeling of 'truth' from him. I feel that he wants to say more and is holding back on things.

One point in fact was about the FEMA camps. At one point he stated that he cannot disprove this theory. Then he comes out on his TV show and says that they are not real and then whispers (I was told to say that) as if mocking the conspiracy theorists that question the camps. This is why I don't 'trust' him.

I'm not quite to the point of 'dislike'. Not like with O'Reilly and Hannity. I absolutely distrust and despise those two and I'm a conservative! They are loud mouths that will only say what they are told to say. They won't listen to anything others bring to the table and will constantly cut people off. If you do that in my book you simply don't deserve a show like they have. But the reason Fox keeps them is for that. Their point of view gets the spotlight and the opposition gets cut off.

So, Beck is kind of on the fence for me. I don't know what to think. I just don't trust him. Or any other mouth piece for that matter.
