The talk show hosts in general, both sides of the fence, are there to do one thing and one thing only.....DISTRACTION, DILUTION & DELUSION... the 3D's of the propaganda machine. Distract the people, dilute the situation and give the delusion of reality.
Regardless of who is speaking, from the right or left that is, put those 3D's to the test and you'll see what I mean. What really pisses me off is that everyone falls for the crap....wake america.....this war is almost to a close and the casualties are "We the People".

I just find it funny the following Beck had during the Bush administration, and as soon as Obama gets sworn in those same people despise him 'to the core'. And those individuals swear they are 'independent', and are 'highly critical of Obama'. Hmmm.

By right wing nutjobs I mean the neo-cons, O'reily,Rush,Fox etc these people are trying to throw as much mud at the govt by any means.
Glenn Beck isn't saying all these things for any other reason than cash and fame, same as jon stewart, Alex jones,rush,Icke and all the other book/dvd sellers.
I have no political belief that Beck is a neo-con he's just an entertainer making a living, reading lines and picking up a check at the end of the day.
I'll give you all a tip, don't believe the media,do the research, make your own mind up.

I happen to like Beck. He has a sense of humor, absoulutely no sense of taste when it comes to fashhion (or so my wife tells me. I see nothing with the way he dresses.) When he does interviews, he usually does them well, although he has a habit of interrupting a little too often sometimes.
Something people need to remember is that he literally does hav A.D.D. which causes him to sometimes jump from tiopic to topic.
I admire Beck because he did what a lot of us have to do. He educated himself. If he cries because something touches him, so be it. The same thing happens to me.
There are so many Fox haters on here that I won't even mention O'Rielly, except to say this. The man does not report the news, he analyzes it.

Glen Beck is a Mormon.
He talks about being a Mormon all the time on the radio.........he PUSHES a Mormon agenda which includes being a die hard republican. The Mormon Church wants ALL the members to be republicans and to hate gay people.

My entire family is Mormon.
I live in Salt Lake City and listening to Glen Beck is like any other Mormon Church Sunday service where they intermix religion and politics constantly.

I think THIS could be a reason WHY the man is so intensely disliked.
OR I could be wrong and its his choice of Ties.
Whatever.
Mormons BELIEVE they are far superior to all other people, and Glen beck reeks of this core belief in everything he says.

I do not care for people who push a religious agenda under the guise of politics or vis versa.

I am a Pagan and my family prays for me.
lol.......I pray for THEM.

I do not like Glen Beck. When I first watched his antics were amusng but theyrapidly got old. Than I realized something. He is in effect using a tactic I have had to used for far to long at work. When you cannot tell someone something directly and you need to tell them you have to tell them indirectly where they do NOT REALIZE the message is for them. I have often had to tell someone who didn't care what I was talking about or wish to discuss it something that was NOT MEANT FOR THEM TO HEAR OR UNDERSTAND. It was meant for the person next to us. If I told them directly they would fight it but hearing it told to someone else they were willing to think about it and later it was their own idea. In Beck's case he does it as a joke, trying to make it funny, in hopes that later you will think about it without the initial resistance. It seems to me that his major message is "THINK" about what is going on rather than his having the final answer. That is the reason people dislike him. He is not telling people what to THINK. He doesn't HAVE the anwers. He just has the QUESTIONS. People prefer to be told the answers, they do not want to be told to figure it out on their own. Human nature.

I used to listen to Glen Beck.

I stopped listening to him because he never coments on stories which are relevant to me. So I listen to other more informed people.

Last time I caught an excerpt of his, he was genuinly worried land owners in the Southwest( he called them Billy bobs)would stage a rebellion.

I thought he looked and acted like he had lost touch with reality. This must be what happens to people who try to run a T.V. and a radio show at the same time.
