Beck always told listeners and viewers not to take his word for anything but to research everything for themselves. How is that manipulating?

Because it is the same old carnival barker trick that Jones uses.

"Don't take my word for it, folks. Look it up for yourselves."
"Oh he would not say that if he was not telling the truth. No need to look it up."

Need proof? Look how many posters defending Glenn admit they do not listen to or watch him all that much. They sound just like the people that call Alex to tell him "I bought 20 of your non-copyrighted DVDs to pass out to my friends even though you tell us to copy them anyway because you need the money to keep up the good work!!"

It really is an old trick that does only seem to ever work on new dogs.

That just proves that facts do not matter. His audience is only interested in hate apparently since that is all you like about him.

Wow... generalize much? Nothing like lumping all of his supporters into one big bunch right?

I agree with you if people are just taking his word for everything and not checking it out for facts then yes that's stupid.

and out of anyone in talk radio I hear that from people who listen to Beck and Jones more than I hear it anywhere else ever. I never heard anyone say that about Al Franken or Rachel Maddow but the vicious fans of these two that thing they have the whole world figured out and everything they do not like is funded by George Soros and Nazi gold do. You can usually tell the second you ask them a question about what they think they understand that was not covered by Glenn or Alex for them.

Sorry but I don't think the left fact check or think for themselves anymore than the right.
It's all just a game...

If you think Beck is done, I would say you're incorrect. He has become somewhat of a phenomenon in America and has a lot of people hanging on his every word.

I'll be interested to see what comes next for him.

Beck, long before his venture into political commentary, he was all about humor and comedy, his radio show years ago was quite funny.

I bet the time he called a rival's wife and mocked her miscarriage live on the air was one of your favorites. Boy does he know comedy.

I see bigger and better things for Glenn Beck.

Glad he had a run on FOX, because I never heard of him before that.

Great historian, and calls it like he sees it.

This scares lefties to no end.

Can't hold people like this down. He will prosper in his new endeavors.
