Glen Beck does Obama's Upbringing

Oh, man, I'm watching this live...this will be the most controversial thing GB has done yet.

He's doing "more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger"-style, portraying Obama as a red-diaper-baby (and if GB wasn't such an unsophisticated middlebrow, he would know the phrase "red diaper baby", I keep shouting it at the screen but I know he'll never get to it) with a tragic life (i.e. a freak to be pitied) since his parents both abandoned him for radical ideology GB says...Obama "never had a chance"...

This is going to stir up some excitement...oh my

Beck is bad theater.
He's totally fake and he knows it, doesn't care. He's making millions off the gullability and ignorance of his audience.

beck is nothing more than a talking head shill.

i try not to listen to anything "he says" because it's full of misinformation.

Couldn't agree more.

It's funny, but before he went on The View he painted this picture of his encounter with Walters and Goldberg on the train as being a intimidating encounter with powerful crass liberals in control of the very seating on Am-Track trains. He even said Barbara Walters came over to him and spoke down to him in a haughty "witch-like" voice regarding his upcoming appearance on her show.

He lied.

Not only that, they called the guy out on the show and totally made him look like a fool. What is his response to the fact that he made up the story and got the facts wrong?

"I apologize. I'm not a journalist, or investigative reporter. I don't check facts."



A rare moment of honesty or a slip of the tongue?

Either way I wasn't surprised since this man warps facts and reality to extremes just to help divide the nation and line his pockets.

He's in the center of the cone of ignorance.

Everyone should watch the following theatrical work of art. Those who do will see some of the most biting satire of our age. Beck, and anyone that subscribes to his nonsense, should be ever-changed by Stewart's brilliant evisceration of his daily demonstration of hyperbole, histrionics, and lack of coherency.

I dare anyone who somehow holds Glen Beck as a reliable and informed source of information and coherent thought to watch this epic video:

Well, Glenn has dozens of people feeding him this and that to blurb out...he is a ringmaster..of course he doesn't research or factcheck..he hires people to (poorly) do that for him.

Beck is a showman..thats about it. He makes a tidy profit from being a showman at that...not that turning a buck is a bad thing mind you.

YAY, HIGHER RATINGS, EXCITED RIGHT-WING NUTJOBS = More money for Murdoch.

This isn't rocket science, The crazier Glenn Beck gets, the more people tune in to watch his show, get hyped up, and watch his next show. The more people that watch the show, the more money advertisers are willing to spend. The more money advertisers are willing to spend, the more money is made from the show.

TV companies love scandals and controversy, even in their own ranks, as it keeps people glued to the sets, and on their channel.

In the end, expect more of this, expect even more wild commends, thats what (((GB))) gets paid to do.

im no beck fan, but this was one of the more sad attempts to discredit him.

what do you expect from whoopie n friendz.

so let me get this straight, they are all bickering over who approached who? lmao

i think the point of the story was the encounter and the evil glare from whoopie, but they would rather argue over some inane meaningless fact thats not the least bit pertinent to the subject matter. and for the record that lady DOES sound like that,

and no Beck isnt a reporter or a journalist, i would respect him a bit more if he were. he has a whole team of paid poeple to do that for him. but i seriously doubt hes paying any of those poeple to research meaningless trivial encounters with random poeple on trains. Beck just spouts his 2 cents on issues as they come up, while pretending to teach us all "common sense" on his chalkboard.

however i find my IQ dropping at a much slower rate while watching his show than most of the other options on the television.

since his parents both abandoned him for radical ideology GB says...Obama "never had a chance"...

"Never had a chance"????

"Abandoned for radical ideology"????

I am not an Obama fan, but he seems to be doing pretty well for himself? His radical ideology is catching on pretty too?

I know Beck is a moron, and I blame him for marginalizing the real Tea Party movement, and adding flame to all the fires surrounding the grassroots movement of taking back our government, but I didn't think he was this out of touch?

I may not agree with 90% of what Obama has done, but if he were my son, I would still be pretty dam proud! If I was black, I would still be pretty dam happy that he got this far. If I was a radical ideologue, I would be THRILLED that he was on my side!

Beck? How about doing some real research, read ATS awhile, find some real issues, attend a real Tea Party . . . wait, no don't come to a Tea Party or to ATS, I like both of them too much. Just continue your emotional rampage until they finally Baker Act you.

BWAHAHA! That was great. Thank you for posting that. Look at the fat man squirm! Hahahahaha

For all of those who speak against Glenn Beck, have you ever done any fact checking on what he says? It may not be popular, but it is accurate, from what I can find, and all I use is Bing and Google, looking at different sources. Yes it is true, he does not do the research, but he does have a staff who does the research and they are double checked, cause the laws that would serve to protect would also serve to punish. And from what I have seen, and have heard, if anything he states is in error, if they call him on it, he will make it the first thing to make the correction. So he is not all that bad, he is a comentator, making opinions based off of what he sees. Sometimes I think he is a bit over the top, but most of the time, it makes me think and to take a look.

It is funny you think he is so bad but in reality it is you that are the problem with America and the world for that matter. Let me explain it is not about the issues anymore and it a comes down to who is telling them to you. This is setup on purpose for the weak of mind so instead of having to deal with the message they can just discredit the messenger.



And the more you attack Glen the more I think he might be on to something. If he was not telling the truth you would go after the message not the man. Thankfully for us that think when times get truly tuff you will not see it for what it is.

It might be that Mr. Glenn Beck is doing what his puppet masters are asking him to do since they paid him 50 million dollars for his contract, I figure Glenn Beck will do what his is told to do just as any puppet would do when his puppet masters pull his strings.

Mr. Glenn Beck could very well be the means by which Obama or his staff henchmen will use to crack down or justify some legislation that silences talk radio and the internet of such ability to speak out without being told to shut up and sit down.

Times are getting to be where Mr. Glenn Beck could be of more use setting up talk radio for a fall than Rush could have been. This job requires a stooge and a boot licker. Mr. Beck is that man and since he is more than capable of doing what he is told, today, he could be doing what is necessary to assist in some Obama legislation or some draconian executive order which silences talk radio and the internet in one stealth move. All with the cooperation of Mr. Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is lower than ant crap that is stored underground.

More perfect logic from the unpaid Fox News cheerleaders. The reason why most critically thinking people feel Beck is a shill is because of his words, actions, and behavior. Your logic proves that you will tautologically support Beck the more he says ridiculous things that are pointed out as such. That should make one go, 'hmmmm?'

Best,

I’m surprised by the Beck hate here. Please post how and why he is this stooge if he is exposing Obama and what the Government is doing? Is anyone else with any creditability doing it or doing as good of a job?
If you really want the country to look like Europe / France I guess you would want Beck silenced.
I see some of you think he has bashed the Tea Party Movement. Would it even exist without him, he is the driving force behind the last shred of hope all your kids have to have the same opportunities you did. Could he be different here or there-sure but he is the best we have.
Now put up or shut up!

Pull your head out for the love of god, please

You are an individual, think like one

You are actually defending a Mainstream media source and a man with a TV show

IF you live in a town with low oxygen levels or inbreeds leave ASAP, but you can't live your life sounding like this, people will clown you behind your back.

The TV is a box that generates money by entertaining people, that is the gist, not complicated.

Glenn Beck has a target audience and his show is intended to hook his viewers into
watching again and again like a SOAP OPERA.

So please, it is getting so boring man, their is no excuse for this idiocy

kill your TV

and have faith in your nation

Time to set aside the Glen Beck circle jerk for a moment and look at the facts of Obama's unstable childhood.

His alleged father ditched him as a baby and he may have only seen his father once or twice after that before Barack Sr. died.

He was moved to a foreign country and allegedly adopted by another man is his mom's life and placed in the local schools for several years.

Then he is passed off to his grandparents and moved back to HI while his mom continues to search for a life without him.

From there he wanders through college searching for an identity that he never had. He hangs out with the fringe groups and Marxist professors trying to be cool. He was a prime target for indoctrination with an open and willing mind. He certainly found his identity and much more...

Pretty sad really. It seems that his grandparents were the only stable figures in his life. Fortunately, he had them to rely on. Clearly, his mother was not up to the task.
