I still do not understand how this moron can have a TV and a radio show.
It's called an opinion show and he's entitled to his just like you are entitled to your opinion.

Glenn Beck's show is one of the things I look forward to everyday. He is funny, entertaining, and has excellent communication skills. I like that he shows real human emotion. He breaks important news stories that the mainstream media won't touch (Van Jones, ACORN, etc). I agree with him at least 90% of the time and I like that somebody is out there expressing how I feel on issues that are important to me.

Greetings,

Correct ..... ShannonM makes a most valid point !

Glenn Beck continues to provide a most accurate reporting version of the current Washington "Political Circus" !

Fox News does an "Outstanding Job" in regards to "Public Exposure" of "Political Dirt" such as the disgraceful "Acorn Debacle" ..... and
there are many other examples where Fox news was the only media source to provide vital coverage of such idiotic outrages !

For those good folks whom disagree with the subject matter of Fox News and Old Glenn Beck ..... Then Please don't torture yourself
any longer ..... "Just Don't Watch It " ......There's always the alternative of the unbiased reporting of CNN or MSNBC...... Right !
LOL !

It's Not Such A Hard Decision At All ..... Just Turn To Another Channel For Goodness Sake !!! And With The Tremendously
High Fox News Ratings ..... They Really Won't Mind At All !

Thanks / Lamar

Very insightful! I hope every other person in America that voted for Obama did so with the same intellectual reasoning that you provided.

I mean, after all, this is what all people base their valuble vote on, right?

1.) Oratory skills
2.) Personality
3.) He's not the other guy

Me, personally, I vote for the candidate that is the closest in sharing my ideals. A candidate that focuses on handling serious issues as a president needs to. If more people were to base their vote off of that quality, this country would see true CHANGE.

As if from Satans own lips.

Sorry. I stand with Beck and all the others fighting to save this country from destruction. You are trying to deceive. You are on their side. You want to destroy it.

Can someone please post a clip of what they consider to be hate-mongering by Beck? I've never heard him utter a hint of racism or hatred. I know "hate-mongering" and "hate-speech" are popular terms among leftists who don't like their socialist tendencies exposed by talk show hosts with large audiences. But I'd love to know what their definition of hate is these days. My guess is it's a label for anyone who disagrees with them and has a large following either online or on tv/radio.

From reading other posts of yours, on other threads, I know that you are one that hates people who are successful and from their success have become wealthy. You have nothing but disdain for the "rich".

But, what is America all about? It is about the freedom to work hard and to do what you do best, striving to achieve, doing something you love, in the hope of making life better for yourself, your family, and perhaps for others. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

No other nation in the history of the world has offered greater opportunity for individual freedom. That is why we speak of "American exceptionalism"; but, notice that Obama does not. He never speaks about it. He hates it, much as you apparently do.

There is nothing wrong with achievement. A person in America can come from the bottom and work to the top. It's all about determination, and putting forth the effort. And I think striving to be the best we can be honors God. After all, he gave us the intelligence, and he expects us to use it. Further, desire to achieve does not automatically translate to greed. It is not greedy to want to improve your life.

If one isn't afraid of hard work, and taking some risks in life (which are often part of the formula for becoming wealthy), one can become wealthy. Why does that draw your ire? Is it jealously? Why do you hate those who have more than you do?

Because you don't like his money doesn't mean that Glenn is insincere. What makes you think you can judge his heart?

Glenn is dead right on everything he has uncovered about this administration and it's agenda. And let's face it; he is not alone in this. He has much company from many highly qualified people, some who have had careers in politics.

Obama promised transparency. He didn't deliver. But he is transparent. He can be read like a book if we look at who his friends and associates have always been, and study their activities, and their writings. Obama lives in a glass house. We can see exactly what he is doing. History reveals the truth.

It is Glenn's views and opinions that have made him successful, and wealthy; because his audience (which by the ratings is obviously huge — he is number three, Rush and Hannity being first and second respectively) shares them.

His tours draw thousands. Why? Because people want to hear him, and they do agree with him. His views and opinions and values are shared by millions of othe Americans.

So, what is your purpose in life?

Yeah I vote for the candidate that has ideals closer to mine as well but I also thought Obama was a great speaker, smiled a lot, etc. Obama is a great speaker like Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were. All three of these presidents were great speakers. Whether you liked them or not you have to admit that their speeches are pretty inspiring.

Why dont you be more concise? why dont you just write "white" americans cuz Blacks, Asians, Hispanics dont share your views as in general public. Me personally a Filipino American (+ other ethenticities - color) think beck is a racist moron.

You must not have seen Glenn's show Friday with a large panel of black conservatives. It was obvious that Beck genuinely liked them and enjoyed listening to what they had to say, He doesn't come across as racist at all to me. Your argument that Beck is racist is based on emotion more than anything he actually said. Plus don't speak for all minorities, my girlfriend is Filipino and enjoys Glenn Beck's show just as much as I do.
