I just watched a 5 minute rant of his about how "we the people are going to rebel against the Obama administration and how the majority of America hates Obama" and he has to be the most delusional, ignorant, hot bag of wind I've ever seen. He makes Rush Limbaugh seem informed. Then he has the audacity to emphasize that he's nonpartisan. And I began to think, even if I were a conservative, would I take this guy seriously?

Yeah, but I've heard he's well-endowed, so maybe he's not all bad.

No. I do not. I do not take Beck, O'reilly, Hannity, Olbermann, or Madow seriously.

Glenn Beck (whose show I watch very regularly) is great on substance and hit-or-miss on style. My advice to people is to pay less attention to his style and listen to the substance of what he says. He has predicted quite a bit of the things that are going on now and gets a lot of his information and advice from people who know what's going on (Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Andrew Napolitani, Yaron Brook, etc.) He knows what's going on and, if his style bothers you (it doesn't bother me) just try to focus on the message. He knows what he's talking about!

It's hard to take anyone seriously. So no. I only take it in with a grain of salt. He seems sincere.

Yes and I like how he talks about topics that nobody else really is and goes into depth on them.

Agreed . They're not supposed to be taken seriously. They are entertainers. How is it that some people have lost sight of this ever so obvious reality?

Out of all of them, I personally feel that Beck is the biggest charlatan of all. Of course, that's a tough call. But the fact that they are all selling snake oil should be commonly understood.

I'd have never guessed granted how insecure he is about social and fiscal issues
