That's right for of you who listen or watch him faithfully, he's pulling your leg - he's in it for the money. Facts be damned, and you think Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly are any different?

Beck admits he doesn’t give ‘a flying crap about the political process. … We’re an entertainment company.’

That is all he is. A man who acts like a dog for entertainment. He sure is a good comedy.

He just cares about his bank account a bit more.

This isn’t the first time Beck has suggested he isn’t as radically conservative as he seems. In February he told USA Weekend that "you'd have to be an idiot" to "not notice the temperature change" caused by global warming, and that he thinks mankind may play a signficant role in the phenomenon. Beck has previously described himself as "a rodeo clown" and conceded, "If you take what I say as gospel, you're an idiot."
Ha. I wonder what the Beck-lovin yahoos who post on this forum, who hang on his every word, think of this?

I think I will wait to see what Forbes says and not take the word of ThinkProgress for it. I have found ThinkProgress to be a little bit too far left leaning in the past and I know it was created to take "care" of Beck and others like him. This is a typical hatchet job from them.

May I ask how many minutes of Beck you saw either today or yesterday (Wednesday or Thursday)? I don't think you need answer since I know the answer is zero.

I have heard those words many more times than you have because MediaMatters, ThinkProgress, HuffPo and Kos haven't reported them every time he has said them. For some reason it seems to me that so many of our "leaders" say things I don't agree with and yet I am not allowed to do that with Beck since progs consider themselves so superior to those of us who watch him that all they can do is call us names. Attack the messenger and never touch the message is a favorite prog game since it takes so much less thinking than reversing the game.

Every time you and the others call me some fool name like yahoo I want to laugh at you for not being able to explain why the name. When will you stop playing the Alinsky games?

So, does it bother you that Glenn, himself, called you an idiot?

I wish all his fans would read and really understand what Beck is saying when he said: “If you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.”
