Glenn Beck

unsung

So what is a real gripe? I'd say this spending and continuing Iraq and the renewal of the PATRIOT Act are valid concerns.

oh, yeah....he explains things great :roll: . I was just walking by a TV at work....Beck was on it...he was actually "explaining" O'Bama by sticking pictures on a blackboard. He said, and I quote, O'Bama IS a socialist (no debate) and he (no doubt) is trying change everything that has built our country over the last 200 years...and people sit around, glued to FOX, for these fair and balanced explanations...I never watch this prick but, just now, he was talking to the camera like a parent would talk to a 4 year old. These people are so fucking irresponsible, it makes my blood boil :evil:

too bad you only saw a tiny snippet of that show. He did explain how Obama is a socialist. He also said it doesn't matter because now the argument will become, "he's a socialist, so what?"

When I first started watching Glenn Beck I thought, Jesus he's theatrical... If only he wasn't so phony-acting maybe people would actually listen to him.

They've been REAL gripes for us on the left for the last 30 years, since Reagan went batshit crazy and raised military expenditures and reduced the marginal tax rates on rich people and corporations and expanded the surveillance state.

I'd agree that continuing Iraq and the renewal of the ptriot act are valid concerns. I have yet to hear any teabaggers voice concerns about either. In fact I watched an interview with a couple teabaggers the other day that proclaimed " I'd rather fight our enemies over there than fight them here" when asked about Iraq...........another completely moronic statement.

Most of them were too busy being Bush cheerleaders, oblivious to everything going on at the time. I remember being called "un-American", "unpatriotic", "disloyal", "TERIST sympathizers" and all that stuff. Donald Rumsfeld imfamous "If you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists" line stuck in my craw for years.

You're right though, most of them still believe propaganda. It was way too convenient for them to make fun of us deluded DFH's instead of facing the truth.

Actually, the argument is that Beck doesn't know what a "socialist" is. Plus he conflates Communism, Marxism, Fascism, and Nazism, when any beginning student of political theory will know that they are completely NOT interchangeable with each other.

When I first started watching Glenn Beck I thought, Jesus he's theatrical... If only he wasn't so phony-acting maybe people would actually listen to him.

If he wasn't an out and out liar, sensible people might actually listen to him.

Funny it is. Five years ago Dems had no problem calling Bush a facist, but cry foul when their goldenchild is called out.

And five years ago Republicans had no problem labelling anyone who was against the president "unAmerican", but now that Obama is president they have no problem with it. You don't think that's hypocritical?

Glenn Beck is not a liar. He backs up everything he says with proof.

Unless she means "90 proof"... which might explain his incoherent ramblings and vituperative screamfests.

no. I've been watching him two months now. He's got a great sense of humor, too.
I cannot disagree with a single thing he says when he's only stating facts.
You should watch him more.

when he had his show on cnn during that food shortage every day he said it was because of ethanol and we just need to drill anywhere and everywhere ("even right through a polar bear's head if we need to!") one night a guy explained, or tried to, that the shortage was over wheat, not corn, which is what makes ethanol but this didn't stop him from blaming it on ethanol and pushing drilling for several days after that.

he also had that guy that wrote a book about liberals really being fascists for an entire week to push his theories. one of them, which glenn agreed with, was the push to ban trans-fats. according to these 2 knuckle heads trans fats aren't that bad for you, this was just a test for the fascists and a way to get their foot in the door for socialist, government control which will obviously lead to the government controlling what you eat and every aspect of your life.

i also think he has no backbone. during the primaries he constantly referred to ron paul as 'the mayor of crazy town' ....until the night he had him on his show and glenn proceeded to kiss his ass and tell him how he made so much sense....then about 2 or 3 days later he was back to calling him the mayor of crazy town.

another part that made me laugh was when bobby kennedy jr accused him of being a spokesman for industries like big oil and helping push their agendas he said corporations didn't have anything to do with his show....and then he'd tell us each break that it was brought to us by some company.

oh, and during the primaries kucinich made a comment about what do we tell the troops they are dying for? there were no wmd's, they weren't a threat to us, they had nothing to do with 9/11....so we need to ask ourselves why are we sending them over there? which makes sense to me but glenn kept implying he was against the troops and even said it proved kucinich 'hated' the troops because he said this in response to a question by a reporter while in another country which in glenn's demented mind equaled to kucinich talking shit about the troops to a foreign country, which make no sense whatsoever.

as you can see i have seen many episodes of his show while on cnn and not so much on fox but i catch parts of it now and then

So you agree with Glenn Beck when he calls Mitt Romney a socialist?

When Harry Smith offered one potential thing that Americans could possibly point out that might be construed as socialism, Obama quickly squashed that nonsense by pointing out that a Republican proposed a similar plan.
Here he is:
SMITH: They would say that mandating that people have to buy insurance is something like that.
OBAMA: The sort of plan proposed by current Republican nominee Mitt Romney? Yeah, so...it doesn’t make too much sense.

Which is why is why I said when Mitt Romney was running for president I don’t want anyone who even flirts with socialism...his defense for an obvious socialist act is: ‘Well Mitt Romney, he’s a Republican and he did it too.’
Did anybody else’s mom, I remember mine probably in 1969 saying, you know, things like: ‘If Mitt Romney would jump off a cliff, would you jump off too?’ Which wouldn’t have made any sense in 1969 because I wouldn’t have known who Mitt Romney was, but you get the point.
It seems to me that you can’t disprove your socialism with someone else’s socialism. Can you?


Let me repeat the question: Do you agree with Glenn Beck that Mitt Romney - the man who almost won the Republican nomination for President in 2008 - is a socialist?

_Crazy_Mary_

I agree that that Mitt Romney endorses socialist policies. And look how successful that program is (sarcasm) it's the most expensive insurance in the country. Bush & Obama are both big government politicians that are incredibly similar to me: where's the change everyone was looing for?
