That beck, the carny to the rubes, the fleecer of the elderly never fails to reinvent himself for the pursuit of filthy lucre.
Yet the beguiled still anoint him with a halo. And send in those monthly checks...

Glen beck is the problem with media. Faux news created a monster that even they had to release into the wilds.

I saw this thread in the side bar "Active Threads on this Forum" and started laughing because a picture of Beck standing in the desert crying instantly popped into my head:

Oh my god. "That day after 9/11... on 9/12..." I'm trying not to laugh out loud.

I say whenever somebody goes to help, let their motivations be. Help isn't about the person doing, it's the person receiving, so who cares whether the helper is an ******* or a saint.

Hopefully he can provide assistance to someone who needs it.

Glenn Beck intends to fake cry enough tears into water bottles for poor kids who he doesn't want to have documentation or healthcare.

Yep, it's his, I have listened to his radio show a few times, it's like going to a comedy club where the comedians laugh at their own jokes, luckily Herman Cain is on another station during that time slot.

How people can buy into this is beyond me. I was watching Fox somewhere and they claimed the president, and John Boehner were calling for flags to be flow at half staff in honor of the Boston bombing victims. The intent was to give credit to Boehner even though he has no authority. Half staff is authorized by presidents, and governors only. They use the ole if we tell a lie enough it is perceived as truth. Obamaphone is another thing Obama had nothing to do with. Glenn Beck creates hate, and uses it as a tool to gain a specific agenda. Anyone who believes a single political party has all the answers is a sheeple.

Does this mean that's an important decision making step for Glenn? One that has to be guided by membership to his campaign, or do you feel like this is genuine?

Here's the article.. ‘We Must Open Our Hearts’: Glenn Beck Announces Major Border Event in Texas | Video | TheBlaze.com

I don't read The Blaze, so maybe someone can clarify. Is that Mr. Beck's own hosted website?

Regards!
I've never been a Beck fan, but have come across him saying more than one or two sane things in the last few months. Maybe he's not happy being marginalized.

Frankly, I believe he feels bad for those kids. It is very sad to have your parents send you from your home because being there poses such danger. Then they get here and have rude, idiotic adults screaming at them, protesting their presence and running them out of town. Anyone with an ounce of humanity should feel for them and be ashamed of the reaction of certain adults who behave like the villagers in Frankenstein.

They buy into it the same way people buy into the promises of their party candidates. The ones they admire and look up to, the ones who lie whenever they speak. The ones who know more about the ones to hate and don't listen to the ones they admire.

Then why does he say he is going beforehand? Why not just show up and start helping. Why announce it? Who was it, Sean Penn maybe? I don't know some celebrity showed up in New Orleans after Katrina in his own boat and started helping people and handing out water or whatever. Didn't make a press announcement. Didn't post it on his blog. Just went.

full disclosure: I think Glenn Beck is FOS.
