I have only seen a few minutes of his show a few times. He certainly is energetic. What some people forget, is that it is TV first. Politics is second to ratings. The problem comes when folk use a pundit like GB or any of the others for that matter as a news source.

Hi, maybe the OPS original post wasn't an attack but it certainly put Glen in a negative light.
But all the usual suspects who chimed in after the OP's initial thread are certainly negative and attack with nothing of value added and really no point. Here's just one example and frankly I didn't bother with the rest:

Meson stated: I hate Beck, I'd like to punch the moron in the mug if I thought it had a penis....
Cecee stated. . . but he can come across as schizo and the only end game seems to be to rile people up and make a name for himself!

You must certainly agree that these are negative attacks with no value or purpose other than, well Cecee stated it perfectly, "to rile people up."

Why would something written on a message board about a third person rile anybody up?
Are you related to Beck?

meson where did i say I got riled up? You are misunderstanding or misreading posts again but that's ok. Let me try and explain it for ya:
I quoted Cecee who stated Glen riles people up and then I stated that there was little purpose to a lot of the posts other than to, as Cecee put it, "rile people up."

Funny though because you seem to get riled up pretty easy like when your last post you said you hated him and you would like to punch him in the mug. . .
My word if that doesn't sound "riled up". . . lol!!

Yawn.

I just wonder don't you have anything proactive to post about instead of always going on the defense and attack mode?
I'm just curious, as to why HE has the be the one on the attack, then when people talk about it, go completely defensive?

He intentionally draws attention to himself, I'm not trying to attack or add negative baggage to him... but he's encouraging people to be against things...not sure I like this "propoganda" I've heard so much about
Let me make up my own mind--is what I'm saying

Stereotyping that I'm "another one of those guys" doesn't really work...?

I mean really what is the point besides trashing him?

Okay, here's a few guidelines to help you...

Are Progressive Politicians good or bad?

How does he expect us to get a smaller, smarter government that does more, when the one we've got right now, is big, taxes us heavily, and does little?

Why is so much of his focus on the Tea Party?

Do all media stations take political party sides?

It's hard to see him in positive light, trying to convince me to think that THIS way is Good, and the other is something NOBODY wants...

You should be listening to Glenn, he is pointing out the corruption in the WH, which is very real and very dangerous. He is doing a good job of saving the country from Obama. Those that hate Beck are allowing your corrupt leader to take you into socialism.. The blind mocking the savior... You should all feel very foolish...
If you want to hate someone, hate Obsama, he is the one who needs to go if we are to save this country from becoming Europe..

LOL. If you watch Beck long enough, you wonder if his Lithium level is therapeutic.
