Wasn't governor Moonbean AKA Jerry Brown recently elected governor of CA, a once upon a time hippie?
No, he's a governor's son, very blue-blood. But he lived with Linda Ronstadt for a while and perhaps she transferred a bit of the--well, hippie vibe, for lack of a better term.
Well a lot of hippies were from the blue bloods---rebelling that lifestyle. Of course, they all went back to their daddy's mansion once they got too old to rock and roll the night away and drop acid.
If one is intersted in the truth and seeks the truth then it shouldn't matter what the source of that truth is. IF Glenn speaks the truth then why criticize him??

Way back when, Jerry Brown was considered a leader for the California Hippies. I think he is an aging reincarnation of his former self. Fiscally conservative; socially wacko.
In the 70's, the group, Dead Kennedys, had a song in which they described Jerry Brown as a "power hungry fascist" posing as a liberal.

I've not read this anywhere. He graduated law school in 1964, before hippiedom was the style, and after that followed a fairly conventional legal career before becoming Secretary of State and then Governor.
I'm sure that such hippies as were still around in the 1970s preferred him to Ronald Reagan, but that hardly makes him one of their leaders.
It took out two commi Obama czars all by himself and has exposed just how anti American Obama and his family of American haters are.
Thank goodness for Glen Beck and people like him.
He has been dead on right on many, many things in the Obama WH and other anti American people.
Like him or not, his success with exposing things has been awesome.
Ask Van Jones, you know the commi czar hand picked by Obama that Beck destroyed?
Success is something left wingers hate and Beck is a total success story.
Nice the poll has one positive and all the rest negative thoughts. So it must be another trolling thread.
Loons fill up CD with Beck and Palin threads because they have nothing positive to post about their lame duck in the WH.
There's only one good thing to say about him. Either he's fighting the good fight or he's a paranoid jackass nutbar. The people have spoken.
And on your second point: I'm not a lefty and I didn't vote for Obama, but that doesn't mean that I have to swallow an obvious paranoid's grandiose delusions hook line and sinker. Many people with conservative voting records recognize Beck for the loon that he is.

OK. A satirical song by an anarchist punk-rock band that presented Brown as a fascist also described him as a hippie. Fair enough.
But when you said "was considered a leader for...hippies" I assumed you meant "was considered by credible people."
