For 90 bucks I hope he brought his puppet show with him...

As I said it is a show...Entertainment for the sole purpose of enriching Beck's bank account.

Hell, even the Doobie Brothers still draw more than that. In fact I saw about 4,000+ people eagerly attend a Foghat concert at an Indian casino when they only had the original drummer and some guy from Molly Hatchett playing guitar...

Beck better step up his game or he'll be playing county fairs with Billy Squier and Styx soon...

It is listening to Glenn Beck that makes this townhall meeting a total frustrating waste of time. Thanks for playing though.

We are out of money (bankrupt), and just printing worthless paper. Obama is, along with his Marxist/communist/socialist czar's, trying to usurp the Congress (and they are actually helping him and applauding), and "transform America" (his words) into a Marxist/socialist European style State.

Americans have risen up and are fighting back. That is what the Tea Party has been about and what Nov 2 was about.

Your eyes are closed, however.

Now, who is the idiot? It is not Beck, nor any of the people who are becoming involved and getting politically active to SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

Get a clue, or get out of the way.

Well I suppose you would have found the founders "dangerous" then!

I don't see Beck stirring up hate. Can you provide an example?

What Beck is doing is stirring up patriotism and getting people active. Of course if the leftists are actively participating in pushing their agenda, that's okay. Right? You wouldn't call any of them Dangerous?

You don't find Cass Sundstein dangerous? Do you know what that man believes? Do you know what kind of things he has said?

How about some of the other people who surround Obama whom we are paying with our tax dollars, and whom are being referred to as "Czars"? Do you know anything about them? Probably not. You'd rather keep your head in the sand.

'Bout time some of you woke up. Your freedom and liberty is being snatched from you, and you either don't see it, or you don't care. One morning you will wake up, and your country will be gone ... forever. And you will be living under some socialist dictatorship. We are almost there.

Actually Beck comes up with very little of what he espouses its mostly coming from a team of writers who come up with whatever topics fox thinks will get the best ratings, Beck is just the mouth piece that puts forth the BS in a credible manner to all his Beckists. Kinda reminds me of Jim Jones who probably also sounded very credible up until his Kool aid event.
Beck? a total egotistical psychopath.

That is where you get all your info about Beck isn't it? I say that because none of you manage to say anything about what he has said, only quote those sites.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I get my info on Beck from YOU and all the stuff you post here about him. And guess what? The things you post are enough to tell me what an idiot the man is. The stuff you post is more than enough to convince me NOT to watch his show. Educated? Maybe. But some of the biggest idiots I've ever met in my life were also some of the most highly educated.

And hopefully there will always be someone around to dispute the claims of the salesman and refuse to buy whatever he's selling.

Why are you Beck haters so against actual history.

Forget Beck's delivery and personality.

It's time that we actually have an adult conversation about our founders and the founding documents of America. From their own words.

Or you can stay ignorant.
