I have to ask...is he for real? I mean it does look like a spoof, or like someone trying really hard to ACT like he's spoofing, but this is supposed to be serious? He makes funny noises, does silly voices, makes faces and mugs to the camera, does skits, etc.

I've seen Comedy Centrals shows (The Daily Show, Colbert Report) and I KNOW those are joke shows that touch on real issues, is Glen Beck's show satirical?
I use to watch him until he went to fox news channel and went crazy. Glenn beck like most conservative talk show host is a former drug addict. Rush, Glenn beck, all drugs addicts and alcoholics, so yes they act weird and say funny things becuase their brains don't function properly

We do live in an ignorant world.


Yes we do live in an ignorant because it is liberal and Democrats that are working hard to silence free speech including your messiah. If you watched Beck you would be more informed of how that is occuring.

Obama is not my messiah and it's completely ignorant for you to assume so. This is what I'm talking about.

The poster asked how it makes some of us feel that Beck has higher ratings than the credible commentators/journalists, and I answered him honestly. A discussion of the issues was not germane to the question posed.

Reading comprehension not your strongsuit?

so please address the issues he brought up. None of those disturb you?? Even the list of socialist advisors he's made into czars?

Beck is stupid.

Beck is a moron.

Beck cries like a girl.

yadayadayadayada.....

Still no one has addressed the issues that he raised:

Communist mentor
William Ayers
Radical college groups
Socialist colege hang outs discussions (his own words)
Palling with Marxist groups (his own words!)
Colunbia University
Tony Resco
Rev Wright
Willian Ayers
The socialists advisors he's surrounded himself with...even one who advocated sterilizing people in their friggin' drinking water!!!


Way to go Big O!!!!

Nope. Beck just hit a nerve. the truth hurts! This country bought the snake oil. It was called hope and change.

Pretty sure ALL those issues were discussed to death before and during the election by everyone with a voice, including MSM and ALL the talking heads. You couldn't even log on to the internet without seeing a poll or report or blog on a homepage. There are no answers that can be give that will satisfy people who hate Obama, so to keep addressing things, in perpetuity, is pointless. Kinda surprised you didn't put "birth certificate" on that list.

It makes me sad that the majority of cable news-watchers evidently are too stupid to be able to see past the obvious hate- and fear-mongering to realize that they are being duped by these rich and powerful jagoffs who honestly don't give two hoots about their idiot viewers, and are only looking out for their own bottom lines.

Unlike you, it does not make me giddy that the intelligent individuals in this country are far outnumbered by the ignorant. But go on, keep laughing. Too bad that Beck and the rest of his Fox cohorts are not laughing with you, but at you, while you and your fellow followers of stupidity continue to line their pockets.
b-b-b-but he's just trying to save America from the communist mainstream media and the socialist, racist Obamatrons!

Satirical is the answer. This is not bad at all considering that talking about politics alone, and in a serious way, turns sower very fast. I listen to Rush, and then Savage. Savage is satirical, while Rush is very serious about politics, so I am beginning to drift toward both Savage and Beck lately. I will return to Rush later when he relaxes a little and re-introduces satire or a little fun to his show. He used to do that not too long ago, sometimes by bringing some entertaining characters as hosts.

That can be said from both liberals and conservative. There are a lot of drug users on both sides. Just look at the liberals in Hollywood
