They are growing. I agree with that. I do not agree that he is independent. I isn't mean the average Joe. I meant pundits who pretend to be independent. And there are some on both sides of the aisle, though the right is clearly in the lead currently.

I personally think that he must need his meds adjusted or maybe Rush isn't sharing enough. As long as you know that is show is for entertainment you are OK but if you think that he is reporting the news then it is to late for you as you already drank the kool-aid.

Why are so-called "open-minded" liberals so closed-minded when it comes to other opinions??

If Glenn Beck was the right side of the political spectrum to be taken off the air, then how could anyone justify ms roberts? Better leave the right to free speech alone or it could wipe out half the looney lefts airways polluting idiots.

Beck is more for the thinking person, not so much emphasis news by itself. He takes the news and makes you think about the possible implications of what is going on in Congress, the WH and especially, Obama - what he says and does (usually two different things).

Like I said, people who don't want to do any *thinking* won't appreciate Beck.

How come no one on the left called for Beck to be off the air when he was on CNN?

What about Lou Dobbs? Beck says the same thing Dobbs has been saying for 30 years. I never heard anyone complain about him. (dobbs got a little crazy with the birther stuff, which Beck doesn't believe)

What about Patrick Buchanon when he was on CNN?

What about Tucker Carlson when he was on MSNBC?

Why is it only when a liberatarian or conservative shows up on FOX do they become crazy and dangerous?

No one on the left learned how to think for themselves. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I don't know if you are in favor or against Glenn Beck..but either way you clearly have seen what the people on this forum think...Freedom of speech, just as that moron of a Keith Olberman and the woman...I won't even want to mention her name...but it is freedom of speech and as long as their is advertisement money coming in, they will be on the air...not long though...Glenn Beck is attracting millions of viewers

All I have to say is, at least he has the ability to smile.
Have you ever seen Keith Obermann smile?
You see this stone face that is so filled with hate and trembling that you are afraid of the T.V.
Then he throws his wad of paper at you.
Yikes, where is the remote? Help me get out of the room until the maniac is gone. When is he going to lose it and start blowing up buildings?
"HONEY, keep the kids out of the room!! There is a crazy person ranting on the airways"
Yes, I prefer Glenn Beck, at least he is informed, funny and pleasant.
One of his best and with a smile on his face:
"Chicago? Will you please keep your politicians out of Washington? We are trying to save the country"

And we have a right to turn the dial, click the remote, or manipulate whatever fancy new-fangled device is operating the electronics these days
