His followers are nuts.
No, Obama is inciting fear and anger in the American people. We have, at the helm of our government, the closest thing this country has ever had to a socialist dictator, and he promised during the campaign that what he intended to do was to "fundamentally change America". He's doing it. Only no one thought that what he was talking about was socialism, or him being a dictator.

Too bad we didn't pay attention to all the warnings.

It doesn’t really matter what anyone of thinks about Beck, because this is the USA and we are all entitled to our opinions, even him. Like it or not.

My opinion of Beck is that he seems to be one sided and I would like to see him present both side of the issues and let us the public decide for ourselves.

Then who or should we not have a president or congress or any leaders.

Do you think Glen Beck can be president? since he knows all the answers

First Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is the right to bear arms.

Then of course he joined FOX and got his new marching orders, and its been all downhill from there.
If he offers NOTHING but partisan BS, as you say......then WHY do MILLIONS, apparently "worship him?"
WHY then, does he frequently say...."it doesn't matter if you are a Republican, a Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Independent or have ANY party affiliation.....if YOU ARE an AMERICAN......and CARE about YOUR Constitution and YOUR country, you should be concerned!"
NOT a verbatim quote.....but along these lines....GB says this, often in his shows.
MAYBE.....YOU and many others just don't keep the channel on long enough to KNOW this?
BTW....I DON'T worship him or ANY human being......but I DO get a kick out of Glenn and find his show VERY informative and amusing sometimes, to say the least.

IF....Glenn is taken off the air, it will only confirm what many suspect we are heading for and the poop will hit the fan really fast.

Glenn Beck is not even really a "news" show, but that kind of channel is where some of the unique and great investigating is stemming from the past year.

Why do you think Obama is so desparate to attack them? If Beck and some others were so loony, nobody would say nothing. But it's like Obama and the ilk have been hiding in darkness, and someone is shining a bright light. They nave nowhere to scatter and hide, so they are hoping to break the light.

Geez ... Beck is bringing so many people to Fox News, that even if he lost all his advertisers, which won't happen, they could use his show as a loss-leader and still massively expand their network.

Beck's show is literally stomping the competition into the mud over at MSNBC.

Fox broke the Acorn story along with the man and women who got video of the filth working at Acorn, willing to advise illegal and immoral business. Again, the major networks in Obama's pocket eventually woke from their slumber and reported it some once BAC and the IRS broke ties with Acorn.

You miss the real issue here. Obama realizes that he is soon to be taken "off the air". His poll numbers are crashing, inching downward closer to Pelosi's numbers. Obama's message is like a radio dial that got nudged and the speaker sounds like static. His whole administration is hung on one major issue of health care, and the bigger percentage of the public don't like it.
Excellent post!

Why should he be taken off the air? Becasue you don't like what he has to say? Ridiculous. If everyone got taken off the air who someone disagreed with or disliked, there'd be nothing on. Companies are willing to pay to advertise their products while his show is on, because apparently he attracts viewers. You don't have to be one of them. Click on that remote & move on down the dial.

You want to take him off the air because you don't agree with what he is saying? Wow.
