Well, Glenn Beck's viewership also happens to hear the TRUTH (something you all will not allow yourselves to believe).......despite your belief that it's 98% fear/hate mongering....and something all the other media....chooses to IGNORE.
Truth...ignored or ommitted by the former...MSM.

And...so too, MILLIONS.... would much rather hear it EVERYDAY instead....ON FOX NEWS.
I know...it's Faux news to you.....because, like a good ostrich....you all keep your heads buried in the sand. Sadly......your still a noisy bird that many people wish....would just shut up....and LISTEN....if you would ever decide to pop your beaks up long enough to think outside of your little box.
I KNOW this is asking too much, but I had to try.

And...if it is NOT....the TRUTH that Fox is reporting......then WHY hasn't GB and Fox News been sued for libel and slander by now?
WHY?
WHY is THIS administration so "fearful" of GB and Fox News?
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE in THIS admin?

The TRUTH hurts though and many can see how horribly it upsets some to have to FACE IT.

And all "few" MILLION.....of his DAILY viewers perhaps......SEE a real possibility of YOUR kind.....making damn sure those "end of times" equates to the fundamental change a lot of Americans (FOOLS) voted for for thesedays.
END of an era for sure.
End of times?
Well....just the good ones, IMO.

AND....it IS YOUR opinion....as to whether or not some "talk" is hateful or divisive.
Perhaps......it IS the AGENDA of the Libs/Proggies, the Dems, Pelosi, Reid, Gore, THIS POTUS and Soros.....that are creating this hateful and divisive climate you all feel is getting warmer too.
It couldn't be that non-productive generic, Commie, facist, intimidating, Chicago thug-style
CRAP increasingly being FORCED onto Americans NOW more than EVER....that.......just might be creating such a divisive and hateful climate that you feel.

NEVER!

YOU guys would never believe it could be this.....so, IMO....it IS YOU....who ARE all the delusional ones.
GB...is just a nut in his particular style of delivery.....but a nut CAN still be honest and truthful to the delusional, uninformed and those misguided by their loyal partisanship too.

I actually have watched Glenn Beck a time or two, and it only cemented my opinion of him being a certifiable loon. As for his lies? Well so far I can count...

- Just about everything on the Van Jones issue.

- Anytime he uses the word "socialist" or "communist" (Beck must not realize the two are incompatible)

- Anything related to Cap and Trade

Oh and how about the Cash for Clunkers website debacle, which even earned a spot on Snopes?

snopes.com: Cash for Clunkers

And that's just a short list.

I think if you take the time to go to http://wwww.glennbeckclips.com which by the by isn't part of his business empire and watched today's show you would be concerned about the fact that he failed to tell one lie or twisted truth. Actually I wish you would prove that I am stupid by telling me all the provable lies he tells and today would be a great time for you to go into it looking to hear all the lies. I doubt that you will be sullied by listening to all his truths and really don't think you will. Actually, I don't think you have the guts, as a prog, to do as I say so you can enumerate all his lies. You know damned well that you won't find any but you won't take a chance of hearing that much truth in so short a time.
Hahahahahahahaha.

How about a baseless accusation that one who is not religious MUST BE labeled an evil progressive. That is about the biggest load of nonsense I have ever heard. Yes, it was on that program TONIGHT. Beck likes to pigeonhole particular voting demographics and his assumptions are often quite false.

Well, at least, you managed to say that he doesn't know why socialist and communist aren't compatible. Of course, that means that I taught hundreds of kids a lie when I told them, every year, that socialism is just a form of communism light. They are surely as all hell one an the same other than one demands a bit more absolute government control although they both need government control of so many things.

I guess you need to tell me about your Cash for Clunkers debacle that you and Snopes found since I guess I missed that day.

The one thing that the White House has allowed him to push them into doing something about was Van Jones. You don't really think he resigned without some pushing do you? I guess you haven't seen any of the Van Jones performances that Beck plays now and then. You need to go to youtube an look for Jones at the PowerShift, 09 get together. Then listen to the words the man says. He is guilty of all that communist talk as is shown by Beck with all those videos of Jones. Every damned thing Beck says about JOnes can be proven by watching the videos.

Maybe you haven't ever seen the SEIU president talking on any of the clips that Beck plays almost every day. Watch some of them and tell me again that Beck is a liar about those clips.

That crap of saying anything related to Cap and Trade is more of the attack the messenger crap of a prog. What has he said about that topic that is not true? Stop the attempts to throw that anything Pelosi and get real with some of the things.

You are clutching at straws and might as well admit that you are doing that since you just can't come up with truth about his "lies".

I missed the first 5 minutes this evening so he may have put something over on me. However, I agree with that one so we now have a 2 -1 majority over you.

Default Glenn Beck

So you say "black and white view point." Whats wrong with that? It is either right or wrong. We need more folks in Goverment to stand for this.
If the ideas presented are not logical or do not fall within the scope of common sense and reality, they are not worth debating.
I would appreciate it if you would specifically post what Glen Beck has said or stands for that is dillusional. The fact is that people are becoming closely informed on this administration and realizing that the Transparency, hope and change and yes we can is a joke.
Obama has escalated the war, Lined the corporate fat cats pockets with some stash, and devalued this great country. Not to mention, quadrupled the U.S. debt. Not one damn job produced either.
We have some history to learn from on this situation. FDR, go read some of our past and report back to me.

Oh, goody. Now call us stupid for watching him and reading his books and listening to him on radio. Whoops, I forgot, I only hear him on radio about twice a month. I is a stupid fool listener of Beck.

I guess you really think he cares a bit how many people stay with him. I guess you don't know that he says that all the time.

You delusional people who fear Beck so much should stop keeping these threads going on for so long. Just let it lie and we can't have so much fun with you.

Bush instituted the bailout and Obama instituted the stimulus.

September 25, 2008
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. President George W. Bush, saying "our entire economy is in danger," urged Congress to approve his administration's $700 billion bailout proposal.

"We're in the midst of a serious financial crisis, and the federal government is responding with decisive actions," Bush said in a televised address Wednesday night from the White House.

Bush pointed out that the collapse of several major lenders was rooted in the subprime mortgage market that thrived over the past decade.

He said passage of the $700 billion bailout proposal was needed to restore confidence in the market.

"I'm a strong believer in free enterprise, so my natural instinct is to oppose government intervention," he said. But "these are not normal circumstances. The market is not functioning properly. There has been a widespread loss of confidence.

"Without immediate action by Congress, America can slip into a major panic." Watch Bush warn of the consequences »

If Congress fails to approve the rescue plan, the nation could face a "long and painful recession," Bush said.

"The plan is big enough to solve a serious problem," Bush said."

The plan calls for the government to buy from firms up to $700 billion in troubled assets -- mainly mortgage-backed securities -- whose values declined as the housing market imploded. The goal is to stabilize the companies and prompt them to lend again. iReport.com: How would you spend $700B?

"The government is the only institution patient enough to buy these assets at their current low prices and hold them until their prices return to normal," he said.

Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke warned Wednesday that the Wall Street crisis is the worst the nation has faced since the end of World War II and urged Congress to take action on a proposed bailout package.

Congress is considering whether to allow Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to use federal funds to buy up to $700 billion in mortgage-related securities and other assets that have caused turbulence on Wall Street and have undermined credit markets worldwide.

But Paulson and Bernanke faced deeply skeptical lawmakers, including members of Bush's own party, when they pitched the plan before congressional committees Tuesday and Wednesday. Watch as lawmakers push back »

The White House had been taken a mostly hard line during the negotiations with Congress, but it is signaling a new spirit of cooperation that suggests the administration realizes the situation is so serious that it will have to compromise in order to get something done.

"This is not take-it-or-leave-it," a senior administration official said earlier Wednesday. "We'll accept changes."

The senior administration official said the president has been contemplating a prime-time speech for several weeks but finally decided to deliver it tonight because he believes that the situation has reached crisis stage.

"This is a bullet you only fire once," the senior official said. "We have reached a point in the process where we just have to get action."
