It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.

Excellent quote but will fall on deaf ears in P&OC as there are few, if any, open minds here. Except for a few posters, objectivity is absent.

I don't listen to anyone who openly lies, spout false propaganda, and laugh when called to tell the truth.


He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.
o Thomas Jefferson Letter to Peter Carr (19 August 1785)

What has he lied about?
Was it a lie, a misunderstanding, or taken out of context?

Everything predicted on his show, from the facts presented at the time, have unfolded just like described, by him and his guests.

Coincidence?

Sorry, but most of us prefer rational talking heads. I've checked out Beck's radio show, when he was on CNN, and now F.N. I can't stand the guy, but people who like to be scared seem to dig him.

BTW, what's up with Beck losing a third of his audience since January? Perhaps others are starting to see through his B.S.?

The only frightening thing about what he says is that people actually believe him.

You mean people that like to have all the information, not just what you want the Progressive news media selects for you to hear and see. That is your definition of scared?


Where did you hear Glenn has lost 1/3 of his audience? From Media Matters?
That is a rumor with no facts to back it, started by George Soros.
This very subject was investigated and traced back to George Soros, starting a rumor with Ariana Huffington.
"If it gets us where we need to go, look them in the eye and lie through your teeth", said Soros, about rumors he has started, to attack Glenn Beck.


Funding sources

Media Matters initially received "more than $2 million in donations from wealthy liberals" with ties to the Democratic party (including Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, Steve Bing, Marcy Carsey, Susie Tompkins Buell, Leo Hindrey, Gail Furman, and James Hormel) and "was developed with help from the newly formed Center for American Progress". It also has received significant funding from Democracy Alliance (funded in large measure by George Soros), MoveOn.org, and the New Democrat Network.

Why shouldn't they believe him?
He's constantly asking the White Hose to give him a direct call to dispute any or all of his claims or the validity of them.

They NEVER call to deny a thing he says.

And...if he's lying so much.....where are the lawsuits (libel, slander, defamation of character, etc.) against him and Fox News??

GB along with big-government.com are further exposing all of the players on the international stage who are running the show now.....and what there ultimate agenda may consist of.

Where is the PROOF....that, what GB has been saying is not factual or true??

Maybe it's this lack of reply from this administration that has a lot of people worried.

There's a fine line between perception.....and paranoia but if everything GB's show has uncovered so far is even remotely true.......yes it is frightening and appropriate action should be taken to try and soften the blow when we all crash and burn......from whatever might happen as nation after nation falls from their excessive spending habits.....and socialistic ways.

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, far too many take what Mr. Beck (and others) say as 'gospel' and do not do their due diligence with regard to fact-checking. Of course, the MSM isn't reliable either, so, we are pretty much on our own.
