They do fear him. Isnt that obvious? They reacted too quickly into firing Sherrod because of what happened with Van Jones. They didnt want to take a chance on this one. Funny thing, Beck was defending this woman. I guess they didnt see that coming

I've said it many times. Glenn Beck is the most honest person on TV or Radio.

Truth scares the hell out of progressives!

Here are some of Glenn Beck’s claims, all proven completely false by Pulitzer Prize winning site politifact.com:

Labor union president Andy Stern is “most frequent visitor” at the White House.

Less than 10% of Obama’s Cabinet appointees “have any experience in the private sector.”

“Mitt Romney … gave you government health care that is now bankrupting the state” of Massachusetts.

Forty-five percent of doctors “say they’ll quit” if health care reform passes.

“Why do we have automatic citizenship upon birth? We’re the only country in the world that has it.”

“In the health care bill, we’re now offering insurance for dogs.”

John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, “has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.”

Franklin Roosevelt never allocated more than 12 percent of GDP to federal spending, while the percentage for Barack Obama is not projected to drop below 22.8 percent.

Chile ranks third internationally in economic freedom, while the U.S. ranks
17th.

“You don’t know if this (the H1N1 vaccine) is gonna cause neurological damage like it did in the 1970s.”

There are hundreds more of course, but the main point of concern is this:
What happens to education when it is based upon opinions without evidence? What happens to education when poor opinions are disguised as fact?

Glenn Beck’s lies and why we should worry about his “university” « A little more conversation, please

1) Everybody should afraid of Glenn Beck. His irresponsible rantings are likely going ignite the loonier elements in our society to perform acts of domestic terrorism. And that's scary.

2) Iran is a small country many thousands of miles from the US. It's military is relatively small and not very proficient at warfare. Other than the countries in its immediate vicinity,who,exactly, can it "bully",OP?

3) Since we are imposing our will and our beliefs on other countries w/o their asking us to do as such, doesn't that make the US a "bully?" Or doesn't that count?

I think everyone is as afraid of him as they are of Lyndon LaRouche, or anyone mad as a hatter who raving loonies seem to like.

Certainly anyone who thinks diplomacy is just a word for talking while the bombers get there to level every standing structure in the country.
