Beck about as useful to this society as toenail fungus.
Can you tell me some of the information you used to arrive at that conclusion? It should be really interesting since I am sure you didn't read the link and said only the kind of crap that lefties here repeat after reading the Soros sites that were created to destroy Beck and Fox News. These people never know what he said only what Media Matters or Think Progress say he said.

You're right. I guess Glen Beck only draws enough people to book the smaller venues. Hopefully soon he'll be speaking in coffeeshops, and eventually living rooms.

How do you know about what it was? You weren't there and you haven't read anything about it unless Media Matters and Think Progress have talked about it and they never tell a lot of truth about Beck. They just twist and turn his words to sound like something their benefactor, George Soros, would appreciate.

Did you get all those hopefullys from one of the Soros sites? Damn, I will be communicating with Beck and suggesting that he hold his meetings in bigger sites, like maybe Madison Square Garden. Well, that may be kind of stupid when NYC is a hotbed of left leaners.

Most people would agree that Glen Beck's words can be taken at face value. No exageration or distortion is necessary to discern the true content or meaning.

Soros? You mean the Holocaust survivor who has dedicated much of his life and fortune to the cause of social justice? Soros? The man that Beck attempted to vilify in an anti-semitic rant he had to apologize for? Sorry, Beck isn't in the same universe as Soros. Soros has dedicated himself to fight for the disadvantaged. Beck seeks to only advantage himself.

And, no, I don't read any site that Soros is involved with. Just because Fox tells you what to think doesn't mean there is a liberal equivalency. I come to my own conclusions about worthless Glen Beck without "help" from George Soros or any other liberal site.

I did what you frequently suggest-- I watched Beck. I'm not much for revisionist history, demagoguery or pandering... so I decided my time was better spent NOT watching Beck.

well dah.. what would you expect to see in a place with a stage, and seats, and a paying customer base that sits there and watches?

Do you think they were gathering for an interactive football game?

LOL, they made 400---guess you forgot the last 0. Hey, you would make a great lib anchor for the news.

[LEFT]"That's how serious I am about eating healthy," he said, mocking the government.
An assistant then wheeled out a cart of 400 more sandwiches to further illustrate the problem.
"I asked them for 3,000, one for everyone -- but they could only make 400," he said.
