I searched three pages of this forum and did not see any indication that this has yet been posted. I know many people absolutely despise Glen Beck and think everything he says is pure trash. I just hope, however, that we can all at least watch this with an open mind and really hear the message. What he talks about, we see right here on City Data, Politics and Controversies forum every. single. day.
Is it possible to put the hate aside and just listen? It really doesn't matter if you are left, right or center. It doesn't matter if you are pro Obama or anti Obama. It doesn't matter if you are a die hard Republican or not. What matters is what he is saying. He isn't bashing any side. He's just asking us to listen:
I'm not really interested in listening to a rant from Glenn Beck, or pretty much watching any long video that anyone on the left or right posts here.
I have a suggestion: if you think what he says is important, why don't you summarize the key points and tell us why you think he has something to say.
That's something I'll read, even though I don't promise to agree with it.

I don't watch videos of people I despise. No matter if 1% of what they say is correct. I am sure even Hitler or Stalin said something correct occasionally. Should anyone have listened to them, though?
Whatever he could say that is correct, others have certainly said the same already, others that I don't despise. Beck is obsolete...
As I will not listen to Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, who, by the way, has proven time and time again what a raving idiot he really is.
But I don't listen to Glenn Beck or Limbaugh. O'Reilly has proven to be middle of the road.

I agree...the Becks of the world are the problem,not the answer
I see we received the expected reaction from the real intolerant ones in our society. For all the hate you have for Beck, maybe it wouldve made sense to actually listen or watch once and a while. Hes not a GOP flag carrier. He's always going after both sides. You just cant take someone dare going after your side, no matter what.
The fact is, this country is in trouble, its been in trouble. Some of you are just so hell bent on keeping the establishment in power, the same ones that get us in mess after mess. The same ones who are self serving jerks. Yet you hate and bash Beck, who isnt always right (are we/you?) sometimes says things he shouldnt (dont we all)...

It is not about whether he says some correct things or not. He is just taboo for many people, regardless of what he says. If someone else says exactly the same as he does, he or she might be listened to if they are not taboo, yet.
Ignoring Beck etc. is a matter of principle.
