You can like or not like Beck without the lies or misrepresentations.


Liberals
To be anyting less than an Obama cheerleader
makes you an Obama hater. They have been
blinded by love.

He's sickening.

Makes me want to puke, and I don't give a damn if he criticizes every party in existence, the man is a creepy weirdo. Some peoples' psychosis transcends party lines, and a few other things, too.

Haven't watched his show, partly because I avoid the commentary shows--I think they're all BS, myself. But he's the only guy I haven't sat through yet.

Beck is on a level with Olbermann and Maddow, just a ridiculous shill who aims for the lowest common denominator of the base. Yeah, he's a little more entertaining than those two lightweights on MSNBC but only because he has better material to work with.

I watch Glenn Beck every day and never heard him say how America hates Obama...but even though I'm not affiliated with the Glenn Beck show, I'd like to take this moment to thank you for contributing to his stellar ratings.

He reminds me of Vinny the Sham-wow guy.

Very seriously, he's a voice of reason—though admittedly a very melodramatic one.

I used to watch him when he was still politically neutral during the Bush years. But he lost it last year during the campaign when Huckabee questioned Romney's Mormon faith. It hit Beck like a sledge hammer because he is a Mormon himself, and he took it as a personal insult. I don't know if that had anything to do with his political shift, but that is the same time when it happened. I have not heard anything by partisan BS from him ever since. Maybe that was the same time when he signed the contract with FOX, and was told to go on full attack against Dems.

He makes his money on saying things that a certain segment of the population want to hear. He is in the same boat with Maher, Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity and FOX. Of course Maher is on the other side of the isle, but is still on the same boat in the sense that he spews misinformation for living, just like the others.

Thumbs down.
