Beck is a very zany character so they call him crazy.His view that obama is deliberately trying to destroy the economy to rebuild it as something else sounds to much like a conspiracy theory.You may disagree with some of his conclusions but he is uncovering some hard facts. So instead of addressing whether obama has picked many socialist mao lovers and other extremist to important positions they focus on becks personality. Its because they want to live in a world where everyone thinks the same way, despite how much they claim to embace diversity.Some people are just bitter and filled with hate and i guess have little hope and cannot change.

That talk is not productive. It is hateful and divisive.
Yeah, and that guy who killed the three police officers because he thought "Obama was coming to take his guns away" had been LISTENING TO GLENN BECK way tooooooooo much.

I would appreciate it if you would specifically post what Glen Beck has said or stands for that is dillusional. The fact is that people are becoming closely informed on this administration and realizing that the Transparency, hope and change and yes we can is a joke.
Obama has escalated the war, Lined the corporate fat cats pockets with some stash, and devalued this great country. Not to mention, quadrupled the U.S. debt. Not one damn job produced either.
We have some history to learn from on this situation. FDR, go read some of our past and report back to me.
Semper Fi
Ya know, I should really stop obliterating dumb posts like this, because it's a waste of time. Oh what the hell though, I'm bored. Let's go through this bit by bit.

Because not everything is black and white. Duh.

That's what I say every time someone comes to me with information from Glenn Beck.

Jesus Christ, can you people NOT ****ING READ?!? I posted a link from Snopes showing the kind of delusional **** Glenn Beck spews.

No wonder you can't debate with these fools. They ask for proof that their leaders are morons and when you give it to them they just stuff their fingers in their ears and go "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

Quote:

"Glenn Beck" and "informed" don't go together. Again, please refer to the link I posted.

Quote:
Obama has escalated the war,
He did exactly what he said he was going to do during his campaign. If you don't like it, fine, but he told us from the start that he planned to do that.

Quote:

Yeah, damn Obama and that first bailout that had practically no restrictions attached to it and did nothing for the economy!

Oh wait, that was Bush that did that. Obama was the one who did the bailout that actually had some teeth to it and did some good. Oh yeah, have you not been watching the real news? A slew of those banks have already repaid most or all of the money loaned to them.

Quote:
and devalued this great country.
Yeah, because we were so much better off before.

Quote:
Not to mention, quadrupled the U.S. debt.


Quote:

Double Utterly laughable.

Quote:

You mean the same FDR who is largely considered one of the best presidents in our history, who pulled us out of the great depression and brought magnitudes of positive change for the country on top of leading us through the most violent war in history.

If Obama turns out to be half the president FDR was, I'll be ****ing ecstatic.

I've been doing that for quite sometime now. Hell, let me reiterate it for you.

Anyone who turns to Glenn Beck to become "informed" is a Grade-A Idiot.

I hope that's in plain enough english for you. You're more than welcome to continue listening to the head idiot, just don't cry foul when we treat you and your opinions as such.

Truth...ignored or ommitted by the former...MSM.

And...so too, MILLIONS.... would much rather hear it EVERYDAY instead....ON FOX NEWS.
I know...it's Faux news to you.....because, like a good ostrich....you all keep your heads buried in the sand. Sadly......your still a noisy bird that many people wish....would just shut up....and LISTEN....if you would ever decide to pop your beaks up long enough to think outside of your little box.
I KNOW this is asking too much, but I had to try.

And...if it is NOT....the TRUTH that Fox is reporting......then WHY hasn't GB and Fox News been sued for libel and slander by now?
WHY?
WHY is THIS administration so "fearful" of GB and Fox News?
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE in THIS admin?

The TRUTH hurts though and many can see how horribly it upsets some to have to FACE IT.

And all "few" MILLION.....of his DAILY viewers perhaps......SEE a real possibility of YOUR kind.....making damn sure those "end of times" equates to the fundamental change a lot of Americans (FOOLS) voted for for thesedays.
END of an era for sure.
End of times?
Well....just the good ones, IMO.

AND....it IS YOUR opinion....as to whether or not some "talk" is hateful or divisive.
Perhaps......it IS the AGENDA of the Libs/Proggies, the Dems, Pelosi, Reid, Gore, THIS POTUS and Soros.....that are creating this hateful and divisive climate you all feel is getting warmer too.
It couldn't be that non-productive generic, Commie, facist, intimidating, Chicago thug-style
CRAP increasingly being FORCED onto Americans NOW more than EVER....that.......just might be creating such a divisive and hateful climate that you feel.

NEVER!

YOU guys would never believe it could be this.....so, IMO....it IS YOU....who ARE all the delusional ones.
GB...is just a nut in his particular style of delivery.....but a nut CAN still be honest and truthful to the delusional, uninformed and those misguided by their loyal partisanship too.

Please...

Get a grip.

Beck is an entertainer, nothing more. And he's proven repeatedly that he'll go to almost any length to generate viewership. The saddest thing about the Beck phenomenon is that millions of otherwise functional Americans tune in to get a daily dose of paranoia, anger, and hatred. And consider that entertaining. Some even think it's informing.

He looks at the world through such a black and white point of view that is actually quite common among those that live in middle America. What they fail to comprehend is that a large segment of the population is not starkly liberal NOR very religious. FOX needs to move on and stop tricking the sheep with wedge issues that hold little meaning. The chalkboard idea is HUMOROUS, though.

Beck has figured out the code and that pisses those on the extreme left off to no end. Otherwise, you wouldn't be coming on here like endless others griping, whining, moaning, and bitching about him all the time. Keep posting, his ratings are skyrocketing and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Go Beck!

Lightbulb Glenn Beck is DELUSIONAL

Look, people...

Beck is definitely not delusional.

Those who take his silliness seriously definitely ARE, though.

The tinfoil industry is a big backer of his.
