Spano,
Beck always calls for anyone listening or watching to do their own research. He presents his views and in case you haven't watched him lately he does his homework. Today he has encouraged all to do some critical thinking about the topic this evening.
Becks topic tonight was mostly the Muslim Brotherhood, its founders and some of its members and how they along with the NON traditional American left loonies (your state is full of them), and the communists and socialists joining them worldwide are intentionally creating confusion and using it as a tool to destabilize governments whereever they can.
How can you say that is gloom and doom? He ain't standing in the streets in Cairo. I am sure you have seen what is going on in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Jordan, Iran, and Pakistan.
I can see your point somewhat because he is always calling out some political stooge or pointing out who supports them and what their agendas appear to be and he does it with facts.
He even challenges the White House on the Red Phone to call him if he says something that isn't right. If I don't want to watch him I change the channel. If I want to watch something or someone real stupid and off the chart I watch Lawrence O'Donnel, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman,
Ed Shultz, or Rachel.
It would be interesting to see what kind of ratings the last 5 have in CA. You guys out there on the left coast need to elect some responsible fiscally prudent leader to get Sacremento under control.
When CA comes to the US taxpayer for a bailout in might be prudent to be out of the market when the moderates and conservatives say no.


I know you did not address the belief reply to me and I agree it has no bearing however someone who appears to have a good grip in what is going on at least in the financial markets as you do I respect your opinion but in the case of your opinion of Beck we disagree. Please see above.
I would agree sometimes and on some topics a little of him goes a long way. It is tough even though he is truthful and factually backs up his reporting to stay positive if a guy listens to too much of it however that doesn't make him wrong either.

Beck spent too much time looking at videotapes of Bishop Sheen programs from the 50s and 60s and not enough getting his ego under control. I expect him to come in swirling his cape someday and his lecturing at blackboards style is pathetic.

His ratings are explained by the dim bulb programming running against him. Peopele also watch hoot and howl preachers trying to pick their pockets and 'reality' TV like NJ housewives....

You just cannot insult the intelligence of the US public.

I watched Beck display a time line starting from 1776 showing both parties being to the left of the working populace. Some politicians, that pretend to be conservative, he has shown to be left of center. Beck will tell ya real quick, if you line your pockets with silver at the expense of the country, you are far left of the working man and there is nothing conservative about that. To me his emotion sometimes interferes with the presentation. The importance and truth on his issues always get delivered though.


The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

From a website that boasts "Real Liberal Politics", and leads off with a Rachel Maddow story, can it be wrong? Most likely. I don't know when real liberals aren't wrong.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

As shooters, sportsmen and Americans we need to be a unified group. You may not like Beck's delivery but his exposure of the dark side has benefitted us all. Give the guy and the rest of us a break and shut the H E double L up!

I have heard a lot of pizzin and moaning about how people can't hardly listen to Beck, but it seems that they do anyway. I have yet for anybody to point out where he is wrong. miles

From the description of the blog author

Jason(Easley) has a Bachelor�s Degree in Political Science. His graduate work focused on public policy, with a specialization in social reform movements.

Kind of speaks for itself.

I like what he has to say most of the time, even enjoyed a few of his books, but I have to admit, the dudes mannerisms remind me of a Muppet.

Just sayin'.....

Beck isn't that bad. He appeals to the same audience as Palin does.

Mr Spinach-copter, you sound more like a liberal than a conservative. No-one is good enough for you to listen to? Tell me, is there anyone in broadcast media that you don't slam?
To a One, all people are flawed, unless you are the second coming of Jesus maybe you ought to be a little less critical of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. Heck just broadcast your own show. Then people such as yourself can pick at every little piece of lint on your garment.

Do you think for a minute, you would have learned about the Muslim Brotherhood watching the normal news programs? Do you think you would have learned about the corrupt people Hussein has working for him by watching the normal news? Do you think you would have learned more about the Constitution and what the Founding Fathers had intended by watching the normal news?

As said before, he gets off on a tangent sometimes, is over dramatic sometimes, but he gets to the bottom of issues like no other.

I heard the two most feared people by the left are Beck and Rush, because they have the ability to "think outside the box". They see beyond what goes on, they see the backroom antics.

And for that we "must" tolerate his dramatics, right?

It ain't the message, Wayne, it's the messenger! Get it? You don't have to eat a schitt sandwich in order to enjoy good bread.

No, you're wrong. The whole point is he brings the message forward for all to be aware. If it weren't for him, the public wouldn't know schitt as you put it.

Talk about messenger, listen to the porch monkey in the white house. You want a load of schitt every time he opens his mouth, there you go. Enjoy!

I keep looking over my shoulder into the sky trying to catch a glimpse of Glen Beck's black helicopters that are going to whisk me off to a FEMA Camp. So far, I haven't seen one. Any luck with the rest of you?

Beck and Palin appeal to the less informed and intelligent contingent of the Conservative movement. This is not necessarily a bad thing as every army needs grunts.

You detractors are just like the people who criticize Rush for things he doesn't actually do, but they don't know any better because they never listen to him themselves.. Obviously you are too intellectually elite to lower yourselves to see what Beck actually says.

So be it, but don't claim you have a clue when you don't.
