with the sound off , which I thought might might make him bearable .I had just finished an eight-hour stint of cartoons with the Grandaughter who is sickly.Now,THAT ain't a real hard act to follow!

Anyhow , after about three minutes of watching his facial contortions , I swear it was just like watching a soap opera muted !

Then I switched to Chris Matthews to find out if the O'Reilly/Obama love in had started him tingling again and......... damn if he wasn't talkin' about Beck !

I know Beck has done a lot of good , but the "drama queen" bit is more than I can abide .
Now that's F'n funny
At least Beck is airing subjects no other media outlet would dare expose to the American people.

Ya....like how the far left is gonna have Obama assissinated over the fall 2010 election results.

Perhaps you meant assassinated and not assissinated.LOL.

You shouldn't be so quick to make such quips. History has taught us that lefties are the ones who resort to such extreme measures.The radical left,which has become the norm today,are the ones who assassinated JFK and his younger brother Robert.
only if you consider the Mob a conservative, rightist organization

Beck can be a little dramatic now and then, well more more than that, but I agree, he brings material forward NOBODY else would touch. And you know what, if he was wrong about the things he says, and didn't have back-up research, he would be canceled. He's still on the air....
What he said..... In spades..
Beck is alot like Palin. Utterly feared by the left for speaking the truth. The only one who does it better is the Guy From Boston. http://www.theguyfromboston.net/Rants/2009/44thPresident.html
I agree! Sometimes he's hard to watch but he keeps airing things that the left doesn't want the average sheeple to know about! Plus he keeps madcow and huffington's panties in a knot!
Sarah Darlin' sparks no negative feelings in me at all .With the sound off,or the sound on .

[My fingers kept tryin' to type ,"clothes off , or clothes on"]
One has to remember that all political shows intend to create controversy & air opinions that attract viewers & listeners. This has to be taken into account when watching. The days of my youth when there were 3 TV channels & Walter Cronkite basically read the daily news have long been over.
Watching Glenn Beck is like vomiting - it's good when it stops.

Beck doesn't fear George Soros, either. He's pretty good and anti violence. Something the left is not. (ELF, Planned Parenthood, Black Panthers, Anarchist's, etc.)
Becks viewership has dropped 40% recently. Either people realize most his predicted outcomes are nuts or all the nutty people are outside shovelling snow. Look for him to get even crazier trying to bring em back in and in doing so take himself down the toilet.
I appreciate what he does. No one else digs up the actual words of the "Innocent" posers who would do us harm.

Fore warned is fore armed.
Posted By: Wook Re: Watching Glenn Beck.......... - 02/08/11
Where'd you hear the 40% drop in viewership? Maybe its because we played smear the queer with the Dems in November, people aren't as riled-up.

For me, he's brought to light and explained a lot about some of the players in gov and policy making that I wouldn't know about without him shining the light on them.


Wook
Beck is an ex morning Zoo keeper who has found his niche:
The personal savior of the middle class ! ?

I don't need to listen to his whine.

I can certainly relate to his past. But his "values" and religion are not mine.

I heard, or read, his ratings were down 30%, not 40%. I'm surprised they aren't lower. He's worse than O'Rielly.
I used to watch Glenn Beck's show when he was on CNN and when he moved to FNC. He was telling us (all of us) things we would not have heard about those in our goverment (not just the top dogs) and teaching us history as it really is, not what the MSM and the revisionist historians want allow us to know. That said . . . I can hardly bring myself to watch him anymore. Not because of how he says what he says, but because of what he says. Not because I believe he is telling us lies, but because what he is telling us is more truthful than I want to believe. When Glenn was beginning to "expose" Vann Jones, and others for what they are, about a year and a half ago, I felt like I had been punched in the gut and had to turn off that show. I have watched the show very little since then. I do feel Glenn is doing a great job of exposing the "truth" to the American people. The problem is (for me anyhow) that many people "can't handle the truth". I can handle it, just not in such large doses. I find it difficult to believe so many that run or government are such evil people. Maybe I'm just an idiot, but, as Glenn has said over and over - I still believe in the American People, just a lot fewer of them.

I was wrong his ratings are down 50% and this article gives reasons, read it and weep:

Hey Spanok.....I read your link. Imagine that.....fear, anger, and the constant pitch that the sky is falling IS NOT a winner for ratings. What the heck is happening to this country?

In my opinion Beck is not a good mouthpiece for Conservatism. He is a doom and gloom, conspiracy theorist whose childish delivery prompts well deserved criticism from the Left.

The sooner he fades the better.

As Pogo said, "we has met the enemy and he is us".

Just because the word "Conservative" is thrown in the mix, it's supposed to be all good we are to assume and thus follow blindly just because?

edited to add; A little bit of Beck tends to go a long way.
Anyone that puts faith in the 'Lamestream Media' today has an IQ equal to the temperature in Nome, Alaska on a very cold day in January!!

Rush.
My view on Beck started this thread .Given a choice between watching 30 minutes of him , or reading 30 minutes of YOU , I'd be pushing his numbers upward !grin
I like Rush too and think that both have their places. Both put out a good message but have different styles. I am all for anybody that can slow down bigger government. miles

Those who subscribe to the doom and gloom, sky is falling, markets are rigged, scenario are well served listening to fellow whiner Beck.
Beck is always asking people to prove him wrong. So far there have been no takers. miles
Setting aside conclusions (I draw my own), what information has he put out that that is wrong?

Like some hear who should know better, they attack the messenger but have nothing to say about the message.

Posted By: CCCC Re: Watching Glenn Beck.......... - 02/08/11
Style is one thing - that is personal and may or may not be appreciated.

Content is another - and that is not personal - it goes to factual determinations (how is he doing?)

Effect is yet something else - and that can be both/either personal and impersonal (how is he doing?)

I can't answer that one because I don't know how ratings are determined in the first place. Is it by calling people to see what they are watching? How do they determine who they call? Is it by advertising sales? Maybe people are broke. I don't know. I seldom watch him because of the time he comes on TV. I listen to him if I am in a vehicle going somewhere and can pick up a channel that carries him. That is getting harder to do. You can find a channel that carries him and Rush and in a few months there are other channels bleeding over on them. Conspiracy? Maybe (probably) is the governments fault. miles

Yup. I still turn on his program now and then, and then get gut punched again. Just too much at once. I do believe what he says. I just gotta have a life too.

Here is the example of the typical liberal idiot. The statement was made that Beck backs up what he says, and nobody proves him wrong. So instead of commenting on that, he diverts to meaningless crap, "probably because no one is watching". Well that isn't true, and he knows it. Beck has higher ratings than the douchebags on MSNBC or CNN.

You can't argue with idiots, you can' argue with liberals.

Spanky,
That Politics USA is a "liberal" site that takes its hints from the Soros-funded Media Matters. Give us a freaking break, and a little credit, [bleep].
With the election over, with a victory for now, with the power of the pinko revolution blunted, the level of interest in politics always wanes.
I don't love Beck's histrionics, but he does fill a niche -- and he was stomping Obagmann in the ratings.

What makes you think you know what the hell "conservatism" is?

Just askin'!! tired
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.

Beck's crying doesn't help,,,too much. As Wyogal said, a little of him goes a long way.
There is a lot of thoughtful comment in this thread. I doubt we could agree on the best movie, book, rifle, or counselor. Truth is truth however it is presented. Most of us want the white paper version with less gymnastics. Mys sister-in-law loves Beck because he is smart and looks cuddly! Oh well. He makes me think about subjects I did not know existed in some cases so I am thankful. I wish I did not have to watch 20 minutes of gold commercials for 40 minutes of programming - but someone has to pay the bills.
Perception is reality as is 'truth'. Ask your boss.

I refuse to confirm or deny what I believe in. What bearing does that have on the present discussion?

I will say I do not like Beck but I can see why he would appeal to someone of your brilliance.

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.

1B
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.

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.
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
Exactly.
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.
I'll take that as a compliment.
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.

I have come face to face with the enemy and he is me!
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?

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.

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.

Miles, stepping away from this 'serious stuff' for a moment, I've been meaning to ask you about the latest on the "Farm" they were trying to put next to you. Any positives from your side on it? Did you guys get it halted?

Then we can get back to swapping insyuts w/each other!
They got the permit but do not have the ponds built and all of the stuff that go's with it. The latest on ADEQ's website is that they asked for and received a six month extension on having the monitoring well put in. Time is out ally as it seems like most of this stuff is going to reclamation and reuse of the water. Thanks for asking. miles
Can assure you (fwiw) that reuse of the water is about mandatory, for costs reasons if for no other. Hope time buys you guys a lot in the halting. Things are winding down a bit in the Haynesville for 2 co.s. Water (getting it) is part of the issue.

Wonder what Beck would have to say about that! heh.
It would probably depend on whether they were putting the water next to him or not. That said, I would not have much of a problem with it if they could show me where their farm is the only one they would damage. They tried but could not. Best they could come up with is "we are going to do it better than the other twelve landfarms in the state". miles
That's less than a small comfort.

Get a trackhoe and dig a 2' wide, 3' deep ditch along your side of the property line and angle it ~ 6 degress, front to back of property.Spread the dirt.
Problem is two large drainage's come off that property on to mine. I share a half mile border with them. miles
Thus the ditch and see if you can get them to pay for it.
I understand what you are saying but it won't work. Even if I dig a ditch along the property line the water would just run into a creek and would come on me anyway. The creek then runs across me for 1/4 mile. miles

I agree, the reason his viewership has fallen is because he distorts facts and is a crybaby. It's amazing to me that anybody watches his show. It's entertaining for the first 30 seconds, which is about how long it takes a reasonable person to realize watching more is a complete waste of time.
Now,,,Paddler,, that right there is HERESY!
remember what i said 2 days ago KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
the more Glen exposes the less power ,or suprise the democrats and rad muslims have ,continue to learn it won't hurt
Like we don't know this stuff already? The people that glorify this panderer and are his disciples already know that. The people that have never or don't watch dont care anyway.
One can learn a great deal from Beck.....is he emotional? Hail yea! But, don't tell us Old Toot that you know everything Beck brings to his show.

Like, you knew all about O and his cabinet and those that offer advice/consent.

LMAO!
I know enough to vote against bho and his gang. And,,,,I know how to use the internet. Tell me again why I need Beck, Mr. Disciple?

You and others mostly like the drama. It's showtime for ya'll.

Yeah, miles, Beck is only one who put that out. The ONLY one. No one here has to or even needs to watch him,,,we can just pm you and StanV, both bishops in the Church of Beck..and get all of the "latest, hot news".

Don't know that I am up to bishop status yet. I rarely watch him and just listen on the radio when I am in a vehicle. I do wonder why so many people are interested in shutting him up. If you do not like him, don't watch or listen, but why try to keep his message from getting out. Makes me think that you are undercover for the other side. miles
Told you before, TWICE, even, I like the message, it's the messenger I don't like. Like O'Reilly, he's a hack and a book salesman..........and a d*mn good one, too.

Keep on being a missionary in his behalf and you're gonna convert me, miles!!!!!!!!
I still don't see why the desire to run him out of business, just don't watch. miles
I never said run him out of business, others may have, don't know, don't care. This is America and he sells what lots of folks like and buy, obviously. Just look here at his devout following at The Campfire.
Beck doesn't bother me. Hardball, Madcow and the rest should really cause your blood pressure to spike....do they bother you?
Hooooo, boy, do they! You forgot Mr. Wonderful, Olbermann.

With them, though, it's the spin of the message, not the presentation so much,,,,except for hardball.

Beck represents the worst of the Conservative movement. It is commentators of his stripe that open intelligent Conservatives to ridicule from those we need to attract if we are to defeat BHO.

It is surprising and discouraging that he finds support here.

I suppose the knuckledraggers will pimp him for Perky's VP choice.

Keep hanging left and you come back full circle to the right.

Just remember that Jim Jones had his followers, too, Bishop Miles.

Yep, he (Jones) had both a message and a "devout" following that fawned over him (the messenger). See any parallels here, St. Miles?
There's a reason GB says stuff that nobody else does. It's because he pulls it out of his arse. His ratings are falling because more and more people are seeing that. His followers don't get that he's not trying to inform, but rather inflame while laughing his way to the bank.

I listened to him one time, and that was enough to see he's full of crap. But he has his audience composed of fearful, reactionary conspiracy theorists. I don't care if he's on the air or not, he's a panderer to an ever-shrinking audience, and his "message" is a bucket of smoke.
I can tell that you are one of the fascist progressives by how you attack Beck. You don't have any specifics, just how he makes you feel. If you had any serious complaints about what Beck says you would provide them and the facts to back your argument up.

Beck provides unique information that is devastating the Obama and his band of progressive fascists. They count on people forgetting the past and not doing deep analysis of their actions and words. That is how Obama and the progressives pretended to be moderates so they could lie their way into power.

Beck exposes the true. How the progressive fascists failed to keep campaign promises because they said what every it took to trick the voters. How they camouflage their true goals of destroying our country so they can build their socialist fascist paradise. How the news media, for the most part, are journo-lists cooperated with propaganda and lies to support their progressive buddies. That the true evil nature of the progressive fascists is show by their history and actions. Like Obama attending a church where the religion is a combination of racism, hatred and communism which Obama pretended to not have noticed.

There is no other source for this vital information and Beck delivers it with a verve and style that is just devastating to the progressive fascists. That is why they attack him without resorting the the facts. Just "he lies" or "makes me vomit". They follow the Goebell's school of political discourse. Look at Michael Moore with his lying anti-american propaganda films.

So unless you have a something serious to complain about Beck you should just keep your mouth shut. We have way too many progressive fascists to deal with in the world as it is.

Pretty much sums it up for me. I have no problem with Beck's message. But his delivery model makes my blood boil. I actually liked him back when he was on CNN... he was more affable, more of an iconoclast. His current format strikes me as silly at best, and inflammatory at worst.

So I don't watch him, vote with my remote controller. No big deal. Those who like Beck, more power to ya.

Perhaps I'm just more insightful than the fearful, right wing extremists on this site, Miles. I'm frankly surprised anybody can listen to him, as that doesn't speak well of their intelligence. He's a D-bag, but will be on the air so long is it profits Fox. His being on the air is a purely financial decision and has nothing to do with the truth or lies he spews. It's just business, and is not taken seriously by the public at large. It seems to fulfill some need in a certain demographic that needs something to hate.

I'm a moderate, and so am extremely pleased that Obama is POTUS. Palin is an idiot, and her relevance continues to erode. Good news for all of us. grin

Miles, we are back to the earlier analogy I gave of having to eat a schitt sandwich in order to enjoy good bread. The MESSAGE comes from many different sources, not just from your hero in residence, one Mr. Beck.

Think on that a spell before you reply.
Beck and his staff do research and put out information that remains unchallenged and is not published anywhere else. That alone justifies his media existence.

Must be published somewhere else if they researched it. Jus sayin.
Too bad you missed his "Remember the Alamo" segment last night. Tune in this evening for follow up.

Again, you call him a liar, yet offer no proof. Not even a hint about something he lied about. Every show he begs to be proven wrong. It would get you your few seconds of fame you seem to want. miles
Why does it bother you so that other people listen to him? You admit he is right. Do you think everybody should be cloned from you, to think like you? Sounds German to me. miles
DFTFT

I would bet that most who believe in him and swallow his bilge have little education and less intelligence.

Conversely those who see Beck for the boob he is probably have advanced degrees and large net worths. Prove me wrong.
No dog in this fight but most of the people I've seen around here with advanced degrees (Yale or Harvard MBA's, PHD's etc)and large net worths are usually lib azz holes..

Miles, it doesn't bother me at all what your tasteless taste in reporting are nor who makes their choices to listen or not to listen. It's folks like you and tolegriz that feed the notion of knuckledraggers following this turd around. If he's your cup of scotch, drink it, enjoy it and call it good. Keep your worship level of him too high and you're gonna wind up with a case of the blue balls.

Funny how anyone here who disagrees is labeled as "the enemy" and "out of the club",,,,Good.

I am just trying to understand why you spend so much time telling me not to listen to him. What are you scared that I am going to hear. I doubt that he will mention you at all. I, on the other hand, don't care what you do. I am sixty-three years old and I can make up my own mind about who I listen to or not. miles

No one here ever told YOU NOT TO LISTEN, Miles. No one. Turn it up loud as you want.

I'm happy that you will leave me to my own decisions and that you don't care about them. That's good. We're now square.
How the [bleep] did you come up with that conclusion? The last time I heard from the campfire threads about him, Dr. Howell did not have a large net worth but he does have a wealth of friends and admirers. Bye..
Uhhh, CJ,,I could have sworn you mentioned highly educated types, Phd's, etc.

That's how I got it,,straight from you. Bye..

You just proved me right with your deplorable and cliched use of the English language. Also the sarcasm in my comment, "Prove me wrong" sailed right over your intelligence level.

Beck worshipers are insecure peasants of limited means who cling to the words of a leader who is maybe one rung higher than they on the socio-economic scale.
You are simply a silly ass.
Beck is ranting as we speak. But everything he is saying is right on the money.

You ain't the first smart-assed sumbitch I've run across who has been educated beyond the level of his intelligence .You never did get back to me about how many lives would be adversely affected if you didn't show up for work for a month .

It's for damn sure you would rate lower than the trash man judged by that criteria .

BTw - I joined Mensa but got bored with it - buncha one-dimensional eggheads for the most part .

Never heard you ask me that question, but the answer is exactly none, because I don't show up for work because all that education allowed me the luxury to never have to work again.

...and you?

Interesting. There must be a correlation, negative at that, between those holding advanced degrees and GB devotees. While intelligence and advanced degrees do not guarantee high net worth, and there are many with high net worth aren't necessarily bright, it's probably true that high intelligence does translate into higher earning power.

Take me, for instance. I hold advanced degrees from a couple of universities, have a decent net worth, and can't waste time watching GB. Intelligent guys don't buy his crap. As a matter of fact, I enjoy enough discretionary income to have purchased >$12K in guns since Obama took office, despite the rantings of some campfire paranoiacs who said he'd take my guns. Funny how far out of touch you are. Well, not really funny, really more sad, I guess.

Only an arrogant, elitist moron would fail to recognize that as TIC. Jeez you guys are full of yourselves.
Neighbor , I don't know what prompts your feeling sorry for me .Maybe you havn't noticed that I started this thread and my original post pointed out thay I can't stand watching Beck .

As far as net worth , if it cost a hundred dollars to go around the world , I couldn't get out of the county .But I wouldn't trade places with one of you "elitists".There's a real good chance that I've got some rifles that will out-shoot anything you or Spanky has.

And liking ,or disliking ,Beck has not a damn thing to do with intelligence or wealth anymore than a man's taste in music .Some of these posters on this thread that like Beck are likely smarter than you.

And they would make a helluva lot better hunting companions.
A man that feels that it is necessary to tell everyone how smart he is, probably is not. Education has nothing to do with intelligence but most times it does not subtract from it. Some on here may prove me wrong. miles
