Granted, I rarely watch FOX News or cable, seeing as I don't have it. However many people state he's a complete fear-mongering liar. Is it true he spews nothing but lies? That he has no points whatsoever? Have any of you perhaps researched the issues that he brings up on his show? You see, I'm usually skeptical, I sympathize with a mahority of his views... but I'm very skeptical of the issues and facts he presents. Even if I already agree with someone 100% I'm NOT going to lap it all up without verifying his facts or reasonably understanding his thoughts/notions.
Now, I'm NOT experienced in what Beck says, so don't debate me on it. I do want to know if you think everything Beck says is nothing but lies or if he might just have some things riight.
Your thoughts?
Good God, is that all you can get the guy on? He claimed that he had "held" a document that he had only actually looked at? Is that the best you can do? Is that even an "issue"?
You guys claiming that Beck "lies all the time" have just lost any credibility you had with me.
Right. This is why I despise the lot of them. Many viewers are too lazy to find the truth and willing accept whatever these propagandists say. And no one does it better than Glenn. He is the master of spin and drama and so many fall for his idiotic claims.
I do know that he fake cried a few times, and that's a sizable "no-no" in my book. If you're honestly going to cry, then cry. But if it's fake, and I understand them as fake, then we have an issue. I like honest emotion, not fakeness.
Some issue have merit imo. I was at my college and watching one of his shows and he stated that words like "caveman, chairman" and such were being stripped out of textbooks from a state that I cannot recall---the issue stuck in my mind, though. I also heard that certain school lunch foods were being banned but again I don't recall the setting---I don't recall the location and the names of the schools. Issues like those can easily be researched, I can imagine.
When did he fake cry?
If you're talking about him using Vicks to cry, that is true, but not for the reason you might think. It was for a photo shoot of him crying. He couldn't cry without it. That just proves he can't fake cry.
But a lot of progressive liberals do believe the government should regulate major aspects of society.
I agree that not all liberals think that way, but MANY do. You don't see conservatives who believe in big government, communism, wealth distribution, and the taxing of CO2. Who appeared at the liberal "One Nation" rally? It was the Communist and Socialist parties of Amercia. That, to me, is a red flag.
I think the Democratic party has been taken over by the far left and yes, socialists/communists. They need to take their party back, like the conservatives are taking back the republican party with the help of the Tea Party.
I watched his show a few nights ago and I couldn't stand the communist theories.. It made me feel it was 1984 and we were in the Cold War again.
So in essence..
Democrats, too far left, needs to shift to the right
Republicans, too far left, needs to shift to the right
I guess you could put it that way. The republicans started spending like Dems and needed to be reined in.
Is he saying that about all liberals or is he just suggesting that some liberals think that?

Why not let people be who they are instead of wanting them to shift towards your preference?

Being older than Glenn and getting into the Business since Glenn was 5years old when I got into Radio the first time. And i do know the business better than some and having done what he does as well as being a reporter I know how to research a story, and I can tell you that so far I have found Glenn to be a liar.
I figured he wasn't 100% true all the time; then again, I don't watch his show much at all.
He does get a bit more emotional than I would prefer but that's him.
My thoughts too. At times I think he fake cries; sometimes they seem genuine, though.
I have seen over and over Liberals calling him a liar so I have this question.
When George Soros is seen on video saying he rather enjoyed watching Jews being taken away to death camps, is that Glenn Beck being a liar, or Sosros being a dirty bastard?
When Glenn shows a video of Obama saying he can't say anything bad about Rev Wright who is a preacher of Black Liberation Theology which is rooted in Anti-American Marxism is Glenn lying?
The answer id HELL NO!
What the trouble is Liberals can't handle or deal the truth, so they try to obfuscate.
Interesting.
I know that's a big word so look it up.
Those are good points. The mans facts are solid, his conclusions based on them, well, might not be.
But nobody can be called a liar based on their opinions and anyone calling him that, or anyone that based on someone's opinions, is a true moron. Its much more a reflection on THAT person, than on Glenn Beck.
That's his bluff. Those who do the research, find it's BS. His followers don't do the research, are even reassured by his statement and are sucked into his scam, such as his gold fraud.
