How Glenn Beck Screws His Viewers

[cpwill]

Yeah how about it. Obama isn't the antichrist ya know.

i don't think anyone has really called him that.

now, if we want to talk obsessive and deranged hatred, we could discuss the Left's treatment of George Bush his last few years in office; now that was psycho.

What bed? The Republican are going to take over and absolutely nothing is going to change. They will treat the Obama administration like they did the Clinton administration and launch endless probes instead of actually doing anything to help the country. Most laws will still be filibustered and nothing will change.

Great post. Agree 100%.

The American people will screw themselves out of honest debate and pragmatic bipartisan solutions by allowing the endless power tug-o-war to continue. Instead of every 6-8 years, things will flipflop every 2 years. The ebb and flow of American political lean has now been knocked into fast motion because of 24-hours news and the internet.

I wish I had money way back when Glenn started advertising for goldline. Those people are doing pretty well. I doubt they think they got screwed by Glenn.

Watch Brian Ross of ABC News on the subject.

To Lib Lady
When I criticize the Liberal Socialist Progressives - who attack Christians rabidly - I speak of the Leadership. Unless I name a particular "Public" liberal I an directing my opinion at the ideology and the leadership.
I never actually have a criticism of those that are individual Democrats from every day walks of life. I think they have been sold a bill of goods by our Liberal Pro Socialist Media / Press. It is they have provide the information from which most people form their political perspective and attitudes.

There were a few comments I made that were responses to being called a wing nut. I responded in kind - not because I mean it - because I was hoping some people will get the idea how childish there constant name calling and denigration of some one else's opinion or post is.

I have been on other Forums and there always seem to be one or two that I have to wonder if they get some kind of visceral high and feeling of superiority in doing it.

I also speak and include the Socialist Union Leadership - not members; the ACLU which has been engaged in scorch and burn practice against Christianity, Atheist organizations that are trying to stamp out Christianity and Conservatism; the whole or most of the national University Professorial Socialist - pro Marxist Faculty and hundreds of far left anti-American organizations that are trying to transform our nation and eliminate Conservative and Christian practice, belief and free speech.

If all I watched was mainstream news I too would have possibly swallowed and digested their propaganda.

You must have noticed by now that it is the Liberal that is the hater, rhetorical bomb thrower, and in most cases act as echo machines with Bull Horns screaming invective after invective against anybody that is Conservative, Republican or Christian.

"Cyborg", eh?

Very apropos...

No need to tell us who programmed you.

Any sort of rebuttal to his post or are we just going to lean on the ad hom switch like usual?

I've rebutted that exact same or a remarkably similar post multiple times. I suppose I could copy/paste something from a Vicchio thread...

However, I found myself taken aback by how refreshingly honest his name and picture were... Kudos on that.

Look, as a centrist, you must find the far-right...what's the word I'm looking for...less than helpful?

So basically, you are gonna lean on the ad hom button as hard as you can. Glad we cleared that up. :shrug:

You know, lately, I've been accused of being a lefty, perhaps a centrist like yourself would be better suited to handle this one. I'd really like to hear how a true centrist responds to this particular OP.

For me, it's begun to feel like telling the machine welding cars that the vehicles he's(its) working on could be a lot more fuel efficient and last more than five years before needing major repairs. And the machine tells me: "Who cares, STFU, mind your businesses, these cars are the greatest cars in the world...blah, blah, blah..."...

My feeling is, I was just trying to help, make some suggestions, look at things from various points of view, come up with ideas for a better way... But machines don't care. If the idea does not come from their party, (programmer) then forgetaboutit.

My belief is that with the Dems and Reps--the differences are not as striking when you analyze the actions--the serious policy ideas and the votes.

But since 2008, I think a lot of good conservative policy ideas have been held back in favor of political posturing, obstructionists trying to win back power as soon as possible. Instead of molding, shaping the best Healthy Care reform ever, they chose to make the bill a giant talking point to be used at a later date. When the machine mentality takes over, Pragmatic bipartisanship is lost in the tug-o-war. People vote along party lines or to save one's political ass in the next election. The convincing argument from the floor has be replaced with regurgitation of talking points. Both sides guilty.

Even the sunday shows have become more like a rehash all this. There's still a handful of Reps and Dems that will break it down -- pros and cons on a specific policy, but even they succumb to party pressure at the end of the day.

So, forgive me if I too often decide to just paint a silly face on the machine and move on.

Flooding the house and Senate with far-right and tea party candidates won't solve any problems. Maybe I'm wrong on that one. But the revolution coming seems to be more a change of power, than a real change in DC business as usual policy.

And how did any of that address your ad hom against the poster to whom you were responding?

My bad. The right was calling him the "Messiah" sarcastically. Oh wait there were some calling him the Anti-christ:

Obama And The Anti-Christ

now, if we want to talk obsessive and deranged hatred, we could discuss the Left's treatment of George Bush his last few years in office; now that was psycho.

You're absolutely right. However, does that make it right for the other side of the aisle to do it on this president too?

You've got to admit this country is so polarized and whipped into a frenzy by unscrupulous pundits -- that are making money hand of over fist -- that about half of the country has no respect for whomever the CIC is.

Like I said - Beck's so gullible. He's the type to by indulgences for the dead.

I don't think he is as gullible as he sounds. I think he knows exactly what he's doing and making a lot of money off of other gullible people.

He wants to be the next Martin Luther or Henry VIII

Glenn Beck is not at all gullible, however those who follow and worship him are extremely gullible.

I clicked on this thread thinking that there was going to be a video... or at least some pictures.
