“I hope people feel goodness from my show and accept me
for who I am, flaws and all.” – Glenn Beck

Based in New York City, Glenn Beck is casting a tall shadow as the next phenomenon of talk radio. The former Top 40 DJ entered the talk format in 2001 and already his show is broadcast nearly 200 stations nationwide. Millions of listeners are drawn to this modern-day story teller who is armed with a quick wit, an informed opinion, and a unique ability to inspire others to experience their full potential with an open heart. His on-air presence is both commanding and inviting – a trait he has been refining for the last 27 years.

>>F5 your generalities of opinion of Glenn fascinates me as it would surprise me if you actually listen to him personally rather than taking other's opinions and slant without presenting #3 and #5.<<

I am not surprised at all by your fascination of generalities given that you are subjected to it daily by Glenn Beck.

Moreover, I would be more than surprised if you actually presented either #3 or #5 of the GB guidelines in this thread.

I wait patiently to be surprised.

There is but one certainty here.

Glenn Beck can count on his audience to believe his statements without any real proof.

He’s managed to pull this off, in part, because he speaks in a way that’s intended to make his audience feel like they’d be un-American simpletons if they didn’t believe him.

There’s an endless stream of misinformation coming from Glenn Beck.
Endless.
His audience won't defend Beck's statements here because they can't possibly do it.
Like Beck, they move on to the next harebrained statement and hope you forget about the previous ridiculous statements.

Some here would do well to look at the GB guidelines.

Such as #3, Back up your arguments with facts. Where possible, facts should be supported by a link to a "respected" Internet source
(i.e. other than the Blaze.)

And #5. Back up your opinions with reasons. If you are going to express an opinion please make sure you explain why you have that opinion.
(i.e. not post, run, hide, repeat).

"Very telling indeed if you think you are being attacked and you aren't doing the same........"

Yes, telling in that you can not tell the difference. I am attacking the subject of this thread, Mr. Beck. You are attacking the posters on this thread whom offer a differing opinion than yours, which is verboten.

I don't expect your apology any sooner than Beck's...

"As I said before, you must obviously think everything is just hunky dory in the Obama house and support his agenda, so in that respect, I'm not really interested in your opinions or viewpoint and there I expect it to rest."

Not at all, but that would require you reading what I post in other threads. Of course, you only post here the most extreme right-wing stuff that Beck spouts so I can see why you might think that.

On Wednesday, Glenn Beck promised to break news within the next 24 hours that was going to rock the nation involving information obtained from a whistleblower that had the potential to "take down pretty much the whole power structure."

It's now day 4.

What happened to his whistleblower?

Is that still under development?

This so called phantom "whistle-blower" will only divulge this info in front of congress because he is in fear for his life. If he's afraid for his life as this info can potentially bring everything down, including congress....then why would he want to march himself straight into the lions den?

Yet another example of Glenn's poorly constructed conspiracy theories.

From the Blaze Global Informational center. Yes he really said that!

"Within 24 Hours, Glenn Beck Will Break News That Will Take Down The Entire Power Structure"

Another failed Beck prediction amongst a long, long list of BS self-serving propaganda;

1. Beck Prediction: In August 2010, Beck Said "The Hindenburg Omen" Had Been Triggered, Meaning A 5 Percent Drop In The Market "Usually Takes Place Within The Next 40 Days."

2. Beck Prediction: In October 2010, Beck Reset The Clock On The Hindenburg Omen, Saying, "We Just Entered The 30 Day Period." After the 40 day period passed, Beck reset the clock on the Hindenburg Omen on October 5, 2010:

3. Beck Prediction: The Caliphate Moment "That I've Been Saying For Five Years" Is Coming Here To America With Speech Scheduled For March 3, 2011.

4. Beck Claim: "Out Of Control" Progressives Will Take To The Streets As "Revolutionaries" In Fall 2010. Appearing on Fox & Friends, Beck commented on a video of Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-TX) criticizing someone who accused him of lying about health care reform and predicted "1960s protests on the streets" before the 2010 midterm elections and "revolutionaries on the street" after the elections.

5. Beck Claim In June 2010: "The Summer Of Rage Is About To Begin."

6. Beck Claim: The "Weimar Moment" Is Coming The Day After The 2010 Midterm Electionss.

7. Beck Claims Romney wins electoral college 321-217.

8. Beck claims August 10, 2011 "...you're going to see people like [the rioters in Great Britain] in this country tearing people from limb to limb, and they're idiots. Absolute idiots."

9. Beck Claims August 12, 2011 "I firmly believe that race riots are on the way," he said. "They are being encouraged...[the Obama administration] will take this country down. If it looks like they are losing, the uber left, they will take it down. If I can't have it, no one will."

What Happened to Glenn Beck's Scoop That Was Going to Rock the Nation?

On Wednesday, June 12, Glenn Beck promised to break news within the next 24 hours that was going to rock the nation and take down the entire power structure.

Within 24 Hours, Glenn Beck Will Break News That Will Take Down The Entire Power Structure

"We are going to be greatly divided as a nation," Beck warned, "in the next ten days and you are going to witness things in American history that have never been witnessed before".

It's now over 3 days and counting. We’re still waiting, Glenn.

Simply hilarious.

Glenn Beck I'm A Chess Player.

Nobody believes Glenn Beck, even though he is always right and that is because he is a chess player who can see several moves ahead, while nobody else can.

You're going to do what other networks are unwilling to do, Glenn? Do you mean give you airtime?

Even more hilarious, that he's "got a pretty good track record."
About what no one knows.

Like Limbaugh, Beck will not debate. He knows he stands no chance.

Beck is confusing chess with that one game where you make insane and unsubstantiated claims all day every day and when you're wrong you never bring it up or acknowledge it so people forget. And his followers call it OPINION.

What was that called again?

Pictionary?
No that isn't it.
Don't tell me I know this...

Quite the deflection. Unfortunately it has no bearing on the discussion at hand.

Thanks for your posts about the Saudi kid, you continue to prove that Beck and his Zealots care not for the Constitution and what makes this country great despite what may be said. Guilty until proven innocent. What next?

This guy doesn't hold himself accountable for anything he says or does - he just collects his paycheck with a wink and a snicker...
