Gotta hand it to him, Beck can charm and hold on to an audience.

I didn’t see the speech but as a very conservative Repub (to my mind the only reasonable home for me) I certainly applaud the main theme as you have stated it.

The spending during GWB’s admin drove me crazy, especially after the Dems took control of the Congress and it went into overdrive.

Now that we have Obama with super Dem majorities they have gone into hyper drive on spending and making more noise about tax hikes.

I haven’t had a really comfortable home since Ronaldus Magnificus and I am ready for some new digs!

I’ve met a lot of truly happy people in life. None of them resemble Beck, who spews hate daily.

I think Beck confuses happiness with the size of his bank account.

Also, love the end where he basically gives birth to the new GOP meme. They don’t need facts anymore, they just make up their own.

“I choose not to believe that.”

The new rallying cry of the right.

Tragic.

Beck is a hack, just like Rush and Bill O’reilly, to the point where it is laughable.

It was a great speech, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I laugh that CNN took a pass — yet another poor decision by that cable network. Funny though, they came right out of the gate and criticized it without letting whatever viewers they have left (very few) see the whole speech. They carried Rush last year but passed on Beck this time. I laugh at their consistent poor decision making.

Beck wants to eradicate differing political thought? Calling progressives a cancer is probably one of the most truly fascist statements (not hyperbole) I’ve heard from a mainstream political commentator in a long time.

Please specify what hate you are referring to. Don’t just make accusations and not back them up.

Even worse than KO accusing Fox and its viewers of being more dangerous to the US than Al Qaeda and also doing more harm than the KKK?

I could come up with a lot more but this is fairly representative of his fascistic hubris!

And the rich get richer by spreading the hate.

“m” (whoever s/he is, not at all james bond-ish) said” “Beck wants to eradicate differing political thought?”
Get a clue. If you would have listened to his speech, you would have heard specifically that Glenn does NOT want to eradicate differing political thought, and he said so specifically, saying it would be “awful boring” if everyone agreed.

Then I got a laugh at your train wreck of a statement that Calling progressives a cancer is probably one of the most truly fascist statements (not hyperbole) I’ve heard from a mainstream political commentator in a long time.”

Uh, your statement is the exact definition of hyperbole. Glenn’s theme of personal responsibility and less government are the EXACT OPPOSITE of fascism. (Look it up: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism) If anything, it’s the so-called progressives who are fascist. The unholy trinity of Øbama/Pelosi/Reid are the ones who are moving us to “centralized autocratic government… severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”.

Bond certainly doesn’t want this ‘m’ on his side. Cheers.

I watched most of it, two things.

The speech was as Glynnis would say, Beck 101. If you have been watching or listening to Beck, most of this was stuff you already heard. The wake up call was loud and clear though, Progressives are a cancer that won’t go away until you vote them out. They are on both sides and they will ruin this country.

Prime example would be McCain, right now now he is trying to pass a bill through the Senate that would regulate vitamins. Who just happens to get the biggest contributions from the Pharm Folks? You guessed it! (with Kerry right behind).

And this Beck hate speech is getting quite old at this point folks. You need to come up out of your basements and read some books. And learn about the nasty people that have plagued both sides down through history. I don’t mind debate, but if you don’t see that both parties are taking us down. I can’t help you.

The other interesting point today at cpac was Ron Paul winning the straw poll, and FNC freaking out along with the other so-called Conservatives. Boy, did they go into full spin mode. The best part was almost half the vote was cast by young people attending.

The youth had a lot to do with Obama getting elected in 2008, and nobody thought he had a chance back then.

Spin away! My Neo-Conservative friends all you want. Name call all day long my Progressive friends. The budget will be balanced and the troops will be coming home in 2013. And that’s a good thing! God bless Glenn Beck & Dr. Paul.

Ronco Raygun???? ALRIGHT there AAP!!!!! I knew it was you! I knew you couldn’t keep your Raygun down.

Grannie! you remember old AAP don’t you? How many sites you’ve been kicked off AAP?

Oh yeah, AAP Obama is a real spendthrift ain’t he? Boy, he’s cutting deficit right down to nothing.

Ron Paul winning the straw poll.

I guess Sean Hannity will say this was rigged somehow.

Puck, it could be but I still think Patsy is Patsy and Flucker is our newly named (what does this one make – 253 names?) Faux Royal!

I think he just borrowed it from one trick Patsy.

I agree, Puck, I think the times they are a changing.

About time.

Holy Crap that was an excellent speech. Beck at his best.

Check out shoot’s remarks on the ‘Olbermann…lack of diversity’ thread. I could swear he was ‘spewing’ a little of his own hate. But he does enforce the widely held belief that the left is unable to debate without name calling.

(The last section of Becks speech was unforgettable. After an insipid reading
of the Statue of Liberty poem (“What are we, a hospital?”) Beck gets on a roll)

It was never intended to read that way!
Remember the Statue of Liberty was mocking the old system!
The Statue of Liberty was used to ignite inside the French- “Liberty! Look at America! Look what they’re doing!”

It was meant to be read like this: (he gives an impassioned reading of the Statue of Liberty poem)

That…that is the message! Even the people that you REJECT can make it here!
They will give it all to be successful here! You can make it HERE!

I have been saying the worst is coming. I have been saying it for a while.
But you will find the answers in history. It’s the same story over and over again.
We just need to learn our own history. Learn from our own mistakes.
Admit that we have a problem.
Grow a spine and stand for the right things!

Our future is not cast in stone!
It does not have to be this way!
It does not have to be that the greatest American generation is behind us!
It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living!
It will be that way if we choose to believe that!
I CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE THAT!

Ronald Regan increased the deficit by 189%. Got that? Also, according to Eric Kuhn at CNN he over heard the following from a college age girl – “Do you think Regan is going to talk soon”? Priceless!
By the way, if 10,000 people attended this conference why did only only 2,395 people vote in the straw poll?

For anyone who wants to hear the part of Glenn Becks speech on the Statue of Liberty and what it means, go to http://www.therightscoop.com. He has this part separate from the rest of the speech.

Why should the GOP admit it has a problem? The Tea Partiers and Beck have treated the GOP like the federal gov’t did AIG – perhaps they’re too big to fail, they deserve a bonus in the form of bringing them back to power no matter that they have a record of failure and no success. I’d as soon hand a chimpanzee a nuclear trigger device to play with as put Republicans back in the majority. I’d expect better results from the chimpanzee. (That wasn’t a Bush joke).

I’d take Beck much more seriously if his opinions were issued from a bed at Bellevue Hospital. But at least he’s part of the movement to re-brand the GOP:

The nice things about paranoia are its consistency and constancy. I now understand the mind that adores a carnival barker like Beck.

“I’m a recovering alcoholic” isn’t that a little too ‘PC’ for Beck?

Seems as though “I’m a drunk” would have more appropriate in the PC-free lexicon of Glen Beck.

“By the way, if 10,000 people attended this conference why did only only 2,395 people vote in the straw poll?”

They’re not sure

The teabaggers can’t even settle on what their ‘movement’ is focused on, aside from one issue they for which are all clearly unified.

“Holy Crap that was an excellent speech. Beck at his best.”

Crap? Certainly. Holy? Not so much.

“Even worse than KO accusing Fox and its viewers of being more dangerous to the US than Al Qaeda and also doing more harm than the KKK?”

Actually, that is probably more than a little loosely paraphrased, though even if it were a direct quote, it would precisely accurate.

“Gotta hand it to him, Beck can charm and hold on to an audience.”

Providing the collective IQ is in the double digits like this one.

Tea baggers, low IQ, crap, drunk, chimpanzee. It continues to elude me how people keep claiming you left wingers can only hurl insults and call names, but never deal with facts.

*Tea baggers, low IQ, crap, drunk, chimpanzee. It continues to elude me how people keep claiming you right wingers can only hurl insults and call names, but never deal with facts.*

Fixed your typo. Haven’t you heard? Facts have a liberal bias.

So you ‘read’ the posts listed here and didn’t notice any name calling by left wingers? Why, oh why, do they say you lefties are a bunch of closed minded hypocrites? It just doesn’t add up.

BTW, calling you hypocrites wasn’t name calling. That was a fact.

Pay attention, writer – I called no one ‘chimpanzee.’ What I said was, “I’d as soon hand a chimpanzee a nuclear trigger device to play with as put Republicans back in the majority. I’d expect better results from the chimpanzee. (That wasn’t a Bush joke).” My comment was referencing Republicans’ ability to govern. Or lack thereof, actually.

Speaking of paying attention, Bill, the other day you were all too eager to connect the dots when that guy flew the plane into the building, saying he was obviously a Beck fan and a tea partier. Maybe you can connect some dots I’ve brought up in other posts. Obama was big in Chicago politics. Jesse Jackson was an Obama supporter. But Jesse was also best friends with Jeff Fort, the leader of the El Rukn gang. They controlled extortion, prostitution, heroin, and other activities in Chicago. Jeff helped Jesse intimidate businesses into making ‘contributions’ to Jesse’s Rainbow Coalition. Jesse would threaten to go to the media with his usual charge of racism for anyone who didn’t pay up. Jeff did his part by threatening to break their legs, and got a cut of the money. Jesse’s buddy Jeff also had ties to Libya and was plotting acts of domestic terrorism. Jeff is currently doing life in super max with no human contact. Yet, strangely, when the left points out wrongdoing, they never mention any of this. Could race have something to do with the left’s silence on this issue? I mean, when Bill Maher has Jesse as a guest, none of this ever comes up. Come on, Bill. Connect those dots.

Noah Robinson, Jesse Jackson’s half brother, graduated from Wharton School of Business in 1969. He had a promising career ahead of him. Jesse Jackson said, “No, brother, come with me in Chicago. I want you to be my partner.” He brought Noah Robinson into Operation Breadbasket. They subsequently went into business in the Breadbasket Commercial Association and into Operation PUSH as well. Jesse then introduces Noah Robinson to Jeff Fort, who was the head of Blackstone Rangers. This was the biggest – and at the time, the most violent – street gang in Chicago, subsequently convicted of killing more than 200 people. Jeff Fort and Jesse Jackson are closely tied. Noah Robinson gets involved in the gang, he gets lots of business, he becomes a businessman in Chicago – partly with the gangs, partly with Jesse Jackson. He gets lots of contracts with the city government that Jesse helps him get through these minority set-aside programs.

Even Jesse couldn’t keep him out of jail. Jeff Fort eventually gets put in jail for life in ’86 in a plot where he took $2.5 million from Libya. He was going to blow up U.S. government installations on behalf of Col. Gadhafi (of Libya). Eventually, Noah is arrested in ’88 and convicted of murder-for-hire, drug trafficking and racketeering while Jesse Jackson is running for president.

Of course, you’re not a hypocrite for saying that… you’re just selectively outraged by people who disagree with you, and have a different standard of decency and respect for people who DO agree with you. That’s not hypocrisy… it’s… um… something else. Right?

Hey, writer – when a Tea Bagger Homicide Pilot leaves a rant like one of Glenn Beck’s in written form on a website and then crashes into a federal building, one can only do the 2+2 math and come up with Tea bagging martyr, particularly when one views all the fan pages that sprang up immediately. But, hey, you can use fractured quantum bullshit if you want like yours and come up with the next Sarah Palin fiction award winning rant.

I’m pretty sure, Bill… that the guy could have written a letter that said, “Goodbye world.” And you would have blamed it on Beck and Republicans.

You’re really a sick individual. Blinded by hate… afraid of logic… and (if my guess is correct) ignored in real life. This is the best you can do… so I hesitate to pick on you, lest you do something really unfortunate.

Of course, the things left in the letter suggest the guy was simply a head-case… and even though he ranted about things from BOTH political perspectives, I guess you’ll only see what you want to see to feed the sickness.

I can’t say I’m surprised.

So let me get this straight, Bill. If someone so much as watches a TV show, then that’s a direct tie in. If Stack ever saw the Beck show, that’s a direct relationship. (And it has yet to be proven that Stack was a Beck watcher) But when Obama goes to a radical racist church for twenty years, you say there’s no connection at all between what Wright thinks and what Obama thinks. Or when Jesse Jackson campaigns for Obama, and Jesse had ties to one of the biggest crime syndicates in Chicago, there’s no direct relationships going on there either. Bill, your blind ideology makes you a truly pathetic individual. You’ll struggle to make any connection, no matter how tenuous, if the person is white and/or conservative. But if the person is liberal and/or black, you put on the blinders and ignore everything. Then, child-like, you have tantrums when anyone calls you on your blindness. Truly pathetic.

And Bill, I know you like to throw your opinions out as fact, then pitch a hissy fit if anyone questions you. If you want to check up on my “bullshit”, just Google El Rukn, or Jesse Jackson/Jeff Fort, or Blackstone P. Rangers or Noah Robinson or crime in Chicago or Jeff Fort’s ties to Libya or Jeff Fort and domestic terrorism. Not too hard to find plenty of info if you’re not already blinded by ideology.

Man this guy can cause a media uproar. check out some of the media reaction to the CPAC Speech:
