Your Moment Of Glenn: Let’s Make A Deal! (With Radicals)

video
» 9 comments

America, you would be forgiven for sometimes drawing the conclusion that Glenn Beck is in fact the host of some strange game show, particularly if you’ve ever watched him with the sound off. The other week on Mediaite Office Hours, Katie Couric referred to Beck as a “big showman” and boy was that P.T. Barnum side (or perhaps in this case, Monty Hall) on display today. For those of you who missed it, Beck spent the first half of the hour teasing what he had hidden behind the blue curtain.

“I want to show you what revolutionaries look like. I want you to see the faces of a group of radicals who seek change. Not just changing to a new candidate, or a new party, but to fundamentally change the country they were born in. Change the entire system….even willing to die for this change. People who would overthrow those who they once swore allegiance to.”

Ta Da! A chalkboard of the Founding Fathers! The ‘radicals’ who managed to find truth without indoctrination (as opposed to the “socialist, Marxist, radicals” pasted on the flip side of the chalkboard, who make up our current government). It was at this point a co-worker asked me if I thought Beck was advocating overthrowing the government. Perhaps dressed up as a Founding Father? (It is Halloween, after all). I actually have no idea (probably not?). But the video is below, so maybe you can sort it out. (Below that, some further Halloween inspiration.)

    I expect to see Beck lead the charge to exhume the corpse’s of the Founding Fathers, have them stuffed and added to the set of his show.

    What is the purpose of these “Moment of Glen” Posts? You never mention the content of his show, you just put up some inane commentary about his style.

    Did you listen to his show and hear the quotes from Team Obama regarding freedom of speech?

    Really Glynnis, we know you have fun doing this, but really, can’t you just once in a while add some substance to your posts? He played video, real words….and you just ignore them and go into your own clown mode.

    Whatever

    As I mentioned earlier, TfT… Glynnis is simply obsessed with Beck, and tries to attack him daily to raise her blue-blog/Liberal cred. It hasn’t worked thus far… but that has’t stopped her either.

    It’s just another snarky attack on Beck from Glynnis. Nothing new… in fact, it’s a daily occurrence around these parts. Writing without bias, would require more substance than Ms. MacNicol is willing (or perhaps able) to provide.

    @TfT, I was just going to ask the same question. Because of Glynnis I started watching Glenn Beck and now I’m hooked. Today’s show was brilliant, yet Glynnis didn’t mention anything about the show’s content. I don’t think Glenn was lying because used used video clips that clearly proved what he said. Glynnis is a (bleep). There is no substance here.

    Glenn Beck is the ONLY person who is questioning the weird assortment of Commnunists/Marxists/ Mao-Loving Socialists and other assorted fruits and nuts in the Obama administration. He is SPOT ON! The White House can’t defend these RADICAL nutballs because all their subversive statements are on video or in books or speeches. This Dictator-in-Training-Pants, Barack Hussein Obama has a hidden agenda and the people of this country who voted for him were duped by his soaring rhetoric and big smile. These same people are now wide awake and watching every move this narcissistic megalomaniac makes. He will be neutered in 2010 so he can’t do too much more harm to our Republic and Constitution, and he will be OUT ON HIS BUTT in 2012! Along with all the Radical Nutjobs he brought with him. Keep up the good work Glenn. MILLIONS are watching you every day and our numbers are multiplying.
