If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

So June 30 is the day Ailes sends the Ecumenical Liberation Army to Assassinate Beck on-air? Will the Mao Tse-Tung Hour replace it on July 30? I hear their numbers are astronomical.

Next up, Sybil the Soothsayer.

(Apologies to Paddy Chayefsky, but Beck really is the breathing personification of Howard Beale: “This was the story of Howard Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.”)

Awaiting the insults and such for having a sense of humor about things.

His full name is Glen(n) O’Beckerhead Van Megyn O’ Bill-O Van Susteren O’Greta Van O’Hannity.

Well it looks like D-day for Barack Obama’s amerika is July 1st, 2011.

“A Date That Shall Live in Infamy”

This looks like Beck wanting to spend more time on growing his empire. No offense, but his site The Blaze is actually a pretty good aggregate of conservative-leaning news.

Can’t wait for the Obamacamps..

Yet, all my Rightist Reactionary friends assured me O’Beckerhead would be on until 31 December. Well, the way is ratings were dropping, I guess FOX “News” had to do something. We can only hope he is replaced by O’Van Der Bolling.

You appear to mention everyone but him. Coffee?

I may have left out a few Vans and Os in Beck’s name.

To be serious for a moment (and on this topic, it is difficult) it looks like Beck wants to be out from under whatever constraints he has at Fox so he can direct his not insubstantial (note – this is a compliment to Beck) media company without having to answer to anyone. While I am assuredly not a fan of Beck’s, I do respect the size and success of the media company he has built around himself. So, good for him!

Longest “firing” ever.

I agree with that general assessment. I don’t frequently watch Beck. If I flip through and he has something on that looks interesting, I’ll watch it. Last week or over the weekend (my days are all running together), he had on a guest couple who survived massive fire burns and so on and I thought that story was interesting.

Palin stopped by Fox yesterday – Beck is out today. Hmmmmmm……….. :) Hahahaha just kidding!

THE REAL ROYAL KING said:
Wow. Does your washing machine permanently stay in the spin cycle, Bidet?

Umm, King? Not to burst your bubble of self righteousness, but WCinWI is correct about Beck’s media company. As I said above, I am not a fan, but he has made his media company successful. The Blaze is a good example of that. It is now the top aggregator of conservative spun news. One does not have to like or agree with Beck to respect the accomplishment.

Note that the insult from King is an excellent example of the left going directly to the mud pile in any discussion, just like the right does. About the only thing that is bipartisan anymore is the hyper-partisanship.

WCinWI said:

Now that’s funny!! Thanks for the excellent morning laugh.

Fact: The old white house phone rings right before he is off the air. hahahahahahaha…. Good luck on your cable channel gig Glenn.

I still can’t get over how a Fired Person (as soo many on the left have told me) gets to chose his last day on the air?

Sorry, sent my comment before adding the LOL!

So you mean Glenn won’t be able to draw disgusting flawed analogies between the present and 1930′s Germany all summer long? Damn.

Stop the presses!

Hey, I thought the dems were soooooo concerned about the economy they didn’t want to talk about anything else?

I don’t particularly disagree. I find O’Beckerhead a complete sham and fraud, but I recognize the inherent right of all to enjoy snake oil salesmen. It’s a venerable institution in America. The spin is that Bidet seems hell-bent to deny, at times explicitly and here by necessary implication, that O’Beckerhead’s career at FOX “News” has ended more-or-less in shambles. On its own, another failed television show …. Big deal. Happens often. But to deny that masks some important media lessons, lessons applicable across the ideological spectrum. One of those lessons is that no one is too big to fail. Judy Garland was fired at the peak of her television career because the media moguls tired of her neediness. We can laud O’Beckerhead on his burgeoning media empire (whilst believing that grandiose assertion may be a bit overblown and more than a bit premature) yet still take lessons from this experience.

You teabloggers were wrong again.
You insisted it would be end of summer or end of year.
I, of course, said it would be much sooner.

…lousy ratings that the prime time lineup at MSNBC would like to have, and likely significantly better ratings than the show that Beck replaced. One wonders what Beck’s ratings would be if he were in O’Reilly’s slot or later.

The reason that Beck is losing viewers (IMO) is because he is far less entertaining than he used to be, and more of an activist (which Beck actually hates that he’s become an activist). There are people that will still watch, but many people tuned into Beck’s show because it was entertaining and enlightening. Not so much anymore. He’s still a big media figure, though.

One more bit: He’s moving out of New York. While the demands of a daily TV show and the burgeoning media empire are certainly part of the reason, he wants to get the hell out of New York. Can’t say I blame him.

Oh I see, another crazy, irrelevant, always wrong and no one watches conservative that lefties cant wait to see go.

Sometimes I dont know whether to feel pity, laugh or swing when dealing with libs. It makes perfect sense though that Beck would be the topic to finally knock the Weiner story off the main page.

And bring forth the humorless who think that somehow making this about the other networks will make any sense at all, which is does not. Apparently, irony and humor are in very short supply in some places. This entire story is abut Beck and Fox. Attempting to make the point that MSNBC is awful (and they are) is neither germaine nor logical. It is however, bilious and pointless.

Calvin said:

First off, Beck says what he says. If he went activist, he went there knowingly, and not against his will, so spare us all the “poor Beck, forced into activism,” line. Secondly, TV shows lose viewers. It happens. Nobody leads the ratings forever and after a while, even the best schtick loses its appeal. This is exactly what happened to Beck.

To bring back my earlier humorous point, “This was the story of Howard Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.” And compared to his earlier ratings, these are lousy. See, funny.

Calvin said:

The show has gone Israel-centric and there is nothing the least bit entertaining about that story. (OK, I ♥ “work accidents”, but you get my drift.) I agree with him that the stakes are enormous there right now, but it just isn’t a ratings winner. Unless your competition is…everyone else in cable news. This ratings crash has landed him all the way down at #3 for the month of May. Of all cable news programs. All. Of. Them.

Man, FNC just can’t wait to get rid of this guy, I’ll bet.

Wow!! Fox couldn’t even wait for the expiration of his contract. They want Beck gone now a half a year early. My guess is they struck a deal behind the scenes. Beck keeps his salary, but is forced to leave his show early. There is definitely more to this story than we already know.

If it’s that important to you whether or not Beck is on the air, perhaps you need a hobby.

Any hints what the “more” may be? I wonder if Ailes views Beck as a hindrance to the advancement of FOX “News’” pro-Republican agenda. In other words, did Beck become so toxic that he was making FOX “News’” credibility as the voice of the RNC suspect. That’s pure supposition, of course. Do you have any sense of what may be working here?

I have no media heroes, and frankly, O’Beckerhead’s ratings don’t blow anyone away. Locally, Oprah! blew him out of the ballpark, and I’m not an Oprah! fan.

No, I just thought you were serious in thinking that Beck has lousy ratings. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Sometimes it’s hard to tell when someone is being humorous.

Do you have to love being an activist to become one? I don’t think so. He thinks it’s necessary, so he is doing it, grudgingly. Do you think people love following politics and getting off the couch and going to rallies?

Keeva said:

I’m glad someone knows exactly what caused Beck’s decline in ratings. I wish I was so infallible. Anyways, that’s just my opinion. You’re not a fan of him, so I’m assuming you haven’t really watched his show over the last two years and haven’t seen the decline in humor. That’s why I watched the show, because he was kind of entertaining. You don’t think the loss in humor doesn’t have to deal with the loss in ratings? The NYT seems to think so: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/07/business/media/07carr.html?_r=2&src=twr&pagewanted=all

The problem with “Glenn Beck” is that it has turned into a serial doomsday machine that’s a bummer to watch.

Mr. Beck, a more gifted entertainer than most cable hosts, can still bring it, lighting up with characters and voices. But much of the time, there is sense that the fatigue from always being on alert, tilting forward in the saddle against the next menace, is starting to wear him down.

That’s one thing, IMO, the NYT has gotten right.

Hello! Oprah on regular TV, Beck on Cable. Btw since Oprah started her cable network the blow away ratings didn’t follow her.

And when you see somebody putting up 2+mil at 5PM on CNN,MSNBC or HLN. then come back and talk to me.

No, I missed that. Glenn’s said this before. He doesn’t want to do this. The one instance I particularly remember is when he was talking about Peter Stark and the minutemen:

GLENN: Hang on. I — my blood is boiling on this. The arrogance, When he says, We don’t want to do this. You know, Washington, do you think this is what we want to do? I didn’t get into this business– . Read my first book. I have become the talk show host that I have always despised. Somebody who’s got a cause. I don’t want to do this. Americans don’t want to do this. Americans want to go home and be with their children. Americans don’t really want to be pariahs. Americans don’t want to go out and stand on the border do the job that we’re currently paying to have done. We don’t want to even believe the stuff that we do.

Did you ever notice that when you look at media ratings comparisons that Oprah is not even on the list? Thats because they are not in the same line of work. You cant be serious guy!

please God I’m not asking for much maybe Beck’s plane will fall out of the sky or a heart attack maybe rabid rabbits will eat his guts out …Cmon God something do something ..

:-)

Ya know those of you that are glad he is gone are still saying the same old thing.” He’s crazy, he is a conspiracy theorists..Blah blah blah…” All the while ignoring that he has been right about almost everything. Gold, the falling of the dollar, the riots in the middle east and what was really behind them, Isreal, Obama’s poor treatment of our allies, everything. He backs it up with facts, videos, peoples own words and yet all you hear is “He’s crazy, he is a conspiracy theorists..Blah blah blah.”

I assume you might consider moving the “Gordon Blower Show” from You Tube to FOX “News”?

At 5 p.m. Eastern, on most days, Beck still gets more viewers than the other three combined!

Glenn….It’s Alex Jones on line 1. He wants to give you advice on how to be paranoid nut job wandering aimlessly through the media.

While I am assuredly not a fan of Beck’s, I do respect the size and success of the media company he has built around himself. So, good for him!

He also wants to get away from the incredibly high taxes in NY State and NYC. He couldn’t do that while working at FNC.

Why do you think the Mavericks and Heat are in the NBA Finals? The best players do not want to pay state income taxes, so they will naturally gravitate toward teams located in states without income taxes.

Pro athletes pay taxes in every state where their teams play, so players for Miami and Dallas do not avoid all such taxes. But half their games are at home, which means they pay less than if their home team was in Los Angeles or New York. (If you think the Lakers’ many successes refute my argument, just ask yourself when was the last time the Warriors, Clippers, and Kings had really great teams?)

Glenn Beck will still make appearances on FNC, but he might use a satellite link so he doesn’t actually have to be in NY. If he’s not physically working in NY, then he should not have to pay taxes there.

Hey Calvin.
I haven’t been around and won’t be starting next week. I was banned for typing out a naughty word rather using f**k. My emails to inquire about rules, and reinstatement went ignored so I have been unable to post. I can now because I’ m on a friends computer. Goofy huh?

I can’t get the video from your link. I’m a little skeptical of Glenn Beck saying, “See , I was right” It appears to me he’s doing what he’s always done, and pulling out select phrases to support his pet theories. Who is, Joseph Daher anyway? I tried to look him up and I didn’t see him as any significant leader.

I have an idea for a replacement. Just point a camera at the day room of an insane asylum. It would certainly provide a much more coherent, relevant, and informative program.

I wondered what happened to you Dan. I’m not exactly thrilled about this move since another demagogue will just fill his place.

Anne the victim hour to replace Glenn the victim hour? How novel. Maybe the “fair and balanced” network could “Balance” their “fair” network and hire a reality based host (AKA Liberal).

You progressive hatemongers of Glenn Beck don’t understand… Beck leaving Fox News only allows Glenn to create new ventures (like his new publishing company). He will become bigger, more powerful, more followed & richer. I think he will start his own TV network just like Oprah. Beck will eventually become a billionaire too. You have not defeated Glenn Beck. You have not even won 1 battle with Beck. Wait and see. He will be proved right again on the whole middle east disaster. Obama will not be re-elected but he will go down in history as the WORST POTUS EVER and EVER into the future. So continue your 5 year old fits you will be defeated by our opinions, at the polls and you sick twisted sense of morality and citizenship will be defeated once and for all.

He will become bigger, more powerful, more followed & richer. I think he will start his own TV network just like Oprah. Beck will eventually become a billionaire too. You have not defeated Glenn Beck. You have not even won 1 battle with Beck. Wait and see. He will be proved right again on the whole middle east disaster. Obama will not be re-elected but he will go down in history as the WORST POTUS EVER and EVER into the future. So continue your 5 year old fits you will be defeated by our opinions, at the polls and you sick twisted sense of morality and citizenship will be defeated once and for all.

I get it. You really, really, really like Glenn Beck but you think maybe you are assigning him a bit too much power? He is an admitted entertainer, rodeo clown, and shock jock. He is not meant to be taken seriously. That’s why we reality based liberals love poking fun at him.

You teabloggers were wrong again.
You insisted it would be end of summer or end of year.
I, of course, said it would be much sooner.

Score another one for BFD.

Give yourself a couple of good bobs just for being so damn smart.

Break out the Champagne!

I thought the rightwingers were saying he was not fired?

THE REAL ROYAL KING said:
Any hints what the “more” may be? I wonder if Ailes views Beck as a hindrance to the advancement of FOX “News’” pro-Republican agenda. In other words, did Beck become so toxic that he was making FOX “News’” credibility as the voice of the RNC suspect. That’s pure supposition, of course. Do you have any sense of what may be working here?

Yeah. A lot of potential reasons for the premature departure. Beck wanted to promote his upcoming rally in Israel on Fox? Fox doesn’t want to promote this rally as it did the rally to restore honor last summer? The nosedive in Beck’s ratings provides the opportunity for management to end the show ahead of schedule? There was a fallout between Beck and management over his production of special programs after his departure? Beck acting petulant and juvenile not happy over finishing the year at Fox when he knows his show has already been terminated? I have no idea Royal King, but this is my best speculation. However, expect some warm, fuzzy response from Bill Shine and Fox management in the meantime until the real truth comes out at a later date. These guys are pros at damage control so you can be sure there is a planned, coordinated response already in the works.

Now I understand why Beck’s been blubbering all day on the radio and now on TV.

Meathead! Obama is now. When we’re blaming him 3 years after he’s gone, like in 2015, then you have a case. For now, this post of yours just wasnt to thought out.

I assume your 8 and give you a pass. God wills it!

Thats right. Not serious. Thats why everyone you love in the business will never see his ratings and his get together at the monument covered the earth.

I’m never really on at this time and I see it’s amature hour for the libs here at mediaite. Ok, who am I kidding. There’s people this stupid here all day long.

J Baustian said:
He also wants to get away from the incredibly high taxes in NY State and NYC. He couldn’t do that while working at FNC.

Why do you think the Mavericks and Heat are in the NBA Finals? The best players do not want to pay state income taxes, so they will naturally gravitate toward teams located in states without income taxes.

Pro athletes pay taxes in every state where their teams play, so players for Miami and Dallas do not avoid all such taxes. But half their games are at home, which means they pay less than if their home team was in Los Angeles or New York. (If you think the Lakers’ many successes refute my argument, just ask yourself when was the last time the Warriors, Clippers, and Kings had really great teams?)

Glenn Beck will still make appearances on FNC, but he might use a satellite link so he doesn’t actually have to be in NY. If he’s not physically working in NY, then he should not have to pay taxes there.

There is so much garbage on this board. This is in response to a response to a Beck supporter who tried to argue that Beck wants to leave Fox so his own media company can somehow better prosper. And now you believe that Beck wants to leave Fox to avoid New York taxes. Oh my. I will remind you guys who hero worship Beck that it is not just Beck’s ratings that are taking a nosedive. After he leaves Fox he is taking a major demotion from the awesome, widely circulated platform of Fox News to his own Glenn Beck television. Consider a major leaguer going from a stadium with roaring fans to a farm club in the sticks with a few bleachers. Beck leaving Fox has nothing to do with the future of his own media company or not wanting to pay taxes in New York. He was FIRED.

WOW! Mean and stupid, LOL!! No need for taking ones life just because someone they admire is moving on to do the same thing in other places. Maybe your head is so far up your ass your posting blindly but many here are pointing out how he’s just going to be more successful moving on. When that happens, will you kill yourself? J.O.!

I’m watching him now and wondering what would get people upset about this show. He’s pointing out how Mein Kampfe is selling like nuts again and bringing awareness to the Jewish concern. Where in this show is Beck some crazy nut causing trouble?

The Beckerheads will fall into a senseless stupor without Beck to puff them up regularly.
Unfortunately, some of the damage to their mental health is permanent.

I guess if he wasn’t fired for causing trouble that he was fired for being a good samaritan who promoted nothing, but goodness. By your rationale, that must have happened. LOL. Oh and please don’t share for what inane reason he is talking about Hitler’s Aryan manifesto. I really don’t want to know.

They will be fine that is if they aren’t just angry and white, but reasonably employed. For X amount of dollars they will be able to subscribe to watch him spiel his crackpot garbage on Glenn Beck Television.

Exclusive? Stop Beck dot com reported this hours ago as well.

Hopefully, academics will study his ignorant and gullible flock in the coming years. They could serve as case studies for critical thinking taught at the secondary level.

How they can sit and listen to lies, smears, distortions, hyperbole, false claims, examples of blatant hypocrisy and obvious propaganda without grasping that they were being lied it is one of the wonders of the modern world. It is almost trite to point out that they simply wanted to believe the preposterous propaganda that Beck was feeding them.

At any rate, there are “only” four more weeks of tearful goodbyes to ignore.

I’m not convinced fired is exactly the right word, but I think you make a good point. I remember reading an article a few weeks ago that with an election coming up RA, had to distance Fox from Beck’s increasingly bizarre rants. They had meetings to negotiate a severance package and time frame. It did mention that they were trying to avoid firing , but it wasn’t off the table , if a settlement wasn’t reached.

Steve-Duh_27
WOW! Mean and stupid, LOL!! No

I like your pussy. LOL!

I’m as right wing as they come and I’m sick of Glenn Beck and I won’t miss his show. Sometimes he could be very insightful. And extremely inspiring. But at other times he’s displayed just what a jackass he can be. I havent watched a full hour of his show in 6 months. Rush Limbaugh has had a couple of regrettable moments but he never comes across as being nearly as much of a douchebag as Glenn Beck is. He’s just nasty. And more importantly his show has become boring. He’s just a boring blowhard these days. Maybe after he’;s been gone for a few months, I’ll be able to stomach one of these documentaries by him that FOX are promising. What this man needs is some humility , and what his show has desperately needed is some focus instead of the rambling, rambling, RAMBLING that hes been doing since about early 2010 when he stopped having guests on his show every day.

Of eagle eyed readers will note that none of my complaints involve accusing of being a “MISLEADING LIAR”. That’s becuase I’m not a leftist zombie who reads Media Matters. You should try it some time!

That must be why they signed him to a new contract, and why O’Reilly still has him on weekly, most recently to discuss the significant number of things he’s going working beyond Fox. There’s obviously the internet expansion of his program, there’s the new e-commerce site, there’s the new publishing arm of his company and the three books it has coming out this summer, and, of course, the Israel rally. But I’m sure this is all because Ailes simply can’t wait to lose the #3 draw in all of cable news.

Good Riddance!!!!!

The worst fake Beck fan ever. Who the hell are you kidding?

Recently, Scarborough had a young man on who is some sort of analyst on the BUSINESS side of media and he stated that Beck’s company is valued at approximately $40 MILLION. Joe Scarborough turned beet red and started joking and choking about how he’d be happy to take $49 million. Even Mika sort of choked up over the size of the estimate. Somehow, I don’t think Beck was “fired,” but rather, that he and Ailes have amicably parted in a manner that benefits both Fox News and Beck’s Mercury Radio Arts.

Quien sabe? (None of us here, including Dan’s columnists, knows the answer to that question!)

Every lunatic Beck-bashing liberal who reads this post will have to change their drawers. Thanks!

Guys all you wingnuts I don’t care how much glenn make, how many kids he has, how his wife looks, what his next project is, what he’s going to do in Israel, or whatever. He’s gone off of FOX news im happy, its that simple. Now when they put on some other lunatic to replace him I will make fun of him as well. Maybe they wont put a lunatic on who knows. All of these things about him getting bigger bla bla great for Glenn I wish him luck. But losing his spot on FOX is not a win for him and don’t try and sell it that way.

No, say it ain’t so Mr. Beck. Now my daddy, the Goober-Brained Reject (a.k.a. GBR) will come out of the basement and be mean to mommy and me by not letting us watch Fox News anymore. He promised he would buy me a kitten when he made his first $20 off his website and I’ll never get a kitten either. How could you be so cruel Mr. Beck? I thought you liked everyone.

Would someone PLEASE buy me a kitten?

Too bad that Fox News doesn’t follow suit.

Look, moonbat, I don’t care if you’re happy. It’s that simple. See how that works?

Some discrepencies, if rating fell that bad why then this record viewership

In May, Beck beat every show on every cable news channel at every time, except for two shows. Translation: he beat every primetime show on every cable channel, except 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Fox News.

At least Glenn was teaching people relevant historical and present connections and past events that show progressions of trends. When a film clip of a person speaking make his point. you can’t deny the statement.
Always works in a Court of Law. to proove points why not in media.
What people say has impact on society.Words matter,
(only when the right says things are they’re held accountable, the left can say anything and get away with it, just watch the declining MSNBC shows nobody jumps them for outrageous statements)

Hey Calvin.
I haven’t been around and won’t be starting next week. I was banned for typing out a naughty word rather using f**k. My emails to inquire about rules, and reinstatement went ignored so I have been unable to post. I can now because I’ m on a friends computer. Goofy huh?

Goofy, indeed.

CosmosDan said:
I can’t get the video from your link. I’m a little skeptical of Glenn Beck saying, “See , I was right” It appears to me he’s doing what he’s always done, and pulling out select phrases to support his pet theories. Who is, Joseph Daher anyway? I tried to look him up and I didn’t see him as any significant leader.

Well, he’s a Syrian socialist community organizer. He’s not exactly famous. The thing is, he’s saying the exact same thing that Beck said.

According to the article , part of the negotiation for him leaving was how many “specials” he would do. Other than that, none of what you mentioned is relevant to what I posted. It was just one article. I didn’t present it as proof of anything, but just an alternative view. Personally, I don”t give a crap either way.

“Select phrases”? How is he doing that? The guy plainly says that they (the socialists) will work together with the MB because they’re both against America, Israel, Britain, and capitalism. As far as being obscure, how many activists working out in the streets in the ME do you know of? Saying that’s he’s “obscure” seems rather dismissive. Here you’ve got an actual socialist saying they’re working with the MB for the reasons I listed above.

Good luck with the whole banning of your IP adress thing. Hopefully you can get back on sometime in the future. You’re always willing to participate in a civil debate and I appreciate that.

Why? How does Beck being on TV monday through friday affect you? If I was a liberal and I thought someone on TV was a crazy conspiracist who made the right look bad, I’d want that guy to stay on TV. I know I want Ed Schultz to stay on TV.

The reactionary BarneyFranken says:

“Damn, thats some good hyperbole!”

Your inability to assimilate the facts about Beck doesn’t make accurate claims about him “hyperbole.”

I have an idea: Try a thought experiment.

Millions of people now believe the nonsense that Beck has been spouting for the last 2 & 1/2 years. Beck is bad for political discourse, bad for people’s understanding of reality and bad for America.

Hi Daddy!

The reason why millions of people believe Glenn Beck is because he tells the TRUTH. As you said in a previous post, Mr. Beck asks that no one take is word as gospel but that they should (and this is the part you always leave out) GO OUT AND LOOK IT UP FOR THEMSELVES!!!

It’s kinda sad though that no one believes you and I think that, coupled with the fact that you only have seven friends on your stinking, pop-up infested website, while Mr. Beck has MILLIONS of people who listen to him keeps your panties in a such a twist that you can’t think straight.

From everything I’ve read in response to your comments, it seems everyone agrees that you’re a pathetic little loser and are simply jealous of people who are greater than yourself. You need some help Daddy. Your twisted little brain is rotting as you sit there in that dank, moldy basement immersed in your hatred for all that is good and just.

Im glad calvin because I don’t like people who are fear mongers, and spew crap all day and night on what is a major network. I don’t like ed schutlz either and im not a fan of Odonell either, I like good honest intellectual debate. Glenn is a political evangelical preacher, and works like one. He works in the same fashion as any other preacher and try to make you fear what you don’t understand. The left his his bogey man his DEVIL if you will. He finds conspiracies in whatever they do. This in itself is not the worst thing he can do. But he seems unwilling or unable to find any bogey men on the right, and or conspiracies on the right. Which tells me that he is noting but a charlatan who is interested in exploiting a certain type of person for his own personal gain. This is how a faith healer or a evangelical works. He will go after Soros for months and years and, or van jones or whomever is the latest bad guy on the left. Has he ever gone after the Coke brothers or any of the influential money peddling people or corporations on the right, and looked into what their interests may be? Not that im aware of.

Insideguy, it’s called changing the channel. You don’t have to watch him. You don’t even have to read about him. Concerning the Koch Brothers, what sort of globalist agenda do you think two libertarians have? Or any real conservative? BTW, corporations benefit from a big and powerful government. If you think that Beck is OK with corporations being in bed with the government (no, that doesn’t include taxing them less, more like zero taxes while other still pay, like GE got zero taxes), you’re sorely mistaken. Same goes for true conservatives all over. When Calvin Coolidge said “America’s business is business,” he didn’t mean, “hey corporations, come on and lie down with Uncle Sam.” He meant that the government should interfere as little as possible with businesses and idividuals. As far as those “conspiracies” of Beck’s go, why don’t you adress them specifically and show where’s he’s wrong instead of complaining about those “conspiracies” ? Again, you can change the channel anytime.

Agreed Calvin I could and I do. But the idea that as long as “I” can change the channel and everything will be fine is foolish. That is like saying well Im a german citizen in 1934 and I don’t like Hitler therefore if I just don’t listen to him everything will be ok. No there were germans who did this and they paid the price. Glenn Beck is dangerous and his rhetoric is dangerous. My joy is that he will not have this medium to communicate this type foolish rhetoric. Is Glenn Beck OK with corporations being in bed with the govt? Im sure your correct on this that he claims he is not. Thats not my point, he demonizes the left and rarely speaks of what you have spoken of. He is more concerned with a leftist takeover of the world, but seem to have little fear of our military industrial complex, or his own Roger Ailes who is creating a massive media empire that has power all over the world. Does he feel this is healthy? Maybe not but he is silent on these issues and if mentioned he speaks very little. The Koch brothers maybe just innocent libertarians as you claim. My logic tells me that anyone with as much money and power as they have also have intreats that they are pursuing and those are self interests. Are they bad people? I don’t know but why doesn’t Glenn send his investigative team to look into their activities as he does anyone on the left with money? He is fear monger who you are correct I can turn him off but that makes him no less dangerous.

insideguy said:

Examples, please.

insideguy said:

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” I think somebody being able to say what they want to say on a cable TV news channel is a fantastic example of our First Amendment. I know you think he’s dangerous, but again, I have yet to see anybody come forth with examples of that.

insideguy said:

You really think that the military industrial complex and Roger Ailes is going to take over the world? Maybe China’s military industrial complex. Maybe George Soros’ massive media empire. Beck thinks that we need to decrease our military presence (and get most of our troops out of Afghanistan) because we can’t afford it. Beck isn’t alright with the amount we spend on our miltary.

Have you considered that they might be interested in a limited government that is in lockstep with the Constitution? Every indication is that is what their interest is. They have made no remarks about any global plans or the like that I know of. George Soros has indicated that he wants a new world order and a managed decline of the dollar.

insideguy said:
He is fear monger

You can say that, but do you think that happens on the left, too? Like with global warming/climate change and healthcare reform, for example.

I’m not saying that I trust them implicitly, though. As Reagan said, trust, but verify. But like I said, they haven’t indicated that they have any plans like George Soros’.

Sorry Calvin just got back to this page. Good convo I must say, we see things differently and you are civil so its been fun. I look forward to other interesting debates with ya. Oh and by the way I don’t disagree that the left fear mongers as much as the right. Different subjects they fear monger about but I think they are at least equal in the amount that they do.

On June 30th, the national nightmare called The Glenn Beck Show on Fox comes to an end …. finally.

Why a “nightmare?” For many reasons that even conservatives can understand.

If any pol demonstrated the number of hypocrisies that have been documented by critics of Glenn Beck, he would be voted out long ago. In fact, Beck’s reactionary values are extremely unpopular. He couldn’t get elected dog catcher.
