Glenn Beck Trashes Bill Kristol Seconds Before Cutting To…Bill Kristol

video
» 173 comments

Glenn Beck no longer seems to be quoting Davy Crockett and leaving for Texas while his critics criticize. The massive amounts of heat he’s taken in the past week from both the Left and the Right have clearly taken their toll so, today, he told his audience he’d be delaying his planned material to respond. This primarily resulted in an episode of the host citing his sources as he went one by one through the statements he made in his Egypt shows and gave his evidence. It also resulted in one of the most awkwardly hilarious moments ever as he bad mouthed one of his Conservative critics, The Weekly Standards’ Bill Kristol, before cutting to a commercial…for The Weekly Standard…starring Bill Kristol.

Their feud started when Kristol wrote a piece in the Standard accusing Beck of hysteria. Beck hit back on his radio show. Then, this morning on Morning Joe, Kristol was asked about the situation and declined to speak about it, joking that he’d prefer to debate Beck on Fox News. I suppose this is one way to go about that.

The moment in question came as Beck was defending his Muslim caliphate claims by pointing to a 2004 CIA report that addressed similar concerns as well as a website brought to his attention by a viewer in Colorado. As he discussed it, he wrapped up by pointing at pictures of Kristol and a couple other critics.

“I’m never going to actually expect these guys to do their homework. They’re not. They’re comfortable in their jobs, they’re with their titles, and that’s just the way it’s going to be. They’ve had their time in the sun. But, Chris in Broomfield, Colorado did his homework. And it makes all the difference in the world. Back in just a second.”

Next thing the viewer heard? “Hi, I’m Bill Kristol.”

As Groucho Marx would say, “I’ve heard of Glenn Beck having problems with advertisers, but this is ridiculous!”

    Glenn Beck makes Jospeh Goebbels look like a Mormon.

  • Judge Mental

    A CIA report? You don’t say. My, those guys are a bunch of wacky conspiracy theorists, aren’t they?

  • WCinWI

    I caught bits and pieces of his show today. It was actually quite good.

  • nice_thought

    And you are reporting on it? Get a life, alleged reporter.

  • BFD

    So a 7 year old CIA report is proof that the Caliphate is happening now in Egypt and is supported by the communists and far left?

    Quite a stretch, Henny Glenny.

  • FleshBomb

    Ever notice that really no one disputes Beck with any facts? Just name calling and ridicule. He’s on to something and it scares people. They will let you know who they fear by their actions.

    I’ve read comment after comment from the left wing trolls on this site regarding Beck. Never has one disputed anything with fact. Know why? They can’t. First of all they are too stupid to do the homework it would take and if they did do the homework – they’d find he’s right.

    Clearly you didn’t hear what Glenn had to say. He clearly stated that it provided the provisions for it to occur, not that he knew that it would occur.

    Silly libs….let’s stick with facts please.

    Here is a prime example of one of the stupid trolls. Nothing to back up his assertions. CIA report? Uh…ahhhh…it was 7 years ago and proves nothing!

    Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. But you really can’t argue with a crazy person, because you need to PROVE an idea not just state it and expect people to disprove it. Beck has stated that the Bushes, both presidents, are in league with Muslim Brotherhood and gave NO EVIDENCE.

    Another leftist half wit. “we don’t debate any of the specifics because they’re dumb”! You people are truly ignorant. WHY do you disagree with Beck? What did he say and show on his program that you would like to debate? You can’t do it because you’re not intelligent enough to even care. You live in your leftist bubble and that’s all you know. Typical.

    No, dumbass. It’s “proof” that there are those who intend to reestablish the Caliphate and that a group of them are in Egypt working toward that end. Nobody knows which way Egypt is going to drop, and that is one of the possibilities in play.

    BFD, you’re not that stupid. Drop the knee jerk crap and let those wheels in your head turn for a few minutes.

  • WillP

    I understand Beck’s reaction after his comments over Egypt were described as “hysteria” by Kristol in the Weekly Standard. If Beck was smart he wouldn’t take shots at those who criticize him on the right especially those with whom he works at Fox News. He has enough opponents on the Left who criticize him. He doesn’t want to make enemies in the wrong places. The Rush Limbaugh rule to which Glenn Beck should subscribe is to have half of everybody hate you at any one time. Limbaugh has mildly criticized Brooks and other conservatives in the past, but he has largely been a good soldier to elected Republicans and the conservative movement. He saves 99% of his attacks for liberals and democrats. Beck would be wise to take after his mentor and put a lid on it. The last thing he needs is for many conservatives to abandon him.

  • BFD

    The best part is that when in a year or two the Muslims and communists have not taken over the world with the help of the progressives Henny Glenny can just take the credit because HE sounded the alarm.

    He saved the world for freedom!!!

    It’s a foolproof plan for idiots.

    This Kagan, genius also admitted that the Muslim Brotherhood had a good chance of getting a large part of the new Egyptian government. Wow, Beck is sooooooo wrong! LOL!

    boy–I guess I’m missing the hilarity. see, libs, when conservatives disagree, it doesn’t mean that they are worstest enemies EVERRRR and they like totally hate each other and will like neverrrr be seen on the like same CHANNEL, you know?

    Kristol may think Beck is a loon, but Beck’s show is still a great place for the Weekly Standard to advertise. I don’t see that changing. so stay tuned for lots more fun, as that WS spot will play on Beck again!

    as for the conspiracy stuff, I have to admit I’ve missed the show the last couple days. but anybody who thinks there ISN’T an Islamic–desire, let’s call it–to rebuild the caliphate and have us all live as dhimmis, is fooling himself.

    and anyone who really wants to know just has to use The Google. you can read what the MB believes in, what their offshoots Hamas and Hezbollah believe in…you don’t have to take Beck’s word. in fact, he always tells his viewers to do their own homework.

    The headline to this article is a bit misleading. I didn’t see Beck “trash” anyone today, but I admit I missed a few minutes here and there. I saw him present their accusation and him substantiate his original statements. I would think by now everyone would realize Glenn isn’t too concerned about being “in” with either side.

    Glenn’s crime against the conservative right is that he has collected the politically expedient myths of the right, as Freinkenstein collected corporal elements, sewn them together into a monster that he is attempting to animate through the strength of his breath. Professional conservatives understand that such a monstrosity on the march will only lead to revulsion and rejection of not only the doctor, but the hideous elements that have so long served them.

    BECK: Iraq is really important, especially to the Shiites, especially to the Twelvers who are in charge of [Iraq] right now. Because what is in Iraq? There’s one place that [Bush I and Bush II military officials] told our bombers not to bomb. Does anybody know what it was?

    Two wars in Iraq. We said no bombing there. Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon. Why? Because the Bible tells us that that is the seat — right here — of power of a global, evil empire.

    Beck trashes the Standard for not digging deep enough.

    Today on the Glenn Beck program Glenn tells his audience that conservative reporters need to dig deeper for the facts and and report what they find even if the rest of the world thinks they are nuts that somehow there could be a possible globule Caliphate. Blah, blah blah…. Bill Kristal is one of those who need to… Blah blah blah blah….

    So to recap, of all the chuckle heads who posted to this thread to make fun of “Glenn’s Theory”…

    2:18 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYYLr-7lqMQ

    …only two had the courage to challenge any part of it. Actually, the quotation regarding Babylon and the Bushes doesn’t have any relation to “Glenn’s Theory,” since the “Bush’s” don’t factor into it. Again, 2:18. And since both chose the same quotation, I presume this to be merely a talking point lifted from a site critical of “Glenn’s Theory.”

    So… when asked to counter or dispel Glenn’s ‘conspiracy’ talk, we’re offered noting but non-sequitur talking points and the appeal to ridicule logical fallacy. Can no one who posts here legitimately counter “Glenn’s Theory?”

    It’s sort of an unfair question to the posters here for not even Kristol bothered to actually do the work and debunk “Glenn’s Theory” with facts. The same with Maddow. The same with Mathews. etc. etc. They can’t, and don’t, for the facts, broken down to their simplest expression, are true. Both Islamists and hardcore elements on the left are not compatible with our current system and seek to overthrow it’s influence. It might be argued that the facts are true but aren’t particularly important, for the influence of either the hardcore left or radical Islamists are minimal, but even this hasn’t been attempted. Now what remains is to determined why the facts aren’t receiving play in other media.

    A true cynic might see this whole row purely as a play over domestic politics to see, going into the presidential nomination season, which political voice has greater ascendancy on the right; a libertarian television host with 2+ million viewers and influence in the tea-party or the neo-con editorial staff of a magazine with a readership of 65,000 wedded to the legacy of recent republican presidents.

Once she made a mistake Kristol was off her bandwagon and started bad mouthing her. He has the shiteatingest grin I have ever seen when FOX News uses him on Sundays with Wallace or weekdays on BB’s Special Report. I have no idea where Beck is going with his latest rant since I am out with the cattle when his show is on but, if Kristol and Chrissy ‘Sissified Girlieboy With Tingles & Thrills” Matthews are on his case then Beck must be doing something right.

    This is ridiculous. Why are we having this discussion. Muslims are taking over the world! It’s ridiculous and very worrisome that the words of a fool are taken so seriously, even by a relatively small number of people – a few million, maybe – who’s given a megaphone by Rupert Goebbels. The Muslim world is falling apart, hopefully to be reconstituted as something better. Over the years, our government has done everything possible to keep the Muslim states in a state of disarray. Let’s face it all we have wanted is their oil, and that they should make nice-nice to the Israeli’s who haven’t been especially helpful. Hopefully, things are changing for the better. Just imagine if the Republicans were in power. After our futile and totally immoral war on Iraq, we would have already bombed Iran and we’d be itching to intervene with our soldiers in Egypt. And here we already have a over a hundred comments, many of them justifying and rationalizing Beck’s idiocy. As for Kristol, he is probably a more reprehensible figure than even Beck.

    Two wars in Iraq. We said no bombing there. Ancient Babylon. Ancient
    Babylon. Why? Because the Bible tells us that that is the seat — right
    here — of power of a global, evil empire.

    Well, that’s also where the 12th imam from Iran is supposedly going to
    show up. Everybody on this side wants ancient Babylon for their
    caliphate.

    So why, in Beck’s view, did the Bushes not bomb Babylon?
    Beck: “Why? Because the Bible tells us that that is the seat — right
    here — of power of a global, evil empire.”

    This explicitly means that the Bushes did it because: “Everybody on this side wants ancient Babylon for their
    caliphate.”

    Explain where the evidence is sir.

    No, he’s explicitly explaining why nobody wanted to see deeply symbolic ruins blown up. It has meaning to everyone who has cultural roots stemming from these ancient lands. There’s absolutely no casual relationship stated or implied to the actions of either George Bush beyond the symbolic nature of the ruins. There’s no intoned relationship between Bushes and the Muslim Brotherhood to be had within these words. And you can find none without purposely attributing false interpretation to what was said.

    Do you people have some issue with the concept of language or what? Or are you just fuck-tarded? Beck would have said that if he believed that. You’re little demagogue is an imbecile who has gone too far with his conspiracy theories.

    The O’Beckerhead phenomenon in recent weeks is surprising. He seems to be getting loonier and loonier whilst he is also stumbling a bit. The Power Structure Right is distancing itself from him even as it has begun openly criticizing him. We have witnessed something similar happening with Palin. Moderates, Liberals and Progressives effectively prevented her from gaining more approval, but were powerless, of course, from completely thwarting her. Almost on cue, the Power Structure Right stepped in and seems to have dealt her some powerful blows. She keeps her very small base of utter loons, but seems blocked in to the extent that she appears to have difficulty establishing that she could win a single state. She has been effectively discredited, but, again largely from the Right. Is this happening to O’Beckerhead? His fan-base is a small, loyal core, but he doesn’t seem to be expanding. The Palin phenomenon is easy to understand. Mainstream Republicans understood as early as the days after she was nominated that she was a very dangerous candidate, effectively discrediting McCain in about 72 hours. But, her conservative bona fides cannot be so easily attacked. O’Beckerhead is more difficult. He is much more an Elmer Gantry/Father Coughlin like character developing a cult of personality more than a coherent conservative playbook. To some extent that makes him immune from attack until the inevitable personal stumble all such characters face. But Gantry and Coughlin merely suffered from the sin of pride in some very profound ways. They were at all times orthodox. O’Beckerhead is self-absorbed and suffers mightily from the sin of pride, but he also espouse an unorthodox, heretical theology that makes him more vulnerable. I suspect when the Right goes in for the O’Beckerhead kill it is that heretical core of teaching which will prove to be his soft under-belly.

    Bill Kristol is just another Rino Check this out. Check out his meeting with Obama below. I wonder if this is like a CBO( Doug Elmendorf) meeting moment below. Afterwards Elmendorf started making up better numbers. I remembered reading it somewhere before. googled and found guess who’s reported on it below. Please pass around . More liberals are quoting Kristol now than conservatives.

    Barack Obama took the next big step in his Republican charm offensive on Tuesday night, when he dined with several of the nation’s most prominent conservative pundits.
    The president-elect arrived at the Chevy Chase, Md., home of syndicated columnist George Will shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a press pool report. Greeting him at the residence were other luminaries of the conservative commentariat, including the Weekly Standard’s William Kristol, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post

    Here’s a verse

    Doctors are retiring earlier but we’re getting 17000 new IRS
    This is how Obama creates health care jobs I guess
    For 234 years this country’s been God’s blessing.
    Now he’s following Cloward and Piven’s to bankrupt the country I’m guessing
    If Obamacare gives Grandma and Grandpa a scare
    Think how when their rationed and die earlier we’ll save on healthcare

    Hey guys if you fought at Iwo or the Chosen

    This explicitly means that the Bushes did it because: “Everybody on this side wants ancient Babylon for their
    caliphate.”

    The twelvers run Iran, not Iraq, genius. Ahmedinijad is a twelver. Khameni has declared himself the messenger of the twelfth Imam. When he says “this side” while referring to twelvers, he’s referring to Iran. Why is the word [Iraq] in brackets in your quote? Because you’re lying. Here’s what he actually said:

    “Iraq is really important, especially to the Shiites, especially to the Twelvers who are in charge of this country right now. Because what is in Iraq? There’s one place that we told our bombers not to bomb. Does anybody know what it was?”

    And when he said “this country” he was pointing to Iran on the map.

    That clip you linked to? It’s the wrong one. It’s the wrong show. What you’re misquoting, and what you said I could find in the clip you linked is actually in this show. At 12:10 in the clip, when he says “this side”, he’s POINTING AT IRAN on the map. He’s not talking about Iraq or America. He’s talking about Iran, home of the Twelvers.

    Lastly, the Twelvers are not the Muslim Brotherhood. The Twelevers are Shiite. The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni. So your evidence that Beck says the Bushes were in bed with the MB has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the MB. They’re not mentioned and they’re not being referred to.

    God, you people are mendacious morons.

    I’d suggest that everyone here read Andrew C. McCarthy’s new article at National Review online.

    A small portion of this intelligent, well-considered article:

    “That’s anything but clear, and calling for “democracy” in this environment is not clarifying. Secular, pro-Western Muslims and Copts would certainly favor something the West would recognize as democracy. Still, they are a minority and a disorganized one at that. The Islamists, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, are highly organized, but they are most certainly not the latter-day Madisons of Western media lore. The Ikhwan only talks a good democracy game. The Brothers will never walk the walk, because their agenda is sharia. Democratic processes are a serviceable route to power, but democratic principles would not guide their exercise of power.”

    “Much is made, including by President Obama, of the fact that the Brotherhood is a minority faction, popular with perhaps a quarter of Egyptians. That, though, is a formidable plurality — the Bolsheviks probably had less popular support in 1917. To be effective, especially when things are in disarray, a faction doesn’t need to be a majority. It needs to be disciplined and better organized than its competition. Under one authoritarian regime after another for generations, most Egyptians have been busy just trying to get by. Game-planning a revolutionary reordering of society hasn’t been on their radar. But it has been the Brotherhood’s obsession since 1928. Moreover, the Brothers have been gradualists about their goals precisely because they believed it would be important, when their moment finally came, to be ready to hit the ground running.”

    Muslim Brotherhood text reveals scope of radical creed
    By OREN KESSLER
    02/09/2011 02:09

    Translated by Palestinian Media Watch, book details group’s goal of global Islamic conquest.

    One of the greatest beneficiaries of the unrest in Egypt has been the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Banned but tolerated for decades by successive Egyptian regimes, the Islamist movement is now emerging as a central player in the country’s resurgent opposition.

    On Tuesday, two Brotherhood representatives participated in an opposition delegation that met with Vice President Omar Suleiman for the first set of talks over implementing political reforms.

    Pundits have portrayed the Brotherhood as uncompromising zealots or beneficent providers of social services that long-deprived Egyptians desperately need.

    But a translation released Tuesday of a 1995 book by the movement’s fifth official leader sheds light on just how Egypt’s Brotherhood views itself and its mission. Jihad is the Way is the last of a five-volume work, The Laws of Da’wa by Mustafa Mashhur, who headed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt from 1996-2002.

    The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday saw excerpts of the text, compiled by Palestinian Media Watch founder Itamar Marcus and analyst Nan Jacques Zilberdik.

    They detail the Brotherhood’s objectives of advancing the global conquest of Islam and reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate, the public and private duties of jihad and the struggle Muslims must wage against Israel.

    The full text, translated by PMW, will be posted Wednesday on the organization’s website, Palwatch.org.

    Feinstein: “We don’t understand this”crisis in Egypt

    printer-friendly
    The people who are cheerleading immediate democracy in Egypt don’t recall the lesson learned in Gaza, Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) warned MSNBC this morning. Feinstein warned of “fundamentalist Islamic sects” taking control of Egypt in the present chaos and told Andrea Mitchell that “we don’t understand the ebb and flow” of politics in the Middle East, and that simply demanding elections in an environment as unstable as Egypt’s at the present could lead to some very undemocratic long-term outcomes

    Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday he hopes the Obama administration‘s behind-the-scenes handling of the crisis in Egypt is going more smoothly than it looks from the outside.
    Mr. Rumsfeld told the “America’s Morning News” radio broadcast that a confusion of public messages from the White House over the handling of embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was “unfortunate” and has not helped ease the crisis in Cairo. …
    “That is unfortunate, that they seem to be crossways with their assigned diplomat, Frank Wisner and with some differences in terms of people in Washington. I don’t know enough to know precisely what’s taking place, but that tends not to be helpful,” Mr. Rumsfeld said on radio broadcast.
    “I’m hoping there is effective private diplomacy taking place … and the turmoil that we are seeing will ease,” he said.

    The problem is that Beck is suggesting (as always) that the worst is not merely possible, but likely or inevitable. Socialists are taking over America, Islamists are taking over Egypt, China is overtaking everyone. Same old fearmongering crap he always engages in. He completely ignores the myriad of obstacles to any of those things happening. This is the guy who thinks our country has been going the wrong direction since Andrew Jackson. I’m not sure why he even likes America, since by his watch it only lasted in it’s best form for about 50 years or so, and none of us has been living since it was right.

    How about making some suggestions for how to make the outcome in Egypt more positive? What about calling some attention to the capitalists and Christians in Egypt, if that’s what he supports? How about conceding that there are other outcomes that don’t involve the world being in peril? But then telling people to live in fear is his schtick, so I won’t hold my breath.

    Nobody disputes that some Muslims want a caliphate. Nobody disputes that some Socialists might work on some level with Muslim groups. His contention however, is that the two groups have orchestrated this whole thing, and there’s no evidence for it. And he implies they’re the majority, which there is no evidence of. Instead he picks out a few disparate examples and builds a conspiracy out of it He seems to completely ignore the Google executive who was so instrumental to this movement. Or the respected Egyptian businessman ( a capitalist of all things!) Fox ran a story on yesterday who has been part of the protests since day one.

    Beck’s job is to confuse and frighten the easily misled, the uneducated and the religulous base that Democrats are Communists, Socialists, Fascists, Nazis, Marxists, God-less – ANYTHING but American. He is part of the indoctrination into Glennbeckistan ignorance that is repeated on AM Hate Talk Radio and the GOP propaganda – to distract and distort while his true employers, Murdoch, the Saudi Royal Family and Koch Bros., et. al. use our system to war profiteer (i.e., Iraq/Halliburton, Oil). His job on the hate and fear network is to get those unstable people that are blind faith “religulous” and keep them fearful through elections to lie, smear and keep them there. Each propagandist on Fox has a role. This is Beck’s.

    So to recap, of all the chuckle heads who posted to this thread to make fun of “Glenn’s Theory”…

    2:18 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYYLr-7lqMQ

    …only two had the courage to challenge any part of it. Actually, the quotation regarding Babylon and the Bushes doesn’t have any relation to “Glenn’s Theory,” since the “Bush’s” don’t factor into it. Again, 2:18. And since both chose the same quotation, I presume this to be merely a talking point lifted from a site critical of “Glenn’s Theory.”

    So… when asked to counter or dispel Glenn’s ‘conspiracy’ talk, we’re offered noting but non-sequitur talking points and the appeal to ridicule logical fallacy. Can no one who posts here legitimately counter “Glenn’s Theory?”

    It’s sort of an unfair question to the posters here for not even Kristol bothered to actually do the work and debunk “Glenn’s Theory” with facts. The same with Maddow. The same with Mathews. etc. etc. They can’t, and don’t, for the facts, broken down to their simplest expression, are true. Both Islamists and hardcore elements on the left are not compatible with our current system and seek to overthrow it’s influence. It might be argued that the facts are true but aren’t particularly important, for the influence of either the hardcore left or radical Islamists are minimal, but even this hasn’t been attempted. Now what remains is to determined why the facts aren’t receiving play in other media.

    A true cynic might see this whole row purely as a play over domestic politics to see, going into the presidential nomination season, which political voice has greater ascendancy on the right; a libertarian television host with 2+ million viewers and influence in the tea-party or the neo-con editorial staff of a magazine with a readership of 65,000 wedded to the legacy of recent republican presidents.

    Wasting time and energy on anything Beck says is only for the completely moronic or brainwashed Jesus Camp brood that ride dinosaurs. You want history – get an expert – not Beck, Hannity or Limbaugh. All of them failed students with the gift of “hate and fear mongering” gab.

    First of all Jazzy, I’m not a member of the “you guys” club. Secondly, I believe anyone has the right–and generally the responsibility–to ask questions that will lead them to the TRUTH–for so long as their inquiries do not compromise national security (here, I am talking about classified information, etc.) Sadly though, for many, the TRUTH is just too tough to take, and when confronted with the TRUTH, people who don’t want a thing to be true go into denial. As it turns out, I believe we know the truth about 9/11, but there are some people out there who still believe George W Bush flew BOTH planes into the WTC and bailed out just before they hit…or, something to that effect.

    “I believe anyone has the right–and generally the responsibility–to ask questions that will lead them to the TRUTH”

    But Beck routinely lies and he’s an irresponsible, yellow propagandist. He can been seen inciting civil war. It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil” too. I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

    I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

    Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

    Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

    It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.

    I’m actually starting to enjoy GlennBeck’s show. He is becoming more hysterical by the week. This becoming entertainment, in a sad way really. He’s been running paranoid delusions of conspiracy for a long time but now its just getting weird.
    He’s now getting into the “anit-christ”. He’s the modern version of mentally ill man in an sandwich board declaring “the End in Near”.
