Beck In the Time Mag Crosshairs! Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America? - TIME

TIMEWARNER [CNN] UNLEASHES ON FOXNEWS BECK...

Excerpt:

On Sept. 12, a large crowd gathered in Washington to protest ... what? The goals of Congress and the Obama Administration, mainly — the cost, the scale, the perceived leftist intent. The crowd's agenda was wide-ranging, so it's hard to be more specific. "End the Fed," a sign read. A schoolboy's placard denounced "Obama's Nazi Youth Militia." Another poster declared, "We the People for Capitalism Not Socialism." If you get your information from liberal sources, the crowd numbered about 70,000, many of them greedy racists. If you get your information from conservative sources, the crowd was hundreds of thousands strong, perhaps as many as a million, and the tenor was peaceful and patriotic. Either way, you may not be inclined to believe what we say about numbers, according to a recent poll that found record-low levels of public trust of the mainstream media.

The article is about the man and his crazed way of imparting his opinions, nothing else.

Thinks he is the next Howard Beale of Network movie fame.

It's about diminishing Beck and it's being done by his former employer. His ratings have skyrocketed since he left. People may not like his style but he has broken a couple of big stories that made his old employers look foolish!

[Show Me the Wire]

Obama is a crazed clown. An uncouth thug killing innocent civilians. Now that is what is bad for America.

[Show Me the Wire]

A philisophical question. Is it difficult for a doctor (chortle, chortle, snort ,snort) to take his own medicine?

Well then the Law and Order team will just have to read him his rights PRONTO and Mirandize him for your benefit....

And not for you too. I remember you were a zealot against these policies up to the Nov. 2008 Presidential elections.

[ArlJim78]

wow, anytime that Time takes a break from an Obama cover you really have to sit up and notice. Beck must be something special to do that.

Uncouth? Ya think,invest in a good dictionary.:lol:

[andymays]

The Beck show today was informative and entertaining. :ThmbUp:

Love Beck or hate him the man put on a good show and he is now ratings gold! :ThmbUp:

[GaryG]

Yo, Van Jones! What are your feelings about Mr. Beck?

[NJ Stinks]

It's about diminishing Beck and it's being done by his former employer. His ratings have skyrocketed since he left. People may not like his style but he has broken a couple of big stories that made his old employers look foolish!

I thought it was an objective look at Beck. Perhaps you don't like the idea that it may be all about money?

Anyway, if they rebuild at Ground Zero like Beck wants, I hope he has the guts to do his thing from the 125th floor. I'm not holding my breath.

If it's all about money then he's doing a lot of good work at the same time.

And Olbermanns all about virtue and righteousness right? :rolleyes:

If you watched his show today you have to admit it was a good show! :ThmbUp:

The Time Mag smear gets him an extra 300k viewers every day from now on.

[Tom]

Is TIME good for America?

No, it is not.
It is Pravda.

Typical for the bottom feeding libs, they investigate the messenger and not the message. But then, I know of no one who reads Times for news or facts. I get more coverage of real issues from MAD Magazine....and looky looky looky who is one THEIR cover too! :lol:

I forget, is Time magazine given away free? :rolleyes:

I can't watch or listen to the guy for 5 minutes. I've tried.

Why bring up Keith? Do you think Keith is my hero? He's over-the-top just like Beck. So what?

[GaryG]

At this point it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of Beck. His ratings are through the roof, he is making money and he has certainly got the administration's attention. He is effecting more changes than could have been imagined. Keep up the good work GB.

I never said Keith was your hero. How would I know that. I see you put them both in the same over-the-top category but one is effective and one is not. One gets great ratings and one does not.

Beck is backing up his reporting with facts and examples so is it Beck or the facts that bother you?

Just in case you missed it, Andy, the far right is consumed with right wing media. While those on the far right are a small band of merry folks, they watch like they are mesmerized. Not so with liberals.

Who knows why? Who cares? There aren't enough right wingers to worry about it despite what you read here.

Did you see the vote in the House today against Acorn. Did you see the vote in the Senate against Acorn. The small band is making a huge difference and that's because quite a few sensible Democrats are standing up and joining the "small band" that isn't so small anymore.

With a majority in the Senate and House they can't get much done and are scrambling. The Democrats are in trouble with their President, House Speaker, and Senate Majority Leader who are all far far left.

Perhaps I invested in a decent thesaurus and if you also do the same, you may discover my word usage was proper, if one believes killing innocent civilians is uncivil. :bang:

And the liberal show hosts on radio and TV do it for what exactly? C'mon, NJ, tell us that with them it's a labor of love. :rolleyes:

NJ, please meet me back here in November of next year and let's see how the "right wingers" do in the mid term elections. You may want to worry about it then.

Why bring up Keith? Do you think Keith is my hero? He's over-the-top just like Beck. So what?The strange thing is you never comment about Keith (unprovoked), even though, according to your own words, he's "just like Beck."

[PaceAdvantage]

There aren't enough right wingers to worry about it despite what you read here.Do I have to go into yet ANOTHER rant about how your statement is not backed up by what is happening (or not happening) in the political realm as far as "left wingers" are concerned?

[NJ Stinks]

The strange thing is you never comment about Keith (unprovoked), even though, according to your own words, he's "just like Beck."

Here's a few comments on Keith I made in October 2008. The subject was "Olbermann & O'Reilly Shows" so I guess I was provoked. :)

Olberman deserves credit for being the first guy with a real platform to tell righties that they are full of crap. That said - he goes too far nowadays.

I think Keith was on a leash when he first got a show. When it was obvious O'Reilly was going to continue to slay Keith ratings-wise, MSNBC decided it had nothing to lose and let Keith loose. So whoever said Keith was 2 faced - I disagree.

Anyway, I watch Keith because I love it when he nails the righties. For the most part it bullseye broadside! :D But after awhile, I have to grab the remote and let O'Reilly try to convince me he is toughest guy on Long Island. FYI Bill cannot convince me he is fair and balanced. But he has convinced me that he has convinced himself. :rolleyes:

And just to show I can go off-topic, Hannity is the biggest moron out there. If you think Keith is biased at what he does, Sean is even worse. Any rightie not embarrassed by Sean's interviews of McCain and Palin is - well lets just say you are probably posting right here! :p

P.S. I like Colmes. He fights the good fight in a sea of Red.

[PaceAdvantage]

Had to go back almost a year, eh? WTG!

[NJ Stinks]

Why would I bring up what Keith says here? Not only do the folks who bring up what Rush, Glenn, and Bill said get tatooed here :lol: but it implies that I'm parroting Keith here. Uh-oh. These crazy thoughts are all my own. :( :D

For BO this might be a steep learning curve due to his acute narcissism. He will have to learn (albeit with great difficulty) that the Party is bigger than he is. When Dems start jumping the BO ship, this is because they fear for their own political survival.

Having said this, however, I wouldn't put too much stock into these anti-ACORN votes since SEIS (the mother ship) is a multi-headed hydra. ACORN will surface again under another name.

Obama is a crazed clown. An uncouth thug killing innocent civilians. Now that is what is bad for America.

who did he kill?

[Quagmire]

who did he kill?

Vince Foster.

[jballscalls]

Vince Foster.

Obama was part of white water?

[46zilzal]

Vince Foster.
Suicide was the conclusion of three separate studies of a man tormented and taking large doses of anti-depressant medication, BUT craziness persists.

[Quagmire]

Obama was part of white water?

Yes while visiting from Kenya.

[Tom]

who did he kill?

Many Pakistanis.
And White Water? :lol::lol: Hardly!

I saw a few GB shows and he certainly is enjoyable to watch with his enthusiastic and amiable manner. Apart from telling us that Washington may be corrupt and that Washington holds the power in USA what is new or important in dealing with USA's really important current problems? Is there a GB way of economic recovery without Government support. Does GB know how to defeat the Taliban etc? What happens when the oil runs out?

Many innuendos are given but facts are very few and far between. He was even quoting the UK's Daily Mail as a source for the Washington demonstrations - that is truly desperate.

Private companies take money in profit from USA citizens to sponsor/bribe USA politicians. If they don't take the money then they don't get elected. What is GB going to do or get others to do about the basic cause rather than just repeatedly highlighting the effects? Certainly it can be feared in the current climate that amongst the small cult audience of 3M "angry white man" believers there might be a few just needing a nudge to be tipped towards committing major acts of violence.
