What do you think of Glenn Beck?

Recommended Posts

Quote

Sure. Now, let me ask you a question: If you were in a theater that was NOT on fire and some insane liar shouted "FIRE!" In order to cause a panic that results in people dying. Do you think he should be prosecuted?



Produce evidence to prove he has done anything dangerous.... You can't

Quote

I've watched Beck and listened for myself to what he says. EVERYTHING Quade posted is true.



Then since he has not been able to produce it... You should have no problem showing where he incited a riot.

Quade...do you think Beck is dangerous?


A bit. People that cause a panic and actively incite riots usually are.

And here again is proof positive you have never really listened to him.
Period


Right.

Because encouraging people to carry guns near the President while also encouraging them to carry signs about watering the tree of liberty isn't inciting a riot.

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.


Yet again, you post the lies of the left wing web sites.
NONE of what you just posted is true
The only way you know any of what you post is true it if you LISTEN. EVEN IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH HIM:S

YOU and billvon really need to choose different sites to get your opinions


I've watched Beck and listened for myself to what he says. EVERYTHING Quade posted is true.


What you just posted is a lie. And you can not provide a transcript to show what I am saying to be a lie


You're lying.

I think we're done here.;)

I hate him, I cant believe he got away with calling Van Jones a commie?!?! He should be taken off of the air and sent to a reeducation camp, allong with everyone from fox the wall street journal, cnn and anyone to the right of air america.


I agree with you. I think Glenn Beck is shouting "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.


If you were in the theater and it was on fire would you not want someone to tell you that it was on fire?



You'd want somebody with a voice of authority directing people to calmly leave the theater in an orderly fashion; not start a panic.



Maybe nobody was listening and more direct aproach is needed.

When I first heard Glenn Beck, I thought he was a bit of a loony red neck hick. But since then, I have listened to him and found him to be rather funny. I do not agree with everything he says, but he does bring up many good points.

Glenn Beck is an entertainer. How is Glenn Beck any different than some of the other political entertainers like John Stewart and Stephen Colbert? Stewart and Colbert can be very funny, but they are also extremely partisan with their political messages. Outside of their partisanship, there is little difference between Glenn Beck, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. They say things to draw attention and to primarily boost their ratings.

The difference is that Glenn Beck is a stupid, propagandist clown, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are highly intelligent satirists.

Good grief give it a rest. Rhetoric like this just shows the world how much hatred brews in your head. Once again Glenn Beck is an entertainer not all that different than Stewart or Colbert, except that the message is different.

Hmmm, no. The difference is that both Stewart and Colbert admit they're entertainment. If Glenn Beck is going to do things like start start up Tea Bagging and 9/12 he's trying to be more than simply an entertainer.

Agreed. People who listen to Beck (or Colbert) for factual information are going to be quite misinformed most of the time. They don't make more money by telling the truth, they make money by entertaining people. If Colbert can poke fun at Limbaugh, or if Beck can cry on demand to "prove" how patriotic he is - well, that _does_ make them money.

On the other hand, it is true that intelligent satire plays an important POSITIVE role in public discourse. What Glenn Beck does is neither intelligent nor positive. He is a buffoon who substitutes dangerous propaganda in the place of facts in a completely illogical and disingenuous manner.

Nor is it satire! Unless he's satirizing disingenuous right wing numbskulls, but that's Colbert's schtick.

As far as I can tell, your panties are all bunched up because I said,"I've watched Beck and listened for myself to what he says. EVERYTHING Quade posted is true."

Then you called me a liar.:S

Ok, post where he is wrong!! Dont generalize but be specific please. He tells anybody he will give them an hour to come on his show (or email him and he will read it) and show him to be wrong.

I wont hold my breath.

I also am positive you get your opinions about him from some pro government left wing web site and you have listened a little, if any to him. So, we have here another example of some one have an opinion given to them.

If I said 2+2=4 would that fact require a transcript before you'd believe it was my opinion?

Just the fact that Stewart and Colbert are on a cable channel named "COMEDY CENTRAL" pretty much lets you know right up front what you're getting.

Beck on the other hand is on "FOX NEWS".

Stewart and Colbert are in fact satire.
Beck is at the very least trying to fool people into what he is saying is news.

Now, if you can't figure out that 2 + 2 really does equal 4, then no transcript in the world is going to satisfy you.

Bug off.
