Glenn Beck

[BlueBalls]

Wow, Ol' Glen was being discussed way back when.

At least he's keeping himself current :1orglaugh.

 

[Friday on my mind]

I like a long lost thread where I get to vote "He Blows".:thumbsup:

 

[titsrock]

The crying directly into the camera is awesome. I wish he did his entire show "in tears"....that would be even awesomer.

 

[Facetious]

W/out looking into this guy's history, how do you guys know of him ?
Is he supposed to be popular or something ?

Note: All I watch on tv is Animal Planet, A & E, The old Court TV - "REAL TV is it? , The Hitler Channel (HIST) and some auto racing wherever it happens to be, all totaling about 8 hours a month. Maybe that's why I'm outta the loop. ha ha :hatsoff:

I avoid like the plague tuning into any political oriented programming while at home relaxing, they all just creep me out so much, damned cretins !! It's just and endless pissing contest.

Ah well :o

I'm still trying to figure out why you bumped this thread? If you really avoid political programming that is....

When the Beckster was on Headline News, he used to have Ted Nugent on his show all the time. Now that the Beckster bailed Headline News for Fox, he's added the "evangelical" "tears of Jimmy Swaggart" to his Fox persona? I'm not sure the Nuge has been on his show since he moved to Fox.

No, he's not popular. He's just another minion in Rupert Murdoch's Army...:dunno:

He has the NYT #1 bestseller right now. Personally, I don't like any ideologues, and he's one of them. But he makes a lot of good points about the Feds making terrible decisions to grow their "empire" right now.

That's kinda what I thought. I considered "screw him" but "he blows" seems so much more appropriate!

What a fucking idiot this guy is. He looks the part too.

BUT....I'm sure he's making a helluva lot more money than I am!!!!

Fuck....there's no justice! :crying:

He made a lot of very good points during the cap and trade bill debate (I still do not know how the fucking liberals passed that, a person in a vegetative state would have voted no). Also he speaks with emotion and believes in what he's saying rather than reading from the teleprompter with as little emotion as possible (Keith Olbermann). In fact that's why I watch Fox News, because they're not reporting that Obama and his family went to Five Guys for lunch and what they ordered.(Your journalism degree has now been officially declared worthless after you reported that).

 

[NavyBlue]

He's a Rush wannabe who cries, whines, screams like a lunatic, and saying outrageous things like California shouldn't be part of a union to get attention. Pathetic loser.

To paraphrase in the style of the aforementioned Keith Olbermann.....

"You, sir, are an absolute lunatic!"

LOL....only kidding but seriously I think you let your little secret bias out with the use of the words "fucking liberals" in your post. You've voluntarily labeled yourself as a "right-wing nutball" as a result of that statement. Then again, that's just my opinion. Others may disagree but I doubt it.

I urge you to keep exclusively using Faux news as your information source and that you keep that head of yours inserted squarely up your ass. You certainly wouldn't want any other data, facts or opinions to interfere with what you have already concluded to be the correct stance on any given subject.

Otherwise, I hope you have a great weekend! :thumbsup:

When he had a show on CNN or HLN, I would watch him on occasion. Then I noticed he went away (I guess so Nancy Grace could do minute by minute updates on Tot Mom, Tot Mom, Tot Mom, Tot Mom... infinity) and I didn't know what happened to him. When I finally caught Beck's show on Fox, he'd changed. I've watched a couple of the Fox and FBN people before they went to Fox: Bill O'Reilly, Stuart Varney, Neil Cavuto and now Beck. I don't know if they were nutty before and kept it hidden, or if they play up their lunatic fringe nuttiness because that's what some Fox viewers expect.

Either way, I don't have time for conspiracy theories and lunatic fringe speculation passing as news or even commentary.

LOL....only kidding but seriously anyone who thinks that Glenn Beck is a legitimate source of lucid opinion or viewpoint has a serious lack of ability to consider all sides of an equation in an objective fashion before making a decision. I think you let your little secret bias out with the use of the words "fucking liberals" in your post. You've voluntarily labeled yourself as a "right-wing nutball" as a result of that statement.

Keith Olbermann is just as bad if not worse than Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck at least has the common decency to not feature a segment named "Worst Person of the World." I'm fine with the term "right wing nutball", it's better than "left wing hippie." Also keep watching MSNBC and there daily Obama worshipping. I'm sure it will be just dandy when Obama proceeds to fuck the entire United States over with his crappy policies. Have a great weekend assclown!:thumbsup:

Just the type of response I expected. I watch a lot of news channels, Mr. Ozmanks....I'm a news junkie and I damn sure ain't no "left-wing hippie". I watch Olbermann, Hannity, O'Reilly, Maddow, Dobbs, and a lot of stuff in between and I like to examine all sides of an issue before I make up my mind on any given subject. However, since, by your own admission, you simply use Fox as your news and op-ed source, you're obviously more well-informed than I am.

Also, I never called you any names or flipped you the bird so I guess you are just by nature an intolerant and obtuse individual....especially when faced with the truth.

Also keep watching MSNBC and there daily Obama worshipping.

Oh....and not to be petty, but the correct usage of the word in that context is "their", not "there".

Then, you are a poorly informed "news junkie". You watch tend to watch opinion shows (as evidence by your post) where one person is given one hour or a half hour to speak their mind about various issues. Now, I on the other hand, watch Fox News throughout the day and listen to NPR and BBC news. Therefore I have superior knowledge of the News. Intolerant? I guess having your own opinion and sticking to it qualifies as "intolerant." Also, since you want to get technical "ain't" is not a word and "Also, I never" should be "Also, I've never."

LOL....touche on the grammatical shit but the "ain't" reference was deliberate my friend. And, no, the intolerant reference was directed at your name-calling and "fuck you" emoticon which was totally without justification. I'd appreciate a retraction and accompanying apology.

I don't want to write a book on this either but since I never said I don't watch hard news (religiously actually to the never-ending chagrin of my ever-so-tolerant wife who would much rather be watching Tivo episodes of One Life To Live). However, if you say you have superior knowledge of the news then God-dammit (misspelled deliberately!), you must be correct! (NOT!)

Threads really aren't the place for exchanges like this. Other posters get shut out and bored really quickly so if you want to take this discussion private I'd be glad to compare notes with you as long as you want to keep it civil. It is only through the even and thoughtful exchange of differing ideas that we can hope to bridge the gap that divides people like you from people like me. If that would happen, You Might be surprised how much we may truly have in common. If not....well, life goes on now doesn't it?

Hope to hear from you sometime.

My intentions were to agitate you on Friday afternoon j/k
Well, I've seen threads and chit chat about him before, so I thought that I would chime in about my initial impression. Again, does he always speak real slow and measured or was today just one of ''his days" ? (If anybody else heard him today).

He's no Lou Dobbs, that's for sure.... ha ha !

No, he's not popular. He's just another minion in Rupert Murdoch's Army...:dunno:

Didn't Murdoch have a strong desire to get Hilary elected, ought eight ?
