Does anyone here watch, listen or podcast Glenn Beck?

So do any of you watch Glenn Beck? if so what do you think of his argument?

**rebel** · 10-20-2009, 10:56 AM

Yea. Which argument are you referring ?

**MKStone3101** · 10-20-2009, 11:22 AM

I watch and listen. He makes some good points on some issues. I do think the constitution is being pushed aside by the present administration. Just my 2 cents.

**MilVetPatriot** · 10-20-2009, 01:42 PM

I listen to Glenn Beck and also agree that our Constitution is being trampled on. Actually there is not much I disagree with him on. His new book just came out for those of you that like to read....Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government
It can be purchased at Wal-Mart among many other locations.

I listen to him.

**laughingbeetle** · 10-20-2009, 04:00 PM

Who? Who's that?

**Ole WV Coot** · 10-20-2009, 04:54 PM

Yep, I try to catch his program most days. If I didn't agree with most of what he says I wouldn't bother to watch.

**SARKY** · 10-21-2009, 10:34 AM

do any of you get his free news letter? What do you think about the whitehouse going after Fox news? How do you feel about all the commies Obama has around him?

**MKStone3101** · 10-21-2009, 11:54 AM

I get his newsletter and read it as often as I can. As for the whitehouse going after fox it doesnt surprise me any. From what I have seen this administration will go after anyone that allows a voice to be spoken against what it is trying to sell the people. And as for commies, well I was raised by a WWII vet who fought with Patton (Dad was a tank jockey) and he didnt like commies very much and to be honest I am not a fan of socialism in any form. just my 2 cents worth!

Careful now. Your survey has been done, but delving into your next few questions will cause the thread to be locked down.

I watch Beck almost daily, and most often agree with him. (Not always crazy about his style, though.)

Ah, yes. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press. That was the topic of a commencement speech I gave in 1974. We needed it back then. We need it now more than ever.

**sgtdraino** · 10-23-2009, 11:03 PM

I watch/listen to him occasionally, entertaining guy. I think I'm actually more partial to Michael Savage.

Of course, I don't agree with either of them 100% of the time.

**Rick** · 10-24-2009, 10:22 AM

I don't watch too many of them. Let's face it, they are also about ratings. They are hardly balanced reporting. Odd that folks who don't trust the "media" would trust what guys like Beck or Limbaugh say.

Or vice-versa.

**Rick** · 10-24-2009, 04:12 PM

I guess the difference is you can get through a lot of news from different sources in the time it takes to listen to one of them. (shrug)

Glenn, Rush, Sean, Boortz, Laura Ingrahm, etc. You're right that they have an idiological view point, but aside from the parody's and kidding around - are they wrong? The interesting thing I find about talk radio is that the intelectually honest hosts stand up to their critics - those in the media, and those that call into the shows. If their points of view were proven wrong I doubt they would be as popular as they are.

Certainly more balanced than the lame stream media! They never picked up the story on ACORN until the congress defunded them. They also didn't jump on the congress for saying that "it was too difficult to post the medical bill on the web for all to see" . So who is actually doing the reporting of news here? They have had no problem giving this administration a pass on everything where as FOX had no problem slamming Bush when he was wrong. Don't bother puting Hannity in the same boat as the others as he is a hack for the republicians.
Maybe they trust Beck because he is simply asking valid questions of this administration, questions most of us would like answered factually! Where the "media" has NOT been the watch dog of the people for a long, long time.
