Glenn Beck (2 Viewers)

Are we watching the same video?I seen him nodding his head to this quote

"It's an absurd situation. Only Osama can execute an attack that will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary"

At what point does Glenn or his guest say they want America to be bombed?
 
Major tool. The other day he was pushing a conspiracy theory that the whole point of Obama's programs like the stimulus package, green jobs, etc was stealth reparations for the blacks. Obama couldn't outright support reparations because then he couldn't continue to play the race card.

I kid you not. :lmao:

 
Has anyone else heard Glenn Beck's "Moron Trivia". On Fridays during the football season, he calls random convenience stores of the two cities that are playing each other and asks the "shelf replenishment engineers" a series of questions. Whichever one gets the most right, he predicts will win that week's football game. Some of the answers he gets are outrageous. Below is an example of a game between Atlanta and Philly:

Question:

Bill Gates is the founder of what company?

Falcons:

Ah, HP?

Glenn's Response:

HP, by Bill Gates. No. It was Gatesway computers with the boxes that look like pigs.

Eagles:

Bill Gates? I don't know, no idea.

Glenn's Response:

He's the inventor of Windows. Before he invented windows, all we had were doors. It left our houses pretty dark.

Are you kidding me? I can't stand Glenn Beck. He's so smarmy and such a smart-###. I want to punch the guy. I could see how he'd appeal to some on the right in the FFA but....in NO way would my show be anything like that.

So apparently the principle and value of honesty is window dressing. The whining and playing the victim is bush league as well.

The only thing Beck got wrong was that he approached Walters. He inadvertently said that she approached him. Is it really that big of a deal? Everything else was 100% accurate.

The real truth behind "The View" incident
Click to expand...
Who knows what happened here. I have to laugh at this guy's investment in this he said/they said nonsense.The issue seems to be over whether The View's group actually reserved the sets. They say they didn't since they were looking for seats and couldn't find any until the last car. Steve Kroft was with them and couldn't sit with them. If they were reserved, I don't see how that would be the case. Regardless, it seems perfectly possible that Amtrak took it upon themselves to "reserve" the seats in some manner without them knowing about it. Glenn's blanket statement that Amtrak doesn't reserve seats would then be completely false. They may in some cases, but this is still not clear throughout any of this.

I think The View hens were all up in a tizzy about Glenn's dismissive characterization of them as being entitled media princesses. Nothing that online journalist did shed any real light on any of this as it seems plausible that they could both be right about this in some respects: the seats weren't reserved by Walters, Goldberg, et al. but Amtrak took it upon themselves to do so. Seems entirely possible.

The massive chub this guy gets over his calls and emails to Amtrak is hilarious. This is about as clear as mud, and about as important.

Fox's Glenn Beck: President Obama is a racist

By DAVID BAUDER (AP) – 16 hours ago

NEW YORK — Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Barack Obama is a racist.

Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."

His remarks came during a discussion of Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.

An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said the White House had no comment on Beck.

Beck's statement was challenged on the air by Fox host Brian Kilmeade, who noted that most of the people who work for the nation's first black president are white.

"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."

Beck wondered, during the discussion, what other president would immediately jump on the police for their actions in the case. Obama said in a news conference that he believed the police acted stupidly in the case, but later backtracked from the statement and invited Gates and the police officer, Sgt. James Crowley, to the White House for a conciliatory meeting later this week.

Bill Shine, Fox News senior vice president of programming, told the TVNewser Web site that Beck had "expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions."

Racial controversies are hardly new to presidents. In 2005, entertainer Kanye West said during a telethon after Hurricane Katrina that President George W. Bush "doesn't care about black people."

Beck, also a radio host and best-selling author, was an immediate hit with Fox News Channel viewers, starting in January when he made the jump from HLN (formerly CNN Headline News).

Beck didn't speak about the racial comments on his own daily Fox show Tuesday.

I wonder if the other two "hosts" of Fox and Friends would have even challenged Beck on his statement. I know that isn't the main point - but Kilmeade is the only host of the 3 that doesn't seem like a complete stooge.

Mr. Obama brought this upon himself by getting involved in an affair that had nothing to do with Healthcare or the Presidency. He should have simply made no comment, as he wasn't in position to judge. He chose to get involved, escalating the controversy over race, and adding questions to his integrity over race.

Yeah, you always hear the same defense about Louis Farrakhan- oh, he can be a little messed up from time to time, but he does a lot of good things as well- teaches Black youths to be responsible and stay off drugs, etc.Extremists are extremists. You can't define them any other way.

Awsome.

 
He helps encourage the loonies out there, such as the white supremacists who want to kill the President. I suspect that he knows he is encouraging them, but doesn't care.

It's good to know that now, that a mixed race man is president, there is no more racism in America anymore.

and fox new had a BS apology basically saying This morning, Glenn Beck made a controversial remark that we wish to distance our network from. However, we will continue to employ Mr. Beck and profit from any and all asinine comments he makes in the future.

What is exactly is factual about the statement that Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." What a remarkable statement to make on national television. For Pete's sake, Obama is half white, and raised entirely by his white mother and grandparents. I'm really missing the boat on why so many people take Beck seriously.
