In a somewhat bizarre moment on Glenn Beck's program Wednesday, he seemed to agree with what his liberal critics have been saying all along: his show is just bad TV.
"This is the worst television ever done," Beck said, while studying a chalkboard drawing he'd created. "We're doing it every day, congratulations."

He is just like jerry springer. Thats how he has gotten to have a top rated show. All he does is watches and read sites like this and then sets out to do his "tabloid show".

Glen Beck's show is hilarious. Glen Beck can be moderately entertaining as he tries to tie Obama wearing a blue tie to Communist radicals (that nobody really knows about) that once passed through Chicago.
Jersey Shore on the other hand.....

If Beck's show is so terrible and/or he's such a nut case, exactly why do you care? I would think any person - such as yourself - with such highly evolved reasoning capabilities, the kind that allows them to understand and explain such complex issues to the uninformed masses, would have absolutely no problem dismissing and/or ignoring Beck ...
... unless for some reason Beck actually scares the $--t out of you ...
Why, exactly, would that be?
Have you actually watched the show?
If the answer is yes, simply turn it off if it offends you. Tough for elitists to comprehend, but it's not your place to tell others what they should or shouldn't watch, or read, or listen to.
If the answer is no, then WTH are you talking about? Come back to us when you find out.

I know that I am going to get alot of crap from alot of people on here for posting this but here I go.
Glenn Beck is an American hero, and should be given a freakin' medal! He has exposed Van Jones, the Acorn videos, and many other things in the nation that would have otherwise been skimmed over. He makes sense in everything he says, and he is a defender of the American constitution, and sovereignty. He does not have one of the highest rated shows in the U.S. for no reason!

Glenn Beck is doing good work.
I can see how communists, socialists, and others of the same mind will find him threatening. But that is because they hate America. And I for one, am just tired of the shrill squeals of the pusillanimous cretins who hate my country and no longer feel the need to appease their ceaseless calls for its demise.
I guess it just sucks to be a commie these days. Oh well, you had a good run here in the states. Had us all scared for while. The gig is up, comrade.

I wonder if you're defending a guy who claims that his own show is garbage?
Personally, my political interests are geared towards the collective, and thus far, the collective are being swayed to believe misinformation and outright garbage.
So, I wonder...are you active politically, or try to help others make a positive change...or do you sit on the sidelines and allow the madness to continue for the sake of sheer entertainment? Maybe that's the question you should ask yourself.
And...since you asked. Maybe the idea of an idiot political pundit without a conscience does scare me. Why??? Because of the fact that entire political movements, like the tea parties, hold Glenn Beck in the utmost of esteem. These are the same people who are starting militias and other dangerous movements that could powderkeg us into unnecessary violence and upheaval. Have you ever had that thought??? NOPE. Not relevant to someone who probably doesn't care...as you have eloquently stated.
And...what is it that you want for me to talk about that I haven't already stated? Glenn Beck says his show is garbage. Go read the link. I merely posted my opinion on this thread that agrees with Beck. So, since I am in agreement, I'm not sure what YOUR POINT IS.
Thanks for your comment.
Much love to all...
