No he's not. I'm willing to bet that all you know about Glenn Beck you learned from Huffington Post and The Daily Show. Why don't you actually watch one episode end-to-end and see if you haven't learned something.

I'll tell you what I've learned most by watching Glenn Beck: that I'm guilty of not doing my civic duty... that I must do more than just vote... citizens have the responsibility to monitor what their elected officials do and complain directly to their Mayor, Representatives, Senators, and, yes, President, when they stray.

If you've watched a Glenn Beck show and haven't learned that, then maybe you're an idiot.

Jonas,

Two thumbs way up!

Wrong...really??? was he Wrong about Acorn..I think not, I think we need more like him that aren't afraid to uncover the truth whether it's good or bad the truth is still the truth!

Why when a liberal makes a comment, They always say mean and bad things and usually is mean. They try to destroy the character of another person. Must mean that they, themselves, have no real personality. When a conservative makes a comment, they say the reason they believe the Person is good and praise them.

Dear Wiley,

Please do spell out exactly what Glenn was wrong about? What was the show about? Was he wrong about ACORN? The Communist Green Jobs Czar? How Pres Obama has said that Cap and Trade will dramatically increase the cost of energy? Was he wrong when Glenn pointed out that Senator Barack Obama said he would have no lobbyists anywhere near his administration, but now has a half dozen former lobbyists among his Czars?

Please do tell us exactly what facts Glenn had wrong.

Wiley - Just wondering which episodes you've watched?

I've watched most of his shows and seems to me he's called most things correctly.When he is wrong, he says he's wrong. But ACORN? Hmmm? Wasn't wrong about that. Czars having "progressive socialist ties" - hasn't been wrong about that.

Most folks who don't like him - have NEVER watched him. They watch "clips" of him that other news stations play, or scan through him. But Glenn is not against Democrats, by the way. He's pretty much against corrupt government whether they are from the Democratic side of the aisle or Republican side.

As for hateful things another person talked about - I don't recall anything hateful coming from his mouth. Sarcastic - you bet. Ironic, yes. But he doesn't spew hate. It's not Hateful simply because some don't agree with what he says.

If you think he gets things wrong Mimzy47 - please elaborate and tell us of WHICH facts you are speaking. Vague references just don't cut it.

Dear Leslie & Dear Wilie,

You are both idiots. It is good you have identified yourselves.

You need to get into the sun and grow a bit before making fools

of yourselves.

That's right, Leslie,

When you can't support your argument with objective facts or reason, just hurl epithets or call people names. It's REALLY effective.

you must be the main character in Glenns new 'Arguing with Id.....s book

though I am much too nice to call anyone else names

Totally agree with Jonas. Glenn Beck does not tell us what to think, he asks questions such as WHY, and DOES IT MATTER? For the people that cant stand Glenn Beck, then you must not be interested enough in our freedoms to even take the time to ask WHY or to take the time to ask yourselves Does it matter. If it doesnt matter to you then there are numerous other countries that I am sure you may find comfortable.

My dear,

You could not possibly have ever listened to Glenn Beck, or you wouldn't say that. You are just one of the lemmings following the "progressives" into Hell.

Hmmm. Idiot? So someone who digs up actual audio and video footage of Obama and his top cabinet officials proclaiming their desire to turn our democracy into a Hugo Chavez style commie structure based upon taking wealth by force from those who earn it and giving to those who support their cause is some great injustice, I guess you are right. Only an idiot would stand up to tyranny at the highest levels of government. Funny how the Obama administration never goes on his show to rebut any of the documentation he has accumulated. Guess Obama really has nothing to say about the accuracy of Glenn's research.

I take offense to that comment - but I'm sure I shouldn't give you credit for having any sense if that is how you display your knowledge of our current political climate. It does seem that the left can make no viable contributions other than nastiness, name-calling, and negative comments. Listen to Glenn Beck for one week - remove your ill-informed ego from the process - and learn something.

Lets just remember that Wiley Coyote was a self declared "Supra (Not Super!) Genius". And I watched a few episodes of his hijinks and we all know how well that genius served him.

If you want to piss off a Conservative; Lie to him.

If you want to piss off a Liberal; Tell him the truth.

then that makes two of you...

It takes one to tell one.

Even if you don't listen to a word Glenn Beck says, and just listen to only the facts that he shows you (video and sound clips), you should be able to make a logical choice on what is right or wrong. And I would be willing to bet, that if you actually listened, then your choice would probably be the same as Glenn Becks.

As for the people just calling each other names.. That's why you don't understand the Glenn Beck show. Because you don't know what the difference is between facts and YOUR own opinion. Say Glenn is a fat lier.. That is your opinion. Due to our nice constitution, you have that right. At least, for now it seems... But please do reference your work. That's right, maybe it is the Glenn Beck haters that can't read.. Afterall, I believe it is Glenn Beck that has some of the best selling BOOKS on the market today. hmm.. Fact??? If you say he lies, then tell us when.. Trust me, I will confront him myself if you can catch him in a lie. Afterall, I don't see the whitehouse calling his show whenever he asks for a fact check..

I was never really political, but after seeing fact after fact of the craziness that is going on in our government, then wether you like Glenn or not, you should be watching his show just to get informed on what is happening in OUR governement. Yeah, for most of you, it will be information that you wish didn't exist, but that doesn't mean it isn't fact. I am sure Glenn doesn't WANT his government to be corrupt nor more than you do. But just ignoring it won't make it go away. That would only be childish. So grow up people and start standing up for what is Right, not for your own personal agenda.

This isn't a bunch of white people hating on Obama.. Last I checked, Blacks are supposedly a minority, so how did Obama get in office? Either whites help vote him in, corrupted voting, or blacks aren't a minority. Take your pick... But none seem to help your argument any.. Plus, if you have ever watched Gleen Beck, you would know that he doesn't like the Rep. or Dem. party people who are crooks. No corrupt people! Black or White, Republican or Democratic!

I'm not sure which is worse.. The ones on the hill doing bad things for a lot of money and power, or the ones sitting on their butts after the many many things that Glenn Beck has shown you, and for what??? You sit on your butts and let bad things happen (for free), and politicians let bad things happen (for money and power). Maybe we (including myself) are the ones that need to be flogged in public... How much more do you need to see and hear for yourself before you realize just how critical this matter is. Yes, things will be ok for one more day... but how many more??? Time is of the essence my friends, my family, my countrymen. It's time to put your self-pride aside. It's time to stand up.

If this was a regular company, then yeah, maybe bend the rules a little, or let dummies become managers.. But this is the government of the USA.

Wow, intelligent well thought out response.

Way to go Xavier! Its sad to say but the only people you will impress with all that is the conservatives who will want to see the info. All the liberals will ignore it because they don't want to see, hear or know the truth. Glenn Beck is the only person taking the liberal administration on, head to head. With all the ignorant liberals out there with all their hate spewing, Glen takes his life in his hands, imo, when he gets on tv and exposes the truth, and we know it is the truth because the lying liberals can't bring up one valid explanation for anything the white house is doing to destroy the American way of life.

Really? Do you think he is an idiot because he is a Republican, or that he tells it like it is, is cutting edge and sees through all the 'hero worship'? Just curious. If you are a big government person and like paying for all the deadbeats on perpetual welfare, then I understand your comment.

Takes one to know one

A recommendation to Leslie and the rest of you name calling liberals, could you please work on intelligent comments and dialogue? Your name calling is childish and tiresome. It is also very predicatable. Maybe a little reading would help. May I suggest "Arguing with Idiots". I hear it is a number one best seller.

Leslie, It seems that you are the person Becks newest book is for. you must be the idiot he is argueing with. And Beck claimed it was just a conversation with a made up person. Oh wait.....

Obviously Leslie, you're the idiot.

So you think Glenn Beck is an idiot? So what is your opinion of that College boy and Chicago thugs we have in the White House? You know, the one that took over a month to acknowledge there was an oil spill and then still went on vacation, golfing, shooting buckets, fund raisers, correspondence dinner and being entertained (on our dime) by Paul McCartney and others. You know, the one who had his favorite pizza maker from Chicago fly in (again, on our dime) to make pizzas for him and his friends for a football party. All, this and "beer pong" too. Who is the idiot?

Can you tell us which facts he gets wrong?

I'm with Giovanni,

Please enlighten us on the facts he has wrong? Communist Czars in the White House? Anita Dunn (White House Communications Director) stating that the person she looks to for inspiration is CHAIRMAN MAO (if you don't know who Mao is, he was responsible for the deaths of 70 MILLION people--makes Hitler look like a chump). Was he wrong about ACORN? The Tides Foundation? PLEASE POST FACTS! For your entertainment, I'll include a list of books on Glenn's reading list. You should indulge yourself in a few!

"The Real George Washington", "5000 Year Leap", "Thomas Jefferson, The U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, "Atlas Shrugged", "The Forgotten Man"....and so many more. Your statement above indicates that YOU may need to get the book on CD version. Just sayin~

That's an oxymoron..If it is facts it can not be "wrong".

You know, I'm intelligence enough to discern for myself what is true or not. If you do not listen you can not make that decision. I believe that is what Fox states as they report anything. "We report you decide". There are a lot of things that I get mad about when he reports them but it is not because he reports it but because of what he reports. Don't kill the messenger.

Beck tries his best to educate us. That takes a lot of hard work. I appreciate his tenacity. I do know how hard it is to educate people who have no desire to learn and would rather keep their head in the sand.

Before the election last year, I was not very informed. I made up my mind then that I would not be ignorant again of the things going on in America. At that time I listened to different networks but I always came back to Fox.

The difference between stupid and ignorant is: stupid is to know better and do it anyway(you can't fix stupid) and ignorance is unlearned; when you don't know any better (you can be taught).

May God Bless America and May God Bless Glenn.

Glenn Beck is actually impeccable about his "facts". He has every fact right on, he shows videos (not conjecture) about those he targets. He had the goods on Van Jones, and all the other Marxists in the current Administration.

I'm sorry but just because one has read Mao's Little Red Book doesn't make one qualified to judge Mimsy47.

Although the title 'The Last Mimsy' is starting to sound good.

First of all, Beck can't afford to be wrong, if he where wrong he'd be crucified by the left and the media. Second, Glenn probably reads more books in a month than most of the people who critisize him do in a lifetime.

Was the second one a self-interview??? I bet it was.

how sad it is that people still don't get whats happening in this country. for anyone to call glenn beck anything less than a wonderful, brave, intelligent and passionate patriot of this great country, is highly uninformed. i also find it sad that for those who oppose any conservative values in leaders, radio hosts, etc, usually do so with such mean-spirtedness and vulgarity. they never give us reasons why they dislike them, they just shoot off at the mouth with all kinds of worthless insults and never back it up with any facts to the contrary. we are trying to educate people about the fact that you are going to lose your freedom!!! do you get that??? do you have any understanding of what that will mean in this country and to the people who have fought to protect you??? its not about popularity, it's not about you appearing open-minded and progressive. who cares??? do you care that the government will own you and take most of what you earn to cover all the ridiculous bills they come up with that never will benefit any of us??? for those people who are continuing to fight in your behalf, you owe it tothem to at least become educated about the issues at hand and to try and preserve this great nation. if not, move to afghanistan!!! or europe, or russia. there's lots of oppressed countries you'd be happier in and we'd be one step closer to repairing this free nation!

Laurie,

You have them pegged 100%.

Libs are so easy to con!

Everyone that I come in contact with that does not like Beck and love Obama are getting handouts from the government. They don't want to think about the fact that any money they get comes out of someone else pocket. The GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE ANY MONEY...it is our money. The lazy just have a hand out for what they think should be coming their way. They will always vote for bigger government.

Wiley Coyote-Super Genius, I can tell after just reading a few of your posts. You may be wiley but you are definately no genius. Hit and run supidity comments don't prove anything. Tell me one time Glen has lied or misinformed anyone? Why does the WH never refute anything he says with a valid response. I know they call him names like they call me names, but have they ever been able to prove he was lying...about anything?

Your funny and cute I enjoyed the laugh. My boss had to lay off ten people the other day he wanted to be fair so those that sported obama stickers on their car got what they voted for. Out of work. stop the hate what would oprah think of you? News Flash Geez

Glenn Beck clearly states that he's not a journalist, that's he's a commentator. When something is really important, he doesn't even give his opinion. For example, two weeks ago, he had a show dedicated entirely to the H1N1 vaccine. He had two doctors on, one who was in favor of it and one who was against it. Glenn said "I've made up my mind regarding my family and the H1N1 vaccine, but I'm not telling you what it is." He said it was up to us to listen to real experts and to make up our own minds.

I would like to point out, however, that Glenn Beck asks more common sense questions of our elected officials than CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN combined. The mainstream media have stopped keeping our elected officials honest. Thank goodness someone still has the guts to do it.

To Jonas: I completely agree with you. I find that the people who think so little of Glenn Beck have never watched a complete show. My husband has been a committed liberal all his life. I am an Independent and I watch all networks and then decide which shows I will follow consistently. Since I talk about Glenn all the time...he finally watched a few shows with me (just to prove to me that he could find fault with what Glenn has to say). But he couldn't and he is now a fan and I even hear him quoting Glenn!

Linda and Jonas,

I agree. I used to be a democrat/liberal and I hated GLenn Beck. But I had NEVER EVER watched him. I only listened to the other stations bash him or other liberals bash him and got my opinion that way. Then, I decided to watch him one day. And you know what? He's dang good!

He ALWAYS states he's not a journalist (especially since the WH attacked him). He goes after Liberals and Republicans EVENLY! He is against corrupt government. NOT liberals per se.

But most people making these vague comments about him being mean and hateful I would bet my right leg they either watched him ONCE or watched clips of him or simply got their opinion from watching other stations talking about him. I also notice that when folks dont' have all the facts, they use generalties by saying he gets all his facts wrong. Well, okay, which FACTS are those? He says hateful things all the time. Okay, WHAT hateful things does he say all the time?

Watch him - you might find you were sadly mistaken. And you might LEARN something as he talks about the Constitution and economics a lot. Hubby being an economist, says Glenn gets a lot right.

Tstar....hmmm, that sounds a lot like "Czar" to me. Are you sure you arent part of the Obama administration? and/or that you actually paid your taxes?

Deidre,

Those that rail so hard against Glenn usually fall in to two categories... First, libs that have never watched him as you pointed out. Secondly, those that are so madly in love with Obama they would happily wipe his butt after each movement.

With the first group, they could take your lead and try to actually watch Glenn. However, there is nothing on this planet that will fix the problem the second group has. Even giving them a Labotomy would be a waste of time because the results would be the same.

Glenn Beck was asked about his upcoming high salary. He said he was , like sports stars - getting what people believed he was worth.

I say if they don't think he is doing a good job he would get canned fast

He is showing us things people i ngovernment say, their actions and the names they call us. Obama has said he would not sign anything that would add one dime to the deficit. Where is he going to get the money to pay for the things before congress now? They will add to the deficit and our grandkids will be paying more than we ever thought of paying. They are the ones we should think of.

By the way why doesn't the government just give the CITIZENS who don't have insurance because they can't afford it a stipend to pay ins companies.

Because it makes too much sense and is cheaper.

Glenn Beck has told the government leaders he would have them on his program if they just called him. None have. He has called their offices as well.

Have you seen the shows where he connects the leaders wityh the czars and with others.

It is scary to see children sing songs about Obama.

Jim-830962

"By the way why doesn't the government just give the CITIZENS who don't have insurance because they can't afford it a stipend to pay ins companies."

It also doesn't give them the opportunity to seize power over us in violation of the tenth ammendment in the bill of rights. ( A violation of the oath of office, "to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies...")

Glenn has read it and has recommended we all read it. You'll find a lot of what's in it to be very much like what the current administration is doing. You should also read The 5,000 Year Leap. In that book you will notice how many things that our current administration is doing that the Founding Fathers warned against.

You should also read Mao's Little Red Book.

You shouldn't read only what you agree with... you can learn a lot from those who have gotten it very wrong.

Oh, and if you so hate Glenn, why don't you read his book Arguing With Idiots. I'm sure you'll find many new reasons to hate Glenn in there, or maybe you'll realize that the things you are so sure of aren't really true.

Glenn's read it and if you read it too, you might see how similar tactics are being used by this Administration to "nudge" us towards desired results - like spreading the wealth - like net neutrality - like controlling the salaries of ALL banks not simply the ones that took TARP.

Don't forget the policy of blaming everything on a single group of people.

O's policy of blaming everything on a single group? Bullsnarky. Blame it on a single person -- W.

Tstar again ....hmmm, that still sounds like "Czar". Is this a posting from the White House?

Oye. Where to start. If playing back the words of Barack Obama and his cronies via video and audio Glenn and his research team dug up is not news, then I guess history will show what idiots we have become where we stop looking at the past statements of elected officials and ignore their clearly defined intentions.

Glenn doesn't make statements about this administration without parading video or audio of someone in this administration supporting his statements. If you watched the show, you would know this. It is obvious, you don't watch his show.

It's a shame you have eyes but cannot see.

I must say that the responses such as yours could only be posted if: 1) you are a somewhat intelligent person who likes to generate responses to absolute nonesense or, 2) you are from Obama's inner circle. Either way, I don't believe your should be given the credibility to deserve a response from those concerned about the condition our government is in.

I believe that most US Citizens are morally healthy, hard working people who find that history has taught us the lessons we're already taking a test over. Too much government is not healthy. Even with an open book test, government has overlooked that historical fact. Glenn is one of the few brave enough to stand up and say so.

Has anyone considered the connection between all of the LGBT bills being passed and the government run healthcare? What other group (and I'm only guessing on this) would generate astronomical health care costs associated with their choice of lifestyle. A majority of the President's attention recently has been given to the LGBT demand for the government to force tax payers to support that lifestyle. Hate crimes bill-bet that wasn't passed so you can't make inappropriate statements to an overweight person!

Let's wake up folks. There are a lot of things happening that are uncomfortable to discuss. I smoke tobacco-but I'm not pushing to have things changed to make my bad choices acceptable by others. We've recognized the health issues involved and have acted to protect others from it. We've stopped advertising it, we protect our children from it and certainly don't have a smoker standing in front of our schools telling the children its okay! Yet, we'll allow the LGBT community to govern and rule in every facet of our lives. Oh, by the way-I'm not homophobic. But certain things should not be mandated as acceptable when we know the horrific results that carries for our children. Junior High kids are now problaiming they're gay. Well, first we told them its okay to have sex (protected) now we're telling them there are more choices they might enjoy.

Anybody ever looked at the fall of the Roman Empire?

That that 78% of the responders would use Glen Beck as a reference on what to read is a sad commentary on the intelligence level of this country.

Oh really? please feel free to explain why Oprah's recommendations are so much better. I have read several books recommended by both. Oprah's are generally books designed to tug at the heart strings. Glens are designed to make you aware of the world around you. Even if some of them are works of fiction, they often use real world events to tell their story. Sorry, IMHO these are just better books. By the way, the 5000 year leap is an amazing book.

It is exactly this kind of off-base, senseless, and baseless commentary that is fracturing this country and the people in it. Glenn Beck is no more a Nazi than you are a clear headed rational thinker. Comments like yours have no basis in truth. But why try to speak the truth when you can just as easily play to liberal stereotypes about anyone who doesn't follow in the same footsteps as you and your ilk.

Come to think of it - wasn't that how Nazism got started in Germany and how it continued to flourish? Group think?

Ah, yes.. Dostoevsky. Love the classics!

Amen.

We need more people in news media to start asking the hard questions that Beck does. All we get from the MSM is the days talking points from the White House.

Brian.I'm sorry to say but ACORN has been running this country for years.Along with SEIU,APOLLO and TIDES.These are "the powers that be".Pandora's box was opened a long time ago.This administration is just moving at warp speed,that is why their agenda has become so transparent.They have been in place for many years.This has been a well thought out plan.The Communist Movement has not given up.But I have great hope.Awareness is spreading like a wild fire.The Truth will be thy shield.

donnat is absolutely correct. The fact we've taken so long to act upon our governments "pay to play" antics is really sad. Thanks to folks like Glenn, and the foolishness of the warp speed agenda of our current establishment, we're wide awake now. I'm personally ashamed it took so long. This country needs to return to its founders wisdom. Until we pick up the Armor of Truth, we're going to find ourselves in deeper and deeper muck.

Have you read The 5,000 Year Leap? It happens to be one of Glenn's favorites. I then challenge you to read Glenn Beck's Common Sense and decide whether Glenn Beck is light on substance.

What diversity does Oprah have? Is it just that she's not a white male? Lumping all white males together, assuming we have no diversity is just as bad as racism. Glenn has done more for this country in the last year than Oprah has done her whole life. Oprah is an entertainer. Glenn is trying to keep our elected officials honest.

Would you know about the millions of taxpayer dollars with which ACORN lined their board members' pockets if not for Glenn Beck?

Watch the show and then make a decision. I'm sure all you know about Glenn Beck you learned from Huffington Post and The Daily Show.

Amen! Narrow minded! Oprah started from scratch and has built a wonderful enlightening show that shows both sides - not just her opinion!

Wow - What has he found that he is ONLY SEARCHING to find? How often do you watch his show, I wonder? I bet you watch Oprah all the time though.

I used to watch Oprah until she promoted that book and was estatic about the Million Little Pieces author which turned out to be a total fraud.

A waste of your intellectual time? If you don't care to learn about what is happening to your country then I would consider you an intellectual lightweight!

A waste of your time? So you would rather be watching Oprah while Tom Cruise jumps on a couch or she praises her newest 'new age' religion than find out how this administration is purposefully destroying this country? Your time sure isn't worth very much, is it......

I can't stand watching Oprah because she is a step above glamor magazines (which I can't stand). She promotes sweet happy fiction books, has beauty and health tips, and interviews supposed famous people. Woohoo, I could care less about 99% of that and what I could care about (oh say health tips) I can get from a better source, though I respect her for creating an empire as she has. Beck on the other hand is providing me with what is going on with our country. Do I agree with everything he says, hell no, I think he takes it a bit too far sometimes, but he is entertaining and supports his ideas with actual evidence in the form of sound and video clips(novel I know, I mean we all know its crazy). The books he recommends are wither historically important or thrillers and (if I had the chance to read, the joys of Grad School)they are all something I think I would either enjoy reading or learn something from.

Lastly, to all of you who are lumping Beck and all his fans with Republicans here is a little fact I don't think you know . . .

GLENN BECK IS LIBERTARIAN

It just so happens that a lot of Conservatives agree with him, but Beck (as he has repeatedly stated) thinks both parties are screwed up. I agree with him the Democrats are causing problems becuase they are in power now, but that doesn't let Republicans off the hook either, there is a very good reason I am Independent.

I use to like Oprah until she decided to turn from a honest religion to a new age religion because some mininster said God was a jealous God. Sure he is a jealous God because he loves everyone and does not want anyone to perish in hell. I just pray no one loses their salvation because of her popularity and ability to persuade others.

As for Glenn, go man go. Keep informing us and get well soon.

and you know that how? Because he said so!!! Can't you Republicans think for yourself at all????????????????

Jan, I'm NOT a Republican. And yes, we can think for ourselves. And I LOVE Glenn Beck. Wished he's run for Prez. :0)

Deidre,

Don't worry about Jan, she's not very bright. She just called a Canadian a Republican. LOLOLOLOLOLOL...
