Glenn Beck (merged) - Broadcasting

Jack1 · 18-07-2009, 17:08

I was wandering does anyone on here watch his show or are a fan of his?

I certainly am.

realwales · 18-07-2009, 17:10

Just started to get into it- really enjoying it so far.

Nelad · 18-07-2009, 17:11

Never heard of him

Dead Parrot · 18-07-2009, 17:24

I'm with Charlie Brooker on this...

Anyone who is a fan of his deserves to be deported from this country as far as I'm concerned.... British or not!

Hideous man!

PlatinumSteve · 18-07-2009, 17:46

I loved Glenn Beck solely on the Radio. Now that's he on TV he's kinda going overboard, I haven't watched him on Fox News, but I still catch him on the Radio sometime.

Toxteth O'Grady · 18-07-2009, 17:56

He comes across as though he's having a breakdown.... Brooker's comparison to the 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more' is spot on.

Here's the latest clip of his odd behaviour going around:

... it would make a great ring tone!

Same here. Was thinking the same thing when I saw the thread title

welsh_Gaz · 18-07-2009, 18:28

I find watching him makes me feel uncomfortable. He seems, well, odd.

Vertigo93 · 18-07-2009, 18:33

Is this the Glenn Beck who nodded sagely in agreement when a contributor suggested the only hope for the US was a massive Al Quaeda attack on the States?

What a patriot.

No suprise the OP is a fan.

kimindex · 18-07-2009, 18:35

No, I think he's definitely way too right wing for my taste.

Your obviously on the left or far left of the political spectrum, in fact he talks about people like you, left wingers who refuse to accept alternative views.

So you believe that agreeing the US needs to be the victim of a huge terrorist attack is sense then?

How very odd. And stupid.

welsh_Gaz · 18-07-2009, 20:27

I've seen him a few times. He starts crying and being wierd, and it makes me think that he's like that strange bloke at the end of the road who strangles cats. He probably doesn't, but that's the eerie feeling I get off him.

God, it's like Neocon 101.

1 - the poster did not admit they were left wing. They said Beck was too right wing for them.

2 - No-one - that poster included - questioned freedom. That's just a clumsy strawman insertion to try and make people think this is a debate (worse, somehow a stifled debate) about 'free' values.

No-one's buying it, freeper.

Fair enough, its just passion though

Well at the moment the USA is going down the slippery road to the left like we did, admittedly that was extreme, but something needs to be done.

And that 'something' needs to be the violent death of thousands by Al Quaeda?

Let's remember who was on watch last time that happened eh?

Sicko.

Well if someone is far too right for someone, there either exagurating or they are left wing.

Well even though poorly written it was a question to everyone, especially those on the left, which he may well be.

So if I say the BNP are too right for me, that makes me left wing?

No, not strangling cats, but he seems paranoid, and would try to convince you that there is a massive conspiracy developing to stop you living the life you've been used to.

He's a massive embarrassment. Sobbing about no Bush, a pseudo bed-wetter, when there's nothing to cause him to have any fear in his massively comfortable life.

"Ah fear for ma country..."

Apparently because an incredibly intelligent man of mixed race, one without any blemishes and is very attractive, has been elected as President(partly justifying the "American Dream").

Yes I'm sooooo left wing I voted conservatives at the last local elections.... For my sins... Never again.

And you are right, I don't accept alternative views, especially when those alternatives are pure nazi shite!

Obviously he sees that as being a wake up call for America that in the end would galvanise all Americans into proper action.

All you are doing is spinning his words, whether you believe in them or not.

Are you not doing the same thing as you pointed out in number 1?
