Now the Left is Just Making Stuff Up About Glenn Beck


The left is rather pathetic.

They accuse the right of lying about healthcare reform issues.

The media trots out polling showing people believe the “myths” relating to healthcare.

It’s all nonsense of course. Many of the myths, though not all, are actually true.

And then comes Glenn Beck.

The left is trying to off Beck’s career. They’ve started harassing any company that advertises during his time slot on Fox. And now they are downright giddy that Beck has been taken off the air this week.

Except he hasn’t been taken off the air.

Beck is on vacation. The vacation, according to multiple people directly affiliated with Beck’s program, has been scheduled.

In fact, they even produced an email from July listing this week as Beck’s vacation.

wouldn’t the first thing to go be the name? Its still called the “Glenn Beck” program.

They’d better not miss.

If they make a big, high profile effort to shut him up and *fail*, it will do more damage to them and draw an enormous amount of attention to the things Beck highlights.

Which would be very bad indeed for the lefties in this country.

Glenn Beck, really not such a bad guy

DontBanMeBro Thursday, August 20th at 7:51PM EST (link)

I’ve held my tongue on this controversy maybe too long. Glenn Beck said something stupid very early in the morning. I’m not especially coherent at that hour either, so I’m not inclined to judge. Retract it and move along should have been the course of action.

The left long ago extracted their payment for this slight. Any further is just piling on, and for what? I don’t watch his program regularly, but I would say he gives a fair interview. Glenn is not nearly as inclined to shouting matches as Hannity or O’Reilly.

I don’t expect FOX to drop him for this, but even if they did, Glenn can take comfort in the Don Imus story. He’ll weather this one way or another.

He didn't even say what they said he did...at least not in the way they say he did...

He gave about 6 examples about Obama and his obsession with race including his 20 years in a white hating…black separatist, Luis Farrakhan loving preacher, and pointed out how stupid it is to be surprised at him stepping in it by calling Cgt. Crawley stupid for the way he allegedly treated a race bating college professor and pointed out Obama is obsessed by race….He simply said if anyone behaved like a racist in that instance it was Obama….

Given the facts laid out in this case…I’d say he was dead right and simply telling the truth the way he sees it…and the other side of this are simpoly lying and trying to silence an affective voice who poses a serious threat to the meme being advanced by the Dems that Obama is some kind of pure as the wind driven, “above the racial issue” President!

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in WashingtonFred Thompson
 

Really, now?

Just exactly what did he say that was “stupid?” Care to provide an exact quote and a justification of why you believe it was stupid?

Oh, and before you do that, read Ace’s response above. He’s right.

You’re not.

You call the president a racist, if you say you think he has a deep-seated hatred of white people (recognizing, of course, that his mom was white), you better be able to back that up with photos, audio tapes, fingerprints, a shallow grave, etc. It’s a serious charge. As far as I’m concerned Glenn Beck did not support his case. I don’t think he was right to say it. I don’t think he gave that comment nearly enough thought. And he’s paid the price.

Remember “George Bush doesn’t care about black people?” Remember how that was shouted down by the right? This racist charge has been levied before. There was evidence, just as flimsy, back then too.

As commentators go, I like Glenn. As I said, I think he gives a fair interview. And I think he’ll persevere in one way or another.

He sat in the church pew of his mentor the Rev Wright and...

listened to his RAILING against Whitey and we are to believe he did that for 20 years and didn’t believe what he was hearing? it would appear you are the idiot who will fall for anything and we use the power of reasoning. Glenn Beck was correc the man is a RACIST!

 

Just to bring a different perspective to the discussion,

Flagstaff (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 12:02AM EST (link)

I’d like to point out that (if we’re talking about the same show) Glenn built a logical argument based on Obama’s past statements of his opinion about various issues, including reparations and Reverend Wright. His thesis was that if one took all those issues and statements of personal opinion into account, a logical conclusion would be that Obama harbors a strong racial animus toward white people in general.

Obama’s quick conclusion that the police in Cambridge had acted “stupidly” in spite of the fact that he really didn’t know the facts of the case feed perfectly into that thesis.

The difference between what Beck has said about Obama and what others have said about Bush, particularly after Hurricane Katrina, is that Beck can provide video, sound, and written evidence to back up his conclusion, whereas the BDS folks had only their own invariably inaccurate view of what happened before and after Katrina, and an unrealistic vision of what should have happened. They conveniently blamed everything bad that hapened on Bush, and seldom saw anything good to grant credit for.

I don’t see that those accusations were “shouted down by the right,” but they were refuted by taking a realistic look at what really happened. The facts never convinced the lefties, however.

Exactly.

You and Ace have provided precisely the explanation that’s necessary. “DontBanMeBro” is simply coming closer to the destiny that his user name alludes to by ratcheting up the moby activity.

The Glenn Beck Show today, 8/21/09 was outstanding

(I think). I have to watch it again, more closely, not while typing. But if it’s what I thought I saw, it should go into the Libertarian wing of Rush’s broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Rebroadcast tonight at 2 am, EDT, 11 pm PDT.

Is there someone out there looking into this, what appears to be, a very left leaning organization? Off the top of my head I think I’m seeing another organization financed/organized by George Soros. Where do they get their money? Are they attempting to over-throw the U.S.A. as we know it? Are they affililiated with Acorn, S.E.I.U., Black Panthers, or another insidius socialist organization (Communist) that has warned that the U.S.A. can be beaten from the inside of our borders?
I am now of the oppinion that each individual that feels the U.S.A. is under attack must stand up and pray for GOD’S blessing, and be ready to defend HIS way of life.
Maybe we should now start thinking that our Federal Governmemt is broken and those we had elected to represent us are not listening to our concerns.
Beck has removed the veil that has hidden so much of the greed and criminal efforts by those who now have become so very close to the offices of the PRESIDENT and CONGRESS. For this he should be applauded.

The more they attack Beck, the higher his ratings go. His last show, before going on vacation, scored higher in the coveted 25-54 demographic than The Spin Zone with Ingraham subbing for O’Reilly.

 

The vacation is just a front.

He’s actually working on a cancer cure and directing this year’s best picture this week. He zeroed in on these two projects after successfully doing every other job this year. The man is an alchemy machine.

hummm...Glenn Beck...

martellus (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 12:33AM EST (link)

Glenn Beck if has not done so already will come to find out that it takes more then just anger. His consistent trashing of the Republican Party and uttering statements like, “I don’t know which party I hate the worse” will soon leave him without allies to support him.

There is no one standing up for Beck. He alienated too many people. In the end he will lose. In his next reincarnation he might learn to pick friends and allies before the picks enemies.

The Hammer

He's consistant

Karina (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 5:38AM EST (link)

which is more than I can say for Republicans. A lot of people were very angry and frustrated with all that went on in the Bush years. This disillusionment of our gov’t didn’t just happen on election night. We have been very upset for a long time. It’s not all about Obama and the Dems, it’s both parties. They have both screwed up our system and moved us away from a Constitutional republic to semi-socialism. There are a lot of people standing up for Beck. It’s the 9/12 Project, it’s the Tea Partiers, it’s We Surround Them.

As for those Republicans you seem to think he needs, the social elites and inside beltway buddies, one phrase comes to mind: With friends like these, who needs enemies?

 

Glenn Beck is right about Republicans

diakrioi (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 9:01AM EST (link)

This is the problem I have with Shaun Hannity – he is a Republican apologist first and a conservative second.

You may see it as a problem for Glenn Beck but this is the very thing that I like about him. You see it as harsh criticism that will leave him without buddies among Republicans. I see it as candor or even “tough love”.

In the end, Glenn will have ticked off the beltway class Republicans but real conservatives will be on his side.

 

Legless Beck listeners

jbpir8 Friday, August 21st at 10:46AM EST (link)

No one standing up for Beck ,huh ? The republicans Beck bemoans probably would ,except they are hiding under their desks , afraid to confront the Dems about anything .Those Republicans had the chance to change America and acted just like any politician ever has . All they did was spend money and go for the old Democrat bi-partisan trick .Good riddance ! Maybe with Free Thinking Americans making their presence known we will get the real work done

It's not time yet.

He tells the truth, everything he says on that show, disturbing or not, can be researched. He says things to upset the left.. and there true.. FOX did a promo on his show for next week. He is exposing all of the czars….. should be interesting.

If he doesn't matter

As with Sarah Palin’s verbal liberal attacks, they’ve move on to other people, Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Glenn Beck are on their radar. They continue to claim they are stupid and ignorant. And, what they say doesn’t really matter. I say to them, if they don’t matter, then why the continuous attacks?

I think and believe that the left is scared; Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Glenn Beck are telling the truth about what is going on in our Government and they cannot allow that to happen, so they need to degrade them and mock them as loony. The information that Glenn Beck has done on ACORN alone and the layers of corruption within that organization is massive. The latest investigation into the backgrounds of the Obama Czars has showcased their communist ties and beliefs. Americans should be worried not only about Obama but his final agenda, what is his end game? His healthcare plan is just another level at instigating massive government controls over the lives of all Americans.

Read the House Bill online at the library of congress website, Obama’s insistence that there is nothing in them that relates to any “death PANAL” is his LIE, read page 425, lines 4-12 (that states the Government mandates Advanced “death” care planning consultants for seniors), lines 17-19 (Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable power of attorney that IS MANDATED. I read that passage that it will be the government will be the power of attorney) and 22-25 (Government provides approved list of life resources, guiding you in death).

 

The Left will use any means to silence critics

Lloyd Davis (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 10:01PM EST (link)

Their favorite tactic is to throw as many charges out as they can, hoping that whoever is the target will give up and disappear. They tried it with Sarah Palin… she just refuses to go away. Glenn Beck has consistently pounded away at those who have betrayed the founders vision for America, REGARDLESS OF PARTY. We don’t need someone who marches in lock-step with members of their own party. THAT”S WHAT THE MSM DOES FOR THE LEFT.
Whether or not you agree with everything that Beck says or does, he has the right to express his opinion. The Left’s actions in going after his sponsers is nothing less that a different type of censorship. Yes, its legal to apply pressure in this way but that doesn’t mean that we should let them win.
Glenn Beck is an effective organizer for those that want to fight against what is seen as the wrong direction for this country. Stand behind his right to give his opinion… he would back you.
