GLENN BECK AND THE RADICAL RIGHT
For someone that "prefer[s] ideas to percolate a while, age a bit like a fine wine" may I suggest actually putting in some effort, ingredients? I am amused by critics of Glenn Beck, who has been growing in popularity for 8 years, that are just now trying to "warn" the country about him.
It is beyond laughable due to the shallow research and lack of any personal exposure to the Glenn Beck program that is obvious in the writing.
Feel free to keep reading Media Matter or whatever else came up in Google and the rest of us will go ahead and actually listen/watch Glenn for ourselves. I would suggest trying it sometime, for a great length of time. You would sound just a little less ignorant.
Want an example: "The fact that they are popular mystifies me. Our heroes 20 years ago were Reagan, Buckley, Fitzpatrick, Kirk, Goldwater, Anderson, and others who didn’t see conservatism as a meal ticket but as something to think about, to write about and contemplate man’s place in the world and his relationship to government and God."
Meal ticket? 20 year old heroes? Glenn Beck was saying the same things is saying now years ago, back when Bush was in office, and his ratings were going DOWN. He was warning about the stock market hitting 7K when it was 14K - people called him crazy. He was talking about how BOTH parties are going against the Founding Fathers goals and the Constitution they enacted - back when it was an R in the Oval office. Glenn Beck is sincere in what he says and has a better track record of stating where we will be than anyone else. When the first bailout was being talked about, under Bush, Glenn gamed out what would happen on his show and stated that the bailout would end up being over 4 Trillion. He was right about that as well.
Glenn's heroes are just a little older and little more impressive than the ones from 20 years ago. 213 years earlier in fact.
How do I know that [the autor of] this site ha[s] the [listening] comprehension skills of a three toed sloth?
Just about every day, and as a main theme of his radio and TV shows, Glenn Beck "write[s] about and contemplate man’s place in the world and his relationship to government and God."
Best of luck with your site. Honestly wish you the best success possible. Just as I did with Charles Johnson @ LGF - who is another ignorant Beck detractor. You are wrong about Beck, and when that becomes obvious the rest of us will not hold it against you guys.
