You know who else Glenn Beck REALLY likes?
No. Obviously there should be more threads.
He really liked Ron Paul in 2008-2009 when Beck was trying to get a mantle as tea party/libertarian leader.
I wouldn't stake anything on GB.
Glenn Beck said from the beginning that he didn't support some of the stances of Ron Paul.
Glenn Beck really didn't like how Ron Paul supporters were glorifying the Terrorist Guy Fawkes (V for Vendetta Money Bomb). He also didn't like how Ron Paul supporters were sending him terrorist threats through email when he pointed out that the real Guy Fawkes was a terrorist.

Maybe Glen Beck is an over-sensitive pussy. It was obviously about the movie.Glenn Beck said from the beginning that he didn't support some of the stances of Ron Paul.

Of course Glenn was offended by the Guy Fawkes rhetorical device; Glenn is offended by ANYTHING which questions the legitimacy of the state.
You support Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up the Parliament? Seriously, dude?
- Gunpowder Plot
- Guy Fawkes
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in earlier centuries often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot or the Jesuit Treason, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby.
The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of England's Parliament on 5 November 1605, as the prelude to a popular revolt in the Midlands during which James's nine-year-old daughter, Princess Elizabeth, was to be installed as the Catholic head of state. Catesby may have embarked on the scheme after hopes of securing greater religious tolerance under King James had faded, leaving many English Catholics disappointed. His fellow plotters were John Wright, Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, Thomas Bates, Robert Wintour, Christopher Wright, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham. Fawkes, who had 10 years of military experience fighting in the Spanish Netherlands in suppression of the Dutch Revolt, was given charge of the explosives.
The plot was revealed to the authorities in an anonymous letter sent to William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, on 26 October 1605. During a search of the House of Lords at about midnight on 4 November 1605, Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder—enough to reduce the House of Lords to rubble—and arrested. Most of the conspirators fled from London as they learnt of the plot's discovery, trying to enlist support along the way. Several made a stand against the pursuing Sheriff of Worcester and his men at Holbeche House; in the ensuing battle Catesby was one of those shot and killed. At their trial on 27 January 1606, eight of the survivors, including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
Details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Father Henry Garnet. Although Garnet was convicted and sentenced to death, doubt has been cast on how much he really knew of the plot. As its existence was revealed to him through confession, Garnet was prevented from informing the authorities by the absolute confidentiality of the confessional. Although anti-Catholic legislation was introduced soon after the plot's discovery, many important and loyal Catholics retained high office during King James I's reign. The thwarting of the Gunpowder Plot was commemorated for many years afterwards by special sermons and other public events such as the ringing of church bells, which have evolved into the Bonfire Night of today.
Guy Fawkes of Ron's money bomb referred to the V is for Vendetta movie, hence the masks etc. IN THE MOVIE the events were on the anniversary of the other Guy Fawkes but the V for Vendetta was against tyranny and police state, not at all premised on the original guy. ZERO of the imagery for the money bomb used old pictures of parliament blowing up as the old tea party pictures were used in the tea party one. It was all the movie.
Glenn Beck trying to pretend otherwise, like trying to pretend Medina was remotely a 9/11 truther to kill her surge, is just more evidence of what a snail belly slime he is.
For the record, I don't trust Beck but I'll take the attaboys and the popularizing of Rand when available. If the guy is truly having a paradigm shift, I'll be pleasantly surprised. It will be interesting to see him wiggle his way away from Rand when all is said and done.
Gee Frank, you seem awfully sympathetic to Glenn Beck. I guess that means you support kiling Iranian women and children, right?
Well, the media jumped on the Terrorist Guy Fawkes theme. The Ron Paul movement opened that door and the media had a field day with it.
Why, because he is stating facts; facts that you don't appear to like?
I disagree with Glenn Beck's former stance on Foreign Policy and National Defense. I don't support "killing Iranian women and children."Gee Frank, you seem awfully sympathetic to Glenn Beck. I guess that means you support kiling Iranian women and children, right?
You're making yourself look foolish and a bit childish.Uh boy. What the hell are you talking about, LE? Frank brought a strawman against me, so I turned it on him.
He didn't "bring" any "facts" at all.
