Glenn Beck goes libertarian on Stossel

[WhistlinDave]

I am sorry, but I don't understand the hate towards Glenn in this thread. If someone admits he is wrong, and is willing to extend a hand, trust but verify. I think he changed a lot in the past one year, especially after Nov. 2012. I actually enjoy listening to Beck these days.

I have never liked Glenn Beck until this interview. Sure, he's not quite there yet. Hell, I'm sure there's at least one issue that I'm not quite there yet on either, and a multitude of things I've believed and/or said in the past that were totally wrong.

Personally I was surprised and impressed by his humility. Lots of people say stupid shit on TV to millions of people. Very few are a big enough person to later admit how wrong they were. Even more so when you're in the public eye. And I did get the sense he was totally sincere.

So... I think it's a good thing. He may only be "for the most part pretty libertarian" or whatever, but that's better than what he used to be and he doesn't seem inclined to go back in the other direction. There's only one direction for him to keep going.
