Glenn Beck goes libertarian on Stossel

[compromise]

 

[Sola_Fide]

So awkward...

 

[Peace Piper]

What a sniveling, disgusting little punk. When you have to spend half the interview saying oopsie...

"not there yet"?-- When he fails at this false conversion he'll be back on the R bandwagon in time for 2016.

He knows his 15 minutes turned into 20 and he hears that tick tock

 

[itshappening]

LOL!! John caled him out right at the start.

I remember that when he was sayinn on FOX 700 billion aint enough in TARP. Now that was disgusting.

 

[VoteRandPaul2016]

I am so grateful that John Stossel is still on our side.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

It was a bit weak, to say the least, on the "who he supported for president". Seems that someone, a champion of liberty, was missing...hmmm

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

The Santorum stuff made Glenn fidgety. lol

...He knows his 15 minutes turned into 20 and he hears that tick tock

In a nutshell, THIS ^^^

LOL... "Ahhh....Hummina..Hummina..Hummina.."

Beck has years of consistent repentance before I believe a damn thing that comes out of his mouth.

The reason why we dont trust you, Beck, is because you cant walk the walk. Dont throw a fit when people make you reconcile before they believe you. You're not stupid, you know exactly what's going on.

When discussing the candidates who were running for president last year, I really wish Stossel would have pushed a little harder on why Beck didn't support Ron. That would have exposed Beck's ass for the poser he is.

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.

The guy has been consistent in his demonstration of duplicity towards liberty. He's also trying to establish a business venture... For those who have watched Beck help hijack the Tea Party movement, and subsequent attacks on key liberty candidates, its hard to take his apologies seriously.

It was funny when Jake did it, but many here are not as easily duped...

@1:00 - "I haven't really changed a lot of the things I have believed in, but..." (back peddling enters here.)

"And why Santorum?"

"Ummm welll... ummm...."

At least he is admitting his mistakes and acknowledging that he's "not there yet" on issues, implying he is open to hearing arguments. He also said he has a lot to learn. He is in uncharted Beck waters (to those who like to say he does this every time). Not like this he doesn't. I tend to believe him with regards to moving in our direction because I can relate to the path he's on. I think most people don't change all their views overnight. He's far from Ron Paul or Lew Rockwell but he's trending up in my view.

Credibility matters.

Just wait until 2015 and we'll see if Beck is still trending up for you.

 

[VoteRandPaul2016]

The way I see it is -- you don't come to have a $65,000,000 net worth to spew the truth.

 

[roho76]

How do you learn about libertarianism? Either you think you have the right to control other people or you don't. There is no "learning" in my opinion. He thinks the war on drugs is a personal issue but prostitution isn't. How can you acccept one and not the other when in the end they're the same thing?

Glenn Beck- "Why do people instead stand there and say, 'We don't want you!'"

Because you fucking idiot, you still can't bring yourself to say Ron Paul was the only libertarian choice out there for republicans in 2012. ("I didn't like like any of them. I ended up supporting Romney ) You trashed Debra Medina, you mocked Ron Paul. Idgaf what beliefs he claims to espouse, I don't like him. He should apologize to Debra Medina personally, apologize to Ron Paul publicly, and apologize for being a MSM shill. Instead he will continue his appeal to emotion that he was simply wrong and cannot understand why people don't accept him. (boo-fucking-hoo) You know full goddamn well why people don't accept you Glenn. Because you are a phony two-bit hack who only 'comes around' when it is convenient or profittable to do so.

And fuck the Blaze. I wish it was a-blaze. He's the 'new' libertarian my ass. He's the new Republican and as soon as 2014, (probably) if not 2016 rolls around, he will be singing a different tune while he's laughing to the bank.

And FWIW, Allende was democratically elected. I know, you and that fat, 'mbumbling' co-host can't take the time to research something before mocking and ridiculing it. Lowkey would destroy your pro-Israel views and your foreign policy 'expertise' in general. (unless you co-opt Ron Paul's as your own, again) You'd still need to read up on the various coups and assassinations committed around the world, though.

Saying you are a libertarian and then in the same breath saying that there was no one to support in 2012 is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard him say. And I've heard him say some dumb shit.

He seems genuine in his reformation, but the key will be around late 2014 when the next election cycle is in plain view. His endorsements must fit the talk.
