Glenn Beck: I'm Done With Establishment Republicans, I Support Constitutonalists Like Rand

[Occam's Banana]

I doubt many here watch Glenn Beck enough to be there when he's made countless apologies, and I doubt those spewing all the hatred would be happy with his apologies when heard

Riddle me this: if Beck is so sorry & genuinely repentant, then why does he keep doing things he has to apologize for? Hmmmmm?

The man is either a fool - or he's playing his audience for fools. (Or both ...)

To hell with Glenn Beck, and to hell with his mealy-mouthed "apologies" - as he has repeatedly demonstrated, his "apologies" are not worth the spittle behind them.

I think the haters don't really want an apology as much as they want Glenn Beck (and all who think differently) to lie prostrate on the ground and get repeatedly sodomized while screaming how wrong it was to support anyone other than Ron Paul. And then they want the whole thing video taped and played back to them while they do it all over again.

The asinine little phantasm-cum-strawman you present here is pretty goddam hilarious - not to mention ironic - given that in actual fact we have an abundance of video- and audio-recorded proof of Glenn Beck's mockery of and contempt for the ideas & ideals championed by Ron Paul and the people who support him.

Some people are sick and prefer liberty-by-force; it helps them avoid having to earn respect the hard way: through the merit of their ideas and the confident, forgiving, and understanding nature of their humanity.

WOW - I am impressed! You offer up ludicrous accusations of "liberty-by-force" - and denunciations of other people as "sick" - based on nothing more than a luridly grotesque fantasy of your own concoction that you presumptuously and insultingly attribute to "the haters" who don't like Glenn Beck.

That you are able to indulge such twaddle & poppycock is truly an amazing feat.

Serously! I stand in awe at the deranged and twisted audacity of such acumen ...

Beck is right. Some "libertarians" are so radical, they're happy to let someone burn in a barn if he ever disagrees with them on even the most minor of points.

Bullshit. A thousand times bullshit.

No one gives a damn about whether Beck disagrees with us. Lots of people disagree with us - and we don't regard them the same way we regard Beck.

We despise Beck because he has repeatedly demonstrated himself to be nothing but a back-stabbing, self-serving and mercurially hypocritical Janus.

...I wish these people actually understood the message of Ron Paul.

It is precisely because they do in fact understand the message of Ron Paul that they regard Beck the way they do.

Or, rather, it is because they see the rock-solid consistency and integrity of Ron Paul - and they recognize that Glenn Beck does not possess the tiniest iota of either of those qualities.

Yes, exactly. Our folks, myself in particular, are not only willing but actually have a solid history of building coalitions with people who agree with us far less than Beck pretends to. Don't get me wrong, we DO have some problem with extreme purism amongst our movement, but rejection of Beck is NOT an example of that quite-real problem. Rejection of Beck has to do with the fact that he does this exact same thing after every single election since he's started, and then he morphs right back into neoconnery just in time to lead his sheep to the establishment waters. We know he does this, because he's been doing it without any change at all since 2007.

 

[matt0611]

Beck called Ron the newest member of WBC like less than 2 weeks ago, idiots.

Ignorant here. What's the WBC?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Westboro Baptist Church. The people who protest soldier funerals with "God Hates Fags" signs in pretty rainbow and tie-dye colors.

Precisely!

I bear no love at all for the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly - but unlike Glenn Beck, at least they never sidle up to me and pretend to be my best buds (while sharpening the knives they intend to plunge into my back).

 

[compromise]

It goes both ways. Rand pretends he is a Beck fan too. He promotes Glenn's book, "Broke" on his Senate site and praises Beck in "The Tea Party Goes to Washington" (although the book was ghostwritten by Hunter).

 

[Neil Desmond]

Spin doctors...

 

[S.Shorland]

Look at how he sabotaged Medina when she threatened property taxes and thus Agenda 21.How he sabotaged Ron.etc.

C'mon OB, I thought the drama was pretty amusing.

 

[No Free Beer]

Beck called Ron the newest member of WBC like less than 2 weeks ago, idiots.

And equated him to Code Pink on his radio show. No joke, 5 seconds later, got all serious (typical GB strategy) and said "you know what we are missing? civility in the country."

The guy is a joke.

Profiteer.

It's because Ron has some apprehension about bombing middle eastern countries. That is civility, to Glenn Beck.

I know I'm one who is considered to be too much of a purist for some around here, but on foreign policy, given the immediate life-and-death consequences, there can and should be no compromise. Believe it or not, I'm all for coalitions... just not with interventionists.

Could not agree more. Beck has proven he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

This is just his latest stunt to ingratiate himself with the small government supporters. We should never forget Beck was the msm point man to co-opt the Tea Party movement in which was turned into something else and Ron Paul disappeared from "Glenn Beck's Tea Party".

His revelations is just a continuation of the co-opting. I have no doubt he will stab us in the back when it counts.

 

[Occam's Banana]

C'mon OB, I thought the drama was pretty amusing.

Oh, definitely! Like I said, I was quite impressed. You don't often see such breathtaking flights of pervy fancy in such discussions as these.

Now, let's see ... maybe we can get Ned Beatty to play the starring role when we film our "Glenn Beck butt-rape" video ... I'll make some calls ...

 

[FrankRep]

I hope Beck doesn't jump off the Rand bandwagon if Rand votes to confirm Hagel.

Rand Paul's voting record will have a black mark if he confirms Hagel. Don't be stupid Rand, that vote will bite you.

 

[Article V]

Then again, some of us who have been eyeballs deep into this movement since early 2007 have seen Beck do this time and time and time again. It's the exact same pattern he has been using since the beginning. In 2009 I was the guy telling people that Beck looks like he's starting to get it. In 2011 I was the guy who said, maybe this time he's finally figuring it out. In 2013 I'm saying to hell with this piece of rancid feces.

I didn't crawl out from under a rock yesterday.

 

[Brett85]

I think Beck just likes some liberty candidates but not others. I don't see how that's inconsistent or an example of him being opportunistic.

I think Beck just likes some liberty candidates but not others. I don't see how that's inconsistent or an example of him being opportunistic.

It isn't a question of who he like and who he doesn't. It's about who he likes this year that he will not like during an election year. Happens every single cycle.

Are we up to speed now?

Glenn Beck seems to only attack people when they support 9/11 Truth, support Abortion, Attack/Criticize the Troops, and Support a Weak Foreign Policy/National Defense (his perspective).


Rand Paul doesn't have any views that Glenn Beck would disagree with.

 

[Brett85]

I don't think Glenn Beck ever said that he supported Ron Paul. He may have said that he agreed with him on certain issues, but he never came out and said that he supported Ron. He was never a Ron Paul supporter. He wasn't inconsistent about that.

 

[acptulsa]

The fact that he's done with establishment Republicans is an inconsistent position in and of itself. And I see no reason to believe it.

I didn't crawl out from under a rock yesterday.

It isn't when you crawled out from under the rock, but what (if anything) you've learned since that counts.
