Glenn Beck on Ron Paul

[pcosmar]

Yes, true. But Glenn Beck has been roundly mocked and criticized by the various media outlets as being "crazy."

Faux Snooze fires investigative reporters for telling the truth.
The ONLY reason he is there is because he presents their story their way.

If he did not he would be gone.

Here is a full documentary that the other clip was from.

It is worth the time ,. (1 hour)

I think you're really being unfair to Beck because he and Hannity are two completely different animals. Beck never supported McCain, in fact he was repulsed by him. And in this very clip, Beck openly admitted that our imperial foreign policy is a dead end! What more do you want of the man? Do you want him to solemnly swear an oath of servitude to Ron Paul? Whats the endgame? Lets face it. The Ron Paul message is horribly marketed & we need every ally we can get.
I think people need to calm down and accept Beck as an ally. That doesn't mean you follow everything he says. He's a media pundit, no more, no less. The people are slowly coming to the realization that globalist Bush and his GOP cronies didn't have their best interests in mind. This is an incredible sea change in mentality!

I know he supported Mitt huh? Listen he's playing you for a fool. Of course they are all coming around but not like you think they are.


And NO i think beck needs to accept us as a ally not the other way around. I'm not bowing down to these pundits.

And NO he don't have to swear an oath of servitude to Ron Paul but why bash the only man who is speaking the truth like that? Why constantly bash his supporters? Look how he mocked a genuine supporter of liberty in this clip. Why make excuses for it? If that was a neocon supporter of mccain or mitt he would treat him as a patriot not like some crazy person. IF anyone is crazy its fucking glenn schizo beck. He's not someone who is open to our ideas he's just taking them and rebranding them with a neocon label now that Obama won.


Besides do you really want these "crazy" neocon pundits being the face of your movement? Isnt that like Rush Limbaugh being the face of the republican party? I bet the people cant wait to hear the message of liberty come from hannity.

How can anyone trust someone like Beck who works for the corporate controlled media? Especially Faux News - the propaganda network for the Bush Regime? All you have to do is watch old clips of Beck on YouTube to hear what he said about Ron Paul and his supporters during Paul's Presidential run. He arrogantly mocked Ron Paul and basically called Paul supporters potential domestic terrorists.

It is so OBVIOUS that Beck has jumped on the Liberty bandwagon with his call for tea parties and his 9-12 principles - completely highjacking the grassroots ron paul revolution. I suppose it's good on one level in waking up the masses to finally take action on issues, but I don't believe in its sincerity.

I admit, during these difficult times some of the things Beck says sounds all well enough and good to the average American taxpayer - ON THE SURFACE. But what lies underneath it? There's is a definite agenda behind it. Maybe they underestimated the strength & growth of the Ron Paul Revolution. When they couldn't beat us with marginalizing Ron Paul & the movement, they decided to start their own faux Liberty movement. Get people to follow them with their "tea parties" and then have the ususal neo-cons show up to say how they are on our side. This is all just BS. Playing the Republicans against the Democrats now. (Or more importantly, Conservatives against Consitutionally minded Conservatives in a divide and conquer tactic within their own party) Maybe that's the true agenda. Worried that the Ron Paul revolution was getting closer to hijacking the GOP back to its traditional roots. Get people to be more "liberty minded" yet keep pushing the established interventionist foreign policy. Sounds like a classic bait and switch to me! Just a thought..

The past 8 years Faux News was the propaganda machine for the Bush administration and now MSNBC has taken over the reigns for Obama. All I'm saying is that Beck is part of the corporate media. Have your tea parties but be wary of him, phoney bandwagon jumping politicians, and other corporate media pundits who start their own personal protest movements.

Does anyone know if Glenn Beck screens his callers like Rush Limbaugh? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if Glenn's angry sidekick let that Ron Paul supporting lady through precisely because she sounded cooky during screening. I doubt that he would have let an articulate and sensible-sounding Ron Paul supporter on the air, just as Rush Limbaugh never lets any but the dumbest "liberals" through to prove his points.

As for "gradualism", can anyone give an example of where government has ever gradually shrunk? The only example of government shrinking *at all* that I can think of at the moment was not gradual at all, but revolutionary: it was Andrew Jackson's abolition of the central bank.

Maybe you should call and find out.

I think she did alright. I'm glad she decided to give him a ring.

 

[satchelmcqueen]

Hahaha. All the people who fell for Beck's act just got owned.

haha

 

[jcarcinogen]

Tammy Faye Baker.

He said it himself and O'Reily had him on last night as he was disagreeing and Bill O had to point out at the end that he was "acting professorial" and Beck laughed.

Bill said this because he is worried about his ratings, nothing else.

I'm sorry if I am overposting but this guy is a fake, trying to 'manage the upset'.

Beck is an actor.

How many libertarians agree on everything? He says he is one then the next day talks about islamofacism and the Shia's 13th Imam... well this is wrong. WHat is he? A neocon saying what the people awakening are wrong and they should not be libertarian (even though he's said that he is).

This guy is not what we need but we can influence his meetup groups. My local one seems to love Beck but I am working on them and they are realizing the reality so he does this.

He should fail, we will prevail.

You don't think Islamofascism is real? Look, the wackjob Arabs are Israel's problem but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Theres alot of dark, sinister places in the world where we should not be interfering.

Sounds like Israel's problem. When and why did this 'islamofacisim' start and why? Do they want to attack Japan?

Yes they screen, but just tell them what they want to hear (something about Pelosi etc.)... then when live say what you really want to say, but cleverly.

Josh knows what to do. I'll think about my call on monday tonight and hopefully make it effective for his listeners.

Their belligerent nature is rooted in the Qur'an. The worst thing that ever happened was UN General Assembly Resolution 181 which established the foundation for the future state of Israel. In retrospect it was very bad idea considering the concentration of Arabs there.

+1

Beck's pro-war advocacy and endless maligning of Paul and his supporters on the radio over the years deserves disdain, not acceptance.

 

[Christianalwaysg124RP]

All respect that i had for Glenn Beck was just thrown out the window...

Why? All he talked about was how we were going to implement libertarian policies and the rate at which we can implement them. You should have more respect for Glenn Beck because he is actually discussing, talking and debating about how and WHEN we can put libertarianism into pratice.

 

[pcosmar]

You don't think Islamofascism is real?

Islamofascism is a NeoCon created word. It really has little meaning outside propaganda usage.

Sort of like the Fabian Socialists pointing at a Marxist and saying "look there, a communist".

I agree. Islamofascism is neocon nomenclature used for political purposes, but it still doesn't dispel beheadings done in the name of Allah.

Glen Beck is a braggard and if he was truly espousing notions of liberty he would be making it his solemn duty as a media man to enhance the PRINCIPLES that underlie why RP wants to get rid of various institutions. His encapsulations are dishonest and minimize Ron Paul. Who the hell does Glen Beck think he is to pontificate on Ron Paul's way of doing things? And diminish him as though he, Glen Beck is the wise one around here. Ron Paul is 25 times the man GB is, intellectually, ethically, and aesthetically!! GB makes me shudder and his only redeeming feature is that he likes Daniel Hannan and has him on alot (Oh OK, some of the others too!)

 

[RevolutionSD]

I told you guys Beck is a statist and not to be trusted or admired.

 

[RevolutionSD]

God I can't stand Beck!!!
