Glenn Beck Relaunching The Blaze As Global Libertarian News Network

[helmuth_hubener]

Ron just said he's going to start his own web show.

Can we make sure it is bigger?

There was an official announcement? Where? Was this today? I am excited about this!

More poisoning of the word "libertarian". Wonderful.

Truth be told, Beck is the one that turned me from being warmongering neocon to the freedom loving man I am today, and I'm still pissed at finding out he's just a hack like all the rest. What does this announcement mean? Nothing. Beck is just destroying what it means to be a libertarian, and, although I'm sure he agrees with us on some issues, he's far from being like Penn Jillette as he says here.

He's trying to co-opt Libertarians like he did the Tea Party!

It was at the end of his show with AJ. The tube is on the front page....

Yuk yuk yuk yuk. This is so funny. When will this fool go away? Beck, you're about as libertarian as Baghdad Bob.

speaking of funny, indecision forever has a write up of our opinion (via Daily Paul) of this: http://www.indecisionforever.com/blog/2013/01/09/ron-paul-fans-scorn-glenn-becks-libertarian-network

 

[COpatriot]

That's right libertarians. Your new self-proclaimed leader endorsed a guy (Santorum) who has vowed to fight against libertarian influence in the Republican Party and constantly bashed the one guy in the race who one would expect a libertarian to support.

 

[brushfire]

HAHA!

He's free to call himeself whatever he wants, but it doesnt make him a libertarian.

Beck: go away already, you statist schill. Should'nt you be examining Soros's feices or something?

haha!!

Ron Paul fans are the Underwriters Laboratories of libertarianism, except instead of engineering degrees they have volumes of Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises, and instead of checking for product defects they analyze political figures for ideological inconsistency.
In any case, they find Glenn Beck defective.

Ah, but that was so eight months ago! The Great Beck Co-opt Project 2.0 can't be troubled with coherency, when you can drop treacherous endorsements down the memory hole. Based on the last cycle, the new plan is to again court the liberty movement into following Beck for the next three years, foliowed by him steering the whole group towards the next neocon frontrunner in 2016.

It sounded to me from the context of the discussion that perhaps Paul's show is gonna be part of Glenn Becks dealio.

 

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

GFY, Beck.

Ouch. Think so?

Ron said he didn't know what Beck intended so, I dunno.

Ron is too damned modest.

Doesn't make sense. Oil and water. Bleach and ammonia. Glenn Beck and Ron Paul.

I'm going to be sick if this is true.

Go relisten to it, AJ is that one that implied it, suggesting that dr. paul not get into any relationships with beck or trust him.

I just re listened to the AJ interview and I don't think that is correct from the way Ron laughed when AJ brought this Beck project up and said 'I wonder what THAT"S ALL ABOUT!"

 

[SpreadOfLiberty]

The Blaze does have many libertarian articles.

The best label would be conservative-libertarian.

Yeah, but I think that was AJ being nervous not Ron's intentions speaking. Ron has gone on Beck's shows in the past and likely would again, if asked. And Beck DOES use that sometimes to stab people in the back. That's all I take from that. Ron didn't seem to react at all.

AJ could just be warning that if Ron is a competitor he will be beyond the firing line as a target.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

In other words, confused-libertarian. Or A-la-carte libertarian. Or state-worshiping war-worshiping Israel-worshiping libertarian.

That's a kind of libertarianism I'm not into.

That said, if it is really a network, Beck's show would be just one show in the lineup. If there are other shows on the network that really are libertarian -- a Ron Paul Show, Judge Napolitano Show, Tom Woods Show, and Brian Wilson Show -- then that's a good thing. They'll be able to reach people, just like Stossel (and formerly the Judge) reaches people on Fox, despite the utter evilness and statism of everyone else on that network.

But, I don't really think Beck will have real libertarians on his network, and speaking of Brian Wilson, he is spearheading a very exciting project that will. Could this be our Libertarian News Network at last?

No such thing. Liberty is a package deal.

Penn Jillette is probably further away from Glenn than Ron is and he still wants him for his network.
