Video: Glenn Beck's transformation continues

[JohnEngland]

Couldn't find a YouTube version of it, but Beck and Napolitano were on Fox & Friends and it's clear the Judge has influenced Beck a lot over the past year.

So, like a few weeks ago when Beck was talking about the trouble of America's empire building and massively wasteful and counterproductive military adventures, he states that the recent NY bomber must be defended by the Constitution - a view I'm sure neocons won't be happy to hear.

The way they're sitting on the couch makes me think of Napolitano as the teacher and Beck as the pupil:

I'm like Beck more and more each day...

But, he still has a long way to go...

 

[Hamer]

Beware Beck, he is fighting to keep his ratings up that he has lost 2 months ago with his propaganda to the liberty movement. Use him to get our msg out but don't trust him at this point for 1 second.

 

[sluggo]

How many times does a snake have to bite you before you figure out he's a snake?

 

[paulitics]

well, just a few months ago Beck didn't understand the 4th amendment and was making fun of Jesse Ventura for talking about Habeus Corpus on the same show. I guess this is progress, until he contradicts himself again.

Last I check, Glenn Beck's vote counts as much as mine or yours: 1. So he's got a TV show and does whatever he can to keep ratings up, just like Limbaugh and Hannity. I never foooled myself that these guy only care about anything but ratings. I never bought that these guys actually share their personally held views. So who cares what Beck says about war?\

Pay me $30M per year and I'll say almost anything on TV and radio.

 

[Pennsylvania]

He was just on the air yesterday talking about how nobody in congress is telling you the truth. He hasn't changed and he never will change.

...Unless it's something good about Ron Paul. That's not allowed on TV or radio.

You are truly a man of integrity. $30M is alot of money.

 

[Imaginos]

Glenn Beck would say just whatever AIPAC ordered him to do.
His job is to distract millions of good people from the cause of liberty/freedom/constitution (what Ron Paul stands for) to the same old warmongering propaganda for Israel.
Listen to what he has to say about Israel.
I don't believe a single word from that snake's mouth.

Hypocrisy

Ron Paul supporter: "We need to awaken the sheeple from accepting all the mess our government has gotten us into. Socialism is here, folks! It's a shame how none of the mainstream media focuses on the real problems going on behind the scenes in our country today."

Glenn Beck: "Right now, our government has turned into a socialist regime, being run by progressives on puppet strings. There are sinister organizations backing our government, and I want to be the first news anchor to show you the truth about what's going on. It might scare the crap out of you!" [Proceeds to the chalkboards]

Ron Paul supporter: "Don't believe anything Beck says. He doesn't know what he's talking about, and we can't trust him. After all, he works on FOX News."

Talk about a self-defeating strategy. We want people to come to the truth, but only if they agree on 100% of the things we argue amongst ourselves right now, anyway.

No kidding.
It's a conspiracy if they don't promote our positions, and it's also a conspiracy if they do promote them.

If only it were so simple. What do you call a person who'll go right back to neoconning the moment a Republican retakes the white house? Beck is a fair-weather friend, and not much good of one, as while he may sound like us occasionally he seems pretty devoted to merely using our rhetoric to re-elect establishment Republicans. What good does spreading our words do when it's falsely attributed to people who won't uphold them?

 

[Jordan]

No kidding.
It's a conspiracy if they don't promote our positions, and it's also a conspiracy if they do promote them.

And even more conspiratorial if his message is 95% pro-liberty, 5% questionable.


Does RPF not realize there are literally millions of people in this country that agree with 95% of the libertarian platform? Is it not possible that Glenn is one of those millions?

 

[AuH20]

When they find Beck's decomposed body in some drainage ditch, I wonder what the consensus will be then?

 

[AuH2O]

Umm, slighting one congressman who deserves credit is FAR better than crediting a bunch of congressmen who deserve none.

 

[Pennsylvania]

I disagree. To me it's far more important to cast light on the one good thing in congress than give the rest of the critters any attention at all.

Besides, it doesn't take that much to throw in a simple "except Ron Paul". Beck never does this.

 

[Jeros]

How many times does a snake have to bite you before you figure out he's a snake?

Snakes don't bit do they?

People around here have a short term memory. Maybe a few question would clear things up a bit.

1. What is Becks history? What is the motivation for everything he has ever done?

2. How long has he been doing the same thing? That is, finding an audience and adjusting to it?

3. How many times over the past half decade has he been instrumental in demonizing honest liberty advocates and principles?

4. Why is it that after 80% of the country associates Beck's rhetoric with poison, he becomes this big proponent of liberty?

Beck is a crazy fucker. I trust am as much as I trust the meth addict begging for change on the side of the highway. He is going down in flames and taking the concepts of liberty with him.
