Glenn Beck says he regrets dividing people

NEW YORK — A reflective Glenn Beck said Thursday he regrets that some of his fiery opinions caused division in the country over the last several years.

He wasn't fully aware of the perilous times and people "at each other's throats," said the conservative radio host, who accepted a First Amendment award from Talkers magazine, the trade publication for his industry.

"For any role that I have played in dividing, I wish I can take them back," Beck said. "I don't wish I could take back the truth that was spoken but perhaps — not perhaps — many times I could have said it differently."

-snip-

To the Talkers convention, Beck brought along a series of props — a Nazi-era German school manual, a napkin said to contain blood stains from Hitler, a copy of the Koran — to buttress his point that Americans need to support the right of people to deliver opinions even if they disagree with them.

It's made him millions. He's a very wealthy man because of his insane divisive blatherings.

what did he discover he was dying and is trying to make amends?

Or is this one of his recovery steps?

After all the vast riches he has accumulated fear-mongering to his audience about "that guy" in the White House, there's no way he can say with a straight face that he feels bad about the divisiveness he may have caused.
