please tell me the crap Glenn Beck has spewed.
just off the top of your head, a brief post on the crap beck has spewed to audience last couple of years. he is so irrelevant to me, i hear it and let it go. i am not remembering much of the crap.

my teenage son has a friend that says beck is right on, his father says so. my son doesn't know the hate and ugly so cant argue with him (respectfully, the kid is a good guy) but son says if he is informed, the kid will listen.

a fun thing, not a big deal.

4. you
are so cute.... lol. thanks.

and i liked your thread on introduction. was gonna say... i use to be obsessive and anal about gramatically correct and ego took it to worth of person. years ago i had some significant revelations that allowed me to let go of ego. in the process my words became more song (feel) than analytical (words). lol. some people have a tough time with my posts. i see it as some get it, some dont. and that is fine for those that dont. those that do.... well yea, that is who i was talking to.

i enjoyed your introduction

9. Thank you
I was called away shortly after and only got to read the replies later after it was long gone. Changed them ole dry eyes of mine a tad too.
I love that "in the process my words became more song (feel) than analytical (words)," I see a lot of wisdom in that. :-)

You meet the nicest people on DU :hi:

2. I found a site with a Top Ten Glenn Beck Quotes.
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/stupidquotes/a/glenn-beck-quotes.htm

1. "This president I think has exposed himself over and over again as a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture....I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist." -on President Obama, sparking an advertiser exodus from his FOX News show

2. "I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. ... No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out. Is this wrong?" -musing about what he would do for $50 million

3. "When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, 'Oh shut up' I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining." –"The Glenn Beck Program," Sept. 9, 2005 (Source)

4. "The only we're seeing on television are the scumbags." –"The Glenn Beck Program," Sept. 9, 2005 (Source)

5. "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today." –on why people who lost their homes in forest fires in California had it coming, "The Glenn Beck Program," Oct. 22, 2007 (Source)

6. "I have been nervous about this interview with you because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies. ... And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way." –interviewing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim U.S. congressman, Glen Beck's show on CNN's Headline News, Nov. 14, 2006 (Source)

7. "Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however. The goal is different. The goal is globalization...And you must silence all dissenting voices. That's what Hitler did. That's what Al Gore, the U.N., and everybody on the global warming bandwagon ." –"The Glenn Beck Program," May 1, 2007 (Source)

8. "So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research. ... Eugenics. In case you don't know what Eugenics led us to: the Final Solution. A master race! A perfect person. ... The stuff that we are facing is absolutely frightening." –"The Glenn Beck Program," March 9, 2009 (Source)

9. "You have the artwork of Mussolini there, here in New York at Rockefeller Plaza." –analyzing the artwork decorating Rockefeller Plaza, which he said contained a hammer and sickle, Glenn Beck show on FOX News Channel, Sept. 2, 2009 (Source)

10. "O-L-I-G-A-R-H-Y." –misspelling "oligarchy" on his chalk board while claiming he had deciphered a secret code that he said was proof President Obama was trying to create an "Oligarhy," Aug. 27, 2009, Glenn Beck show on FOX News Channel (Source)

I'm sure there are a million others out there.

3. I have been listening to Glenn Beck's radio show for the past week or so
he has been talking a lot lately about the New World Order, I wasn't aware that he talked about the NWO conspiracy the way he did. He is convinced of it, or at least he wants his listeners to be convinced of it.

He also went on a tangent a couple of days ago comparing the progressive movement with Nazism.

7. He was comparing the tactics used by the Nazi
to the tactics used by the progressive movement, he also threw in that George Soros was a Nazi sympathizer to connect the two. If you have never listened to his radio show and you have the stomach for it, I recommend it. I can understand in a way how someone who has a hard time thinking for themselves can get wrapped up in his insanity, most of his show is based on fear and preying on peoples fears.

8. Interesting... FYI..
I couldn't sleep a few weeks ago, and listened to a YouTube video.. mainly to hear the Irish accent again.. :)

David Icke was being 'interviewed' ... And Icke went into a memorable rant about "what will you tell your children and your grandchildren if you do nothing.." about what, I don't know because I was half asleep.

Surprised me next day to read that Glen Beck apparently mimicked the 'what will you tell your children' etc phraseology..

So, at the risk of sounding like an idiot for spending one moment listening to Icke..

The Beckster could be sending dog whistles to the numbers of people who listen to the 2012 demise stuff etc...
