he hates 10 out of 3000 victim families, not too bad, cant blame him really.

So do I (dislike is a better word, I really don't hate). Most of the dead were fairly well off, they got enough money to pay for the ones who weren't.

As far as Beck goes, I kind of agree with the sentiment, and furthermore he has changed his mind on a lot of issues since 2005.

He is usually very irritating to watch -
to hear him talk about this here with a "just shut up" . . .
I'd recommend he take his own advice.

It is extremely uncomfortable to watch because of his mannerism and the stupid crap he says. The most uncomfortable I felt watching was when he had his RP interview and he said "I just want to lean over and kiss you," or something to that effect.

I live not too far from NYC and the families of the victims I know are now millionaires.

Disappointed with some of the comments so far. You lose a family member then never find the truth and you will also be outraged. I guarantee it.

1) He has changed his views a lot since 2005.

2) Most of them go on and beg for money.

He probably hates the ones who don't believe the government's story, and who are vocal about it.

Beck has done some good work, though he can be a douche, as we know.

I agree that some of the 9/11 victims' families has milked their tragedy to the max, though glenn could have been a little more tactful. Yes, it was terrible that these people were killed, but so is it terrible when a convenience store worker is murdered for nothing, yet nobody profits from it.

Hate is a pretty strong word to use. I suspect he chose it carefully. It's OK to hate 10 family's who lost a loved one to a terrorist.

Bin Laden must be proud.

I'll change my mind about Bleckt when he apologizes for his lies about RP's candidacy and admits that he was acting on orders or was currying favor from his globalist masters. Until then, Bleckt can stick one thumb in his mouth and one in his butt, and then play switch'em.

View Poll Results: Do you still like this guy?
Yes 19 50.00%
No 19 50.00%

But I don't see what he did wrong. He was talking about a specific ten families who are ruining it for everyone else. I think he's saying the media or the government was focusing on a small percentage of the victims. And he's right.

I liked that Two Turntables and a Microphone song he did....

Wait. What?

Hahahaha. I like that song too. And now I'm listening to it.

I like Glenn Beck. He has MORE than redeemed himself for his remarks against Ron Paul and as i recall , it was more about the Ron Paul supporters. he has had Ron Paul on his show MANY times..he has also changed MANY of his views due to Ron Paul.

on the victims of 911..weren't there a hand ful of women who were politicizing the issue? It could be he didn't like them...remember...Glenn beck has had a lot of threatening phone calls..to kill his family from "truthers"..and there was a group of victims wives who were pressing for the truth issue.

As for hiis remarks on Katrina..I COMPLetely agree with him. tones

Did he actually say something about an investigation? All I heard was that he hated them for "complaining". In the context he used it, by mentioning New Orleans victims as another example, it sounds like he's mad at families asking for more benefits and government aid. If that's what he means then I completely agree.

Here's what I think about Beck. His real job is to fill the gray area between mainstream and alternative news. His overlords let him say things that wouldn't normally be acceptable in the mainstream. This allows him to "catch" people who ordinarily would leave the mainstream news altogether. He keeps them from waking any further. But, fortunately for us, he's a double edged sword. He exposes "radical" ideas to people who wouldn't normally be exposed to such "radical" ideas.

He isn't talking about 9/11 families. He was saying that he doesn't like the hurricane victim families because he feels they whine even though the country did everything to help them. Not saying I agree with it, just that you have to listen to the end and he is not talking about 9/11 families.

I used to listen to his show on my 3 hour drive to work and during that time he didn't say much that was too bad. I think his best trait is that his staff is very good at doing research so that he's not totally clueless like most of the MSM. He has had a pretty good grasp on this financial crisis for quite a while, not following the hype but getting down to the numbers of it.

He is a bit of a pessimist in most everything he talks about, he talks about going out and buying a buttload of food for your family, partly because food prices will be going up and partly as a "just in case" type of thing.

Though, just like any conservative, his small government and personal responsibility views have their exceptions.

All in all though his radio show gets a bit boring at times when he starts talking about his personal life and such, much like Laura Ingraham. Combine that with the 10 minutes of commercials every 5 minutes and it makes it difficult to listen to just to get that 2 minutes of relevant information that is actually interesting every hour.

It isn't so black and white. He is a propagandist for CNN and FOX, but he's also controlled opposition, which makes him somewhat useful to us. I like him, but he's a douche. There is a grey area with him.

I live not too far from NYC and the families of the victims I know are now millionaires.

People die all the times and their families don't get anything. It's understandable because at the time everyone wanted to do something and getting out the check book was the only thing people do to feel like they were helping somehow.

But these people don't deserve any more than someone who's family member was killed in a car accident or drive-by...

I was starting to like him, then i saw a clip of him saying how
the "don't tase me bro" guy deserved the tazing. I can't find
the youtube, but found this page with transcript:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200709200004

BECK: And a college student gets Tasered for being extremely annoying.

MEYER [video clip]: Don't Tase me, bro. Don't Tase me! I didn't do anything wrong! Ow!

BECK: I say hit him with another 50,000 volts.

BECK: Now, I'd like to say that my sense of humor has evolved past the point where I don't enjoy watching someone get Tasered. I'd like to say that, but I can't. To me, Taser videos are a little like potato chips. I just can't watch just one.

if someone can find the youtube link please post it up!

This guy (Glenn Beck) is just a douche.

No he is not. Have you seen the video? He is literally making fun
of the guy and talking down at him about getting his 15 minutes
of fame.

If you haven't seen the video you can't possibly judge this jerk's
demeanor. Look for the clip. I'm sure someone will post it up.
