Beck sounded unhinged and unnerved today over our E-mails

[sofia]

He spent most of the show talking about Medina and bashing her supporters. He even mentioned that he has been inundated.

Several callers challenged him and one man from Texas named "Angus" even mocked Beck....Beck then hung up and made fun of him for "being named after a piece of steak".....real mature Glenn....

He totally bullied and humiliated this one sweet old lady who tried to defend Medina....and she was clearly nervous and not very articulate. It was so uncalled for. This lady had even opened her remarks by saying how much she loved and appreciated Beck's show!

He just kept hammering her with questions....the more nervous she got, the more Beck yelled and mocked her....What a BULLY......I would love to kick his pudgy ass for the way he treated this caller.

He is no gentlemen and certainly no Christian.

Today's performance was worse than yesterday.

Keep writing him....

[Bruno]

I just caught a bit of it, but he was obviously upset. And you could tell that he was upset before he even had her on, due to all the emails he got. "Dont' bully me into having someone on my show" and so then he has her on and bullies her.

His hand is showing

[Liberty Star]

Emails can be deleted in a second, he is not the kind of person who has a conscience and would be "hurt" by people's outrage. What would hurt him is boycott.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Who all is going to CPAC? I say we have some sort of Anti-Beck event there. Boycott his speech. Have signs or something.

Like I said early this morning, entice Beck to grab the shovel or pitchfork if you prefer. He'll bury or stab himself. ;) Keep at it. Just be persistent and rational. Beck will eventually show his petulant, obnoxious self for his viewership to see. ;)

[Liberty Star]

I think we need to start compiling a list of his ad sponsors. Emails/letters to those businesses are more effective than anything else.

Everyone, including himself most likely, knows that Beck is a lying professional media pimp trained by dem media gurus. Best way to effect change is to effect his "profit" center or what is lately "loss" center.

[AuH20]

Look, I voiced my opinion on the subject numerous times. Confronting Beck in an amateurish way similar to what transpired with Hannity is going to make the entire movement a laughing stock and only increase the divide. An organized boycott with the freaking left would be equally disastrous as well.

With that said, people should confront him in a rational, calm manner and ask why he treated Medina unfairly? Bounce the Palin double-standard off him and run down some examples of government negligence and outright deceit. Engage him. Be fair but stern. All in all, I see a total boycott of Beck on par with the rethugs supporting Tim Graney in a primary against Doctor Paul. It doesn't make much sense in the big picture and secondly it's not like Beck came out of left field with his truther hate. It's well-documented.

[Peace&Freedom]

What exactly was wrong with throwing snowballs at Hannity? What, he can't handle a little bit of what kids do every time it snows? Snow is not perceived as harmful by most sane people I know. The glory of We Are Change et al is how effective they have been at non-violently confronting these puffed up political overlords, and knocking them from their pedestals. CFL in NYC even did a snow fight yesterday as a meetup event.

Really? It happened on the same day that Medina said she thinks 911 was an inside job.

It's called teaching them not to dish it out if they can't take it. And if it didn't have prison time tied to it if one of us unconnected peons does it, I'd be all about it.

Such a boycott will have little effect unless you are a group that has already demonstrated significant weight. A better approach is to find support somebody else to to a better job and take from his ratings. It's a longer project ... but more effective.

Yes, we can be friends. I'm just sick of my fellow born-again Christians believing that Beck is like us, because he is not. So I felt obligated to point that out real quick.

Yes, I can understand that sort of reaction. Then again, if you were pitching for Ron Paul in the 2008 primaries, you may have had a hard time persuading your friends not to vote for Huckabee because he was the most outwardly religious. Religion isn't everything. For what it's worth, here are some Latter-Day Saint scriptures Beck might have read prior to his premature and juvenile Medina-bashing antics yesterday:


Alma 26:12

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

Also, there is this from Ephesians 4:

21 If so be that ye have [accepted Christ, then]:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Thanks for being cool, Baptist.

Back to the original post, I also thought he sounded unhinged and unnerved yesterday after the interview.

It was shocking to hear someone who continually espouses "the Constitution" and "the truth" get so angry over a woman who he had just (IMO) set up.

I guess the result wasn't as good as what he expected.

[Valli6]

Seeing as he is a recovering alcoholic, most people that know this would find your suggestion to be in poor taste.
In poorer taste than "Glen Beck raped and killed a girl in 1990"?


But I'll assume you didn't know that.
Of course I knew that. There's no need to treat alcoholics like retarded children.

Stole a cell phone too geeze. That said, he was never convicted right? I'm not one to put down rape victims, but lately it seems like there are a lot of false accusations and reports in that realm.

[devil21]

Im sure Beck has received some VERY sharply worded emails since his smear job on Medina, probably even some reminding him that his tv/radio personality isn't immune to real world consequences. People are starting to get fed up with the media injecting their agenda into everything on behalf of the establishment.

Just saying Mormon or LDS is fine. We know we are Christians so we don't get confused and it doesn't offend the Christians who are convinced we aren't.

Actually, that is the first time I have seen the term "Mormon Christian" - it kind of implies there are some Mormon non-Christians out there. Anyway...

As a Mormon I sent Beck quite a long and detailed email about the many ways that he is failing and leading people astray. Lol. Doubt he'll even see it, won't get past the screeners.

Muslims do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God. Mormons do. To me, saying Mormon Christianis like saying Catholic Christian--linguistically redundant, (not that I am offended). However, I understand why some people feel uneasy when LDS people self-identify as simply, "Christian."

At any rate, assuming the 912 groups turn on Beck, do you think he will have Debra back on his show?

Muslims believe in Christ too. Going by this definition of "Christian," they should be called Christian too.

Christians believe that the only way to Heaven is faith in Christ. No works. No forgiveness by "fathers" or getting rid of sin by eating bread/wine or by getting baptized. No other "prophets" on equal footing with Jesus. For Christians, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Period.

[Baptist]

http://i.imgur.com/3qpo5.png

Maybe this is for another Glenn Beck? Doubt he's the only one with that name.

[revolutionisnow]

Its pretty easy to print out something like that and create a forgery. The whole Beck in 1990 is a pretty elaborate creation just based off a Gilbert Gottfried (sp?) comedy central roast of Bob Saget, mocking his "just asking questions" routine. There was South Park skit about Beck also.

[Bman]

No other "prophets" on equal footing with Jesus.

I'm confused by this, because if you are Christian Jesus was not a prophet, but yeah I think I understand the overall jist. You cannot be christian if any other word is on the same footing as the word given as per Jesus.

[ibaghdadi]

Emails can be deleted in a second, he is not the kind of person who has a conscience and would be "hurt" by people's outrage. What would hurt him is boycott.

Totally agreed. Follow the money. Money is what can really hurt him.

I don't think we should raise the Medina issue at all. I think his sponsors would far more be concerned about the way he treats his callers, even those who say they've been long-time followers of his show, if he even senses that they disagree with him.

Yup, Sofia, like that sweet old lady who called.

He mocks them, ridicules them, and bullies them, and this can't be good for ratings. He's essentially sending a message out there - disagree with me and I will mess you up. He's gotten arrogant and cocky and it's about time he gets sent down a few notches and appreciated the value of pure old customer service.

I actually think that Beck really wants to be known as libertarian voice. I think he does care about the free market. And I think that if he starts to lose the libertarian leaning audience...that he will care and be bothered. Thats what I see.

That is not me trying to excuse his actions, or argue for giving him a pass. By God, tell him how you feel. Stop watching. Tell him to fuck off. But if he changes his tune, be prepared to give him a second chance.

I once brought a friend over to libertarianism. He was almost a communist and devout socialist with nationalistic tendencies when I met him. It took me three years of discussions. I used the fact that he was gay, to push him towards socially liberal policies. I then pushed him towards states rights on those same polices. I pushed him towards libertarian socialism, and then I battled him for two years over unions.

You can't expect the world to change over night. And you can't expect people to change over night.

Why bother? The damage is done and an apology won't make a lick of difference to the voters that he may have influenced by painting Medina as anything but level-headed. Just see him for what he is, just another owned pundit, and move on. Don't people learn lessons from stuff like this?

[Baptist]

What is all the "second chance" talk? Why don't you guys add a few zeros to that number. How can you guys still consider giving this guy a 200th chance?

Seriously. Am I the ONLY person on these forums who does not own a TV? You people who watch his show think you have proper discernment, but you are brainwashed like all the "sheeple" you make fun of. If you get rid of your TV for 3 months, and then watch an episode of Glenn Beck, you will see how ridiculous he really is. From my vantage point, from the outside looking in, I can't even comprehend how somebody who frequents these forums could even contemplate the fact that Glenn Beck is real and cares.

GET RID OF YOUR TV. Please. If even for 3 months. Then go back to watching it, and I guarantee you will see all the propaganda in a whole new light. As long as you continue to watch TV, you will continue to be brainwashed. Not as much as all the sheeple we continually bash, but you still are. Please, if you don't have the strength to get rid of your propaganda box, at least stop watching Fox News for 3 months. I guarantee that if you do, you will NEVER be able to watch it again. You will then see how ridiculous and repulsive that channel is. I hate everything about Fox News.

[edit] Yes we all know that Napalitano is great. But I'm not about to wade through the sewer to find a gem that somebody flushed down the toilet. You can watch Napolitano online. You don't need the freaking matrix box.

I doubt Beck is reading a lot of emails. What's probably happening is his writers are giving him the jist that his job on Medina backfired and he's upset.

[John of Des Moines]

Give Beck a second chance??? Get with it dude. He has said at one time or another said Ron Paul supporters and 9-11 Truth people are terrorists and should be rounded up and put in camps. He's also has said that the 9-11 Truth people want to kill the President. He is a wholly owned corporate / government controlled propagandist stooge.

Seriously. Am I the ONLY person on these forums who does not own a TV? You people who watch his show think you have proper discernment, but you are brainwashed like all the "sheeple" you make fun of. If you get rid of your TV for 3 months, and then watch an episode of Glenn Beck, you will see how ridiculous he really is. From my vantage point, from the outside looking in, I can't even comprehend how somebody who frequents these forums could even contemplate the fact that Glenn Beck is real and cares.

GET RID OF YOUR TV. Please. If even for 3 months. Then go back to watching it, and I guarantee you will see all the propaganda in a whole new light. As long as you continue to watch TV, you will continue to be brainwashed. Not as much as all the sheeple we continually bash, but you still are. Please, if you don't have the strength to get rid of your propaganda box, at least stop watching Fox News for 3 months. I guarantee that if you do, you will NEVER be able to watch it again. You will then see how ridiculous and repulsive that channel is. I hate everything about Fox News.

[edit] Yes we all know that Napalitano is great. But I'm not about to wade through the sewer to find a gem that somebody flushed down the toilet. You can watch Napolitano online. You don't need the freaking matrix box.

Just a bit of fyi, the state of Alabama csb felt it was abusive to not allow children television as it was limiting their exposure to popular culture and stunting their later ability towards healthy peer interaction. How's that for amusing?

You must be thinking of somebody else. He is currently a Mormon and was raised Roman Catholic.

I knew I smelled the jesuits tangled up in all this...

I suggest we do something new. Many people tried all the angry letter writing campaigns and snowball throwing for RP. You know what RP ended up gathering 5% of the vote.
Why don't we try ignoring a man that is bat shit unstable and concentrate on good tv personallites? The only thing that will hurt Beck is to be ignored. As far as I know the neilsons don't ask viewers if they are hating the show that they are watching. All that matters is that YOU ARE watching. Cha Ching!

Even if all of us Ron Paul fans turned off Glenn Beck, his show would still reign supreme on cable news.

...But if he changes his tune, be prepared to give him a second chance.
Geez, just when I thought I might never have to see another "Beck's-seen-the-light-he's on-our-side..." thread!

Maybe not.

Becks ratings appear to have dropped at the moment. No friday ratings posted yet. I'm not sure what the numbers in parenthesis represent - anyone els more familiar with this sort of thing?

[itshappening]

Give Beck a second chance??? Get with it dude. He has said at one time or another said Ron Paul supporters and 9-11 Truth people are terrorists and should be rounded up and put in camps. He's also has said that the 9-11 Truth people want to kill the President. He is a wholly owned corporate / government controlled propagandist stooge.

Give Beck a second chance, oh that's rich, real rich.

I agree, Beck is finished and should be public enemy number 1 for this movement./ we must work hard to expose Beck as he is dangerous because he poses as an ally.

I encourage everyone to snowball and attack Beck with anti-war signs and signs pointing out that Beck supported the bailouts and is a neocon

I'm pretty sure the parenthesis numbers represents replay viewership.

Geez, just when I thought I might never have to see another "Beck's-seen-the-light-he's on-our-side..." thread!

Rand Paul wants to send terrorists back to the battle to kill our soldiers.

Oh wait, thats what happens when you take things out of context and IGNORE the rest of what I said in the same goddamn post.

I'm pretty sure the parenthesis numbers represents replay viewership.

The first parenthesis are for demo viewers. I think it is anyone under the age of 55. The advertisers are concerend most with this demographic, and it is worth the most $$ to them.

Beck almost always beats Hannity in the demo, but I'm going to wager that this will no longer be the case, since Beck's audience is strongly libertarian, and half of those people will cut him off.

[misterx]

Beck is the worst of all because he says all the right things and rallies in all these viewers, but he's really a neo-con in sheep's clothing. At least Olbermann is straight forward with his bs.

YouTube - Glenn Beck is a Neocon (Not a Libertarian) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6C6E6ayh4U)

Think for a moment about how your average politically moderate person's thoughts are effected when they turn on Olbermann versus Beck. Let them watch Olbermann every day and they will turn into rabid, anti-liberty, leftists. At least with Beck they get closer to the truth. You can't really believe it would be easier to sway someone who has been watching Olbermann for five years than someone who has been watching Beck for five years. That's really what it's all about. Only the sheeple have their opinions informed by tv anyways, so that's really not the place to worry about "infiltration".

[angelatc]

I'm confused by this, because if you are Christian Jesus was not a prophet, but yeah I think I understand the overall jist. You cannot be christian if any other word is on the same footing as the word given as per Jesus.

So Catholics aren't Christian because they pray to the Mother?

How about the Trinity?

Actually, any religion that recognizes Jesus as the Son of God is considered Christian.

Total viewers (25-54) (35-64)

According to one definition on this thread, Catholics are not Christians because they accept that righteous non-Christians can go to heaven.

You're kidding, right?

MT, could you find a link to that? I'd love to have that.

Thanks.

Locke argued exactly for that in his essay on "On the Reasonableness of Christianity"

Kinda ironic... Glenn and Angus are both Scottish names. Angus comes from the mythical god of love, intelligence and wit Angus Og.

Glenn basically means someone who lives in the wide space between two mountains.

No reason for bringing it up other than i wished the mountains were those underwater ones in the middle of Atlantic. Then Beck would be useful in providing sustenance for all those wee creatures...



He spent most of the show talking about Medina and bashing her supporters. He even mentioned that he has been inundated.

Several callers challenged him and one man from Texas named "Angus" even mocked Beck....Beck then hung up and made fun of him for "being named after a piece of steak".....real mature Glenn....

He totally bullied and humiliated this one sweet old lady who tried to defend Medina....and she was clearly nervous and not very articulate. It was so uncalled for. This lady had even opened her remarks by saying how much she loved and appreciated Beck's show!

He just kept hammering her with questions....the more nervous she got, the more Beck yelled and mocked her....What a BULLY......I would love to kick his pudgy ass for the way he treated this caller.

He is no gentlemen and certainly no Christian.

Today's performance was worse than yesterday.

Keep writing him....

Angus was also MacGyver's first name, and they never gave it away until the final episode I think.

No offense intended, the "second chance" thing is what stood out to me and it was mentioned in other posts. My feeling is, we've been having this BECK IS A FRAUD versus BECK IS OUR FRIEND argument for a year now - when he first decided he was going to espouse Ron Paul's beliefs while pretending he came up with it totally on his own, through some personal epiphany. (To say nothing of the "Shut up about Glenn Beck already" threads.)

When he decided to attack our best hope at seeing an honest, liberty candidate make it in an important election, a candidate that is the very embodiment of the "tea party" concept, and everything Beck has been pretending to support all this time... well, I thought CERTAINLY NOW, the issue of whether or not Glenn Beck has ever had a shred of integrity, could be laid to rest. The man's a performer and a sleazy one at that.

It's commendable that you were able open the eyes of a socialist friend. But I bet your friend was a decent human to begin with. Glen Beck is a liar and appears to lack a conscience, and sociopaths are harmful to whoever they get near. Time to call a scumbag a scumbag and close the book.

Pretty much. I'm generally not a big fan of those people who try to tell me who can and who can't be a Christian.
