Having watched Beck in both the Bush and Obama years he appears to be someone who places himself against many government policies of the day to point out what is wrong with them.
We always need people like that to make sure the other side is presented and we aren't hoodwinked. :up:

I agree.
Go Glenn. Keep putting the links together in understandable visuals on your black board.
I pray for his safety and success.

I'd posted what I think of him a while back in this thread.
Besides what I'd said before, I believe he capitalizes on polarizing the country, and on fear. So he polarizes and builds fear. I feel that he's laughing his pandering money-hungry self to the bank. And I feel that he has a darkness inside him, and that he drags people into darkness. Of course, that's just a feeling.
But why don't you want the links?
I can only imagine what he'd have to say, what sort of fit he'd present, if it were a lie-beral public figure who'd done the same sort of "erasing" as he did.
so in order to avoid polarization and fear
we should all go along with the main stream media?

No, I don't think so. But I think Beck is pretty mainstream. I might dislike him less if he were more clearly identified as a comedian at core as Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert are.
I don't see much of a way to avoid polarization and fear via media. But maybe I'm just feeling extra cynical right now.
lain:
just because he has high ratings?
do you know what we mean when we say mainstream media?
of course you do
Beck does not polarize our country ... It's the the varying content that is within hearts of people that has polarized our nation.
Yes, our nation is clearly polarized, and I don't think the liberals like to see opposition finally surfacing from previously peace loving, TOO tolerant, TOO trustful, TOO busy, apathetic people.
Well, tough. It's about time they spoke up!

And like I said, I think he capitalizes on that. And fosters it.
But I enjoy similar entertainers, like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. And they obviously have their liberal biases.

Yeah, it's not as if liberals have ever faced opposition before...
Wha??
lain:As well people should.
And it's probably nice to have someone like Beck telling them what to say.Hi zoo,

And so you think the liberals or radical groups don't do any of that sort of thing??? Wake up. Who is calling the Tea Party groups racists... when they are not. Who is trying to stir up trouble on that front? I say its the people to the LEFT of conservatives.

That's fine. You have made your choice of content to hear based on what is in your heart as well... between you and I there is a big gap - which was my point exactly.

Perhaps they have experienced some, but not at the level they are feeling it now. Why else would there be so many misleading slanders and such whining. You're right, they are used to whining whenever they have opposition. They actually have become experts. They've learned this lesson ... tell a lie often enough and it will become truth in the ears of a lot of people.

Go Beck.
