It was the silliness I could not bring myself to tolerate.

He was never tied to one party or the other and told it like it was. This requires lots of chutzpah. Also he didn't mix words about the Bush economy when others were blinded by loyalties.lubindavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523248855086955502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-79249950772666995352011-04-08T17:14:32.765-07:002011-04-08T17:14:32.765-07:00Alan, you are disingenuous at best jealous at wors...Alan, you are disingenuous at best jealous at worst! Glenn is performing due diligence that the media and others including yourself have failed to perform. he is not nearly as full of himself as you are in your analysis. Glenn has no shortage of sponsors, lets see your proof of, "Insiders noted that Beck was unable to attract or retain the advertising necessary to sustain the show on air."<br />Glenn speaks to the masses not to the know it all elite which you have shown yourself to be, not that that is a bad thing in and of itself, I still think you have a valid place in the milieu just that now you have tarnished yourself with a petty put down of Glenn who has a following that you could only dream of.Capt.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06300031322533752124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-5113982262008817732011-04-08T16:56:40.909-07:002011-04-08T16:56:40.909-07:00My reaction to Glenn Beck was similar to yours.

Glenn Beck's analyses are more often correct than not, but his basis for a solution is incorrect.Dave's Daily Day Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491764990082380190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-2741200623727092972011-04-07T12:06:38.923-07:002011-04-07T12:06:38.923-07:00I have to say, I am NOT a fan of Stephen Colbert b...I have to say, I am NOT a fan of Stephen Colbert but when he described Beck’s program and delivery as ”crank up the crazy and rip off the knob“, Colbert hit that one out of the park!<br /><br />Personally, I think Beck started to believe the reviews concerning his greatness and presentation, I think it went to his head and knocked him completely off of his game.<br /><br />A religious fanatic, ANY religious fanatic, is a dangerous person...

The guy went from less than 200 pounds to over 400 pounds! He had become a food addict in order to replace the drug addiction. The man was out of the frying pan into the fire with numerous life threatening problems related to his food addiction.<br /><br />In Glenn Beck's case he has replaced his alcoholism with addiction to religion by attempting to become a latter day Mormon prophet warning of doom and gloom daily on his television program.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.com
