Graham on Fox News Sunday: "Beck doesn't represent" GOP; "I choose not to" watch Beck

I just love the way Fox asks a question.

"I think he represents cynicism."

"Are you saying Glenn Beck is bad for America?"

Apology to Glenn Beck in 3... 2... 1...

Could it be that Becky is finally being seen though like a glass window? Will he get appologized to by the GOP? Hmmmm. I will wait and see this one. It happened before why not again.

Uh oh, It looks like Beck is going to expose Graham's ACRON connection on Monday!

Uh oh, It looks like Beck is going to expose Graham's ACORN connection on Monday!

Graham is just angry because Becky dissed Lindsay's boy, John McCain.

Graham's isn't the kind of political analysis that I buy into.

I just heard David Brooks on Meet the Press say similar things. In my opinion both Graham and Brooks represent a more responsible conservative leadership that is willing to, at times, analyze and think independently. I wonder if we will be seeing more of this distancing from hannity/beck/limbaugh from the GOP, especially when the angry mob base has outlived its usefullness.

Keep in mind that protesting in general has been a dirty word among many conservatives. Angry masses focused on your political rivals is one thing, but angry masses, especially given a high profile by certain news outlets, can also be an embarrassement.

Its a weird dynamic in a way. Angry leftist mobs have been so marginalized that it is easy for democrats to distance themselves from them politically and rhetorically. Having tea baggers represent the definitive definition of the conservative movement puts the more sober GOP political operatives in a tight spot.

What's really ironic here, is that Graham is trying to sound like a responsible republican.

Just a few years ago he was on the fringe of the party with the likes of Gingrich.

Did Glenn Beck actually say the country is better off with BarackObama than with John McCain ? Or is this the regular sen Graham sucking upto FOX misquoting someone fast enough no time tockeck?

I suspect Mr. Graham of thinking ahead to 2012, and who will lead the GOP back to the White House. His hard right position is still fairly hard right, demonstrable by the fact that "...when a person says he represents conservatism, and that the country is better off with Barack Obama than John McCain, that sort of ends the debate for me..."

So, when Glenn Beck admitted that we are better off under Obama than we would've been under McCain (and Palin!), he's no longer credible in Mr. Graham's political world. Very well, Mr. Graham, you have made yourself abundantly clear, at least to this voter. You won't even discuss the possibility, given economics is currently our number one domestic problem, and McCain has a self-admitted lack of understanding of the subject? I've been enjoying your moderate conservative shtick, but you've just exposed it as a farce. See you in 2010!

looks like Graham is going to get "primaried" he is now part of the left wing.

Graham Knows President Obama plans will work.He has been doing a little CYA for the past few months,hedging his bets

graham is not the face of the GOP and never will be, Beck is an entertainer, and a good one

Does anyone else think that Glenn Beck looks like a weirded-out doorman on the cover of his book?

"He did a pretty good job on ACORN"

That tells me all I need to know on where Sen. Graham stands. Which would be right next to the teabaggers, et al.

I am pleased to know that some Republicans also know that Beck is an idiot.

My respect for you Mr. Graham has increased immensely.
