Previously:

Beck to Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, prior to his loss in the recent special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District: "I like you. You seem like a normal guy. You seem like a nice guy. You seem like the kind of person that we need in Washington, which is just a regular person."

      Did he just throw his followers under the bus?? Beck gets them organized then says "it wasn't me", "It was them"

      It seems as though Beck doesn't want to take any responsibility for what happens and yet at the same time is promoting "something". He says he doesn't endorse candidates but he does. He says he doesn't tell people what to do but he does. He says he is not standing behind any particular party or affiliation but he does.

        It makes the Lonesome Rhodes nickname fit all the more. I think he is very dangerous, and I really believe he has a deepseated hatred towards just about everyone. I am not sure who he wouldn't throw under the bus, a wife or child, maybe, but I'm not really sure. He is an angry, dangerous, hateful man.

      Translation, he doesn't want it to be partisan in the current sense. He wants to create a new party that will ask him to lead and then graciously hand him over the government to run as he sees fit.

      He doesn't "endorse" candidates, he just says who he really really likes and has the same ideological views as himself, and who he thinks is a socialist, communist, Hitler-loving, big-government loving, atheist scum-bag. See, that isn't endorsing. Beck doesn't say go out and vote for this guy, he just gives you all the reasons not to like or vote for the other guy. How is that endorsing? Its just slander of one while agreeing with the other.

      I think the shameful part of this segment, is not only that he disavows himself from the movement he clearly supports and have supported, and the fact that he made the statement that he is not endorsing candidates which is break away from his past practices. No, the most disturbing part is even after all his hypocracy and flip flopping, she still supports him.

      My prediction is that Glenn Beck is nothing more than the equivalent of a wrestler who entertains his base. When that base turns, so will Beck, my prediction is that he will support a Democrat, and watch the money come pouring in.

      He doesn't need to endorse a candidate (as he did with Hoffman) if he constantly derides the other candidate.

      Non partisan? Yeah, OK. I'm sure. Just seems as though he hates everything democrat, and loves everything republican (more or less).

      So, Glenn Beck is more like a sea turtle. He lays the eggs for movements like the 9/12 Project, then heads out to sea and lets the fledgling teabaggers fend for themselves. If they make it, great. If they don't, he tried. Just remember, he is nonpartisan.

      Isn't this all proof that Beck is making this up as he goes along? He reads some book with an interpretation of political parties, the founders, or world history and this is his new axe to grind. Look at his endless stream of books and theories. He is vomiting up his fever on paper like the obsessed antagonist in a crime thriller. His personal appearances are sometimes a comedy tour, A Christmas show, a political movement and always a call to ask questions and speak up. The answers and solutions to those questions never matter because tomorrow, Beck's mind will be onto something else that he has just read or over heard. He'll be armed with new information and facts, no matter how dubious, and off he will go back out to sea.

      Bonehead Beck did not feel this way until a black man because President. Beck thinks Politicians and politics have betrayed him, his followers, and the "founding fathers".
      As long as Obama is President Beck will embrace and encourage, hateful people, like him, to commit treason, which is what his August upcoming rally is about.

      Beck forgets that Sarah Palin said he would make a good running mate in 2012. What if Beck decides to run? The "over my dead body" comment could come back to haunt him.
      This is the same stupidity coming from the Republican Party. You can credit Obama's Presidency for Republicans' willingness to show the world how un-American and un-Patriotic they really are. Whatever happened to their "country first" slogan? Was it just a lie? Sure looks like it now that Obama is President.
      Those who can't or refused to judge their character and deeds during these times are nothing but un-educated, misguided fools.

      Did Glenn Beck fall down dead when he said that? Because, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he endorse Hoffman? I mean, I just looked it up and he did, but that could have been all lies. And I saw Hoffman on his show, but that could have been edited or photoshopped.

      I hope Glenn Beck is okay. I wouldn't want anything to happen to him because he's a moron.
