There aren't enough of these Elmer Gantry fake religious fanatics [i.e. Beck] in this country to get anyone elected to a serious office, as will be revealed in November . .
What fools like Beck do is insult the intelligence of people who are not insane!!!
Hence, any candidate Beck supports will go d-o-w-n . .
IMO, the media highlights "them" because they're NUTZ . .
Did everyone read Palin's "refudiate" tweet??
[eyeball roll]
They remind me of my grandparents. Decent, human. They may not approve of my sexual orientation, but they'll still welcome me inside their homes if I needed anything. Yes, those folks do exist. And then I think of Beck, attempting to play them like a fiddle.
What other recreational media outlets will these folks frequent besides what FOX news makes available-- they certainly won't find themselves glued to the Current channel's 'Infomania.' How could people like Beck and Limbaugh spew daily torrents of ideological poison at them, convoluted manipulations that they pass off as truths?
Not to mention their efforts to undermine the notion of selflessness by redefining it as something evil, un-American...
I can't wrap my head around how Beck, who probably doesn't place an ounce of faith in a single word he says, can willfully sell his soul and his integrity for even a penny, let alone millions of dollars a year!
And I can't say I know Jesus on any intimate level, but I wish these modern-day Pharisee types had enough respect for Jesus to leave his name and message out of their agendas. It's sheer blasphemy, a new mutated strain of twisted televangelism. If this were the Old Testament era, Beck by now would have earned himself a notable struck-by-lightning death-story warning smack-dab in the middle of Exodus.
Anyway-- thanks for letting me rant.
What is this idiot paid millions to do again?
BTW, when does Glenn Beck officially add "cult leader" to his resume...?
It's Monday, Profit Glenda Day. Get on your knees! Don't lie! Buy Gold! Stand in the fire with your children!
sorry - computer blipped when I was editing...
Still nothing on the National Park Service calendar for August 28.
The only thing he could do at this point that would shock me, would be to tell the gathered masses at his rally to "GET A LIFE," Wiliam Shatner, SNL style, revealing to them that "They're believing the lies of an overdresed rodeo clown! Don't be so gullible folks! You were taking me seriously? What rubes!"
---------------------------------------------------
I put nothing past him except telling the truth.
But consider this...can you imagine how happy Glenn Beck would be if the IRS went after SOWF?
They aren't going to get a dime.
have a nice day.
Well, that's certainly redundant

Oh, and the group that is running the ads? They are Christians who are sick of Beck's false statements about Christianity.
He is a lunatic. He is dangerous. And most of all, he is very effective. The madness is spreading and if it's not stopped, something dreadful is on our horizon.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."
-Voltaire
I mean, I know the Right never stops to THINK, but seriously...
ENEMIES OF GOD? At what point does rhetoric become so abusrd that even the most blind partisan should feel compelled to call it out?
------------------------------------------------
It bad enough when that language is used for Abortion (but not War, Capital Punnishment, etc...) but there's not even a abortion bill pending this week! WTF?!
Good points, and I agree entirely with almost all of what you're saying.
But I take issue with your last statement. Authoritarianism is not really a charectaristic of modern American Liberalism. In modern America (notice how I'm not speaking about the rest of the world, or for all of history) Authoritarianism is an inherently Right-Wing, Conservative phenomenon.
The Left's tolerance for disagreement is imfamous - to the point where the disorganiztaion and disunity or the Democrats is a common joke, well accepted as fact. And I for one don't deny it! But it's certainly evidence AGAINST the presence of Authoritarianism in the Democrats.
The Republicans OTOH? Whether you consider their consistent lockstep voting unity or their inability to ever disagree with Rush Limbaugh w/o apologizing for it later or their intolerance of minority groups, etc, etc... Authoritarianism is essential to their political ideology. It doesn't HAVE to be, but that doesn't change the fact that it IS.
I think it's more about plain old IGNORANCE: they just don't SEE the Authoritarianism they're embracing in the name of "freedom," "liberty," and "patriotism." And they're just as blind as to what THOSE WORDS really mean as well, and to the inherent contradiction of doing this.
--------------------------------------------
IMHO
That's what I keep saying . . . these people are NOT conservatives.
OK, I'll buy that.
I still say that authoritarianism is almost entirely the property of the Right in this country, even if it is just a means to control the sheep. The sheep may not be conservatives, but the authoritarians they're following - and voting for - ARE.
---------------------------------------------------
And I just don't see it on the left, at all.
Authoritarians are more likely to fall in behind Conservatives than Liberals. Liberalism is too scary for them.
Glenn: "My god is not like that."
Me: "Then what is you god about?"
Glenn: "My god is about freedom."
Me: "Freedom in what way, the old Testament way?"
Glenn: "Yes."
Me: "So you are saying that if a person is working on a Sunday he/she should be stoned to death?"
Glenn: "It does not say that, and how would you know; you don't even believe in god."
Me: "Read this." *show chapter and verse*
Glenn: "But that is the Old Testament, we live in the New Testament."
Me: "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Nostradumbass is in good company.

Although, that wouldn't really do all that much DAMAGE...
Tania: Glenn! With my Best Friend! How could you!? Lassie, how could you!?
To equate God with a party, a man conceived ideology, is to trivialize the sovereignty of God, or in other words, to take God's name if vain.
"Get behind me, (sic Glenn)Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
I'm with you on the Osama Bin Laden comparison. In fact, anybody who claims someone or something is an "enemy of God" can pretty much always be marked as a crazy person, and potentially an evil one.
So Glenn Beck speaks for God!.......I am glad I'm a Secular Humanist.
I'd laugh if I didn't think he was capable of doing it and what is far worse, that there many would follow him.
This guy is a danger to himself and everyone else.
