The Glenn Beck Boycott Gaining Traction - FOX News Losing Money

Conservative said:
Yet two million watch Glenn Beck each and every day, 4 times his nearest competitor. 60 million people voted for Barack Obama and he lies every day so I find it interesting that Obama supporters are more worried about the 2 million people who watch Beck than the 60 million that are still be lied to by this President. What exactly is your point?

I keep hearing that Beck lied but Beck has zero affect on the policies being implemented thus has zero affect on your life. Obama has more of an affect and no one is bothered by his lies. Make sense to you?

That is because you don't pay any attention and continue to drink the kool-aid. I find you to be economically challenged and basically every weak in debating the issues. Not surprising you don't believe me but that doesn't matter. Your continued support for what is going on destroys what little credibility you have as the results always trump rhetoric. All those promises that Obama made are ignored because you support the man and ignore the message, policies and results. Results matter, not rhetoric. Obama inherited a 10.6 trillion dollar debt that is now over 13 trillion. He inherited 11 million unemployed that is now over 15 million, he inherited a 14.5 trillion dollar economy and in two years hasn't increased it at all. He inherited growing govt. revenue and to date that revenue continues to drop. Yes, "your" President continues to make a fool out of his supporters. Apparently you don't mind being made a fool of.

What we are going to get are YouTube videos that don't tell the whole story or how Beck reacted to the videos. Most are taken either out of context or aren't really significant at all.

Do you think Glenn Beck was lying when he said Woodrow Wilson campaigned against declaring war on Germany just so he could get elected?
BECK: I hate this S.O.B., and the more you learn about this guy, the more you will too. This is the most evil guy I think we've had in office. 1916, Woodrow Wilson won re-election in part -- large part due to a commitment to keep America from entering World War I. One of the campaign slogans boasted, "He kept us out of war." There was a very strong anti-war sentiment in America at the time. Americans -- if Americans favored a side, they would have gone with the Germans, because Germans were the largest ethnic group in America at the time. Most people weren't paying attention; the Germans were. OK. So on the eve of asking Congress to declare war on Germany -- yeah, remember, he ran I'm not going to get us into war -- it was a month later -- I've got to give you the exact date, because this is amazing: 1916, he was running for election. 1917, his inaugural address, March 4, 1917, he said we're going to pursue peace and even though we have been injured by the effects of war, we're not going into war. That was March 4, 1917. April 13, 1917, America goes to war. ​

No, I don't think Beck was lying, that was Beck's opinion and based upon the time line he was right, wasn't he? Were you around then? Is every opinion that you disagree with a lie? It is very petty when you call someone else's opinion which that was a lie.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but not the facts. Consider the following:

March 12, 1917: Steamship Algonquin, gross 2,832 tons; sunk with gunfire and bombs by German submarine U-62, 65 miles west of Bishops, off Scilly Islands, Great Britain, no casualties.

March 16, 1917: Steamship Vigilancia, gross 4.115 tons; torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-70, 145 miles west of Bishops, off Scilly Islands, Great Britain; 15 killed.

March 17, 1917: Steamship City of Memphis, gross 5,252 tons; sunk with gunfire by German submarine (UC type), 33 miles south of Fastnet, Ireland; no casualties.

March 18. 1917: Steamship Illinois, tanker, gross 5,225 tons; sunk with bombs by German submarine (UC type) in the English Channel, 20 miles north of Alderney, Channel Islands; no casualties.

March 21, 1917: Steamship Healdton, tanker, gross 4,489 tons; torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine 25 miles north of Terschelling, Holland, 20 killed.

April 1, 1917: Steamship Aztec, gross 3,727 tons; torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine (UC type), off Ushant Light, Quessant Island, northwest coast of France; 28 killed.​
 
Further:
In January of 1917, British cryptographers deciphered a telegram from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German Minister to Mexico, von Eckhardt, offering United States territory to Mexico in return for joining the German cause. This message helped draw the United States into the war and thus changed the course of history. The telegram had such an impact on American opinion that, according to David Kahn, author of The Codebreakers, "No other single cryptanalysis has had such enormous consequences." It is his opinion that "never before or since has so much turned upon the solution of a secret message." In an effort to protect their intelligence from detection and to capitalize on growing anti-German sentiment in the United States, the British waited until February 24 to present the telegram to Woodrow Wilson. The American press published news of the telegram on March 1. On April 6, 1917, the United States Congress formally declared war on Germany and its allies.
The story of British intelligence efforts to decipher the German code is fascinating and complicated. The Zimmermann Telegram by Barbara Tuchman recounts that story in all of its exciting detail. It is an excellent historical account for high school students.

The coded telegram is from Decimal File 862.20212/82A (1910-1929), and the decoded telegram below is from Decimal File 862.20212/69 (1910-1929), General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59.​

What is your point? If that is the best you can do, you are in real trouble. So let me get this straight, your idea of a blatant lie is Beck claiming that he didn't like Wilson and Wilson took us to war after running on a platform of not going to war? Interesting but more of a diversion from the present liar in chief in the WH

yeah, that's how all of their "oh look! Beck is lying! claims come down to - a disagreement in analysis. I half expect them to come back with a "Glenn Beck said that Obamacare is a bad bill EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE BEST BILL EVER!!!!".

Diversion is an interesting word because that's exactly what you are doing here, diverting this discussion from Glenn Beck to President Obama.

What is the thread topic? I divert to Obama because nothing Beck does or says has any impact on the U.S. economy or national security.

There is an on/off switch along with a channel changer so you don't have to watch Beck. Too bad that isn't the case with "your" President. We cannot turn him off or change the channel but instead have to live with his policies. Why is it that liberals have to spread their misery equally to everyone else?

The only think factual is the video posted, not the content, context, or the aftermath. Calling Beck a liar or anyone else that is construed a threat a liar is what liberals do to divert attention from the message and the reality that the guy they voted for and supported is an empty suit that has made outrageous statements that are the true lies. How is that hope and change working out for you?

I don't watch Glenn Beck but I do listen to his radio program. I don't know where those lies are that you and others claim but I do see how he creates enemies, he presents a point of view that drives liberals crazy.

A "point of view"?? That must be a euphemism for distorted version of history with equal helpings of fear mongering and race-baiting.

All have been documented right here.

Ignorance is bliss in the liberal world. Sorry but you are out of touch with reality.

Why do Beck fans always assume that anyone who thinks Beck is an idiot and a fool is 'liberal'. That tells me the real reason you like Beck has nothing to do with truth or knowledge, but his distorted pov feeds your need for something.

Try to keep up? LOL, apparently you don't get the actual news from the MSM or leftwing blogs that you read or listen to. Fox News had the highest recorded profit in their history last quarter, so my suggestion to you is to stop letting the media make a fool out of you. Their profits have been reported in this thread, find it instead of spouting rhetoric

Your dislike for Beck is noted but also noted is your lack of credibility. Don't watch him, turn him off, but the guy drives people like you crazy that to me that is a good thing. Keep diverting from the disaster we have in the WH by calling Beck a liar and distorting history. Before one can distort history you and others need to first learn history.
