Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck facing axe

Dr_Patrick said:
It's not really religious people. I don't see liberals complaining about hardcore Buddhists. It's more specifically the few Christians who feel like they should try to impose their beliefs on others by trying to get said views legislated. I have absolutely no problem with Christians in general. To each their own.

Bull****, it's not occuring. Tell me all the laws that have been past that force everyone on their knees. It's a total outright lie and exaggeration. Go ahead, list all of them.

I don't recall saying anything remotely close to implying that laws that have passed that force everyone on their knees. Nice try, though.

It's all crap, they know no laws have been passed. You ever see anyone kneeling down to pray anywhere but in a church? Who is forced to pray, based on a law passed on account of Christians. Nobody, that's who.

Again, where did I imply that? Perhaps you should actually reply to what I said instead of making something up and pretending that's what I said.

I'm still waiting for someone... anyone... to post a source at FOX stating that Beck is indeed up for the axe because of loss of viewers... or for any reason for that matter. Right now, all we have is the wish of the OP and his source (an 'opinion piece').

right. So, we are still left with NOTHING... NADA... ZIP...ZILCH...ZERO for the liberal whiners to base the 'Beck is gonna get axed soon' nonsense on... but nonsense. After more than 500 posts... not a shred of evidnce to back up a dumbass OP.

typical lefties.

I honestly don't believe it either. He's too much of an asset to that network to get canned. While his ratings have gone down, they are still significant enough to warrant keeping him around.
 
Dr_Patrick said:
Even there you are giving him a lot of credit. Does it occur to you that his whole madman thing could be an act? I don't think Ann Coulter is insane either. They are **** stirrers. I think he portrays an insane person because it helps to add to his viewership and the people who are outraged by him. Did you see him when he was on CNN Headline News? His whole thing was completely toned down and nobody gave a **** about the guy. Now that he's on the ratings whore that is Fox News, he has free reign to act as nuts as he wants.

It's true that he's free to be himself. They wouldn't allow that on liberal HLN. He couldn't stand working there.

I don't think he's really being himself on Fox. I think he has free reign to be as outrageous as he wants to appear to be. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy his whole shtick.

The only laws I know being pssed are hurting Catholics and orphans. They have to close down their foster care and adoption centers because they don't think gays are the best choice for adoptions.

I've been listening to him for years. He's got ADD, and yes that's him. I'm not crazy about some of the paths he goes down, but I never think he's faking anything. In fact, I'm sure he's not.
 
Iron Yank said:
Yet when you compare Beck to some of the Czars and appointees in the Obama administartion along with his circle of friends which include various levels of Commies, Socialists, Racists, Anti-semites, terrorists, Jihadis and Chicago mob types he looks & sounds refreshingly sane.

yeah, those quotes are... shall we say, taken out of context doesnt' begin to do it justice.

I don't see "outrageous" when I watch Beck (which isn't often because I'm never home to watch it). It's not outrageous that Obama has Socialist and Communist advisors. It's true. It's not outrageous that buying gold when it was $300 was a good idea. Duh. It's not outrageous to educated yourself about the Founding Fathers and what they believed - in THEIR OWN WORDS, not a historian's interpretation 240 years later.

Now, I did see "outrageous" when Beck first started on Fox. He would dress up in costumes and use all sorts of props to get his point across. It was genius. He was entertaining along with telling us his opinions based on facts. The frog in boiling water incident was one of my favorites! :)

Trollery. Of course if the faith is paranoid nonsense then it should bother all sane and rational people. Do we need to make a list of all the nutters who are/were confident and secure in their faith?

No, but you do need to have some examples of what it is that bothers you so...All you have is name calling for those who don't agree with you.

Absolutely, and I don't believe that I have ever heard him lay out any of his theory without saying repeatedly, "don't rely on me, look it up!"

Liberals don't like being exposed, and it is shocking the extent they will go to trash those who do that.

Glenn Beck Lie of the Day Archive | The Glenn Beck Report

While this isn't exactly an unbiased website, if you youtube/google any of those dates, he actually said all of those and used all of those to back it up.
Click to expand...

Oh boy.... this web site is a barrel of laughs. They take Beck's opinions and claim they are lies because they are not true "IN THEIR OPINION!!".

Example:

7/22/10 – Glenn claims that the “Republic is over” because of the passage of the Wall Street reform legislation. Ummm… look out yer friggin’ window, Glenn.
Click to expand...

Hmmm, wonder if Beck gave a date ??

And here's the best one I found in my quick read:

7/28/10- from 7/27/10 Glenn promulgates and amplifies the lie told by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday when Chris told Howard Dean “the video had never played on the Fox News Channel before the White House fired [Sherrod] it was on Andrew Breitbart, biggovernment.com, we’re not responsible for them, I agree with you that it was out of context but it wasn’t on Fox News.”

The claim “it wasn’t on Fox News” is the lie. On July 19th, BEFORE Sherrod resigned, Fox ran a story with a still shot from the Brietbart video under the headline “Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn’t Give ‘Full Force’ Of Help to White Farmer”. You’re BUSTED, Glenn. You and Chris Wallace, too…
Click to expand...

Let me get this straight.... Beck and Wallace claimed there was no video of Sherrod BEFORE she was fired on Fox News. This joke of a site claims they lied because there were STILL photos of Sherrod giving the speech on Fox.

Do these clowns know the difference between video and still photos ?????
 
Glenn Beck, gave her the benefit of the doubt on his 4 pm show and said he's have to see the full tape. He was in her corner.

j-mac, the thing about liberals is that they are so altruistically, self-righteous that they dote on the face in the mirror shouting at themselves...'I don't need any higher power.' These people who see our Constitution as a burdensome relic unable to change with the times. Who have this humungous "big tent" that they take so much pride in, but who only let in people who agree with them. Wassup wid stupid, intellectually impotent liberals anyway and how come this isn't the liberal male gender indicator here?:moon:

Yeah. I sure did. Beck's an insufferable idiot.

What in your judgement makes him an "idiot'? Just curious, because I think he's "insufferable" too. I've probably watched him a total of about twenty or so times.

That's right... liberals don't like being exposed, but Conservatives prefer to be exposed so men can touch it in airport bathrooms

Actually, shes a great example also of liberal ignorance. I can vouch for the fact that I've never had a conservative woman expose herself to me in any airport bathroom. Nor train or bus station either. She must have us confused with liberal transsexuals huh?
