My Thoughts On The Glenn Beck Rally

I don't think what a talk show host says on their show is really news. All he did was say that he thinks up to 10% of Islamics are terrorist. Its not like he called them all terrorist. Either the shoe fits or it does not. If someone said 10% of all white males are raciest I would not be offended because I'm not.

I agree, but that type of rhetoric is what people actually believe who watch...just like how people believe obama is a muslim, or not born in this country etc. Look, anybody with sense knows that simply is not true, just like this stated opinion from beck. I have no problem with calling him out and making him look like a fool. What is truely bizaare is his producer then trys to support the figure. Its funny to me how these "rumors" start, but dont take offense when blantent ignorance is completely crushed by fact. Your right though, dont take what this talk show host rants as news.

Matty you might want to read this post again that 12th made starting this thread.

Please, you really believe the crowd wasn't pro-Beck and mostly conservative??

You called a crazy cult and I was pointing out what 12th said about the people and what he saw.

Crazy comes in many forms, it's not always outwardly noticeable.

Glenn Beck: Welcome To My 'Favorite Things' Episode! Here's A Christmas Survival Bag (http://www.businessinsider.com/glenn-beck-does-a-favorite-things-show-no-really-2010-12)

I wanted to post this in the What are you getting for Christmas thread, but i didnt want to cause any trouble.... This was pretty funny though.

I dvr his show and watch it on the reg., but only finish about 2 shows a week. This was one i couldnt finish, it just felt like he was selling stuff the whole time. I think part of the problem with his shows are that they are on for i think 3 hours a day; 2 hours on radio, 1 on tv. They are also opinion shows (which he makes very clear), so he has to talk about how he feels about stuff for 3 hours a day 5 days a week, that’s a lot theres only so much you can say. In my opinion 2 or 3 of his tv shows a week are great; they are fascinating, entertaining, engaging, funny, inspiring, emotional, and eventful. But some are pretty crappy. He’s also a little bit of a manic, so one day you watch and hes completely down to earth and does a great job conveying his message. Another day its like hes pissed off at the world and comes across angry and emotional inspired not fact-based driven.

I normally never talk about politics, except on here. I find myself defending Beck because I feel like most people make up their minds on him and write him off as a loon without ever watching his show, only watching clips on the Daily Show and I guess now CNN or reading headlines that are completely misleading. His show is on at a time slot that most people find inconvenient so its extremely easy for people to take him out of context, smear him or even make outright lies about him. Most people accept it as fact because they don’t have the chance to make their minds up about him directly from watching his show. In my opinion he is much more moderate then O’Rielly and definitely Shawn Hannity, but its much harder to attack these people since they have prime time viewing hours.

Heard this rumor for the last several months, looks like FOX is sick of ole Glen Beck and his bullsh*t.

If they were tired of his bullshit I don't see why they would have all those plans to do other shows. I'm guessing that trying to do a morning radio show and a TV show is too much work and Beck is cutting back. Not sure how many stations carry his radio show but I'm guessing that makes more then what FOX pays him. The few times I have watch his show I have found it very entertaining.

Yeah, very entertaining.

The reason is Beck makes them $$$. The more extreme the rhetoric, the better the ratings, and Becks were sky high. I would watch a couple times a month just to see what that jackass would say next. Fox was sick of his stuff, and he was losing his primary viewers, the 50+ crowd, in the end they will say its was mutual
