Glenn Beck Responds To Lindsey Graham's Comments On Libertarianism

[DragonFly122]

What does Lindsey do to take care of his skin.

[romanpr1nce]

RON PAUL IS EVIL! I'M NOT GONNA BACK THIS STATEMENT UP WITH FACTS BUT IM USING ALL CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!

Seriously the conservative party has been hijacked by neocons who come from the LEFT! Ron Paul is more conservative than all of the other 2012 presidential hopefuls combined.

[WinkyMaeve]

Ron Paul, is a libertarian, shut the fuck up bill you are a neo conservative.

[exsinor]

Glenn Beck is no Libertarian. HE doesn't even know what he is, Other than a con artist charlatan who runs around with his conspirisy theories crying the SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!

[Roph58]

I really don't care if he is gay or not,seeing how these republican politicians vote, just wonder how much they love the USA,to tell the truth I don't think they do at all,they just want to get a total majority in the house,senate and a republican president so they can fuck us over once and for all and help there corporate masters,you idiots out there that think the republican party is gonna help the average american person is truly a gullible moron.

[camifarr]

Stand up for repeal of pork and your opinion will mean so much more to me. Sick of my Govt stealing every dollar they can get their hands on and spending it like drunken sailors (as Regan said, my apology to the Drunken Sailors).

[opptynox]

Beck = Tool. What a self absorbed destructive child. Mormon... need I say anything further?

[bd1965]

Lindsey Graham is a redneck ass clown

[Willredd94]

Anything but a Lindsey Graham neoconservative. Ron Paul is perfect on domestic policy, monetary policy, fiscal policy and economic policy. And those are obviously the issues of the day. If not Paul then definitely Sen. Jim DeMint who has consistently voiced opposition to the Neocon/Republican Establishment. I just hope he runs.

[k3w1b3an5]

I think hell just froze over... I just agreed with Glen Beck.

[ElaineEC]

Graham is a RINO and needs to go.

[jawbone83]

id vote for penn gillette (sp?)

[anthonym267]

Glen is not a Libertarian. He is another Bushite, Reaganite neoconservative.

[Jagnole101]

@anthonym267 He believes in lower taxes, individual freedom, a stable military...what is wrong with what Reagan btw? Reagan came in after another libtard promised "Change", and fixed the deficit caused by him. Carter was a disaster. Reagan lowered taxes, lowered the inflation rate, lowered the interest rate, created 21 million new jobs, made the military stronger...how's Obama doing with job-creation now? All y'all do is make excuses for him...Reagan didn't point fingers like Obama..

[anthonym267]

@Jagnole101 How did those eight years of Bush work out? Reagan didn't create a surplus, but Clinton did. Reagan also drove up the deficit and the nat. debt. He kept us safe and I respect him for it. But the interest rate is the lowest its been in history. Reagan didn't point fingers? He did the whole eight years, blaming Carter. I'm NOT a liberal, and NEVER supported Obama. I think hes a douchebag. But cutting taxes without cutting spending is INSANE!

[Jagnole101]

@anthonym267 Bush sucked because he became more and more like the liberals...as did the republicans in the house and senate(til 2006)...more spending is what liberals do! Clinton had the dot.com thing workout for him, and the republicans came up with the welfare-reform act...but he gets all the credit for that. And when the republicans took back the house again, he blamed the problems on them and won again. Reagan didn't blame Carter dumbass, he went out and actually made shit happen. continued

[anthonym267]

@Jagnole101 consider myself a moderate Republican. The problem with the Republican party today is for one: we meddle in foreign conflicts way too much. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and we invaded them anyway. I would love to see a candidate like Ron Paul win it all, but we wont because he wouldn't have the backing of the military industrial complex and the religious right. I reject the tea movement because I'm not convinced of their fiscal conservatism.

[anthonym267]

@Jagnole101 What we need to do, instead of starting wars overseas, is secure our borders. We also need to find some sort of solution to the illegal immigrant problem. do I want them to get amnesty? no. But anyone who thinks that were going to round up 20 million people and deport them is out of touch with reality. We need to stop the influx. I like Mike Huckabee's plan on immigration, where they would pay a fine and once they've done that, they would get citizenship.

[Jagnole101]

@anthonym267 I can't really say it was starting a war...Jihad was declared against us a long time ago. Yes, we do need to secure our borders very much so...it can definitely hurt us more than it has if we don't do that soon. Huck has a good idea about that.. but unfortunately, with any liberal in office(who relies on votes from giving handouts to minorities) that won't happen lol

[Jagnole101]

@anthonym267 Continued- I take back the dumbass comment, but come on man, Reagan didn't point fingers the entire time he was in office, like Obama has been doing.Clinton also reacted to every terrorist attack around the world as if it were nothing, and some sort of police exercise..He basically kicked a can into GWB's backyard, and let him deal with what was soon to be 9/11. If you are a libertarian..I am ok with that, but conservatism is what will keep this country on track- continued again

[anthonym267]

@Jagnole101 I consider myself a moderate Republican. The problem with the Republican party today is for one: we meddle in foreign conflicts way too much. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11 and we invaded them anyway. I would love to see a candidate like Ron Paul win it all, but we wont because he wouldn't have the backing of the military industrial complex and the religious right. I reject the tea movement because I'm not convinced of their fiscal conservatism.

[anthonym267]

@Jagnole101 Where were these so called "patriots" when surpluses turned to massive deficits? I agree that we must cut spending, and retain lower taxes. But we shouldn't just cut welfare spending. We need to cut defense spending as well as scale back our presence over seas. Obama to me seems like he is just an extension of Bush. I knew he would spend like Bush did, but I was hoping he would atleast pull us out of Iraq completely, and Afghanistan too.

[Jagnole101]

@anthonym267 Continued (again) libertarians are better than liberals, and moderate republicans...but I still think that they bash republicans way too much. They should bash liberalism in general. Liberalism is the reason the Republican party went down hill toward the end of the 20th century.

[spinners123]

Ron paul PLEASE!

[jkfromcincty]

What business is it of Ms. Beck's that Mr. Graham is gay?

[quicksilver57]

Beck is such an ass

[Nemesis000000]

Beck can't even say the word and claims to be one.

He supports American imperialist foreign policy, what could be less libertarian?

[Eastmanarium]

@Nemesis000000 Indeed. Beck is the walking definition of an AUTHORITARIAN, the antithesis of libertarianism.

[40172]

Like Lindsey while you can, we voters in SC are gonna send him packing when he is up for re-election. We dont think much of the RINOcowboy!

[mrfellowship]

How could you idiots elect such a freak like Linsey Graham... the guy is pushing for the

scanning of ALL AMERICANs, his New NAtional ID registration, you as AN AMERICAN in order to get a JOB will have your hand scanned, this scanner reads your VEINS on the back of your HAND, CREEPY... to say the least......

Tomorrow Graham is meeting with Obama to show Obama this new technology.

3-11-10 they are trying to implemet the NATIONAL BIOMETRIC ID JOBCARD

[PresidentRich]

Glenn Beck is not a libertarian; he's a statist neocon.

[sandro28grizz]

Look at the neocon Beck trying to pass himself off as a "libratarian". That jackass is almost single-handedly responsible for the waves upon waves of neocon Republicans who falsely think they are libertarians.

[drldrl81]

The rock wall is down hahahaha. Glen is still an idiot though.

[spiralmetal]

I wouldn't take anything that Glenn Beck says at face value and I wonder if it's true that Lindsey said those things. He's uptight because Lindsey was critical of him.

[denirio781]

Trust me.....Graham said all those things and then went on to attack Ron Paul for his Constitutional views on the war. Graham said that the Republican party will not accept Libertarian views and that Ron Paul is NOT the leader of the Republican Party. Graham also said that he is not interested in positions...he just wants to win elections. He wants more people like himself in office. Scary, scary thought!!

[spiralmetal]

Appreciate u sharing your thoughts. It's not surprising that he would have conflicting views with Ron Paul since some of his ideas are at odds with the party. I'm surprised that Lindsey would say such unsophisticated things as you claim. He strikes me as more balanced and sensible than that, but then again, I am not as familiar with him as other politicians. I'll keep in mind what u said.

A lot of what Ron Paul said during the last election really resonated with me. I like his ideas.

[spiralmetal]

I just heard it with my own ears on another video. You were right.

[mitchellzee]

There is now no difference between the two parties. None. You vote Liberal or Liberal lite. Conservatives like sean hannity and Hugh hewitt along with idiots like Lindsey Graham praise the war effort as if war is a good thing. neo-cons get all bent out of shape when you refer to the U.S. as an empire. if we are not an empire then what are we? Constitutional Republics certainly do not force democracy onto countries at gun point. Graham thinks Ron Paul is crazy for holding that view. stupid is..

[spiralmetal]

I noticed that about Lindsey when I watched a video of him giving a speech. He is strongly defensive of the Iraq War. I totally disagree with him on that point. I'm definitely with Ron Paul's view. But I admire Lindsey for his 'attack the message, not the person' kind of politics. He knows better than to get himself bogged down in nonsense propaganda like Obama "isn't an American citizen" and whatever. He even said he respects Ron Paul. He's just arguing over differences of opinion.

[jakefree25]

Libertarian to crackpots like Beck is to enable more Mormon only patriarchial communities.

[Chevrobert]

Apparently you don't know anything about Mormons. Maybe you should find out more about us before making statements like the one you made.

[jakefree25]

Ahem, I heard Beck himself say that federal church state separation amendment and rulings should only apply on a federal level so states & locales can have communitites or states where they can restrict residency to people of a particular faith. Is that something you want?

[Chevrobert]

Not for myself. But if Any group wants to live within a group of only their faith then why should they not be able too? If we are going to let gays get married then should we not allow others to live as they wish? Or does that only apply to the non religious? Is freedom only for them whilst the rest of us must simply be forced to live as you sit fit? And GB is right those rulings should only apply on the federal level. It isn't their job to interfere with local affiars.

[jakefree25]

Excuse me, but only a totally brainless bigot wants to have states, cities or towns that can exclude people based on religion, next it would be race, sex. Sorry if my contempt for that garbage makes you feel insulted, NOT.

You are such a bigot that you think denying people the right to legally discriminate against others is TAKING AWAY their freedom. Just like the slavers said that the US government was taking away their property rights and the freedom to govern the way they like.

[Chevrobert]

What happened? You couldn't answer my questions logically so you had to resort to insults and false claims of bigotry. So for you it is ok if certain groups have rights and live as they want too but not other groups? Especially religious groups. Sounds to me like you are the bigot not me. Those same people that you claim would be discriminated against would be free to live in a city of people who are like minded just as the religious people would so there is no discrimination.

[jakefree25]

Yeah you sound like a bigot, as well as illogical & barely literate. Since that precious bag of lies & fantasy that you and that Aryan moron Beck call a religion excluded blacks until 1978, there is a good chance you are a bigot too.

[Chevrobert]

Back to name calling I see. Is that all you liberals can do? You say I sound like a bigot yet I am not the one who is opossed to letting people live as they want to. How does that make me a bigot? I suspect as a liberal you merely reacted in typical liberal fashion and decided to resort to shaming tactics to make you feel like you won an argument. And btw I was seven years old in 1978 and hardly in any position to be a bigot. With your attacks on my faith it is clearly you who are the bigot.

[jakefree25]

I know that Joseph Smith was a total fraud and the fake history he based his crock faith on was laughable even in that time.

[Chevrobert]

How do you know Joseph Smith was a fraud? Where is your evidence? You seem to like to make claims without backing up those claims. You know like when you called me a bigot without even knowing me. Do you do things like that just to stir up an emotional response? If you want a good emo response then go insult another liberal I am sure you will get one. Insulting my religion will get no such response from me.

[joe80dman]

"AIPAC Lindsey" called concerned Americans xenophobes for not supporting amnesty for illegals. He calls We the People vulgar names if we don't "walk the party line", as he feels we should. This pompous dirtbag doesn't belong in any position of authority. His view of America is identical to that of the Ancient Roman Empire. And we're crumbling just as the Roman Empire did long ago.

[jakefree25]

The Roman Empire lasted a really long time

[joe80dman]

@jakefree25: And the Roman Empire crumbled very quickly, too. It imploded from WITHIN, just as our country is doing today.

[jakefree25]

I believe it was the Visigoths, Vandals, Huns etc from without that finally did them in. And if you look at the Byzantium Empire, the Eastern Half of the Roman Empire, it lasted a millenium longer until the Turks did them in after the Last Crusade.

[treid100182]

Glenn Douche-Beck is a scumbag...

$18,000,000 a year to do nothing, but divide an already divided Country...

Oh yeah, and Penn Jillette can go fuck himself.

[uniquemetal]

Glenn Beck has serious BRAIN SHIT SYNDROME and sadly the people who watch his program does as well.

[shooter348]

And we can tell from your writing abilities that you are real smart!

[jonlesser]

Why would you ask a Nevada resident if they're going to vote for Lindsay Graham?

[talkwjohn]

I think he meat would you vote for him he if he ran for president. but I don't know.

[bundlesjr]

Yay for South Carolina! The governer and both of these looney Senators are outta here! Thanks for finishing the job Glenn!

Its no joke when someone tells you the republicans are crumbling from within.

[CTforFreedom]

Bye bye Lindsay Graham....SC is not going to fall for your hot air in 2010!

[40172]

Lindsey is really a Democrat, Can you say RINO!

[grg61458]

Why I'm I a liberal, cause I'm to damn smart to be a dumb fuck republican.

[TheLoneH00t]

I'm also a liberal, and I agree with your comment, but I think you need to be careful anytime you speak about being smart and don't check for spelling and grammar errors...

..."too damn smart" (or, more correctly, "too damned smart"), not "to damn smart".

just a friendly reminder.

[redhead761]

P.S......Glenn Beck is an O'Reilly wanna-be!

[redgalaxy4]

I disagree. O'Reilly believes in global warming, actually favors a lot of big government ideas, and is a bonifide neocon. Glenn Beck has warned of the dangers of NWO, has embraced some libertarian ideals, and was fairly critical of the Bush Administration in the later years.

[verstwo2]

no, beck is far bellow BillO... and that's not saying much.

[AtlasShruggery]

Touch of irony here since both Glenn Beck and Lindsey Graham were cheerleaders for Bush's idiotic invasion of Iraq.

[Chevrobert]

Another touch of Irony is that so were many liberals. It's odd how you libs keep forgeting that in your rush to insult Conservatives. I wonder if it is because you guys just need a reason to get your emo fix that you insult others instead of just debating them.

[jakefree25]

The 10 Lost Tribes made it to the new world, Eden is in Missouri, NOT! The whole religion is a crock. Some people want to believe in astrology, some Mormonism, it's great that we have the freedom to believe any sort of silly junk that floats our boat.

Then you go on to say that gay marriage is the same as in excluding people based on their religion. Only a total reactionary could make such a bogus comparison, Gays aren't banning people based on religion or stopping straights from marrying.

[nomayoz]

Yakyakyak69 OMG You have it right. I am a Republican & every time the words party of Lincoln I clench my teeth. He was the !st President to start of this huge over grown centralized government in DC. No wonder BHO is following in his foot print. Both love overgrown, freedom robbing power grasping centralized federal government.

[grassmaster180]

damn straight. Have you read The Real Lincoln?

[Martintfre]

Time for the Republican Party to have a cou-de-Paul

[MyFreedomChannel]

Martintfre - cou-de-Paul .... love it!! May I borrow that?

[Martintfre]

Use Cou-De-Paul..

Absolutely - However if ya make a million from it don't forget me ;)

[MyFreedomChannel]

Hahaha .. sure! I'll remember you when I win my first Oscar! LOL .. just kidding!

[AlamedaCountyGOP]

The "cou-de-Paul" has taken up a strong-hold in Alameda County! There, the local GOP has made a dramatic shift towards the U.S. Constitution, which has also infected neighboring counties. They won't be able to stop this Revolution!

[steve0281]

Message to Lindsey Graham: We Libertarians and like minded Americans are going to do our best to unemploy you from your position in government at the earliest possible date. Stay tuned. This is what happens when the 17th Amendment was passed.

[lizardman77]

You are 100 percent correct.

[NewChristianSoldiers]

I found out the people who control the Republican Party are scared to death of Ron Paul because so many Republicans and even Democrates are now supporting Ron Paul because he's the only one in Washington who speaks the TRUTH and they can't corrupt!

[fullgospelpreacher]

I think Lindsey Graham has serious emotional problems.

[803honda]

definately but so does glenn beck. theyre both weirdos that I would not trust around my children.

[yakyakyak69]

The NeoCon-Fascists like Graham and the Democrat-Socialists like Pelosi & Reid.

Two sides of the SAME Constitution hating, oath ignoring, treasonous, Lincoln loving, central planning Statists coin.

They are truly Republicrats and the very reason why Freedom Loving people don't trust the federal gov't.

Guarding AGAINST their type of scum is the VERY reason we have the Bill of Rights!

[DA5521]

Lincoln loving?

[yakyakyak69]

Yes, Lincoln loving.

Lincoln was a big gov't central planner who was willing to ignore his OATH to the Constitution and kill millions to turn our Constitutional Republic into a Federal Legislative Democracy.

Slavery was dying anyway due to simple economics and machanization.

The two executive orders that made up the Emancipation Proclamation were NOT within the Constitutional powers given to the Executive and were in fact PROHIBITED the 9th & 10th Amendments.

JW Booth was too late!

[grengerx]

Totalitarian minded Lincoln lovers.

[803honda]

well said yakyak!

there all imperialist scum!

[soicuw]

Lol, I love Penn's response:

Glen: So, will you vote for Lindsey Grahm?

Penn: NOO!

[econogate]

Sounds like Lindsey Graham just bought himself a ticket to Arlen Spectator land! Please leave the party you now have permission since you don't care for small government anymore nor for freedom, which seems to be the whole point of government, you know helping the public attain more freedom, maybe he should try to figure out why Ron Paul and his groups have sucked so much hot air out of his head and consign himself to liberal lala land.I love SC but you guys need to put in a real freedom lover.

[redhead761]

econogate, I agree! South Carolina is BEAUTIFUL, but WOW!!! Lindsey Graham, Mark Sanford, Virginia Fox!!!! OUCH!! Who VOTES for these people??? I'm basically a Dem, but I think Ron Paul has a LOT to offer, and if the talk was Ron Paul in 2012 and not Sarah Palin, I'd be doing a LOT of thinking!!!!!

[Profairpotm]

wasn't virginia fox from north carolina? I think this is funny cause Beck has claimed he is a libertarian but he strays from the platform. Beck is one of these clown republicans that is now trying to wrap themselves in the constitution and cry foul after they were shredding it themselves a few months ago. This is why most republicans not named ron paul have no credibility when they talk about the constitution.

[redhead761]

My Bad about Virginia Fox! :) It's about time SOMEBODY paid attention to the Constitution!! Now we can only hope that they MEAN it, and it's not just to get back in & then "business as usual"! I think they have to vote OUT the old school and replace them with forward-thinking people. Too many biased good-ole-boys left for me! They STILL think "trickle-down" works!

[TheLoneH00t]

Just a point of reference here:

Virginia Foxx (two "X"s by the way), is from NORTH Carolina.

[liberty013]

Glenn buddy.. it's lib-ER-tarian, not lib-RA-tarian. We're not a people of or for the zodiac sign Libra. Oh well... he still gets it, for the most part.

[RandyOparowski]

I live in the 1st District of South Carolina. I wish I had the representative of the 14th district of Texas!

[Xervosh23]

Lindsey Graham is the prototypical worthless neo-"conservative," war-mongering, plutocratic croney "capitalist," Globalist, Israel First, police state bastard. He also seems to be a bit of a douche at the personal level. Arguably the least appealing public figure in contemporary American political culture.

You know the neocons are running scared, when they actually have to state that Ron Paul isn't the leader of the Republican Party...not yet, anyway.

[ed2point0]

Don't forget that Graham is pro-IRS, pro-Fed, and pro-slavery. In the end, Graham will lose his senate seat either by the general election, or his primary battle.

[coaltrader07]

@Xervosh23 Nothing wrong with being a capitalist. Agree with all else though.

[Ishpeck]

Lindsey Graham has absolutely no obligation to care about Libertarian principles. Or rather, he WOULDN'T if it weren't for that pesky oath he swore when he entered his office in the Senate to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Sad how imperialism masquerades as republicanism these days.

[ucjb2]

So Lindsey Graham decides who in SC is a republican? He says they have lost GOP voters (down to 21%) and then alienates the real fiscal conservatives and social libertarians. Then goes on to criticize Ron Paul, who raised more money than any other republican presidential candidate.. Way to grow the party... dumbass.

[ucjb2]

Is Lindsey Graham gay? Not that there's anything wrong with it... but if he is why does he vote anti-gay?

[Xervosh23]

I'd be surprised if he's not. In fairness, however, most homosexual males have more masculine characteristics than this neocon pansy.

[feeknocks]

not homosexuals who look like grayed 12 year olds.

[perry911]

Graham is a LOOSER!

[thinkrevolution]

Hell yeah!

I like Glenn Beck... sometimes.
