  • It's weird how Glenn Beck stays down to earth, sounds sensible, and backs up his beliefs. He sounds intelligent. Then I can flip to a video of him screaming about something flagrantly racist. sigh.

  • Burning the American symbolizes hate and animosity toward America. FUCK political correctness, freedom of speech my ass...Flag burning of any kind should be illegal. It's extremely disrespectful to ones country.

  • @Sirafrican you're such a hypocrite.

  • @gunnarwordon Really how so? I'd love for you to justify your opinion.

  • ...he's still a cunt.

  • i think this is probably one thing i agree with him on. I don't like flag burning, but it does fall under free-speech, and that's what makes america so fantastic

  • emm...how does one burn his/her country's fla with respect?

  • @nneky100 If your flag cannot be repaired, you can make a small fire, fold the flag in triangle style and place it in the burning fuel. The American Legion, VFW, AMVETS, military recruiters, Boy Scouts & etc will also take your damaged flag for proper disposal. I don't know much about how they burn other flags, but that is how you "respectfully" burn the American flag.

  • Holy shit! I actually agree with Glenn Beck on something. I may have to go shoot myself in the head now.

  • Banning flag burning? What? So retarded. There will be boarders between pieces of land next... oh wait. Becks an idiot but he got this right.

  • "I collect flags" LMAO!

  • glenn beck may be crazy at times but i agree with him on this one. just because you're doing something disrespectful, or socially unacceptable you as a person should not be violated upon because of it.

  • i think this is the first time that i've agreed with glenn beck

    Ever

  • Everyone says they agree with Glenn Beck on this... wtf did he prove/say?

  • I....I AGREE?! with Beck?

    What the watch did I just fuck?

  • @AndrewDeLong because you're an idiot?

  • @Darusdei Eh-hem. I agreed with Beck because the man actually came to a logical conclusion for once.

  • Comment removed

  • @latinasdoitbetter1 Oh, no. I've watched Beck unedited before. This is just the first time I didn't see him as a raving lunatic ;)

  • i came here from penn and teller

  • Ugh what sappy American jargon. I don't support flag burning, but if a country claims to have freedom of expression it shouldn't be illegal to do so.

  • for once, i agree with glenn 

  • "IM GLENN BECK IM A DUMBSHIT WHO THINKS REVOLUTION IS BAD EVEN THOUGH THATS HOW WE GAINED OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE. I HATE MINORITIES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BEGGING LAZY PEOPLE AND THE PRESIDENT IS SATAN " I BET HE LOVES GETTIN IT IN THE A** FROM THAT ELEPHANT DICK.

  • @IndustrialCOMMIE OMG stop shouting .

  • @2naruto1 Hey come now! There's always the one in a million chance his caps lock might be broken

  • If a country is free, then you should be free to burn the flag if you wish. That having been said, I don't know exactly what purpose burning the flag really accomplishes. If you want to piss off far right fascist types by burning their little corporate symbol, then have at it and enjoy. They only thing I think one might question is whether the flag or the far right freaks are worth the effort and energy expended from your life. The far right isn't worth a peanut out of my shit.

  • @heartfire451 Memorialization assumes guilt by association to a world conscious which is opposite of what we know' context is the key to comprehension' and literacy is knowing what is actually being experienced' repression lacks the audacity in being honest and an honest person would be seen as anti American' but what does that mean?

  • Shit...I can't believe I agree with Glen Beck?!?

  • How could they ban flag burning?

  • I agree with Glen Bleck and as a side note, Katie Couric is an intellectual lightweight bitch who makes even Glen look smart.

  • @MIvarsson99 you said it brother fight onn

  • I Agree with Glen

    

  • No One has the right to not be offended.

  • I didn't think I'd agree with him on ANY point. but, exception to every rule..

  • Its about the only thing Ive saw him being right about. But thats because the Dems are in and hes probably got a flag burning stunt lined up for his pathetic pea brain comedy show!

    The man is what people with every human value that improves them call "vulgar".

  • @outofslumber He was right about legalizing herb too.

  • @ih8yewtoob

    Yes, but being credible on two points doesnt make......well anything. It just makes you right on two points. The other views this guy has, leads me to the only logical conclusion. The man is a stooge. He only recently realised one of his favourite songs wasnt about "America is fucking great". He seemed devastated. Born in the USA I think it was.

    The man is a tool. Hes a puppet. Hes a bad joke. He defended thieves and murderers for 8 years. Its no more complicated than that.

  • @outofslumber 2 out of 1000 isn't so bad. 

  • SO THIS IS THE ALMIGHTY GLEN BECK I,VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT? WHY AM I NOT IMPRESSED,AT ALL? BECAUSE HE SOUNDS LIKE A PANSY?

  • he's right. if you wanna burn a flag you should be able to burn it. this is america not fucking soviet russia.

  • @danie142009 Even though i'm from Mexico..........AND LIVING IN MEXICO.I won't dare to allow people to do this to my Mexican flag.You actually are one of the first Americans whom i had hear speaking some sense.You are correct is their right.

  • God he's such a puke. He pry dont even care. He's pry just saying that 4 popularity. Who gives a fuck. Burn the fuckin flag, its just a piece a cloth.

  • "I collect flags" - confederate ones....

  • To me, buying a flag only to burn it is kind of stupid in itself.

  • I'm not sure why people are so shocked about him saying stuff that makes sense. If People would actually listen to him, instead of automatically ignoring him or just listening to what others say (which 99% of what is said about him isn't true, or is twisted) then they'd see he's right on about most things.

  • @black9897 being someone that actually gets my information regarding beck directly from the man, I would have to fundamentally disagree with you. Rarely do I find myself in agreement with his espousements.

  • @Druvamen What's something you don't' agree with him with?

  • @black9897 Beck is a pawn. None of those words are his own, he's just on repeat.

  • @aolmos1989 Pawn for who? Most of what he says is constitutionally sound. To me he seems like an honest genuine guy looking for the Truth.

  • I agreed with Glen Beck today. I feel dirty.

  • How much couric is your shit?

  • The fucking moron is right.

  • This is one of the smartest things Glenn Beck has said. I am ot a very big fan of Gle Beck but agree with this.

  • damn right! go glenn!

  • Damn it, Glenn.

    I never thought I would agree with him.

  • But its ok for illegal latinos to burn an American flag

  • Flag burning is Free Speech

    (A)

  • what is the relation between you americans and your flag????

  • @akbar1515

    Oh, I don't know, it symbolizes our country. Just like your flag symbolizes yours.

  • glen beck is a flag worshipper.

  • Hell just froze over...

  • never thought i'd ever agree with beck ...

  • Katie Whore-ick and Glenn Peckerhead, both media frauds!

  • RIP Glenn

  • for who all knows Glenn Bleck could be Gay

  • Oh my gosh. Glenn, you said something that actually makes sense! Not only that, but you OPPOSED the general conservative point-of-view! My respect for you has gone up, A LOT!

  • I am all for flag burning. As long as i can wrap Couric up in it 1st. If you hate this country so much as to burn the flag... MOVE. We that love this country don't want you here anyway

  • @MarkThomasMusic America sucks now you moron! We need to restore Old America and we start by wiping out the illuminati!

  • @cheapcape Clearly YOU are the moron if you can't express your thoughts without becoming a child and going straight to the name calling. As for you thinking America sucks, I'm all for wrapping you up in the same burning flag as Couric.

  • Blind patriotism and nationalism is stupid. Banning flag burning just makes it even more pathetic. Burning a flag might be seen as symbolism and thus banning it kind of limits freedom of speach, doesn't it?

  • What did Glenn Beck ever "fight" for? Another self-annointed right wing chickenhawk pseudo-"patriot"-- this one with no higher education- opining upon matters of constitutional law.

    Thanks...but the opinion of Sen. Daniel Inoyhe (Medal of Honor winner) trumps that of the rodeo clown- at least on this topic.

  • @BenAliGtor

    Once again the uninformed can't get things right. Sen. Inoyhe did not WIN the Medal of Honor. He was awarded it for actions above and beyond the call of duty. To say he won it is like saying war is a carnival game and he just was able to be better than the huckster running the game.

    No one has ever WON the Medal of Honor. Get it right.

  • @Harb40 On this occasion, I will stand corrected. What the Senator faced in Italy was no game.

    "No one has ever WON the Medal of Honor?" Not quite true: read the stories behind some of the awards made earlier in history, particularly Thomas Custer (brother of George Armstrong) as one example: on more than one occasion, it had more to do with politics than valantry.

  • Holy shit. Glenn Beck actually had a stroke of a philosophically awakened view. That is by far the most intelligent thing I've heard him say, and in all honestly one of the more intelligent things ive ever heard. not in the top 100, but top 1000. maybe. now excuse me while i puke.

  • @Spartan09786 Quick alert the press. Actually what he meant to say was it is okay when white people burn the American flag everyone else is a un-American.

  • I say anybody that burns an American Flag in America should be put into the military and let them fight for it and then they have the right to burn it but untill you do you are an asshole if you do.

  • Flag burning is so stupid to make big deal about. Oh wow im so offended! WHO CARES, ummmmmm..... its a flag, so what terrorists? you burned a piece of fabric. Big deal, because that totally ruins my life. (sarcasm)

  • as far as I'm concerned, a flag is just a coloured cloth, burn away

    if they want to burn a cloth, let them burn it, who seriously gives a fuck

  • @TheInternetCommentor I totally agree. Its just a piece of fabric

  • It's only okay to burn an AMERICAN flag. Burning any other, would be racist.

  • very ironic considering people burn flags because of people like glenn beck. if burning our flag got him removed from position of "power", where he spews false information to the american public, i would go out right now and burn 20 flags. at least

  • @houseofthedevil

    What false information? A different opinion is false these days? Hah...

  • @houseofthedevil Those who burn the American flag only loath men like him because he tells it like it is. We are at war with radicals and there is no sugar coating it. If you are an American you should be ashamed to say you would burn our flag which has had so much blood spilt for it to continue to fly above this great nation. He uses historical facts to back up what he says. Where is your proof other than your opinion???

  • OH SHIT!

    I actually agree with that little gerbil on this!

  • it represents freedom to do what you want but you can't do what you want --- yeah, he collects flags with swastikas on them

  • Does anyone SERIOUSLY listen to this moron? I mean I could see right through him miles away..

  • If it's a symbolic gesture you want, don't burn the flag; wash it.

  • Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi Glenn Beck=Neo-Nazi

  • @ThePixer7

    No i am a neo nazi and Beck is a Jewish shill. May death visit him soon.

  • @TaqiyyaExposer ...Beck is a Mormon, not a Jew.

  • @TaqiyyaExposer your no better than him. Both ignorant pukes. Burn the flag!

  • we europeans still trust in the usa....a little. because you have elected obama, for us it was like "hell yeah, they are a country of freedom"

    but your freaking tea party-palin-glennbeck-thing disturbes us again.....dont make us loose our last hope in a free and democratic america. but u will if you follow this racist, ignorant and ultra-christian son of a...........

  • @MrBiffi Whatever man !

  • @MrBiffi

    no we dont

  • @MrBiffi Us Catholics still trust in Europe... a little. Because you have given us a great Polish Pope, and now a German one. For us it was like "Heck yeah, they are a continent of Godliness". But your freaking socialist, anti-religious, one world government, secular, muslim tolerating, sinful ways disappoints us again. Dont make us loose our last hope in what was left of a Christian Europe. But you will, if you follow your ungodly and anti-religious U.N. leadership.

  • @MrBiffi I want to move to europe. Can I live with you?

  • @MrBiffi

    Obamas a fraud and Europes going to hell just watch. Muslims will take over and in 50 year be stoning white woman to death in public. Dont say i didnt warn your dumbass

  • @T1memaster

    I honestly comments like yours, primarily because they're funny as hell, but also because you represent a solid 1% of the country, so it doesn't even matter anyway.

    I heard Obama's planning on shifting the tectonic plates to pass healthcare reform. Lmfao. Or was that not on FOX news?

  • @Mewstor151

    and yet you cant dispute what i say factually.

  • @T1memaster

    If you're telling me that muslims stoning white people in this country is a fact, you're telling me you have some way to prove it to me. Can you do that? If not, you aren't talking about facts, and I have nothing to dispute but your crazy ass FOX conspiracies.

  • @Mewstor151

    Thats not what i said dipshit. I said in 50 years, and in Europe not the U.S. It will take longer for muslims to gain control of U.S society.

    As they say, Rome fell from within.

  • @T1memaster

    Where are you getting 50 years from? And what, you're saying they're going to attack both Europe and the U.S... how? Bomb us? Nuke us? Gain political power?

    Instead of getting angry with me, you should focus on what you're actually trying to say. I don't care if you call me every name in the book; if you can't defend your comment, then you have no factual basis for making it. Calling me a dipshit is a waste of your time, as I really don't care.

  • @Mewstor151

    None of the above. Instead they are infiltrating OUR SOCIETIES, out breeding us, promoting their religion of hate while demonizing any of those that oppose it . If they are willing to kill over someone drawing a cartoon of Muhammad what makes you think they want to "get along peacefully" in western culture.

    Yes i am angry because the average person in Europe or U.S. is worried about being "politically correct" and wont face the harsh reality.

  • @T1memaster

    See now I can agree with most of that. I don't understand why you didn't just come out with this comment in the first place, instead of bringing Obama into a growing cultural trend in the Middle East (???).

    However even if the Muslim population was to increase dramatically that they're culture becomes "hegemonic" in certain areas of Europe, I think they could regulate that and secure themselves.

  • @T1memaster Damn right man I agree with you 100% in what you said. We need to look at the grim and harsh reality of it all. They hate us because there radical clerics tell them to and say there Coran tells them to. It sounds more like a cult to me than a Religion. Christianity= Love and passion. Islam= Hate and persecution of other faiths.

  • @donepigeon beware the gross generalization of "christianity=love and passion. Islam=hate and persecution of other faiths"...ummm.... the Spanish Inquisition, witch burning, those crazy fuckers in Kansas that protest gays in the military at soldier's funerals, abortion clinic bombers, the current pedophile-enabling pope. Plenty of horrors committed in the name of christianity as well, and plenty of humanitarian accolades for both religions.The problem is fundamentalism.Of any kind. any religion.

  • @dremarques I know what the Catholic church did. And I know of the Crusades. There are radicals in everything. I was going on the basis that Christians who follow the Bible and those who follow the Koran. You cannot act like everyone follows the radical version of there faith. That goes for everyone.

  • @T1memaster They will never take over America... The people will fight that shit from within long before they get close to that shit. They are just Terrorists and Radicals with no army or navy to use to invade us. And lets just say that Iran and any other country willing to help them would not stand a chance against us if we used all of our military might.

  • I don't like everything he says, but this is dead on. For anyone who wants to see it said better than anyone, read what Justice William J. Brennen wrote in his opinion for Texas v. Johnson (I think it was 1984).

  • i think that may be the first time i've agreed with beck on anything. he's still a fascist asshole.

  • Ugh... I can't believe I'm saying this.... Glenn Beck is right. Blech ... well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Now, I need to wash my mouth out with soap, and if the words "Glenn Beck is right" ever slip from my lips again, I just may go into a state of madness the likes of which no man has seen.

  • @thecoloradanempire agreed.

  • @thecoloradanempire why do you hate him so much? sorry i dont listen to talk radio,etc, much.

  • @jimisajewboy Its no problem. I don't quite hate him, I just find him really annoying. He has a lot of very strong political views I don't agree with, he uses the idea of " If someone agrees with an Idea, they agree with all the ideas that relate to it and any negative consequences possible from it." He also makes outrageous claims, and has exaggerated facts to make them more threatening. He also has a lot of... fervent followers who are really rude on the internet. I hope this clears things up.

  • @thecoloradanempire

    Hopefully somebody burns you.

  • @TaqiyyaExposer Ouch, that hurts. And doesn't make much sense.

  • @thecoloradanempire I know me too. bleh

  • @thecoloradanempire shut up racist

    u just hate beck cuz he white

  • @hardstyle905 Um... No. I'm white. I don't hate Glenn Beck. I just don't like him. I admit,I am a little overzealous about him, but I am in no way a racist, and to accuse me as one with out any evidence makes you look like a blasted fool. 

  • @thecoloradanempire have to admit I agree with him on this one too.

  • @thecoloradanempire

    Oh fuck you....

    You and your condescending/smug praises. Why don't you go watch Olberwoman on current. You know, because he's so much more 'spot-on' all the time...according to you.....

  • @Illumirage Uh, I never mentioned Olberwoman (Whoever that is.), or anyone else. Most, if not all, political commentators and so-called journalists are wrong and misleading about stuff. I just dislike Glenn Beck more than them because I have to hear about him all the freaking time from some of my friends and family. If they watched, say, Keith Olberman all the time, I'd probably dislike Keith Olberman a lot.

  • @thecoloradanempire

    Olberwoman, Kieth Olbermann. Only probably the most vile, shameless, disgusting, despicable cog of the leftist propaganda machine there is out there. Beck is a little extreme, and I tire of his 'gloom and doom' predictions all the time, but he's a saint when compared to scumbags like Olbermann. Search him if you still don't know who I'm talking about.

    Bottom line, is I get sick of people making O'Reilly out to be SATAN when there are much worse out there. MUCH. WORSE.

  • @Illumirage :D

  • @thecoloradanempire He's... he's right? Don't you mean...

    Right wing extremist?

    No, no, no, no, you can't mean that... is right as in he's... correct...... O_O

  • well, he is right winged to the point of extremism, and 99% of the time he is wrong, but in this case, he is correct. Flag burning should not be banned. Like I said, agreeing with Glenn Beck is something I tend to avoid whenever possible.

  • @thecoloradanempire You should listen to him more often, just saying;)

  • @thecoloradanempire perfect response to this video. 

  • Glen Beck is a retard, but in this case, he is 100 percent correct.

  • for all I care, burn a flag. but don't complain if you get your ass kicked... bitch!

  • @RobinGoesUTube Well, I won't burn a flag, but anyone who "kicks someone's ass" because they saw someone else burn a flag shouldn't complain if they get their ass thrown straight in jail... bitch!

  • @RobinGoesUTube no I'm just saying

  • Wow Glen Beck is a true American patriot. Not.

  • The only time I have ever agreed with Glenn Beck.

  • DAMN YOU WHITE CRACKER ASSES. I don't want no "star spangled banner' around ME.

  • The flag represents freedom. If we cannot burn it, then it's as if it doesn't exist or possess any meaning. 

  • @Mewstor151 WHAT? So a symbol can only have one meaning. This is a terrible argument. You and your 10 supporters should think about what that flag might represent to other people as well. Especially after you've seriously tried to understand the perspectives of those who are critical of US policies.

  • @thejuryissleepless

    You didn't tell me what your argument is, so this comment is totally irrelevant to me. Are you telling me that the flag does NOT represent freedom? Also, nowhere in my response did I say any flag or any symbol has only one meaning. Please don't misrepresent my ideas.

  • @Mewstor151 Yea i accidently misread your comment. sorry. I thought I replied to myself and cleared that up, but it looks like there was a glitch in the post. I was just pissed off generally at people who are ultra-nationalists and protect the flag with their life. I basically thought you said the flag represents freedom we cannot burn it, (if we do) its as if it doesnt exist or possess any meaning. So I got mad.. for no reason! well Glen Beck was doing something, so that's something i guess!

  • @Mewstor151 As it is written: you are only supposed to burn the flag if it has sustained enough damage and or has rotted or is torn. You are supposed to dig a hole then place the flag in it and then burn it and finally berried in the said hole. Its wrong moraly to burn your own flag if you are indeed an American. I hate how people try to abuse the sense of freedom. We are free but we are also held to do the right thing and stand against the wrong. Come on and be a patriot!

  • @donepigeon

    When people burn flags as Americans, they're proclaiming that some aspect of their freedoms as a citizen are being violated in some way. It's morally wrong to deny someone the freedom to burn a flag. If they don't have the freedom to burn it, then why bother waving it around? Freedom > A piece of cloth.

  • @Mewstor151 People like you are so ignorant its not even worth my time to argue a valid point. If all you see is a piece of cloth when you look at our flag then you know nothing about what it stands for.

  • @donepigeon

    Jesus fucking Christ, you clearly cannot interpret the English language. I said it represents freedom (or do you disagree with that?). I already discussed the fact that it's far more meaningful than the material it's made of with yet another american pinhead on youtube, specifically saying "Freedom > Piece of cloth". I'm guessing you conveniently skipped the entire post and just read the last three words to find a cheap insult.

    You people are real tough when you're behind a screen

  • @donepigeon I know what it stands for. But Who cares if it somebody burns it? That doesnt change what it stands for, it just means somebody set some colored fabric on fire. Big deal

  • Libertarian 3 years ago-wants goverment to have a small part in personal lives and supported individaul liberties like gay marriage, prochoice, and a smaller military.

    Libertarian now- a republican that watches glenn beck.

  • 'never sought I'd see the day. I agree with Glenn Beck. (Must be nearing the end of days)

  • if they outlawed flag burning, i'd make a flag-like forgery identical to the flag except with 49 stars and/or 12 stripes. and then i'd burn it.

  • What the fuck? I actually agree with Glenn Beck? What is this world coming to?!

  • glenn beck is a scumbag

  • :20 ...to burn a flag.

  • if a fat girl falls in the forrest do all the trees laugh?

  • He makes a relatively logical statement here about flags, yet he antagonizes Obama for not wearing Flag pins. If the flag should be interpreted symbolically, not literally, why the double standard Glenn?

  • Well. Satan is skating to work, pigs are reaching mach 2 in restricted flight zones, and I'm pretty sure I just became the uncle to three beautiful monkey babies. Why? Because I 100% agree with Glen Beck in this instance. God in heaven above help me, but I really do agree!

  • Flag burning is the #435 on the list of constitutional rights we need to be worrying about.

  • I fly my Communist flag over a burning american flag all the time.

  • This may be the only sensible position Glenn Beck has ever taken!

  • what if you owned a flag shop and it set on fire? would glen cry?

  • @TrailerTank you misdunderstood Dumbass

    he said hes NOT for a law against Flag Burning.

  • @BreezyBrisbane

    Yeah, I misunderstood, too... I now see why Sarah Palin was confused at how Katie Couric asks questions, lol.

  • Comment removed

  • @mussman717word But you think its okay for Glenn to have his own TV show (15 million viewers each night) and says what he says on the raido? You do understand he is defending the first amendment? If you are worried about your first ammendment you better look up Mark Lloyd Obama's communications czar and see what he thinks about Venezuela's free speech.
