Glenn Becks The Christmas Sweater - A Return to Redemption

[triplea4]

This man is THE most annoying person on the planet!!!!

[frsbdg]

I wonder if this shmuck practices his eyebrow gymnastics in front of a mirror...

[A1BROS]

Glenn Beck is a real deep guy. I respect that.

[ll3l3l3ll]

there is something deeply wrong with glenn...

[abeebus1]

GB is a whore

[GlerkyDestiny]

i loved the christmas sweater amazing story!

[igotalottastuff]

I find it funny people think Beck is actually showing true emotions. It's called acting people. For more proof, here's what he did to prepare his rant for the 9/12 project.

And not everyone can make it Glenn. Tell me what opportunity one has, if he/she was born into poverty? The educational system alone is bad, and the person would have to get a minimum wage just as soon as he/she is allowed to support the family. It's a loop where only a few break free.

[crazyassailant]

Hey, nice proof, you completely unbiased and open minded individual. Disregard that it was a PHOTO SHOOT, with a satirical slant, not preparation for any 9/12 event. But hey, you're right, so what does it matter if you have to lie to convince others of your absolute rightness? Right?

[igotalottastuff]

I replied to the other guy. I realize my comment was made in haste. I'm just tired of Glenn Beck's fearmongering.

(awaits crazyassailant's response, to defend Beck)

[PizzaGod]

LOL, you are so funny.

That was a photo shoot, not preparing for TV.

You flat out are wrong and are spreading untrue rumors.

Oh, and on not making it based on how someone was born, that is also a flat out lie. Sure, it may be harder for them, but it is not impossible. I am an employer and I see it all the time, the employee's who want to succeed usually leave to work at better jobs, those that don't usually get fired.

[igotalottastuff]

Yes I realize that it was a photo shoot, and that was a poor way to get my point through. But if you honestly think Beck just got choked up when talking about The Christmas Sweater, and Fox was just thinking "Wow I can't believe Beck just showed true emotions when we asked him to talk about the Christmas Sweater, w/ a teleprompter" then you're out of your mind. And I admit that was a poor way example.

And it doesn't matter if you're an employer, do you work in the inner-cities? That's the

[igotalottastuff]

difference. I really don't want to go into details (unless this debate goes on), so I have to ask.

What do you mean? You own a Pizzeria and live in Texas. There's no poverty, and your being very vague by saying they leave for better jobs. If they leave for better jobs, that probably means the person has an education in the first place, and was not born into a shithole to begin with.

[PizzaGod]

What, you think everyone I hire has an education? You would not believe some of the people I have hired over the years. Yes, even I have a hard time believing an adult can't read, but I have come across several over the years.

1st, you have to want to succeed, if you don't want to, you never will. Yes, I fully believe we make our own destines. I have seen it over and over.

[FluffyPurpleKitty]

I remember the woman at 3:40 ... she have me goosebumps. What talent!

[FluffyPurpleKitty]

*Gave me goosebumps. C:

GO GLENN BECK!!

[donttelluseenme]

Yes his mom really did do that.

[DixonRants]

Does anyone see any trace amounts of Vicks Vapor Rub?

[toastertown6]

I'm kinda sure it's not fake because anyone would cry when talking about there mom's suicide

[xinawarriorprincess]

my mom and i were on a trip to california from oregon for my sister's wedding...and before we left my mom borrowed the book on cd from the local library and i put it on my computer and my iPod and we listend to it the whole way down...trying not to cry because it was so touching and i lost my father 6yrs ago this christmas to lukemia and it just almost made me bawl. i loved the book. we laughed we cried. very moving.

[thecursedland]

Honesty is the mind killer. Hmmmm.

[mrferraro]

Its an awesome book. Love or hate the guy its a book everybody can enjoy.

[Halo11x3]

I read part of the book a while back, that guy had a REALLY rough childhood.

[L72427]

You are truly clueless!!!

[BolterBolter]

"Man, that's a tongue-twister for the fingers"

So is your mom.

[p00lman]

I should've seen that coming. Nicely executed, though.

[N37BU6]

Lol... you mean playing video and audio clips of commies in the White House?

You're in denial, comrade.

[p00lman]

Or using the words "communist," "fascist," etc. where they don't apply.

[N37BU6]

Wade Rathke is a communist. Van Jones is a communist. Anita Dunn says Mao is her favorite historical figure.

As for fascism, you obviously have no idea what it means. I recall Keith Olbermann calling Bush a fascist. Care to tell me why? Let's see if you can figure out how that same scenario could apply to Obama.

You fit the leftist template so perfectly by going straight for the ratings. I have news for you: People pull in the ratings. Ratings don't pull in the people.

[p00lman]

I don't care what Olbermann called Bush. Beck clearly has no idea what fascism is. He's made direct comparisons to Nazi Germany, which is just pure insanity. Does Obama want to exterminate anyone? Really?

Your gibberish about ratings is simply that. What you said makes no sense.

Beck is trying to appeal to the most conservative audience possible by saying the most controversial things he can. He's just a male Ann Coulter, except that she actually has testicles.

[Rajaat99]

Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state. Fascist governments forbid and suppress openness and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.

How is Obama not a fascist?

[p00lman]

Advocating cooperation and bipartisanship is fascist?

Really?

Is that really what you're saying?

[Taiyama2]

I can't count how many times Glenn has said that "No, I'm not saying Obama wants to kill anyone" or "I'm not saying Bush wanted to kill anyone". Yet you're jumping straight to that. War crimes do not a fascist make, my friend. He's comparing more to indirect government control of big business, repression of opposing ideas, etc. He's just asking questions, though, really. Like he's said many times, he wants to be wrong. So explain how he's wrong, please. I don't want him to be right either.

[p00lman]

No, he's making baseless accusations. If he hopes he's wrong, then he has no proof that he's right.

I could say, Glenn Beck is a vampire, but I hope I'm wrong. Well, what the hell do I get out of such a statement, besides throwing the label out there for other people to use? Every time Beck makes a false accusation, he makes it more true by spreading it to his viewers.

[Taiyama2]

I don't see how hoping you're wrong makes you less right, I'm afraid.

You may think of them as false accusations, but it seems to me and to many people that they are, in fact, backed up by facts. For example, I read his recent book and all of his arguments appear to me to be reasonable. We can argue if they're not right and that's what Beck wants, really: honest questioning, a debate about ideas. I think we can agree on that much even if you disagree with Beck's opinion, right?

[p00lman]

Debating for the sake of debate is useless of it's a dishonest debate.

[ll3l3l3ll]

you dont trust government, but you trust neilsen ratings and tv? what about murdochs wife?

[Taiyama2]

If you really think that, you obviously haven't watched his show much.

[p00lman]

Take off the blinders. The guy is ratings whore who will say anything to get a larger audience.

[Taiyama2]

The blinders are off, my friend, I assure you. They used to be on, though. Bush's incompetence and corruption cured me of my republican partisanship.

Again, I'm saying that you obviously haven't watched the show as much as we fans have--understandable considering you disagree--but let me set the record straight: he's not a rating's whore, he sincerely loves his country. Even if you disagree, you must respect that. 

Also: thrice-damned youtube post limits.

[p00lman]

No, I watched his show for four months straight, I know the content. It's not like I'll get brainwashed if I continue to watch it.

Can't you accept the fact that I disagree?

[Taiyama2]

Ah, I see. Well, I can't see how you came to such a nasty conclusion about the man.

But of course I can accept the fact that you disagree. I'm just trying to have a healthy debate on the ideas here. If I come across as mean in any way, I assure you I did not mean it--I respect you even though you hold a different opinion, I'd just wish you wouldn't defame a person who's merely speaking his mind, even if you disagree with him.

[p00lman]

It seems to me that you should hold Beck to that same standard.

[N37BU6]

Move to Europe.

[p00lman]

I've already moved, but I'm still American and I still vote, so I have a say in the welfare of my country.

[MuseOn94]

Glenn is such an honest, truthful, and genuine guy. He stands up for what he believes in and puts his whole heart in it.

you have my support :D

[bowenit]

Eternally frustrated, again the show dates are while I'm in college classes. Why not make another video as was done for "Unelectable"
