Glenn Beck social justice & attacks against him 03-12-2010

[marleyhund777]

I feel sorry for people who truly believe Glenn Beck. What a paranoid fearful world they must live in.

[Trueskorn]

He is a paranoid, angry and dickish person who need mental help.

[benpetrone5]

Glenn Beck licks soggy dog-shit in a gorilla litter box. -that little scumbag.

[nalani005]

Every time I hear this guy speak I honestly say, "What the Fuck, Holy Shit". This guy thinks he is really important. What a joke. Once again "Holy Shit"

[Seraphim727]

I've yet to see him give gold to the masses.

[Eagle13Eric]

@Seraphim727 ... you said, "I've yet to see him give gold to the masses."

Do you think he should (give gold to the masses)?

Personally speaking, I could care less about Glenn Beck's money... If he earned it fair and square, then i say, "more power to you Glenn".

I think I'd be much happier if the govt. would go through "tax" rehab and stop using the citizens and illegals to get their "fix".

[Seraphim727]

@Eagle13Eric I think giving gold to the masses would improve his "credibility", because it would prove that some "individuals" CAN be trusted to be charitable, but humans are untrustworthy ,backwards, and greedy, reason why communism will NEVER work in real life. Now to your next idea, I think all the social services of the US could not be sustained without taxes. And obviously since individuals can't be trusted to care for their old and sick parents. The Corrupt US Gov. must care for them.

[Eagle13Eric]

@Seraphim727 Personally speaking, I started tuning in to Beck, about 7 years ago and I've never observed any "red flags" to doubt his "credibility."

I agree... "communism will NEVER work in real life". So why not go back to the basics and allow the churches and other non-govt. private charity organizations handle the "welfare" aspect of our society. At least with them doing it, we have a choice to contribute or not if we discover corruption. taxes for such things, don't give me that option.

[Lochee1000]

SERAPH, you're right....Communism, Socialism, Nazi-ism, won't ever work in the U.S. That's because we would need a brute dictator who literally KILLS thousands of American citizens a day, buys himself a military with the billions he's emassed, controls and manipulates other Communist/Socialist countries, devise a one race country, he would in a sense, must control every dime, car, house of every American. Enough with calling Obama a Socialist. He doesn't have the ability to pull it off.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@Lochee1000 Obama is a socialtist whether you want to believe it or not. They're pulling it off slowly but surely with health care when they rammed that down our throats when we did not want it.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps There's a difference between socialism and social liberalism. Perhaps you should do some research, and learn what these differences are? Maybe then you will stop incorrectly labeling people as socialists. I hope you do, there's nothing wrong with an open mind eager to learn more. Or keep being ignorant and listening to Glenn Beck, your choice.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 I'm not going to split hairs with you or anyone else. I served this country, fought in 4 wars, was shot twice, and damn sure won't listen to some snot nose kid who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. I know what socialism is whether it be liberalism, socialism, or liberal socialism. They all take your rights away and the government makes your decisions for you. So before you start preaching why don't you pull your head out of your ass and quit drinking the kool-aid.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps I don't know why you feel the need to be so hostile. It really is unnecessary. I'm sorry, but the president isn't a socialist, and it's stupid for you to say that. You tell me to pull my head out of my ass and stop drinking the kool-aid? Who do you think is drinking the kool-aid here? How about the person who incorrectly thinks that the president is a socialist because the media has been drilling it in his head. You probably think he's muslim too.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 I'm not being hostile. It really pisses me off that someone with such little life experience thinks he knows about what is and isn't. You, young one, have a lot to learn about life. I've heard the left's bullshit for too long. It's high time people fight back and put crooks like this current administration out on the streets and off of my income, my health care, and anything else they think they need to tell me what to do. I think I'm better qualified to make my own decisions.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps It's funny how people like you always bring up age. Just because I'm younger than you, doesn't mean that you're right. I probably know 3 times as much about U.S history and the economy than you, but because I'm younger somehow that makes me not right. You're nothing but a right wing cook. You put all of your loyalties in one party, and parrot talking points from rush limbaugh and glen beck because you can't think for yourself. It's pathetic. Look at the facts, not Fox news.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 It's really funny how you change the subject when you don't have one ounce of fact or truth to back your point up. Before Obama we had Fannie and Freddie run by the government and it has been nothing but a failure. Your assumptions are wrong in all aspects because your ignorance of youth shows through loud and clear. I know you don't know more about US history because you are spewing that garbage they've put in your head. Grow up, get better educated.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps Me get better educated? GO LOOK AT WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THE NATIONS DEBT IS FROM. Why don't you actually state some facts, rather than claim I'm ignorant because I'm younger than you. What garbage, I didn't even mention anything about history except the fact that you don't know shit about it. Your history teacher is what beck puts on his blackboard, which is laughable. Read a book you retard

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 Nothing like listening to a chicken neck when it goes.............snappppppp.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

Respond to this video... You're wrong about loyalties again your assumptions has blinded you by putting everyone who doesn't believe in your left wing bullshit into the right wing category. Obviously you didn't learn grammar too well in school because there is no such thing as a right wing cook. If it was kook you were trying to bring across then you are sadly misguided because your kind is the only kind who are trying to destroy American instead of defending her.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

Respond to this video... Again, you just regurgitate what your leftist book says to say about anyone who doesn't believe your bullshit. Come on, be original and quit reading from your liberal playbook. The only pathetic ones here will be when your sorry asses are out in November. All your lying media outlets are your news like ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC. So from a proud American to a snot nosed punk..................keep your head in the sand and keep living your Utopian dream. LOL

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps I told you that i wasn't a liberal, yet you continue to infer that I am. All of "my" news outlets? I don't even watch any of those channels. Why don't you go be a pissed off redneck at a tea party rally or something, cause I'm gettin bored of you.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 I could care less what religion he is. Oh yeah, you probably got that from your liberal media you've been brain washed with. Religion on your side means nothing so don't bring it up. Robbing the people and lying to them to serve their own interest is a crime in itself. You will wake up one of these days when you open your eyes and see what these jackasses are really doing to us. Both the republicans and democrats are in this together but the left is doing it in plain sight.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps Yeah because there are no news outlets, magazines, or newspapers that are conservative run. I'm neither a democrat or republican, i agree with dems on some things and GOP on others. I'm tired of hearing conservatives bitch about the "liberal media" Haven't you heard of fox news, weekly standard, washington times, rush limbaugh, and MANY others? I wish people would stop putting all their loyalties in one party and look at the facts, rather than what the party wants.

[BlackbirdSpecOps]

@moreoreos123 This president is the worst in history right behind that other idiot Carter. You wouldn't remember what Carter did to us but if 21% inflation is any consolation then you'd be mad too. All talk, promises, and no action. All this administration does is throw our hard earned money at social programs that are proven to not work. My kids and my grand kids will have to pay this down the rest of their lives. Don't you even remotely have a clue as to what is going on? Obviously not.

[moreoreos123]

@BlackbirdSpecOps The worst president in history?! You're an idiot. Maybe you should learn some more about U.S history before you start saying idiotic things like that. President Bush is the reason why we are in this mess. His tax cuts are the biggest piece of our structural debt, and you are blaming Obama? He came into the presidency with the economy in shambles, and you act like he caused all of this. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about, so I'm not gonna keep arguing with you.

[MrJohn2010]

@moreoreos123 Could you explain to me how cutting taxation causes an economic reccession? Im simply curious as to the thought proccess.

[smilingheathen]

BTW ....bECK your an asshole

[WakeTheFlockUp]

You are so twisted that your words don't need any twisting, Beck...

How does Hope mean, 'tell the truth'? YOU'RE a word twisting twit. Your posters make me sick.

[Superhumanattack]

What a cunt and your base is one to.

[sophiemarie49]

Glenn is so full of it. He says crazy stuff, equates socialism with evil and then wonders why people speak against him.

And how the heck does Hope mean 'tell the truth'?

As far as expecting charity to really affect the problems of the poor, that is unrealistic.

Poverty means not being able to afford the necessities of health: food, shelter and medical care, that's 17% of us, too many for charity to cover. That's 51 million people.

[geobowl12]

Social Justice Chrisitan = Communists!! Die fucking scum. I will rape them and spew shit on them.

[dorkydunsky]

lol

[Henslbr0]

I'm always uneasy when we interpret scripture through the lens of our "forefathers" and the American Flag... It's odd but it seems like sometimes it might be an idol.

[StratGuy73]

HAHAHA ecosmart, your screen name is ecosmart!!! Gee let me guess what your political ideology is. I think that America has had quite enough of your type of view adjusting. Your progressive revisionist history may work on some but there is a new wave of Americans that are educating themselves and we are starting to see through the lies now.

[KidOmniMan]

@AMMKILLER You can, but you will be more likely to be misinformed, under-informed or just plain wrong when it comes to complex subjects compared to someone who has a formal education, there are exceptions but Beck isn't one of them.

I believe I have heard him that History books are wrong or just won't tell you things that he seems to know from out of thin air, not to mention the fact that most of the shit that comes out of his mouth is historically wrong or a misuse of certain terms.

[AMMKILLER]

@KidOmniMan he did go to college when he was 30 but he didnt go to get a degree he went there to find some answers but couldn't afford it any more so he took only semester

[KidOmniMan]

@AMMKILLER Sounds like the kind of explanation someone who failed out of college their first semester would say. He may have went looking for answers but when he found them he left to go back to his Ayn Randian fantasy world. The man is a talented and passionate speaker but he misrepresents, misinforms and misleads in a time of discontent, like Hitler, fortunately the US isn't in nearly as desperate of a situation as Germany before WW2.

[hitmanhart670]

This guy is unbelievably insane! The fact that he has such a large audience is very troubling. There's people that literally know nothing and think theyr'e getting an education from this guy

[AMMKILLER]

@hitmanhart670 How is this guy insane is because is it because he doesn't have the same views you do?

[jamchew1982]

you're right, he is honest. HONESTLY INSANE

[surfer53]

I love these people who prove Glenn's point by making it clear they disagree with him politically and then proceed to call for him to be shut up by force or violence. I disagree with him on some things - but you can hardly call yourself compassionate by not dealing with the issues and resorting to personal attacks and calling for censorship.

[JetpackNinjaDinosaur]

Its cute when people like Glenn Beck try to make themselves out to be a victim. What fucking slime, i hope he gets mugged and his skin violently removed without his permission.

[walkerman2503]

Does Glenn expect to be crucified? Glenn , would you be resurrected?

[1929spectre]

so mr beck should the churches be tax exempt ? everyone has to tighten there belts (though to late now even if ) the same what do you call them ,sociopaths,that worked without any thought of the damage they would do to society and the world ,have worked with the churches to make huge fortunes ,now with child abuse cases on the rise ,the churches are trying to hide there wealth ,so should they pay ?

[1929spectre]

i found out the information below quit easy ? why were your researchers not able to ? so mr beck should religious corporations including the one you attend be tax exempt ?if everyone "everyone " now have to except the new reality ,and tighten our belts what about religions who run and have huge financial holdings not also follow this same course ????

[dougmanjones]

Is anyone really surprised that Glenn Beck said something stupid, paranoid and outrageous? This is news?

And today's headline: Bears shit in the woods!

[elwoodey]

Glenn, nobody twists your words, they are all twisted up when they leave your mouth. I'll have to admit though, after you make these comments, it sure is amusing to watch you try and rationalize your own irrational thoughts. And look you've got a couple of lackeys there to help you out.

[myeyepie]

****

PERSONALLY helping the poor and downtrodden by willingly changing your heart and giving freely of your substance IS CHRISTIAN.

Using your government to forcibly TAKE from a POLITICAL minority(the rich) at the point of a gun in order to skim some off the top for yourself and then give to the POLITICAL MAJORITY(the poor) in order to secure power and entrench corruption based on thievery and making a permanent dependent class, is NOT CHRISTIAN its Marxist, communist, AKA SOCIAL JUSTICE

*****

[TheEclectic]

You just said - the majority making laws to help themselves is marxist? I believe that's democracy.

[TheEclectic]

@myeyepie You still didn't answer the stupidity of your original statement. What is your definition of "the rich?" People who make over 100k, 500k, 1000k? Then the inane "at the point of a gun" charge is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. The great thing about having wealth is you can use your wealth to get the uneducated bumpkin to believe just about anything by throwing a scary word like communism around. Look up the word 'Marxism' & then come back when you're a little less ignorant.

[myeyepie]

@TheEclectic We arent in a democracy. We are in a representative republic because the founders HATED democracies and looked at them as the tyrannical rule of teh majority. MArxists love to use the word democracy because they can convince the stupid lazy and greedy masses that if they hand their power over tot he enlightened few they will rule over them benevolently by taking from the rich and giving to the poor. This kind of thinking gets you Corruption and Extreme poverty.

[Eagle13Eric]

@myeyepie i totally agree with this. thanks for setting the record straight. :)

[Eagle13Eric]

@myeyepie you are totally 100 percent correct about this. Unfortunately, we are dealing with individuals that were probably primarily indoctrinated by the US tax paid public educational system that has been under the control of the atheists and communists for far too many years in our once greater Nation :)

[HopsBrewing]

@myeyepie

How about using the government to forcibly TAKE from the POLITICAL majority(the middle class) and giving to the rich(tax cuts and government handouts) like Reagan and Bush. Get over yourself, learn what Marxism, Communism and Social Justice IS!!! You imbecile!

[myeyepie]

@HopsBrewing I would agree that corporate welfare is just as wrong. Tax cuts don't fit into this at all. Bottom line is when you come in and demand the right to take the fruit of my labor we will have a problem. Try to do it forcibly and that's a declaration of war. I will protect my family. Any man who won't is a coward and a bastard. I know what those ism's are and Social justice. Do you. Truly? Any politician promising to from someone and give it to you is setting you up. Divide=conquer

[HopsBrewing]

@myeyepie

"Bottom line is when you come in and demand the right to take the fruit of my labor..."

That's basically where the line is drawn, I think, from lesser people and humanitarians. One, taxes help the community and the nation and SOME people realize that. Two, taxes makes things cheaper in the long run for people like you who are too ignorant to the fact that taxes are not a way to "STEAL" the fruit of your labor. I don't mind paying taxes, what does that make me? Naive?

[myeyepie]

@HopsBrewing I don't wan't to call anyone a name but in my book trusting the politicians to do what you say is naive and they count on it. Control over the means of production and fruits of production is what every big government corrupt or otherwise wants. Problem is once you concentrate that power its like the worlds largest magnet for corrupt people who will say, do, and promise anything to gain control of it. And once they do there is little if anything the people can do about it anymore.

[HopsBrewing]

@myeyepie

Your rant about Corporations and their loopholes, I agree with. Except I don't think it's really the politicians way to save themselves, there are lobbyists who dish out Campaign money to politicians almost every day. The CORPORATIONS control what goes on in politics.

In my book, with enough of a majority, we can make politicians do what WE want. Whereas, corps will never budge. Look at the PROGRESS we made in the last 60 years, power to the people. Stop crying and pick up a sign.

[Lochee1000]

HOPS, that's a good point too. Not only do the corporations have a huge say in what goes on economically, politically, etc in this country, but the Federal Reserves. They can literally swerve the national economy totally out of whack with one move of the pen....put us all out of work...yeah, literally.

[myeyepie]

@HopsBrewing I don't oppose taxes for the specific enumerated powers given to the federal government that benefit us all equally and protect us equally. Taking care of my fellow man is not my governments job nor is it capable of doing it as well as we are individually. I personally have lived below the poverty line all my life and still manage to give 11-13% of my earnings plus many hours of volunteer service to directly help those poor(er) than myself and those who are underprivledged.

[HopsBrewing]

@myeyepie

Corporations found loopholes and many of those Corporations DON'T PAY taxes at all. Exxon last year didn't pay CENT in taxes. Why aren't you completely pissed off at them?

[myeyepie]

@HopsBrewing Um.... Corporations have loopholes because the politicians purposefully create them to protect themselves and their interests. Corporations, Governments, and Unions are all the same thing. They all ways of concentrating control over the means of production or the fruits of production. They are all heads of the same beast. This is the genius of the original constitution. It severely limited the governments power and left it with the people as much as possible. Continued

[myeyepie]

@myeyepie Then people ammassed power in their corporations whose power was checked by a government that enforced law equally so that corporations had to fight each other back and forth in an eternal struggle that should keep that power decentralized and therefore less dangerous than it is now. We blew it when we started trusting corrupt people that they could "help" us by expanding gov power beyond the constitution which was really giving the power to corrupt folks from corporation and unions.

[HopsBrewing]

@myeyepie

The problem you have is that you look at taxes and you automatically think that that money is going to people who are homeless and in poverty, whatever. No, it's going to programs. It's going to scientists who are researching ways to remove our dependence on oil, it's going to military, its going to infrastructure. Everything else, a very small percentage is going to public housing, social security, welfare, and other aid. Computers and internet will all funded with tax dollars.

[smilingheathen]

@myeyepie the political minority (rich) have corrupted the govt for the purpose of wealth consolidation. Such a small% of citizens hold such a large % of $.its clear the system needs some adjustment. Justice is good and right. Everything you accuse the poor of,the rich have done. and it is not Christian,

[Magic4Real312]

@myeyepie Social Justice=/= Communism and Marxism.

[Manatizzle89]

.....i don't care that beck considers himself conservative...i care that he helps contribute to american stupidity on a weekly basis

[AMMKILLER]

@Manatizzle89 how is he being stupid???

[Manatizzle89]

do i really need to explain this to you? well, the most recent example of him suggesting that churches who preach social justice are only preaching socialism and communist ideologies, which then can only further insinuate that Jesus himself was not an advocate of social justice, or equality. that's one example.

[AMMKILLER]

@Manatizzle89 well if you watch what he said he meant that churches should not be teaching that and no were in the bible does it talk about social justice socialism and communist ideologies so they should even be talking about that if you would of watch all of his shows you would of heard him explain on what he meant to people like you who say he is a jesus hater

[Manatizzle89]

where exactly did i say that he was a "jesus hater?"...i was simply pointing out how its funny how the man who claimed that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." OBVIOUSLY must not have been an advocate for social justice according to beck caring for those less fortunate than yourself is social justice, jesus didn't advocate for the wealthy if beck gets called a jesus hater its his own fault for not thinking before he speaks

[LeighMet]

Ben Franklin was the first post master general. He was in charge of the mail how is that not goverment?

[elwoodey]

Glenn if you did not make these bizarre radical comments very few people would know who you are. Your irrational thought is all you have to offer, it is your schtick. Stop complaining about the bad press because I have a feeling for you it is better than the alternative, no press.

[ecosmart123]

If you follow Beck, you are a sad individual. The guy is a media clown with an overinflated ego. I thought this was a radio show. How many cameras and close ups are used during this monumental waste of time?

Eagle13Eric, may I suggest a few books for you to read? Peoples History of the United States ,Open Veins of Latin America and Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Your views of left and right need adjusting. Investing energy in a no talent ass clown like Beck is unproductive. Learn the truth.

[Eagle13Eric]

@ecosmart123 (pt1)... blah, blah, blah... whatever... Ok, I am "a sad individual"...

Do you have anymore insults you'd like to throw at me or Beck?

I'll pass on your suggested reading materials... the simple fact that "A Peoples History of the United States" "... has been adopted for reading in some high schools and colleges across the United States... "(source wiki) is a big enough red flag for me to avoid it. (cont.)...

[ecosmart123]

Too bad you want to pass on the reading list. After those three I would have suggested more. Red flag? Scared your beliefs will be challenged? The reason A Peoples History is recommended reading is because it tells the truth, unlike the sanitized text books US students are using. Trust me. You will benefit from stepping away from the tripe that is fed by the right wing media and really learn what America is about. You may be shocked to learn that I hate the government as much as you.

[thetomorrownow]

@Eagle13Eric I don't think you are a sad individual. I imagine you are highly intelligent and work really hard. What I do think is that Beck doesn't explain himself very well. Maybe you should do it for him in this forum. If you know what he is talking about, please enlighten me.

[KidOmniMan]

@Eagle13Eric Why read books when you already have a guy who dropped out in the first semester of college, had drug and alcohol problems and is ADHD to tell you that every book and credible source is wrong? If you want to have an opinion that people will take seriously you need to educate yourself instead of listening to one of the most controversial and retarded men in the media, You're better than this nonsense, I hope.

[AMMKILLER]

@KidOmniMan you know you can edgucate your self with out going to college and what sources and books is he saying that is wrong?

[AMMKILLER]

@ecosmart123 You do realize this is the 3rd most listed radio show in America thats why there is cameras

[MrUnicorn1995]

@ecosmart123 A People's History of the United States? Really? I've never seen so many ellipses in my life as when I read Zinn, it's outrageous...

[megadittos100]

Glenn Beck is 1000% right on this! The Poor are poor because they want to be!! They make choices, they get what they deserve! As Rush has said, our country was founded by rich white men and we need to stay true to those values! God Is Republican!!!!!

[thetomorrownow]

@megadittos100 really! Can you tell that to the thousands of people who lost their homes because of the bankers and their bad business practices. Sometimes its not about the people but about other peoples unethical behaviour. Glen said that God/Jesus is a Nazi actually.

[ikemh]

@thetomorrownow Have you ever heard the axiom, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Most of the people you talked about were seeking a "free lunch" and willingly allowed crooks to lead them into deep water. People who display unethical behavior should be shunned, and it is up to the individual to educate themselves enough to know who they are. If you study the Bible at all, you will find that Jesus taught extensively about individual responsibility, not social justice.

[ilovecrap]

Glenn Beck talks like a dictator. "I told you they would come after me" "They are trying to change history" "They are lying about me" (paraphrasing of course)

Beck uses his distorted history to indoctrinate his followers and tell them that ONLY HE speaks the truth and anyone attacking Glenn is the enemy.

[ShadowSandy]

Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Sounds like re-distribution of wealth to me!

[LastRepublic]

0:52 - 0:54. You won't. Not because of this. But eventually you won't, Glenn.

[LRigoulot]

if you are doing your best, your best isn't good enough.

[Eagle13Eric]

@DickSkidmore I'm sure glad we have you as an expert to explain to us simple folk what Christian brothers and sisters really think about this current leftist media feeding frenzy... lol ;)

[thetomorrownow]

again why don't you explain Glenn's ideas to us.

[DickSkidmore]

You shot down your own Christian brothers and sisters Glenn.

Bye Glenn, been nice knowin' ya.
