So from what I get...Most people don't like the fact that he doesn't side with either Republicans or Democrats...He's an independant. And his delivery is a bit odd.

But from what I've seen of him, he's truthful and I agree with a lot that he says. Not everything, but a lot.

And don't just say he was a liar, give examples about what he's lied about...Because he was right about ACORN. I haven't seen any proof he's been lying about anything else, so give solid examples and proof if you just accuse him of being a liar, please.

He's an arrogant jerk who can't accept any of the facts that disprove his opinions.

Is it true that he earns something like $50million a year? If so then i hate him for that. Apart from that i hate how he constantly lies and you can't argue with him.

What did he say about pro wrestling?

he just has a pretty naive outlook on the reasons why people watch pro wrestling, he said people watch it simply because it's fun to watch people fight, which isn't very true at all

To add to this...I think it was after the whole Benoit incident, Glenn Beck started criticizing the WWE like he knew everything about it yet he was constantly getting things like the names of the shows wrong. But still, in this department he wasn't as bad as Nancy Grace who asked, "How did Chris Benoit feel when he was demoted from the Four Horsemen to Raw?" :|

Well. He's causing fear in people because it seems to be the only thing that gets through to people. No one really seems concerned about the recession right now; and yet the government keeps spending...And we do need to be afraid of this. Because I owe 500k to the government through taxes already. i won't be able to pay this off in my life time. No one will and yet the spending continues.

Theres really not that much to be afraid of. most are concerned about the recession the problem with the spending is how we get our money, we just borrow it from other countries. we should be taxing more. taxation, education and unions built the middle class

IMO, he's a blowhard who spouts off at the mouth anything that comes to mind negative about the Dem Party and the President. Now don't get me wrong there are liberals out there the same way, we just thank their crazy. Many of my conseraitive friends think Beck speaks the 100% truth.

Nah im not rich at all. Im pretty much in the working class, and im school. Raising your taxes does not mean you only lose things. You GET things from taxes. taxes are not solely to pay politicians.

I can't stand him; he's a lying sensationalist, drone of the ultra-conservative movement who hate everyone who don't believe what he does. I find his show to be pure propaganda and treasonous seeing how his show goes beyond simply disagreeing Obama's agenda and suggesting "revoltion" against him, and that he is "a secret communist bent on destroying the America we love and must be stopped." I imagine if Glenn Beck ruled the country it would look a lot like 1941 Germany.

I hate him because he passes his show off as a serious news source. He's Colbert and John Stewart, but from the conservative perspective. If he presented his show as such, I wouldn't have any problem with him.

Not in the context it is used in the video. It' isn't "making it offensive"... it is. As someone who works with children (some of which are retarded) I find it incredibly offensive. Children don't choose to be born retarded and to make light of that I find incredibility distasteful.

Because Glenn Beck is a extreme neo conservative.. Extremes on either end should be avoided.. He has accounted that godlessness is one of America's leading problem.. He is basically Ann Coulter with a huge viewing audience, and has said things that are not only racist but could possibly incite violence.. He is also clearly shown where he will hump the leg of any thing conservative, as well as complete burn anything remotely coming to moderate or liberal regardless if they may even share some views of his..

Well, I don't have a problem with him.. I just think that if you're going to pay somebody like that to be on T.V. you might as well employ every crazy person in America to do the same thing.

I didn't even watch the video; but if someone says another person is retarded, they don't have to use the negative connotation. You just called some people retarded and didn't mean any offense. Again, I didn't watch the video, so I'm sorry if I am wrong here.

I'm not sure how to insert links(noob), but i saw a video of him on youtube analyzing all this "communist propaganda" that new yorkers see every day. And how it's all over rockefeller center, therefore making NBC a communist news station. What he doesn't get is that the people who leased the land, designed it, and built it, is one of the most infamous monopolists in american history. Yeah, really communistic glenn beck. I don't like the irrational fear and hatred he spreads.

he's an egotistical blowhard who rarely lets logic influence the words that spew from his face.

he's one paycheck away from that crazy guy on the corner that you try to ignore as you head into work.

other than that, he's okay.

I would be happier paying higher taxes if I actually got a voice in deciding where those taxes go to pay for. For example I would rather have my tax money fund scholarship programs in D.C than have them pay for abortions in D.C., but it appears the politicians have other priorities.

I like him because he's just some TV character that people get pissed about, like Bill O'Reilly. And he can be pretty funny.
