Those Obama figures change daily. Stories are obsolete on an hourly basis.

 

Beck said it on a CBS interview about 6 weeks or so ago I believe, and repeated it on the O'Rielly Factor a few days later as well.

 

That seems like a really non-bias, reliable source......

i think he basically said we didn't have any good candidates at all.....

He voted for McCain, but he just said that "he couldn't see how, given his record, McCain would have been any better."

He was making a side comment, he voted McCain.

Of course they all report on it saying "Beck said O was better than McCain!"

Bottom line he voted for McCain!

Watch his show once, he doesn't agree with this administration in anyway.

 

It's going to be terribly outdated being ONE DAY OLD.


CATO isnt reliable?

It's a large libertarian think tank in DC. So yeah, I guess it's "not reliable" if you like liberty.

thanks riley, i am at work and didnt have the time to get the exact quote.

 

Beck did say he thought Obama was a better choice than McCain and he said it very clearly and without any qualifiers. I was listening to him (on TV) when he said it.

I actually went to the same small town High School as Beck. I was only an aquaintance (not a friend) but then he was a real loner and didn't have any friends (except maybe one other guy who was almost as much of a loner as Beck). I tried to talk to him a couple of times as I was the kind of student that bridged the gap between the jocks, stoners and geeks. But he was very stand-offish and anti-social. He was always out only for himself, never saw him offer help to anyone or say anything positive.

He really hasn't changed. To understand Beck's "politics" you have to understand that he will say anything that brings him attention and viewers (like the Obama better than McCain statement). He is a freak show and his statements are crafted to appeal to those who feel disenfranchised but he often doesn't have enough background knowledge to know what he's talking about. But his statements appeal to those who don't know any more than he does. He's only interested in ratings and making more money.

In that respect I consider him more of a traitor than those who he regularly names as traitors. His rhetoric is bad for the country and most of it is based upon ignorance. The sooner he self-destructs the better it will be for the strength of our nation. His entire goal is to divide the people in order to increase his own standing. He is not the patriot he claims he is.

Without divisiveness, he is nothing.

 

oh sorry...ive never heard of CATO. i didn't click on the link, just figued it was some bias hole in the wall source. my b...

GLENN BECK VOTED MCCAIN! but he obviously thought O would have been better that's why he voted for him. That is just a statement sort of taken out of context.

dont kno what your trying to prove? Beck likes O, thinks he is the greatest???

 

Sounds like a true capitalist, like say~~ Al Gore~~ don't really give a **** about what he is talking about as long as he can make some money off the rest of the poor saps in the world.
Say I be Damn!

 

RD's just rattling his own cage.

 

Looks like offroadn can't take the fact that his lord and savior said something positive about Obama.

 

I heard Beck say something along the lines of:

Obama was better for the country than Mccain, because Mccain would have just slowly continued America's decline. Obama made the decline so quick and deep that it will shock the country

Kinda like putting a frog in a pot of water and slowly heating it as opposed to turning on the high heat right away...

I would call Beck a 'liberal' in its classical meaning.

 

Exactly!

Anyone here who believes that Beck was saying that Obama would be the better president, doesn't know a thing about Beck. Some of us heard him make these statements over and over. We didn't just read them on a link we found through a search. We heard what he said and know what he ment.

He said, in so many words, that Obama was the better choice because if McCain had been elected it would have been business as usual. Typical government corruption. Same old-same old. The reason he believes that Obama is the better choice is because it's caused more and more people to wake up and pay attention.

You Beck haters can bash all you want. Beck isn't even necessary. He's a figure head, kind of like our preseident. You can't reverse what he, and others, have done. There are a ton more people who are taking the time and putting in the effort to figure out how to educate themselves. There are tons of people who are paying attention to how our government was intended to work vs. how it currently is run. There are more and more people every day who've decided that they aren't going to stay on the sidelines being the complacent Americans that the government has become accustom to any longer.

When I went to my first tax day tea party in my city last April, Beck wasn't there. When I went to the Independence Day tea party in Boston, Beck wasn't there. When I marched down Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington DC with a million or so of my fellow concerned citizens this past September, Beck wasn't there. Beck wasn't at any of the rallies or meetings that I've attended with concerned citizens in my area. To put it simply, this isn't about Beck.

So, for thoes of you that insist on making this a discussion about Beck, that's fine. It just proves that you don't get it. You can either watch this all come crashing down with the rest of us, or you can be on the side lines as we, the people, right the course. If Beck stopped talking today, there are millions of people who will continue to spread the message.

 

If only Oprah were on the opposite side of the fence!!!!!!!!!

 

The title of this thread is "The many takes on Glenn Beck".

In otherwords, this is about Glenn Beck and it is YOU who doesn't get it. Like him or not, that's what this thread is about.

I went to HS school with the guy and I will tell you on no uncertain terms, he is not the patriot he pretends to be. It's all about him, not his country.
