Board's view of Glenn Beck

I used to listen to his show on the radio. I have not consistently watched him on Fox.
I quit listening to him altogether when he started pushing gold and selling food insurance. It seems like all he knows how to do is a hard sell.
Btw, has anyone here seen his Christmas show? At one point they had it in select theaters.
Today he was pushing a 30 minute documentary on Russia that he wanted us to get our children to watch with us. It kind of rubbed me the wrong way. He is so dramatic about every issue he supports.

Fair assessment.

Too fair, actually.

he has some very good points...but his delivery sucks.

I used to listen to him on AM, before he ever had a TV show. He was entertaining back then. Haven't listened in yrs though.

Bi-polar and ultra-paranoid.
Posted on 3/19/14 at 9:02 am to rebeloke
He's a true believer, and I agree with him a lot, esp about what a criminal justice department we have in the US. He goes overboard on the collapse stuff, but only time will tell, and he may look really smart in a few years, or meh....

Before I opened the string, I was going to say that he has the right message, just with a bad delivery.
But, he does do his homework and he definitely tells the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers (Rex, VOR, Spidey, etc.) what they don't want to hear about their Messiah.

He seems like he would be great neighbor (as are most Mormons), but listening to him irritates me.

He is a grandstanding entrepreneur that has realized there is much money to be made pandering to low IQ fears, prejudices and desires.

Board's view of Glenn Beck
I can't stand Beck. The mellow drama and the droning on and on kills me.
Hannity sucks too. He's too repetitive and lacks substance.
Oh, and FWIW on the sports talk side Tim Brando with his fake laughs make his show unlistenable.
Wilkow and Levin FTW.

Can't stand him. Plus him claiming to be libertarian

Andrew Wilkow is really good .. but I can't listen to people like Beck or Levin. Too little substance and too much demagoguery.

Libertarian is such wastebasket term. Not even libertarians know what it means. Some think it means absolutely no government intervention into life, some think it means limited government intervention, some thing it means more state and less federal, some think it means all drugs legalized and a strong military, some think it means all drugs legalized, abortion on demand and a weak military. Some think it means no intervention outside of our borders, some think it means open borders...some closed borders.
Ask 10 self-proclaimed libertarians what it means to be a libertarian and you will likely get 10 vastly different answers.

Please don't put Levin in the Glen Beck category. In terms of substance Levin will wipe the floor with any talk show host's jock strap, including liberals.

to me Peter Schiff is the best in the biz. I also like red eye folks.

This, he knows his stuff and does his home work and is spot on about most things when it comes to the Gov. Saying that I can't watch him, to much theatrics.
