Glen Beck Is Rush Limbaugh Without The Flair |
|
How that cipher got a tv show and radio show is beyond me.
That is all.

1. He cried until they gave him one. |

God knows that guy produces enough tears to be his own ocean.

2. He's kind of entertaining |
|
The guy is deliciously goofy. At least for about a minute or so at a time. I couldn't take him much longer than that. That stuff he was doing about looking into his eyes not too long ago was hilarious. Creepy funny.

4. to me, he's just really stupid |
|
just trying to relate to the Fox demographic, I guess...My Mom, who at 77 isn't exactly a liberal, heard his Christmas story and though it was the stupidest thing she'd heard...so I guess there's still hope?

5. Stupid, yes, but I'd add annoying. |
|
I have never seen his show on purpose, maybe 2 or 3 minutes tops. I have had enough of people like him in life and don't need to watch his psychotic behavior on TV.

6. The real question: is Beck as stupid as Hannity? |
|
Sean always strikes me as the epitome of right-wing cluelessness, a smug, self-satisfied twit whose highly partisan outbursts always come with a load of lies along with misleading and false "facts" he dredges up from the nether regions. In other words, a useless, blockheaded wingnut loudmouth.
But Beck! Good God. Beck comes across as actually, literally unhinged at times. If this is stupidity, then it comes in the form of a virulent, strongly pro-active in-your-face idiocy and apparent mindlessness that is an instant turn-off to any thinking person. (I can stand about one minute, or less.)
So which is it? If you could only have one, would you choose Beck or Hannity?

8. Beck Is Dumber Than Hannity |
|
But Rush is the most dangerous. He is a demagogue that actually makes sense to the predispsed.

12. Rush is dangerous, in part because he is talented |
|
Glen Beck is not talented at all. TV was a huge mistake for him in the long run. He's the worst.

13. Rush is a college dropout. Beck didn't even go to college. |
|
There is a common thread with most of the conservative talk show hosts. They have problems cracking a book.

19. Beck actually dropped out of Yale. I guess that's a step above Limbaugh |

17. Beck and Limbaugh have the same radio background, |
|
In Top 40 Radio. Limbaugh has a certain (not necessarily good) editorial acumen, appeal and talent while Glenn Beck has none. He should go back and do "Morning Zoo" radio, with gossip, news-of-the-weird items and obnoxious sound effects. He's just lucky he has a show after the proliferation of Right-Wing douchebags on talk radio.

wants to get rich telling certain groups of people what they want to hear just like Limbaugh. Problem is he has zero talent and his "passionate" arguments are dreadfully fake. He reminds me of a bad televangelist.

That may explain his weirdness. They love him in Utah. He has been the main attraction for the last two years at BYU's "Freedom Festival". :puke:
edited for punctuation.

Don't know how he finds his damned way to the station every day.
Worthless clown.
