Glenn Beck is lying - No, not what you think...

[DetlefK]

I believe that Glenn Beck knows exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it.
I believe that Glenn Beck is an average sane person.
I believe that Glenn Beck's views and arguments on TV are not his original beliefs.


Why would somebody say all these outrageous things? If Glenn Beck really were demented, he would also freak out in private life. Stories would come out about trouble in his family, with his neighbours... but they don't.

So, I think Glenn Beck is lying to the wingnuts. He is lying in his support to them. I believe that his crazy behavior is not original, but intentional. Everything he is doing has only two goals: attention and ratings.

If Glenn Beck really were trying to work against the democrats or unsatisfied with the Obama-administration, he would actually try to do something useful with sane arguments and backed by facts. But he is not...
Why chain yourself to a strategy that is doomed in the long term?





Because it creates money in the short term.

1. I believe he is attempting to ignite the crazies into action. He is dangerous.

3. Sure, it's a big scam

He saw how easy it was to fool the booger eaters. He watched limbaugh do it for 20 years. Of course he's in it for the money.

To a certain extent most of these right wing blowhards don't believe the bullshit they puke out day after day but it brings in big bucks and it keeps the dumshits stirred up.

Except Sean Hannity. That poor bastard actually believes the whole line of crap.

4. He was never this crazy until he got to Fox.

He's obviously gone crazy for the money.

5. I must respectfully disagree...I think he's quite dangerous.

I believe Glenn Beck has a Messiah complex & is gathering followers to worship him & his visions. He is beyond deluded & a serious danger, IMHO, because he has a TV forum in NYC, no less.

He is not concerned with fixing, changing or improving anything. He is forming his cult. He is a sick, narcissist with paranoid overtones and should be medicated. Now he's decoding artwork on buildings as if they were messages from heaven predicting the future.

Faux is treading in dangerous legal territory by allowing the insanity to continue, again IMHO. I'm no expert, but many sociopaths function surprisingly well in public. Their families may see evidence of selfish behaviors & self-centered actions, but "over the top" sneaks up gradually.

I think Beck should be shut down, or at least moved to some TV station in Bumfreak, USA.

6. there's 50 million reasons why what you say is likely true $$$$$$

that said, the danger he poses is real, even if it is just an act for him.
