Glenn Beck Guns For More Money - Picks up gun seller ads - Cheaper Than Dirt

[RamboLiberal]

If there is one thing you can say about Glenn Beck it’s that he is the consummate capitalist, practiced in the arts of Snake Oil salesmanship and Apocalypse Marketing. He has parlayed those skills into a commercial exploitation empire that spans television, radio, Internet, publishing, theater, merchandising, and of course, advertising.

As the survivors and victims of the Tucson massacre are still mourning and healing, Beck has reached out to new clientele in the pursuit of higher profits:



Note that this is not an advertisement for sporting gear or self defense. It is an ad selling “revolution.” As any marketing professional will tell you, the words and images in ads are deliberately chosen and tested to produce a desired response from their target audience. It is plain that Beck is seizing upon the recent tragedy to fatten his wallet. At the same time he is advancing his mission to arm his congregation for the approaching battle.

This new sponsor fits in well with the Apocalypse Marketing strategy Beck has forged. After acquiring your Food Insurance, stashing your valuables in Liberty Safes, and hoarding coins from Goldline, don’t forget to stock your armory.

For those of you not familiar here's the Cheaper than Dirt website: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/

Wonder if they will place ads on his TV or radio show. They do advertise on TV on shooting shows on Outdoor Channel & a couple of others.

1. What can we do? This is the last straw. He is arming them literally.

2. Perfect fit.

3. Beck pimps Liberty Safes?

Oh shit, I have two of them.

WTF am I gonna do?

4. Note that "buying guns online" is no different than special-ordering them at your local gun dealer

You still have to go through the federally mandated background check and whatever hurdles your state imposes before you can take delivery. You have to go in person to your local federal firearms licensee to pick them up, and provide whatever forms of identification are required.

I have bought a few curio or relic firearms from CTD. Because of my federal firearms license, they were delivered direct to me at my house.

7. i should`t have given away my 22rimfire! $500 something new!

5. Mountain out of a mole hill much?

There are already 80 million gun owners in this country, we could care less who advertises with Beck, much less what Beck thinks.

That said, CTD is the butt of countless jokes in the gun community.

10. I can't help but wonder how much of Beck's audience is people who hate him

Just keeping an eye on him, or whatever rationalization they use.

[Tejas]

11. People whose lives revolve around Beck

remind me of the ones that constantly post items about Palin or Cheney or Limbaugh or..... I sometimes wonder who's behind constantly shoving all of those names to the forefront.


As far as Beck goes, there's even a healthy portion of the members at AR15.com that can't stand him. Despite efforts here at the DU and elsewhere, Beck is not "all that".

13. Beck's Clearly On Your Side Of The Gun Issue. Not Mine, Thank God. (n/t)

[Tejas]

14. and Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao et al on yours.

6. Brain Damaged?

You know something important...

Its time we start connecting the dots with recent events.

Police union is concerned. 11 Police officers shot in 24hrs, some killed.

Wondering, are the TBTs now Attacking Police to "protect My guns!?" With Beck's constant shows lately about SHOOTING people IN THE HEAD. To Show Commies and Nazis and that he himself would need to be shot in the head before someone tells him how to raise his kids (Does he have Kids? Should CPS should be concerned?).

As of today, I'm referring any and all TeaParty, Teabaggers as "TBT" = Tea Bagger Terrorist. We have the Whit guy who crashes his plane into the IRS building in Texas, the AZ shooting, the police shootings, the constant "gun sights" and "Lock and Load" on liberals?

Do these people know what the word "LIBERAL" means?

12. Are the performances by Beck on FOX illegal?

If words by Beck, Palin and others are not the cause of recent shootings, as they say... and protection of free speech, there are laws about such actions.

1 - Its illegal to yell "fire!" in a crowded theater or business.
2 - Charles Manson hasn't killed anyone... his followers did.

The law
A public disturbance involving (1) an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons, which act or acts shall constitute a clear and present danger of, or shall result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual or (2) a threat or threats of the commission of an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons having, individually or collectively, the ability of immediate execution of such threat or threats, where the performance of the threatened act or acts of violence would constitute a clear and present danger of, or would result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual.18 U.S.C. § 2102.


I think it could be possible that Team FOX & Teaparty groups maybe opening themselves to possible lawsuits.

8. Offering full service: Listen to the hate, buy a gun

The rest is up to the crazies who tune in.

But it will not be Becks fault.

9. Settled Law....Gimme my guns.......Dirty gun grabbers
