Why is Glenn Beck so widley hated?

[commiedic]

Someone on my facebook posted that he wanted proof of why Glenn Beck was called a racist, idiot, and ignorant. I personally don't care for him, but I don't have any proof. I just don't care for strictly opinion news on Fox News. Too often do I hear them talking out their ass and then having to make a formal apology for their actions. I just stick with the "factual" news.

The answer is simple.

Just google Glenn Beck.

Then you'll get all the info you'll need.

For reference, this is the first youtube video you find if you youtube his name:


He's just fucking hilarious

 

[Caveworm]

That is quite scary. He reminds of some political alternative right wing version of Duke Nukeum.

 

[Cherry Cola]

"If you don't acknowledge America's superior healthcare system I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck"

I could totally imagine him saying that.

 

[Superior Mind]

He's a willfully ignorant git who makes a living spreading misinformation and paranoid propaganda. He is not put under any scrutiny or fact-checked by his own employers because his rhetoric falls under the heading of 'opinion' - but it's opinion presented as fact which makes it damaging for those idiotic enough to buy it. On top of that he's just a huge fucking twat.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

Because I never heard of him, and that makes me angry!

 

[Bobbity]

Because "idiot" is too kind a word to describe him. I'm quite serious.

 

[clutch-monkey]

is he the guy who said "tide goes in, tide goes out, nobody can explain why" in an interview with someone?

 

[nhvfx]

no that was Bill O'Reilly

To be fair, that can be easy said as a metaphor.

I don't love Glenn Beck, but I by no means hate him. I sort of think that he's the one of the only people in the media who are willing to not have a whole 'facade' about them and says what needs to be said. This us of course no excuse for blatant racism and such but I think it can explain a lot of what he says.

In short, he's a political commentator who is famous for simply not caring about claims against him.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

He was kicked off Fox News for being too rightwing.

Nuff said.

 

[clutch-monkey]

no that was Bill O'Reilly

ah yes, now there is someone i dislike. cheers

 

[w9496]

Because he's right (I realize that no Anti-Flame Armor can prepare me for the oncoming backlash)?

He says what needs to be said, and someone people do not like what needs to be said.

Err... no. The guy has an agenda that he bullshits through every orifice to trick people into following. Its not political bullshit of "we'll promise this when we know we can only deliver this", its making downright absurd links between things ("Did you know Obama once wiped his arse with toilet paper important from the Middle East? He's a terrorist sympathiser!") before telling everyone Muslims are coming to eat their children. I mean, have you seen that fucking chalk board thing? Only one saying "what needs to be said" my arse.

There is a clip of him on his radio show floating about somewhere, which I think pretty much defines everything about him. He's talking about euthanasia, and a woman (who evidently is not very bright) calls in asking him to clarify what would happen if it was legalised. This woman actually asks if the government would come and euthanise her (or a relative, can't remember which) because they're ill and can't work or anything, and he fucking tells her yes.

Right, I've got it (and yes, I know TYT is left-leaning before someone points out that rather arbitrary point - the full audio clip is still included). Go from 8:45:


Fucking tell me he's not full of shit, I double dare ya.

is he the guy who said "tide goes in, tide goes out, nobody can explain why" in an interview with someone?

Nah, that was Bill O'Reilly.

It was said on his personal vlog whilst discussing how "ridiculous" it is to not believe in god. He was being quite literal.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Because not only is he a hardcore Republican, with all the bigotry that comes with it, but he is also a delusional, paranoid nutcase who seems to think anyone who believes different than Republicans do is a marxist, communist or whatever else who are all in one big conspiracy with Obama and all other liberals to destroy America.

In short, he is like the rodeo clown of the right wing.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Fear-mongering, violence-inciting despicable person. Yeah, I think he's kind of entertaining, but he represents the very worst in political discourse - blatant misinformation, lack of any shame, always playing "victim".

It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't believe the stuff he says. Apparently, he does, which makes him not only utterly unlikeable, but also incredibly ignorant.

[EonEire]

I had no idea this guy even existed before watching these videos.Honestly, is he just trolling?

 

[Pat8u]

wtf does republican and right wing mean, and while Im here what the hell is socialism also I only know about communism a little bit. I going to google those terms but I would still apreciate someone to explain why they are used as insults in america
*start Rant*
also no flaming I am quite concerned about people using other terms that have nothing to do with a democracy as insults I mean the president has to keep america a democracy so it shouldn't be an insult/rant
OT dont know who he is
