Q: Why Does the Left Hate Glenn Beck?

Posted by: Mike's America @ 9:58 pm in Uncategorized  | 807 views

A: For the same reason they hate Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Sarah Palin… They are all effective at getting out the truth to the widest audience!

PhotobucketCurt was doing his rounds of a dodgy neighborhood in Los Angeles when he came across a poster defacing a public utility box (see right).

It’s typical of the kind of buffoonery you see in any large city where left wingers gather. And as usual, it says much more about them than it does the target of their attack.

The real “fascists” here are those who want to shut down any voice which dares to oppose their radical plans to remake America as a socialist, even Marxist, country. And Glenn Beck has been on the front lines of the handful of right of center media outlets exposing their plan.

Beck was reporting on ACORN corruption long before the tapes surfaced of ACORN workers advising a purported pimp and prostitute on how to avoid paying taxes and smuggle underage girls into the country for prostitution. Beck also led the charge in exposing the avowed communist Van Jones, Obama’s “green jobs” Czar.

Now, Beck is exposing the influx of people with ties to radical Marxist groups into the ranks of the Federal Communications Commission whose job it is to “regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.” You are reading this blog now only because the FCC permits it (for now).

Obama’s FCC Chairman, Julius Genachowski, has chosen Jen Howard to serve as his spokesperson. Howard comes from a group called Free Press whose mission is to “Reform media. Transform democracy.” The group claims to be “non partisan” which in this case means they welcome Marxists, Communists and revolutionaries of all leftward stripes. The conferences they sponsor read like a who’s who of the radical left.

The group’s founder, Robert McChesney, is unmasked in this one paragraph from an interview with a Canadian group called the Socialist Project:

Instead of waiting for the revolution to happen, we learned that unless you make significant changes in the media, it will be vastly more difficult to have a revolution. While the media is not the single most important issue in the world, it is one of the core issues that any successful Left project needs to integrate into its strategic program.

McChesney believes that the state should control all media and subsidize it so that evil corporations and the profit motive (measured by how many people watch, listen or read the media product) is no longer a factor. Haven’t we already heard inklings in congress for the first phase of such a subsidy program?

Glenn Beck has also been on the forefront exposing Mark Lloyd, who Obama appointed”Chief Diversity Officer” at the FCC. A job created just for him. Lloyd is another anti-capitalist radical who supports the idea of state owned media. In his 2006 book entitled Prologue to a Farce: Communication and Democracy in America Lloyd sums up his philosophy this way: “my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration.”

Remember that Loyd is the man who praised Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez’s ongoing effort to crack down on opposing media in that country. He called Chavez’s work an “incredible revolution – a democratic revolution.” Meanwhile, day after day groups like the Committee to Protect Journalists and other press freedom groups condemn the destruction of press freedom in that country.

I’ll let Glenn sum this up in his own words. If you are not familiar with Glenn, after watching this you will understand why the left wants to shut him down or shout him down:

Imagine for a moment if President George W. Bush (don’t you miss him?)had installed at the FCC a cadre of right wing Christians whose soul mission in life was to eliminate every leftward voice that disagrees with them? Imagine if Republicans in congress supported those goals with legislation that would subsidize those with approved viewpoints? There would have been riots in the streets.

Obama is slowly installing the people and plans he needs to “reform” freedom of the press. What better group to serve as the embryo for this change than a Marxist outfit that conveniently calls itself “Free Press?” But what is “free” for them, is tyranny to all others!

For a sign of how seriously the White House does or doesn’t take this opposition, one adviser told me those bloggers need to take off the pajamas, get dressed, and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated and difficult.

Democrats are socialist/communist/facist/marxist in training. Half of the democrat politicians already work for and are funded by the enemies of freedom, Soros, the CPUSA, anyone. Billions of dollars stolen from others is being spent to destroy the U.S., by those living within the walls. Too bad they’re power will be taken away, and most will be executed, by the same government they try so hard to force on the rest of us. Even a Facist knows who they’re enemies are and they are the traitors that pushed them into power.

A lot of what Glenn Beck is now researching had already been exposed in many of the blogs that were promoting Hillary during the primaries. One of the Hill blogs was Chicago based that provided a wealth of sourced information. Much of what I’ve seen Beck put out I already knew about, he’s just managed to dig up more footage, testimony and transcripts. There will be more to come, wealth of information out there he hasn’t touched on yet.

Neo, I think they were paraphrasing Mark Levin, who often tells his Liberal callers to put on some clothes get out of the basement, stop mooching off their mothers and get a job. Of course getting a job now, is nearly impossible.

A lack of originality and creative thinking will plague this administration, if the Socialist haven’t tried it and failed, as they invariably do with all their programs, they aren’t interested in trying the program. Creative ideas that work, not from this bunch of dullards.

Maybe Timmy will get a good scoop from his daily long conversations with the harpies of Wall St., you say, they probably play him like a sap to know how to play the market with the latest Socialist scheme to ruin the country.

I happen to think that Glen Beck is a genius, not on Rush Limbaugh’s level but he’s getting there. His shtick is perfect for television. I never pay much attention to him because I view most of his commentary and antics in the same vein of professional wrestling… it’s a work. For those that get their panties in a knot over Glen Beck, I say let it go and ignore it. In fact, I wish I could bottle what he and Rush has and make leftist version of it…

Scraprion, They don’t see themselves as Facist, Communist or even Socialists. They see themselves as “Free Thinkers”. In fact they are so free and openminded that if they stand right in the wind you can hear the wind whistle through their heads.

James, there is a leftist version of Beck…in fact, there are at least 3 of them…Olbermann, Schultz and Matthews…the reason they don’t resonate the way Beck and Limbaugh do is that their schtick is based on lies and not fact, ergo…they suck in the ratings. Newspapers are in decline for two reasons…the internet and the fact that they slant left. If the Times was run by real journalists, they would not be losing subscribers and they would be profitable.

Why do so many of you guys worship these guys that were former drug addicts??? Doesn’t it ever raise a red flag that individuals that can’t manage their own lives probably shouldn’t reign over others lives?

@topps,

i don’t worship glen beck or rush limbaugh… i’m as liberal as they come so i think what they say is idiotic. however, from a media perspective, you have to give them credit. they get their names mentioned more than a little. and what do we do on the left… we oblige them… “did you hear what rush said…he’s so hateful and mean… i’m going to blog about him”…

that to me is being a media genius. notice how no one is really talking about mark levine or michale savage. hell, michelle malkin book sold only because regenery publishing has that book club outlet where they bulk deliver the books. but rush and glen beck… they operate on a different level. even sean hannity is acting a little nervous right now regard beck’s rise.

its all contrived, bombastic… commentary and it works. again, i don’t pay attention to either one have never listened to an entire show of either… hell, i don’t see how people can stomach listening to the crap for 3 hours every day. but they do and its because those two are delivering the product in a way that listeners like and at a level that is no one in the industry can even come close to duplicating… thus… they are indeed geniuses.

Topps, I though liberals were tolerant, no? I judge people by who they are today, not who they were in the past. Calling Limbaugh a drug addict is insane. He didn’t smoke crack or shoot heroine or snort cocaine to the point of being non-functional. He was addicted to prescription pain-killers. He still functioned quite effectively and did his job better than any other radio host. Beck admits to having been an alcoholic. I don’t think alcoholics are lumped in with drug addicts as a general rule by people without a political agenda.

Just as I judge Obumble as the socialist/marxist/totalitarian narcissist that he is today, not the drug-using do-nothing poser he was yesterday.

Jar:

What have i said that has bemoaned tolerance? Have I said they should be off the air, removed from the polis, isolated from the public square?

(Remember, Rush did complete an 18 month drug rehab. program — it’s not so “insane” that he was an addict.)

My point is, I think you could do much better than Beck and his momentarily short lived push-button-anti-Marxist patriotism. It’s only a matter of time i believe that you will find Beck has said something so odd, you, yourself, will question whether of not this guy is to be taken seriously.

Topps, I don’t think Limbaugh did 18 months of rehab. He was only off the air for about 4 weeks, unless he did some follow up outpatient treatment that I wasn’t aware of.

Your intolerance was perceived by the fact that you write off their opinions based on the fact that they HAD problems with addiction. One to Rx drugs and one to alcohol. When one uses the term “drug addict” it invokes a vision of someone who cannot function in society and their only quest is for the next fix. Clearly, Limbaugh never reached that level. Bill Clinton is addicted to sex? Did you write him off when you discovered this or did you support him and blame the Republicans for impeaching him “for having sex”, when it was really because he lied and it was a bi-partisan effort. Do you tolerate Charlie Rangel’s tax cheating or Tim Geithner’s? Or is it okay because their liberals?

While Beck does get overly dramatic, he hasn’t missed on any of his points yet. He has Obumble’s associations and real agenda clearly identified. The Marxists are all over the White House and they’re being placedg them in the FCC and FTC…I have met a lot of people here in New York that regret their vote for The Fraudulent One. I suspect this is true across the country.

@topps: Love it when folks like topps say we shouldn’t listen to recovering addicts. I guess that means topps won’t be worshipping at the altar of half the Hollywood celebrities his crowds hold up as models of left wing sanity. Not to mention the Democrats who are ELECTED officials and spend half their time in rehab.

What a shame topps can’t compete on the issues, he has to get personal and dirty… oh well, what did I expect? Reason and rationality are in short supply on the left.

Give me a recovering addict over a unrepetant sociopath (Obama) any day!

I think I tried to submit this but it didn’t go through. I am a little confused. I remember watching a CNN biographical biography about Obama. They specifically cited one of the two books he wrote during his first year in the US Senate. He admitted himself that he was a cocaine user, a pothead and a general druggie and that he quitted because he was worried that he was an addict. Sounds like a whole lot of powder was snorted to me. Who knows how it affected his brain.

All of this activity occurred while he was attending Harvard. It now kind of makes sense to me why the Obama team fought tooth and nail against Harvard releasing his transcripts and his academic record.

Just wondering. And my mom used to say “Birds of a feather flock together”. It is very curious to me that he can’t seem to find decent people who don’t have radical drug infested backgrounds to hang around with and bring aboard on his team.

I’d say Mike’s got it covered. The liberals always idolize the individual who came back from extreme adversity to recover and make it big…. at least if they are liberals or progressives, anyway. If they are conservative, they are lesser individuals – unworthy of accolades.

Nice goin’, topps. Managed to portray yourself as the intolerant partisan mole that you are. Congrats. What can we add to your performance? Nothing. You have done the damage to yourself and your party all by your lonesome. With spokesmen like you, we can merely stand back and watch you do the forked tongue dance all by yourself. For you see, unlike Beck, you are surrounded only by either extreme leftists… or those you manage to convince of Beck’s evil with your misrepresentations.

But then… be careful. They may actually listen and find you’ve got it all wrong.

On the subject of the thread – Glenn Beck. Been listening and watching him for years – long before he was on the radar like he is today. Like Lou Dobbs, Beck’s been confident enough to take his own path on his analyses. And voices that do not cowtow to ratings always interest me.

Not long before he moved to FOX, I turned quite a few others (both parties) on to him. Not one is sorry.

I’ve heard some of his informational errors, but they are small potatoes with the overall presentation that focuses on the escalated corruption and seizure of governmental power. Frankly, he’s on a roll that would never have happened until he and CNN parted company.

However what the liberal leadership and talking points masters fail to understand (which is what makes them attack some goofy, unsophisticated nerd from Utah) is that those that are finding themselves nodding in agreement with Beck cross party and racial lines. Beck’s arguments aren’t about party or race. They are about Congressional spending, family control, and individual responsibility and choice. That is an American message… not a party message.

During the primaries and election campaign, many of us saw what Obama believed, and with whom he chose to surround himself. Others felt it was just pandering to get the vote, and excused it. Now that we have some history under our belts of Obama’s “leadership”, many are awakening. His massive czar selection of those with questionable backgrounds and beliefs echos the truth to Obama’s own words…. “if you want to know what I believe…” look at those with whom he associates.

Always did… nice to know others are finally looking. Thank you for that personal invite of scrutiny, Obama.

Obama is a man who does not like America as it was founded, nor as it is today. His message has consistantly been only he – and his adoring O’faithful army – are capable of changing it to the utopian dream.

Beck’s message isn’t racist. However Obama’s message is. The nuances have always been there with the quiet affirmative action, anti-capitalism approach. However it was as black and white as it could get when Obama immediately chose to side with a black professor prior having details and facts. He saw what he chose to see, as was indoctrinated from his childhood…. the professional victim because of race, despite his privileges and opportunities. To Obama, the black man had to have been abused by the white cop. There was no other possibility.

Obama’s racism is also evident when he backs away from American support for our long standing allies (Jewish or white European in Israel, Poland etal) in order to make nice with despots and terrorists. His bitterness towards capitalism and the white western European race is on display with his constant invocation of financial class warfare.

Yet so many choose to avert their eyes. That they could have misjudged one they thought would truly elevate the nation is something they can’t accept. Pity.

You can also add Obama’s method of mob-style governing. Tell me why a White House needs to personally assail and discredit an independent study of the fiscal repercussions of the Baucus bill? This is a Congressional offering. The White House is out of line playing Chicago defense on a study of a Congressional bill… no matter who was conducting the audit.

This Executive Branch assault on conservative media, individuals and or businesses, when they disagree with policy, is Alinsky Community Organizing 101 and contemptuous coming from our elected officials (or at least the few in Obama’s admin we did elect, or were confirmed). This admin speaks of harmony while they sow the seeds of class envy discontent. It is something we have not seen from the WH before in my lifetime.

I’ve since ceased to be angry. Just in shock and stun that the individuals in the nation cling to visions and dreams of what they perceive rather than clearly seeing what is before their very eyes. I shudder to think what the blow will be that will awakens them from their dreams.

I’ve said before what bothers me second about Obama… the first being his Euro-socialist visions for America… is the fact he thinks of himself as a black man first, and an American second. His policies, behavior and responses to events reflect my opinion. And I assure you, I take no pleasure in being correct.

If the truth hurts, hurl the “racist” crap all you want, oh resident and visiting progressives. You may sleep well, thinking you won some victory with your insults and misconceptions. But it does not alter the truth. My life, my friends, my working compadres, and my acquaintances all belie these false charges. Those around me in my lifetime have been equal in my eyes… regardless of heritage and race. And that included the opportunity to excel, or prove themselves to be bitter victims, blaming others for their own shortcomings as humans.

What Obama and his community that he organized will find is the sheer volume of citizens to which they attach the “racist” label – in order to further their agenda – will result in a backlash that will difficult to surmount. Yes, Obama will be a one termer. The damage he will incur to race relations, class warfare, economic destruction, and international relations with our allies will be hard to reverse.

And unless the nation has been raised to be suckling-at-the-tit socialists, we will again revert to who we were as an infant nation. We will find new energy to honor our individual Consitutional freedoms (which do not include having single payer health insurance) while battling down the power mongrels – both parties – that inhabit the halls of Congress. For far too many of them have decided to sell out our souls for individual wealth and power.

Excellent Mata, almost missed this. Just want to add a couple of things. When Beck errs, he corrects it immediately. I can’t remember what it was, but last summer Beck exposed an Obama myth that was making the rounds, then was promptly blamed by the lefty bloggers for pushing the myth. After all the time and research he put into it, and very clearly exposed it to be false, no way to take his words in any other way, they blamed him anyway.

@Missy:

I think what you are referring to is Beck’s research into, and subsequent debunking of, the Interwebz rumors of FEMA internment camps.

The Left cannot be honest about things. They have to twist, lie, spin, and just plain make things up in order to gain/hold ground.

The current controversy regarding Limbaugh is a perfect example.

Yep, that’s the incident, thanks.

I think it was Gateway Pundits that had a couple of threads up yesterday about where Rush rumors originated. They tracked one of them down to “cobra” who just decided to throw it out while commenting on several blogs, then it made it’s way to Wikiquotes and ta da, rumor turned into fact. A couple of people challenged him and proved all the google hits went right back to him.

Glenn is one of the few who doesn’t sugarcoat it, or get mealy- mouthed in calling these marxists out.
Glenn, unlike some others, calls it like he sees it- he doesn’t “give others the benefit of the doubt” when they have proven that they do not deserve that doubt, indeed they have removed all doubt about their agenda.
There are those who would stick their head in the sand, these people I call Denialists- they are good people, some of whom voted for Obama, who just think if they can hunker down, they will be OK.
Glenn exposes these administration hacks for what they are, and unfortunately, the Denialists are going to get caught in the crossfire of policies, and because they have chosen to be blind, are going to end up far worse than many who have kept their eyes open.
There are at least four Amendments to our Constitution that are under attack by this administration- the First, the Second, the Fourth, and the Tenth Amendments all are intrinsic to individual freedoms, and this administration wants to squash any ideas of individuality.
Oct, 19- 26 this admin is flooding the airwaves with ads and subliminal programming insertions designed to urge citizens to serve Obama and the government.
If this isn’t Marxist to the core, I do not know what is.
