Glen Beck

[Menelik]

Story by NowPublic. I don't know their ideology but if these numbers are true it does say something about the audience:

"Glenn Beck's movie of redemption has not redeemed itself in sales. Based on his book, "The Christmas Sweater: A Return to Redemption", Beck's movie went out to theaters nationally. Sales in New York and Boston numbered 17 tickets per state. Washington , DC saw ticket sales of 30.


The movie had been heavily promoted on Fox, but apparently no one was interested in it. It details biographical stories of Beck's. His play version of the film was protested at NYU in Manhattan."

Glenn has two new books out, too. I don't know, maybe he has jumped the shark.

 

[guest301]

His books are bestsellers and I won two tickets to see the movie from a local radio station. It's not really am movie anyway, more of a live play and telling of a story from what I understand. Don't know if I trust the link provided at the top of this thread. The MSM hates Beck more than any other conservative outside of Palin and so who knows how many people are going to see the "Christmas Sweater".

 

[Bronk]

Overexposed.

 

[Run Stuffing LB]

The days of supporting "trust me, I'm pro-White, although I'd never say those words" individuals need to end.

Gentlemen,

This guy is on tv. Therefore he's a liberal.

Tom Iron...

Still it's amazing to watch the establishment media trying everything to besmirch this guy. Here was the first article I saw when I booted my computer this morning. It's absurd on its face. They are throwing crap at the wall as fast as they can, trying to get something to stick.

Tom Iron, Beck is no liberal by any estimation except yours. He was a conservative/libertarian radio talk show host long before he got on TV. Football Dad, right on the mark as usual. By the way in reference to the first post on this thread, The Christmas Sweater is actually doing quite well according to Beck and and he is actually getting some good reviews on the show.Edited by: guest301

I like most of Glenn Beck's point of view, although he does get kinda spastic or hyper sometimes

It's part of his schtick. I can only stomach so much of it, because it's often so over-the-top, but there is always a grain (sometimes a boulder) of truth. Like his much-maligned gold advertisements where he talks about "gold, God, and gun" and how "you had better hunker down because the worst is yet to come". This strikes the nannys as fear-mongering and ridiculous, when it might be the most accurate prognosis in a Globalist dreamworld.

Beck and his staff are accomplishing some amazing things"¦such as infuriating the government to the point at which they address his comments, humiliating and exposing all things "far left," fighting against "maverick"Â￾ conservatives, and bringing down turds like Van Jones and ACORN.

However, I absolutely guarantee that every single true white nationalist would say that Beck is nothing remotely close to "pro-white."Â￾ In fact, during certain recurring segments of his show, he features a portrait of Martin Luther King on the screen. How sweet. Perhaps his research staff (who are the without question the best in the history of TV News) should put a little more "studies"Â￾ into the life and times of the violent, money-hungry, whore-punching egomaniac, "King Pervert."Â￾

Beck routinely clutches a copy of Mein Kampf (which he claims to have studied extensively) and regularly slams it against his desk is disgust. Yeah, Glen, all white men should detest that sort of "take no prisoners"Â￾ attitude towards racial preservation / racial pride / racial unity. "My Struggle"Â￾ contains dozens of pro-white statements that every single white nationalist would whole-heartedly agree with. I could post many, many quotes from the book, if anybody here at CF doubts that statement.

Beck also makes countless dimwitted, nonsensical comparisons of American citizens who support the Obongo Nation to with those who lived during the Third Reich"¦.suggesting that both are following the same brand of false prophet.

Yeah, comparing a WWI veteran who so adored his nation / race / culture that he lead a national and worldwide revolution against the anti-white PTB across the globe"¦.to an immature, pencil-necked, loud-mouthed, mongrel, affirmative action lawyer who successfully "wooed"Â￾ the most moronic, clueless lumps of human clay to ever exist under the same national border (the American sheeple). Looks like Beck's been reading from the same Marxist history books as his "enemies."Â￾

Overall, Beck is a welcome change from the sleeping-pill TV NewsJews. And yes, compared to absolutely everyone else on TV, he is awesome.

When it comes to the MLK thing, I think he does it far ammo so they cant say he is a racist and he can stay on the air.

 

[guest301]

I know exactly what a fraud MLK is but like jcolec02 says I sometimes invoke his name and percieved legacy to put libs on the defensive and make my point on racial discrimination against whites.

 

[guest301]

However, I do discuss MLK's sordid and mostly unknown history with those people in my life that can handle that truth.

 

[FootballDad]

Yes, in my youth, I remember my high school teachers preaching how wonderful MLK was, my dad's response: "He was nothing but a rabble-rouser".
Most people shape their entire view of MLK on his "I have a dream" speach, and nothing more. If that is his only legacy, then fine, let's actually judge people by the content of their character and NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. But, as we know here at CF, those are no more than empty words.

 

[Deadlift]

When it comes to the MLK thing, I think he does it far ammo so they cant say he is a racist and he can stay on the air.

That's my hunch as well.

But, then again, I definitely don't appreciate the fact that Beck portrays MLK as a "peaceful" man.

 

[Bronk]

However, I do discuss MLK's sordid and mostly unknown history with those people in my life that can handle that truth.

It might be a good idea to share it with those who can't handle the truth as well.

The great irony of MLK is that, if we follow his advice to judge by the content of his character, he's a degenerate and should be brushed aside.

Maybe so Bronk but you kinda have to pick and choose the battles in your life. I try to speak the truth as I know it whenever I can but at the same time I don't want to be branded a racist or marginalized in such a way that nobody listens to what I am saying. I'm definitely known for voicing my right wing opinions with my circle of friends, people at work, church and in the local newspaper I have had many letters printed about various issues. But I have to be careful with the MLK stuff, for instance there are two black SEIU members at my job and one of my bosses is a PETA member and so while I am friends with all three individuals, I wouldn't expect those friendships to last if I talk about MLK's communist associations and his sexual relationships with hookers and the beatings of those women.

Nobody knows this better than me.

And, yes, you are dead right in everything you said.Edited by: Bronk

Why would you want to?

History is full of flawed men whom history has recorded as saints. MLK's namesake, Martin Luther, the Father of the Reformation, was certainly no saint. Nor was John Calvin, who had Michael Servetus burned at the stake. Christians should certainly be the last to condemn a man for his sins; the Bible is full of flawed men who are now considered great - Moses was a murderer; King David an adulterer and accessory to murder; and Noah a drunkard who committed incest, among others.

Looking back I suppose one could argue whether the civil rights movement was a good thing, from various perspectives - even blacks who have since then found themselves enveloped in higher crime rates, higher murder rates, more unwed births, more abortions, higher rates of drug abuse, higher rates of incarceration, etc; compared to having separate drinking fountains and being forced to ride on the back of the bus? I know human pride and dignity would say that despite all the negative things to come out of the civil rights movement, they'd all say it was a great thing for blacks and a positive for all mankind.

Like you said, pointing out MLK's problems to your co-workers won't change their minds anyway. Some of them may know his flaws and admire him anyway. Some like their heroes tarnished.

... for instance there are two black SEIU members at my job and one of my bosses is a PETA member and so while I am friends with all three individuals, I wouldn't expect those friendships to last if I talk about MLK's communist associations and his sexual relationships with hookers and the beatings of those women.

i agree with White Shogun. how can you, and why should you, wish to be "friends" with these people?

apparently your definition of friendship is far different than mine.

 

[guest301]

Jimmy C, first of all welcome back. There are all different kinds of friendship and I am frankly suprised I have to explain/justify the concept to Shogun and you. These are people I work with and in one instance a supervisor/boss. So surface friendships where you exchange pleasantries, jokes and how your day is going is where those are at. I certainly don't count them among my closer friends at work, church or in other parts of my life. It's hard to influence people and make a difference if I had your definition of friendship and limit who I associate with, as a Christian I pretty much try not to have a closed door to anybody no matter how much I may disagree or be disgusted with those individuals. There are some people I avoid when I can and don't go out of my way to deepen friendships with, sort of arms length friendships and associations.

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

I watch Glenn Beck on a fairly regular basis. I listen, sort through the "bombast", and then take the time to form my own opinions.

Sometimes Beck makes legitimate points, but at others he is simply looking for ratings points and purchasers of his many recent published works.

All in all, I would say that he is a necessary commentator when you think about what MSNBC and CNN are doing.

thanks for the welcome, guest301. tis nice to be back.

as for the topic at hand, i refer to those types of people you have referred to simply as "associates," or "business associates" if i happen to work with said individuals.while you (or i) can certainly be friendly WITH these kinds of folks, it certainly doesn't make them my (or your) friend in any real sense. at least notin my opinion. friends are people who mean a whole lot more to me than these types qualify for.

you might feel thatmy pointis a minor distinction, but i think it's a significant one. just something you might think on, if you consider it worthy of a few minutes ponderings.

as for Glenn Beck ... i think it was Electric Slide who put it best when he said something to theeffect thatBeck is the best the mainstream has to offer, and nothing more. he's not the right answer, but he's got more of the right answers than anyone else we're likely to see on the idiot box. as messed up as things are, ifBeck were more spot on, he'd be canned.

oh, and he spells his first name with two "n"s.
