Glenn Beck apologizes to libertarians, begs them to welcome new people into the movement

Submitted by Tumn1s on Fri, 02/22/2013 - 18:52

Glenn Beck is upset about how he's received by libertarians. He says we're unwelcoming to newcomers and compares some libertarians to Nazi's. He even goes as far to apologize to libertarians for not knowing about liberty sooner... he's begging us to be nice and teach him and everyone else about liberty.

"Libertarians, I'm begging you... please... see the opportunity you have with 30-60% of the nation... people will come your way."

Glenn Beck famously once called Ron Paul supporters terrorists. In spite of that, he makes some good points about how we treat new people like him, who used to not agree with or even be downright mean to us. I was one of them. This is worth listening to.

I though it was very good and seemed sincere

we are smart enough to hold him accountable if he plays any games. For all we know he may have played the game to get in the mainstream. Don't be hardheaded people, any gravy he makes from us joining him will just make our movement grow. Keep an open mind and lets see where this can take us.

He's a Giant, compared to those who listen to him... and that's why he is a problem for the Liberty Movement.

When people find Rush Limbaugh

Submitted by Galt is good on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 19:16. Permalink

too masculine, they turn to Glenn Beck.

The liberty movement does not need Glenn's silly dogma. He needs freedom lovers more than they need him. Authoritarians are afraid of freedom. Real freedom also scares most Americans, which explains the success of Rush, Beck, Sean , and that cram down guy with the high pitch anger. They are fear amplified.

Liberty is difficult for people with no backbone.

Let's be a little less harsh

Personally, I thought that it was an excellent speech. Whether you like him or not, I felt like he made some pretty good points.

I think for whatever reason, Beck had to sell out a couple years ago, but now with his new independent outlets, I think he's slowly returning to where he left off (for awhile there he was sounding halfway decent). Like anything, I'd take it with a grain of salt, but I'd deem it unwise to close the door on someone so begging to join in coalition.

Parties in Europe come together all the time. This is the American equivalent, and we should not disown this opportunity.

Get Real!

I am not saying to trust him. I am not even saying to forgive him, but I am saying we shouldn't go out of our way to shout him down. His message at the moment isn't that bad relative to others in talk radio with that type of audience. Plus the guy has fallen head over heals for Rand, which can't be the worse thing in the world. Now Rand is no Ron, but as of now, I don't seen anyone else on the immediate horizon for our side of the spectrum with any type of chance.

Hmm so after he dogged Ron Paul... Now he flips... Why don't we just back Romney? I would guess he is losing his audience and looking for a new one. Everyone has a choice and mine is not to trust this guy. When liberty had a chance in the 2012 election he attacked it.

acted like they were not sure what to say or do. Glenn spoke over them a couple of times. And what is this about with Rand and saving $500,000.00? Ron returned his Operating money every year as well as return his pay check. Gosh Glenn, get out of the ditch!

the thing about the $500 million is that he had a little mini press conference about it which was pretty cool. Rand is really starting to bring people in I think. Even though I and I'm sure others here are unsure about him I really think that this is the beginning of people really waking up. Either that or its just a chance for the media to have some jabs at trying to help divide the republican party apart the rest of the way and they're loving it.

Disingenuous sanctimonious blunderbuss

Submitted by mdefarge on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 18:48. Permalink

IF he genuinely wished to form a coalition around liberty issues he's now in agreement with, I *think* he might have tried to be just a tad less self-righteous and insulting. I especially loved his stereotyping of Ron Paul supporters and helpful clarification that the founders thought up the idea of liberty, not we ourselves. I found telling how he described his rather vicious and slanderous name-calling of Ron Paul and mis- characterization of his positions as simply "not totally agreeing with him on everything." I found funny his categorically (again) denouncing the Occupy movement after accusing us of being hypocrites and insisting (did I even see a tear in his eye?) that liberty was all about being free to express one's opinions, whatever they are. (And aren't we as proud of him as he is of himself for defending Maher.) What an obnoxious, phony "plea" for harmony. I'm sure if Christie ends up the next president, he'll be playing clips from this show, saying with a sorrowful look and a shrug of his shoulders, "Hey, I tried."

The republican party is crashing so he needs a new platform to profit off of, he could care less about actual liberty. Fuck this man he was apart of Ron Paul losing, the media.
