What's up with all the attention Glenn Beck gets on this site lately?

0 votes

As a guest I visit DP almost daily but reading all those Glenn Beck threats made me register to this site today. I'm very surprised and wonder what's up with all the attention Glenn Beck gets on this site lately?
Didn't Beck, Maher, Limbaugh discredit Dr. Paul in the past?
But now they are all on Dr. Paul side!?
I don't trust them. I believe that their purpose is to make you lazy. As long as there's someone from the MSM saying something you agree with, the chances are smaller that people (we) will some day get out on the street and vent their frustration. No need to get involved in grassroots organisations because your ideals are already been discussed on TV. No need to worry, Glenn Beck is representing us....No way! I have worked for a foreign TV station and I know how misleading this medium can be. MSM talking heads regurgitate what they read online or what their corporate sponsors wants them to say. Also, I'm afraid that all the attention Beck and Limbaugh gets on this site will eventually be used against the freedom movement. IMHO, video's and books/articles written by Edward Griffin, Bob Chapman, William Engdahl etc. are far more better sources of information.

I don't trust Glenn

but he is ripening the fruit for us. Welcome thanks for the post.

Welcome, and

I think what is helpful is that we can send what beck is saying to people who will only listen to the talking heads. Here is a talking head saying what we have been saying all along. We have to use them like they use us.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

Those that control the media never let something out...

without wanting it to come out.... for the most part anyways.

Either he is just playing lip service for ratings or has been given the node to allow certain details to come out into public view.

Beck only prooves

Beck only prooves that Ron Paul had the publics interest during the election, which he participated in the censorship, and now that the election is over, it's time to "pander" to all those Ron Paul supporters.

Too late!

WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

He's starting to get it!

I turned him off over a year ago, but I have been catch bits and pieces of his show over the last couple of months. There is a distinct difference in his philosophy. I voted for Bush twice and only after the immigration debate did I start to dig and see him for what he was. People can change their views. Check out the link below for Beck's interview with a member of the American Communist Party.

For You Glenn Beck May Do No Good, However...


As long as he is exposing the truth, and inviting good guests such as Michael Sheuer and Ron Paul on his show, his videos are very valuable for persuading the general public to listen.

I enjoy sharing them with others, because I know they might pay attention to Fox video.

So that's the point I make, for people that are already aware, Glenn Beck does not do much good, however he's great for newcomers.


Ron Paul's Convention Speech

Beck, says things that true, he says things that are lies

He is a actor on a television propaganda show, he says what he says primarily for ratings because ratings mean advertisers, which in turn means a pay check.

He may have seen the light, he may not have we will never know, because he wasn't given that job to help us or to spread a message. He is there to make FOX and himself money. Right now they deem it good business to allow him to say these things. I will know about Beck when FOX fires him and no other networks will hire him, then I will believe more of how he feels and what he believes. As long as he is part of the propaganda team, then I have to assume most of what he says is propaganda.

However, much of what he is saying lately, matches with what I know to be true, does this mean I trust him? No. But, in the short term is is helpful to spread the message.

Thank you Dr. Paul for making me act on what I already knew was right.

I've clicked in and out of this thread three times

thinking, before I post. I agree with you and you said exactly what I think. I don't care who here on DP likes or dislikes Beck. I just know that some people (not us here) but most people I have been talking too for the last 18 months about our world either didn't believe me or did believe only portions of what I had to say, but now that they are seeing it on TV they are opening their eyes. If you planted seeds with anybody like that in the past and now they tune in to Glen Beck he may be useful to our movement over all. Some will tune into Glen and open their eyes and swallow up his information like sheep and follow him blindly as his word is gospel... Some will have their eyes blown wide open.

No matter what - if he is genuine or not there is room for him too. I personally enjoy Beck and listen to his radio show daily, I even get his newsletter and watch his show everynight with my husband. But I am the only one responsible for what I believe and I won't believe any ONE persons version, I make up my own mind after I have done the research....

!!!Truth is treason in the EMPIRE OF LIES!!!

" Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of they day; but a series of oppresssions...pursued unalterably, through every change of ministers, too plainly proove delibrate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery..."
Tho

Give some of these people here a week or two

They'll want Glenn Beck to run for president. It doesn't take much around here. Have you noticed how desperate many here are for a hero?

To be fair

The things I see people saying on this website, the views you have, I would have thought 3-4 years ago that you all needed to be hunted down by homeland security.

I was one of those "the only enemy to our freedom and country is the muslim terrorists" people.

I woke up. And I've witnessed a lot of other people wake up since then too. Perhaps Glenn is waking up a bit himself. Don't be so quick to judge. Be cautious of one's motives, but understand that people do change their views drastically. I went from thinking everything Bush did was perfectly fine, to pretty much overnight changing my mind and seeing him as the biggest threat to our country, a dictator.

It takes alot of patience to wait for people to wake-up

Beck is a barometer for the rest of the country. He's almost 75% there.

I'm encouraged because FOX is parading him around to it's other shows and giving him free reign to speak-out. Granted they are only doing it because his ratings have gone vertical and it boosts viewership wherever he goes.
But it's very big.

He now agrees totally with Ron Paul.

That's a very big step for any MSM talk radio AND TV host.

Even Sean Hannity is moving that way with his "Revolution" message.

Bill O'Reilly has sat up and taken notice of alll the attention Glenn Beck is getting.

If O'Reilly flips and comes around to the Truth that Ron Paul has been saying for decades THAT will be a sign that there's hope for America to revolt and recover.

But in the meantime...Yes I agree, it's very aggravating to listen to Becks self-aggrandizement.

I see Rush as a gas bag blowhard, but the lemmings follow him. He would be another huge victory for true freedom if he spent less time bashing a party and more time teaching liberty.

Great post.

I agree with you. I can't trust any of them after the way they treated Ron Paul.

There is an underlying deception to his act!

That reminds be of a carnival sanke oil salesman.

I think basically he will read and dramatize whatever the directors tell him to. Considering the stock of News Corp is down so much, they will say anything to help the ratings!

Thank you

I'm glad you joined in to make the post, I agree with you whole heartedly. Television is a addictive control device, nothing more.

My Grandfather's best friend told him television was going to destroy society. Well, I can't say, society was destroyed, but in so few hands it has had a negative effect.

You can read a little more about television in general, here, here and here.

Well, Beck deserves this..

..Based on what he said in winter of 2007--there is no reason for anyone in this movement to ever trust him.

Do you trust Ron Paul, though? Because Ron Paul chooses to use Beck as a medium through which to broadcast his message. Beck at least seems to be learning from the process, because he has begun to echo his ideas.

This is called "success".

If Limbaugh, who is, beyond dispute one of the most powerful people in the media, also praises Paul on his radio show, that is success as well.
It helps spread Dr. Paul's celebrity and establishes his credibility with people in the mainstream.

If he is interviewed by Commie CBS News next week, same thing. It doesn't mean Ron Paul has become a Commie, and it doesn't make me a Commie if I applaud him appearing there.

The great goal, at this point, is to spread Dr. Paul's message. Don't you agree?

Eventually, if your ideas are correct, others will start to notice.

If a person kicks out every one that tries to be on their side, they will soon find themselves alone. In fact, to some degree, that's exactly what CERTAIN factions have done to themselves. "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is not a success story book.

When someone is wrong, or an idea is wrong, then call bulls***. When someone is right, You say "I agree", "I second that", or even "Nice to have you aboard". If they go wrong again, you reserve the right to call bulls*** again. But it's suicide to call bulls*** to someone when they say YOUR idea is RIGHT.

I personally try (not 100% successful at it, but try anyway) to NOT go around looking for enemies: I'm sure I'll find them if I do. It's better to look for solutions. Occasionally someone or something might be in your way, then you go around them or through them. But you don't stop your journey and follow them back to their house when the fight's over. They aren't the goal, just the obstacle.
