    Well, Glenn is still in a flux.
    He was pretty main stream just a few years ago.
    He perposfully avoids conspiracy theories.
    So he can stay on TV, IMO.
    He also doesn't want to get called out for being wrong.
    Call him what you will but his basic premise is sound.
    At least as far as the Left goes.
    IMO he takes it to easy on the right.
    Then again the right isn't in power.

    Personally I don't care if he believes in 9/11 or Obama being born in Kenya.
    It makes no diffrence to me.
    Because he attacks the core central issue all CT's worry about most.
    That is ultimatly the Federal Reserve system, international big banking, and globalism.

    Some think he is an establishment Gate-Keeper.
    Mixing truth with missinfo to throw off "real" investigation.

    I'm a big Ron Paul supporter.
    He doesn't believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories.
    However 9/11 CT's believe in him to be honest about it.

    See the diffrence between a conspiracy theorist and Glenn Beck is:
    Glenn Beck actually believes the system works as is.
    Conspiracy theorists see the system as currupt to the core.
    He thinks all this is totally new developments.
    CT's think this is an ongoing plan from one administration to the next.

    Whatever, IMO if your a birther and you believe that investigate it.
    Find the truth, if you can, what could it hurt?
    What is wrong with not believing the governments story on 9/11.
    Investigate find the truth whats wrong with that?
    But when the Governments story is full of holes and black voids it fuels questions.
    The truth is all any CT wants.
    Its OK to be wrong about something.
    Its not OK to believe something
    and not try to do something about it.

    Am I making any sence?

    Not really, maybe "sense", LOL.
    BTW, IMHO, Beck is a giant turd, or maybe a deush, probably both. WTF, we have to take sides, right?

    It wouldn't matter is Obama was an American Citizen or not. He either gets a free pass on everything, or the race card comes out.

    Besides Congress would just change the law and make it retroactive if necessary.

    3 more years of incompetency

    I don't see how it really matters.
    Hillery would be doing the same things he is.
    Yes its illegal but Congress couldn't change the law without amending the constitution.
    Birtherism is pretty low on my list of things going wrong.
    I mean look at from the other sides perspective Birthers all look like rascists.
    They are just looking for any reason to out the black man.
    It can be spun that way.
    So your really wasting your time.
    Pick your fights so you don't come off as a loon.

    Medman you think everyone on the right is a douche.
    Glenn may be a turd but a turd ain't as bad as a douche.
    Hell in my house a turd is a term of endearment.
    IMO Glenn Beck is orders of magnitude better then Hannity or Bill'O.
    Now those two are infact douches.
    I loved the video of Ron Paul supporters Chasing Hannity down the street.
    Like a Damn linch Mob, Oh good times.

    Obama will get 8 years mark my words.
    Because the Republicans will run Generic Republican #1.
    Nothing will change.

    If you can't tell, Cracker is very educated and his opinion is worth a whole lot more than most on this site. He knows his shit. Maybe spends a bit too much time on something he has no control over (such as discussing "politics" with RIU), but hey, its his life.

    Now with that said, make a list of the areas in which Beck is wrong and post that as well.
    I used to be a fan of Beck. I'm a fan of his questions and theories, not so much his arrogance and presentation of those theories.

    Actually Vi here is a link to Beck being fact checked:
    http://www.politifact.com/personalities/glenn-beck/

    He is pretty much just the same as many of the people that post on this site, he just says what he feels like and makes all sorts of very loose connections that don't have to be true, just juicy.

    He is a conspiracy nut, all you need to do it look at what he is talking about and do a search on Alex Jones or some other nutjob hack website to find it talked about prior and more insanely.


    But all that said, that is the beauty of this country, if you have a hook you can make it big. He knew that the right would do essentially what the left did and jumped on it, now he has books, a tv show, ect and is making bank on his form of entertainment.


    But Vi, if you want put up a list of things you want to see fact checked that Beck has said, because it is a lot easier for you to cherry pick his best than it is for us to cherry pick his worst since you watch him, and all we need to do is find a few stories he did to demolish his credibility, you should know the ones you think he is right on.

    My problem with him is he creates more drama than a 13 year old girl. A lot of what he says is total bullshit and the problem is people believe him. He comes with hhuge arching connetions that somehow lead to a point he is trying to make it. He basically lapping up his 15 minutes of fan. I don' think we`ll see him that much longer.

    The main thing I like about Beck is his knowledge of the history of the Progressive movement and his ability to present it in a manner that the common person can understand. If you watched him Thursday night, you'd know what I mean. The guy is dead-nutz on target.

    For further information on the history of the Progressive movement, read Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism." http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=goldberg+liberal+fascism&tag=goo ghydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=4257885295&ref=pd_sl_4pkv1108t 4_b
