A Comment On Glenn Beck: Short Video

[craig4nr]

Glenn Beck is in it for the money, PERIOD. I actually like Beck as an entertainer. He is great at what he does. I'm also pretty liberal and don't agree with much of anything he says, but he's great at capturing an audience.

I've worked for conservative talk shows before. I can tell you that these guys may essentially believe most of what they say, but the bottom line is they are trying to get yoru attention. Attention = ratings and ratings = money.

OK and again ..... So what?

Beck's not devaluing the dollar, its that socialist idiot from Chi Town who's running the show and spending, leveraging and wasting money to the hilt, along with this democratic congress and thier queen, president pelosi. He is a paid compensator for goldline, so thats why you hear him promote it so much CB. And frankly its good advice.

Just stating a fact. Not saying it's good or bad necessarily. Bottom line is if Glenn Beck, or anyone else in this business thought they couldn't make money by saying the things they say, they'd say something else.

OK so you are saying that all of them? How do you really know any of this?

Is it even possible that he would be as passionate about the constitution as he is on his show even if he was a gardener?

What about a guy that loves sports and is able to make a living at it by either playing it or even being a professional gambler?
Hey, I make $$$ at sports. Some here do. I deal with guys that bet $10 and 100K on games and some truly are fans as well as running a business doing it.


All I am saying is, perhaps he is doing what he truly loves and gets paid for it. I think it's unfair to pretend that you know know differently because you really don't. Would that be a fair statement?

He should run for president. It would be interesting to see if he would do the things he says on his show.

[THE HITMAN]

The only people I watch are Beck, Hannity and Bill O. I am a huge fan if all three. I refuse to watch anyone else.

Seems like OK choices to me.

Seems like a waste of time to me.
