Sovereign rights groups tend to be nut cases and may properly on the govt's radar screen, but conflating them with Islamo Fascism as a threat to the US is horseexcrement.

Glen Beck should no longer be in same thread as Tea Party

He no longer has any credibility in my mind.  Still driving a new Maybach I read while laying off employees:

Glenn Beck went bat-s**t crazy right after Trump won the Republican nomination.  The man is mentally unstable, in my opinion.

Remember how this guy with the financially struggling media company sucked up to Zuckerberg?

Maybe he hopes the Clinton mafia will bail him out?   I dunno what to say about him anymore.

Yes - sadly, I think Beck is essentially a con man, quite possibly with a serious psychiatric disorder.  I say this having attended his "Restoring Honor Rally" in Washington, D.C. at the Lincoln Memorial in 2010.  At that point I thought he was genuine.  
His actions and statements since then have proven otherwise.

The way I look at it is that for year or two he was deep in the zone, operating at a level way beyond his inherent natural ability.  Now he flounders, rather badly.

Glenn Beck is a con man...
« Reply #517 on: September 26, 2016, 05:18:25 PM »
This passage is from the Wikipedia entry for Glenn Beck.  I maintain that he is a (possibly brilliant - or alternatively extremely talented, if you prefer) con man.  He'd give P.T. Barnum a run for his money:

On November 10, 2014, Beck announced on TheBlaze that he had been suffering from a severe neurological disorder for at least the last five years.[44] He described many strong and debilitating symptoms which made it difficult to work,[45] and that he had "a string of health issues that quite honestly made me look crazy, and quite honestly, I have felt crazy because of them."[46] Beck related that a chiropractor who specializes in "chiropractic neurology", Frederick Carrick, had "diagnosed [him] with several health issues, including an autoimmune disorder, which he didn’t name, and adrenal fatigue." Over a period of ten months he had received a series of treatments and felt better.[47] A number of medical experts have expressed doubt about the legitimacy of Beck's diagnosis, treatment,[48] and the credentials of the chiropractor,[49] with Yale University neurologist Steven Novella dismissing chiropractic neurology as "pseudoscience": "Chiropractic neurology does not appear to be based on any body of research, or any accumulated scientific knowledge,....[and] appears to me to be the very definition of pseudoscience."[50]

Trump University should feature a class on that!

Sorry I don't think Beck should be lumped with Tea Party or related matters anymore.  He really sounds like a lost soul:

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/11/07/glenn-beck-says-obama-has-made-him-a-better-man/

Come to think of it he has become so bizarre that I wonder if someone or some people have some sort of dirt on him.........he is just so strange although I always though there was something funny about him.

These latest stories seem small and partly out of context.  I listen some and he hasn't changed much IMHO.  He and some others have to answer for not making a simple choice in this binary election.

The coasts should try flexing their muscles. They can get really hungry and really cold real quick. No food or energy shipped in from the flyover states can clarify things. Perhaps we should just give it a try.

Beck apologizes again
« Reply #527 on: March 08, 2019, 09:33:31 AM »
Well,  apologizing and admitting he is wrong for the second time is better then declaring bankruptcy for sure.

I never liked him much and like him even less now.

I see the Blaze is with Mark Levin now.  :|
