He plays loose with facts and often prefaces a comment thusly" "I can't prove this, but what if..."
Isn't that called "making things up?"

I am not a big fan of Beck actually, but find it strange that you call him a liar...ok, you didnt say liar but your sure implied that....AND I would ask you to present a situation IN CONTEXT of his not telling the truth ! I assume this should be very easy based on your posts !

Thanks

Beck speaks for himself...it is up to him to support or justify his claims, assertions and innuendos. Surprise...he doesn't.
You ask me to identify when he is wrong? I suggest that you analyze what he says and investigate it for yourself. Otherwise, you seem willing to accept as 'gospel' whatever he suggests or insinuates. That is a sheep mentality.
You tell me where he has been correct...and identify the sources for his claims and your support for them.
I can be convinced...but you have to prove it.
I look forward to your reply.

That will be too late.

Why don't you hold off on Beck for three more years to be fair?

The people of USA didn't vote for Beck for anything, let alone a term of four years with three more to go. He's been harping his stuff for way longer than the current occupant of the White House has been in office.

Most of us -- by both popular vote (including the voters in Florida!) and electoral vote -- voted for Obama as POTUS for four years.

Obama will be held accountable in 2012...Beck will never be held accountable until his book sales, ratings and advertising dollars slump. By the way, his advertising dollars have recently been dropping.

I don't have to give Beck any more time. He's a charlatan and a self-promoter. His interest is his own wallet...his histrionics and crocodile tears are sad and pathetic. I'm sorry that you do not see through him. He's selling books, pure and simple.

This country has problems...but they are surmountable if we pull together and get off the partisan/divisive crap. Beck and his cohorts offer nothing but negative thinking...they prey on people's concerns and disappointments and stoke the fires of fear to build ratings and sell books They offer ZERO alternatives.

Beck was to reveal last Saturday here in The Villages, his plan. He presented bupkus...alluded to a 100-year plan. A 100-year plan defacto doesn't apply to us. Neither he nor we will be here to know if it worked or failed. He has outdone Mao Tse Tung with his infamous five-year and ten-year plans!

It appears that you are not happy with some things in this country's direction. I'm not either. But Glenn Beck's stuff is about him, not us.
Please think this through...for you, for me, for our children and grandchildren.

Here is one for you. For years Glen Beck said that Global Warming was a Liberal hoax and nothing but another scheme to create more taxes and bigger Government.

Now that it can be shown that Beck was correct. What do you say?

So, show me how 'he is correct?'

Guest 11-26-2009 12:05 PM

Absolutely nothing has been shown that he's incorrect. In fact new things are coming to light such as the emails that prove numbers are being doctored and withheld by the supposed experts. Add a little common sense into the mix and the conclusion is simple. It's a scam.

I'll quote myself.

Quote:

Guess what... even if the climate is changing which I'm sure it has been for millions of years, there's not a damn thing we can do about it one way or the other.

We didn't create the earth nor do we control it's climate no more than we can control the weather. There's larger and greater forces at work than wee little humans.

Anyone who tells you different, follow the money. Trust me, there are tens of billions to be made. We'll pay it and others will get it.

Guest 11-26-2009 02:59 PM

So Beck so declares on global warming and smugly says that it's a liberal thing...whatever that is supposed to mean.
I don't believe he has any science background to merit dismissing the work of climatologists around the world.
Let's wait for him to declare that the world was flat but that liberals rounded it out.

Guest 11-26-2009 04:13 PM

It's not a matter of what Beck says, it's pure common sense. We can't control the weather anymore that we can affect the global climate.

What we can seemingly do as humans is scam each other into believing there is a global crisis so that some are willing to pay big dollars to others to save the world.

Millions of dollars in government grants to scientists that fudge the data to keep the pay checks coming, new reasons for massive tax increases that governments collect of course, etc, etc, etc. It is a scam with a very ugly dark side.

If you wish a scientific presentation on the subject of global warming (AGW), I would refer you to Richard S. Lindzen, The Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This presentation, titled Deconstructing Global Warming was made on October 26th of this year.

http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpre...n-talk-pdf.pdf

If you wish your information packaged in a way similar to that done by Al Gore, I suggest the presentation done by Lord Christopher Monckton on October 15th of this year.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stij8sUybx0[/ame]

If after reading Dr Lindzen’s report and watching Lord Monckton’s presentation, you still believe that there is no scientific basis for skepticism about the claims for AGW, then I will wish to discuss some excellent land I have for sale 50 miles west of Miami. Don't just read whatever comes in the newspaper or is broadcast on tv and take it as gospel. Go look up the data on the various NOAA and NASA web sites. Before you buy into Cap and Trade, look at who is backing it and why.

If Fox News is not a part of your news team, you are not getting enough information.
