Sick Freak Roll Call

Randy · Senior Member

I've listened a few times, but it irritates me how he berates callers, saying "it's all a joke, this is all just entertainment" when someone questions something he says. The guy meets Terry Schiavo's mother and father and he commisserates with them about the death of their daughter, and then we're supposted to think that everything he does is just entertainment. .............right.

Ahh, but it isn't just entertainment. "Its the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment."

Well that gives it away I listen to him and visit the website. I have only seen the TV show through the links from the GB website to some You Tube clips.

The picture of him with Jamie Lee Curtis is so cute. And here I always thought he was joking when he said things like "Chicks dig me. It's a cross I bare."

I've never heard of the guy. I like Michael Medved and he has a radio show that's really pretty decent...

The problem is he picks one topic an hour, and sometimes the topics just aren't interesting to me. I like how he prefers to have callers who challenge him, as opposed to other shows which often only take agreement calls. My least favorite radio show has gotta be Michael Savage. Too angry for my sensitive spirit.

Above is a link to his website if you care to hear about Glenn Beck. Don't look at the Evil Conservative Industries link. It isn't enviromentalist friendly, but it is funny if you can handle his brand of humor.

You might be interested in this article about Glenn Beck that was published in Meridian Magazine a few years ago:

This guy sounds interesting. I'm gonna have to find a local affiliate and give him a try.

I listen to Glenn Beck, and watch his Headline News show every once in a while too.

I also listen to Michael Medved.

THanks for that link, Randy. I love reading his conversion story.

I am puzzled, though, after reading his conversion story, then reading a recent entry on his web site, where he mentions sitting around in a tank top enjoying the last days of summer. According to his conversion story, he's been to the temple. It was my impression that people who have been to the temple don't sit around in a tank top.
On his show today or yesterday, I can't remember which already, he had Mitt Romney and Rush Limbaugh. In the build up to the Rush Limbaugh segment, which I missed, he said that he was going to ask Rush what reasons there were for voting Republican, since they're taking us the same direction as the Democrats. The way he put it was that the Republicans are taking us there in a steam train, whereas the democrats are getting us there in a bullet train. I happen to agree with that assessment. But I'm sure that when Rush came on, he put forth some very convincing arguments to vote Republican. Did anyone happen to catch that?

There is a clip of the audio from the Limbaugh interview on the Glenn Beck website if you want to catch up on that some.

Glenn Beck hasn't quite reached perfection yet. Listening to the show I can kinda tell that somedays he is doing better than others. Like with all of us his testimony is "as fleeting as a moonbeam." Sometimes we all forget that we need to work to maintain it. Then we have to struggle to get it back. In the Meridian interview he acknowledges that he gets caught up in things and doesn't think about how his actions impact the church.
