Subject: Will Glenn Beck ever fail?

Written By: Ryan112390 on 10/16/10 at 7:47 pm

I really want Beck to fail, and a renewal of the liberalism of the '30s-70s.
Do you think he and his ideology will fail anytime soon? Can it be pushed back?

Glenn isn't as successful as he would have you believe.  His rallies are only popular when he joins forces with others.  When he tries to hold one on his own they usually fall flat.

Glenn Beck is just a propagandist.  He's a hired gun for international corporate greed. 

The religious fervor he displays is a stalking horse for big business.  You cannot embrace true Christian values and inveigh against "social justice" simultaneously. 

What Beck stands for has already failed.  He is flailing in the quicksand of Reaganomics.  Propaganda pays, so Beck is rich, but the economic system American conservatives have promoted for the past thirty years is a dud for 90% of the population.  More and more of that 90% are realizing it and it is Beck's task to yell "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

Would you buy a used car from that guy?  No, I don't think so.  There are craploads of listeners who wouldn't vote for him for dogcatcher.  He's fun to watch, but we don't want him representin'!  That's the problem.  He'll never get a political career off the ground.  Or will he?

GLENN BECK for PRESIDENT 2012!!!!

It depends on what you mean by fail.  His logic nearly always fails in terms of policy.

Just because someone is popular among a certain group doesn't mean they are successful with regard to ideology.  It just means Beck is successful at recruiting idiots -- of which we've always had a surplus.

For whatever reason, America has always had a right wing that is considerably more conservative than most of the rest of the First World.

I'd like to see Carl Paladino get his own FOX show.  The visuals would beat Beck hands down.

FOX has gone HORSE!
:D

I mean him and everything he stands for--His ideology--fail.
I want his ideology to fail and fail hard.

Well, it does...  periodically.  Laissez faire economics failed with this most recent mortgage crash.  It failed with the stock market crash.

Then again, other ideologies fail sometimes too.

Social conservatism failed when it came to segregation, and thankfully, we got rid of it.

We'll always have right wing nuts though.  That's just a part of being in a society that is extremely individualistic and with a sizable rural population.

He's Rush Limbaugh with hemorrhoids.  That's why he's always antsy and jumping around!
