    No, he isn't educated and smart enough.

    He's a secular WASP with a high school education that converted to Mormonism.

    Don't you mean moronism?

    If he is an example of the quality of US high school education, no wonder the country is in the shit.

    Well . . . he can't be all that thick judging by the way he plays his audience (who really are the thick ones) and rakes in the dough

    I think his financial success saysmnore about the gullibility of the US public than it does about Becks' brilliance.

    he's crafty, though.

    i may have already posted this, but did you ever see the movie "a face in the crowd"?

    the main character, 'lonesome rhodes' and beck are eerily similar

    And I think the election of Obama says more about the gullibility of the US public than it does about Obama's rethoric abitility.

    Beck fills a needed role in society for some people.

    Telling those that can't, won't or don't think for themselves what they should think, do and say.

    ^^Good video

    Beck stokes the flames and then reaps the benefits because he is working for (1-8xx) Goldline. Like I have said before,……..they are rubes (some right wingers),……take the money and run Beck before your followers finally catch on.

    We're talking about Glenn Beck here, the guy with the 'show' on Fox News.

    That's hardly likely to be his audience demographic is it. So no, I don't mean anything of the sort. You catch his latest show, Jet?

    no, that's not what i mean....and i can only hope you're not so daft as to think so but that you're simply trying to score imaginary points on an internet message board by being disingenuous.

    the point is that he's working for an alleged news organization....and he's using rhetoric that is intended to get his viewers to buy gold.....and he directly profits by it because of the advertising on his program.

    it's unethical.


    let's say that several times per week CBS, CNN or ABC included over the top warnings about some sort of flu or virus in their nightly broadcast.

    let's call it the WFOD-virus.

    "head for the hills the WFOD virus is spreading uncontrollably!"
    "WFOD is going to be the end of america!"
    "WFOD is going to kill your children!"

    "ahem....and now a word from our sponsor......the WFOD anti-virus"

    do you still not see the "real ethical problem here"?

    Actually, many viewers are Independents and are libbies, those welfare gits and protesters who blindly follow along, believing bigger and bigger libbie govt will pay their way.
