Question: Is Glenn Beck Mormon?

Go beck, love ya man!!
But, that is the beauty of the Church today. There are so many different opinions, political views, and income levels in our wards and stakes. Unfortunately, most people in Seattle think that all Mormons think like Glenn Beck and agree with every word he says. Fortunately, though, it gives me plenty of oppurtunity to explain to my friends and co-workers that I'm a praticing Mormon who strongly disagrees with Mr. Beck's views and so do most of the Mormons in Seattle.
Actually I wonder if he is an asset or a liability to the LDS Church image.
Didn't Beck pull his book or magazine out of deseret book after some of his supporters found out it was a Mormon store? And doesn't he avoid praise of Mitt Romney for the same reason. "Focus on the Family" sounds nice and all, but that group has turned a very cold shoulder on the Mormon church. Sometimes I think some liberal groups would be more accepting of us than the southern conservatives.
He sensationalizes everything so much that it makes it really hard to listen to, at least for me. Let the story do the talking!!
My hubby is a non member...and the only thing that has really gotten him interested in the church is Glenns down to earth sense of humor. He's glad to know that you don't have to be a stuffed shirt to be a member of the church. (My hubby is a recovering liberal & we have tickets for the comedy tour...can't wait!)
Beck is a cheap demagogue, appealing to insecure people who are afraid of diversity and tolerance and who thrive on an outdated concept of nationalism. The Church struggles to be accepted in many lands. To be identified with Beck's radicalism is not helping.
I'm so proud of who we are.
Then a few days later he has no problem going to the White House Correspondents Dinner with the President as the headline speaker and sit and laugh and clap at the President's jokes.
I guess he wasn't too worried about socialism when he was the beneficiarly of a free dinner.
All you haters need to take a look at the numbers.

I guess liberals can't stand a Mormon being loved 3 times as much as their least speakeasy.
Bears really do . . . in the woods!
Glenn Beck is right on most topics. He has done more to influence the church fo good than 99% of members will.
Someone (thanks, Glen) needs to shine the light on the Chicago-like corruption taking over Washington DC and this country. The average citizen has no clue about ACORN and our tax dollars that are going into signing up phantom voters so Democrats can subvert the democratic (small "d") process.
Harry Reid is much more of an embarassment to the Church than is Glen.
I am proud to have him as a Brother in the Gospel!
