"(Beck) talks about the Constitution and how important it is to bring it back into America,"... - Article

Where did the constitution go?

Oh, that's right. We have to 'take back America', from...the others.

So we can deny more unemployment to Americans and vote to deny tax cuts to the middle class.

Regardless, this man will never see a penny from me, because he bases his arguments on fiction.

Like the constiution is 'missing.'

Pagan, No one is offering the middle class a tax cut to vote on. Talk about a fiction writer.

More government-hating gibberish from another millionaire pundit who knows how to dupe the ignorant.
There's one born every moment.
Keep buying those books and feeding those million-dollar broadcasting contracts, Neocons.
LOL!

Anyone who gets the libs panties in a bunch can't be too bad. Can't wait to read the comments on this article, better get some popcorn. Pagan has already started things off on the right foot, now lets see some more.

The U.S. Constitution may have not gone anywhere, but we have plenty of elected leaders who aren't tuned in to its principles.

I think Glen Beck serves a great purpose in getting people to think, even they don't think like he does. Thinking, like the Constitution, is another thing too many elected leaders don't understand.

P.T. Barnum warned us about suckers being born every minute. Without them Palin and Beck would have to work and prepare for legitimate jobs in the private sector. Yes, the same private sector that gave us our current economic situation. They would not be able to become millionaires off the gullibility of the public. Where was Beck when Bush and Cheney were taking away our Constitutional rights? Here is the deal, the constitution can hang by a thread regardless the party in power. Wake up--those who are the loudest warning us about protecting the constitution may be the ones to watch out for.

O yes, it was the government, not the much-adored private sector executives, that made all the decisions at the auto companies that led them to make lousy products ... But wait? Did they make lousy products until the government intervened, bailed them out, and got rid of the executives who made the lousy decisions, with the result that they are now producing superior products?

Yet another crazy false prophet worshipped by the crazies on the Right.
These types are produced by the sackful in Utah.
You know the type - you know the individual.

LOL, I'm wondering how Glenn is duping people? Anyone who's listened to him knows he always gives plenty of references and always tells people that they shouldn't just believe him; he tells them that they should go do some research on their own. People are taking him up on that challenge and are seeing that he's not as crazy as the liberal media makes him out to be or as crazy as he sometimes acts on the radio. If he was duping people and lying to the them he wouldn't have the following he does. He's becoming so popular because he's covering topics that interest Americans that liberal media outlets won't cover.

Keep vilifying him though, every time a liberal spreads lies about him a moderate decides to see how bad he really is and learns that they actually agree with him on a lot of issues.

Sorry, Phillip J. Fry,
Not going to fall for the one more false prophet story. Like attracts like and this guy clearly appeals to the nuttiest of the nutty.
But if he makes you feel better, buy every book he writes. I'm sure he needs the dough.
These are tough times, ya know.

The 8/28 rally was a HUGE success for Beck and the conservative movement. This rally (Broke) and others like it will also inject Red Bull like energy into the conservative base as well as independent voters who were also BIG Beck supporters over the past year. This is great what Beck is doing and I have no doubt the intensity will only increase as we near 2012. The clueless left hates Beck ... which is fine... as long as they continue to foam at the mouth and pay attention to what he says... which they no doubt will. GO GLENN!!!!

Belching cow well said. The sign of a great american is one who makes the libs throw a hissy fit

LOL, Liberals on the ones who keep trying to force ideas that have failed over and over throughout history on the American people. The "crazies" on the right are the ones who want to keep the principles that made this country great in tact. Glenn Beck and the people who listen to him generally believe in freedom and personal liberty to do what they want. We don't have a problem with others doing what they want as long as they don't try to force their morals or opinions on us or our kids. In general he right is a lot less hypocritical than the left. If that's crazy I'll take it because I don't want to be sane.

Glenn Beck is nothing but a fearmonger and we have enough of those on the left (particularly when Republicans are in charge) and the right (particularly when Democrats are in charge). He has no interest in starting a dialogue and is part of why this nation is as bitterly partisan as it is.

re:atl134

have you EVER listened to Beck? I didn't think so. You have no idea what you are talking about. I listen daily and I read his books. Oh and I watch him on TV. Beck is smart, accurate and bold. Next time you post... try giving SPECIFIC examples can you? I didn't think so..

What makes him a hero? He is as phony as his tear filled conversion!!!!!

No Mormon should listen to or watch Beck. He promotes anger and fear and very little else. Anger and fear come from Satan and not the Lord. Don't let this man corrupt you into thinking he tells the truth. Truth cannot cause anger and fear.

RE: atl134 | 6:11 p.m

This country is bitterly partisan because people like you who are teaching HATE for particluar persons or groups,

Glenn does not do that, he has never done that,
it is the LEFT that's teaching us to hate this individual or that individual, or that group,

and dividing americans,

Glenn teaches unity and working together to restore this_country back to_its greatness and the freedom we had,

if he hates something its an ideolgy that he believe is dangersoud or destructive to american,

but Glenn Beck has never taught you to hate some one. or some group.

he doesnt hate people, he believes that there're some poeple because of thier ideology and agenda who are dangerous,

but it's the left that_is teaching hate for Beck, or rush, or Bush or palin, or joe_the_plumber, or christians, or mormons, or republicans, or consertives, or neocons, or the rich, or big corporations, or...

it is just one group or person after another that the left teaches us to hate and divides us all us with.

everytime there's a_story about Beck or Palin, etc, there's_a leftest or liberal hatefest here.
