What the Heck is with Beck?

I'm not that much of a Glenn Beck fan. I'll watch his show occasionally to see the types of stories that I know won't be shown on other networks. But beyond that, the guy's a bit too preacherish and fanatical for my tastes. But after my Internet went out last night, I started flippin' around my basic cable channels and caught a reairing of Beck's program. He was discussing "Crime Inc." and explained how it related to the Obama administration and other "progressives" he holds close. Pretty friggin' close, too, not just by loose association. The information really intrigued me. So far, I haven't been able to find enough about it on my own to either prove or disprove it. But here's the gist of it. BP screws up. Okay. Obama demonizes them, tosses them under the bus, and is blasting offshore deep-water drilling now. And in order to drive the point home, a panel of "experts" were consulted to read a report and sign off on the hazards. Only this report didn't say anything about wanting to do away with all offshore drilling over 500 feet. The "experts" read it, signed off on it, and then the administration added two more paragraphs after the fact (redundant but bears repeating) that stated offshore drilling will not be abolished for some time. So now the report is being used as an "I told you so" prop. Okay. So, no big deal here. Just another trick from the Obama admin. Even his diehard fans realize the tactics being used here. But meanwhile, after shutting off AMERICA'S drilling, Obama's sending $2,000,000,000 to a Brazlian oil company that plans to drill 14,000 feet below the ocean's surface for oil. Come to find out, this isn't just some run-of-the-mill company. George Soros is heavily invested in this company and stands to make all sorts of money if this company suddenly hits big oil and has no competition. My questions here: Isn't this crap just a little too much to be coincidence at this point? And does it matter to anyone that Beck is the one breaking this type of news? And should this be tolerted, ESPECIALLY BY OBAMA SUPPORTERS, that he seems to be infinitely more devious than Bush/Cheney with the whole Haliburton thing and other nonsense that liberals wanted to hang him for? I mean, if this is true, this means Obama and company will willingly damage our economy to give Soros (who is involved neck deep with these types of deals) a huge payday. And it also means all this "for the planet" crap is just a sham while they're all friggin' criminals in the worst possible way. Can anyone tell me it's not true, or even that it's not as bad as what it sounds like to me? Can one of the Obama fans--or right-wing haters--here explain this away without using "Bush" or excusing it with contorted logic? I don't know about anyone else, but this really ticks me off. Not so much that I know about it, but because I don't see anyone outraged over it or trying to stop it.

I am not really sure how they will spin this, but Barry's supporters will find a way I am sure. I am losing faith in the ability of Americans to think critically. Beck is amusing but he DOES offer up some crap that otherwise would not come to light. So, I will make some popcorn, and sit back and wait for the sheeple to chime in...

I just dont think you will get a LEGITIMATE argument. I'm sorry. But you do know that he will be cramming cap and trade now that BP was kind enough to open the door. Regarding Soros, you have know, I have known, he is corrupt. His ties to our President are corrupt

Here are the sickening facts on just how much payoff George Soros (The Godfather of World Socialism) has earned from the oil spill and Obama's favoritism. Could this be merely a happy coincidence for George Soros, the major financial backer of Obama’s presidential campaign who also has $811 million invested in the Brazilian oil company, Petrobras? Wasn’t it enough of a payback to Soros when the Obama Administration loaned up to $10 billion to Petrobras? Soros, with his far left-wing organization, MoveOn. But most relevant currently is that he has been an enthusiastic proponent of global warming and environmental liberalism. He has urged adoption of a global carbon tax. Could it be more than coincidence that his position is strikingly similar to what Obama called for in his June 14 Oval Office speech on the Gulf oil spill and future energy actions? http://frontpagemag.com/2010/06/22/soros-oil-spill-payoff/

Soros, from how I understand it, made his fortune on being the type of person Obama and other liberals demonize at every conceivable opportunity. Obviously, though, ideology plays a part, as long as you're for X here and Y there, you can be one of the good guys. But the more I find out about these guys, the more they're all the same. They ARE the greedy, capitalist, make-money-at-your-detriment scum they rail against, only they hide it behind it BS causes like global warming and social justice. I think people need to read more than the Coca Cola label and take a look at the ingredients at times. Having our politicians playing favorites with oil companies to drive OUR companies out of business to make Soros rich is beyond all comprehension to me. Then again, so was outsourcing 700+ BILLION dollars worth of legislation to a radical group to write. And so is playing politics with our border while our states are dying. I'm not the type of guy to throw the "evil" tag on somebody or scream "IMPEACH" at the top of my lungs. I usually just call them all schmucks and go on about my day. But this takes the cake. It's so blatantly out there that it's really unbelievable. This same circle is connected to all types of stuff. Folks can call Beck a loon if they want, and when it comes to the way the guy acts, I agree. But until somebody can proove this stuff wrong, I'm content that he's the only person in mainstream news exposing corruption on a level we've never seen before in America. Every piece of legislation and every action by the President suddenly makes perfect sense.

I would have to agree with you. There is no reason that other newscasters cant be as honest as he is.
