Glenn Beck gets heckled at a Hitchcock film, others say he didn't, he cries...

You were defending your post defending Beck. I don't think he advocates violence - but I do think he's a nutjob. At one point on his show he was comparing everything he could to Hiter/nazi party.

What is wrong with comparing? Comparing and equating are totally different.

Over time, I became far less offended by Beck's political commentary but flat out alarmed by his conspiracy stuff.

What drives me nuts with Beck is I often agree with him, but he doesn't go deep enough (maybe because he can't :)). Instead of explaining why Thomas Jefferson was right about something he'll just say "Thomas Jefferson said this, therefore it's right" as if everything the founders did was consistent and proper. Instead of Beck simply dismissing liberal agenda by saying, "it's unconstitional" he should explain why rule of law is important.

Because of the lack of substance when Beck invokes the words "founders" and "constitution", people who don't like Beck's ideas start to devalue the founders and the constitution.

Maybe some of his stuff is kind of far out there but he is also dead on, on some things. Van Jones and Anita Dunn are just two examples.

His show felt like it was entertainment. I want the number of his acting coach.

FYP. His acting and preaching voice are just too sappy for me to listen to for long. A lot of the time, though, he makes some good points, even if some view it as being divisive.

Yeah, but you claimed he's made incendiary comments. I think he's a nut myself, but I don't see him inciting people to riot. You think it's justifiable to "pie" and shout-down those who make incendiary comments? What if it were Al Sharpton making the incendiary comments? Would you condone college students not allowing him to speak?

My bad. You used the above bolded phrase as a replacement for incendiary. You're right, he hasn't to my knowledge called outright for violent acts but his speech does qualify as incendiary.

But we've already discussed how any particular figure that has supporters is an incendiary figure. That is not really the damnable charge that you are trying to use it as.

What incendiary claims has he made? I've seen his tv show and heard his radio broadcast a few times and have never heard him say anything that made me say, "Wow, that guy is extreme". The way he presents topics is goofy and stupid, but I've never known him to be overly controversial.

Incendiary Claims. You have a few examples?

You are just as insightful as LG. Care to fill us in on any of the instances where Beck has used incendiary speech?

Seems you saw it as a damnable charge that needed your defense. And since it appears being indendiary can be accomplished by anyone talking to anyone eles, why so upset at Beck being labeled as such?

like what?

Has Beck ever said anything so incendiary that people died as a result? Has he ever whipped supporters into such a froth that they broke into a private business and torched the place?

Just because something doesn't lead to death and destruction doesn't mean a good thing, sir.

I am just defending the facts. Nice vague reference, care to elaborate.

You Should have seen his series with David Barton of WallBuilders | Presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious, and constitutional heritage.

Beck is incendiary in that he excites his supporters. He is not incendiary by way of insighting civil unrest.

Those are two valid definitions of the word. I looked at the context of what LG was saying, and assumed he meant the version with a negative connotation. I was simply being silly with my example of Richard Simmons being incendiary.

So, like everything Beck says, I was right in my particular usage of incendiary?

-Is it anything like Obamas pastors comments about America chickens coming home to roost,
'-or BO's comments about the cop that acted stupidly when he arrested his professor friend without any knowledge of the details,
-or that people in rural communites cling to their guns and bibles,
-or Eric Holders assertion that the Black Panthers did not do anything wrong when they hung out at a polling site intimidating white voters,
-or when BO said that the Arizona law would persecute family that were going out to ice cream and have to carry & produce their papers.
-or how about passing healthcare when all the polls showed more Americans were against it than for it.

Is that who your talking about,... oh my bad your not talking about people actually running our country and passing/changing laws that affect our life and liberty , your main concern is a guy with a TV show, sorry i got mixed up there, i see your point though. Very worrisome that Beck is.

I assumed , by the way they talk about how decietful, evil and greedy he is , that he had to be referring to the Arsonist definition of the word.
