    I think he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I think he is an entertainer, by his own admission, who IMHO may not even believe the things he says but puts on an act to get higher ratings, to keep his audience riled up and to make more money. I also agree with Lewis Black:

    A true American Patriot, who is not afraid of the true fear mongers,who are h-ll bent on destroying our nation through their brainwashed follower who do not have the guts to look the truth in the face.

    And just so the ignorant understand, I have been warning of these things that are happening now, since 2006 long before I ever heard of the name Glenn Beck, or B.H.O.

    Great entertainer. Master at giving his audience exactly what they way. Knows where his bread is buttered: a small (about 3 million...about 1% of the total US population) but extremely dedicated audience that hangs on his every word and more importantly..spends their money on his product.

    The dude is not a political pundit or expert....he is a brilliant entertainer who is not in the least concerned about being accurate...he is concerned about making it what his audience wants to hear.

    He's an entertainer who is looking to cash in. He is using his viewers so he can get even richer. He is on a quest to make a billion dollars. He'll say anything (true or otherwise) to boost his ratings. He is a ratings whore and nothing else. He would adopt a liberal point of view if he could make more money off of it. He's a complete phony- pure and simple. He's 100% phony. Look up the word "opportunist". He is the definition of an opportunist.

    He is not afraid to speak the truth and he tells it in a dramatic way and is entertaining at the same time. me personally I'm grateful for him telling what is really going on in this Country, and yes it is scary what he say's but it is the truth!

    Like most being paid to hawk their opinions on politics he's an opportunist. He released ten books in seven years and even most serious novelists don't do such a thing. He's too extreme for my taste.

    I don't like him. As the anti establishment sentiment became more popular, he jumped on the bandwagon and rode the wave, but I don't trust him. To me he's nothing but an establishment shill. He's diverting attention. Back then in the presidential race, he even participated in the Ron Paul hatchet job by the media. He's a fake. A phony.

    Source(s): I don't watch FOX, MSNBC etc. MSM = brainwashing
