09/13/09 2:09pmGlenn Beck is an entertaining guy, but why is the C of C paying big $ to hear his populist schtick when you can catch it for free on CNN?
Why not bring in a keynote speaker who has some actual expertise on something?

09/13/09 3:11pmGlen Beck is on CNN? Really? And I thought he limited his brilliance to entertaining the Fox crowd of “truthers.” So, so entertaining.

09/13/09 3:15pmThere was nothing “truther” about Van Jones. Glenn Beck exposed his idiotic self professed communism, and he is finally out of whispering distance of Barry O’.
Confused
09/13/09 4:48pmIt is quite amazing how idiots believe lies, and love them for it. Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter, Dr. Laura all are amazing at getting the idiots to believe them. Worst of all is the intelligent morons who don’t have brains big enough to handle the truth.
Look at this link to see what the Bush regime brought us.

09/13/09 6:56pmI want to get into a Fist fight with Glenn Beck, where he wants to or not.
Hey confused...
09/13/09 8:48pmThat’s original, just insult those that disagree with you. You must be one of those tolerant liberals??
And, um, Bush isn’t president anymore. Not sure where you’re going with that link. I don’t know the validity of those stats but everyone knows Bush failed in many areas. That won’t justify BO’s failures either.
no.....

09/14/09 12:19amI find it disturbing that so many Michigan politicians are okay with sharing a speaking engagement with Glenn Beck — e.g., the the Majority Leader of the State Senate, the State’s Attorney General, The Speaker of the House of Representatives. Beck’s rhetoric is divisive and polarizing — it amounts to little more than race-baiting and McCarthy-esque ravings. In the last two months, thirty-plus companies have pulled their advertising from his FOX show because he declared Obama a racist who hates white people. I question what message he could possibly offer to the members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Michigan’s top elected officials?
09/14/09 12:23pmYes thats why I want to beat the snot out of him. I never claimed to be anything other than human. GB is the worse example of one.

09/16/09 10:43amAs an MSU Grad and former editor of a Student Newspaper, I want to salute the 2 student journalists who went undercover as a pimp and prostitute asking Acorn to help them cheat on taxes and use children from El Salvador in a sex trade, and four offices so far are filmed aiding them. These two should recieve a pulizer prize. Glenn Beck is the first TV journalist to show the world videos made by these 20 and 24 year old brave souls. I salute them and all students who treasure Free Speech for all. Kudos to Glenn Beck! Go Spartan’s for inviting him to speak even tho he is controversial.
