Beck Reacts to Gingrich Calling His Criticism ‘Bologna’: ‘The Audio Speaks for Itself’

Glenn Beck has regularly said during this election season that Newt Gingrich is a big-government, progressive Republican. One of the many pieces of evidence he uses to support his claim is that Gingrich has praised Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt as great presidents and great politicians. He’s even called himself a type of “Wilsonian,” a reference to Woodrow Wilson. But on a radio show in Florida Monday morning, Gingrich called that claim “bologna.”

“I don‘t know what Glenn Beck’s problem is, but he obviously has never read my writing,” he told 970 WFLA’s Jack and Ted. “I’ve written three novels about George Washington, four novels that involve Abraham Lincoln.”

He went on to call Washington the “greatest” American president and Lincoln the second greatest. As for FDR, “If you measure his World War II achievements, FDR is an extraordinary leader.” He noted that he disagrees with FDR’s liberal policies, such as the New Deal.

You can listen to that interview below (the Gingrich and Beck talk starts at the beginning) and get a transcript over at Glennbeck.com:

When Beck heard that interview, he couldn’t believe it. In fact, played the audio of Gingrich praising some of the controversial presidents.

“The audio speaks for itself,” Beck said before playing it:

Later, he even went on to say the Gingrich was “lying” to voters, and said that he will be inviting Gingrich back on to his radio program for another interview so that he can explain the contradictory audio.

      Perhaps I am missing something, but I will take Newt any day over Romney.

      Newt is far from my favorite, and I hate some of the things in his past (like the divorces). He is no Reagan, but I can vote for him.

      In a debate, he will destroy Obama. Romney reminds of McCain, and we see how that went.

      Newt was much of the brains behind holding Clinton at bay back in the 90s with his pact with America.

      Once again, Newt is not my favorite. I would much rather have Demint, JC Watts, heck, I would vote for Tim Tebow. I will not vote for Romney though.

      The Black Tidal Wave is rising and its for Santorum. Here is an article describing Santorum’s appointment of a black preacher as the honorary chairman of his Florida Campaign. Santorum spoke at the pastor’s church and received a resounding applause. http://blackquillandink.com/

      I hope the black community is waking up to the destructive progressive / liberal policies and how Obama has put this destruction on steroids not just on the black community but the nation. If this becomes a growing trend, Santorum will do something that no one has been able to accomplish, initiate the trend of black conservative voters in large numbers. The irony would be that the voting sector that put Obama in office would be the same one that drives him out.

      I am sure you guys saw this, but here is Newt being revealed as he planned his way into “Taking over the World”, well, he didn’t say that, but power hungry inept spineless, fearful and angry men all follow the same route, just like Hitler. Sorry for the comparison, but it is very true, saying exactly what people want to hear but having no practical way based in reality, just like the intellectual elites of the left- They have no plan on really doing it, it is just an articulated answer for when being challenged and also serves as mean to turn the argument back on he opposes him. Newt will always blame everybody, well, that is, except the people that listen to him, because “you” aren’t one of them.It is just everybody else who doesn’t support him. Seriously, these are socio-paths we have as congressmen and senators. Seems after Obama, the republicans want one as president for themselves. Makes me want to puke. Flipflopper, how about Baptist, Evangelical, to Roman Catholic. Seems whatever is popular to which ever wife he is with. The man is scared to death to be alone. Sorry, I forgot all I wanted to do was post a video .. haha those who haven’t seen it, this will tell you everything about Newt. Take notes, write down the books he promotes like “ The Third Wave”, research the authors, which Newt contributed as well, look up the men who are his Super PAC-record of buying politicians, lastly, Arcapita Sharia compliant client – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq4lde9wghI

      What do you see different between Newt Romney? I seem them as the same, progressive. 

      I can’t vote for either Romney or Newt, neither have integrity, honor, or consistency and both have flip flopped more than a fish out of water. Both are too much like Obama. 

      With that said, Santorum isn’t any better. He has lobbyist ties and believes in Government intervention in social areas which is progressive as well as his progressive foreign policy. 

      Newt Romney Santorum is nothing but a progressive party. All 3 are progressives and just differ on how Government will intervene/dictate our lives and only differ with Obama on how Government will intervene in our life. None of the mentioned above want to take Government out of individual lives and reduce Government. 

      Newt Romney Santorum will more of the same. 

      I’m for Ron Paul. He’s the only conservative running.

      Wow! Here is just a brief list of Newt’s flip flops. 

      Newt Flip Flops

      -For cap n trade, now against it
      -For mandated health insurance, now against it
      -For treating terrorists like criminal, now against it
      -For “Cost saving end of life treatments, now against it
      -For foreign aid, now against it

      -Ignored withdrawal from UN bill as speaker, now for it
      -Ignored bill to audit Fed as speaker, now for it
      -Supports a North American Union with Canada and Mexico
      -Wants to “fundamentally transform the Government”
      -Took millions from Freddie/Frannie that destroyed the country! 
      -Only Speaker to ever be disciplined for ethics violations

      Newt is a progressive, whether that upsets you or not. You are upset because you associate best with Newt’s policies making you yourself a progressive and that upsets you to realize such truth. 

      If you look at all Newts solutions, they all consist of Government being the solution. Newt’s past remarks accuse him and his current remarks prove him guilty of such accusations. 

      CONSERVATIVES do not advocate Government being the solution for anything. Only PROGRESSIVES do. 

      Newt will continue BO‘s policies just like BO continued Bush’s…..

      C’mon-
      Who are you going to trust-
      Sarah Palin or Beck ?
      Palin is obviously, rooting for Newt…her enthusiasm speaks volumes.
      Beck & Palin always seemed, like kindred spirits
      but with this issue, it’s hard to justify.

      Beck has been vicious toward Gingrich.

      In that previous interview, Beck asked questions & Gingrich responded.
      Gingrich maintained his composure, while Beck went ballistic.

      Set aside the politics, Beck’s behavior was atrocious, on ANY level.
      I was shocked & saddened.

      Love Beck and appreciate all his goodwill, aimed at resurrecting the country,
      but this episode was a total disappointment.
      I just finished reading his latest book on Washington
      I‘ve read Gingrich’s historical novels, including those on Washington
      & was so surprised, to hear Beck battle with someone,
      who appreciates American History, as much as he does.

      He owes Gingrich & his audience an apology.
      Knowing Gingrich, he would graciously acknowledge & accept it.

      When people, who know nothing about Beck, excoriate him,
      I have always stepped in and defended him, it was easy to do.
      Lately, I don’t know how to defend him, he‘s someone I don’t recognize.

      It’s fine, if he doesn’t like Gingrich, as the nominee.
      However, Beck’s rage at Gingrich is not only disappointing, but disturbing.

      Chill out, Beck-
      keep talking up your guy, but stop frothing at the mouth,
      maliciously, disparaging our guy.

      I totally agree that Santorum is the best candidate.

      However Newt did get the Republicans the majority with Contract with America he did get us welfare reform that lowered the number of government employees.

      Beck looks at Romney the wrong way I fear. Sure Newt admires the wrong politicians but why is that? It is because they got a lot done. Newt got a lot done at speaker so he did learn from these men.

      He is somewhat progressive but he is not for the same progressive goals Obama is. As Chris Matthews said Romney is moderate liberal Obama is Center liberal. Those two are the same. Newt is much much different.

      Santorum is far better than Newt on the issues and perhaps more conservative but his record is also very troubling in some ways as well, not as much so as Newts. Thing is his national name recognition is low he has no strong management experience getting things done. His exit from the Senate makes me wonder if he can handle the Press. I pray Newt chooses him as his VP. But I see no way he wins the nomination.

      My plea is Beck will take another look at Newt especially his conversion story and how it affected his political views. I think the progressive rants will hurt Beck as it is hard to understand and no where black and white. Newt is very different than Obama to say they are the same is hardly believable. Democrats hate Newt with a passion for real.

      If “we” fear Gingrich because we truthfully call him the progressive he is, you must fear Obama for calling him the progressive he is. 

      Instead of calling names and insults, which are tactics in Rules for Radicals composed by a Progressive, why don‘t you explain to us why Newt isn’t a progressive? 

      Yes, I fear Gingrich because he has supported mandated healthcare, has no morals, believes Government to be a solution, and has no plans to cut Government at all nor any plans to help our economy or dollar value. 

      Any patriot who wants a country ran by the Constitution, which Gingrich believes is outdated, would fear Gingrich as President because Gingrich would continue the destroying of it. 

      I’ll be waiting for your evidence Newt is not a progressive. And of course you like West, he voted to increase the debt limit (more spending) and voted for the patriot act and NDAA all of which are progressive policies.

      Glenn “Phony” Beck has his own agenda and Newt isn’t in it. Beck is the biggest phony on radio. He says many things that are meant to lead you all to buy his books, pay for his back stage access, and keep you under his control. It seems some of you are doing just that. I used to be you, until I woke up to the phony actor Beck. Newt doesn’t kiss up to Glenn so he attacks him. Everything he says about Newt is taken out of context. Old videos that Glenn digs up to fit his needs can sometimes be views that have changed by the person on the video.
      Ask Glenn how he wrote three or four books in less than two years. Have two daily shows, make many personal appearances and still do it all. ********!!!! He never wrote a word of any of those books!!!! Ask him to explain that. They will ignore you just like they’ve ignored all my requests for answers to some of the same questions.

      No Ranger, you are not missing anything. Lately here at the Blaze there are two basic camps; The Ron Paul or Santorem team. They will only vote for their one choice, or they will write them in, in the General election. Glenn Beck is in that camp. Then you have everyone else, those of us who will take whomever gets the nomination. We have been called sellouts, neocons, progressives. Just because we see a marginal victory as not great, but better than what we have now.

      Either Mitt or Newt, By my standards their about a six on 1-10… But when compared to Obama they quickly become a TEN!

      I am just old enough to remember when liberal democrats controlled everything, and I have seen that the war against liberalism is slowly bearing fruit. Now is not the time to lose on the principle of not settling. Elections are a choice. Plain and simple, seldom do we get exactly what we want in life.

      Newt can’t win, he’s not a likeable guy, he can’t get Reagan Democrats, he can’t get Independents. He’s too polorizing. His co workers even said you never know what he’s going to do..

      For those that wanna see him debate BHO so bad, he only gets 3, BHO will never agree to the 3 hour Lincolin/Douglas debate. Are you voting for a debater or a leader..

      Newt, plays the victim card like BHO plays the race card.

      Newt siad in the South Carolina Debate, we’ve all suffered from Personal pain. Yeah Newt we have, but we all din’t cheat on our spouses. Character matters.. The President Represent WE THE PEOPLE

      Everyone should ask themselves a few basic questions.

      If Newt was a progressive in the ‘90’s why would Washington run Newt out?

      Why is Newt still getting kicked around? I bet if he was a progressive/socialist he would be king.

      Newt’s conservatism was/is the reason.

      As a Santorum supporter I would equally be honored to vote for the great American patriot, Newt.

      BTW Beck has lost my respect, he’s no better than the rest of MSM.

I do not want any person who would have sex with Pelosi. I mean not Clinton definition, the dictionary type (any touching resulting in sexual gratification). Who will raise from no Pelosi sex to… no regulation on my fecal stains (skidmarks) in my home toilet. Not a public toilet because I think it should be Federally mandated for all to carry a toilet brush for public restrooms. Come on get the bidding started this is for the GOP baseline of morality.

Yeah he’s real creative… at covering up his lies, he calls them balogna that’s pretty creative. I’m getting sick to death of you progressives coming here on the blaze and masquerading as conservatives just to muddle up the conversation with your lies and misinformation. You have to be a plant from some place like media matters, there’s no other explanation. You’re a progressive and you are just framing the argument again so that no matter who wins the progressive agenda is advanced. Thank GOD that Glenn is here to set the record straight. You hate him for that and that‘s why you slam him and accuse him of being silly sarcastic but if it wasn’t for him Newt could get away with reversing everything that he’s ever said and no one would know.

      My name for people who follow Newt without caring about his blatant lies. “Newtonians.”

      I just want to point out I don’t disagree with a lot of his “current” statements, it’s that he blatantly lies 75% of the time.

      When I watched his speech on Saturday night he lied at least three times I was aware of. He calls judge Fred Biery a Dictatorial religious bigot. The decision did seem a bit out of line, but it was far from dictatorial and it was within precedent.
      http://www.spiritual-politics.org/2011/12/gingrich_v_judge_biery.html

      He keeps saying that he balanced the budget while speaker, he says it over and over, even though politifact has already showed him lie about this.
      http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/dec/16/newt-gingrich/newt-gingrich-repeats-claim-about-his-record-balan/

      Finally he keeps blaming Obama for Canadians sending their oil to China like they hadn’t planned on doing it already. It is a flat out lie to say they are “now” planning on doing it. They have been planning it for years
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enbridge_Northern_Gateway_Pipelines

      He is continually shown to be a liar, and it is more and more difficult to trust a guy who can’t seem to make a true statement.

      These aren’t even the worst statements he has made, this might be the worst: “If the Court makes a fundamentally wrong decision, the president can in fact ignore it.” What!? Goodbye separation of powers under a Gingrich administrat

      When questioned about the accusation from a wife of 18 years that Newt wanted an open relationship with his mistress of 6 years, Newt calls the question “despicable” and manages to make the questioner sound like the bad guy.

      When questioned about direct quotes supporting progressive ideals, Newt simply dismisses them calls the very act of questioning of them “baloney.”

      When questioned on lobbying for Freddie Mac, he claims he was a historian. When questioned on ethics charges while speaker, he says they were dismissed and infers that because they were, they must have been without basis (despite being fined, reprimanded, and forced to resign). He uses technicalities to get around his record of corruption and acts like he was actually a principled politician.

      We already have someone in the White House who is very talented at dodging questions, reshaping his record at will, and giving feel good answers. When it comes to corruptibility, Newt makes Obama look like Steve Urkel.

      Both Newt and Obama will attempt to win on an appeal to spite. For Obama, it is the rich. For Newt, it is the media. How about someone running on ideas?

      The bottom line is that Newt does what is good for Newt. Why would anyone want to trust a serial adulterer with the highest office in the land? Has the moral fiber in this country been so highly degraded? Will we cut off the nose to spite the face?

It is obvious to me that Glenn violated that and is painting with a very broad brush. He seems to want to show how much he has learned about history that he indiscriminately throws candidates into buckets… this guys is just like Teddy Roosevelt, Jackson, FDR, Wilson, etc. just because the person relates to something about the individual. Of course in Glenn’s mind he assigns the worst case. Well, when those same people or other politicians compare themselves to Lincoln, Reagan or Bush does he make disparaging remarks? No! Well, Lincoln, Reagan or Bush have had equally bad policies to Teddy Roosevelt, Jackson, FDR, Wilson, etc. I’m getting sick of Glenn, and I have been a huge Glenn supporter.

      P8triot, Don‘t let them tell you that Newt can’t win! Check these numbers out…

      Bill Clinton, in a New York Times poll in October 1992, just weeks before the election, found 33 percent of voters with a favorable view of him but 39 percent unfavorable. Mr. Clinton won despite being a candidate whom voters were slow to develop a liking for.

      A more unambiguously favorable precedent for Republicans is that of Ronald Reagan. At this point in 1980, Mr. Reagan’s ratings were 38 percent favorable, against 39 percent unfavorable. However, his favorability ratings were fairly strong by mid-summer 1980, and he soundly defeated Jimmy Carter later that year.

      The fact that the media and the Republican establishment keep telling us Gingrich can’t win, tells me that they fear him the most!

      Bottom Line: Newt is in no way similar to, nor in any way worse than Obama – period. My fist choice is Santorum, but I profoundly would not be opposed to Newt. Aware of some of the things Newt has said in the past and done in the past, but that was 15 plus years ago. He may be a pragmatist and has had some ideas that have been out of line, but we need a house cleaner to clean out all the garbage Obama has deposited all over Washington D.C. and everywhere Obama’s stinky feet has tread. Newt can definitely clean up garbage, and there is a lot to clean up.

      Watched Beck’s video. If Newt still thinks like he spoke in the excerpts, we have a serious problem with Newt. It is obvious that some of those comments were at least 15 years ago. However, if also appears that some of them were made since the year 2000 and possibly in the last 5 years, which would indicate that Newt would very likely still have some pretty serious progressive bones in him – not a good thing. that being the case, still don’t think he would be as bad as Obama, but may well be not too far behind Obama in his progressive thoughts and potential actions.

      Would counter Glenn when referencing Andrew Jackson, in that Jackson was probably as well as if not better known as fighting in the War of 1812 than the Indian fighter. In addition, Jackson was known for taking on the bank in Philadelphia, a private bank run by a Mr. Biddle, and in effect broke the bank and basically decentralized it to where the banking was accomplished on state levels and put back at least temporarily on the gold standard. Doesn’t seem progressive to me. Jackson was definitely an “action man”.

      Newt would be an action man. Not necessarily a bad thing to be an action man, provided his actions would be to tear down the mess that Obama has created and to implement some of the domestic agenda that Ron Paul has suggested. Still could be taking a big chance with Newt.

      The better option of the now candidates would still be Santorum.

      As quoted from your post above-
      “You have heard what I have been hearing for over two months now. Glenn has come at Gingrich
      & I have to say Glenn has been harder on Gingrich than Obama.”

      Yes, your distraught is quite apparent.

      After that upsetting Gingrich interview,
      I tried to reason, that something else was going on with Beck,
      sending him off-kilter, so I waited & didn’t say anything.

      But, he has railed against Gingrich, non-stop-
      I can deal with the politics part of it, I get it, he doesn’t like him.

      Instead, of wasting high-energy tearing Newt apart,
      the sensible thing to do, would be to rally around his preference.

      Disturbing, even more, is that he’s barraging Gingrich,
      on his personal life, when NOBODY cares.
      ABC bombed with their hit-piece on the ex-wife,
      Gingrich was the benefactor of public outrage at the media & personal sympathy-
      & they voted for him in S.C.

      Yet, Beck is like a child,
      falling on the floor, throwing a tantrum,
      continuing to berate Gingrich’s personal life.
      He says he’s NOT judging, but he’s judging full-throttle-
      THAT is NOT his place,
      ONLY Gingrich & God knows what‘s in Newt’s heart,
      it‘s not anyone else’s business.

      He needs to concentrate on the politics, not the personal.

      It truly, makes me sad, he’s such a smart, sweet passionate guy-
      almost, on the verge of a breakdown.
      Still, I wish the best for him, sure, Newt would, too !

    Obama is a showman and so is Gingrich. Ive felt so letdown by guys like West and Christi. We begged, and they didnt want to fight for us. So get your popcorn out and be ready for seconds.

      Romney is having a difficult time getting it down because all media outlets are hitting Romney the most with negative media and on top of this the Obama campaign has been hitting Romney hard. I am surprised that he has been running either first or second.

Newt has the strongest pro Israel stance than any other candidtae, but that doesn’t matter to you anymore does it? All the progressives/socialists/media/Rinos are trying to destroy Newt, but that doesn’t make any bells go off in your head does it? Beck has a horrible past, a lot worse than Newts past, but that doesn’t meen anything either right? Beck is almost completely silent on Romney, and I don’t even remember reading one bad story about him on the blaze. Beck is losing it,and you have become nothing more than a Beckbot, just as bad as a Paulbot. I have gone from an unhappy Beck fan, to not a Beck fan, to just wishing Beck would shut his dumbazz up, all within 2 weeks time.

      You have got to be kidding me about Romney. You must have completely missed what he started in Iowa. Did you sleep through that little Romney gore fest? He went negative instantly against Newt because Newt was surging. His SuperPAC dished so much dirt out that it killed any hope of this contest being a genuine battle of ideas. Instead it has now gone into the gutter. And what was his response when Newt called him on it? Oh if you cant stand the heat etc etc and oh my I have no control over what they say. Yeah right!!

      Tonight Mr Sweet Mitt was called Newt and Influence Peddlar. Now that’s a nice thing to say about your opponent right? So do not try to take the moral high ground here. Newt tried a debate about ideas and Romney took him into the gutter. Romney is a charlatan, a total fake, a nothing big money rino mouthpiece. He is not only not conservative he is a non-conservative.

      @ Full

      Thanks for the link. Interesting that Newt calls himself a “Reagan Conservative”!
      I cut & pasted for those who don’t like to follow links:

      In 1987, then Congressman Gingrich co-sponsored, with the pillars of the left, Rep. Barbara Boxer, Rep. Henry Waxman, Rep. Chuck Schumer, and the late Rep. John Murtha, H.R. 1934 that would have reinstated the Fairness Doctrine. The bill was vetoed by then President Ronald Reagan. Newt has never attempted to cover up his vote instead he offered this excuse on his website :

      In 1987, the three left-wing networks plus PBS/NPR dominated media, and talk-radio was still nascent; many of America’s most influential conservative activists, including the American Conservative Union and Phyllis Schlafly, supported the Fairness Doctrine at this time.

      The rapid growth of conservative viewpoints in the media in the last 25 years is a testament to the power and innovation of the conservative movement once power is taken out of the hands of the elite networks and put into the hands of consumers.

      In other words, he supports the Fairness Doctrine, and is against free speech, when it helps his cause. This isn’t his only brush with hypocrisy. In 2007 he wrote a book called Contract with the Earth, and recently removed a chapter with a distinguished climate scientist in it’s sequel that is due out in 2013

      “The Bohemian Grove — which I attend, from time to time — it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine … ”

      Why would Newt lie about such a thing? Search Newt Bohemiam Grove and you will see that he is a lier. Also, he seems to be a serial cheater and egomaniac that is no friend to the constitution.

Gingrich isn’t that man.

      Another thing that I really have a problem w/ are all those people who are saying GB isn’t hammering Romney b/c they are both Mormon. The thing is, GB has hammered Romney and said several times how he doesn’t like his past record. GB is endorsing Santorum and I believe he’s the best alternative to the progressive, life-long politician Gingrich; the poor record Romney; and the Master of Paulbots, Ronny P. Grow a brain and stop believing Gingrich‘s words since Obama came into town and pay attention to Gingrich’s actions and his audio from the last 2 decades.

      Ron Paul does NOT WANT TO LEGALIZE DRUGS — he says it’s a STATE right.

      Re: drugs, porn, prostitution
      The Republican National Committee pulled a dirty trick on Paul. According to the Times, Paul was running for Congress against fellow Republican Greg Laughlin, whom he eventually defeated in a runoff. During the campaign, an Austin marketing company called people and asked respondents who favored Paul if they would still support him knowing that he was in favor of legalizing drugs, pornography and prostitution. The real truth, the Times noted, was this: “Dr. Paul said he only favored repeal of Federal laws on drugs, pornography and prostitution, leaving states to prohibit them.”

      why do people keep saying that santorum cannot beat obama… he could go toe to toe with obama and rick actually has a plan that would create jobs, not done by the government taking more money and buying short term work…no candidate is going to be george washington… BUT NEWT IS A LIAR…. HE SAYS WHAT EVER IS OPPORTUNISTIC AT THE TIME… he wants big govt solutions…. IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE TEA PARTY STANDS FOR…. DEAR TEA PARTY, YOU MAY NOT GET EVERYTHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN A CANDIDATE, BUT NEWT IS JUST LIKE OBAMA….. HE IS AWSOME AT APPEALING TO YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFES, while being on two sides of a position…. EVEN THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT, ROLE OF GOVERNMENT, in an individuals life…… TEA PARTY WTF… what was it you stood for again….. WOODROW WILSON PROGRESSIVE POLICIES, no more like THEORDORE ROOSEVELT REPULBICANS… ohh still progressive… NOT SMALL GOVT… WAKE UP, ITS IN YOUR PARTY TOO

      I feel like we are all arguing which 1 of the 4 Stooges (counting Shemp) do we like the best (or dislike the least). All 4 of them are clowns with problems that can be criticized both fairly and unfairly. Shemp doesn’t stand a chance, and probably knows it but hopes that by staying in long enough he’ll get enough delegates that he gets to ramble on at the convention for awhile. Curly is bound to drop out after he realizes that people are getting tired of his antics and have stopped paying attention. Then it comes down to Moe and Larry, both of whom have gone the distance in their careers, but whose acts have holes that can be exploited by each other first – and then Obama bin Lyin later. Where is the gong when you need one?! For that matter, where is a serious anti-Obama candidate when you need one?

    Glenn It seems with all the negative bashing of Newt coming from you and your two ass clown side kicks that you apparently have forgotten who the real enemy here is. (BARRY SOETORO) Newt is the only candidate that I have seen that has the testicular fortitude to call a spade a spade. I am not crazy about Newt either but B.O has got to GO! I don’t care who the republican nominee is I will vote for them. You are starting to seem a bit worried that somebody might actually dethrone KING Barry.
    But I am sure you can find more fear, gloom and doom to sell the sheeple when this happens.

      Cobra,
      I don’t get it, either. I listened to them on XM this morning and it was too annoying to listen to. The sarcasm, smugness, and sophomoric belittling of Gingrich almost made me think bill maher was Glenn Beck.
      Obama MUST be defeated…and if Newt gets the nod, along with a solid conservative VP, I see him standing a much better chance against obozo’s billion dollar mudslinging campaign than Romney, who gets flustered by simple things and has supported and/or initiated so many of the things obama has dumped on us.
      I think Glenn and his two sidekicks has gone over the edge.

      It’s ok to like Newt, snakebro.I have been a Newt fan since the late 80′s.I met him about 10 years ago and he made my sons eye’s light up with the attention he showed him.Newt had me take a half dozen pictures of the 2 of them and he created a memory for a 12 year old boy he will never forget.Let’s do a few facts.
      1-Newt married his high school math teacher when he was 19 and she was 26.People go to jail for that stuff now.I dated my best friends aunt when I was 16 and she was 24.It was not and normal relationship.Newt‘s first marriage couldn’t have been either.
      2-Newt had 14,000 negative ads run against him his first year as speaker.He was featured as the grinch,breaking tiny tims crutch,before he had even held the gavel.He took the slings and arrows so others wouldn’t have to.
      3-Newt had 84 ethics charges filed against him.83 were dismissed.The one remaining charge was for teaching a college course about America.Newt was eventually found not guilty of any wrong doing.
      4-Newt resigned to give the dems “their pound of flesh” so that his fellow republicans could continue to score victories on the budget and taxes.It didn’t work because they went after his replacement before he even had a vote.
      The bottom line is many people take what they hear from the msm at face value.This is all open source material.I recommend this short article. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2011/12/13/bozell-column-newt-vs-ruling-class

      I GASPER, agree that Glenn seems to be going overboard, although I really believe that Newt stepped in it again in the South Carolina interview when he lied by saying “balogna” when asked whether he had said FDR was the greatest President of the 20th century. Being a pragmatist is one thing; lying to cover your tracks is completely another thing and displays character of the wrong kind – bad character.

      All that aside, and I am not discounting anything, but it appears Glenn is trying to be a King maker, for he also has his neophytes on the GBTV round table hammering Newt, and they do not have their facts correct, nor are they very professional with their giddiness.

    Newt is winning because he explains conservationism better than anyone else on the stage. Does he 100% believe it? Don’t think he does but at least he be better than Obama and that would be sway him from going to his liberal leaning progressive ideas. You can not do that with Obama.

I have my own reasons as many here already know for never supporting Gingrich. Pretty much only Santorum and Paul are what we have to choose from unless you folk are so gulliable to believe the lies from the other two. I’m currently leaning Santorum right now.

      What do you mean proof?

      Wilson believed in free trade, while Taft argued against free trade. Glenn Beck agrees with Wilson on free trade. Wilsonian realpolitik was an approach to foreign policy that believed that protecting democracy abroad was in the interest of the country. Beck agrees with that. Jackson was against a national bank, Beck is against the Federal Reserve. Theodore Roosevelt argued strongly against judicial activism, as does Beck. Roosevelt also believed that English should be the official language of government, only English should be used in schools, and decried hyphenated Americanism. Does Beck disagree?

      So he attacks people on agreeing with Wilson, Jackson, and Roosevelt on some issues when he does himself.

      More lies from the encinom troll. Beck does not agree with nation building and trying to spread democracy abroad. He has specifically stated the opposite and that he would like to bring more of our troops home, and use our armed forces only when we are attacked or as a result of direct provocation, so that is a blatant and outright lie. The federal reserve is not a national bank, so again you try to pass off a distortion as the truth. Beck is against the federal reserve but trying to tie him with Andrew Jackson in some sense of agreement is totally dishonest. Beck‘s disagreement with Jackson stems from Jackson’s belief in manifest destiny and his slaughter of the Native Americans. Since you seem to claim to knew Glenn so well then you should know that. And Teddy Roosevelt wasn’t the first or only president to speak out aginst judicial activism and trying to tie the two of them together in agreement and accuse Beck of hypocrisy is just typical of the liberal progressive left. You try to reframe the argument by ignoring the facts and manipulating the choices so that it would appear that you are right. But you liberal progressives can’t stand up to the truth so you lie, distort, and rewrite history to fit your agenda. You are such vile despicable human beings and are completely without honor or integrity and I’ll never know how you manage to live with yourselves.

      SICKOFTALKING, Obviously you should join another site if you are convince that Beck is a hypocrit. Why do you people hate Beck if he disagrees with you? Is he not entitled to his opinion the same as you are? Allot of the top conservatives are in disagreement over this. We all want the same thing in the end which is defeating Obama in 2012 .Most of us will remain true to the cause and vote republican regardless of who the nomination. This is BECK stated that on O’Reiley himself. People wake up, we can agree to disagree. We do not have to act like the progressives and destroy anyone that has a different opinion.We can not forget how or why we got here to begin with. All of this hate talk and threatening accusations is exactly what the progressives want to see happening to us. Some of the racist comments that have been posted lately are only weakening our credibility. There are allot of people here that say they are sick of the race card being pulled but yet I see it here in some of the comments. It is one thing to be prepared and to respect the second amendment but to make reference to killing people doesn’t exactly make us look like anything other than radical extremeist ourselves. I have the same fears as most of you and yes, we have to be ready, but it is NOT something I want to happen.
