Glenn Beck Joins Keith Ablow on ‘Today’ to Talk About….‘Angry’ Rhetoric

On Wednesday, Glenn Beck appeared alongside co-author Dr. Keith Ablow on the “Today” show to talk about their new book, The 7: Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life. Interviewer Meredith Viera kept the topic about the book initially, although she did point out a couple times how Beck is controversial and a “lightening rod.”

But as predicted, Viera could not conduct the entire interview without bringing up the mainstream media’s obsession with violent rhetoric (it only took four minutes into the nine minute interview). In fact, Beck and Viera had a slightly testy exchange when she tried to corner him about his contribution to angry political speech and insisted on quoting past comments:

Beck responded to the question in general by saying that political speech must be put in context.

    He’s controversial because they NEED him to be controversial. He’s an upset to their progressive takeover of every transaction in their realm.

    And their narrative MUST be maintained, and in order for that to occur, they have to focus their follower’s attention on a sense of injustice, and inflame them at EVERY opportunity, or they fail.

    I can’t watch that nauseating woman for more than a few seconds so I do not know if she brings up the Tucson shootings. However, since NBC and all other main-stream networks blamed the tragedy on “rhetoric” from the right ( rather than on the perpetrator ) , it is important to point out that today we have learned the truth about who is actually responsible for the shootings –

    DOJ Policy From Clinton Era Kept Loughner Off FBI Gun List – The Washington Post reports, “An old policy memo from the Clinton administration paved the way for” Loughner “to buy his first firearm. Put in place by former attorney general Janet Reno, the policy prohibited the military from reporting certain drug abusers to the FBI, which manages the national list of prohibited gun-buyers, federal officials said.“ Loughner ”attempted to enlist in the Army in December 2008 but was rejected because he failed a drug-screening process, Army officials said.”

    Bill Clinton and Janet Reno have blood on their hands ….

      Stewart is far more of a problem than Glenn Beck ever will be. Ask most any ignorant child of today where they get their news and they will usually respond John Stewart. And they argue if you try to educate them with the fact that Stewart is nothing more that a cheap comedian. Glenn Beck does not read news, he espouses an opinion, and some of us agree and some us do not. But Stewart’s word seems to be truth, not matter how he twists it for a laugh. And if it wasn’t for Beck, Stewart’s numbers would probably be slashed by half.

      Sadly, Stewart‘s news is less biased and more based in reality than Beck’s. The true crime is the Beck should be on Comedy Central were people would actually realize he’s a comedian and not take him seriously. Unfortunately, he isn’t, and people actually think he’s reporting facts.

      And what about Beck dodging other people like Stewart? Stewart has asked him to be on his show (or vice versa) several times but he keeps slinking away. Gee, I wonder why that is. Seeing as how even O’Reilly, on a good day, has a tough time keeping up with Jon, I don‘t think Beck would fare too well since Beck is a far inferior debater to O’Reilly. There’s a reason he almost never brings people who disagree with him on his own show…

      No I will have to take exception with you on that. I think that Glenn Beck was wise to go on this show. There are many people who just take the lamestream media’s word that Glenn Beck is a hater and by appearing on this liberal show he came across poised, caring and the exact opposite of what the shows producers were probably hoping for. There are many who watch this show who may be very liberal yet still honorable people with integrity, those are the people who would come away with a different perspective and be seeing Glenn Beck in a new light. Yes it may be a smaller percentage of the people who watch that show but still well worth his time and effort. Of course there are those far left types that wouldn‘t be convinced of the error of their thinking if Jesus Christ himself appeared to them those are hopelessly deceived and no body is going to change them and Glenn Beck is going to be a hate monger and fool in their eyes no matter what he does short of becoming a leftist which just ain’t gonna happen.

      I believe he went on the show for his book like all writers do but Viera wouldn’t allow that, she had her agenda. The problem was she tried to turn it into a “controversial interview” like they always do to make themselves relevant. That didn’t work because all Glenn and Keith had to do was stand on principles. The MSM has a melt down when people stand on principles.

    She tried to turn the whole interview into him being a hater. I am glad that she did because he addressed her questions and while doing so showed just how empty the constant complaints by the radical Left against him are. If her intention was to make him look like a “hater”, and I am not saying that was her intent, then she failed miserably. Glenn Beck came off looking like a caring and concerned person trying to help people and the country.

It may only be deep within you. You‘ll know that you’ve done what’s right.” They don’t have the slightest idea what HONOR, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, SACRIFICE, INTEGRITY actually mean.

      The Bible tells us to “Be ye angry, but sin not.” (Ephesians 4:26). WE ARE ALLOWED TO BE ANGRY. such as how angry we were on November 2nd, 2010. However, we are not to physically hurt another person UNLESS it is to protect ourselves or our families, such as during a home invasion, etc..

      The reason is simple and very disturbing. America is fast becoming a post-Christian nation, and as a result, Christianity is coming under increasing attack.

      The Secularists and Humanists who are fighting to gain control of our nation hate everything that Christianity stands for — particularly such things as morality, individual liberty, and free enterprise. They are determined to erase all vestiges of Christianity from our social consciousness. Christmas and Easter have been replaced with “Winter Holiday” and “Spring Holiday.” The Ten Commandments have been declared unconstitutional. Prayer and Bible reading have been banned from our public schools. Personal expressions of the Christian faith, like wearing a cross on a necklace or a lapel, have come under attack.

      President Obama has started censoring the Declaration of Independence when he quotes it. Instead of quoting in its original form, he deletes any reference to our Creator. Thus, his revised version reads as follows, with the bracketed words deleted: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed [by their Creator] with certain unalienable rights…” This is an outrage. Our natural rights come from God, not government.

      The President has also started referring to our “freedom of worship” instead of our “freedom of religion.” This is a deliberate change of words that carries great implications. Freedom of worship means nothing more than the freedom to worship God in the privacy of your home or church. Freedom of religion means the right to exercise your religion publicly.

      And then there is the effort on the part of the Secularists and Humanists to limit our freedom of religious expression through the enactment of hate crime laws. The idea is to use these laws to stop Christians from speaking out on moral issues like homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

      Christian access to the airwaves is in jeopardy as attempts are made to submit all broadcasting to review by local community boards to assure “balanced expression of opinions.“ Censorship masquerades under the ”fairness doctrine” which would require equal time for all viewpoints. Thus, if a Christian broadcaster were to speak out against abortion, he would have to supply free time on his program, at his expense, for a pro-abortion person to express his views.

      Christians are being targeted for harassment. A photographer is sued for discrimination because he refuses to accept a job photographing a same-sex marriage. A woman has legal charges brought against her because she posts a notice on her church’s bulletin board announcing she has a room for rent and is looking for a Christian room mate. Again, she is charged with “discrimination.” University professors are routinely denied tenure because they are Christians.

      Meanwhile Hollywood continues to spew forth its venom in the form of movies and television programs that openly mock the Bible, Jesus, and Christians.

      Nor should we overlook what is perhaps the most serious challenge of all — the attack from within Christianity by apostate teachers. ( http://www.lamblion.com/events/events_llconf5.php )

      Glenn Beck goes on these liberal biased shows to sell books and get some exposure for new audience members. The 10 minutes he had to be on the air probably sold 5,000+ books and all he had to do is talk. The kind of people that watch this program probably would have never heard of this book if he did not do this program. Glenn is not dumb. This golden goose could be gone tomorrow and he is collecting as many eggs as he can.

      Funny.

      Anyone ever heard the phrase ” In his own words?”.
      Like, every other night from Glenn beck?

      But when its his own words its all long ago and doesnt matter.

      Guess what, he doesnt care when he makes little funny films about Soros or Piven or whomever. He just shows us, in their own words. And thats by his definition all the evidence one would ver need.

      You people could learn something here about the way the great glenn manipulates you. Take a close look…

      The 5 steps to worlddomination, according to W.C.Skousen:

      1. Become an alcoholic
      2. Stop drinking
      3. Get a radio show
      4. Get on TV
      5. Allways surround yourself with lots of chalkboards

      after quoting Obama he then explains it has political discourse that was a master stroke. . .He looked like the teacher and the Today show host like a student on her own program. . .
