This is going to be brief because Glenn Beck really speaks for himself.<\/p>\n

GLENN BECK, 11\/12\/09<\/a>: I’ve been very consistent on all of this stuff. But they don’t even look at any of that. In fact, the claims that I make about socialist Marxism, et cetera, et cetera, communist, I’ve only charged that there was one communist in the White House<\/strong>, in the administration, one. I have not made a claim that there’s more. Only one<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

GLENN BECK, 8\/31\/09<\/a>: Why does the president have so many Marxists, socialists, radicals and self-proclaimed communists<\/strong> advising him?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

GLENN BECK, 10\/17\/09<\/a>: It is not a crime to admire communist murderers, but to me – pardon the pun – it is kind of a red flag. But even more chilling than all the admiration is the fact that so many in and around our nation’s capital and the White House, in the halls of power, adhere to the tenets of socialism, Marxism, and communism<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

GLENN BECK, 10\/26\/09<\/a>: I have made an unchallenged case that there were and are communist revolutionaries, socialists, Marxists<\/strong>, people that follow Chairman Mao, people that do not believe in the free market system, people that are radicals that have been appointed by Obama to the executive branch positions in government<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beck frequently claims that he would immediately correct any mistake, but we really can’t hold him to that. If he actually had to correct his lies and misstatements, how would he have time to do his show?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
