Already a Fox News station juggernaut, Glenn Beck's profile was raised even higher today, with a startling close-up shot of him on the cover of Time Magazine. Titled "Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?", the article delves into how Beck -- the most politically polarizing talk-show host since Rush Limbaugh -- has capitalized on the deep partisan divide in America. "No one has a better feeling for this mood, and no one exploits it as well, as Beck," writes David Von Drehle of Time. "He is the hottest thing in the political-rant racket, left or right. A gifted entrepreneur of angst in a white-hot market. A man with his ear uniquely tuned to the precise frequency at which anger, suspicion and the fear that no one's listening all converge." The cover depicts a close-up shot of the charismatic, nervous-energy-filled host, sticking his tongue out at the viewer. It's the same tongue that has stirred up countless firestorms of criticism from liberals, thus earning him proportionate levels of adoration from conservatives.

One thing Glenn Beck talks against is corruption and how are country is doom if we don't do anything. To people who are from Mexico are have family ties there, they know what corruption has done to that once beautiful county. Both parties have corrupt politicians and he calls them out.
Problem is that there are a lot of new listeners/viewers who think that he's out to destroy only the corrupt Democrats. WRONG!!! Guess you need to do some GOOGLE research and find out what he thinks bout Bush and McCain
Give em a chance and do what's best for your country.

If the positive comments on Beck is representative of the Hispanic Business membership, then I guess I made a mistake in subscribing to HB. I thought that the membership were smart and intellectually curious and therefore question and research what many of these idiots say. I hope it's only a handfull who feel this way about Beck.
If people are not smart enough to figure this pathetic individual as a fraud and racist that he is, then YOU deserve what you get from the right wing-nuts. If you folks who love this guy dig a little, you will see his mantra has been that the country was better off (the real America) back in the 50's. Guess what folks, that excluded all minorities, including women of all colors. ENJOY!!!

tell the truth - stop drinking the mohitos! I am afraid that I almost fell into the trap that the dems wanted me too. Mama and papa were democrats and i thought I was one too, until I realized I am conservative. I no longer take anybody for their word, I research it myself. Guess what - Glenn Beck is telling the truth. Spread the word -we have been duped (lied to). We need to stand up and think for ourselves independantly. We know right from wrong. Embrace our faith. Stop following the democrats, they have a hidden agenda. The truth is coming out. Good job Glenn.

This man is an idiot, he's bipolar, get the facts, I can't believe that you actually believe this guy, please get the facts for yourselves, don't just find someone who says what you want to hear, if that's what you're going by, I have some great land in Las Vegas that supplies it's own water and the city is awaiting a contract for it's supply, would you like to buy it?

Why get angry at people who tell the truth? The disturbing things that Glenn reports are not things that he has done. The reporters who bury the truth or lie to you are not you friends. Whether or not you like the news, at least you know the truth, because of Glenn.

I have been listening to Glenn Beck since 9/11/01. He Know his sh...t if you like it or not. The facts count. If you don't believe him It's easy to find out what he says is true. Or maybe you don't want to know. Get you head out of the sand. Get educated, get smart!

Thanks, "Time Magazine." I love Glenn Beck; watch his show EVERY DAY and think he has more answers than anyone else in news. You rock, Glenn, and thanks for keeping us up-to-date on everything, especially on All the President's Czars, ACORN, and most recently, racism...! Glenn has the best show on TV -- day or night!
