I guess Alex Jones is supposed to be a Libertarian, don't know what Glenn Beck is, don't think he ever claimed to be Libertarian, he is supposedly not bound to the Republican Party as much as Rush and Sean.

A friend of mine thinks of Beck as a great leader of some future resistance movement that will eventually topple the global elite. If he had ANY potential to do that, do you think he would still be allowed on TV and/or radio? Glenn Beck merely provides a SAFETY VALVE that allows honest, productive Americans to vent their anger via yelling along with Beck when he does his shows. I see this at work every day when he's on the radio. No one takes up arms and no one gets hurt, because "VOTING is our weapon". The globalists thank you, Glenn Beck.

Glen Beck is a safety valve as was Rush Limbaugh.
Watch carefully both say mad as hell then end with do NOTHING about it.
They are here to allow people to blow off steam and that’s all. They always talk against real change, or revolution.
Rush hung up on me before because I called him out years ago when he first came to Detroit's radio market.
They are nothing more than safety valves, BUT they sometimes misread Americans and I pray, hope and wait to see of they misread and cause Americans to get really active as they have already, unintentionally.
We can only hope Beck accidentally causes people to REALLY awake.

Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America?

How Glenn Beck Saves Lives
by Reihan Salam
June 19, 2009
During a fascinating live chat with readers of The Washington Post, Beck addressed the question of extremist violence a number of times. One reader asked Beck point blank if he, like many of the commenters on his Web site, advocated a violent revolution. Beck condemned violence, and said that "we need to model ourselves after Martin Luther King and Gandhi." Another reader thoughtfully asked how Beck avoids pushing fringe groups to violence, to which Beck responded that "the fringe groups hate my guts. The fringe groups think I'm a government stooge." And in a sense the fringe groups were right. Rather than stoke the fears of his audience, Beck's occasionally loopy warnings about socialist totalitarianism and the coming American civil war actually inoculate his viewers against truly extreme sentiments. You couldn't invent a better government stooge than Beck.
When a friend made me watch a lengthy Beck segment on the "Bubba Effect," in which angry rednecks revolt against an Obama-led federal government in a climate of total economic collapse, I was meant to laugh at Beck's insanity. Instead, I was struck by how Beck was taking a lot of deep-seated and often unspoken anxieties very seriously. Aside from his weirdly hypnotic eyes—the main reason I'm not a regular viewer of his program—Beck's great strength is that he's a kind of national therapist for some of America's craziest people, few of whom are willing to go in for professional help. Without Beck and O'Reilly and even Olbermann, how exactly would these people let off steam? I don't want to know.

Fox gives Napolitano's Truther tendencies a pass
November 30, 2010
Not only has Fox News not addressed Andrew Napolitano's emergence as a Truther, the network has continued to host him. This morning, he was on Fox & Friends, a show that regularly rails against 9/11 Truthers. Did they have anything to say to Judge Nap about his Truther-ness? Nope.
Compare that to the exchange co-host Brian Kilmeade--who used to also co-host a radio show with Napolitano--had with former Governor Jesse Ventura over the issue. Ventura also asks "questions" about the government's story about what happened on 9/11. Kilmeade challenged him for making up "scandals that says that 9/11 was an inside job." The two got into quite the argument over this issue, which culminated in Kilmeade walking off the set, under the guise that he had to go host his radio show.
Or how about a few months ago, when the hosts eviscerated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for ranting about 9/11 being an "inside job" while addressing the UN in September? Gretchen Carlson declared, "It really doesn't matter where you state that statement, quite frankly. I mean, you could say that in Des Moines, Iowa and it'd still be offensive. There really is no relationship."

Fox host Napolitano is a 9-11 Truther: "It couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us"
November 24, 2010
Napolitano made his remarks on the radio show of Alex Jones, who is widely viewed as the leader of the conspiracy theory that the 9-11 attacks were an inside job.
Napolitano has long appeared on the program of Jones, who has been criticized by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, among others, for outlandish conspiracy theories. However, as Jones himself indicated, this appears to be the first time Jones has discussed his pet cause with Napolitano on-air.
Napolitano has previously hosted Jones on his Freedom Watch program when it was on FoxNews.com. It now airs daily on Fox Business - a development Jones repeatedly cheered during the interview. Napolitano has promised Jones that he will host him on his Fox Business program.
Napolitano has dabbled in 9-11 Truth discussion before. In March, while still on FoxNews.com, Napolitano hosted truther Jesse Ventura, who was given an unchallenged platform to push 9-11 conspiracy theories.
Napolitano and Jones' discussion referenced a segment about WTC building 7 by Fox News host Geraldo Rivera, who hosted a group of family members of 9-11 victims asking the "NYC city council to investigate" the official account about building 7. Rivera, who has been outspoken against 9-11 conspiracy theories, said at the conclusion that he was "much more open minded" about 9-11 questions because of the involvement of 9-11 families and architects and engineers.
Napolitano later discussed the segment with Geraldo on his Fox Business program. Asked if he doubted the official conclusion about building 7, Geraldo said: "I think that it is highly unlikely that our government would do anything nefarious on a scale of this epic nature. However, the building does appear to come down in a way that is reminiscent of a controlled demolition."
Napolitano's belief in 9-11 conspiracy theories may make things awkward with his Fox News colleagues - especially Glenn Beck -- who have denounced 9-11 conspiracy theories and those associating themselves with anyone making them.
