Well this comes as quite a surprise, considering Glenn Beck is one of the biggest loudmouths on radio and television—batting for the "Tea Party" geniuses and other extreme conservative types. It seems that unlike the great amount of his viewers/listeners, Glenn Beck isn't entirely insane. In fact, he thinks it's insane for anyone to question Obama's citizenship. He's no birther, and that is both a surprise and a relief.
It does say a lot about Beck's character. Although he's over-the-top and at times, borderline anti-semitic and rabidly against anything remotely progressive, he is no dummy and isn't going to entertain the birther's crazy ideas about Obama being born in Kenya. Glenn Beck said:
You have a real opportunity to talk about American exceptionalism and what made us exceptional. You have a real opportunity to talk about taxes and spending. Instead, youÂ’re gonna waste time on the birth certificate? I understand. I personally think heÂ’s a citizen. I think he was born here. I donÂ’t think he was a Manchurian Candidate from birth. But, if you want to, great. YouÂ’re out of your mind if you think that is a winning argument for the next election.
It's extremely difficult to applaud anyone like Glenn Beck, but in times like these, he deserves a standing ovation.

He is a good author, and wish he would continue writing more of his fictional books, they are quite well done and stay out of the political entertainment game..he would gain more respect for his writing..as it is, quite a few people won't read his books because of his name alone.
No and my guess has neither have you.
do you mean left winger?
If you are going to post to a social networking site you are going to find people that agree and disagree with you.
I have friends on gather that have many of the same opinions as I do but I also have friends who I dont agree with anything on.
I learn from them all.
You need to find a way to accept differences and accept that others are not always going to agree with you on Gather.
You cannot expect to only have your opinion put out there.
How bout you just go watch Matlock and leave the conversation to the people with the mental capacity to do as such.
(PS where are YOUR paid articles?)
must be feeble.
Dan, just because you're too slow in the head to see the bright, bold blue font that says "chelsea hoffman" at the top of my posts, doesn't mean everyone else has the reading comprehension of an eggplant.
As for my image change. This is a social networking site. I have 1000s of pics. You may be the faceless wonder-troll of the internetz, but some people actually don't mind showing their face, name and brand. I guess that's what separates the gods <---- from the clods----->

Plus my guess was the people using this to sound off about a personal matter didnt quite know what to say regarding the apparent change of direction that Beck has done.
Besides, between Mari and the constant ignorance she spouts, I tend to only read the first line of any of her comments.
couldnt resist..well I could have but I didnt want to.
And take it as an insult. I want you to. And I have every right to put down your religious beliefs. They are stupid. They are against proven fact. Your beliefs are only shared by people with low IQs. Period. Proven. Fact.
You, also, comment on every single one of my articles injecting your ridiculous comments that are only shared by the nuttiest of the fringes of society and then get your panties in a twist when I don't write to your ideas of what is acceptable. You are also the one who began the "insults" when you took it upon yourself to decide what a "professional" writer is based on whether or not they write the mirrored replicas of your own opinions. You are an idiot, mari. Plain and simple. Just a insignificant little twit with a low IQ and a mouth that runs faster than your slow and outdated processor (i.e. brain)
