John McCain’s daughter gives herself the title “Progressive Republican” and that caught Beck’s attention. I can imagine that as soon as she said that on TV, Beck had one of those “I see dead people” moments where the room gets really cold and and his breath crystallizes in front of him. Anyway, he spent the better part of an hour making fun of Meghan McCain, partly for the reasons she used to define her brand of ‘progressivism’. She’s basically a socially liberal Republican but has no idea what being a ‘progressive’ really means.

In the second segment Beck seems to have had a ‘if she wants to be a progressive then I’ll call her a progressive’ moment during the break as he just talks about her as if she really is a true progressive Republican. Either way there’s plenty of ‘valley girl mockery’ in both segments for your pleasure.

My favorite quote from Beck is from the beginning of part two (insert valley girl mockery accent):

I consider myself a progressive Republican cause I like progress. I like progress so much. I like to progress. I like to come like, for instance, Larry, in the studio, I like if I wouldn’t have progressed I’d still be sitting in the car cause I like progress so I got out of the car and then I closed the door and then I took a couple of small steps and before I knew it I was in your studio. I like progress.

    Now we know why McCain lost the election. He was obviously whipped even before the campaign.

    It's not about progressive so much that is the bad part, you should listen to the beginning of Mark Levin monologue on Feb 8, he addresses these Glen Beck 3rd party types that won't pick a side and won't activate their listers to pick a side. The tea party movement is a conservative movement and its job is to take over the republicans then win the election otherwise it will be unsuccessful. Kick the unconservative bums out of the republican party and take it over already, quit thinking you're above it Mr. Beck and listen to our leader Mark Levin! Remember that George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan we're all heroes who picked sides and activated others to do so.

    I listened to this on the radio earlier and almost crashed my car crackin up so hard. Glenn was on fire PERIOD today. Before all this, he just BLASTED Obama's BS “letter from dead breast cancer woman” and talked about typing his OWN letter to Obama as “little Johnny with no legs who wants to be buried in Obama pants.” This morning's radio show was the BEST I'd heard in a LONG time. Too awesome, Glenn. You're ON FIRE!!

    Who's turned off by the idea of requiring people to KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE THEY VOTE?? This is more of the media misconstruing remarks too. The guy they were talking about was saying this in reference to suggesting that ILLEGALS VOTED in the last election. C'mon now, muddled masses. Wake up and think for yourselves instead of letting Chris Matthews and “Valley Girl” McCain do it for you. It's enough to make me laugh and cringe at the same time.

    Mark Levin. He's a smart fella, but his attitude towards the fighting of retardation isn't working so well. Instead of explaining well to people and educating them, he just tells them to shut up and hangs up on them. I ESPECIALLY liked this one show with him I heard…well…actually DIDN'T care for it when this guy called in just commenting on Geitner's crimes against the people and asking why we don't indict (Mark cuts the guy off) and then he says “Because we don't go around arresting politicians.” REALLY?? I would like to think that ANYONE who EMBEZZLES AMERICA'S MONEY should NOT ONLY be arrested, but GO TO JAIL for a VERY long time…but hey…your buddy Mark Levine thinks politicians are ABOVE THE LAW I guess.

    Beck wants people to THINK FOR THEMSELVES instead of just “jump on the bandwagon,” which I and anyone else with a mind of their own can truly appreciate. Also, so you know…Washington didn't really pick a side as much as he highly advised against there being sides at all. It wasn't until Jefferson campaigned against Adams before there were actually political parties in our country. The R&D Machine hasn't been workin out too well for the past 20+ years because every candidate since Regan has been 2 Progressive heads on the SAME COIN.

    Maybe the Republican party will go back to their conservative roots and maybe not. Who knows, but I'd much rather see a Libertarian or Constitutionalist take the presidency as well as see more of them in our Congress if Republican reform doesn't happen.

    Thanks for uploading these – I embedded them and gave you a hat tip in the process..

    Also thanks for uploading the Palin Tea Party Speech.. offered to a hat tip for this post in which I linked to you, through Left Coast Rebel.

    1. Sorry I disagree with you, to me, Beck doesn't want people to think for themselves, he seems to want to confuse people with his wish wash mush and try to draw people after himself. I love his anti Obama rhetoric and I love his views on the military and economy, but I hate his wimpy view on 3rd party solution by 'destroying the republicans and democrats'. Levin would kick his butt in understanding the founding fathers and the constitution any day, and he's got the track record to prove it. There's a reason why Limbaugh said yesterday if he were to debate the President, Stretchy Ping Pong eyes and Reid, he would want Levin (not Beck) with him on the platform and you have to respect what Rush says, his ratings are twice as good as Beck's.
    2. The only fire Beck has is a false phony in your bosom hype fire, hopefully he wakes up from his delusion. He might be the latest greatest thing right now but people will get sick of him and his doubleminded-sit-on-the-fence-lukewarmness if he keeps this up.

    3. I'm not saying jump on the bandwagon, I'm saying take over the damn republican party and kick the progressives, moderates, and rino's out, but you can't do that if you're pissin' around with a 3rd party, trust me, 3rd party elections suck! You end up with only a minority government and no matter who you are, you're hands are tied and you have 2 big opponents to deal with instead of one. Look at Canada right now, Stephen Harper is as conservative as they get, probobly the greatest lover and defender of Israel in a Prime Minister Canada ever had. He's into cutting taxes across the board, stimulating small business, he's anti global warming and anti carbon emission tax, he's into changing the definition of marriage back to the way it should be, between a man and woman, he's pro life, pro family and yet he can't do anything such as even begin to fix the 3rd world-style health care system, because he's looked at as a third party minority government, and it's near impossible to get majority with all the corruption that is going on with politics, media, academia and science right now. Sorry for sounding so harsh, I just really agree more with Levin (he is speaking the truth) than with Beck and that's ok, everyone's allowed their opinion right?

    4. Also, with Levin hanging up on that caller, I also heard that show and I bet you that caller was screened as an Obamadrone before the conversation even started, sometimes when you're listening to radio you can forget that, I'm sure if you were in Levin's position, you would get ticked off too, with all the same liberal talking points and blame it on Bush and throw him and Dick in jail accusations. At least he's got the guts to tell the libs to shut up. He's a bare knuckle conservative brawler and I love his style.

    5. I like what you said about Republicans going back to their conservative roots, I really hope, pray and believe this will happen, you can sense it in the air. Scott Brown seems to be a first fruit of this.

    God Bless

    You're right, you've converted me, I never saw it this way before.
    Levin you're the great one. Beck you must reject the 3rd party idea and take over the republicans, it's the only way to win.
