After 45 min I kept wondering when Massa would drop a bombshell or at least more dirt or something but it never happened..

kirkcheated   March 9th, 2010 - 6:10 pm

Glenn is a good commentator/analyst, but he can’t interview worth a damn.

erp   March 9th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

First time I’ve ever listened to Beck and it was indeed a waste of time for Beck, but it was time well spent for Obama because Massa, who was remarkably well spoken and didn’t stray from the party line, played Beck like a Stradivarius making him look like an ill-prepared boob.

I’d love to know how much of our stimulus money that little creep Massa is taking home with him — judging from his merry smile, it must be considerable.

sam   March 9th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

yea serious… i was expecting a little more than everything i have already heard… either way, GLEN RULES!

eric   March 9th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

What a boring interview. The guy is shifty, and Beck should have called him on it.

Don't Tread On Me   March 9th, 2010 - 6:12 pm

No worries, Glenn- you have wasted far less of my time than many, and you have enriched my knowledge base far more than any of my college professors.
Looking forward to your next show!

anonymous   March 9th, 2010 - 6:12 pm

Wow! Great story!

JRinSC   March 9th, 2010 - 6:13 pm

I was so hopeful to hear some actual truth come out of Washington… I guess there is no hope for that anytime soon. Glenn, you didn’t waste our time, Massa did!

puck30   March 9th, 2010 - 6:13 pm

I feel sorry for poor Larry King, he’s got to do the follow up with this schlub.

PartyCrasher   March 9th, 2010 - 6:13 pm

Apology accepted, Beck. I would have watched your sorry arse show anyways.

paul   March 9th, 2010 - 6:13 pm

I knew this would happen, Glenn should have been more cautious about inviting him too quickly. Now Glenn gets beat up by Mahr, Stewart, and everyone at Msnbc.

kmichaels   March 9th, 2010 - 6:13 pm

I have no sympathy for Massa certainly. However, Rahm is a known arsehole and I think, just an evil guy. Gibbs would defend Obama regardless of truth, so he is pretty worthless. And Obama, Reid and Pelosi do certainly confirm that this is about saving political face and nothing more. The current democrat batch of leaders shows how low American politics and the MSM has really sunk.

Cynthia   March 9th, 2010 - 6:14 pm

Beck wastes everyone’s time – daily — as he makes up quotes and history — I keep expecting to hear he is interviewing the founders.

WTF Over?   March 9th, 2010 - 6:14 pm

Massa is right. Rahm is a pile of dung. Thanks for showing us what you do Glenn!

Joe Clay   March 9th, 2010 - 6:15 pm

I dont buy into Glenn Becks schtick anyways….hes a hysterical phantom of the opera newsman. Wheres my remote ::click::

Mike   March 9th, 2010 - 6:15 pm

A complete and utter waste of time – something happened with Massaa that he is still hidding. At least Glenn had the courage to apologize – that was awful!

freckleface   March 9th, 2010 - 6:15 pm

Just another lying Democrat.
That really WAS a waste of time!
I think you were had, Glenn.

Don't Tread On Me   March 9th, 2010 - 6:16 pm

Yea, thanks Glenn, for being smarter than a rocket scientist, and a window washer. Your tears are never a waste of my time. I LOVE Oprah.

Party Crasher   March 9th, 2010 - 6:16 pm

Apology accepted, Beck. I would have watched your sorry azz show anyways.

kidshare   March 9th, 2010 - 6:16 pm

I don’t think it was a waste of time. I loved the full hour of Massa blinking his eyes 100 times a minute. I was kinda wondering also why he wouldn’t be more specific about anything except tickling some other guy at a bachelor party. I’ve been to those…there wasn’t any tickling, not sure what sick people this guy hangs out with but I hope he does what he promised and “disappears.”

james   March 9th, 2010 - 6:16 pm

We’ll let this one slide Glenn ;)

VTlibertarian   March 9th, 2010 - 6:17 pm

Massa turned out to be another senate pin-head. Go figure.

dfcinca   March 9th, 2010 - 6:17 pm

I actually thought Glenn did a good job with the interview. We didn’t learn anything new about congress, the white house or corruption, but what we did get some good sound bites from Beck. The burning building analogy, the stand and fight analogy. It wasn’t a waste of my time at all ~ it was a full blown display of what kind of people are in Washington. Messa is just messier and less polished than the rest of them.

Jeff   March 9th, 2010 - 6:17 pm

The biggest bomb since Ishtar.

THE TRUTH   March 9th, 2010 - 6:18 pm

If Massas the kind of nut job that liberals are electing to Congress this country is in serious trouble.

DrRob   March 9th, 2010 - 6:19 pm

Don’t Tread On Me March 9th, 2010 – 6:12 pm..//

Nicely stated. There have been far more instances of absolute drivel on many other programs other than Mr. Beck’s/

john   March 9th, 2010 - 6:19 pm

I want more Rahm naked in the shower stories.

.

bilbiz   March 9th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

Can’t answer anything, specifically? You bet another shoe is going to drop. Massa’s behavior was typical of a man trapped like a rat. Don’t feel bad about one wasted hour, Glenn, the whole discussion was quite revealing.

Shelly B.   March 9th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

Glenn, I think you were set up. I think if you did deep enough you’ll find that Rahm paid Massa for coming on your show to make you look bad. Yeah, you were set up! But please keep on doing what you do. You are a public service.
Blessings.

Holly James   March 9th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

Glen it was not a waste of time. This just proves how crazy these people in Washington are I believe he was targeted and it is to early for him to gather his thoughts to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. I think they all are crazy and all need to go. Give the man a break. I am a conservative Rep. He is being treated as a whisle blower for tell the the true.

john wade   March 9th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

The representative was doing what he and many more members of Congress do very well; WASTE OUR TIME!

gold digger   March 9th, 2010 - 6:20 pm

I have only watched this clip. But from what I heard, he is STILL a typical democrat/libtard. Speaking in circles.
Truth be known, he probably had something to do with this entire ordeal.

Mary   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

what was that” CYA? Poor schmuck is just looking for his 15 minutes of fame because it didn’t happen in congress.

andyjaxon   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

Don’t worry about it, Glenn, it was worth one shot. They are too tarnished anyway, JUST KEEP TEACHING, KEEP TEACHING, KEEP TEACHING!!!

clarify   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

Massa was doing the shuffle. Did not give any specific answers and is not worth watching again unless anyone cares to watch a typical politician give non-answers. Beck was good in trying to get some red meat but Massa would not take the bait.

Gloria   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

I did not feel my hour was wasted. On the contrary, I felt compassion for your guest. He’s been through the fire, and will again and again until this is over. Glenn, you were a gracious host and it was a good program. Not wasted one bit. Actually it revealed even more dirt in Washington. Not specific like you wanted, but it was there between the lines non the less.
Gloria

Angry Xgen'er   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

Massa is no brilliant statesman that’s clear.

BHOShatOnUSAndSmiled   March 9th, 2010 - 6:21 pm

This guys thoughts are more scrambled than Biden’s. Here’s a tip, Glen: Democrats are full of crap. You can’t smell it so easy in some, and some you can’t get the smell off yourself if you get near them, but they are all full of crap nonetheless. It is always a waste of time to interview Democrats unless for entertainment. Massa is entertaining. Even if his lies have absolutely no basis in fact, the images he provokes are amusing. Biden is amusing too, a high class elitist stooge, also full of crap.

Nick   March 9th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

So this MASSA guy was who many people elected? No wonder NY State is a pathetic mess. The DNC needs to find candidates with some brains and class, because lately in NY it’s scandal after scandal. And forget blaming the republicans anymore people – it’s all democrats now and LOOK at the progress… keep looking…

Brad in Denver   March 9th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

Sounds to me like there is a lot more dirt on Massa and probably Glenn Beck than we know about…

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   March 9th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

Glen strikes again!

Two down…one from each party…more to go!

Anyone else up for an interview with Glen!

Congratulations Glen for being the judge and jury for the American public…what would we do without you!

——————————-

JUST EIGHT (8) MORE MONTHS TO “D” DAY II !

1. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INFORMED!
2. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INVOLVED!
3. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ RECORDS OF BIRTH…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!

Stephen   March 9th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

I stopped listening to Beck and switched over to Michael Savage and Alex Jones as they both provide much more accurate information.

Fedup   March 9th, 2010 - 6:23 pm

Great try Glenn. You cannot believe anything that comes out of Washington…then again…I guess you can believe that anything can come out of Washington! The challenge is finding the truth. Keep the pedal to the metal buddy. Seek, Knock and Open!

MissManners   March 9th, 2010 - 6:24 pm

Glenn, you’re the best!

maximinimus   March 9th, 2010 - 6:25 pm

Don’t beat yourself up Glenn. It could have easily have worked out very differently.
You gave him a chance which is more than many commentators on the right did. Your intentions were clear and noble for which we thank you !

Mike Kupchik   March 9th, 2010 - 6:25 pm

Glenn (and Andrew) never waste my time, and I thank them both for the educational experiences.

Mike   March 9th, 2010 - 6:25 pm

The fact that you are breathing at all is a waste of time.

shah   March 9th, 2010 - 6:25 pm

glenn you are a neocon and you keep trying to brainwash the public the time for a revolution is near what side will you be on you support the IMF and paying more taxes to big bank and support the federal reserve and you dont think 9/11 was a inside job you are a waste of time you brainwashed fool

nick   March 9th, 2010 - 6:26 pm

Was a waste of time…I was waiting for him to call the back up guest he mentioned

Eric Johnson   March 9th, 2010 - 6:26 pm

Beck needed to take control of the interview, and ask Massa “how has the White House and Nancy Pelosi threatened your family?”

OneOfWeThePeople   March 9th, 2010 - 6:26 pm

Massa did not give Glenn any new information. Glenn tried to drill down and get something specific.
Most of us realize that the specifics are the daily deals made between our folks in congress. Favor for favor is exchanged. The problem is that these favors wind up costing the taxpayer. The longer a person is in the congress the more power they gain, more favors are due to them from others, and the more dirt they have on the other guy etc, etc.. If you want something, you have to play the game!
I truly believe that TERM LIMITS would help with this problem.

Homeschool Mom   March 9th, 2010 - 6:27 pm

Glenn, It is probably good that Massa didn’t tell anymore Rahm stories. The one about a naked, angry Rahm is enough to give me nightmares for months to come. Uuugh! Naked Rahm, scary thoughts!

Zed   March 9th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

Massa’s a typical Liberal male – abusive, a liar, predator Homosexual, possibly a pederast, indecisive, spineless, a quitter, etc. etc. ad infinitum

John E   March 9th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

I agree with Glenn Beck on most things, and he has a great show, but he is a lousy interviewer. Worst job of interviewing I have ever seen by a big name tv guy. Sorry, Glenn, you really blew this one.

Renault Bordeaux   March 9th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

Massa reversed his opinion and modified his statements just enough so he was technically not lying. In my book, that was your typical politician’s behavior. It was a good reminder of what needs to be done in this country: eliminating the snakes in Congress.

*********************************************************************************

Glen Beck GOT PUNKED …bwa.ha.ha.ha.ha.ha.

Masa promise the gang back at the whitehouse that he will do right by them , And man did he ever, He went on Foxnews and VOMIT on Beck and company.

The promise of loyalty to pull this stunt on beck by Masa , should be good enough to avoid any big hammer throw down by the whitehouse on ETHICS charges against him.

Oldbluesboy   March 9th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

It’s not either or when you listen to Beck, Rush, Levin, etc. You get more truth than not from any of them. They all look for the truth in different ways, so get what you can and be better for it. Glenn would be wasting our time if he didn’t try at all.

If you try, you might; if you don’t, you won’t.

michael   March 9th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

This is not the first time you have wasted an hour and I feel quite sure it will not be the last.

j hoover   March 9th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

Jay   March 9th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

Cynthia must not be very educated. As an educated man who knows how to read, I can say that I have NEVER heard Glenn make up a historical fact. In reality, he has brought forward facts that typically are not known by the typical great unwashed.

Scott N TX   March 9th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

The only reason this guy opposed the healthcare bill is cause it wasn’t far enough left to suit him. Obama is too far to the right in his opinion. This guy is nothing to cheer about.

CTSadler   March 9th, 2010 - 6:29 pm

Glenn Beck is a mouth breathing, time wasting, retard.

Jerry   March 9th, 2010 - 6:30 pm

Cynthia, Beck doesn’t make up quotes, he SHOWS VIDEOTAPE of these idiots/socialists/communists/radicals [pick any one or combination] ACTUALLY SAYING stupid/evil/unbelieveable things!!

matt22   March 9th, 2010 - 6:31 pm

somebody said that Massa is going to be on Larry King later on.. i really didn’t have any idea that Larry King was still on CNN. thought he retired a few years ago..they had a lot of guest hosts filling in.. anyway, glad to hear that he’s still alive! go get ‘em tonite, Larry. you get Glenn Beck’s sloppy seconds.

LibNOTsr   March 9th, 2010 - 6:31 pm

After watching the interview for the first 15 minutes I got the distinct feeling that Glenn would be going in circles with Mr. Massa.

Massa’s a phony and I don’t think he realizes how much of a fake he is….Washington apparently has that effect on people. Unfortunately, his family will bear the brunt of his idiocy.

Brent Lewis   March 9th, 2010 - 6:31 pm

Glenn, at least you have the honesty and the intellect to admit when you you’ve been had. And the humility to apologize to your audience. Class pure and simple. Now for Cynthia who posted that Glenn makes things up, come on Cynthie lets not make accusations without qualifiers. Give us an example of Glenn Beck making up history etc… otherwise you can take your complaints back to the 1st grade school ground of emotion driven drivel where the knuckle dragging trolls of your ilk live and breath daily.

Tasha   March 9th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

I’ve been entertained and enlightened.

Today I was bored.

It’s one hour.

Apology accepted, no biggie.

Hannity wastes an hour every day and never apologizes for it.

See ya tomorrow, same time, same channel where I’ll learn more from you than any other watcher on the wall.

Love ya man.

Flip   March 9th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

After 5 minutes you can tell Masa is a self-evident nut job. What is telling is that Rahm apparently felt compelled to argue /waste his time on a nut job multiple times. Can’t he tell?

An American Mom   March 9th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

Massa just proves what is wrong in Washington! Government doesn’t care about the American people, only care about their own self interest! I found him an insult to my intelligence!

KC   March 9th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

Glenn–Your effort was worth the try with Massa–he just doesnt have the spine for exposing the corruption. Then again, I have never walked a mile in his shoes–cancer, 30 years in politics…I might be worn out too. So although it was a waste—I would watch you interview a turtle-you are great. No apologies necessary.

Angry   March 9th, 2010 - 6:33 pm

Former Republican Eric Massa was never a true Democrat.

Pedro   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

Massa’s a politician’s politician. Talked for an hour and didn’t say a thing. Hard to believe that he resigned from a position that he is so obviously well qualified for.

In the imortal words of our old friend Bugs Bunny…”What a maroon”!!!!!!!

younever-go-against-the-most-powerful-man-in-the-world   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

Masa made a big big mistake by taking on the BIG BOYS in the whitehouse.he forgot his position and who he was.

You never offend the GODFATHER(obama) and his LIEUTENANTS.

Mia   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

You didn’t waste our time Glenn. It’s the congressman who is a waste. You need a flowchart to follow him.
But actually it was quite revealing. And you were gracious at the end.

Keep up the good work!

Rahm Emanuel   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

Thanks for not spilling the beans about my small pecker, Massa. I owe you one.

Dillard J   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

Why is Rahm showering with Massa? I Was mistaken, I thought the saying was ” I will watch your back and you will watch” mine.

Nitehawk   March 9th, 2010 - 6:34 pm

Massa was telling us of the problem…. It goes back to political bosses dictating how to steer the legislation… Both parties. I like Glenn Beck but he was looking for the corpse the crime some place to attack and expose. Massa although not clear was trying to tell us the whole system is screwed.
every day we need to confront politicians …ALL politiciand hold their feet to the fire and make them work for the country.
Oh and by the way go rent “Mr. Smith goes to Washington.” It’s the movies imitating life.

I’m a big fan of you Glenn, but I’m not impressed with how you handled the interview. I tend to believe Massa. You were trying too hard to find a silver bullet to prove your point. I can tell the White House is lying by how Gibbs speaks about Massa. The fact you apologized itself is self-serving.

Muffy Tupperman   March 9th, 2010 - 6:36 pm

EzFix   March 9th, 2010 - 6:36 pm

I could tell Glenn was exasperated by the lack of progress in the conversation. Anyone else would have been delighted to just have this guy on their show, but not Glenn; his apology shows he’s all about substance and not at all about hype and publicity. His program is easily becoming the only one out there where if you miss it, you’ll actually miss out on something.

Jane in St. Louis   March 9th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

We all felt your frustration, Glenn. But you didn’t waste our time….you’ve presented another piece of the puzzle to confirm that Washington is broken and that the majority of clowns up on Capitol Hill really aren’t our best and brightest – how did this guy get elected??? He couldn’t string together any coherent thoughts.

earthman92   March 9th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

Beck is too ignorant to recognize his own liberalism…

DallasConvertible   March 9th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

Massa is suffering from depression. On the radio show he was manic. He blasted away, going over the top. Today, on Beck’s show, he was deflated and not willing to dig a deeper hole for fear there would be no end to the media frenzy. Maybe tomorrow he’ll feel like throwing more fuel on the fire. It’s really quite sad, I pity him and his family.

howard   March 9th, 2010 - 6:38 pm

Glen,

I accept your apology. It was a complete waste of my time and in fact, I altered my schedule to watch your show at 5. But that is OK. You tried. You thought the piece of slime might actually give us a few insights into the corruption in Washington like he insinuated he would.

The creeps in Washington waste far more of our time hour by hour, each and every day. You at least, tried to do something for us. I’m not sure what he thinks he gained by going on and adding basically, nothing.

fel121   March 9th, 2010 - 6:38 pm

I am astounded at the complete and total nitwits posting here…
Learned more from Glenn Beck than your college professor…
Your show is better than most…
This is a former drugged up morning Zoo radio guy, and this is the pinnacle of journalism in your tiny pea brained minds.

You people live truly; truly, pathetic ill-informed lives of Madison Avenue, Disney made tripe. You are all the personification of the term, “low information voter”.

Michelle   March 9th, 2010 - 6:38 pm

So sad. Just more confirmation of the crap that comes out of D.C. The machine is huge. Thanks for the effort. This little light at the end of the tunnel was just Amtrak….and this too shall pass…..

buckrol   March 9th, 2010 - 6:38 pm

People call Glenn an extremist, and he calls it straighter than anybody out there. They’ve clearly never watched his show. Is the U.S. Constitution “extreme?”

You waste my time every time you’re on the air, Glenn. Of course your entertainment value is much higher than that has-been Rush, though, so you’re forgiven.

Rob   March 9th, 2010 - 6:39 pm

I think that this is a great example of Glenn Beck’s judgment in general. And no, it is not the first time he has wasted an hour of his viewer’s time.

This Massa guy is pretty strange:

First he quits because of cancer.

Second he quits because of a sexual harassment issue.

Third now he is quitting because someone played hardball with him.

Massa needs to get his story straight and then decide why he is leaving – either he has cancer, he likes playing with guys, or he can’t handle the heat in D.C. – either way – just leave already.

bilbiz   March 9th, 2010 - 6:39 pm

Completely agree with Fedup.

Rubicon Cross   March 9th, 2010 - 6:40 pm

I felt sorry for Massa. While I do believe him, he is obviously under so much stress that he is not able to think straight. He rambled, didn’t respond well to questions and really seem rattled. With that said, if there was a time for Beck to stop being silly and uber-sarcastic. This was it. Massa obviously couldn’t folow Glenn’s wit. That didn’t help – it just made him more confused and kept the truth from getting out. It was there, but never made it out. Beck could have done a much better job with this interview. It reminded me of the time he wasted with Sarah Palin – when for 20 minutes he kept saying “but, can I trust you?”.

Katy   March 9th, 2010 - 6:40 pm

Where are the “statesmen”. This administration is out for themselves. The “people” are just in the way.

Blah!   March 9th, 2010 - 6:41 pm

YOUR WHOLE F$#@ING SHOW IS A WASTE OF TIME GLENNDA BECK!

That’s all right Glenn, you have your magic underwear on.

Matthew   March 9th, 2010 - 6:41 pm

Hey Cynthia. You said Glen makes up quotes and history.. Prove it!

I’m a bit shocked that Glen didn’t move on to other issues after the first break.
It was a waist of time yes but needed. Massa’s type of incompetence needed to be fully exposed, as sadly there are others like him in Congress.
Now more than ever we need people who believe that character, honor and “my word is my bond” to step up. And get in the fight.

He evaded all requests for proof of wrong doing in Congress and the White House for 45 minutes of bloviating. At least we saw the color of his stripes. Thanks Glenn.

Walter   March 9th, 2010 - 6:45 pm

It was one of the worst interviews I have ever watched. Beck was pathetic: terrible questions, no follow up, more of a series of Beckian posturing about some joke only he got. Why didn’t he ask Massa a series of specific pointed questions: what did the President say to you; what did Nancy Pelosi promise you; what have you heard from your colleagues about the pressure put on them…? What a waste of an opportunity to tear back the White House/Congress code of silence. Beck is too full of himself.

odiefaye   March 9th, 2010 - 6:45 pm

Obviously Massa is a bottom-feeder. I thought G was going to walk off the set. Probably should have. Yeah, I want back an hour of my life.

U missed the mark Glenn – we did learn something that affects the people – Massa admitted on your show that they spend 5-7 hrs a day calling begging for money – and they’re told how to do it better with coaches (no doubt paid to do so with Gov’t. money) – so HOW DOES THAT NOT AFFECT THE PEOPLE – it does – and there were many other things learned from your show today – if you would listen – and be an interviewer, rather than an ‘activist’ – I love your show – and today was the 1st time I really said – ‘Hey – follow up on that comment – what about that?’ So – I was sort of offended when you didn’t really take a moment to stop thinking ahead about how to ‘get him to say what you wanted to hear’ and listen to what he was saying and form questions in response to the things he WAS SAYING. The only time that was wasted, in my opinion, was the time you spent railing on things he either wasn’t going to or couldn’t say anything about – and not noticing the things he said and delve into those things – specifically about the ‘bribery’ thing – ‘it’s legal’ isn’t a reason that it should go on – how about investigating how to get that stopped? Or at least asking for names on that issue then?

Just my opinions here – but I really wasn’t thrilled with your interviewing skills here – cause you seemed to have an ‘agenda’ of your own here – rather than really going with a ‘live interview’ where you react and ask according to whats said.

ehiggins101   March 9th, 2010 - 6:47 pm

terrable interview by beck! Lousy questions.

aliceinnj   March 9th, 2010 - 6:47 pm

Glen, at least you tried…. No one else out there is brave enough to do what you do… Despite threats to your family you are a real fighter without the spin. Keep doing what you do. Just don’t invite anymore sleazeballs… your show is much more then pages of the National Enquirer…

Ylem   March 9th, 2010 - 6:48 pm

Come on! If you people don’t realize that Massa was used to embarrass Beck, you’re naive. This is what Dems do. They come out against their party in a tirade then switch back. I’ve seen this stuff go on in New York so much that I’ve started to wonder if it isn’t on purpose. They have been after Beck and he took the bite. Massa is a pig who would sell his mother for a vote.

Dale Caruso   March 9th, 2010 - 6:48 pm

I really don’t know what he expected. Or what anyone expected from Massa.
We have a treas sec who cheated on his taxes.
a chair of the Ways and Means committee that ethically an abomination
A Congress and an Administration that can’t sell a “health Care” reform package ON ITS MERITS
Congressmen and Senators (OF BOTH PARTIES) that have been openly exposed as being involved in various illegal behavior
Legislators who OPENLY display utter disregard for the document that they are SWORN to up hold and defend (THE CONSTITUTION)
Legislators who have utter and blatant disregard for their EMPLOYERS – The American Public
Who find it necessary to bribe – albeit legal – their fellow legislators to vote “their way”
Who “investigate” the likes of a Bernie Madoff for his “Ponzi Scam” – yet so fervently support the BIGGEST Ponzi Scheme ever devised .. Social Security
Who make statements like those of Speaker Nancy Pelosi … “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it.” – it is hauntingly similar to this passage from Milton Mayer’s book – They Thought They Were Free – - The Germans, 1933-45
“”What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. ”
Exactly what more could Massa added to the mix, that WE THE PEOPLE repeatedly ignore?

ReConUSMC   March 9th, 2010 - 6:49 pm

Cynthia March 9th, 2010 – 6:14 pm
Beck wastes everyone’s time – daily — as he makes up quotes and history — I keep expecting to hear he is interviewing the founders.
*********************************
One easily suspects you long for Machiavelli , Marx , Lenin,Mao , Alinsky , Obama and Communism {History } you trust ? Moronic !

Poor Cynthia our Forefathers made “”This “” Country far greater than any country ever ,
Through slavery ? Never ……… far left less than then the rest of the world put together (moslems ) …… especially Africa worse today than 500 years ago .

Susan   March 9th, 2010 - 6:49 pm

Yes, I agree, Glen… this idiot was a complete waste of time! The Dems have finally flipped out. Liberalism IS a mental disorder and we are seeing it daily now. The entire party has gone absolutely insane and we are supposed to believe anything any of them have to say. The inmates are running the show folks and it’s time to take back our country and NEVER take anyone’s word again that they care about this country or the American people just because they belong to xyz party. Let’s shut them down folks… all of them! “you won’t know what’s in the bill until it’s passed!!!!” from our queen Pelosi!!! told you… insane, absolutely insane!!!

Thank you Glenn. We love you and thank God every day that you are there to cheer us on! I think you are the second Paul Revere and George Washington rolled into one. Thank you for giving us the courage to stand up and fight the monsters before we completely lost our country. As for this useful idiot called Massa, he’s just looking for his 15 minutes of fame… well, he got it… now, let’s tune him out. Remember, Saul Alinksy’s playbook says to cause as much disruption as possible so no one knows what is going on.

What I want to know is… what is the con artist in the White House doing while he entertains us with his health care debate. Watch this hand… keep watching this hand…

KM   March 9th, 2010 - 6:49 pm

Please post the rest of the interview after Glenn made that statemnent. He backttracked some.

iknowmassa   March 9th, 2010 - 6:50 pm

Served with Massa in Navy for 2 years. Have not seen him for nearly 20 years. I do not like him, and foul language is only one of his many flaws. He himself is a bully and thug and hides behind his office. I know that if he wasn’t a commissioned officer, he would have gotten a serious beatdown. He ran the Beck show and didn’t provide a single gleaming light of anything that wasn’t already known or suspected. No smoking gun. He didn’t understand what Glenn wanted? Give me a break. He drove that 55 minutes the way he wanted. It was the E.E. MASSA Show, and Glenn was gracious. I kept expecting Glenn to throw him off the show. Laura Ingraham had it right earlier today regarding Massa, she said, even a broken watch tells the correct time twice a day.

Rational Conservative   March 9th, 2010 - 6:50 pm

I don’t think the appropriate response to the now irrelevant MSM is propping up some whiny girlyman like Glenn Beck. I’ve thankfully only caught a few clips of the guy on the internet – but he appears to be very earnest in his antics to firmly plant the douche in the bag. Yeah, I’m glad FOX News finally got around to delivering the other side of the news – but this guy is just painful to watch. Did he really think he was gonna bring some Democratic shill from NY on his show to “expose” the Socialist machine? Then again, Tammy Faye routinely dressed up like a clown and people still sent her money – so hey Beck – You GO, girl! I’m glad your ego allows you to believe that your show actually does anything more than rehash crap I already read on the internet.

bulldawg   March 9th, 2010 - 6:51 pm

JUST ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE SH@t HITTING THE FAN, Get right America because the day of reckoning is about to happen.

ron   March 9th, 2010 - 6:51 pm

Beck is the liar. He said, this is the first time he’s wasted the viewers time. Nah, he wasted the viewers time everytime.

Wyott Ordung   March 9th, 2010 - 6:51 pm

And to think that Massa is probably the sanest and most coherent of the ‘rats. Heh.

awr   March 9th, 2010 - 6:51 pm

Apology accepted. I turned it off.

CodeWarrior   March 9th, 2010 - 6:52 pm

Glenn, interviewing a sorry idiot like that does not reflect poorly on you or your show. To your point, the guy is a certainly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Keep doing what your doing, keep up the fine research and don’t let any of the opposition get you down. Remember what David Brinkley said…”Success is making a firm foundation from the bricks people throw at you.”

fishwoman   March 9th, 2010 - 6:52 pm

The former congressman was obviously trying to save his kneecaps. Someone got to him. I suggest O’Reilly have his body language expert analyze the tape of Glenn Beck’s show. His rapid eye movements were telling. Nice try Glenn.

Brennus   March 9th, 2010 - 6:52 pm

Massa looked credible to me. I believed his story. Your a great teacher and patriot however that was not a waste of time IMO.

Carl   March 9th, 2010 - 6:54 pm

Glenn what were you hoping for?

Im happy with this interview because both of you (Massa & Beck) look like fools!

Washington is so rotten and corrupt on both sides of the establishment isle all the way up to the presidency and our media wont even stick up for the wrong doings to the average American!

Nancy   March 9th, 2010 - 6:54 pm

I don’t know Glenn, don’t beat yourself up over this…I have NO DOUBTS that kind of bullying goes on in Washington..NO DOUBTS at all so if Massa is telling the truth, the naked truth should be known. The reality is the whole bunch of politicians in that city are corrupt and until ALL Americans acknowledge that FACT, not much is going to get better..only worse.

BBart   March 9th, 2010 - 6:55 pm

Glenn did everything he could do to lead Massa to talk. He had nothing more to say and I feel for Glenn, he did what he could.
Anyone ripping on Glenn probably have an agenda. Someday when you have a family and live for things other than yourself, you’ll understand his passion to honor our
country and to give them a future. At this time our nation has a very bleak future thanks to a very ugly system.
God speed Glenn, catch you tomorrow on the Insider Extreme

Gary   March 9th, 2010 - 6:56 pm

Cynthia: Beck wastes everyone’s time – daily — as he makes up quotes and history — I keep expecting to hear he is interviewing the founders.

“Tell me Cynthia, have you looked up his quotes and checked the history that he states? With out doing that, you have shown your ignorance in making that statement. You need to read his book, ARGUING WITH IDIOTS to find the facts. There are 25 pages in small writing, telling you where he got the facts. Check it out, it might help you under stand better.

BobStrebs   March 9th, 2010 - 6:56 pm

Don’t sweat it Glenn! You stopped wasting my time back when you were beating the drums for war against Iraq when alleged Iraqi 9/11 terrorists and WMDs were all you could shout about. You were a failed time-waster then and you still are. Thanks for the apology. Accepted. Now get off my computer!

Bob from Jersey   March 9th, 2010 - 6:56 pm

Hey Massa. You should have stopped the 8hr days getting campaign funds & doing the job you were elected to do in the time you have left. WHAT A LEGACY you could have left for your family. Instead, what a coward you are. Great job Glenn. It was not a waste of time but an insight of whats going on in DC. NO SUPRISE!!

Acerdude   March 9th, 2010 - 6:57 pm

Glenn Beck’s faith is a total lie too. Believe me I know what I am talking about.
I have seen Mormonism in action for over 25 years and it is dangerous.

I stopped watching after 40 minutes. Total waste of time, so unlike Glenn Beck, but I’ll tune in tomorrow, as usual.

My take on Massa’s body language… lots of eye blinking… dishonesty.

delquattro   March 9th, 2010 - 6:58 pm

I would have dumped him after the first segment when he tried to say he resigned for using inappropriate language. This is the party that circled the wagons around a president who enjoyed fellatio in the Oval Office from an intern. Still, your show wasn’t a total waste – your audience got see, first hand, what an absolute flake Massa is. Massa is hiding something.

James   March 9th, 2010 - 6:59 pm

Liberalism is a Mental Disease and now, thanks to the corrupt stylings of Hussien 0bama, Nanzi Piglosi, and Scary Reid, there is NOTHING left in the democrat party but far left Marxist pigs. They’re ALL infected!!

Vote every last one of these stinking liberals out!!!

And then DEMAND Term Limits be passed once the GOP has control. We must be just as agressive with the GOP after the November 2010 liberal slaughter is complete. We MUST press the GOP to enact TERM LIMITS immediately for both sides to help put an end to this filthy corruption in DC

…that’s my 2¢ anyway…

ibsoonerfan   March 9th, 2010 - 7:01 pm

Yet another lying dem looking for fame, and he did it on FOX cause they have viewers. this man has dirt im sure but to much of a wimp to spill it! what a slime bag!

It’s a Blago interview all over again. This guy Massa clearly shows there is a “Massa” pulling his strings.

azmick   March 9th, 2010 - 7:03 pm

Makes me wonder if a lawyer talked with Massa,,,, or a book publisher

Jed Skillman   March 9th, 2010 - 7:03 pm

The interview left me wondering how many more ding-bats are in Congress.

Massa didn’t just show up in the House of Representatives one day; somebody had to think he should be in Congress. He went through the Democratic nomination process, he got endorsements, attracted supporters, drove around his district making speeches, appeared in debates, etc. Democratic Party insiders were around him day after day, and no one noticed he was a little…?

How did the Democratic officials look at this guy and figure that he was “close enough for government work”? Guys like this are passing laws that the rest of us have to live with.

This interview opens a whole different can of worms as far as I’m concerned.

SteveO   March 9th, 2010 - 7:03 pm

Doesn’t surprise me a bit. Beck is nothing but a moron with a mic and a camera. If he hadn’t lucked into the formula of masking his racist, paranoid rhetoric with “ah-gee” populism, he’d be making balloon animals and telling flatulence jokes at the State Fair. All hail, St. Glen, patron of the ignorant, unfettered by any kind of logical thought.

odius1   March 9th, 2010 - 7:04 pm

No worries Glenn, Obama has wasted a year of everyones time. He will never apologize.

James Smoksweedingswerth   March 9th, 2010 - 7:04 pm

I know Eric Massa personally – he lives up the road from me and he is the rep. for our district, replacing Randy Kuhl. Massa is a windbag, a pompous empty-headed dip-shit who loves to hear himself talk…and has no real understanding of the issues… he’s a loud-mouthed bore and he’s duller than a doorknob. BUT HE IS NOT GAY. Saying Eric Massa is gay is like saying Sandra Bullock is a man. I can see Massa patting a WOMAN on the butt or making some inappropriate comment after knocking down a few Jim Beams and soda… but he IS NOT GAY. There is no way in hell he did anything “inappropriate” with a male staffer except maybe give him hell in public.

NDSue   March 9th, 2010 - 7:04 pm

All I could think of was how difficult this man would be to live with – whether as his wife or as his children. Talks constantly, says very little, repetitive, responds to questions with non-related answers… An hour of this was ticking me off. Day after day after day of it would make anyone crazy.

Glenn, I felt your pain!

Dyannah   March 9th, 2010 - 7:04 pm

if you realize that all beck does is entertain and skew facts to fit his paranoid ramblings,….he’s never a waste of time.

HANOI JOHN KERRY   March 9th, 2010 - 7:05 pm

I will be on CNN tonight @ 10:00pm for a http://www.LIVESHOT.cc – wasting everyones time.

LindaRN   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

I agree, Glenn, Massa was tap dancing. You did a good job of pointing this out. In this case, the enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend!

pennswoods   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

We all know Obama is an ACORN thug.It’s interesting to see liberal fools whine here about Beck trying to educate the masses in 2010 about aspects of history from the last century they never heard about in our left wing dominated public schools,colleges, and universities. How many nit wits like Cynthia here ever knew that Communism mass murdered tens of millions of people who refused to go along with collectivism in the USSR and Communist China and other socialist cess pools? Thank God Glenn brought the forced mass famine and death in the USSR by starvation of over 7 million Ukrainians from 1931 to 1934 to the attention of tens of millions of people who otherwise would have never heard of it. Beck’s interview tonight was a waste of his and our time but his efforts to bring attention to the crimes of Communism in the last century are a light in the historical darkness of the early 21st centurt. Thank you Glenn.

Berean   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

Glenn, you have never wasted my time because I ignore cult members and the non-discerning riff-raff with a microphone.

Rational Conservative   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

It’s too bad we can’t THROW THE BUMS OUT of their television studios. Or out of their lavish offices on Wall Street. It’s scary to read the comments of people who are aligned with your position – then again, it’s more frightening to read the comments on the other side.
But really, do we have to abide the nutjobs? Glenn Beck literally looks like the jerkoff in college who listened to the girls cry and cock-blocked you on every opportunity – only older and sadly, even MORE pathetic with age.
I’d gladly have a beer with Bill O’Reilly – probably drink too much and then proceed to projectile vomit what was left of the night on Glenn Beck.
HOW do you people WATCH this idiot? Is there nothing else on, or are you so spurned by the MSM ignoring YOUR stories that you’re willing to allow this pathetic little man into your living rooms?
Sorry, I just thought “we” were better than that. Apparently not. Oh well…

JohnB   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

These people hating on Glenn are idiots. They use the same words and attitudes that closed down Air head America.
God liberals are stuck on stupid. Everyone of them.

odiefaye   March 9th, 2010 - 7:06 pm

yeah, SteveO, you sound like the pinnacle of logical thought.

Peewee Moore   March 9th, 2010 - 7:09 pm

Anybody but me think the definition of politician should be changed to “Liar”? Not just one party or the other I mean ALL OF THEM! None of them represent us anymore, and how could they when all those hundreds of thousands of dollars of lobby bribes are on the table? I think they should recieve no pay, no lobbiest bribes, and no security. Supply them a modest home to live in, feed them average meals, and give them the same healthcare the people on the bottom get. It would keep our leaders more honest, and insure they are in fact doing the bidding of the people. Then you would see “Change” and “Hope” http://www.myspace.com/peeweemoore

LftCstCnsvtv   March 9th, 2010 - 7:09 pm

I really don’t think that it was a waste of time, but I also see how it didn’t pan out the way it was expected to. Maybe Massa changed his mind about uncovering specific incidents of corruption and/or illegal activity.

When you are dealing with a – shall we say – nefarious organization and things reach a point where some of the rats start to jump ship, hopefully you can catch some of the rats and get some information from them. No harm in trying.

So my Senators are getting paid $170,000 a year to spend time every day calling and asking for contributions? That I didn’t know.

What bothers me is the people on the right that just wanted to stand on a chair and cry at the sight of a rat. I have no problem talking to rats to see what beans they want to spill because we know there are plenty to go around.

Glenn also   March 9th, 2010 - 7:09 pm

I don’t get the show, but I can tell you this, Glenn has done more to expose these people for who they are than anyone I can think of. I know most of his facts are correct because I was one of them. Grew up in the sixties, anti-war radical.I studied Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, Marx. I became enlightened about the left when I got interested in woodworking, opened my own business, got married and started having kids. Soon the government was my biggest adversary. Now the dems are worse than anything that I can remember. We used to call Reagan a drugstore truck driving man. I sure miss him now. It took me 30 years of studying to get where Beck got in a couple of years. Maybe I should quit drinking and hire some researchers! Glenn, Stu and Pat are in my prayers. Thanks guys..

matinva   March 9th, 2010 - 7:10 pm

Massa acted strangely like Rod Blogojevich…guilty as hell but looking for someone else to blame.
And for the clowns like ‘Cynthia’…do us all a favor if you want to be a critic. When you claim that Glenn ‘makes up quotes and history’, how about backing it up with some proof? Otherwise, you just look like the typical liberal loser…all talk and no substance…kinda like Barry Obummer.

Radical Conservative   March 9th, 2010 - 7:10 pm

tige33   March 9th, 2010 - 7:10 pm

I don’t think you wasted my time at all, Glenn. In fact it opened my eyes up even more than I realized they could be. The corruption in our government is so thick it’s like walking in wet red Texas mud. You don’t know if your shoes gonna make it out. Massa’s interview was more revealing than thought. Thank you for all you hard work and effort. Thank you.

lookyhere   March 9th, 2010 - 7:11 pm

My therapeutic opinion: Massa appears to be a shifty-eyed weasal player….and possibly bi-polar and alcoholic.

Rick Lewis   March 9th, 2010 - 7:11 pm

Well, how should I put this? A repeat of Geraldo Rivera’s infamous live network TV coverage of the opening of Al Capone’s (empty) vault would have been more interesting and enlightening. Swing and a miss, Glenn, but I’ll still tune in tomorrow.

Nancy   March 9th, 2010 - 7:11 pm

Dear Ron, (posted at 6:51)..at least Mr. Beck had the nards to call that fool out! Can’t say that much for the hypocrits you obviously get your news from! I love your passion Beck..may GOD have mercy on our dear country! With people like RON who refuse to believe that he VOTED wrongly, we need all the help we can get.

Auntie Sammie   March 9th, 2010 - 7:11 pm

Massa would have been safer had he, like Linda Trip, dished the dirt and named names. Now, he’s expendable like so much garbage. Now what we know is that Massa is a spineless jellyfish just like all the other dems who cave and vote the way the “arm twisters” want. Who got to him and what did they threaten him with? Harm to his family? If it were me, I’d have gone out with a bullhorn if they threatened me or my family.

Thanks for nutin’ and certainly not for saving our republic, Rep. Massa. You’ve just added a brick to the wall of shame on who in congress is ruining us.

Spurge   March 9th, 2010 - 7:12 pm

Glenn once again your show proved what the Democrats are. They will lie,talk in circles and say anything but tell truth. Thank you for letting him show what he really is.

Fire Eater   March 9th, 2010 - 7:12 pm

Massa is a plant. The whole thing is a Democrat scam. Massa is leaving with fat pockets.

Donald Lucas   March 9th, 2010 - 7:13 pm

I have never missed a Glen Beck show, even when he’s on some other show such as Bill O’Reilly’s. However, today I watched about 5 minutes of Glen’s interview and for the first time in over a year shut him down and changed the Channel. Since I TIVO his show every day I would have done the same thing if I had gotten home too late to see him live. Glen does not need to be defended by the likes of me. He brought Massa on his show in the hope the man would have something to help clear up the controversy. The man is a liar and a snake. I believe someone has something on the man that would humiliate him in front of his country and his wife and kids. Massa is no victim here. He is a shallow, insincere liar who does not deserve to be involved in our government.
I am glad one more Progressive/Socialist Democrat is gone from the government. Now lets get rid of the rest of them. Every single one!!

carnegie   March 9th, 2010 - 7:13 pm

How week the Democrats are.

Radpc   March 9th, 2010 - 7:18 pm

Yeah, it was a waste of time, but it wasn’t your fault, Glenzarella, it was Massa’s fault. Someone must’ve gotten to him before he came in studio. Rahm probably sent a couple of his “lads” down to the showers to talk to Massa beforehand. You know what’s funny though: it’s Massa who’s going “step-and-fetch-it” for his boss Obama. Isn’t that backwards? Shouldn’t Obama be answering to his “Massa”?

Jefe'   March 9th, 2010 - 7:23 pm

I watched it, while working on another project and not a single time did I catch what was going on in that interview. It was a waste of time, this guy Massa was a waste of time, Rahm is a waste of time. Let him go.

RICK   March 9th, 2010 - 7:23 pm

BECK IS DOING A GOOD JOB.IT SEEMS THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SUCEED ALL THE TIME IN ORDER TO IMPRESS ALL
THE LOW I.Q. POPULATION. THOSE WHO NEVER TRY ANYTHING HAVE AN EXCELLENT RECORD OF DOING NOTHING.
HAVING SAID THAT WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE LATELY BESIDES COMPLAINING ON EVERYTHING.
WHO THE HELL CAN TOP HIM AT THE MOMENT, CERTAINLY NOT LARRY KING.

dman   March 9th, 2010 - 7:23 pm

A good interview depends on both parties. Glenn did not waste our time. He gave Massa every opportunity to say what he wanted, but Massa was a clam. Glenn didn’t want to be confrontational on this one. Sometimes waterboarding is necessary, however.

Auntie Sammie   March 9th, 2010 - 7:25 pm

What’s with all the hairstute feminazi’s on here? What miserable, ugly wenches they are. If a man ever wanted them, maybe they’d sweeten their disposition a little bit. Pull up your saggy breasts, shave your chins and your legs, shower, put some makeup on and stop wearing tie died burlap sacks with macrame peace sign necklaces. Maybe then you’ll learn your place in the world.

GREEN JOB$ CZAR   March 9th, 2010 - 7:25 pm

Mr. Massa – We are hiring now for “SHOVEL READY SNOWJOBS” – http://www.M4GW.com

hadenuf   March 9th, 2010 - 7:25 pm

Glenn, Your show is never a waste of time, however this guy had me questioning my sanity with this never answering a question coherently. I enjoy your show everyday and appreciate the history lessons immensely. I also enjoy a healthy distrust in our government. I think we have a lot of dishonesty, bribes offered, bribes accepted now days, and it smells to high heaven. Keep up the good work, Glenn. You ar doing the Lord’s work.

Ray   March 9th, 2010 - 7:26 pm

In short, it was not an interview. Beck did not ask questions and then allow them to be answered to then follow-up on that answer and so on. He spent far too much time setting up each segment. He talked too much and failed to listen. He was dismissive, distant, impatient, and disbelieving. He repeated the same thing over and over about how he couldn’t believe Massa when he never allowed Massa to finish his thought. This was just Beck obsessed with Beck. I wondered when he would finally trip over his ego and this was it.

However, in light of his usual content and his history of excellence, I’ll forgive this one. But if he pulls his ego trip on someone like that again, Massa is obviously in trouble, then I’ll dismiss him as another O Reilly (a selfish demagogue who spend his free time alone in a bathroom, pants down, with pictures of himself).

So Cal Approach   March 9th, 2010 - 7:27 pm

Glenn, you tried and you were professional. But you should have taped this show and then decide if he had anything worth saying. The guy sounded like he was coming unglued before your eyes. You were gracious and gave the man some dignity. Yes, it was a wasted hour, but consider the hundreds of productive hours you have blessed us with, not to worry.

Joe Bob   March 9th, 2010 - 7:28 pm

Not a waste of time Glenn. Until we get term limits on politicians, then we are all wasting their time. He’s right, it’s just a big cash machine and money talks.

vindocusa   March 9th, 2010 - 7:30 pm

Glenn, you should have listened to Michelle.

retired   March 9th, 2010 - 7:33 pm

I believe the guy,I think he was sincere in what he said.He didn’t come up with any blockbuster info because he didn’t know of any real plots or scams that he could swear for in a court of law.This Rep.Massa was just a foot soldier who was supposed to do what the leaders told him to do.I don’t think that the party leadership would call little guys like Massa into back rooms to be part of their inner dealings.He knew only the general every day corruption like the incident in the showers with Emanuel.Put another way,where is the motive behind all of this business?What did Massa have to gain if he was playing head games?All he had to do was follow orders & vote the way he was told.He would still have his job in the House without all of this scandal hanging over him!

Bob   March 9th, 2010 - 7:33 pm

Good one, Joe! The magic underwear of Glenn Beck! How many people on this site have a clue what you are talking about?? I do. “Health in the navel, marrow in the bones”… Pay lay ale!

NotNew2Dis   March 9th, 2010 - 7:33 pm

You can tell how good Beck is by the incredible hatred and anger libtards spew against him.
The funny thing about libtards: they think they are smarter than everyone else. This is also true of the mentally retarded (Yeah, I said it!)

You know what you call a room full of liberals? A target-rich environment.

Charlie Harper   March 9th, 2010 - 7:36 pm

Glen Beck wastes peoples time every day. This isn’t news.

fred   March 9th, 2010 - 7:37 pm

Did Massa have nothing on the Dems or did someone let Massa know he better not say anything to Beck or someone from Chicago would break his kneecaps and give him some cement overshoes.

Tim   March 9th, 2010 - 7:38 pm

I’m a conservative but I think we need to hear a guy out. Glen “ME-ME” Beck
is annoying. He postures in every circumstance to make himself look good..he’s
making the sacrifices, under threat, ‘but he’s going on…!!” so why not Massa?
It seems it’s all to make Beck shine. Massa is a DEMOCRAT who may not be telling
us anything ‘new’ but he’s from the other side validating what we’ve been saying.
Secondly, who knows what threat, dirt, etc, he’s up against. Beck only wasted my
time because it was Beck doing the interview!

deni_s_   March 9th, 2010 - 7:39 pm

Glenn…you’re the best! And to those who think you “make up quotes and history”…try proving your point with facts instead of spewing liberal talking points. And try opening a history book once in a while…you might actually learn something.

JON Lussier   March 9th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

I think Beck did the best he could with that idiot!! What is scary is that Massa was actually voted into congress. It’s creepy knowing we have people like him making decisions for our country. That’s what I got out of the interview. Beck is not dumb and I think he knew right away that he was getting no where with him. ” I have seen many interviews and speeches from the Pres. that were just as boring”

BTW to all of you Beck haters… I have done research of my own on many of Becks comments and found them to be true. The first one was on VAN JONES!!! (just saying)

brewitt   March 9th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

This whole Massa thing is turning out to be a red herring.

Raul   March 9th, 2010 - 7:41 pm

Mr. Beck, you did not waste our time… not at all. You gave us a rare insight into the dark, decrepid world of DNC politics and male frolicking in the DNC showers. As if the Democrats haven’t already been painted by the brush of scandal this year? In the span of a week they’ve gone from being weekend garage painters to Monet. The picture is now a lot clearer. Thank You Glenn Beck for having the courage to have this fool on your show in the first place. It was a big risk but it ultimately paid off. Word on the street is that Chris Matthews was going to interview Massa but he was afraid of the old “double thrill down the leg syndrome” creepin’ in. I’m sure he and Massa would have erupted into a mutual on-air ticklefest and that would have been quite embarrassing for MSNBC.

gmiler   March 9th, 2010 - 7:42 pm

Beck should stick to his “classroom” and blackboard, like professor Barry and his Czars. Glenn is not quick enough on his feet to be a top interviewer and should stick to commentary. Massa is a low IQ, burned out, Liberal hack. The main reason he voted agaisnt Obamacare is that it wasn’t sufficienty Marxist. Once he got past the nude confronttaion with Emmanuel, he really had nothing else to contributre and couldn’t even back up that story. No specifics, no red meat. Cut, cut, cut.

So, Fox is moving to some hellhole MidEast sheikdom. Really. That helps explain why they’re pulling their punches more and more lately. No more talk about Obama’s actual birth certificate, school records, 39 Social Security numbers, fraudulent scholarships, non-existent student loans, travel/passport records, etc? I guess we’ll have to wait for Rev David Manning’s May 14th Obam treason trial in Harlem. Look it up, folks.

Navsup   March 9th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

Glenn gave the guy a chance to restore a man’s honor. We are in a battle for our country
and Mr. Massa has chosen to desert. He won’t be remembered for this 24 years of Naval Service
but for his 14 months of disgraced service in Congress.

Jill   March 9th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

stiggywiggy   March 9th, 2010 - 7:43 pm

What’s wrong with Beck? He finally gets a guy on from the inside who verifies experientially all he’s been saying for the last year, and he thinks it was a waste of time.

Beck acted like a jerk to the guy. “Give me something scandalous,” he seemed to say. It’s not scandalous enough that our representatives spend more than half their day begging for re-election money?

Marckus   March 9th, 2010 - 7:45 pm

Thomas Metzkrueger   March 9th, 2010 - 7:47 pm

Hey Libs, don’t forget, Liberalism IS a mental disorder – you hate Beck as much as your therapists and your mommies.

Claire   March 9th, 2010 - 7:47 pm

Glen may not be the most talented man doing an interview, but I would watch his show any day over any one of the alphabet news shows. It is on about the same time as Ophrah, and I would hurt myself before watching that babbling know it all baffoon! Keep up the good work Glen, I will be watching tomorrow. Don’t beat yourself up to much about this Massa head case. Really, what did we expect????

TerryCSA   March 9th, 2010 - 7:48 pm

He is probably sorrier for alienating his base over what he thought was a scoop from Massa. Yes Glenn, a man can lose all credibility by uttering five little words, “You people on the right…” Glenn did quite well at sabotaging himself while attacking Michelle Malkin on his radio show today. I AM one of those “You people on the right” and I WAS a Beck supporter. I AM STILL one of those people on the right, but I AM NO LONGER a Beck supporter. I’ll add Beck to the list of opportunists that are in it for the money and glory, ie: O’Reilly, Hannity, and now Beck.

BLeinemann   March 9th, 2010 - 7:50 pm

Please, do not attack Mr. Beck. He is very accurate when talking about Marxism. I lived in Germany through the rise of Hitler, then escaped the Communists in 1950, leaving behind a beloved husband who was tortured to death for helping me escape. I found out his fate when the East German government’s records were opened to the public after the fall of the Berlin wall. I also learned the names of the neighbors and colleagues who watched us and reported on all our activities.

Either Mr. Obama is very corrupt, or he is tragically naive. Please listen to Mr. Beck. He is the only one who has accurately described what can happen when collectivism and political correctness get carried to extremes. And we are very nearly there. For God’s sake, if you disagree with him, just check his facts. They can all be verified.

Tony P   March 9th, 2010 - 7:52 pm

Anyone who watches Glenn Beck is a complete idiot. What’s wrong with you people? I mean, great, be a Republican or a conservative, but at least get your “news” from an intellectual source, not a complete moron like Glenn Beck. He’s to “news” what McDonalds is to food.

TomA   March 9th, 2010 - 7:52 pm

Poor SteveO….can’t form a rational, well founded thought, so he turns on the random insult generator.

Nobama   March 9th, 2010 - 7:52 pm

It was NOT a waste of time. His refusal to come clean means someone has gotten to him and promised him something or threatened him. yesterday he went off on his own party and today he touts the party line. This interview spoke volumes about the thuggery that is going one in D.C.

fastfacts   March 9th, 2010 - 7:52 pm

It wasn’t a complete waste of time, we saw another Democrat fall apart. Sadly the Dems will replace him with someone that will vote for the bill.

You glen beck fans are truly pathetic. He makes me sick and my flesh crawl. His arrogance is a sight to behold and he acts like everyone really wants to know what he thinks. I questioned glen beck with boldness and it turns out hes a fraud. I could care less what beck thinks about anything and his show sucks a lot. Its the same crap everyday beck talking into the camera blah blah blah I’m over it. Get a clue you alcholic loser.

BRUCEVODKA   March 9th, 2010 - 7:54 pm

What was so OBVIOUS to me watching this garbage is that Massa is trying to get in front of and hide, that he’s a homosexual. It’s so plain he has contrived all this junk, Navy, saucy, cancer, campaign reform, tickle, etc. It all comes down to another “closet queen” who can’t admit it. He needs to “jump out of the closet like a Murphy bed” get rid of his wife, find a guy and get on with his “McGreevy” life end of story.

fred   March 9th, 2010 - 7:54 pm

If Glenn had gone to law school he would have known that you never ask a question of a witness unless you know the answer. Education is necessary.

John   March 9th, 2010 - 7:54 pm

No time wasted. The idea that we actually have people like this in Congress should be the wake-up call to start kicking these people out.

Until then – nor surprise here…

Cleary   March 9th, 2010 - 7:55 pm

I haven’t yet seen the show (recorded it). But from the clip shown, I believe the headline here is wrong. Because it doesn’t sound like Massa is backpedaling – it sounds like Beck initially misunderstood what Massa was saying. Of course, the show may prove otherwise, but as of now, seems like the real story is in Massa, because I agree – the entire Democrat party has been poking its collective finger in We The People’s chest demanding that we take it on faith that they’re really doing We the People’s business instead of giving We the People the business. If I have a choice between believing Massa and believing anyone – ANYONE – in the Messiah’s administration, I’m going with Massa. Obama has been a LIAR and a COWARD and a PUTZ from day one. And the more he talks, the more Americans realize it. And the more that his Wicked Witch and Mortician from Nevada talk, the more they lose the good will of We the People. I am not speaking for We the People. I don’t have that right. I just observe that increasing numbers of liberals that I know are now calling themselves moderates and even Independents. Welcome to the real world. While Republicans suck, Democrats are evil, from top to bottom. I think it’s becoming increasingly hard to be a good American and a Democrat at the same time. If you are a Democrat it looks increasingly like you are a traitor who should be shunned to the fullest extent of civil society.

levin comes on shows massa as a fruit loop
all of a sudden beck decides, ooops i messed up
and decides the parade he wants to lead is
that massa is a fruitloop
beck is a phoney. talks about founding fathers right
after levin’s book goes thru the roof
beck has no core values, just a phoney

Cleary   March 9th, 2010 - 8:03 pm

To see a real waste of time, you can do no better than to read the liberals’ comments here OR you can save a lot of time just watching the stupidest woman on the planet – the heroine of the Left – your friend and mine – Nancy “The Shrill and Vapid” Pelosi – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To. Just amazing that I have to share the same air with liberals.

Jon J Anderson Jr   March 9th, 2010 - 8:03 pm

Carolynr   March 9th, 2010 - 8:03 pm

For the comment above…Beck does a lot more than entertain. What I like best is he uses the actual sound bites from the people that state them…thus they cannot refute them….Say…Obama. His knowledge of history is great…better than what I learned in school/college.

I applaud Beck for having the courage to say to his listening audience and also call this guy Massa on his BS I apologize to for wasting your time. That took guts. Heck…we can’t even get our MSM to report ON ANYTHING…EXCEPT THIS ADMINISTRATION’S AGENDA.

Oh…I do think that Emanuel is a thug.

The Warrior   March 9th, 2010 - 8:04 pm

Yes Glenn, you’re right; It was a waste of time. But not because of you. Eric Massa wasted everyone’s time as he continues on to the last branch of the tree of paranoia. I heard your opening and you said you had no idea what was going to happen. I too, felt that this guy was going to have something more substantial to say than the flatulence that he emitted. By the half hour mark, you should have killed the interview and go to one of those standby guests. The only thing I can think happened was that the White House of B.O. Capone Jr. got to this man and “made him an offer he couldn’t refuse”. Nice try Glenn, but next time don’t dance around with the questions; ask straight out questions and accept nothing less than straight out answers.

Whatwhatwhat   March 9th, 2010 - 8:04 pm

Poor widdle TEABAGGERS! You wanted some red meat to satisfy your vile hatred and you didn’t get it did you. Massa is a liar and anyone with commonsense can see he had no credibility after changing his story so many times in a week. But you reich-wing losers will fall for anything if someone seems like they might say something bad about the Obama Administration.

You’re MORONS!!!

Bwana   March 9th, 2010 - 8:05 pm

Massa, and Dems, are all smarmy slimy weasels and TRAITORS!!

r anderson   March 9th, 2010 - 8:06 pm

Glenn you did a excellent job of showing what we have for represenatives in congress, should have all members be interviewed for a hour by you, a profound wake up call on the competency of the congressional delegation in wa. thank you..

TomM   March 9th, 2010 - 8:07 pm

I think this might have been a Democratic Trojan Horse, just like Clinton’s worthless missile attack during the Lewinsky scandals. Massa wasn’t going to run again, and was a firm Health Care “no”; why not talk him into going out early in a blaze of scandal in which it looks like Obama et al are the schemers — but on closer examination of Massa, they look normal and Massa just a dope? It’s gotta lower the anti-Dem heat. I’ll bet Glenn thinks a long time before he tries to latch on to another exclusive like this. At least he had the guts to call the game and admit being snookered.

slinger   March 9th, 2010 - 8:08 pm

love ‘ya glen, thanx for identifying that and apologizing for it- kudos
what does the whitehouse have on this guy?

Jack Frost   March 9th, 2010 - 8:09 pm

Imagine one of the arrogant leftist ‘talking heads’ apologizing or even recognizing that they may have made a mistake. Totally unheard of! I am not a big Beck fan BUT he has FAR more class and delivers MUCH more substance than the arrogant herd of leftist Obamanistas in the main stream media.

Liberal tweeters/twitters/tweets (whatever the proper name is) think that Beck was apologizing for himself on news TV. What a bunch of twits.

Algore Poopants   March 9th, 2010 - 8:12 pm

When is Mr. Gore going to be indicted?

Jack Frost   March 9th, 2010 - 8:13 pm

The venomous drivel from the Obamanista responders here is no surprize – leftist liberal arrogance has no bounds. A good decent person like Beck stands heads and shoulders above that crowd. He acknowledges when he makes a mistake, apologizes and moves on – what more (or less) should a decent person do? Such etiquette would never stick to our Dimocrat comrades.

desertswo   March 9th, 2010 - 8:13 pm

I could have told Glenn not to bring this guy on his show. I was forced to spend about a year in the same wardroom with this a-hole a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and what the good people of this country are now seeing is the real Eric James Joseph Massa. He never met someone who might help him get ahead in the world that he didn’t suck up to, and he never met a lie he wouldn’t tell to accomplish the same ends. I have no doubt that Rahm Emanuel is everything he said, but folks, it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Something his fellow naval officers learned a long, long time ago.

Penelope7   March 9th, 2010 - 8:13 pm

This is the most corrupt bunch of fools we have ever had in D.C.!!!!!!!!

Kelly   March 9th, 2010 - 8:14 pm

Glenn Beck IS what he eats and that makes him a bottom feeder. He has the worst act on TV period. This isn’t to say CNN and their cast of morons is any better. Both nets are an extension of the party of fools they seem to lean towards. The Republicans and their phony, baloney, holier than thou claim to sanity when all they’ve done is create policy to enrich oil execs, bank execs, big pharma all off of our hard earned tax dollars. Same to the taxocrats. Think about it, everyone got bailed out except those who needed it most. Even the home loan modification process has largely been a sham. Why doesn’t Beck rail against the cause of all this corruption? It’s because those are his networks advertisers.

Mr.P   March 9th, 2010 - 8:14 pm

I thought Massa would be telling Glenn how Rahm paraded around in his beloved ballerina uniform,after the shower.Maybe next time.
In any case,both are RETARDS except one is a plain old stupid ass and one is evil,and in power.

Smuggly Wainwright   March 9th, 2010 - 8:16 pm

It worked perfectly…

Showed how empty and two faced and slimy these liberal/progressive Democrats are.

It was an hour of revealing the evil in our system.
Massa out. Massa pt. 2 coming soon.

MFB   March 9th, 2010 - 8:16 pm

Do not pay attention to this, out of the ordinary, approach to the Health Care Tango, between Massa and Emmanuel. All this is the product of a little noisy quarrel among friends.

Joseph Wootten   March 9th, 2010 - 8:18 pm

Beck did the best he could trying to corral a weasel. Then, he apologized for failing. A for effort, but ultimately a waste of time. The only thing I learned was that either only weasels make it to Washington, or Rahm “Dead Fish” Emmanuel made Massa an offer he couldn’t refuse, at the last minute. I’m thinking it is a combination of both.

Jack Frost   March 9th, 2010 - 8:18 pm

Compare Beck’s relatively minor waste of an hour, a wasted hour acknowledged and apologized for, to the thousands of hours devoted to that world reknowned climatolgist (or is that Internet developer?) Gore… to the buffon in the White House who has verifiably lesser business credentials than the guy who runs you closest fast food restaurant. We indeed live in parallel universes.

NJseeingRED   March 9th, 2010 - 8:19 pm

I have to say, I love Glenn but he stunk up the joint on this one!
Massa was, I thought, really trying to answer the questions and Beck seemed a little more interested in talking and not listening. The first 20 minutes or so, I just wanted to hear what the man had to say instead of all Beck’s caveats! The interview had no direction and it didn’t seem like Beck had any questions for him — just ‘I kinda think you’re a schmuck — tell me why I’m wrong!’

B17Engr   March 9th, 2010 - 8:20 pm

RonL   March 9th, 2010 - 8:22 pm

Glenn love ya,

Massa is a weasel. He has a history of being a dirt bag; i.e., the fairness doctrine, single payer etc… He came on your show, I think as a distraction. Spread the propaganda, more misinformation from big brother. Talking a lot but saying nothing.
Keep up the good work.

tharp42   March 9th, 2010 - 8:23 pm

Glen Beck is such a total cheezeball -the pregant pauses, the folksy “awww shucks America” schtick – it’s pure charlatanism. He’s doing an act, folks.

As P.T. Barnum once said: “There is a sucker born every minute.”

That said, this Massa cat is a slimebag, despite whatever heavy-fingered tactics Emmanuel is laying on him to get his vote.

Jennifer   March 9th, 2010 - 8:24 pm

Poor Glenn had his Oprah moment. You know the author who lied about the book he wrote? And Oprah found out and raked him over the coals for it. I think Glenn really wanted to believe this democrat was different. That he would spill the beans and tell us where the bodies were buried. He isn’t a good interviewer and I wonder how O’Rielly would have handled him. Now Massa goes to Larry King I heard and gets a puff ball hour with him. The Democrats are smiling like Chesshire cats. I wanted to believe Massa was different to but after the 10th time of trying to get him to spill some beans and he wouldn’t, I knew he was no different. I listened to the 90 minute radio show Massa did and fell for his story. I’m not so sure now. But in the end, what does it matter if he’s lying or telling the truth, he’s gone. Let’s all move on, and hopefully NY will elect someone better.

I love all you RightWingNutJob/TeaBagging/Birthers!

You love a News Network? Fox Rules? Really?

Rupert Murdoch, the British Billionaire that own FOX, which pushes his agenda to weaken the USA through division of its population through million dollar talking heads!

Do you guys watch Fox News? Its commercials are for its own products, the wall street journal and National Review! Both in-house publications of this pompus Brit! I know its a corporation, he still profits from it big time ,and that is all he cares about. He bought his USA citizenship, and now is growing his billions by leading the sheep to turn into parrots! All you fools do over and over is repeat what beck/hannity/o’reily/limbaugh say, the same old catch phrases they have burned into your easily brain wahed minds!

Glen Beck doesnt care about you! He’s an entertainer, there to draw ratings for FOX! So he will make things up all day and find ways to create more buzz about himself. Look at all these fools on Fox selling their books, and speaking tours, and freedom concerts, this is what Nazi Germany was all about, rallying the people around FAKE PATRIOTIC FEELINGS!

So all you wanna be patriot gun freaks, you jesus freaks (Don get me started, that guy jesus is as credible as the easter bunny), and you that are wealthy or have some fantasy that giving billionaires tax breaks is good for the country need to know one thing the rest of us all know……you are what is really wrong with America!

DXR   March 9th, 2010 - 8:28 pm

watched for about 10 minutes. you could tell right off the guy was a wacko. but if what he said about the deals and strong arming then congress and the president need to be investigated. that 200k a year judgeship is enough to get investigated. as for obamacare if i was a betting man i would bet against the nightmare getting it. but we need to stay vigial. alley dogs when beaten just slink off but will show them selves again! we have 8months left to finish this guy off!

StopNonsense   March 9th, 2010 - 8:31 pm

I’m glad Beck called Massa out when Massa was apologizing to Rahm because I think most of us were expecting him to clarify his mess with Rahm and the WH, not this rambling apology. Did you see after Massa said he was being sarcastic then the content of the interview became credible? Massa has alot of pent-up anger at the WH but he didn’t come across very lucid at the beginning, despite what he might have intended.
.
As far as the Glenn Beck haters, we can see you came here with your own prejudices and your observations were full of nonsense. So strange that liberal radicals come across as torch bearing rabble without a balanced approach to topics. Burn and destroy any opposition. I guess that’s why Russia was able to ride communism into power and we saw the results when the Soviet Union crumbled.

Would do our country good if the liberals were to direct their energies toward making a decent Jobs bill for the families of America and getting the energy policies of this nation back on track instead of wallowing in wait while we struggle with this HealthCare bill. Or even work on a new Health Care bill instead of shoving the current unilateral bill filled with pork and bribes.

Josh In Faheel   March 9th, 2010 - 8:31 pm

He didn’t waste my time. I watch Glenn’s show every day but after 2 minutes of this guy, I realized it was a big mistake to book him for an hour and switched the channel. Tuned back in a half hour later and this time it lasted 1 minute. That guy is a kook. I also don’t appreciate the way he associated himself with crossing the line as an orgy. Go to hell Democrat.

Arnold Ziffle   March 9th, 2010 - 8:32 pm

What? Glenn Beck is what he eats? So he is Bill O’Reilly?

Cat   March 9th, 2010 - 8:35 pm

Glen is a great teacher, but a poor interviewer. He doesn’t listen, ask good questions and then get out of the way, then follow-up. He inserts too much of himself. Too much ego. Greta would have gotten some real info. in my view.

Cleary   March 9th, 2010 - 8:35 pm

@jackfrost – you are so right! great point. could anyone imagine – IMAGINE – AlGore doing anything remotely like a normal human being?

Arnold Ziffle   March 9th, 2010 - 8:36 pm

Glenn Beck compromised his Conservative principals when he started hob-knobbing with Bill O’Reilly. I think Glenn got his head stuck in the “O” after Bill gave him a good whiff.

John Smith   March 9th, 2010 - 8:38 pm

Will we get revenge at the next election. Did it ever occur to you that we might not have
another election. I can see this their wash the phrase in his mouth already ” I be’s your king
forLife”

Bill Vinson   March 9th, 2010 - 8:38 pm

Good job Glenn! You didn’t have much to work with. The “X” Congressman is an idiot. He is Like all the, “World owes me a living Liberals” He can’t say two intelligent words in a row. I swear I could pick out a Liberal in a crowd of 10,000 people. They just look, and behave, differently than clear thinking people.
More than a few people say it’s inbreeding, but I think Democrats have a direct short in the Grey-Matter.

oh Grover   March 9th, 2010 - 8:39 pm

Massa sez that he “couldn’t tell if Rahm was circumcized because he didn’t have a magnifying glass”

Ghengis Kahn   March 9th, 2010 - 8:39 pm

Glen took a gamble booking Massa, hoping for a bombshell interview. Sometimes when you gamble, you lose. Glenn, you still rock.

C2ShiningC   March 9th, 2010 - 8:40 pm

Didn’t waste my time. The clip on Drudge was enough.
I don’t have anything against Glenn,
but I’m up to here with obama, reid, pelosi and their minions jutting out their
Benito Mussolini chins and proclaiming, “We ARE the government, you are the governed.
WE will take care of you whether you like it or not!”
I’ll just watch some old Randolph Scott/John Wayne westerns until October.
Then I’ll know what to do at the ballot box. I don’t need any more “convincing”.

SocialJusticeLovingNaziChristian   March 9th, 2010 - 8:40 pm

Don’t worry, Beck. I would never let you waste an hour of my time, even though you try daily. No harm, no foul.

The fact that you mouthbreathing Teabaggers buy into Glen Beck’s obvious schtick just demonstrates the lack of critical thinking most of you are able to employ. I’d find it laughable if half of you racist morons weren’t armed to the teeth and screaching about “takin’ our country back” and “re-vo-loo-shun.”

I’ve seen the video from your rallies: Loads of morbidly obese angry white people waddling about with misspelled and grammatically incorrect signs. Says a lot about the education level of your rank and file, doesn’t it?

Ever see the “GET A BRAIN MORANS!” mullethead photo on the internet. That’s your demographic, kids.

Sean JMU   March 9th, 2010 - 8:42 pm

You people are seriously brainwashed, and it’s sad. Glenn Beck incites all of the ignorant, closet racist/full blown racist, regressive, morons in America. His show is nothing but propaganda. Look the word objective up in the dictionary if there actually is one within 100 miles of your farmhouse. Also, please generate your own opinions, not the ones of your parents.

JoAnne   March 9th, 2010 - 8:42 pm

This man is like Blago. Beck couldn’t pin him down. I would like to see what Orielly could do with him.

B Mahr   March 9th, 2010 - 8:42 pm

Glenn thought he waould speak from the heart but usual he folded..- 24 yrs service for his to end your career on? You could have been the voice that changed it all but I guess you have more to hide then you let on !!! don’t worry Glenn I’ve learned more from you then “tenured” professors….

Messa will hear form you tomorrow

THOMAS   March 9th, 2010 - 8:48 pm

I have watched Beck since he was at CNN. The guy is the real deal. I could tell from the beginning segment that he knew this guy wasn’t going anywhere. But he gave the guy a shot….the left wouldn’t be so respectfull. He need not apologize for anything. The ones that need to apologize are Obama and the majority of congress as they leave DC and get the H*ll out of our lives.

Insert witty comment here. Everyone- stfu! Nobody cares what any of you say. I read it sometimes to laugh because both extreme sides are so ludicrous. This is entertainment you morons. Beck is a star…geez- not the messiah. Did he ever claim to be infallible? Of course, all liberals know more than he does. We all know that. Conservatives want to kill the world and liberals are pacifist sissies…everyone’s heard it all. Go talk to your spouse and kids and quit wasting your time with this garbage. Morons.

Do you guys not see what happened?

I’m not a Beck hater, but Glenn looked pretty foolish here.

donna   March 9th, 2010 - 8:53 pm

Thank you for the apology at the end. I was sure you knew you were wasting your time but it was great to hear it. At least you tried but he just wasn’t going to give you the information you asked for. Thanks for all you do.

true   March 9th, 2010 - 8:55 pm

Me too, I would like to see what orielly could do to his behind too. I heard the big “O” was in a homosexual relationship with Beck. I bet Rahm could “ram” his way into the…wait a minute, I read that wrong…nevermind. JOke people…lighten up. this isn’t a revolution here…just media bs.

Kevin   March 9th, 2010 - 8:58 pm

Beck used to be funny, before he became too popular. Now he is just like most other Americans I know (crazy).

BARNEY   March 9th, 2010 - 9:00 pm

The Pitmaster   March 9th, 2010 - 9:01 pm

Glenn Beck is no idiot. I think he got caught up in the moment of this Massa deal and Glenn heard when Glenn wanted to hear. Imagine beating the drum for over a year trying to give Americans the “heads up” on this barrel of snakes and finally, you hear another voice validating your own words. I too didn’t care for Beck hooking onto O’Reilly’s wagon either. O’Reilly is no more a conservative than John McCain.

If you want to go after a sell out, go after Hannity. He gives McCain and other RINOS more air time than the mainstream media gives Obama.

Kevin   March 9th, 2010 - 9:04 pm

Glenn, we know who you are and you should never apologize for anything you’ve told the American people. You’ve been one of the only hosts that actually tells the public the truth about our government, our history and what’s about the happen in the future if the government gets their way.

AzDebi   March 9th, 2010 - 9:05 pm

Glenn could NEVER waste American’s time…he’s got more of the ball than any of them! Massa is either hiding what they really have on him or he is truly just tired of it…either way, I got the idea that he’s been through the ringer and I’d say that just the mere fact that finger pointing to your naked body by another naked guy is way over the top…what’s the matter American…not enough dirt for you? We’ve had enough as it is…the truth about all of them will come out in time…it always does…Massa truly missed the opportunity to be a true American Hero…but then, he’s a Progressive (he admitted it himself…what else would you expect?

allwornout   March 9th, 2010 - 9:05 pm

duh_swami   March 9th, 2010 - 9:06 pm

Beck is ok in some ways, but if you become a Becker, you are losing your mind…Massa is a psychological wreck, but that does not mean he is lying…
What would you do if a naked man accosted you in the shower? Punt? Only if you are a liberal…Too bad that shower scene was not taped in 3D and shown
in theaters everywhere…a star is born…Your typical Obama appointee in action…This is getting better than anything Hollywood produces…it’s a fact, ‘truth is stranger than fiction’…

brinksmom   March 9th, 2010 - 9:08 pm

You Libtard Nobama lovers who make fun of Glenn Beck had better listen to what he says. He is one of the best ever at putting pieces of information together to see what is going to happen. He can see the consequences of what Nobama and the Boys from Chicago are plotting for this once great country. None of you have a clue and you will be sorry when it comes crashing down on your thick empty heads!

Steven   March 9th, 2010 - 9:09 pm

Geez a Lou… I love ya Glenn, but this guy was a major schmo. It would have been a perfect show if you just would have started the hour out saying: “America, I have a special treat for you tonight. I have managed to bring in a real progressive live… right here in the studio to show you up close what slimey, shifty pieces of cow crap they really are”.

KarenMarie   March 9th, 2010 - 9:11 pm

Was Glenn ‘had’? I do not think that Glenn had any idea what to expect and must have been as disappointed as the rest of us.

Was he crazy for having Massa on? Crazy like a fox, no pun intended. What do you supposed today’s ratings were? And who will get credit for exposing Massa as a nut job? There is no need to watch anything about Massa anymore. Beck has shown it all. Heads up, Glenn.

Great!

D.A.   March 9th, 2010 - 9:13 pm

@everybody_dogging_beck…

Beck is not a newsman or reporter and has never claimed to be AND in fact has intimated just the opposite of being those things. Beck was waiting for the dude to drop some inside baseball and corruption tips like everyone else, so he let him tell his tale… Though Beck wasn’t needling the fella, IMO it wouldn’t matter who “interviewed” the guy, it’s likely the same “blah, blah, blah” would have come out of his mouth. The legit conclusion? Massa is trying to rewrite his own story on the way out, he’s probably telling the truth about Rahm and everything else as far as some stuff goes, BUT then purposely mischaracterizing the context of certain events to tilt opinion to his benefit. Don’t think it’s working though, bro. For now, I would file this under “I” for irrelevant retired politician.

Colonel JP   March 9th, 2010 - 9:20 pm

Massa is a coward and a fraud. He even apoligized to Emanuel on National TV. Pathetic!

meesterbig   March 9th, 2010 - 9:21 pm

The least Mr. Massa could have disclosed was whether Rahm is circumcised or not.

pam   March 9th, 2010 - 9:21 pm

I’ve always thought of Glenn Beck as an extremely sincere person trying to save our country from demise. I don’t know what to think after seeing this interview today. What happened? I couldn’t figure out what Beck was trying to do. In the beginning of the show he wouldn’t let Massa answer a single question. The momentum would start to build and he’d stop everything to take a break. Back from the break he’d painfully, slowly begin talking about what was just talked about. It was excruciating to watch the minutes go by while Beck devoured the whole show with his own personality, depriving his guest of any opportunity to say his piece. It seemed like Massa finally gave up, I don’t know since Beck wouldn’t stop talking. But I do know it was brutal to watch and I also know I’ve never sat through a Glenn Beck show wishing he would shut up and get off the screen. What a disappointment Glenn, you could have done so much better.

Rahms Daddy   March 9th, 2010 - 9:22 pm

Hey Glenn,invite Rahm on next time!Ask him about his ‘ballerina’ days!He looks so cute in tights and slippers!

margaret   March 9th, 2010 - 9:25 pm

I’m just a dumb housewife and I’ve known for approximately 24 hours that this man (Massa) is a shyster and a creep and, for some weird reason, the democrats want him gone (probably the health care vote)
To get rid of him, they dug up some dirt and are blackmailing him. He is complying but not nicely….he is lying and twisting the story to try to make himself look like a victim. Typical democrat.

Booderman   March 9th, 2010 - 9:25 pm

Michele Malkin warned him on his radio show today “not to give this waffle any time”! Glenn, listen to your friends! Love ya!

sueg   March 9th, 2010 - 9:26 pm

Maybe Massa was insinuating that Rahm threatened to harm the Massa children?
Seriously though, Massa was “spoken to”; that was obvious. He’s slimy.

Kevin   March 9th, 2010 - 9:26 pm

You all remember when Geraldo “La Raza” Rivera had this big whoop-tee-doo with Al Capones secret room/stash?

NOTHING TO SEE FOLKS

Beck blew the interview. Had the chance of a lifetime to squeeze a man who “supposedly” had nothing to lose, a congressman who knew about some skeletons.

Oh well……………

Steve   March 9th, 2010 - 9:32 pm

At least Glenn didn’t charge money for this, like he does everything else. I think he’s done a lot to open the country’s eyes to progressivism’s dangers, but he needs to get over his own ego. His interview with the great Sarah Palin was downright creepy.

A-SUCKER-BORN-EVERY-MINUTE   March 9th, 2010 - 9:36 pm

” iam sorry folks for wasting your time”……… = Masa went in a different direction than what was promise before the interview,

to sum it up in 3 WORDS ‘ I WAS PUNKED’.

oldpink   March 9th, 2010 - 9:36 pm

I agree with Glenn on much, especially liking how he forced Van Jones out into the open for unceremonious ouster.
However, I rarely watch his show, what with the overdriven angst he puts on.
He would be far better if he were much more dispassionate.
However, I have to give him at least credit for admitting that this interview with this Massa creep was a total waste of time.
A nice bit of candor.

Arizonadoc   March 9th, 2010 - 9:37 pm

Your forgiven Glen, but this doofus is what the farleft loony Peloser liberals are sending to Washington. Can anyone name a Social liberal Democrat that is not God hating, foul mouthed and in love with socialism. I see no hope for America with our current leadership. It looks like we are in for a ride and we better hope the wheels don’t come off befoe 2012.

Rahms Mommy   March 9th, 2010 - 9:40 pm

Rahm always was a girly-boy.Never one to physically face an opponent.Always choosing to call names and throw rocks while running away.He was such a lovely ballerina.No grace though,just evil.

AzDebi   March 9th, 2010 - 9:42 pm

You know what REALLY scares me???? Glenn started the “Refounders”, when was that? Back in September or earlier? He has said that he has a “few” who have stepped forward…how scary is that? ONLY A FEW…I think he was praying this would be a bigger explosion in the face of Washington to really encourage the “fence sitters” to come forward…sad day in America…Massa could have really made a difference…thanks for trying Glenn…you’re amazing that you just keep on plugging away! OH, by the way, Massa said we should all quit with the “name calling”…well…if they were anything but a bunch of lying sneaks…and if they really put their agenda out for America to vote on…then we’d quit with the names! They deserve to be “labeled”!

Bryan   March 9th, 2010 - 9:47 pm

Was it just me or did anyone else pick up on Glenn’s frustration that Massa would not provide any new details of corruption in Congress?

I don’t think Glenn was played at all.

It was only because he is the gracious host that he did not throw Massa out of the room very early in the interview. Yet he continued to try and offer him every way out and tell us the truth.

Sadly, all we can do as the public is throw the bums out.

tbne   March 9th, 2010 - 9:47 pm

I KNEW we all were had – when psycho-Massa said “Americans should stop calling each other names….” ???

Talks like a Socialist/Communist
Walks like a Socialist/Communist
Thinks like a Socialist/Communist
Acts like a Socialist/Communist

Ricky   March 9th, 2010 - 9:49 pm

If nothing else, we learned that Rahm “dead fish” Emanuel is a finger pointing, White House thug who think’s that he’s a real badass. Can’t wait to see him go down with his boss.

Arnold Ziffle   March 9th, 2010 - 9:49 pm

All of you continue to defend Glenn Beck? He has been compromised by the submoron, Bill O’Reilly. A few weeks ago he said anyone believing that obama has citizenship issues is “dangerous”? Birthers(who comes up with these terms?) are dangerous, and is grouping them in with 9/11 truthers? He called Alan Keyes dangerous? Glenn Beck can go “BLANK” himself!

I listen and agree with beck about 90% of the time, but he is definitely changing. If none of you are willing to see this, I guess we can start calling you “Head Baggers”?

Hey Glenn Beck Haters: it must suck to be you. While your precious MSM like Olbermann and Maddow’s ratings flush down the toilet, Beck’s ratings will keep getting higher and higher. If Beck is irritating you, then he’s doing something right.

Grant Turner   March 9th, 2010 - 10:03 pm

Massa (isn’t that slave lingo?) helped Obama today and revealed the following: he has the mind of a valley girl; Beck was too conscious of Massa’s wife being there and went to a commercial each time he had nothing to say; our culture has degenerated into nonsense. Welcome to the Idiocrisy. We are, as Neil Postman said, “Amusing Ourselves to Death.” It started with the O.J. Trial. It’s going to end with the Obama Presidency.

NJshoreGuy   March 9th, 2010 - 10:03 pm

Beck is so damn sleazy. He was dying for some BS he could blow out of proportion and distort. He was completely denied an oportunity to slime the Democrats…I love it!! Go back to the morning zoo you came from you freaking douchebag.

was massa threatened?   March 9th, 2010 - 10:04 pm

so they got to massa.
i wonder what they threatened him with?

Slayer   March 9th, 2010 - 10:07 pm

Look at all the jackasses here going off on Beck as if HE was the one who wasted your taxpayer dollars for years, as if HE was the one who fondled boys, as if HE was the one who helped get wacky laws passed that would restrict your freedom and hit your wallet, as if HE was the one who is corrupt.
Get your heads on straight people, Beck isn’t your problem. Neither is Palin or Bush or Limbaugh. This Congress needs to be voted out or run out at the end of pitchforks.

MassN8V   March 9th, 2010 - 10:09 pm

A host baits his audience and throws caution to the wind in order to deliver false testimony on national television so that he can foment anger false anger and fear for the sake of higher ratings: This is Glenn Beck on a daily basis. Except for tonight!! The ranting on Beck’s site yesterday and this morning promised a come-to-jesus moment for Healthcare Reform and what we saw was Beck floundering for a even a scrap of dirt during an over-hyped Massa interview. Beck with egg on his face. What a chump! Beck still has his millions though$$$$$$ he’s paid for his ratings, not his truth telling, so he’ll sleep well tonight.

Veritas   March 9th, 2010 - 10:11 pm

Sorry Glenn, but you should have taken Malkin’s advice on this one. It was a waste of time. This guy is greasy and he smells up the whole room! I felt like I needed a shower after watching that. Sure, we all know Rahm is a stinky fish as well, but this guy is in the same club house. Truth be told, he was probably holding out for some graft and Rahm told him to vote the way the WH wanted or else they would take him out. He played his cards wrong and now he is done. Pure Chicago Thug politics!

Glenn tried, but it was painful for me to watch. People like Massa self-destructing on national tv just have that effect on me. I kept hoping Glenn would move on to some other line of questioning when he realized this guy wasn’t going to squeal on the whole democratic party. What about asking him about the characters Obama surrounds himself with that Glenn always talks about? Glenn was like a deer in the headlights. That said, the congressional “bathhouse” must be some swingin’ place! If those shower stalls could talk…! What other seedy “congressional gym” stories will we have to endure? The imagery is very disturbing. I just hope it does not involve Kevin Jennings. Sadly folks, we pay for this lunacy.

Miravi   March 9th, 2010 - 10:22 pm

There was no place for Mr. Beck to say “Sorry, America, I’ve wasted your time…”. It is for us , the viewers to determined if we gained or not from this interview. Glenn’s remark was an insult to the Congressman Massa and to the viewer. -I’m an avid viewer of the Glenn Beck Show.

Pete   March 9th, 2010 - 10:23 pm

Dear Glenn,

Learn how to ask a Yes or No Question! I love your show and I support you 100%

However, You really did waste my time today. I purposely didn’t go see Alice in Wonderland because I wanted to watch you out the corruption of the Government. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and I’m gonna have to way 7 days for the next Free Popcorn Day! I just wish you would be willing to have Massa leave your set… it seemed like you were trying to avoid it. By asking 80% of a tough question and then backing off and then taking a break. Seriously.. You have Massa there to tell his story… he didn’t do that… he just beat around the bush for an hour. It was wildly annoying. And really frustrating because we all know he has dirt that the American Public needs to know… I’m really disappointed today at such a wasted opportunity. I’ll be tuning in tomorrow though to hear your take and commentary on the Interview that wasn’t.

Sincerely,

Pete, Boise,

Bob F.   March 9th, 2010 - 10:24 pm

Springer   March 9th, 2010 - 10:28 pm

It is truly amusing to watch democrats pretend that they have moral values… that
they are actually insensed by someone’s alleged unethical behavior. It is equally
laughable when they get on their soapbox and expect that people are going to
believe anything they say.

Julia   March 9th, 2010 - 10:30 pm

Ha! Glen Beck = Epic Failure!

Anne   March 9th, 2010 - 10:34 pm

Glenn is a fraud! Massa has an important story to tell about how Chicago-style politics of intimidation and threats is now evidently standard operating procedure in this White House. Very distrubing! Yet Glenn just brushes it off and says he’s wasted our time having Massa on. Glenn is NOT on the American Patriots’ side! Wake up, people! He is here to lead this conservative, Constitional movement down a dead end. Watch this guy! He is NOT what he pretends to be!

dt520   March 9th, 2010 - 10:37 pm

seriously, don’t apologize for wasting one hour. i’m a college student and i’ve lost countless hours listening to a professor try and ram crap down throats instead of teach, they haven’t said a damn word.

Pyronaught   March 9th, 2010 - 10:38 pm

Michelle Malkin tried to warn Glenn what a douchebag Massa is today on his radio show and he wouldn’t listen. I think he should have done more homework on this dimwit before mucking up his show with him. He just got lured in by Massa’s Washington-gone-wild talk from the other day. But hey, at least Glenn apologized! The MSM wastes your time on a daily basis and you never hear them apologize.

Jon   March 9th, 2010 - 10:39 pm

Beck didn’t get his hard hitting, sensationilized, tabloid interview he wanted? Poor guy will have to wait until tomorrow to get back to the lies, fear, and propaganda that he is so famous for providing.

LOP   March 9th, 2010 - 10:44 pm

More than 90% of you guys are looking for the downfall of one man and that is not Rham. Keep looking and you

Jerry Rivers   March 9th, 2010 - 10:51 pm

Reminds me of Al Capone’s vault.

Jersey Bob   March 9th, 2010 - 10:56 pm

Put yourself in Glen’s shoes: It’s 20 minutes into the show with 40 minutes to go and you know you’re dying in front of millions of viewers who tuned in expecting to hear bombshells about DC politicians from a guy who, in the radio sound bites heard a couple of days before his appearance on Beck’s show, sounded like he was on a mission to personally blow the roof off of DC corruption. Instead, Massa treated Glen and the viewers to 60 minutes of shucking and jiving. The upside of this debacle is the unbridled joy that Beck has given to his enemies in the media, who will enjoy near orgasmic spasms while airing their comments. No doubt Matthews will experience more than a “tingle up his leg.”
Glen, don’t be too upset. Who else among your peers would have had the guts to do what you did on live TV….none! Valuable lessons were certainly learned from this incident. Moreover, in my book, you picked up a lot of points for daring to gamble on providing an explosive live hour for your viewers. Keep up your outstanding work.

Clay   March 9th, 2010 - 11:03 pm

Now would Massa had said ONE word about Rahm and the other corrupt scumbags in D.C. had he not been exposed tickling staffers? Impeach all of Washington before they destroy us all for God’s sake.

Mike   March 9th, 2010 - 11:03 pm

Glenn’s strength is not interviewing politicians and holding their feet to the fire. His strength is investigative reporting. Digging for the truth, uncovering and exposing corruption, exposing Obama’s radical appointees, and socialists in Obama’s administration.

Bill O’Reilly would have picked Massa’s bones clean and gotten everything out of him. Did Obama, Pelosi, Stoyer and Emanuel force Massa to resign? We still don’t know because Massa has now changed his story. We do know he is one less no vote against Obamacare. Now Pelosi is one vote closer.

Chicago860   March 9th, 2010 - 11:04 pm

WIlkey   March 9th, 2010 - 11:05 pm

LARRY FLYNT   March 9th, 2010 - 11:05 pm

Rahm-a-lama-ding-dong likes to confront troublesome Dems in the shower?
He might want to consider a different venue when he needs to crack Bowney Fwanks’ noggin.

RobertB   March 9th, 2010 - 11:07 pm

What was the guy suypposed to tell us? That Rahm and his puppet Obama are dirtier than Nancy Pelosi’s panties? No kidding. No big news there. And it’s not like Massa is the only corrupt, gay pervert in the Democrat Party. Throw a dead cat and you’ll hit one.

BARNEY FRANK   March 9th, 2010 - 11:09 pm

I wish Rahm would POKE and JAB me in the shower!

len   March 9th, 2010 - 11:14 pm

Obama to Rahm when told to bend over, “Yes, Massa”.

Sunny   March 9th, 2010 - 11:15 pm

Beck gave the guy to give a reason for resigning…he kept asking why waving the white flag…stay there and fight for your honor if you’re not guilty. Massa said he was not guilty but tired, possibility of cancer revisiting and sick of the political game, wanting to be more with his family and to just go on with his life without politics. I don’t know if the man was telling the truth or not. I cannot judge but tended to believe him. I commend Glenn Beck giving the guy a chance to give truthful reasons for his resigning. I’m not about judging anyone but believe Glenn Beck went out on the ledge interviewing him in an effort to get more of Washington corruption out of him. And I believe mission accomplished Glenn Beck. You did not waste a minute of my time. When will people wake up too this.

Zeke   March 9th, 2010 - 11:21 pm

Hey Glen your massa interview reminded me of the Jerry Rivers and the Al Capone’s safe show

Elaine Huber   March 9th, 2010 - 11:23 pm

It appeared to me that Glenn failed to get what he expected from former Representative Massa likely for the same reason that people back away from a challenging interaction: They are not feeling as though they are being granted the opportunity to speak.

Interestingly, it was only during the last two or three minutes of the program — after Glenn “gave up” getting what he was after — that Rep. Massa seemed to feel free enough to begin providing the opportunities that could have been used to gently probe with “Tell me more about what you mean when you say that Rahm Emanual is good at making enemies.” That kind of “tell me more” interaction not only could have assured Rep. Massa that he was being “listened to” but also could have comfortably and productively guided the conversation in a way that would likely have elicited the very things Glenn was interrupting to obtain — specific examples.

No, the interview was not a waste. For me it was a re-affirmation that adopting the kind of “go-my-way” conversational tactics that Bill O’Reilly appears to be adopting is not all that productive — as well as less than civil.

rocky   March 9th, 2010 - 11:31 pm

Ha,all you libtards are on here protecting your sacred manchild loser kenyan POS,this is all a distraction from the communist scum in chief and his ape wife,dont worry the day will come when he will be thrown in jail and people will march on DC And throw all the scumbags out starting with you liberaldouchebags! ha ha ha ha ha yeeehaw GO GLENN GO!!!!!!!

I like Glenn Beck. But boy he got screwed on this one. He did himself a favor by apologizing but boy did this go bad!!! I am confused.

mar   March 9th, 2010 - 11:40 pm

subjecting a democrat to scrutiny is like trying to pick up a slimy worm.

robert   March 9th, 2010 - 11:43 pm

This only proves Glen was unprepared for this interview and that all politicians and their staff (Rahm) are scum, especially Chicago criminal scum. There is only one way to stop/fix this mess and no one wants to face that reality although sooner or later we will have to.

gamechanger   March 9th, 2010 - 11:57 pm

Massa, like everybody else is being either blackmailed or bribed.

Pontus   March 10th, 2010 - 12:05 am

Beck is a shill for the New World Order.

Chuck   March 10th, 2010 - 12:06 am

Glen has a great opinion show…. I liked Dobbs better but oh well… I think the right should get away from this guy as fast as they can. Let MSMBC eat ther own.

RGallegos   March 10th, 2010 - 12:09 am

It was a great hour of television. I was glued to the screen and saw Beck as a frustrated interviewer who could not get the “smoking gun” but still revealed a tragic figure in Massa. No matter if the naked Emmanuel or frakkin remark is true or even worse than he says, he reveals that the corruption in DC is larger than we might even think. I think of all things that Beck should be proud of is that he gave the guy a chance to come clean and Massa blew it.

Mike Johnson   March 10th, 2010 - 12:12 am

Should have had Mike Baker interview him.

dave   March 10th, 2010 - 12:21 am

Glen, I’m not disappointed. With most people on the left and the right jumping to conclusions about this guy and not letting him speak or looking at the evidence, you did. There is nothing wrong with that, and I don’t feel that my time was wasted at all.

comcass   March 10th, 2010 - 12:22 am

There may be a few things that Beck says that are true. For the most part he is a lying bag of hot air. All his crazy conspiracies can’t be true. I find him as annoying as a Pentecostal-screaming preacher. According to some of these comments I’m sorry I missed this show though.

mch20s   March 10th, 2010 - 12:23 am

Glenn makes it all up, like the Constitution!!! Have you guys ever heard of that before, you know the greatest document in history that every politician and drive by media expert pisses on everyday. That document that our President, House Speaker, and Majority Leader swore to uphold and all they do is rip it to shreds. That document that the majority of Americans have been brainwashed about its existence. He made all that up……… Some of you people out there are priceless. If you don’t like our country the way it was founded…… leave, please. Go to Cuba where it is so great or even Venezuela. There are plenty of places for you nuts to go. Why try to bring down the greatest country in the world. I just don’t get it. Glenn Beck is fighting everyday to preserve what is left of our Republic. I wish we had more people like him.

doug young   March 10th, 2010 - 12:24 am

Glen Beck should be fired for doing such a lousy job interviewing a newsmaker like Massa. He had a great opportunity to garner breaking news from a congressman who had just resigned his post. But instead Beck showed how incompetent he is. Larry King did a much better job with Massa later in the day, and Beck should review the tape to see how a pro handled that opportunity. Sorry Glen, but you’re a big a loser as Massa is.

StopNonsense   March 10th, 2010 - 12:28 am

Wow ! Just had an eye-raiser here. If you GO TO THE ENTRY of “Sean JMU March 9th, 2010 – 8:42 pm” and click on his name. Lo and behold, whitehouse.gov website pops up. Gee how non-committal!

Rex   March 10th, 2010 - 12:30 am

Beck is a bloated little water soaked toad that is a disinformation agent for the sick guys. I pray the Black dragons come and eliminate all of these folks. Blow me if you don’t understand my communication.

upthecreek   March 10th, 2010 - 12:31 am

Massa is a scum bag from a town of scum bags…Rahm is an Evil Person

americangirl1974   March 10th, 2010 - 12:53 am

Beck was set-up BIGTIME tonight. Rahm set the bait and Beck took it. Just goes to show what a-holes we have running this country. Beck is a fighter and Demo-rats better watch out.

Sci   March 10th, 2010 - 12:55 am

Both these phony tarts are full of shit. Any of yout hat believe anything that comes out of Beck’s mouth are just like ultra liberals who believe anything Nancy Pelosi says. You can’t take someone serious or intelligent when they put their vanity in front of their “supposed message”

Mike   March 10th, 2010 - 1:03 am

Glen,
I guess one of the most important things we learned about that hour is how bad it really is, it showed how are politicians are experts at answering questions without answering them and in the process looking as slimy as they come, I need a shower after watching today. Glen, I admire you, but if anyone sidesteps you like that again, grill them, or tell them to get the hell off your show.

craig   March 10th, 2010 - 1:04 am

Beck is a joke!! He’s a second rate commentator and crybaby. He steals material from others and runs with it.

tharp42   March 10th, 2010 - 1:07 am

Just look at rocky’s comment:

“…Kenyan…” “…communist scum in chief…” “…his ape wife…”

There ya go Teabaggers. Showing your true racist colors again and again and again.

Ignorant rednecks. Just go ahead and bust out the sheets. We all know that’s what you’re dying to do.

Trudy   March 10th, 2010 - 1:08 am

Ya know what Rex, you’re an idiot! Glenn is great at what he does. This interview just didn’t go where he wanted it to go. Massa really just wanted media time. You go Glenn! You are the greatest ever.

Marko   March 10th, 2010 - 1:08 am

Well, you win some, you lose some. If you let an eel onto your show you get slimed. Oh well, tomorrow’s another day.

Richard   March 10th, 2010 - 1:09 am

Glenn,
You Didnt waste my time, in 10 minutes I realized this guy was just a liberal with nothing to say so I went to the range and slung some lead. I will still get my weekly 15 hours of Beck radio and 5 hours of TV. The best political education in broadcast media.

kathi   March 10th, 2010 - 1:12 am

These Washington nuts just keep coming and Glen should not give them the pleasure of wasting our time — Glen, you are a great teacher of our country’s history. Please continue that and leave these jerks to destroy themselves. Rahm, the ballerina, is a very sorry story – as is much of Washington. COMCASS: the only bag of hot air is in the White House and the Speaker’s seat.

Calvin&Hobbes   March 10th, 2010 - 1:14 am

Glenn, even when we fail we grow stronger.

You should feel like Hercules right about now.

It wasn’t your fault. This sleazebag is part of the corruption he speaks of.

I believe there is more to this story than what this idiot Massa was generalizing about.

I am a loyal Glenn Beck fan. This has not deterred me.

USMCCOMCAM   March 10th, 2010 - 1:16 am

The interview had a bad feel from the start and it only spiraled from there. This was indeed not typical of Glenn Beck and I think it was spot on for him to call it out and apologize like he did. I was expecting him to shut it down at about the 30 Min mark.

Marko   March 10th, 2010 - 1:18 am

Actually after listening to the segment above, it’s not all that bad. As Trudy says, maybe Glen didn’t get red meat, but that’s okay. Even if Massa got free face time it’s not a loss, just another day in the business.

No Back Benchers...please...   March 10th, 2010 - 1:19 am

Personally, I spend my time with Rush, Levin (aka The Great One) and Savage.
Never, ever is this wasted time. Guaranteed!

Zapparules   March 10th, 2010 - 1:27 am

What is Beck’s goal?
Besides attempting to individually profit as much as possible by spewing as divisive as possible ignorant statements, Beck interjects the belief that America is seriously broken, being led by Mao-loving communists/socialists, and must be fixed right away or doom is certain to occur.

And so what does Beck offer or do in an attempt to help stop doom from occurring and resolve the complex challenges facing our country and world? What does he do this day?
He dedicates an entire show to a failed former Republican, now failed former Democrat Representative, and potential criminal perpetrator who spent most of his time with Beck offering probably more self-incrimination rather than the ‘system is failing dirt’ Beck desires so much so as to hike his divisive-based ratings.

And what would have Beck done should Massa have actually revealed anything of tangible substance showing how failed our government system is? (Even though Massa himself is really the best example for showing such.)
Would Beck have used such evidence to hold constructive dialogue sessions that might lead to fixes for the complex problems facing us?
Hell no he wouldn’t!
He’d simply use any ‘dirt’ Massa reveals and exploit it in the way that would be most supportive to his divisive commentary against those whose ideas he disagrees with.
Would Beck offer any tangible solutions to the problems facing our country – Not just his personal endorsement of Freedom and Liberty? (Because we all know that only true conservatives respect the value and strength of Freedom and Liberty – and because we all know that complex political/social/financial problems can all be resolved via a plan that implements Freedom and Liberty.)

And I read thru these comments and not one – NOT ONE comment regarding what Massa said was the single most important thing needed to bring about change.
And that was what folks? (Most probably can’t say because they wanted to hear more shower-stories)
It was that nothing – NOTHING – will change without FINANCE REFORM. And while Massa is indeed a failed former Republican, now failed former Democrat Representative, and potential criminal perpetrator, this is at least one thing he is correct about.
And you people all support the recent Supreme Court decision that now allows corporations and large-money organizations even that much greater control of our so-called elected officials.
Amazing

I watched 2 min of countdown tonight and feel I wasted 10 years of my life.

Rudini   March 10th, 2010 - 1:29 am

Massa comes across as “Back off Rahm or I might really talk”. Self-serving, so it seems, and Glenn got used, or so it seems. But the message of “we got trouble in DC” was nevertheless reinforced. Notice how over the past couple of months even the libs are saying this? The administration seems to have pissed off the conservatives, the military, our allies, our enemies, the unempolyed, Wall Street, the Supreme Court Justices, and now even many of the libs. Wow, what a skillful concensus building machine! Thngs fall apart, the center cannot hold – or something like that seems to be around the corner.

steve   March 10th, 2010 - 1:32 am

I believe Rahmbo came in to the shower (so he couldn’t be caught by someone wearing a wire..hmmmm?) and said “Eric, I respect your opinion and you have my blessing.”

Yea, that’s it, that’s the ticket. Rahm is a nice man.

Jeff   March 10th, 2010 - 1:36 am

Rusty basically called this one.

Zapparules   March 10th, 2010 - 1:40 am

Boy, so many of you folks should come on over and comment on the Huf-Post. They’d get a real kick out of you Glenn-heads – thinking Glenn is like God and all he says and does is great. The only apology Glenn is concerned with making is one to his banker if he is unable to make his usual big deposit.

Adam   March 10th, 2010 - 1:42 am

No problem, Glenn. You at least tried to find out what was going on with Massa. And you showed us an example of what the democrats are sending to congress. The big question now is how did this bowl of fruit loops ever get elected in the first place?

mark stemmer   March 10th, 2010 - 1:43 am

I wrote to the show, so Glenn good luck next time ,you needed to be prepaired!!!

social bookmarking site   March 10th, 2010 - 1:45 am

What’s a time wasting interview.

Bruce   March 10th, 2010 - 1:46 am

The tipping point for Glenn was when Massa made a joke that he would put his own family on the front of the train and not Emmanuel.

You could see Glenn’s face change at that moment. No man who cherishes his own family would make a joke about putting them in harm’s way.

I’ve already seen clips but I will watch Glenn’s program in 5 minutes when it airs at 9pm in Hawaii. And I will watch for the full hour!

Thank you GLENN!

Jameson   March 10th, 2010 - 1:53 am

Hello! Glenn is not a very tough interviewer. I mean, I love the guy, but that’s not his forte. When he interviews someone, even when he disagrees with them, he tries to find common ground, and work with that and build from there. He’s a different type of interview. If you want to get drilled, go on Bill O’Reilly. If you want to try and get a sense for the soul of a person, Glenn’s your man.

Glenfan   March 10th, 2010 - 2:07 am

Glenn its not the first time you wasted our time. Actually I enjoyed listening to the Congressman, even though you kept warning him not to lie to you. You were lucky to get him on your show. You have had some sleepers before, and even some of the shows you ask us to call our neighbors to watch have been embarrassingly dull. You should have thanked Massa for coming on ,had to be one of your highest rated shows.

Randy   March 10th, 2010 - 2:07 am

That Liberal was spinning so fast he almost defied gravity. What a maroon!

June Wright   March 10th, 2010 - 2:12 am

I think Congress and the White House have much more on Massa than has come out. He made a deal with them if they would not reveal any more on him that he would go on 2 talk shows, Beck’s and King’s, and “sort of” recant, making them look innocent and himself just a basket case, which is what Pelosi is already doing when she said he’s a sick man. Plus, it helps reinforce the fact that if any more dare to vote no, the enforcers will step on their necks. I love Beck. He usually is interesting, giving us something fresh and new. He is not a nut, as the Chicago crowd would like us to believe, but just a passionate man! Hope he stays around forever!

bilbiz said on March 9th, 2010 @ 6:20 pm -

“Can’t answer anything, specifically? You bet another shoe is going to drop. Massa’s behavior was typical of a man trapped like a rat. Don’t feel bad about one wasted hour, Glenn, the whole discussion was quite revealing.”

I agree – he was acting like a trapped rat. That interview was difficult to watch…Massa was squirming and cracking jokes to make light the situation, and not well I might add. Unfunny people should never try to do comedy. Everyone sees it, including other unfunny people. Trying to make us all like him and forget about the boy-groping I think probably did occur. He’s hiding something and I think we all know what it is. Boygroper! Call it a hunch.

Adam   March 10th, 2010 - 2:42 am

Massa gave Beck plenty of stuff to go on. Just because he didn’t name names doesn’t mean he didn’t say anything. Beck couldn’t have thought that the guy was going to go out there and say that Pelosi offered him a mansion in the Hamptons for his vote. I like Beck and think he does a service for America, but for god sakes Beck, stop doing interviews…it’s not your strong point. What also got me confused was how Beck said he had wasted the people’s time…he shouldn’t have invited the guy on the show! God less you Glenn, but you should know your strengths, and interviewing is not one of them.

Steve Ross   March 10th, 2010 - 2:42 am

To the LOSER called “Telling it like it is” that wrote this.

Hey Glenn Beck Haters: it must suck to be you. While your precious MSM like Olbermann and Maddow’s ratings flush down the toilet, Beck’s ratings will keep getting higher and higher. If Beck is irritating you, then he’s doing something right.

You are the perfect example of a sheep!

You get pleasure out of a person who you don’t know, tv ratings!

Seriously, take that gun from Charleton Heston’s cold dead hand and point it at yourself and do the world a favor and pull the trigger. Save our species from any more breeding!

Think a little deeper folks… I have a feeling Massa’s family was sent a package of dead fish in the mail, (and we all know who would be sending things like that)and was fearing for his family’s safety. How else can you make any sense out of the midstream change and bilge-spewing in the last half hour of the show…

Thaddeus   March 10th, 2010 - 2:50 am

Did Massa remind anyone else of Sgt. Hatred from The Venture Brothers?

THANKS FOR NOTHING, MASSA   March 10th, 2010 - 3:26 am

Massa smells as FISHY as Mr. Deadfish/R.E. Too bad Glenn didn’t just NAIL HIM with some tough questions (like ‘WHY DID YOU RESIGN?–AND NO BULL!?’). He DID say “Cut the bullcrap!” a couple times… Glenn is too polite to his guests; he should’ve grilled him. O’Reilly would have.

Sorry for the bad day, Glenn; better luck tomorrow!

P.S. Saw Massa on Larry King (for just a few min., couldn’t hack it any longer than that) and Massa had the same REHEARSED LINES that he used on Beck’s show. Just another Dem-weasel, ripping off the system till he GETS CAUGHT, then he slinks away… THANKS FOR NOTHING, MASSA! –Have a feeling we haven’t heard the LAST of this unsavory little tale (tail)!

MYSTIFIED...   March 10th, 2010 - 4:02 am

Massa COULD HAVE “gotten even” with his oppressors by staying in there and voting NO on the Obaminable-healthcare-crap. WHY DIDN’T HE?

tommjy jefferson   March 10th, 2010 - 4:03 am

Yeah Glen, it was an absolute waste of time. If you had a brain, you would have known going in that this guy is hiding something and trying to ease out before it gets out….OR, he is a coward that cant stand up to his own party when he has a tough vote. Either way, he isn’t worth air time. But , you waste my time everytime I have to watch you. You tell your viewers, who are all smarter than you, what they already know…..but you never have a solution, and anytime offers one up that might actually work, you are quick to knock it down. I think you are the makings of Obama and provide him a place for his opponents to vent without doing Obama any serious harm. Of course, if you had a brain, you wouldn’t believe in the planet Golob and believe one day you will inhabit your own planet and populate it with you many heavenly wives and become god. But we will keep that a secret huh? Once you and Obama and Rush and Hannity finish bringing the country to its knees, try and stay real fat. My dogs like jerky.

Dean   March 10th, 2010 - 4:11 am

To steal a line from a very good movie…I think we just saw an hour of the “old Potomac two-step”.

Joy   March 10th, 2010 - 4:19 am

Glen tried and owes me no apology! Boring but not a complete waste of time.

I think most of you missed something that needs to be talked about a bit more. Massa said our Congressmen spend 5 hours a day fundraising. That’s not news — HOWEVER he said that each one is given a list of people to call and coached on how to be effective. He also said they were required to give the leadership a tally on the number of calls made each hour and how much money was raised. Silly me — I thought our representatives worked for us, not the leadership. Maybe we need to explore and expose this a bit more. Paying $175,000 a year for someone to become a fundraiser and a glorified clerk for the leadership is not acceptable. No wonder bills end up being written in some dark room by “faceless persons” and not ever read by our representatives. This would make a great special report.

Kagiso Edwards   March 10th, 2010 - 4:25 am

Not Glen Beck’s best interview .. Massa got threatened by the WH and toned down and reversed what he had said earlier .. and avoided all the real crap that went down ..

nacholulu   March 10th, 2010 - 5:20 am

Hmmm….kinda like when you had the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) mouthpiece on as the “right” side of a debate about Holocaust deniers or something similar back when you were on CNN???? That opened my eyes about you back then, but when you moved to Fox I decided to support your radio show and your Fox TV show…but now this….

Steve   March 10th, 2010 - 5:24 am

The Glenn-bashers seem to be out in force, because there’s a total misunderstanding on what was being apologized for… it was Massa’s inconsistency, flip-flopping, and making Glenn’s (and a lot of other people’s) B.S. meter go right off the scale.

He’s apologizing because he knew that no matter what he did, what he had here was a weasel. And on Larry King, Massa did exactly that. Weasel, weasel, weasel. Weasel. Massa’s story has changed almost every time he’s told it.

What I’ve learned from this episode is: Rahm Emanuel is a massive jerk. Eric Massa is a pervert and a liar. Finally, Obama’s “health care” plan is the worst idea in American history, and will devastate the country. (All separate issues from one another.)

Limbeck   March 10th, 2010 - 5:31 am

Wow! Poor libs. Beck gave Massa a chance to produce. He did. He produced pure BS. So what?

Beck knew Massa was a DeamonRAT squirrel, but, there was a chance to make news and he took a flyer.

The upside is that Massa shows just how disfunctional a rabble the Dumbs are.

To boot, the OTHER SHOE(joke), the permanent Cap Hill WASHINGTOON STAFFS were exposed by the Beck probing. Obviously, they are rigged by Leadership with pervs of all kinds ready to service their elected members’ every weakness and provide ANY TIME ‘testimony’ back to their sponsors about their various entrapment’s ’success’ ON DEMAND when legitimate forms of coercion fail to return a wayward Member to the Party line. Though ignored FOR THE MOMENT, how long can this ‘gold’ go undetected?

The bath houses in SW and brothels of NW are safe FOR ONE MORE DAY. But, will that last?

TommyJH54   March 10th, 2010 - 5:42 am

I get a bigger kick out of all you people who say you don’t watch Beck, but know as much about him (in a different perspective) as those of us that do. I am glad to see you all are so interested. There is hope for your kind!

Rahm Emanuel: assault and Battery and sexual assault…public shower room…shades of the Old GREEK Bath Days…flush both masa and rahm…both nuts. more demos psycho like Pelosian Make-Up Counter flying over head back n forth from GayLand CA to Gayland DC.

Michelle Malkin told Glenn on his show yesterday that she didn’t understand why she would give this much time tot he man. She outlined all the reasons why he wasn’t worth the attention and he was actually fighting with her. Turns out she was right.

StJakk   March 10th, 2010 - 6:19 am

Hey Glenn…just wanted to take a moment and once again thank you for STABBING DEBRA MEDINA IN THR BACK….you son of a bitch……..

Beck can’t interview. This was self serving on Beck’s and Massa’s parts. Badly prepared amatuer TV.

Glenn is just a morning zoo loser.

Don Taylor   March 10th, 2010 - 7:09 am

When your dealing with trash like Massa, this is what your going to get. Beck should have nailed his a– to the wall. But like most TV talk show host, everyone goes a little easy on these guys. I would “love” for just once, to see a host get down and dirty with these guys. Let me do a interview with some of these guys. When it was over with they would be in tears.

Jon Scovell   March 10th, 2010 - 7:11 am

Glenn doesn’t interview people well because he is a conversation man.

Sue   March 10th, 2010 - 7:12 am

Massa did not represent himself well, even though all he wanted to speak of was “himself”. He is a whiner, not a winner. Better off with him outside Congress. His intellect appears wanting along with his ability to express himself as a Congressman. I expect more from our representatives. He never named names, other than one. Nevertheless, he is an embarrassment as a representative and should be gone. As for his lovely wife, sorry lady, you are probably doing the best you can in a very difficult circumstance. One item I took away was that at least 50% of our reps time is spent seeking funding. No wonder not much gets done in Congress, they are spending much of their time trying to maintain their service. It is what we thought it was – representatives are spending less than 50% of their time on the country’s business. That alone is reason for concern.

Mrs Massie   March 10th, 2010 - 7:14 am

Glenn is never a waste of time. With that said, let me also add:

I don’t understand how left-leaning viewers can make comments against BECK. They don’t like Glenn, I understand that. They don’t share the same history (American) as Glenn. I get that. But then why do they watch Glenn? Seems kinda stupid to me. If you’re Jewish, why would you watch a Catholic Service on Sunday morning?

I’ve done some fact-checking on Glenn’s “history” and have yet to find them inaccurate. I can’t say that about any other host, commentator or broadcaster.

roxanne   March 10th, 2010 - 7:15 am

Massa is just another Progressive BSer. By the way, why isn’t that Progressive idiot, Sean Penn, charged as a traitor? He wants to sue people who slander Chavez. Don’t see his movies, take away his livlihood and see how long he spouts his nonsense.

ricardo maxwell   March 10th, 2010 - 7:26 am

Joy wrote one of the best posts ever. Do not let this die. EVERY American needs to know what our Congress has become and how they waste millions daily. Thank you Joy!
“Glen tried and owes me no apology! Boring but not a complete waste of time.

I think most of you missed something that needs to be talked about a bit more. Massa said our Congressmen spend 5 hours a day fundraising. That’s not news — HOWEVER he said that each one is given a list of people to call and coached on how to be effective. He also said they were required to give the leadership a tally on the number of calls made each hour and how much money was raised. Silly me — I thought our representatives worked for us, not the leadership. Maybe we need to explore and expose this a bit more. Paying $175,000 a year for someone to become a fundraiser and a glorified clerk for the leadership is not acceptable. No wonder bills end up being written in some dark room by “faceless persons” and not ever read by our representatives. This would make a great special report.”

mcnertny   March 10th, 2010 - 7:29 am

Beck is probably one of his man party boyfriends

daninchardon   March 10th, 2010 - 7:31 am

I give Beck credit for saying it with the guest still in the seat and the cameras still on. Most would quietly sign off and comment the following day.

DJ   March 10th, 2010 - 7:56 am

Cynthia,
I don’t believe I’ve seen you report anything on t.v. lately. Hmmmm…why is that. Beck and Levin are the most honest and up front reporters of our time. If you don’t listen and pay attention to the “FACTS”, then you’re the moron. Once again, someone who speaks before they think……..

Dave   March 10th, 2010 - 8:07 am

Glen Beck, unlike the Obama administration, has not wasted anyone’s time, nor has he ever done anything to hurt anyone.

But the point of this post is not to judge Beck, it is to ask why you idiots that claim Beck is such a waste and that you never watch his show, feel that your opinion is worth anything. You make value judgements with no basis what so ever.

Unlike you libtards, I have endured Larry King, Bill Mahr, and the idiots on MSnbc, so that I can make informed judgements about their lack of character and talent. Now that’s hours of my life that I will never get back…..Beck and Fox News outshine them all. If you don’t think so, look at the TV ratings.

I wonder if you liberal fools ever think before you talk?

Andreas Paulson   March 10th, 2010 - 8:07 am

Recent research has shown that not only are Liberals smarter than Conservatives but we are also more highly evolved – with a hightened ability to feel empathy. Evolution will eventually eliminate the retarded Conservative gene and then we will finally have sustainable peace and prosperity.

Dan StPeter   March 10th, 2010 - 8:08 am

Shortly after his allegation regarding Rham in the shower…Zeke Emmanuel called to offer Rep. Massa his cure for cancer…euthanasia…it’s not nice to fool with Chicago politicians…

Steve   March 10th, 2010 - 8:13 am

Massa needs to watch more of Glen Beck. He obviously needs the education. He was being a typical liberal who could not answer the questions being asked. There is nothing more frustrating than that. It is a waste of time to interview any liberal.

SubjectofUSSA   March 10th, 2010 - 8:14 am

LOL at Alex Jones providing more information than Beck… if you want to listen to that guy and Charlie Sheen, you go right ahead man

Hal   March 10th, 2010 - 8:27 am

Beck is honest almost to a fault–most hosts would have quietly had his staff never schedule the guy again and been done with it–and I can’t say I’ve ever caught him in any sort of major factual error (yes that includes the History lessons…some of you slapping Beck around for supposed misquotes while pounding your chests about how accurate Hollywood fables like “JFK” are should go back to 3rd grade).

His self-deprecating style is part of his charm. If his critics want to see that as a sign of weakness, I suggest you check his ratings–they are better than any Liberal commentator you want to put out there.

Frank   March 10th, 2010 - 8:32 am

Beck tried so hard to get dirt from this senator… All Beck wants is to spew hate and fight, that’s the only way he can get ratings and money for himself, he didn’t get it and what was left was nothing. That’s all Beck can do for a living… is hate, cause hate and get paid for it.

Guy   March 10th, 2010 - 8:37 am

Glenn Beck is sorry. yeah, he is one sorry hate filled idiot. How did this moron get a show, even on Faux News, come on America, you can’t be THAT stupid!???

spasm   March 10th, 2010 - 8:49 am

Glen Beck is a fake. Your all being manipulated with everything he says. Think for yourselves and stop listening to this phony!

shearwater   March 10th, 2010 - 8:50 am

Rahm Emmanuel is a dictator’s facilitator. Congressmen are supposed to vote for what their constituency wants. Not for what is dictated to them. When I write my democrat senators, they are condescending in how they respond. They respond with their talking points but not at the level of constitutional law and principles of freedom which makes the United States unique in the world. They have a letter that they write back which in effect says, “Please don’t confuse me with the facts. My mind is already made up.” I have done this with Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin. They are beholden to the unions and the secular progressives in Michigan. Rahm’s behavior should be censured by congress and the senate for lewd and lascivious behavior which should be a violation of ethics for all branches of government.

LarryCroft   March 10th, 2010 - 8:53 am

Cynthia:
Allow me to criticize you too. You are wrong. Beck rarely makes a mistake on the air. When he does, it is just that – a mistake. It isn’t an act of deceit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I like Mr. Beck’s reporting enough for both of us.

anonymous1   March 10th, 2010 - 8:57 am

Glen is the most disingenuous of all the personalities out there. And seriously DJ – Glen Beck a reporter? He is not a reporter. What passes
for journalism nowadays is sad.
In my mind he is intellectually dishonest.
He couldn’t hear the sarcasm because he thought the interview was blown up by an apology to Emmanuel. He was so afraid his conservative audience would hear an apology to a democrat he totally missed what Massa said.

Massa resigns on his own then claims to be “forced out”. Playing the role of victim when caught doing bad things is a sign of psychopathy.

Andreas Paulson:
You might be right about the research of liberals and conservatives. But, as an extreme conservative, I hope the research that I haven’t yet seen is wrong. Will you be kind enough to direct me to the research?

gamechanger   March 10th, 2010 - 9:13 am

Beck is big talk with no results, and no discernment… he’s really about witch hunts rather than solutions.

beck bites   March 10th, 2010 - 9:16 am

Beck was completely out of his league here. He was so unprepared at every turn. At one point Massa stated Campaign Finance Reform was the main problem in DC and Beck just about sat there and drooled with nothing to say.

Beck had preconceived ideas of what the real issue was and at every turn Beck was shot down. This resulted in Beck failing to have anything to say. Beck’s saying he had wasted America’s should apply to every hour of every show he has produced. He did not try to get at the truth in this interview and he never does. He applies preexisting conclusions and takes facts to shape them to his end beliefs in everything he says. To do this is not a scientific method of discovery therefore the end result does not reflect what was truly discovered along the way

Thanks for airing this interview Glenn. It should be seen by all showing how non-linear and illogical your thought process is in trying to find facts and coming to a conclusion. Fox Is Not News and Glenn proved it in spades!

bush-- 43   March 10th, 2010 - 10:03 am

What a thrill to see two neanderthals dumber than me. I didn’t think it was possible. I was clearing bush-ops-I mean brush and Laura called me in to see two idiots with a lower IQ than mine–captivating show. Thank you for not listening to that paragon of shrill, malkin. What a delightful hour you gave me Glen-do it again some time. P S should have called Dickie and Carl.

Glenn Beck is a shill… He’s one of the best actors in television, and is trying to get honest folks to believe his garbage.
Don’t fall for him.. He lies through his teeth for his 26 million dollar job.

2010SpaceOdyssey   March 10th, 2010 - 11:37 am

The majority voted for the American too and he WON!!–Thank whoever!! Oh, your talking about McCain, whose legitimacy of being born on American soil is in question. Right on-you continue on your quest to uncover the truth and keep us informed. The voters in AZ are holding their breath.

John   March 10th, 2010 - 12:39 pm

I give Beck credit for calling a spade a spade. When the Democrats get on someone like McClellan they treat him like he is a serious credible source regardless of how inane and lacking in substance his interviews are. I think it’s dumb that he gave this clown an hour, but I don’t see why it’s embarrassing. Beck did the same with Blagojevich and it was equally as much of a mind numbing waste of time. Don’t remember anyone criticizing those Blagojevich interviews.

Gary   March 10th, 2010 - 3:38 pm

About time somebody blindsided Glenn after what he did to Debra Medina. Hows it feel Glenn? Your Buffoon buddy Bill O’Reily had enough sense to not interview him.

HR   March 10th, 2010 - 9:32 pm

Gee what comes next for this guy? Nervous breakdown or suicide? I think breakdown, it’s much easier, not quite as painful and he can get away with it.

Joe   March 10th, 2010 - 10:32 pm

Beck rocks. Check his numbers. The only show beating his is O’Reilly’s

allwornout   March 11th, 2010 - 12:04 am

Massa read from the same script on Larry King, even Larry was smirking, just couldn’t get anything but jibersh. Massa is scared, real scared.

A TOTAL CREEP (AND COWARD TO BOOT)   March 11th, 2010 - 3:30 am

What did Massa think he could accomplish (or salvage) by those two creepy, pathetic interviews in which all he did was make an even bigger FOOL of himself??

AMERICA WILL DETEST THIS JERK FOR ALL TIME FOR NOT STAYING ON THE JOB AND VOTING *NO* ON THE DAMNED HEALTH-CARE TAKEOVER!

A CREEP & A COWARD.
P.S. YOUR “JOKE” ABOUT DEADFISH/R.E. WAS TOTALLY UNFUNNY.
