Off the top of my head?The left's stupid labeling again.
He doesn't care. His watcher's don't care.
Never mind that he has been more right than wrong about his theories.
The left are having a melt down because his station is doing so well, compared to any lefty channel.
The left do not want more New Yorkers exposed to common sense conservative ideology, no, no ,no we can't have any diversity.
He has been right more than wrong? Really. You listen to that nut and get your 'info' from him and leave the rest of us alone.
Another empty-headed left wing nutter. I don't suppose you can do what the others can't and actually prove that Glenn has been anything but correct most of the time?
Yeah probably not.

He's been dead wrong on every single one.
Try Factcheck and Snopes.
Try reality.
Thanks for reminding me about the OP.
It's histerically ironic that the leftwing nutters here post crap from Salon.com, but say that Glenn Beck is wacko.
That's the very definition of hackery.

#1: Van Jones Fictional Conviction
In his attacks on Van Jones, Beck claimed that Jones was a convicted felon. In the days after Beck's claim, numerous bloggers (including me) pointed out that Jones was arrested, but never convicted of any felony. Four months later, Beck admitted he was wrong and that Van Jones had never been convicted of a felony.
#2: Beck Clams FEMA Prison Camps Exist and Then Changes His Mind
The conspiracy theory of FEMA prison camps was something of an internet legend, which Beck bought in to for a short time. While being hosted on Fox & Friends, Beck announced that he had tried to debunk the FEMA camp myth, only to discover that they really do exist. He promised later on his show to cover the story. Later that day, Beck would begin to backtrack, saying he needed to do more research.
#3: The Hyperinflation Myth
In his promotion of gold, Beck has warned his audience of a coming hyperinflation problem. Under hyperinflation, prices rise uncontrollably and currency essentially becomes worthless. Hyperinflation rates reach 100% or more. Normal inflation rates are anywhere from 3% to 5%. As of June, the United States inflation rate was 1.10%. Many economists are actually concerned about deflation in the future.
#4: The Gold Spike that Never Happened
Beck has continually promoted buying gold on the promise that the price per ounce would rise in the future. After gold exceeded $1,000 per ounce, Beck was still encouraging gold buying (even with the significant markups of his sponsor Goldline). In December 2009, Beck suggested that gold could exceed $1,500 per ounce, or even $2,000 per ounce in the near future. Gold is currently trading at around $1,200 per ounce and has stayed at about that level for the past year. As a result, Goldline customers who listened to Beck and purchased coins with a 30% markup have still not recouped their losses.
#5: Beck's Evolving Support for the Death Panel Myth
In the middle of the health care debate, Glenn Beck first agreed with Sarah Palin that her son Trig would be forced to go before a literal "death panel." Later, Beck would amend himself to say that the death panel was not literal, but would exist in the form of some board which would decide who lives and dies. The death panel myth (both literal and figurative) has now been thoroughly debunked by both partisan and non-partisan organizations. Months after passage of health care reform, not one credible report of any death panel has emerged. The most thorough debunking of the myth can be seen in a video here.
#6: Cars.gov Never Took Over Anyone's Computer
Beck warned his entire audience (not just car dealers) that their computers were in danger of being taken over by the Cash for Clunkers website. Under Beck's theory, the government would be able to control your computer if you went to the Cars.gov website. To date, no reports have emerged of any person's computer (dealer or non-dealer) being taken over through the website.
#7: Beck's Revisionist History of 20th Century Presidents
Beck has claimed that Hoover was a bad President because he tried to spend his way out of the Great Depression. In fact, Hoover's first move was to adopt conservative principles by slashing the budget and restricting the money supply. These moves worsened the Great Depression. Beck also claims the policies of Coolidge led to the economic boom of the 1920's and that Hoover caused the Great Depression. Many economists believe the deregulation implemented by Coolidge led to the financial collapse which started the Great Depression.
#8: Beck Claims DDT is Harmless
In his promotion of DDT, Beck claimed that there was "no" evidence showing DDT was harmful to humans. In fact, I provided at least four studies showing harmful side effects to humans, which include infant mortality, breast cancer, and central nervous system problems.
#9: The Civilian National Security Force
Last year Beck warned of a civilian national security force which was being formed to take over the country. Presumably this force would be used by progressives after some crisis to seize power. If the force does exist, they must be very effective in hiding like ninjas because no reports have emerged of any kind of civilian national security force organized by the government.
#10: Beck Promotes His Eric Massa Interview, Then Backtracks
When former Representative Eric Massa said he had some dirt on the Obama administration, Beck was more than happy to host him on his show. Beck promised his audience stunning revelations from the Massa interview. Instead, the interview turned into a strange spectacle in which Massa often disagreed with Beck and talked about a "ticklefest" incident while in office. In the end, even Beck admitted that the interview was a waste of time.
#11: Beck Somehow Forgets Fox News Promotion of the Shirley Sherrod Story
Finally, just last week Beck argued that Fox News did not report on the Shirley Sherrod story until after she was forced to resign. In fact, the story ran on the Fox News website well before her resignation. The stories run by Fox News followed the narrative of Andrew Breitbart, who accused Sherrod of racially discriminating against white farmers.
If this list does not satisfy Beck, then Politifact also has a very long list of factually incorrect statements made by Beck on his show. Included are false claims by Beck that:
- Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House.
- The health care bill offers insurance for dogs.
- Less than 10% of President Obama's cabinet has private enterprise experience.
- 45% of doctors say they will quit if health care passes.
- That the director of White House Science and Technology policy has "proposed forced abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to contr,ol the population."
In the video below Beck claims that the financial reform bill means the "end of the Republic" and that government can now control every dollar we spend. Beck never cites any part of the bill to support his claim, and thousands of dollars are still being donated to Republican candidates as this article is being published. If Democrats are controlling how every dollar is being spent, they are doing a very lousy job.
That, as stated before, is a very abbreviated list of the times Beck has been wrong. It is also important to note that these are not minor errors. Imagine, for instance, if someone in the Obama administration wrongly accused Beck of being a convicted felon. Beck's other errors involve major predictions regarding the economy, health care, and science. So there. We have now met Beck's challenge to "name" the times when he was wrong. Now we will see if Beck follows through on his promise to "lead his show" with any corrections.
Beck is a fucking idiot and so are his "fans".

Glenn Beck Quotes - Top 10 Craziest Glenn Beck Quotes of All Time
Are you saying the material posted above by zona is untrue, that Beck did not say or do those things.
The left will never get him.
They can't take cold hard facts and things being said bluntly. They don't want to deal with reality. The left want sugar coated words.
They don't get it that they are his opinions.
Yes we who watch him know that some of his conspiracy theories (as the left misidentify)always need to be taken with a grain of salt. We who listen to him make our own judgments and dismiss some of the things he says, but more times than not he has been dead on right.
He is making people think, making them wake up and look into things themselves, like actually reading the House and Senate bills. Reading about our past history.
The left hate him because he is getting people to make their own decisions, to become responsible, to educate themselves.
We who watch him is not about his conspiracy theories as the left call it.
It's about becoming involved and educating ourselves and not going back into being the silent majority again.
He is not doing conspiracy theories. He is connecting the dots and putting them together and sometimes it does not pan out and more often than not it is right.
PredFan is as weird and conspiracy-driven as Glenn.
I am right of center and you are so far right, kiddo, that you are around the globe staring joeb in the face.
Off the top of my head?Another empty-headed left wing nutter. I don't suppose you can do what the others can't and actually prove that Glenn has been anything but correct most of the time?
Yeah probably not.

Thank you, someone who actually has something.
First things first: To be clear, no one is saying Beck is NEVER wrong. Just that he's right more than wrong. here, beck admitted he was wrong. it happens.
don't know what the results of the research was but I'll give you that he was wrong about that. Since I have no proof otherwise.
Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it isn't going to. beck doesn't mean that hyperinflation is happening NOW so he is as of yet, not wrong about this.
Again, it hasn't happened YET. he is not yet wrong on this.
Not a myth. it will happen. Beck is right. he isn't stating that there are deat panels right now, he's saying there will be. He is correct.
Key words: "In dangerof" he did not say "Are being taken over". i don't know the details but it appears that he is right.
I don't know the details of this, and despitethe fact that liberals are fond of taking Beck out of context, I'll still give you this one.
You provided? i thought this was "off the top of YOUR head. What did you do cut and paste the whole thing? Anyway, as the previous one, I'll give you this one despite my suspicions.
Major Strawman argument. You don't get this one.
And just exactly how is Beck wong on that. Obviously Massa failed to produce what he proposed to Beck. Beck recognised that and stated as such.

Finally, just last week Beck argued that Fox News did not report on the Shirley Sherrod story until after she was forced to resign. In fact, the story ran on the Fox News website well before her resignation.

You can have that one. If what you say is true, then he was wrong.

Now we will see if Beck follows through on his promise to "lead his show" with any corrections.
Congratulations. you have proven that something no one here is saying, is wrong. No one claims Beck is ALWAYS right. You realize that beck does his show 5 times a week and that he makes statements all day long.
Also, you are a liar yourself. giving us the claim that these ar "off the top of your head" while they are quite obviously someone else's writing and you cut and pasted it.
