Beck: "Don't Do A Google Search" Because "Google Is Pretty Deeply In Bed With The Government"

I am kinda suspecting that he was trying to make a deal with Google to promote Him more in their searches and they refused.

I thought the commies and fascists working together was last week. I think next week will be about unions being taken over by Islam, thats just the vibe im getting but I dont always get it right with him.

Next week on Fox News: DEMOCRATS. Are they Communists...or Satanists? WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE.

oooooo i think some one should send a resume to fox.
sounds like you just came up with beck's next month worth of egypt coverage.islam mixed with egyptian solidarity over thier economic strife.you are a fox staff writer and dont even know it.:)

ya see.you crazy lefty.you just dont get it.
they can be both.communist devil worshipers.why limit yourself when you can scare two demographics with one story.double the fear mongering for half the price.

Just to be clear, he is a douche. Pay him no mind.

i believe the sky to be blue, but considering beck's track record if he stated it was blue, it would create reason to doubt it in my mind.as so little that he claims has any basis in reality.

Google keeps track of all of our searches. They are gathering info on all of us.

They gave information on surfing to the Chinese who used it to imprison dissidents. They sucked up people's personal information in Europe when gathering info for street view. They provide info from data mining to uncle sam without warrants.

it would be easy actualy.all search terms would bring you to the same page.being as beck is a one trick pony

LOL Is that true?
I heard the usual hairy palms, going blind etc. But never heard the insanity theory.

Excellent, LMFAO

There needs to be an option to make that the title when you go there.

Nice, if you can send it to Beck, it just might send him over the edge, at long last.

Great Idea... Let's feed this paranoia.

I only watch (or rather listen to it) because it is on the televisions at work and the speaker is mounted above my office door. I have learned the art of transcendental meditation to take me far far away from it.

You realize they can't tell who is watching, right? Ratings are provided by the Neilson company, who sends out paper logs for people to fill out and mail back. I was selected once and was amazed at how low tech the process was considering how much it effects such a big industry.

Good story, I know.

They make you listen to that at work??? Isn't that wrong?? My brother listens to he and Rush in the car. I keep wondering how someone that is kind, helpful to others, wonderful father and grandfather and brother, etc...how is he believing these guys? Of us 'kids' and parents, he is the only repub. Our dad was union. Now there are quite a few repubs. My nephew (another good guy) does really believe Glenn has inside info. He bought a remote place and has been filling it with food and guns. He is not a nut exactly. My sis and I haven't been able to figure this out.

not absolutely true satellite and cable keep track of what is being watched also I never complain to a station or network I bitch to their sponsors

He not only needs to be watched, he need to be placed in 4 point restraint in a rubber room!

Very good, and VARY funny, and I don't say that very often.

The "google aspect" is just a symptom of Beck's paranoia.

It's not "beck bashing"- Beck does that all by himself.

The google aspect is real in that they do some fairly intrusive and cruddy stuff. If someone on a different network brought it up would the thread deal with google or the TV personality that brought it up?

Google is everything to everyone, intrusive, informative, inconclusive, useless, academic, perplexing, unfriendly, gregarious, detailed, generic, interpretive and a pain in the ass.... use it as you see fit, or not at all.... and there's always Bing! or you could go to the library and do your own research at your pace :) life is good

I agree life is good. Google has done some reprehensible stuff in China and with street view and data mining. They got caught. I still use them even though I know some of the bad stuff. Bing rocks, but Microsoft blows. So it's the same deal. But life is good!

Are you SERIOUS samthesixth? ? Lemme guess.....you like and listen to Glenn Beck...because Beck is your friend, right?

So does every other social networking organization. BUT...we as a nation have bought into it and allowed it because the big corporations are the ones who want information on us. Instead of a " govmit conspiraaaacy"...it's capitalism at it's ethical best.

What?

Ethical? That's why they do data mining, sell out freedom advocates trying to use social networks, and provide information without a warrant.

Agree. In a weird twisted way, talking about Beck gives him some type of bizarre credibility.

Indeed....and in your statement replace "Beck" with "Palin" and "Limbaugh" and any of the other
slow minded lousy performers that depend on Murdoch to fill their bank accounts.

Murdoch' corals his preachers of gloom and doom in his fox den .............*¿*

I agree. He is great fun though - if he and the rest of the foxers weren't so serious. Unfortunately, I guess we are taking him serious, too.

You are right ozoneocean...couldn't have said it better!

Google do that for targeted advertising and that's why it's the best search engine- They make money from what they do and from being the top so they have an interest in doing the best job they can to stay at the top.

Besides, there is no need to go watery a the knees about Google search records. They're open about it and you can check YOUR OWN search history if your searching while signed in and even turn it off so it doesn't record. Mine hasn't recorded since 2007:

I think what Beck was implying was not that the government was watching you, but that it was "controlling information" and thus you couldn't "trust" anything that didn't come from him.

who or what are you talking about, please?

But they're being sued for using Google results.
Google performed a sting on BING, and now BING is being sued.
So, in a way, Bing = Google. Same results.

shhhh!...... don't say that too loud.....lol

Yes...he told the truth, but also discredited it because it came from him. No one will listen, because crazy, Glenn Beck said it. Glenn Beck is a sick man, who has basically admitted he is an agent of misinformation, by referring to himself as a "rodeo clown". We are all the bull, the elitists the rodeo cowboy, and Beck is the rodeo clown. Distracting us from the guy we really have a problem with...the cowboy.

Unfortunately there are way too many who listen to him and believe every word he spews. He is potentially a dangerous man.

No, we libs keep saying the corporations own the right. Ya, sometimes I wonder who's side the government is on, but with the right, there is no question at all. The right is owned by selfish, greedy, and arrogant parts of corporations with fox as their bullhorn. Right, got no time for jobs and other of their big ideas they haven't quite formulated yet, but those no government intrusion folks sure weren't embarrassed to hit abortion and health care first thing. What hypocrites. No money for schools but there is money to be found to monitor every pregnancy in the country.

What still makes me sad and sorry is that the right has talked so many people into believing that the right's right even when what the repubs say is not in their best interest. And now Glenn has really found a way to strike fear into the hearts of the ignorant. Now you tell me, oh patriot, how the peaceful demonstrations in Egypt are a Google, Muslim Brotherhood, communist, Nazi, socialist, extremist, terrorist, gay, (probably catholic, too, since I've heard some of those who profess to know - that the pope is the real antichrist) plot. Oh, and don't forget that when President Obama is done with all this - he wants to give it all back to the Indians.

And would you people on the right get off your "I'm so patriotic" pedestal. I am on the progressive left, and I AM A PATRIOT, TOO. The patriotic left is defending this nation, too.

Of course you'd believe this.

Wouldn't surprise me really. My email is on yahoo and they lean so far to the right they are horizontal. Basically it is a love-in with Sarah Palin on Yahoo.

Hi Funky...sure is. :)

ROTFLMAO at that picture. It reminds me of a baby who accidentally messed himself and thinks he is in trouble. I tell ya, I hope the GOP has stock in Kleenex cause between Beck and Boehner (The Boo Hoo Duo) they need to keep it on hand. I've never seen anything like it. Let Pelosi or Obama or Hillary or Keith start blubbering like that and it would be a "man-up" festival in the Palin camp. Seriously, not that I had respect for them at all before, but what little (and I'm talking microscopic) I might have had went out the window with the waterworks. They only do that to gain sympathy from their base and attempt to deflect attention to the fact that they are saying something stupid and untrue. It's "Awww he is crying from so much emotion, it must be true to affect him like that". Good Lord. Pass the Tylenol.

Master manipulator of the masses. He is dangerous because to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin .... the masses are asses.

(The Boo Hoo Duo)

My nickname for boehner is 'bawlin boehner' but that works just as well for beck -- bawlin becknboehner :-)

I think Beck was given the bash google idea from Murdoch.
I recently read that Murdoch didn't like Google using their net crawling bots to grab any News Corp news or links. Murdoch says he doesn't think those news readers are going to become regular readers...just hit and run folks.
I think he prefers to keep them captive so he can brainwash them.

He's also trying to change news from being free to a pay-for-model.
I believe it was his Wall Street Journal that he has created an Ipad Ap for..... which will soon become subscription only.

And here I thought the bawlin beckster was bad-mouthin' google because he has stock in bing and wants to enrich himself by having all his lemmings only use bing for searches :-).

Right. When he said "It used to be called propaganda, what do we call it now?" The first thing I thought was "Fox News".

Hi, Funky. Ya really give him two years? I have heard his rates are dropping, although if he really starts to crash on tv, the ratings will soar. He will probably be on radio until he's on his death bed. Maybe his next gig will be acting. He is real soap opera material.

Beck pays taxes to the federal, state and local governments and files tax returns with those governments. He is able to engage in mindless rants on television because his right to do so is protected by the federal and state governments via their constitutions. Beck presumably has a social security card issued by the federal government and a driver's license issued by his state government. He will soon be collecting on his unemployment insurance, a government-run program. Since he is so deeply in bed with government...
