TV / Radio Host shares testimony and conversion.
Glenn Beck & Mormons - Page 16
I didn't say it. He did and he is right (about his mouth) however, I wish he could keep his membership a secret or hidden once in a while!
QUOTE Radio and TV host Glenn Beck said Sunday he doesn't want to retract his controversial charge last year that President Obama is racist, but does want to amend it since reading more about "liberation theology."
"I have a big fat mouth sometimes and I say things, and that's not the way people should behave," Beck said, adding that he regrets saying a year ago that Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people" because it's not accurate.
"I didn't understand, really, his theology," Beck a Fox News host, told "Fox News Sunday." "I think that it is much more of a theological question that he is a guy who understands the world through liberation theology, which is oppressor and victim."
Beck described liberation theology, which teaches that salvation for the individual is dependent on salvation for the collective through economic and social justice, as the message that was preached by Obama's ex-pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
"I'm not judging (Obama) for that," he said. "I'm not demonizing it. I disagree with it."
Beck, who is Mormon, said most Christians don't believe in liberation theology.
"That is a direct opposite of what the gospel is talking about," said Beck."It's Marxism disguised as religion."

I am starting to think he keeps saying all these controversial stuff just to be in the headlines...If so, it's quite pathetic.

I don't really care for Glenn Beck. I think he's annoying and his radio "talk show" is all about hitting people with the latest rumors - and rumors of rumors. It's all inflammatory rhetoric and sophomoric jokes. The fact that he now has a "talk show" on TV is one more reason I'm glad we no longer have cable in our home.

I know I might get some flack for this one, but I'm going to post them anyway. 
You decide if these apply to Glenn Beck or not.
QUOTE "Whenever a preacher is popular in the midst of a wicked generation, or a man is popular who professes to be a minister of truth, you may set it down as a certain fact that that man does not preach the truth as it exists in Christ. There is no disputing this, if this book (the Bible) be true; if there is any reliance to be placed in the word of God. As true as there is a God, and as true as there is a devil, the man that preaches the truth to a wicked generation will bring about the hatred of which I have read in your hearing. This is just as true as that God lives and that there is evil to combat, or that Satan has power over the hearts of the children of men."

QUOTE Popular Teachers and the Potential of Priestcraft
Another illustration of a strength that can become our downfall concerns charismatic teachers. With a trained mind and a skillful manner of presentation, teachers can become unusually popular and effective in teaching. But Satan will try to use that strength to corrupt teachers by encouraging them to gather a following of disciples. A Church teacher, Church Educational System instructor, or Latter-day Saint university professor who gathers such a following and does this "for the sake of riches and honor" (Alma 1:16) is guilty of priestcraft. "Priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion" (2 Ne. 26:29).
Teachers who are most popular, and therefore most effective, have a special susceptibility to priestcraft. If they are not careful, their strength can become their spiritual downfall. They can become like Almon Babbitt, with whom the Lord was not pleased, because "he aspireth to establish his counsel instead of the counsel which I have ordained, even that of the Presidency of my Church; and he setteth up a golden calf for the worship of my people" (D&C 124:84).

In my opinion, that doesn't apply to Beck. He's not preaching religion or speaking on behalf of the church - he's generally political. And yes, he is doing what he's doing to "get gain." Everyone has to make a living somehow.

That does not apply to Beck for two reasons. Reason 1: Half of the time he doesn't tell the truth and Reason 2: He is practicing priestcraft because he gets alot of gain from what he does. He also tries to intertwine religion with politics which most of the time never mesh together very well.

I thought you would provide quotes and sources, all you have done is shared more of your opinion. Using the word "Nazi" seems to be a common descriptive ploy among political celebrities. Having answers to complicated political systems is not priestcraft. I am by no means defending Glenn Beck but if you are going to come out with specific accusations then you will need to prove it specifically and not generalize afterward.
