In 2009, Beck launched the 9/12 project, a project aimed at recovering America's Christian founding values, closely allied with the [[Tea Party Movement]].  On September 12, 2009 (9/12), a massive Taxpayer March on Washington was accomplished, with hundreds of thousands of attendees, and was roundly censored by the [[liberal media]].

Glenn Beck is a conservative talk-radio host and television anchor employed by Fox News.[1] His radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, is syndicated by over 230 radio stations across the United States. His television show, Glenn Beck, appeared daily on CNN Headline News, before he switched to FOX, during the 6:00 p.m. hour (EDT).

Beck is the author of four books, including The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland and three #1 New York Times Bestsellers, An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems, The Christmas Sweater, Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, and most recently Arguing With Idiots.

Beck is a Mormon, having converted after recovering from alcoholism.[2]

Earnings and Book Deal

BusinessInsider.com estimated Beck will make $18 million in 2009[3] Now with the signing of his new book deal with Simon & Schuster, the FOX whiz-kid will be given a larger share in the profits of each book, as well as increased creative control.[4]

Liberal attempts to silence Beck

Liberal activism groups attempted to silence Beck by pushing his advertisers to abandon his program, after he courageously pointed out his somewhat bizarre ideas about Barack Obama, a man who is half white and who was raised almost exclusively by white people, being racist against white people and hating white culture. This prompted "RedState" to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the advertisers on his show who chose to boycott it after an odd campaign by hippies who don't even watch Fox News and therefore really shouldn't try to call the shots on what it does or does not air.

The publicity over the attempts on Beck's advertising money achieved a result that the liberals didn't really notice or care about: Beck was featured on the cover of Time magazine. In a final goofy-ass gesture, he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the reader. Beck, however, was less than pleased with the Time cover: He stated that Time ought to have featured the large crowds attending the September 12 March on Washington and not him on its cover. One must ask why, then, Beck chose to pose for a picture to be used on the cover of Time. At least Obama didn't apply for that award he didn't deserve, okay guys? But maybe Time took the picture without telling him it would go on the cover. Whatever. Sticking your tongue out is kind of lame. Beck should hang out with THE NUGE and learn some real gestures.

Known favorite associations

Beck frequently has Judge Andrew Napolitano appear as a guest on his program. Judge Napolitano has even hosted the Glenn Beck show himself when Mr. Beck was on assignment. The fact that he shares a last name with known Defeatocrat Janet Napolitano is considered highly suspect.
