Glenn Beck has a message for long-term jobless workers: You’re a bunch of un-American losers.


Haven’t read this but the headline is off to a good start…

Beck went on a tirade this week against workers who have been unable to find a job for 99 weeks or more and come to the end of unemployment benefits. Showing a video of a rally by jobless workers in New York, Beck frothed:

I’d bet you’d be ashamed to call them Americans….Go out and get a job. You may not love the job. Work at McDonald’s. Work two jobs….Two years is plenty of time to have lived off your neighbors’ wallet.

He went on to accuse jobless workers of being anti-capitalist and socialist. It’s hard to imagine that 21 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism that talking heads like Beck still think there’s a red threat lurking. Worse, they making millions and billions of dollars doing so.

Unlike the 1.4 million Americans who have been out of work more than 99 weeks, and can’t feed their families.

2. I wonder if he realizes just how may people have done

exactly that. There are only so many Mcdonalds jobs to go around.

3. Would someone please put beck to work at McDonalds?

or better yet, hard labour somewhere?

5. That chickenshit would cry if he met a 99er, after they decked him.

6. Message to Glenn: One of my friends has a boyfriend who has been out of

work for a long time (I believe he worked construction). He has applied for a job at McDonald's. They won't hire him.

Another message to Beck: You're a douchebag.

9. one day he will encounter a 99er on the street

maybe he can have a one of his mentally ill melt-downs against people like him who spew diatribes on air but are too chickenshit to then venture into the street with the real people he rants against
