1. I should leave Glenn alone.
But if he is carrying the 8 pennies in his pocket, is he saying the donations go to his pocket?

Heh, not that is bad maybe it is to supplement his income, but is that what he is saying?

2. Their last 8 pennies? Hmm... What about the postage they bought AFTERWARD to send them!

That would have been 44 cents AFTER those "last eight pennies"! Would it not?

Leave it to Beck to continually make stupidity and ludicrousness into theater...

3. At 2:22 +/- did he lose control?
It sounds like he passed gas.

7. He is a televanglist....
Using the same tricks that they use to separate the poor people from their money.
I have watched enough of them to know that cadence and emotional constructions to recognize when I see it.
He is tapping in to it.

27. You are SPOT on!
The equivocation of the amount that someone can send in to the host is a play right out of the Televangelist playbook. Fleecing the flock and advancing a political agenda. I feel nothing but loathing for this individual.

31. No, he isn't, he is Pastor Shephard
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 01:36 AM by TheEuclideanOne
Watch "Obama is the AntiChrist" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbbUUR5z-as&playnext=1&videos=VV9T0HXeeD0 This guy is so spot and this clip is one of my favorites on YouTube. Just an FYI, this is comedy. Pastor Shephard of Prayer Hour really nails the style of these Televangelist types.

All I can say is that after this bit on "This guy gave his last 8 cents", if anybody can't see this guy for what he is, there is no hope for them.

32. Good thing I usually read the comments before I post-
I was about to say he should become a televangelist. What a phony piece of shit Glenn Beck is. The person could only come up with 8 pennies... And yet he had 44 cents for a stamp! I think I smell a prank that Glennie has fallen for. Either that or the "8 penny man" is a complete fabrication.

8. BUT ...
The story broke a week or so ago that none of the money goes to the Warrior Foundation until AFTER Beck's expenses and the expenses of the event is paid for first.
It's a rip-off!

10. his little gimmick would have played better if it has been someone's gold tooth


that way he could promote 'GOLD' and still have his little cryfest.

'OMG - Someone sent their GOLD TOOF to my show - I'm going to keep this in my pocket until it eats a hole into my very soul - or at least until it gets lost in the wash when the maid forgets to check the pockets'

11. What a liar!
Anyone from USPS reading this? I seriously doubt that an envelope containing a baggie and 7 or 8 pennies would make it through the system.

13. It can make it
Our machines will process envelopes with change in them however I would recommend that you not do it. I vacuum loose change out of the machines daily.

14. Anyone ever watch the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon
Well, I used to script it for our local area, and I gotta tell you he's not even good. I've seen much better from our local "Love Network" talent.

16. Why Should Glenn Beck Have to Display Intelligence?
He gets paid more for being a babbling idiot.
He's lost enough of his ratings as it is, come on!

21. On Thursday the 26th
TCM is showing "A Face in the Crowd". Though based on Arthur Godfrey, many today think it is the blueprint for Glen Beck. If you ever wondered about Keith Olbermann's reference to "Lonesome Rhodes Beck"...this is the move he is referencing. Thursday August 26 at 8 PM on TCM.

26. 7 pennies and a stamp is all that (made up) person
had left after paying the fkg cable bill (to watch that thief)...

Of course that despicable clown made it all up.

It's so obvious.

29. and he's just going to keep this supposed person's change as a conversation piece
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 01:12 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
rather then putting into the cause he's pushing. So, basically, they wasted their last 8 cents.

but then again, if you think about it, the cause is, in reality, filling Glenn Beck's pockets - so maybe the fake person's money did reach its intended destination.

28. This guy is the Benny Hinn of cable news
Edited on Wed Aug-18-10 01:09 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
a grifter tricking old, stupid people into sending him their life savings.

I wonder if the 'religious experience' this failed rock DJ claims will happen at his upcoming rally will involve faith healing?

Even if I agreed with this guy, I'd still hate him. I've never seen anyone talk down to his audience in such a hammy and contrived manner. I guess wingnuts like being addressed like they're 8-year-olds.
