Glenn Beck: 'Divisive Rhetoric Will Be ‘The Death Of The Country’

[CatWoman]

:rofl:

Pot, meet kettle

:rofl:

Yesterday on NPR, right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck criticized fellow conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for his strident rhetoric, saying it will be “the death of our industry, and the death of our country.”

Beck may be right about Limbaugh, but his own rhetoric is equally divisive and destructive. Some lowlights:

The anti-gay slur “faggot” is nothing more than “a naughty name.” <1/23/07>

“What happened to the Duke lacrosse team was practically a lynching without the rope. And for the first time in my life, Mr. Oreo Cookie without the chocolate on the outside can understand why people celebrated when O.J. Simpson was acquitted.” <1/15/07, using a racial slur for African-Americans that refers to “being black on the outside and white on the inside>

“hat I feel like saying is, ‘Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.’” <11/14/06, on what he would like to say to Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first elected Muslim member of Congress>

“I wonder if I’m alone in this — you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims’ families? Took me about a year.” <9/9/05>

“And that’s all we’re hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we’re seeing on television are the scumbags.” <9/9/05>

1. Beck has admitted to being crazy.

I guess that is a mandatory requirement to have to work for CNN.

[redqueen]

2. He is scum.

Very stupid scum, apparently.

[Unperson]

4. Well, in that case, Glenn...

[Gman]

5. Today I heard him say that

Paris Hilton resembled James Carville and wondered if her mom hooked up with Carville at some point.

He does have a point. She does vaguely resemble Carville.

7. He called New Orleanians scumbags... Glenn Beck=No CNN Headline News

I will not watch that channel as long as neo-nazi, KKK people like Glen Beck are employed there.

I wish I knew what products are sold on CNN Headline News and who sells them. I'd like to write to them to give them a piece of my mind... or call them.

[PATRICK]

8. Was that a gleeful boast?

n/t

[Bucky]

9. "I want to ask you, sir... are you with our enemies?"

You ingrateful liberals always seem to forget that Beck called Ellison "sir" at the same time he was calling him a terrorist. See how respectful he can be? Let's follow his example.

10. More typical right wing projection EOM

11. Great - He'll Be Ecstatic When the Fairness Doctrine Comes Back!

I bet Glenn can't wait!

[damntexdem]

12. No, lack of divisive statements in response to rightwing rhetoric ...

was almost the death of this country. Now there is a slight trickle of response to the RW but not nearly enough.

[LynnTheDem]

13. So "democracy" will be the "death of this country"?

Oooohkay.

[eShirl]

14. Glenn - tell it to Rush, Focksnooze, Rove and the RNC

17. Morpheus certaintly does look sweet

:loveya:

[progressivebydesign]

16. stupid asshole. Why does that man have a job???

It boggles the mind that he's drawing a paycheck. People like him, until 10 years ago, lived in the basement of their mother's homes until they were thrown in jail for making threats on neighbors and soap opera characters.
