Be Honest. Will You Watch Glenn Beck's Comedy Special on June 1st?
I can assure you, I will escape to the wilderness and be as far away from a television as humanly possible, to avoid even the most minute odds that I accidentally run across this special.

Besides, I thought his daily show was a form of unintended comedy.

3. No. There's nothing humorous about this pathetic asshole.



He has genuine problems and I hate to witness his downward spiral.

5. Absolutely not!
I don't waste time watching that buffoon whatsoever - much less in a venue where he's trying his best to be cute & funny.

If he says/does anything particularly noteworthy from a lunatic standpoint, the link will be posted here anyway.

7. How about a backpacking trip
through the Swat Valley instead? I'm told the scenery is spectacular.

9. If he commits suicide on live television I'll watch. Otherwise, no.

11. Right wing "humor" is so mean spirited
that I'd rather just take the short cut of driving nails into my eardrums than listen to any of it.

Since I still value my hearing, I'll avoid it. Fortunately, Pox and the other gasbag stations are clustered in an area I rarely visit unless I'm checking the closing stock market prices or Olbermann is doing one of his rants.

14. To me, Glen Beck is a guy who had a show...
...on CNN Headline News for about a minute and a half.

15. I didn't know about it until just now
Amazingly, I manage never to see the guy by the simple expedient of not turning on Fox News.

17. The guy, like all right wing comedians, thinks he's funny. And so do his few million listeners,
simply because they suck up to him.

Here's the problem tho: Left wing comedians are funny because 1.) their jokes are intelligent and profound yet easy to grasp and 2.) they attack everyone, including liberals (see Jon Stewart).

That's why they're funny. Because everyone can laugh at them.

18. Took my kids to see Star Trek yesterday and there was an advertisement
for his "comedy tour" or whatever before the movie. It was weird. I leaned over and told me 19 year old son that that guy isn't even a comedian, he's a right wing nutjob from Fox "news". He said he never heard of him. I told him there's a reason for that. Beck is just another attention seeking right wing loony who will do and say anything to get air-time.

The repukes don't have anyone.. ANYONE.. who could hold a candle to Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert and I think throwing Beck out there is making them look INCREDIBLY desperate. Sad.

19. Comedy special?
This is the first I'm hearing about this. I occasionally watch him for a few minutes when I need a good laugh, but I don't think I can stomach an entire special unless it involves him and/or Hannity being water boarded. For charity of course. Strictly for charity.

21. Only if he's been drinking before it
or else there's no way it will be funny
