This guy is crazy as a bedbug.

1. Here, Glenn, you need this more than I do --

:tinfoilhat:

[BurtWorm]

2. I hope he does an hour interview with himself

and find out he's wasted another hour of his viewers' lives.

[anarch]

3. I've always thought this guy was just an asshole

but now I'm starting to think he really needs some help.

[Birthmark]

4. Isn't he just an entertainer?

Are Presidents in the business of killing entertainers? The only similar that case I know of it was the other way around.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Projection on a scale

that would make a drive-in theater jealous. Who started this shit, Blecch? It was you and your repulsive ilk who are even yet attempting to whip up a frenzy among your cretinous viewers and listeners. I know it doesn't work this way, but if the federal government were to put out a 'hit' on you, I could make a case for it being self-defense.

[brewens]

6. He may feel like a string of brilliant Obama victory's are a direct

threat to him. He's probably right there. I hope it doesn't kill him though. Maybe a total nervous breakdown, leaving him catatonic and drooling on himself:)

[Sheepshank]

7. wow...he so badly wants to be seen as being persecuted.

Persecuted for his righteous beliefs. He's a mormon, they love to be seen as the persecuted victims. I think they think it lends credibility to their cause. He would love to pretend he may have to go out in a blaze of righteous, martyrdom. The reality is that it's all a red herring.

He's not worth a rusty bullet, or a bent ice pick IMHO. Give him nose-a-tweek and let him wallow with his epic failure buddy tea baggers.

[Tutankhamun]

30. Mormons like to see themselves as victims?

Do you realize what a bigoted statement that is? How dare you disparage a group of people who follow a religion started by a huckster, con man and convicted felon. Do you think it's ok to speak ill of an entire group of people who campaigned aganst the happiness of others (gay marriage in CA)? Do you think you can just disrespect any religion with a well-documented history of blatant discrimination against black people?

How dare you.

:sarcasm:

[Sheepshank]

50. phew

thank goodness for your :sarcasm: You almost had me. The only thing you forgot was "Go Romney" lol

I was about to shrivel under your drivel. But then I remembered what it was like living 'under the banner' for all those years, and damn I knew I was right!

[GrantDem]

8. Best comment:

"TARGET ASSESSMENT: WASTE OF AMMO"

[mediaman007]

9. Just like when Cheney said that reports in England signaled that

Iraq had nuclear weapons. Of course the English reports were planted by Cheney. As always, establish a red herring.

Here we have Democratic officials and their families receiving death threats, so Beck suggests that the administration wants him dead, so he can balance and belittle the threats to the Democrats.

I cannot believe that more than 15% of Americans buy into this crap. Sadly, a conservative I used to respect has thrown moderate Republicans under the bus. His latest toss was Grassley of Iowa. The radical right now has a litmus test for its candidates. I can hardly wait for the election just to find out where our country stands. Hopefully the teabaggers will get solid message of rejection from the voters.

[Webster Green]

10. Well, the US has been using drones to eliminate terrorist leaders

Perhaps he should worry.

[chill_wind]

11. Talk about delusions of grandeur...

Whatever is left of him is really unraveling fast. His network bosses need to do an intervention..

[The Wielding Truth]

12. Some words can harm and some can provoke harmful actions.

Glen should be held to the rules of journalism if he insists on presenting shows as study guides.If he doesn't he should be considered un-credible and a warning label should show on the screen warning that the things presented on this show have little or no factual basis.

[Newest Reality]

13. I tend to see this as probably more sinister than it appears

Beck and his ilk are not independent, to me. Nor do I assume they are anything more than actors and yet, they know full well that they will be confused with something that is serious and of their own making. I think more people on this side of the carpet get that.

That being said, who or what are behind the shows? We can assume that the media conglomerate's executives and producers are involved to some degree.

When you think about it, these kinds of gas-bag spewing commentators, (Beck, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc.) may be good for ratings, but they clearly should be embarrassing and an obvious threat to the veracity and stature of the hosting stations and media outlets. So, they may get ratings and push product, but I really don't think this is all that innocent.

I just question this, now that we see the violence bating gearing up. It all smacks a little of a new version of the Brown Shirts and gee, I wouldn't put it past the Wealthy and Elite owners to play a hand like this. I mean, they have groups of zombies, (not thinking or checking) to manipulate and whip into a froth.

You an pass this off as conspiracy theory, but after all these years, the misinfo and disinfo that a handful of popular talking heads have been spewing, (as very serious and believable actors) has someone on the top condoning the agitprop. The question is, do they also provide a rough script of what should be portrayed?

[chill_wind]

20. It appears no more innocent than, say, the Pentagon Pundit Program

(which AFAIK) has never been brought to closure, the IG investigation of it 18+ months ago a complete sham, and no media CEO heads rolled for participation in that, either..

That was all much slicker, though. Beck is having what appears to be a very rapid *overt* meltdown.
I'd be surprised if he doesn't get sent on some unused vacation days sometime very soon.

[Walk away]

14. My most feverent hope is that his rabid spawn of a listening audience..

someday rises up and smites him (literally or figuratively I don't really care).

I just want to see it on Youtube.

[Canuckistanian]

15. They know where to find him

He's in the Fox Studios EVERY FUCKING NIGHT.

Would be too hard, would it?

[thelordofhell]

16. I'm loving the Obama administration more every day

:evilgrin:

[liberalmuse]

17. He's trying to get one of his batshit followers to harm Obama.

Motherfucker. I despise this Aryan dough boy almost more than I despise the original buggering dough boy.

[Politicalboi]

23. That is exactly what he is trying to do

With President Obama on the road these days it's really scary right now. He's saying Kill Obama before he kills me. NOW!

[Dr Morbius]

18. No, Mr. Beck. No one wants to kill you.

In fact, no one wants to hurt you.

We really don't want you to hurt yourself, either. That's why we put padding on the walls. And that jacket with the buckles in the back; that's again a measure to ensure you don't hurt yourself.

In the meantime, we have some lovely crafts for you to consider. Basket weaving is nice; I like baskets, don't you? Sure, you do. Now, let's be nice about taking our medicine and not biting the nurses, Mr. Beck.

----------------------------------------

In truth, I am not sure whether Glenn Beck is insane or is merely portraying insanity for profit. He may be quite sane and acting a part. Either way, he's extremely dangerous, because some people watch his program and buy into every word.

[havocmom]

19. If ANYBODY is out to off Beck, it would be either

Bill-O or Ann Coulter. Both are just not getting the attention they think they should.

[Initech]

29. It wouldn't be the fault of the Obama administration, that's for damn sure.

[Monk06]

21. I don't quite understand what your driving at, Beck. Could you draw that on the chalkboard for me ?

[Arkana]

22. Hate to break the veneer of the persecution complex, Beck,

but I don't think the President gives two shits about you.

[BlueStater]

24. He's just a total sorry-ass excuse for a human being.

Nothing more to say to that.

[SmileyRose]

25. He wishes he was that important.

[Kievan Rus]

26. Beck is a paranoid nut

[ecstatic]

27. What if Fox News 'took him out' to generate ratings and sympathy

while getting rid of dead weight (no sponsors want him)?

[cynatnite]

32. He'd say Obama was so afraid of him that he had him taken off the air. n/t

[MUAD_DIB]

28. He starts off by talking about Jesus and how he taught many things but not Marxism?

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

“What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.”

[cynatnite]

31. Keep it up, Beckerwood. n/t

[scorpiogirl]

33. That should give his insane audience some fuel.

What a fucknut!

[Dappleganger]

34. Looking forward to how this will play out!

What a clown.

[Touchdown]

35. Malloy's right! He's about to off himself.

Only a matter of time now.

[Toasterlad]

36. The Obama Administration Doesn't Even Have the Balls To Go For a Public Option

They do all their killing through INaction, not action.

[guitar man]

37. Sigh...if only

Now that would be some change I could believe in!

:rofl:

[Contrary1]

38. Setting himself up to be a martyr...just in case.

Go easy on him Mr. President. A few more hemorrhoids will suffice.

[Hissyspit]

39. He's not crazy. He's playing the victim to his crowd.

It gives him power and money. He's a con-artist and a demagogue.

[Dr Morbius]

40. This is what I'm thinking.

Glenn Beck is a former morning zoo host. He's made a career of being outrageous. Like Ann Coulter, I don't think he actually believes what he spews. He's selling a product: insane hatred, fueled by ideological fervor. The problem here is the problem with Coulter: there are some people, not that many but some, who are stupid enough or gullible enough to believe it.

Glenn Beck is a dangerous, dangerous man. I don't think he's really crazy. He is certainly aware of what he's doing, and how harmful he is being. If he's able to distinguish right from wrong,legally, he's sane and able to stand trial. Crazy, perhaps not. Evil, absolutely.

[Swede]

48. Well that's some find acting skills he's got there.

Sure seems like a crazy fucker.

[Jennicut]

41. Anyone want to harass him at his house in CT? It is only an hour drive for me. Then again, we

don't harass people in their homes like teabaggers do.

A pic of his elitist home in wealthy New Canaan. I wonder who his neighbors are.


By the way, Ann Coulter was raised in New Canaan. Sheesh. This town has bad karma.

[pepperbear]

42. gosh glenn, if only you really were that important. n/t

[dana_b]

43. what an ego

he really thinks waaaaay too much of himself.

[gtar100]

44. Beck's standard modus operandi - projection

We may laugh and call him crazy but the guy is dangerous as long as he has a microphone. Because he whips up the stupid people of this country into a wild-eyed frenzy. The proper way to remove him from the airwaves is to expose him for the manipulative weasel that he is and and hope that enough people realize he's a worthless, lying scumbag not worth their time.

Honestly, how often can someone listen to a known liar? Apparently there's no limit judging by the tea-baggers. But the reality of their gullibility is just too damn obvious. They want respect but have none. They want to be heard but talk nonsense. They want to be taken seriously but act like fools. I'd laugh but I'm too disgusted right now by their obscene behavior.

[Whisp]

45. o cripes. he'll go in hiding and the crazies will think Obama offed him.

and he'll be kekeke'ing somewhere.

[struggle4progress]

46. I think I lose ten IQ points every time of hear anything about this guy.

I bet actually listening to him causes brain liquefaction

[DearAbby]

47. Quick someone hand him three nails and a cross

good TV, or has he already deemed that as Socialism?

[Lyric]

49. Don't insult bedbugs like that.

:P

[Naturalist111]

51. Diversion

the oldest ploy. Claim they are getting threats while making threats. Same ole song and dance with these people. They are very easy to read.

[troubledamerican]

52. Play the victim.
