Beck says "you are going to see the spirit of God unleashed" at 8-28

30 minutes ago

From the August 26 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:

[marmar]

1. What are these nuts planning?

nt

[EstimatedProphet]

36. I really have to wonder

You simply cannot keep the bigotry and hate at the level they have been driving it to indefinitely. It will boil over at some point. And undoubtedly when it does boil over, Glenn Beck will suddenly realize that he can't control an enraged mob after all.

80. Sounds like you are outraged, and seeing froth, where none was expressed.

"Let's pray." LOL

[Drale]

120. It will destroy him

The tide will turn and Beck and all of the republicans/tea baggers will be destroyed because in the end GOOD will always prevail.

[felinetta]

57. There they go again, using the GOD CARD.

[onager]

112. Gets old, don't it?

I'm a Fundamentalist Atheist myself. But maybe we could use some Xmas cheer from the Black Adder...

Baldrick: Well, I was a bit rushed. I've been helping out with the workhouse nativity play.

Ebenezer: Oh, of course! How did it go?

Baldrick: Well, not very well -- at the last moment, the baby playing Jesus died!

Ebenezer: Oh, dear! This high infant-mortality rate is a real devil when it comes to staging quality children's theatre. What did you do?

Baldrick: Got another Jesus.

Ebenezer: Oh, thank goodness. ...and his name?

Baldrick: `Spot.' There weren't any more children, so we had to settle for a dog instead.

Ebenezer: Oh, dear. I'm not convinced that Christianity would have established its firm grip over the hearts and minds of mankind if all Jesus had ever said was "woof."

Baldrick: Well, it went all right until the shepherds came on. See, we hadn't been able to get any real sheep, so we had to stick some wool...

Ebenezer: ...on some other dogs.

Baldrick: Yeah...and the moment Jesus got a whiff of them, he's away! While the angel's singing "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Mankind," Jesus scampers across and tries to get one of the sheep to give him a piggyback ride!

Ebenezer: Scarcely appropriate behaviour for the son of God, Mr Baldrick. Weren't the children upset?

Baldrick: Nah, they loved it. They want us to do another one at Easter -- they want to see us nail up the dog.

[newspeak]

116. Love and miss Black Adder!

I like Black adder better than his Bean character.

[mmonk]

2. Which one?

[mike r]

61. Maybe this one:

[mmonk]

97. Must be.

[Fuzz]

3. Ohhhh, can't wait!

Methinks it will just be a bunch of psychos who just think they're god though.

[hlthe2b]

4. So, willl "God" smite him?

Inquiring minds want to know and requests live video when it happens. :evilgrin:

[eShirl]

41. if he doesn't remember to avert his eyes

[walldude]

100. Oh you don't want to avert your eyes, it's depressing... like those miserable psalms

GOD: Arthur! Arthur, King of the Britons! Oh, don't grovel! If
there's one thing I can't stand, it's people groveling.
ARTHUR: Sorry--
GOD: And don't apologize. Every time I try to talk to someone it's
"sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy". What are you
doing now!?
ARTHUR: I'm averting my eyes, oh Lord.
GOD: Well, don't. It's like those miserable Psalms-- they're so
depressing. Now knock it off!
ARTHUR: Yes, Lord.

[aquart]

5. Glenn Beck is going to be struck by lightning?

[mmonk]

7. I might would show up for that.

[Mz Pip]

9. I'd pay to see that.

That would be awesome. Some dark clouds and thunders, followed by torrential rains, then the clouds part and a bolt from the sky zaps Glenn.

Do it God, do it.

[niyad]

14. I won't be there, but I would want video if it happened. he really shouldn't piss Goddess off like

that (pity the feat of nemesis happened a couple of days ago--that could have been very interesting)

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

18. I must admit, it's tempting.

But if We did that, then we would get all these requests to smite a bunch of other people, and that would put Us right in the middle of Earth politics. Officially We are trying to not to take sides. (Unofficially I think it's fairly clear which side I'm on)

[Mz Pip]

30. Just think of the publicity

you'd receive! It might be good from a PR standpoint.

Think about it at least. :-)

[spinbaby]

58. Perhaps you could get some minor god to do the deed

Just a suggestion.

[Raksha]

107. Yeah, from your screen name and the fact that you're posting at DU

it's pretty clear which side you're on. Plus you've got a long-standing reputation as a professional liberal already.

Welcome to DU!!! :toast:

[hobbit709]

20. I'd pay too.

Last I heard, getting struck by lightning was not a smiley face from god.

[aquart]

28. Make a lotta converts.

[mmonk]

37. +1

[lumberjack_jeff]

98. Hallelujah! n/t

[pacalo]

102. That was my thought, too!

:toast:

[OneGrassRoot]

6. Pleeeeeeease let the rapture happen then!!!

Oh please, oh please, oh please....

Then we heathens can distribute all their stuff!

:hi:

[AnArmyVeteran]

77. If right wing Christians were beamed off earth it would be heaven and they would go to hell.

[FSogol]

8. Can anyone besides me envision Beck and his followers drinking

Kool-aide in Guyana one day in the near future?

[WhiteTara]

35. Jim Jones wouldn't drink the Kool Aid, they shot him

to death. But, yes, the rest of them would group up, drink it down and die. Metaphorically they are doing that right now. Maybe some nut will shoot Beck on the 28th, thereby bringing fruit to his prophecy.

[Ganja Ninja]

88. I have a dream!

:evilgrin:

[FSogol]

94. They have a scheme!

:puke:

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

10. Well, since I am somewhat an authority on the Spirit of God, let Me state for the record...

Dad and I will NOT be in attendance at Glenn's pathetic rally. I doubt we'll even watch it on C-SPAN, if they're carrying it. (obviously, there's no FAUX "News" up here)

[Mimosa]

12. ^ ROTFLMAO! ^ n/t

[G_j]

21. LOL

welcome to DU!

[aquart]

32. Then can we book Thor?

Because he has actually more of the skills we're looking for. No offense.

[Mimosa]

11. I think I'm going to be sick! n/t

[Sheepshank]

38. that reminds me of a joke

Thor, the Norse god of Thunder was on his white steed, riding through the skies, throwing his thunder bolts calling, "I'm Thor! I'm Thor".

Helga his wife calls back, "Of courth you're thore, you fogot the thaddle, thilly".

[mzteris]

13. if there is a god - I hope it unleashes some damn lightening

on his @ss.

Now THAT just might make me thinking about a becoming a buhliever again. . .

[arcane1]

15. Does he mean God, or the Mormon space-daddy god?

Boy his xtian followers will be disappointed when "god" returns on a space ship :rofl:

[old mark]

16. Maybe Beck will grab his chest and fall dead!!!!

I'd buy that fucking video, Fox or not!


:bounce:

mark

[mzteris]

17. btw - have I mentioned lately

the man is truly delusional. And yes, I mean in a clinical sense. He truly needs help and the people exploiting him should be ashamed. Of course those people are never ashamed of committing any evil act against others. They revel in it.

[sharp_stick]

76. It's his company

he exploits himself, always has and will until the day he dies. Beck controls all things Beck, people don't exploit this asshole, he exploits them.

[Doctor_J]

118. Let that day come very soon

and be very painful

[krabigirl]

19. Lmao

[PA Democrat]

22. So we can expect a bolt of lightening to strike Beck ,Palin & company?

[arbusto_baboso]

23. This is seeming less like a political rally and more like a mormon "missionary opportunity".

I think Glenny is feeling guilty about not having ever served a mormon mission since he is an adult convert.

And since mormons only EVER see non-members as potential converts, maybe that's the true focus of Beck's pandering to the teabaggers. It sure wouldn't surprise me.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Sex talk with Glenn Beck is sooooo unappealing.

Ugh.

[Bobbie Jo]

25. If by "spirit" he means wrath...I'm watching!

[Dr Morbius]

26. I think it's gonna be heartwarming.

For every nutcase Beck brings to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, there will be ten Americans at Al Sharpton's gathering.

[izzybeans]

27. It's so absurd now that I'm half expecting him to walk out on stage with Ashton Kutcher and

say we "punked you mfers. I can't believe you were that stupid to come here. It's almost as good as the time Ashton made Timberlake cry. Nothing beats watching that annoying poser cry. But you all are a close second. Thanks! And Good Night!"

But then again, the reality is this is just a two minute hate organized to co-opt (to use a stupid phrase) "the true march of liberty". ...to turn our heroes into villains and resurrect old ones under a false god wedded to a dangerous ideology.

I prefer my alternate universe where Beck truly understood Orson Welles and his entire career was all a big set up for a glorious tragically-ironic finale.

[City Lights]

29. Bring it on! nt

[BurtWorm]

31. Which God? Beelzebub?

[newspeak]

44. or Morloch or Mammon?

How can a delusional vicks sniffing fellow get a gig above anyone with intelligent discourse and rationale? :banghead: Oh forgot, he's the perfect corporate stooge. sniff...sniff "first they came for the banks" sniff...sniff. Oh, those poor banks!!!! :cry:

[Quantess]

111. Whatever it is, it has to be let off its leash first.

Right now it's snarling and straining on the choke collar.

[Sheepshank]

33. Bloody idiots

spout stupidity, failing at every turn and finally trying to gain validity by invoking the God meme.

Palin, Angel, Bachmann, Huckabee & Beck do this with some alarming frequency.

[no_hypocrisy]

34. May not happen as he envisions . . . . .

[TwilightGardener]

39. Well, it had better be spectacular, with that kind of hype. He'd better not

point to the crowd and suggest that the turnout is evidence of the spirit of God, or some such lame bullshit.

[philly_bob]

40. Blasphemy? No problem, for the Right Wingers... (nt)

[arbusto_baboso]

43. Since what they truly worship is power, this is not blasphemy to them.

In fact, besides power, nothing is sacred to them, either. Not God, not the America they claim to love, not "family values", NOTHING.

[Steely_Dan]

42. Seriously...

I am truly afraid of the toxic atmosphere that continues to grow in this country.

Taxi driver stabbed...
AA accosted at tea bagger rally...
Armed tea baggers...
Quran burning....

It is getting worse every day.

I'm sorry to those who are avid Obama supporters. I am a supporter of our President. But quite frankly, our President needs to step up the plate and LEAD. We need strong leadership now before this gets out of control.

-P

[mmonk]

48. What you see happening is eliminationism making the shift.

My eyes are wide open. I will know when to get out in time.

[Steely_Dan]

51. Interesting....

Can you expand on this?

Thanks...

-P

[mmonk]

56. Here is from the best source IMO.

http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2006/12/eliminationism-in-america-i.html

While it may seem as though this rising drumbeat of eliminationism proceeding from the American right is something new and uniquely dangerous, a look at our history actually reveals that it is something buried deep in our national psyche. It lies dormant in our soil and comes bursting forth when bidden.

What distinguishes eliminationism -- and particularly the rhetoric that precedes it and fuels it -- is that it represents a kind of self-hatred, especially in an American culture which advertises itself as predicated on inclusiveness, egalitarianism, and equal opportunity, since it runs precisely counter to those ideals. Eliminationists, at heart, really hate the very idea of America.

It has its origins, like slavery and war, in some of man's most ancient and most savage impulses: the desire to dominate others, through violence if necessary. However, in contrast, it goes largely unnoticed and largely unexamined, perhaps because it is a side of human nature so ugly we prefer not even to recognize its existence. So much so that only recently have we even had a term like "eliminationism" with which to frame it.

As I've explained, the term's first significant use came from historian Daniel Jonah Goldhagen in his controversial text, Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust. Goldhagen never provides a concise definition of the word, but rather constructs a massively detailed description of the eliminationist mindset.

[Steely_Dan]

59. Wow...This is new to me...

I will definitely research this term. It sounds like something that rings true.

Thanks for posting.

-P

[newspeak]

66. the Humboldt professor who spoke with our class

wrote a book on altruism. Why some people during Hitler sacrificed their lives and their families to help others, while others were more than willing to turn in their neighbors and murder others. He was a baby at the time of Hitler and his mother was waiting to get on one of the cattle cars-his mother shoved him in the hands of a young woman and pleaded with her to take her baby.

Well, the woman who cared for him was single and someone reported her to the gestapo-that she had a baby. When questioned, she cried and told them that a german soldier got her pregnant and left her. They bought it.

What he found was that families who used less physical punishment and had more open dialogue with each other were more likely to save another, while those who lived in fear of a family member and had more severe physical punishment were more likely to turn another in and kill. It was a rather fascinating discussion. Those who fear authority can easily be led to commit atrocities.

[mmonk]

96. Interesting.

There has to be something at work in the brain for sure based on experiences. Thanks.

[LiberalAndProud]

65. You mean

our illegal alien black muslim president? That guy? He is the lens through which their hatred is focused. There is no reasoning with the vitriol. It will play itself out. It is ugly and slimy and has nothing to do with righteousness.

[NickB79]

68. I'm just waiting for the US to have it's own Kristallnacht

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht

"Kristallnacht (German pronunciation: ; literally "Crystal Night") or The Night of Broken Glass was an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany (including Austria and Sudetenland) from the 9th until the 10th of November 1938. It is also known as Novemberpogrome, Reichskristallnacht, Reichspogromnacht or Pogromnacht in German.<1>

The Kristallnacht was triggered by the assassination in Paris of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a German-born Polish Jew. In a coordinated attack on Jewish people and their property, 91 Jews were killed and 25,000 to 30,000 were arrested and placed in concentration camps. 267 synagogues were destroyed, and thousands of homes and businesses were ransacked. This was done by the Hitler Youth, the Gestapo and the SS.<2> The Kristallnacht also served as a pretext and a means for the wholesale confiscation of firearms from German Jews.<3>

While the assassination of Rath served as a pretext for the attacks, the Kristallnacht was part of a broader racial policy of Nazi Germany including antisemitism and persecution of the Jews.<4> Kristallnacht was followed by further economic and political persecutions. It is viewed by many historians as the beginning of the Final Solution, leading towards the genocide of the Holocaust.<5><6>"


Only this time I'm betting either Hispanics or Muslims get targeted.

[butterfly77]

84. Pissing on a rug ..

in a mosque..

[MadBadger]

45. Hopefully a Flood of Noah's Ark proportions??!!

:applause:

[Bluerthanblue]

46. if this is true, Beck may hear the words- "depart from me, I never knew you"

along with many other 'righteous leaders' who try to hide their selfishness and hatred behind the mantle of "christ"ian,

Jesus said, "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me". Mr.Beck.

[Roland99]

47. he's presuming that his "God" will speak thru him to his witless followers?

As long as this "God" tells him to take a long walk off a short pier, I see no problem!

:)

[Buns_of_Fire]

64. We know God has a sense of humor (ref: Duckbilled Platypus)...

So maybe God will tell him to expose himself (literally!).

[Roland99]

67. ewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

[guitar man]

49. Uhh, That's not the spirit of God Glen

My prediction of what the event will look like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6dm9rN6oTs

:D

[eShirl]

50. is he going to pull a Jonestown?

nothing this guy does would surprise me at this point
:crazy:

[slackmaster]

52. What does one wear to the unleashing of the spirit of God?

[MattyGroves]

53. Thinking of heading to the Smithsonian that weekend so I'll have to look for the pillar of flames

Lots of good exhibits at the American History Musuem and since Beck's circle-jerk starts at 10 a.m. I figure the morning will be good time to pop in.

The best part is that it'll be far enough from crazy-town that I won't have to navigate the crowds but close enough that if God appears I should be able to see the aftermath.

[lpbk2713]

54. I hate to be the one to tell you Glenn.

But Charlton Heston died a couple of years ago.

There will be no parting of the waters at the Mall. :cry:





These idiots are always good for a laugh if nothing else. :rofl:

[Vinca]

55. As an atheist, I would definitely become a believer if

a well placed bolt of lightning was "the spirit of God unleashed."

[notadmblnd]

60. This is going to be a big non-event

And there will be no God showing up either.

[Buns_of_Fire]

62. If a truck backfires within three blocks of him, you'll see the spirit of his bowels unleashed. nt

[Javaman]

63. This has "jumped the shark" written all over it. nt

[Raschel]

69. Will God be coming from the planet Kolob? Will Glen be wearing secret underwear?

[spanone]

70. God ain't about hate, glenn

[fl_dem]

71. I would like to see the spirit of God unleashed on 08/28

with a well aimed lightning bolt ......

[Hekate]

72. How many people are expected to come? In reality, not in Beck's brain?

I wonder what kind of prep the Public Works Dept is undertaking? Whatever the reality, you can bet that FOX will give the participants a big whoopdedoo.

The guy is sick.

[Tesha]

73. So will this be like "Raiders of the Lost Arc" when the Nazis opened the Arc of the Covenant?

More importantly, will it also affect everyone at home watching the
spectacle on Fox???

"Hey Maw, Paw's head just melted away and his eyes' balls
jes' fell on the floor!"

Tesha

[Raschel]

74. So is Beck claiming he can "unleash" God?

[Chulanowa]

75. The spirit of god?

[Zenlitened]

79. Are his followers planning a sarin gas attack on the DC subway system?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin_gas_attack_on_the_Tokyo_subway

Because that's what it is starting to sound like. Beck is a nutcase, sure, but he's a cunning, charismatic one. Like any cult leader worthy of the title.

And the people who hang on his every word are religious cult followers in the richest, most dangerous sense of the phrase.

[Zorra]

81. Beck is the Prophet of the Book of Kool-Aid.

It's a sad commentary on the state of our country when an insane person spouting loony toon prophecies is found believable by enough people to justify allowing the lunatic a national forum with which to broadcast his nonsensical babbling.

Any reasonably mentally competent person can plainly see that Beck is crazier than a shithouse rat. Yet apparently all too many people actually agree with Beck's dystopic verbal ramblings.

It is not possible to reason with deranged people strung out on kool-aid.

Hopefully this cult will never grow to anywhere near the proportions of a somewhat philosophically similar that arose in Germany in the 1930's.

[butterfly77]

82. I hope all of the .

so called non americans they always oomplain about will be there to greet them at all of the red and blue stops and make sure you document their reactions...

[butterfly77]

95. and take some friends ...

[mstinamotorcity]

83. I wonder will the spirit

be on the red train or the blue train:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Buns_of_Fire]

85. Or the Night Train? (see post #75) nt

[TK421]

86. Why couldn't this have happened on my birthday, which was yesterday?

Nothing exciting ever happens on my birthday x(

[newspeak]

117. I wouldn't say that

"be careful what you wish for"--I got the bombing of Iraq on my birthday. So, watching the TV at the Pizza place where we were celebrating, they showed the bombing--I left and wept. One thing, will never forget the day.

[earth mom]

87. Is it rapture time yet...please?

:crazy:

[thereismore]

89. Would that be a Mormon God or a Christian God or a God of Mammon or a God of Islam or who? nt

[rasputin1952]

90. With any luck, God will manifest his foot...

and...

[Sta au]

91. What exactly is so special?

I can't imagine seeing that happening. Unless he means showing us his mormon magic underwear.

[mtnester]

92. One can hope......

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0zI-cRsGPc0/R5bFeKaBBMI/AAAAAAAABJY/QX6HELDXsyE/s320/the+stand+1990.jpg

[edbermac]

93. The only thing Beck will unleash is an acute case of oral diarrhea.

[Rex]

99. So what. Glenn is tired of the 50 million chump change and wants

to move up to the big time charlatan boys club! Move over Pat...out of the way Rush! Beck will bloom like a turdblossom on 8-28. DVR the event so future kids can 'laugh and point at the crazy man on the TV' too!

When will Glenn start giving away Love gifts for $20 dollars!?? Oh right, his book deal. :puke:

[walldude]

101. You know.. I am not a religious man...

but if there is a god, and he see's fit to... well, let's say he sees fit to give Jon Stewart enough material for a weeks worth of shows, I may be willing to reconsider my religious views.

[Scurrilous]

103. Sounds awesome!!1!

:o

[NNN0LHI]

109. Its going to be hugh!1!1!1

:thumbsup:

[Codeine]

104. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! nt

[Old Troop]

105. That may not be a good thing. What if God's pissed?

[tanyev]

106. You're starting to sound like bin Laden, Glenn.

[librechik]

108. If there is a god, how can he restrain himself from zapping Glen with a lightning bolt?

I challenge you, O Lord... oh, never mind. It's like zapping a beetle.

[and-justice-for-all]

110. If god existed, it surely would have enough brains to not be becks buddy..nt

[blueworld]

113. God works in mysterious ways - I'll be happy with less than a lightning bolt

I'll be thrilled if God sends a large bird to "bless" Beck's bullet-point recitation with a lot of good luck.

I get the warm fuzzies every time I think of how Bush received an avian blessing on his sleeve - best speech I ever saw.

PS - I'll be in ecstasy if God decides to replay Mel Brook's interpretation of "The Birds" all over the tea bags. Besides, it's good for the lawn.

[NMMNG]

114. Are they serving beans?

:shrug:

[Justpat]

115. What has happened to our general populace that

so many can no longer recognize certifiable lunacy when they see it?

The man is nuts.

[bikebloke]

119. This morning on the bike trail.

Commuting in to work, a teabagger was waddling in the middle of the bike trail. He was dragging a big cross. Not really dragging, as it had wheels in the back. And if he was serious about his self-martyrdom, he would have been dragging a cross that would support his lard ass, instead of his flimsy balsa wood. But then he probably had to trim weight for his banner showing some apocalyptic fiery battle.

[GoldenOldie]

121. More like the second coming of Joseph Smith!

Beck has raised the bar for the Mormon youth requirement of door-to-door, country-to-country proselytizing.
