Amazing quote from Craig T. Nelson on the Glenn Beck show:

[Lorien]

"I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No."

(Posted by a friend today on Facebook).

[Maccagirl]

3. Well, yes Craig-as a taxpapyer-I did.

I'd expect some gratitude.

[Chorophyll]

24. Uh-huh.

Seriously.

[Motown_Johnny]

4. a very very old quote (if I am not mistaken)

I remember seeing the clip a while ago, one year? Two? Three?

I didn't take note of when I saw it, only the obvious stupidity of the statement stuck.

[madmax]

5. That's been around but, it's definitely solid gold. :) nt

[FrancisTreptoe]

6. I feel as though

Nobody at fox news understands what social welfare programs are.

[Billy Burnett]

23. Except that they want the dam gubmint to keep its hands off it!

[madrchsod]

7. nelson is a dick..ok..he`s an out of work republican

8. ... thereby justifying his presence on BeKKK's show.

There could be no more of a perfect platform for making an idiotic statement than on BeKKK's show.
Failin does it all the time. :rofl:

[provis99]

11. I think he was drunk on the Beck appearance, too.

[BuelahWitch]

25. That rat bastard! Drinking away his foodstamps! /outrage!

:rofl:

[Dawson Leery]

12. Typical teabagger indeed.

As Matt Taibbi made clear, the tea parties are of the worst narcissists around.

[City Lights]

13. D'oh!

:dunce:

P.S. You're welcome, Craig!

[Mimosa]

[Enrique]

19. keep government away from my food stamps and welfare!

[NNN0LHI]

20. I couldn't believe this was true without seeing a video. Here it is. 10 seconds

21. You mean other than welfare and foodstamps, Craig?...n/t

[AndrewP]

22. Same thing with the Teabagger here in ND that collected Flood buyout $

after the major flooding in 2008. There were a percentage that I know personally are Teabaggers who hate the idea of the Government doing anything in their lives.....yet they took the Federal Government buyout of their property. Go figure.

[madinmaryland]

26. Classic!!

[AnArmyVeteran]

27. I saw that video and of course the buffoonish Beck failed to point out the obvious.

Glenn Beck, a person who constantly touts his Christianity, but then violates the Ten Commandments every day he is on the air by 'bearing false witness against his neighbors'. And his deluded Christian audience cheers on his every violation. Hell, (Jerry Falwell's) Liberty University even had Beck-the-Buffoon speak at their graduation ceremonies last May so they must believe Beck's daily violations of the Ten Commandments is just fine.

[Canuckistanian]

28. Oy.

[Horse with no Name]

29. That's the cognitive disconnect

When THEY get help...it is only an extension of THEIR own bootstraps.
When SOMEONE else gets help...they are sucking the system dry.
What a fool.
