Glenn Beck gets undies in bunch over Tweety's "Ballon Head" remarks, has a drama queen hissy fit

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Matthews called Bachmann a "balloon head" on Tuesday for saying that the Founding Fathers "worked tirelessly to end slavery." He noted that, besides the fact that many of the founders owned slaves, and that slavery only ended nearly a hundred years after the founding of America, slavery was also protected in the Constitution via the three-fifths clause, which stated that slaves would be counted as three-fifths of all other people when it came to determining how many seats in Congress each state was due.

Beck called the attacks on Bachmann "disgraceful" and said they were happening "because she could run for president of the United States and she could win."

Then he let loose with an epic tirade. After playing the clip of Matthews, Beck took the phrase "balloon head" and ran with it:

"You sir, are a balloon head that was taught by a balloon head and all you did because you're a balloon head was sit in your stupid balloon head Ivy League classroom and be indoctrinated by a balloon head and never ever used your balloon head to ask an intelligent question of the balloon head in the tweed jacket! You self-sanctimonious, self-important balloon head, America has had enough. Do your own homework."

1. So shithead runs with balloon head. What's new?

[gratuitous]

2. How did Beck end the segment?

From the transcript, I'm thinking he then ran down the hall to his room, slammed the door and sobbed into his pillow for an hour.

4. He must have pulled a "Corky St. Clair"

"You're just a bunch of bastard people and I hate your ASS faces and I'm going to go home and BITE MY PILLOW!"

:rofl:

19. Well, It takes one to know one?

3. That guy has the quintessential school yard bully face.

If a movie company were casting a role for playground bully, he would be it. He would take to the role like an otter to water.

I think that whenever I see a photo of that foaming moonbat.

Carry on.

5. The people who defend Palin and Bachmann are worse

because they have no excuse for their ignorance. With Palin and Bachmann it appears to come naturally.

6. LEAVE MICHELE ALOOOONE!

7. one guy I'd love to smack around

and I'm not a violent person. Put me in a ring with him.

8. BecKKK is losing it.

This guy is more of a moron than I could have believed. If he's not careful, he could work himself into a heart attack.

9. There is something seriously wrong with this guy

So many RW talking heads say outrageous things because they are opportunists and they say what their audience wants to hear, but Beck appears to have serious mental problems. I think he actually believes some of his own "crazy" and once he gets started, he can't stop.

13. Wrong with Beck...?

He has the classic symptoms of an addict:

paranoia, full-blown narcissism, self-righteous arrogance.

He's never wrong, never apologizes, plays on the emotions of others,

and would not recognize the truth if it bit him on the nose.

I'm betting alcoholism, but drugs might play into to it also.

Our society has 'battered wife syndrome' from the Cheney/Bush
husbanding from the past years; the people long for an
authoritative 'big Daddy' to come in, make all the decisions,
make them safe, and take care of them.
That's why the big talker conservatives appeal to them.

And that's why the progressives are such a threat.

Beck is gonna implode one of these days; we'll probably see
headlines...

[PatSeg]

16. Well said

I've seen similar behavior in addictive personalities. I'm sure his employers know he's going to implode too and are just going to exploit him for as long as they can.

[peekaloo]

12. at what point does he completely (literally) morph into a cartoon character?

listen to that "rant" in Homer Simpson's voice....:eyes:

[Jester Messiah]

14. Somebody's cranky!!

Does Beckums need a nap?

[UTUSN]

15. It took BACHMANN & BecKKK to get me to praise Tweety (for now)!1

And BecKKKerhead needs to do his own homework, since Tweety is not Ivy League and has bragged (in his mind) that his parents were "cloth coat (Rethugs)."

[NuclearDem]

17. Oi vey...

Why are EVERY single one of Beck's tirades shut down by 90 seconds on Wikipedia (as KO once said)?

Matthews went to a private Roman Catholic university called College of the Holy Cross, and earned his degree. What college did Beck go to again? ...oh yeah, he didn't. And the honorary degree from Liberty U doesn't count (which, by the way, Becky, taking stuff you didn't earn is something you demonize us libruls of doing all the time...)

So yeah, your words sum it up best...

"You self-sanctimonious, self-important balloon head, America has had enough. Do your own homework."
