Glenn Beck: The New Messiah? Palin Running Mate? Or What?

A fear monger is all he is, a safe fear monger. Fear is a most powerful weapon, the more people take him and Palin seriously the more distorted and confusing they get. Honestly, what is safer than him having an interview on FOX? Gregory has worded it quite well though, there is no threat to Christianity. All there is right now is a threat to freedom of religion, and it's a bit ridiculous.
Also a shame to the good Beck name. Mr. Campbell would not be pleased.

The Beck/Palin/Tea Party ideology is the face of American fascism. Hopefully they'll never get the opportunity they're looking for.

My understanding is that anyone who thinks someone else is a racist is really racist. Therefore since Beck thinks Obama is racist, Beck must be the real racist.

Beck is a circus clown. He knows what he's doing but it does surprise me that his asshatedness actually catches a fire amongst the brainwashed and the ignorant. Years from now I can't imagine he will be anything more than a novelty footnote. A melodramatic blowhard snakeoil salesman.

This is funny. Well, interesting at least.

This guys subtly spreads hate just to suck up to his demographic.

How do you spell it? E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T. Politicians, lawyers, “news” people, etc. are all ACTORS and SALESMEN. We watch them fiddle while Rome burns down. Bread and circuses? We have beer and TV.

The problem with Glenn Beck is that people give him attention

I think in Christian mythology, that's what the anti-christ does. What do I know, though – everything I know about the christian armageddon i learned from reading the backs of the left behind series, not the bible. Both sources are equally valid.

And I don't “think” that.

Projection.

So is that!

So is that!

Thinking is an Un-American activity. Just stare passively at the screen and do what it tells you like every real patriot should.

Fear sells…and suckers are buying like never before. The only tragedy here is that this clown is being debated and taken seriously…the fact that I'm commenting on his existence and its theoretical impact on our culture is a cruel irony…because it lends him a relevance I would never willingly have granted him.

Thank you for that mental image of Glenn Beck ejaculating.

Glenn Beck makes me seriously consider violence as an acceptable means of political or social change. The problem is, my reasons for wanting to do violence upon this man is mainly due to aesthetics; he makes my world an uglier place, so I want to retaliate with violence. Not very mature, but there you go.

Yes, he is strangely not completely bonkers in this video, but judge the man by what he does rather than what he tells someone.

Great. Now I'm going to need to bleach my brain.

Beck exists because reality is that S-corps and individuals of modest means are being plundered by a union controlled, for the few by the few, government that is a self-serving prophecy. Get a federal government that controls it’s spending, limits its powers and truly serves the people and we wouldn’t have a fear monger like Beck and perhaps not have to listen to any more of Palin’s ramblings.

Or we can look to another Stimulus? Smoke pot, drop a dose, then learn Mandarin as we are tooled into China's Socialist love child. Let the unions liberate the country.

Our current administration attacks a states immigration policy with as much or more fervor then that which they push on the newly nuclear empowered Iran. What is up with Clinton’s filing of the SB1070 bill to the U.N. over human rights? Really? Talk about empowering the Right and adding fuel to Beck and the notion of a systemically broke system. Obama and Clinton should face the issue head on. The Left has already screwed the pooch for the November elections and most likely the elections beyond –Obama make a stand and stop hiding behind a veil.

I guess it is easier to focus on Arizona than Iran. Let the Israeli’s work on the later; that could kill two birds with one stone. Brilliant!

Hope the blue bloods on both sides of the aisle enjoyed their well deserved vacation. Beck was out there working hard, preaching for “God and truth” to growing numbers of the Republic’s frightened populous and that is scary.

Really? The government is controlled by the unions? And not the corporations and banksters who contribute far more money to campaigns and actually help write some legislation? I find that hard to believe.

Here is a list of the top 129 donors of the past 20 years which as you can see is heavily weighted in the giving unions favor. Now if you want to put PAC's into the mix then unions really dominate. Unions are much more of an influence then you wish to believe within the policy and legislation of our government.

Connie:

It may have been more apropos to reference Gabriel's stanza “Red rain is coming down.”

Check out this article about a union controlled state that is about to implode based on bad state legislation from 11 years ago. It will make the EU's problems with Greece and Spain seem trivial.

If ignorance is bliss welcome to nirvana.

Standing Applause.

You really gotta give it up to Glenn for giving it his all this award season and really digging down deep to find the courage to vie for contention of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this years Biggest Douche in the Universe contest.

IF BUSH OR OBAMA CAN BECOME MASSAIAH, WHY NOT ME (GLENN) OR ( SEND ME BACK TO PLAIN /PAIN/PALIN WHAT???)
