My Thoughts On The Glenn Beck Rally

[JoeRedskin]

Beck is just the latest guy to tap into the cash cow that is "preach the end of the world is coming and people will pay to listen to you". Before the 1,000,000 channels of cable, they populated talk radio for decades. Inevitably, these guys start believing their own drivel.

What starts off as a calculated (and cynical) "preach to the choir" scam ends up as a "Wow, the choir believes me, I must be right" delusion.

This isn't like the Olbermann situation where MSNBC wanted him gone. Beck and Fox are probably going to gradually separate (I'd be surprised if this new digital content arrangment is a long term play)

I mean Beck's metaphor likening himself to Paul Revere...this is the type of stuff im gonna miss...seriously, if you dont throw your head back and lol when you hear him say something like that with a straight face, then you just dont get comedy. Astonishing people take this guy as real and not some comedic character. Colbert cant even do Beck, Beck is simply the man when it comes down to extreme right wing nut job.

I turned it on like a year ago and he was crying on TV saying he wanted his country back...a grown man crying on TV?...p*ssy comes to mind. Then one time I turned it on and he was talking about NYC, showing pictures of buildings and crap stating that it was really marxist, socialist symbolism. That NYC was built and fueled on those idealogy. I thought good lord this guy entertaining as sh*t...move over McCarthy. What a complete and utter jackass, Fox finally found their Rush. Glenn Beck is absolutely perfect for people who are too stupid to think on their own.

means he dont wont no colored folks in office! I wont my country back, boo, hoo? **** glenn beck and his racist supporters..........

The gift that keeps on giving.

Would you send you kids to Beck's political camp? This is what they can learn:


The Colorado 9/12 Project hosted a "Patriot Camp" for kids in grades 1-5 earlier this month, featuring programs on "our Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and the values and principles that are the cornerstones of our nation."

And in August, the Danville, Kentucky, chapter is holding a "Vacation Liberty School" that organizers pledge "will help your children understand where we came from. Understand where we went wrong. Understand where the fork in the road was, and which path we should have taken."

Thats not as bad as the liberal I heard last night saying that the Tea Party is full of people like this guy and its ony a matter of time before a tea party member does the same thing. Not sure who the person was but he was on the Left ch. and spewed more hate at the tea party then I have ever heard on the radio. The person was a guest but the host seemed to agree with eveything the person said.

I looked it up and the shows host was The Thom Hartmann Show

What's even more awesome is the liberal media trying to spin the Norway killer as a "Christian Extremist." GTFOOH.

Huge shocker but there are crazies on both sides of the fence.

Glenn Beck - wacko
Tea baggers - wackos
Norway killer - wacko

I think that covers it.

If you want to say he is not a real christian fine. A lot of people in the muslim world say the same about osama not being a muslim.

Bottom line, his manifesto alludes to his twisted christian beliefs.

Sorry I'm not throwing the Tea Party in as a bunch of wackos. The wackos are the American public in both parties that have allowed our government to run up a 14 trillion dollar dept, steal our SS money, etc... and then look to them to fix this crap.
