Not to be out-done by Rush Slimball Limbaugh, Glenn Beck crawls out from under a rock to join the pig club:
Glenn Beck still the quintessential D* Bag
From www.politicususa.com:
Beck played a clip of Stewart asking how the Occupy Wall Street protesters aren’t like the tea party, and said, “How long do you have Jon? You’ve only got a half hour show. I’ve got a two hour show, and I can’t fit it in two hour, Jon. Open your eyes, you moron. Stu said, Yeah, but if you just say it, and the crowd laughs, it’s true that makes it true. They’re the same. They’re exactly the same. How are they different? They’re talking about killing and cannibalizing the rich. Just like the tea party.” Beck chimed in, “They’re talking about revolution in the streets and destroying the entire system, just like the tea party.” Stu said, “Remember when the tea party talked about Google Jews and how evil they are?” Beck came back with more insults for Stewart, “It must be true, you dope. You know Jon Stewart; I have absolutely no respect for you. You are not a thinking man at all.”
There are a couple people not to mess with on here. One is Bill Clinton and the other is Jon Stewart. I might have to add Steve Jobs to the list but so far, he is not on there. This was Glenn Beck and crew’s response to the video segment on the Daily Show entitled Parks and Demonstration.
Glenn Beck basically has no class. He is coarse and common and it is wonderful that he is no longer on Fox News. Actually the gang of 5 who replaced him are doing a pretty decent job. Of course, they profit by comparison. The first thing Beck needs to do is grow up. Maybe his wife can help him work on acquiring some class. His bishop needs to get hold of him. No Mormon I have ever known has acted like this.
Jon Stewart is probably smirking right now. Go Jon.
New Level of Pig-dom
Glenn Beck has reached a new nadir in his attempt to be a pig.
Meghan McCain made a commercial alerting people to the dangers of skin cancer. Both of her parents are skin cancer survivors. Glenn reacts on his radio show.
What I don’t understand is how Beck can go on Faux News at 5 almost as the Reverend Mr. Beck and talk about honor and humility, then have a radio show where this type of behavior is often the order of the day. Why would he make fun of someone’s personal appearance (he should be so lucky!) or make fun of a serious message about a killer disease?
Mock vomiting over a person is simply adolescent. The sooner his business dries up, the better. He owes the McCain family an apology. Time to grow up, Glenny.
Glenn Beck watches Glee in horror!
Glenn Beck set his sights on a new target on his Thursday show: “Glee.”
Speaking before a live studio audience, Beck said that “our whole culture is set up right now for you and the values we grew up with to lose.” He used “Glee” as an example.
“I’ve watched it in stunned horror combined with a sense of admiring awe,” he said. “It is a brilliant brilliant show…but it is a horror show…everybody in here is somebody your kids would want to be like, except everyone is sleeping with everyone else, it’s all about self-gratification…it’s a nightmare.”
However, he said the skill with which the show was made meant that “there is no way to beat this.
Is Glenn Beck nuts? Glee is probably one of the most redeeming show there is about young people. Is Beck naive? He admits to watching 2 of the shows. He needs to watch more before commenting. In the first place, all the Glee kids aren’t beautiful. They are talented. Each person represents a demographic of typical high school. Is there hyberpole? Yes. Perhaps the most exaggerated character is Sue Sylvester who is just meaner than a rattle snake. We have all worked with such people–the person at work who is always trying to ‘get’ someone.
I have never watched Glee that it didn’t teach a strong lesson. We aren’t going to learn lessons in shows like Pollyanna. Glee is contemporary and explores current topics. Beck really needs to get a life. There is so much worse on TV that has half the talent. He would bitch and cry if it starred Mother Teresa.
Glenn Beck draws criticism from Bill Kristol
Bill Kristol laughs off the Glenn Beck phenomena. Beck doesn’t like it one little bit and goes into nasty mode at Kristol, basically stating that he is ill-informed and outdated.
Does Beck ever back off of anything? He and Palin both joust at the established conservatives like Bill Kristol and Barbara Bush. How smart is that? Both Barbara Bush and Kristol has withstood the test of time.
Dana Milbank Calls Out Glenn Beck
The Washington Postcolumist Dana Milbank has a few words to say about Glenn Beck and his new-found affection of civil rights.
Civil rights’ new ‘owner’: Glenn Beck
By Dana Milbank
Sunday, August 29, 2010There is a telling anecdote in Glenn Beck’s 2003 memoir about how the cable news host was influenced by the great fantasist Orson Welles. To travel between performances in Manhattan, Beck recounts, Welles hired an ambulance, sirens blaring, to ferry him around town — not because Welles was ill but because he wanted to avoid traffic.
Most of us would regard this as dishonest, a ploy by the self-confessed charlatan that Welles was. Beck saw it as a model to be emulated. “Welles,” he writes, “inspired me to believe that I can create anything that I can see or imagine.”
I was reminded of Beck’s affection for deception as he hyped his march on Washington — an event scheduled for the same date (Aug. 28) and on the same spot (the Lincoln Memorial) as Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic march 47 years ago. Beck claimed it was pure coincidence, but then he made every effort to appropriate the mantle of the great civil rights leader.

Glenn Beck Rally: Its Not About Politics
Saturday, August 28, 2011 is the big Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally. It will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.
Beck, a popular figure among tea party activists and a polarizing Fox News Channel personality, is headlining the event, and Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a potential 2012 president candidate, will be a prominent speaker. But Beck told his television audience again on Thursday that it’s not about politics.
The event’s website says the rally is to pay tribute to America’s military personnel and others “who embody our nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor.” It also is to promote the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides scholarships and services to family members of military members.
The website urges citizens to attend and “help us restore the values that founded this great nation.”
How can anything featuring Sarah Palin not be about politics? She is the embodiment of politics.
Glenn Beck Attacks the Jobless
I don’t doubt for one second that there are people out there gold bricking, but to make sweeping generalizations? I know of several people who just haven’t been able to get a job. Perhaps there are better people to attack than the jobless.
Much of the unemployment situation depends on location. Those of us living in Northern Virginia are fortunate. We haven’t been hit as hard as other localities.
Was Beck lacking sensitivity? Is it fair to attack people for being unemployed after 99 weeks?
Who the Hell has ever heard of The Tides Foundation anyway?
From Huffingtonpost.com:
On his Monday radio show, Glenn Beck highlighted claims that before he started targeting a little-known, left-leaning organization called the Tides Foundation on his Fox News TV show, “nobody knew” what the non-profit was.
Indeed, for more than a year Beck has been portraying the progressive organization as a central player in a larger, nefarious cabal of Marxist/socialist/Nazi Obama-loving outlets determined to destroy democracy in America. Beck has routinely smeared the low-profile entity for being staffed by “thugs” and “bullies” and involved in “the nasty of the nastiest,” like indoctrinating schoolchildren and creating a “mass organization to seize power.”
As Media Matters reported, the conspiratorial host had mentioned (read: attacked) the little-known progressive organization nearly 30 times on his Fox program alone since it premiered in 2009, including several mentions in the last month. (Beck’s the only TV talker who regularly references the foundation, according to our Nexis searches.)
So yes, Beck has done all he can to scare the hell out of people about the Tides Foundation and “turn the light of day” onto an organization that actually facilitates non-profit giving.
And guess what? Everybody in America would have found out about the Tides Foundation last week if Byron Williams had had his way. He’s the right-wing, government-hating, gun-toting nut who strapped on his body armor, stocked a pickup truck with guns and ammo, and set off up the California coast to San Francisco in order to start killing employees at the previously obscure Tides Foundation in hopes of sparking a political revolution.
Only Fox aired it….? WTF?
Fox News loves to tout that it was the only news(sic) station to air certain events. According to Glenn Beck, Fox News was the only station to show Israeli commandos being clubbed on the flotilla. Jon Stewart takes him to task. It seems that many other stations showed the identical footage. Will Beck apologize? Will his wife call him out over this ‘non-truth?’

Fox News has developed a reputation for being foot loose and fancy free with the truth. This anything goes with accuracy of facts is hurting their reputation and making them very much the laughing stock. It is one thing to take an alternative opinion, but that news organization needs to tell the truth, then take issue.
The Totally Nasty Beck
From Beck’s radio show. Note, he has apologized and said he broke his own rule about attacking people’s children. Too little too late. Totally nasty, in my opinion. This almost makes me sick to listen.
Beck and his sidekick make fun of President Obama’s daughter for asking about plugging the oil spill. They leave no stone unturned in the nasty and degrading department. There are some things you just can’t apologize for. the hateful laughing in the background pushed his behavior into the no redemption department.
Is this even funny to anyone? Is there any nadir to which Fox News will not sink?
Jon Stewart: Conservative Libertarian
Warning: some adult subject matter.
Jon Stewart does a real good Glenn Beck. You have to watch out for that social justice!

Is it just me or does Jon Stewart’s spoof make more sense than Glenn Beck?
I have decided Beck is just dangerous. His audience is too wide and there are just too many people who buy into this crap. Is this a cult?
I think I have wasted an hour of your time….

I am sure Glenn Beck is disappointed that there just wasn’t more red meat out there. But as Jon Stewart says, he got a new sign off slogan. I liked the dog best.
And on another score, I feel like I have been wasting my time trying to establish dialogue on issues that people are talking about or want to talk about. Interesting, that Elena and I can be insulted at the drop of a hat, and if we so much a speak back, the self righteous start in on us again about our manners. That’s not going to work any more.
I don’t feel like swimming through a sea of partisan politics and sound bites only to be insulted. I don’t feel like spending the day defending one lone person who comes through the blog on his way to work and throws a poke at the Tea Party. Not meaning to be Gospel Moonie but, “First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
I do hope this subject doesn’t have to be revisited. Enjoy Jon Stewart. He is funny in this video and I am simply too tired to look for anything more stimulating.
