    If you hadn't already heard, Mr. Beck now gone completely Televangelist asks us all and our neighbours :rolleyes: to gather round the feet of the Lincoln Memorial at the national mall on August 28th for the unveiling of The Plan: Glenn's new 100 year Action Plan for America, which he had blessed by the Pope, apparently. This is of course the same date and location of Dr. King's now Historical I have a Dream speech.

    From what I gather, he claims to be receiving the direct word of God. I can only imagine that, from receiving the word of God, being sanctioned by the Vatican and highlighting such MLK extracts as this:

    On his April 21, 2009 show, Beck invoked King. "Martin Luther King, he then made everybody who marched with him take a pledge. Meditate daily on the teachings and the life of Jesus. I haven't seen Jesus and what he would do on a talk show on Fox but I'm going to try," announced Beck.


    Has all lead me to conclude that Glenn Beck intends to Piss on our Constitution and get Religion fully Integrated into it.

    The man loves to rant, and rant, and rant and rave, about how the country is going to hell, but fcuk me. You want to Destroy the very foundation of the country by doing something so repulsive? There are countries out there - like Ireland - which I believe are preparing in the coming years to shed their religious bindings. And don't forget, we declared sovereignty from England for many reasons: one of them being the Integration of Church and State, and the religiously-appointed monarchy.

    Im normally a live and let live guy when it comes to this sort of **** but now Im beginning to feel like my Freedom is going to be entrenched upon in the coming years, severely.

    Word on the street is that Fox are slowly but surely making an exit plan for him as he is gone "Manson" on them.
    Expect his show to be off the air this time next year.

    Not what they got.

    Remember he had a show on CNN which was pretty sane. I think they expected that with more bias.

    He's come out on top here, he's played Fox for fools. He's used them to build a very large and lucrative personal following but has done so by absolutely shredding any credibility they may have had left. In terms of his entertainment career one might liken his stint at Fox News to a scorched earth policy.

    I’ve heard the same as Jank that many at Fox are very unhappy about this. I wouldn't be surprised if he's shown the door. Even that would be a victory for him as he'd play the part of a martyr to his gullible fans who will continue to buy his books, listen to his radio show and support whatever new money making venture he creates.

    The new Rush Limbaugh. That old gezzer is going to be found dead on the toilet any day/year now and Beck will be the new blood for the crazies to listen to. Smart guy thats going to make millions but man did he sell his soul to do it!

    I don’t get it. Is Glenn an enormous threat or a laughable buffoon? The posts are confusing. I can’t seem to tell.

    I did just got a copy of “Arguing with Idiots.” Maybe after reading it, it will give me insight as to which one he really is. Or maybe it will just help me here. ;)

    Beck is a buffoon at this stage.

    Only on last week's Real Time, Bill Maher was talking about how Limbaugh is now having to try and up his own level of craziness so he doesn't get left behind, as Beck has raised the bar to a whole new level.

    Not unless you start debating with yourself under a different alias or whatever the internet forum equivalent of a mirror is.

    The fact that they had any credibility to begin with by now is what scares me. But yeah, the guy actually makes O'Reilly seem moderate.

    Glenn Beck, redefining extremism. It would be funny to see Fox try to get rid of him though, he seems to be well in with the tea party crowd. I doubt he'll go quietly.

    I don't watch him. He's a little too extreme even for me. Fox News is a capitalist entity. The best way to get Glenn Beck off the air is to boycott advertisers. Hitting FN in the pocketbook is the best form of protest. But as long as the advertising revenues are profitable, I don’t see them getting rid of him. Then again I think they might be looking for a spot to stick John Stossel into.

    Hopefully regardless of politics you will get a kick out of this:



    Just a tour de force against Beck.

    It's hard times to be a pundit goon, you really have to up the crazy to get heard. And the man converted to mormonism. My opinion of him is that his drug and booze days fried his brain leaving him as a soiopathic con artist.

    Beck is a loon. I thought Bill O'Reilly was off the wall but GB is so out there - it has to be a joke, right?

    i thought jon stewarts portrayal of beck was one of the funniest things on tv this year so far

    Glenn Beck, the 'libertarian', who dissed Ron Paul when Dubya was still occupying the White House, only to regard Paul as a prophet for our times once he took the Murdoch shilling.

    Don't take him too seriously!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,265 ✭✭✭SugarHigh


    Glenn Beck is mad as hell and he's not going to take it any more.
