Far-right capitalist and conservative Glenn Beck WEEPING on live television

[Trystan]

Yup, it sure sucks to be right-wing these days. Actually, these right-wing shows are beginning to resemble some sorts of freakin' support groups.

Don't you just want to give him a big hug?


Oh the media! The liberals! The communist agenda!

:crying: :crying: :crying:

[Pogue]

What the hell was that about? What sort of shit do they screen over there?

[brigadista]

is that a comedy show? was that chuck norris in the crowd?

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

was that chuck norris in the crowd?

Yes.

God we're fucked.

[GPDP]

I, uh.

Um...

What.

[brigadista]

then yes it was chuck..

[Invincible Summer]

That was so forced it was painful to watch.

Then again, whenever I see Glenn Beck I want to take a fire extinguisher to his face

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

Ah d500 I could not agree more :lol:

And for those of you who don't agree, just remind yourself:

This guy makes a lot more money than you do for doing nothing but chatting. And the video you see here is about the most intellectually stimulating he gets.

Honestly.

[Louise Michel]

What the hell was that about? What sort of shit do they screen over there?

Well, that sort of shit and lots of it. I hate Glenn Beck. And the crying, "I love my country, sob, sob, sob (wipes eyes), defend our values, sob, sob, sob," I mean, it's not even real crying, it's like a kid trying to get mommy to give him another cookie.

[Jazzratt]

Thank you, fox news pundit for telling me the problem is the media. Your stinking hypocrisy is welcomed.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Well, I love my country too. I just don't like you and your faux friend, sorry.

[Vincent P.]

Man, his website is one of the funniest trashcan I've ever seen. It's the apotheosis of the neo-con religious-right capitalism along with conservapedia. What is less funny is knowing that about half of the US agree with this guy...

Not true. A solid majority of the American population actually leans further left than the media would have you believe on a variety of issues, including health care and the war. At the very most, you could make an argument for around a third of the population holding deeply reactionary views like Beck's and Hannity's. But these days, something tells me it's more around a fourth.

Granted. Although the fact that something like 45% of the americans believes in biblical creationism leaves me doubtful.;)

[RGacky3]

Is this guy real? Seriously this is the silliest crap I've seen in a long time, this guy makes bill and hannity look freaking level headed. This is rediculous, I cannot see how fox news can survive. Seriously imagen people watching this in 20 years in a differnt country, its silly.

[mykittyhasaboner]

I think I hate Glenn Beck, more than any of the actual people in government.

edit: I also find it hilarious how he claims his show is the "Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment" on his website.

[Pirate Utopian]

C'mon guys if just follow the American principals and norms we'll get there!

Or as McLaren (not the otherwise lovely band this song is miscredited to) would say:

[trivas7]

GB is a self-professed alcoholic and a Mormon. And really insufferable to watch.

[Poison]

Yea...that was definitely fake.

"I'm sorry...I just love my country so much!"

Excuse me while I go vomit.

[RGacky3]

I don't know where the entertainment part of it is, I don't think he's ever told one funny joke, only laugh like a maniac to nothing.

[Invincible Summer]

I'm pretty sure most of these pundits are on crack when they're on the air.

[brigadista]

is he a medium? looks like he has an incoming spirit....

[Jazzratt]

GB is a self-professed alcoholic and a Mormon. And really insufferable to watch.

Well at least he has a good solid moral grounding and an understanding of what's important in life, shame about the mormonism.

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

Doesn't the alcoholism cancel the mormonism out?

[GracchusBabeuf]

The right wing hysteria in the US over "socialism" is a kind of historical repetition of the Zinoviev letter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinoviev_Letter) in old imperialist Great Britain.:laugh:

Since when has that stoppped religious people?

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

Since when has that stoppped religious people?

Not drinking alcohol is a specific part of being a mormon. Just sayin.

[Kappie]

Not drinking alcohol is a specific part of being a mormon. Just sayin.Protestants don't recognize the Pope as the leader of the church, Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Messiah, and Mormons don't recognize each other in the liquor store.

[Vincent P.]

XD Not bad.

[Kappie]

XD Not bad.It says in you're profile you're from Canada so you've probably not spent enough time around Southern Baptists to have heard the original version of that joke, in which it is Baptists who don't recognize each other in the liquor store. I made the substitution in honour of the Beckster.

[Dean]

What really frightens me is the emptiness of media hysteria. The attitudes are compelling because they justify war and capitalism on massive scales, yet empty to the point of being rhetorically harmless. This goes for Glenn Beck and his racist cynicism as well as CNN with their whitewashed, shallow stories.

Fox news is really the best, seriously, this is wonderfull. It really just blows my mind every time the giant balls this station has.

[Pawn Power]

The sadist thing is not seeing a 'grown man' cry but that this is one of the highest rated 'news' shows in the country.

[Bud Struggle]

Laugh at him as you will--thay guy makes something like 9 million dollars a year doing that crap.

It works for him.:rolleyes:

That is true, and I'm sure that cocksucker sleeps very well with his bank statement under his pillow laughing himself to sleep.

The fact that it does work for him is the part that blows my mind, or that its possible for anyone to make millions being an idiotic jackass on a NEWS station.

I think TV evangalists selling holy water have more integrity than this dickhead.

[Bud Struggle]

99.999% of the people that have personality disorders find them to be a disadvantage in life--but every now and then someone like Beck come along and makes a fortune from theirs. I listen to him on his daily radio show on occasion and it's pretty interesting (for a couple of seconds.) There is really no intellectual content to the show it's just pure (cathartic?) emotion continually being expressed.

He's unhappy with the way America is going--and he wants to bring back the "good old days"--and that's just it, nothing more.

I think he ties into people's frustration with the America government, they seem to be the bad guys, the corrupt self serving politicians. Beck favors small government, self reliance, the Founding Fathers, an occasional conspiracy theory thrown in for good measure--but all served up on a raw emotional stage. You'd think it was pretty transparent stuff--but lots and lots of people buy into his rants.

Not only does he have his radio and TV stuff that he does--he also had (has) a pretty popular book on the market and he does a traveling rock venuesque road show that will come to a town near you.

He touches something in people.

[rednordman]

Well at least he has a good solid moral grounding and an understanding of what's important in life, shame about the mormonism.:lol:. Imo, the clip is really really weird. He comes across almost like he is taking the piss...out of the christian rightwing that he is supposed to represent. He says 'when will you become the person you where after 9-11?' Its like hes saying that we all became hard-right christian patriots because we were shocked on 9/11. ffs.+ Chuck Norris is like the last person i would have expected to be a big republican, he has far too much interest and respect for other cultures.

:lol: Wow. Just. Wow. Also I'm loving how they not and make agreement noises when a fucking former mobster declares they want less government intervention in their lives.

[IcarusAngel]

That's the kind of "less government" these kind of people - be they slave owners, mobsters, or capitalists - tend to favor: less government regulation of the exploiting class to exploit the masses.

"Freedom" in capitalism means "freedom to exploit (even more)" for the capitalists and "freedom to choose different types of apples at the grocery store" for the workers.
