Can't help but just laugh. The fucker had it coming to him! One's gotta love karma, even if it doesn't exist.

Best case scenario, he won't be able to read the teleprompter within a few months, and his show ends up getting the axe.

[Comrade Wolfie's Very Nearly Banned Adventures]

Good.

[Cyberwave]

How suspiciously fitting for him... Did he drink a strange mix of blindness inducing Kool-Aid?

[Tatarin]

Hold your tongues. Glen Beck says he may go blind.

Maybe it's just about the right time to try those robotic eyes the military has been working on for some time...

[Nolan]

So...if his show is scrapped what talking head will replace him?

[bleh]

I hope he starts doing his show with the cane and the sunglasses on.

[Terminator X]

Most of what he spews is verbal masturbation, so going blind is only fitting.

Wonder if he'll get hairy palms too?

[RadioRaheem84]

He still managed to take a swipe out of Obama's fake healthcare plan. The guy is too much!:laugh:

[The Something]

Karma is a *****.

[Chimurenga.]

Best case scenario, he won't be able to read the teleprompter within a few months, and his show ends up getting the axe.

...Or he loses his footing and falls down a flight of stairs. Either scenario would benefit humanity.

Thread trashed for jinxing it

[Chambered Word]

I was having a less-than-awesome day until I read this. Thanks OP.


Before making the announcement, the vocal opponent to Pres. Obama's health care reform set up his story saying "I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find." The reported crowd of 6,000 in Salt Lake City laughed and applauded in approval.

Hurf durf.

[Rousedruminations]

Awesome ! !

[Adi Shankara]

I hope he starts doing his show with the cane and the sunglasses on.


if he wears sunglasses, how would we see him crying out crocodile tears to show us what a "Good American Patriot" he is?

at least this is actually something he can cry about, lol

[Sasha]

its gods will....

[Adi Shankara]

its gods will....

if a personal god exists, he's probably in on the joke.

[danyboy27]

beck always been blind, figuratively, now he gonna be blind, litteraly.

at least what happen to him is consistent.

[chegitz guevara]

He could be lying and have a miraculous recovery thanks to God.

"Conservative commentator Glenn Beck says he has been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, a progressive eye disorder that could cause him to go blind."

According to http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/vitelliform-macular-dystrophy:

"Vitelliform macular dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss. This disorder affects the retina, the specialized light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. Specifically, vitelliform macular dystrophy disrupts cells in a small area near the center of the retina called the macula. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision, which is needed for detailed tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Vitelliform macular dystrophy causes a fatty yellow pigment (lipofuscin) to build up in cells underlying the macula. Over time, the abnormal accumulation of this substance can damage cells that are critical for clear central vision. As a result, people with this disorder often lose their central vision, and their eyesight may become blurry or distorted. Vitelliform macular dystrophy typically does not affect side (peripheral) vision or the ability to see at night.
Researchers have described two forms of vitelliform macular dystrophy with similar features. The early-onset form (known as Best disease) usually appears in childhood; the onset of symptoms and the severity of vision loss vary widely. The adult-onset form begins later, usually in mid-adulthood, and tends to cause vision loss that worsens slowly over time. The two forms of vitelliform macular dystrophy each have characteristic changes in the macula that can be detected during an eye examination."


I wouldn't get too excited. I have Best's disease (macular degeneration), myself, and It takes a long time for you to actually go blind, if at all. It runs in my family and to the best of my knowledge, no one has gone blind.

Good thing I only have it in my left eye.

:laugh::laugh:what is even more ironic is that its a progressive disease!

[Forward Union]

I'll drink to that

Progressives 1
Glenn Beck 0!

Does he actually read for a teleprompter? People can't actually write the stuff he says...

Alex Jones could!

[Ele'ill]

This will only strengthen his stance as the prominent turdslash for the wingnut-right.

He will keep his show and play victim every time he gets called out.

I don't really think he's a threat- I know some extremely anti-left conservatives and they can't stand him.






Realistically I hope he goes blind- drops off the air forever then regains his vision. I don't wish mal on anyone.

[Invincible Summer]

I don't wish mal on anyone.

Hippie!


really though, you have a point. THis may turn him into some sort of saint

[Rusty Shackleford]

a victim of progressivism. a martyr if you will.

he will probably end up doing a shit radio show at 11 am on thursdays.

[Nolan]

This. He also may make up some sob story of being medically inconvenienced by Obama's "socialism."

[genstrike]

So...if his show is scrapped what talking head will replace him?

Sarah Palin

[Nolan]

Sarah Palin

I really coudn't see Palin as a fiery, passionate, right-wing attack dog. No, I'm sure Beck or Limbaugh have some apprentice in order.
