It looks like he is going to make his own channel according to the New York Times..

[Dimentio]

It was a matter of time.

Tea Party marginalization t-minus...

His own channels or be at the helm of his own shows without being the face in front.

Honestly, if it's the latter, I think he was less dangerous as a wannabe Streicher than with the ability to run multiple shows.

So if Beck is starting his own channel, won't that make him Fox's competitor? And therefore, won't it also set Fox against him? Sweet.

[Hexen]

I thought he got into the spirit of 9-12 and shot himself with a "American Made Glock".

Excellent! Excellent! ... I hear they have an opening available for a fool to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. They really need a useful idiot with all the credentials, training, experience that Glenn Beck can bring to that inestimable position.

Probably someone who is equally bat shit insane..

[Martin Blank]

Michelle Bachmann?

[Gorilla]

Contradiction between petty bourgeois reaction and big capitalist reaction.

[Agent Ducky]

Michelle Bachmann?

Now there's an idea. She's like the female version of Beck....

[RadioRaheem84]

One down......twenty more nutcases to go.....

Seriously, the worst of FOX is gone but that still leaves several right wing loons to cover his ass.

[Tablo]

Sorry to see his show ending. Looking forward to his channel though. :cool:

[Leonid Brozhnev]

Great, a channel where you can sit and watch Beck weep 24/7 onto a US flag whilst punching a cardboard cut-out of Obama in an SS uniform.

[RadioRaheem84]

The Freedom Channel....

Liberty Channel.....

Patriot Channel....

America, Fuck Yeah Channel


What would his channel be called?

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Even his most devout lunatic followers haven't been tuning in. Thank god. Shock-Value can only last for so long...

[IndependentCitizen]

Let's hope we witness a Charlie Sheen break down, Beck style.

[Omsk]

Who the hell is Glen Beck?
No,seriously i never even tried to watch his shows.
An American patriot on Fox News preaching against socialism and communism.

Why the hell would anyone want to watch something like that!?

Comrade, when you're depressed, you need something to cheer you up. This man is so stupid, it's delightful.

You haven't been to the American south. Be thankful for that.

And it isn't just preaching against socialism and communism, it's outright reactionary fallacies (i.e. nazism= a form of socialism, liberalism/progressivism being "code words" for socialism, characterizing socialism as some sort of neo-keynesian welfare state, ect.)

I wonder how many hours of his new show will be dedicated to crying because he "loves America!:crying:" :laugh:

Here's what you do (and you better take advantage of the opportunity. It won't exist much longer.):


Take one drink if Glenn mentions any of the following...

Marxist, Communist, Socialist, Radicals, Progressives, 9/11, Pelosi/Reid, FDR, Pearl Harbor, Bailout, Tea Party, Constitution, illegal immigration, crossroads, social justice, or if he addresses the audience as 'America'

Also drink one if he lets the audience ask a question, if there are any gold commercials during the break, and if he puts on or removes his glasses.

Take two drinks if Glenn...

Says 'government takeover', moves to his chalkboard, makes allusions to an idealized past, mentions the New Deal, says 'question with boldness,' quotes the Bible, criticizes MSNBC, or mentions the 4 Es

Take three drinks if GB...

Says 'Faith, Hope, and Charity,' Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, or Adams, Van Jones, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, ACORN, the 9/12 Project, the Tree of Liberty, or uses his douchey sarcastic voice

Take four drinks if GB...

Mentions Woodrow Wilson, Mao, Stalin, or Che Guevara

Finish your drink if...

Glenn cries, talks about his alcoholism, criticizes a Republican, says 'teabagger,' interviews Sarah Palin, or mentions a new health problem.

Someone who gets way more attention than he deserves.

Because... they're stupid borderline-fascist super-nationalists who are easily manipulated by stuff they see on television? (I mean his actual viewers)

I couldn't stand more than a few minutes at a time of his show... I had to prevent myself from destroying the TV. I guess some people have an interest in what the right wing is preaching and have a lot of patience and a calm dispositoin. I respect those people who can sit through that....

[Agent Ducky]

Come to think of it though, he is really entertaining if you remove yourself from the actual implications of what he's saying and how so many people actually believe the BS he spews constantly.

[bricolage]

This man is so stupid, it's delightful.
He's probably a lot smarter than people give him credit.

[RedStarOverChina]

I remember watching him on CNN for the first time and I couldn't decide whether he's serious or satirical.

[Agent Ducky]

Considering that he used to be a liberal.... Maybe he's just putting on a whole show just to make money? That's possible... ANd it's working really well.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Beck already has a small media empire. he has his own media corporation and is making deals with Faux to make more shows or something like that. his own program is being cancelled by the end of he year though.

he still has a relatively large online following and MANY connections to think tanks and right-wing groups.

[Lobotomy]

So close to the 2012 presidential election, though? I don't understand.

Thanks comrade. The next time I want to die of a brain haemorrhage, I'll give it a shot.

Glenn Beck isn't funny anymore. He knows he's lying through his fucking teeth. It's depressing.

When Russian Communists become alcoholics, it strengthens their bones. When American Conservatives become alcoholics, Glenn Beck happens.:laugh:

When the people are scared they'll listen to anyone that seems to have answers.

Glocks are made in Austria.

say what you want about john steward but this show must be among the best, well executed grave pissings in human history: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/thu-april-7-2011-jamie-oliver

[heftieleftie]

Finally. He has really poisoned the American political atmosphere for the last several years. I feel confident that his new channel will bomb, however.
