I don't buy the comparison of the Arizona immigration law to Nazism, in the end, but that comparison makes a hell of a lot more sense than that absolute nonsense Beck was spewing about how Obama's talk of "empathy" was, somehow, a sign of encroaching Nazism.

Beck's arguments have as much intellectual weight as the homeless guy in the subway station ranting about the Jews.

The report, released by the congressman's office last Tuesday, claims Goldline "rips off consumers" by using "misleading and possibly illegal sales tactics." And the congressman believes that "conservative commentators" such as Beck use their shows to generate fear in order to aide the company that advertises on their shows

Glenn Beck smears Obama's 11-year-old daughter
May 28, 2010 11:13 am ET by Simon Maloy

Glenn Beck, who repeatedly and angrily tells his alleged persecutors to "leave the families alone," spent a good chunk of his radio program this morning mocking and attacking the intelligence of President Obama's 11-year-old daughter, Malia.

Obama remarked yesterday during his press conference that Malia asked him of the Gulf oil spill: "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?" Beck, taking off on this, mockingly affected Malia's voice, asking "Daddy" why he "hates black people so much." Then Beck attacked Malia's intelligence, saying: "That's the level of their education, that they're coming to -- they're coming to Daddy and saying, 'Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?' "

This routine continued for several minutes, as Beck and his co-hosts touched on a variety of topics and laughed the entire time, all of it at the expense of an 11-year-old girl.

So? It's a radioshow. He promotes himself to be more than just a form of shock jock, but that's what he is. Let him say what he will. Both sides do it.

Though, having not heard the actual clip and seeing that it came from media matters, nit makes me wonder if something is being spun.

There is absolutely no spinning on this one. Beck actually came out and apologized (http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/glenn-beck-apologizes-for-making-fun-of-barack-obamas-daughter-malia/19496426?icid=main|aim|dl1|link6|http%3A%2F%2Fwww. aolnews.com%2Fnation%2Farticle%2Fglenn-beck-apologizes-for-making-fun-of-barack-obamas-daughter-malia%2F19496426)for doing it, as it broke his own personal rule of not picking on children.

Beck's act is getting seriously annoying and stupid.

In the shows I've watched I haven't heard him say that people should be storing up on food, or burying gold. He's a big advocate for guns, but I haven't heard him say stock up on them. And ya know what, gold isn't a bad idea now considering how the dollar is getting weaker and weaker. Don't throw everything into it, but diversify a bit.

And yes, the self-promoting he does on the show annoys the hell out of me. It's one of the reasons I don't watch it much at all anymore.

And epo, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'm in no way ok with anyone going after children. Though it seemed different when it was Sara Palin's kids. Granted, they did put themselves out there.

Also, I really really really don't like Palin. Just brining it up because it kind of fit the topic in a way.

The right does the same. Only they are not comics, and not even close to being funny. Ok they have Dennis Miller but he stopped being funny not long after his tv show went away.

And keithy_19 the dollar is growing it's the uro that's dropping. Not only did Palin keep her kids in her speeches. Her kid had a kid out of wedlock. The very stuff they preach about. (family values).

1. Beck promotes gold on his show via "Goldline International". He actually had a flare-up (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_ts1022)because of his conflict of interest.

2. Gold is a horrible investment right now, as the price is above historical rates.

3. Beck also tells viewers about his "three pillars": God, Gold and Guns....and then advises to stock up on all three.

#1) Two days prior to this, he was on his own show ranting and raving about how children should be off limits.

#2) Are you trying to say that Media Matters faked the clip? It's taken directly from Beck's show.

#3) Considering Beck made a half assed apology after it was released, it most certainly was not spun.

[KnoxHarrington]

Beck seems to have these moments where he slips back into being the hack shock jock he's been all along.

The problem for Beck is that saying "Hey, I'm a rodeo clown, this is an act" doesn't work when you're doing shit like saying you're going to go to the Lincoln Memorial, on the same day MLK gave the "I have a dream" speech, saying that you will give a Plan to fix America.

You've gotta think that this inconsistency there, the fact that he moans about America losing its morality one moment, then turns into a shock jock the next, would turn off even the idiots who follow him. But if someones' stupid enough to watch his show or listen to his awful radio show, I guess normal rules of logic and rationality do not apply.

[The Jays]

The problem with Beck is he has no consistency to his act, but he wants everyone to follow where he's going. It has been obvious since his whole "the healthcare system in this country sucks/the healthcare system in this country rules" flip-flop. He like to put on the role as America's educator on his Fox show, as evidenced by the growing number of chalkboards he uses (and he doesn't even use them the right way, he tapes pictures of things to the chalkboard. Get a fucking bulletin board.), but the he has days like the other day, where he wants to be a shock jock and at the same time adhere to the conspiracy beliefs he promotes. This time, he not only attacked Obama's daughter, he also promoted the idea that Obama is trying to wait till the right moment to plug the oil well so that there's enough damage done that will be politically useful. Then he goes and apologizes, but starts off by saying "“In discussing how President Obama uses children to shield himself from criticism..." What a fucking douchebag.

And, with the gold shit, yeah, he doesn't come out and say "you guys better hoard your fucking gold." No, he reports these out of wack theories about how communism is now taking over the country, and how progressivism is a cancer destroying the country, then cuts to a commercial where he, the spokesman, brings up how in times like things, we need to have the security of gold, so buy these cheap piece of shit gold coins.

Everytime I hear about someone talking about what Glenn Beck brought up today, I am reminded that this country is still full of dumbasses, and that much more thankful we don't have direct democracy, or else we'd end up like Idiocracy.

[StanUpshaw]

To bring up another shock jock parallel...

Remember that scene in Private Parts where Pig Virus was talking to the ratings guy and he's explaining how the people who like him say they listen because they "want to hear what he'll say next," and that the people who hate him say they listen because they "want to hear what he'll say next."

I think this must be exactly what's happening with Beck, because you people who claim to hate him sure seem to have a keen grasp of what goes on on his show.

In the age of the internet, his craziness and stupidity is broken down into convenient clips as evidence of his retarded insane being.

[StanUpshaw]

What is your point that somehow paying attention to what he does and says somehow negates the fact that I view him as poisonous to this country?

My point is this: If we conceptualize Beck as a shock jock, which I think is reasonable, then it makes the busybodies who fret about the shit he says on his show equivalent to the busybodies who fretted about the shit Stern said on his show or 2 Live Crew said on their album.

[The Jays]

The difference is that Beck is trying to pass off everything he says as truth, and that our nation is going down the tubes, that we are on the path to global governance, that we needs to take up arms before the communists run our country... Beck is actually dangerous because, instead of playing with the rubes, like Stern, he's riling up the rubes and feeding them lies to get angry at our country.

[StanUpshaw]

I'm sure the parents groups wholeheartedly believed that dick jokes on the radio were going to cause irreparable harm to the nation's youth, too. Doesn't mean it was true.

[The Jays]

You're obviously stuck on your Beck=shock jock=ok thing, so, no point in trying to discuss with you.

[underdog]

I'm sure the parents groups wholeheartedly believed that dick jokes on the radio were going to cause irreparable harm to the nation's youth, too. Doesn't mean it was true.

Have to agree with this point a lot.

People everywhere say a lot of vile shit. Your feeling on it just depends on whether you find it vile or not.

[hanso]

I see no correlation there. Rush is more the shock jock. Where Beck conceptualizes.

[The Jays]

And he uses chalkboards. What shock jock needs a chalkboard?

The part I find interesting is these things are just details in the larger picture of apocalyptic calamity he has been painting for a long time now on his radio show.
He recently added some ominous sort of music at the beginning that plays into this theme.
He's like the guy walking around with a "The end is near" sign.
It's all about how everyone has to "get ready" for a Mad Max-type world of total anarchy.


Beck needs to cut out that pregnant pause shit, too........

I kind of agree with you. Which is why I don't watcht he show that much anymore. I usually catch the beginning and then go to Around the Horn. That leads into Pardon the Interuption which then leads into dinner.

As you can see, I have my days worked out.

The Daily Show catches Beck lying his ass off by claiming that Fox News was the only news outlet that aired the footage of the raid on an aid convoy that the Israeli army took.

Unfortunately, Glenn couldn't mention politics in his speech.

Right or wrong, I think the vast majority of these people really do hate him because he's liberal, not because he's black.The fact that he is black and that a not insignificant portion of the population thinks he's Muslim isn't doing him any favors, but do you really think a white man doing exactly what Obama is doing would be getting better treatment from Beck's audience?

They hate him because they're told to hate him. He's no more a liberal than Reagan was. The last President with liberal leanings was Nixon. Any liberals since then are little more than Reaganites who believe women have a right to choice.

Most of his haters are oddly blind to the fact that he's pretty much been Bush if Bush had a black dad. We're still fighting stupid wars, spending retardedly (apparently for free insurance, which isn't happening), and bailing out huge corps.

When you inherit someone else's mess it's hilarious how people then bitch about how you clean it up.

We're still fighting a war we can't afford. We still have troops in Iraq, albeit named differently. Its the same old shit, new guy. I'm not blaming Obama, I think he's a good guy who has good intentions. Unfortunately once you get to Washington he's no longer Barack Obama, he's a democrat. Democrats are no different than republicans, they're just carrying a different part of the pie.

In the same way I don't think bush was some evil guy. It just comes down to these men are forced to change to suit their party to a t when they are sworn in. If anything obama's administration should make the rubes in both parties should realize it's all horse hockey.

Why would they be forced to change AFTER they won? If you said before they won, that might make some sense, but not after they were in power.

I think the majority of people who are against Obama hate him because he is liberal. I think the people who go to these protests and assume he is a Muslim are either incredibly naive or incredibly racist.

just going by what I heard from people, it was a bit worse than when the Redskins played in DC. Of course there are less ambulatory people attending a Beck rally than a Redskins game and the weather was nicer, but there's no chance in hell there were more than 100,000 people there.

[CurseoftheBambi]

there was an official headcounter i forgot the website...but basically it was nothing more than 80,000-97,000 with a short margin of error...damn where is that site at..

you can go here for some of the above but with more hateful comments from Glenn Beck followers...cause they hate that nasty science stuff.

[Syd]

Yeah, the several hundred thousand stuff or even the hilariously wrong million person stuff is way off. DC isn't that big of a city and the infrastructure simply cannot handle that many people. A Capitals game or even a DC united game puts a strain on it and that is just 10-15k people at the most. Parking is pretty much non-existant and I doubt the Tea Party people would think about riding a Metro bus.

50-100k (toward the high end) is the fairest count, no matter what people say. Not that the numbers matter -- a non-insignificant number of people there were less than ambulatory and with that in mind, they're going to be working within the framework of the system to attempt to change it. All that leads them to are people like Scott Brown who will tell them what they want to hear before they go to DC and then do as they please. Populism always fails and this isn't the exception to the rule.

I wasn't criticizing them, it was a joke. Criticizing them is as moronic as being one of them. If you criticize, you are speaking either to those who are already with them, or those who are already opposed. One doesn't need to be convinced, the other can't be convinced. It's pointless.

Okay so now I might finally agree that Glen Beck is a loony.

If it comes out that he thinks he has morgellons then I am done.

The first story, especially with how it talks about small fibers, makes it seem like this is what it is.

[KnoxHarrington]

A nutbar who planned on killing workers at ACLU headquarters, and who was apprehended after a gun battle with police, says that his "mind was blown" by listening to Glenn Beck:

MEDIA MATTERS: When you talk about how conservative values have been lost in this country you were talking before about the liberal media. You were saying maybe Fox was the exception. You think Fox is worthwhile?

BYRON WILLIAMS: Well, I'm not gonna say anyone is worthwhile. But [unintelligible] I would've never started watching Fox if it wasn't for the fact that Beck was on there. And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed that blew my mind. I said, well, nobody does this.

Audio clip at this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/08/byron-williams-glenn-beck_n_756400.html

I mean, obviously, I don't believe that anything or anyone should be banned for the actions of a crazy. Psychos are going to take whatever they hear and twist it to fit their psychosis.

But I can't imagine the apocalyptic, crazed tenor of Beck's act isn't going to inspire violence at some point.

He goes full-Meryl-Streep whenever there is a medical thing with him. Right before he became huge he had this long rant about his "near death" experience at the hospital with tears and blabbering, it was fucking hilarious.

Glenn Beck is a Mormon. Mormons want to be seen as Christians. Are they Christians? Aren't they as different, if not more so, from the Christian sects as Judaism is.
They believe the Christian God was once a man, that there are many Gods, that you can become a God. They believe in Joseph Smith as a prophet. They believe in another text besides the Christian bible.
Is their wanting to be labeled as Christians just a PR stunt?

I agree with this completely. I can't even comprehend a lot of what Beck says. I watched his thing on Tides from Friday and it made absolutely no sense to me. He seemed to have some initial anger about them being an environmentalist organization that was working to distribute material to school children, then said he agreed with a lot of what they said, then said they were run by George Soros, then said they were destroying America. His leaps in logic are just too much, and I'd never have the point of view that "I believe in x, so everyone who believes y are morons", but I just can't imagine anyone with any intelligence buying into his rhetoric.

And I'm with you, I would not say that about people who listen to O'Reilly or Limbaugh.

On his radio show today, Beck wondered how many people in the country believe in evolution, and said he doesn't: "I don't think we came from monkeys. I think that's ridiculous. I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet."

"If I get to the other side and God's like, 'You know what, yep, you were a monkey once,' I'll be shocked, but I'll be cool with it," he said.

Beck seems to have had the problem similar to Dr Laura when she was on WABC. She was quite popular around the country, but never really caught on in NYC. (I'd like to think we were smarter and that's why, but i doubt it) I don't exactly remember the time frame. Think she lasted on regular radio for 5 or 6 years after being booted from NY.

You're right in the past on most of that. Malzberg was a overnight/fill-in guy at WABC until he got a full-time gig on 710. Coast to Coast basically moved channels over night at basically the same time slot. WABC went pretty much 24 hrs straight political talk now, with their most unbiased guy at night, which Malzberg USED to be. I actually like the Doug McIntyre program (Red Eye Radio) bc it doesn't have such a conservative approach to every topic with his position already in stone on the day's events.

As for Savage, yah he really is a weird one and tough to listen to for any extended amount of time. Then again, I'd say this sums up pretty much any form of political talk radio as most hosts are full of themselves and talk down to their callers routinely.

Here's the thing about it: do I think Sarah Palin was intentionally arguing that someone should shoot these members of Congress? No, I don't.

But the rhetoric used here, and in a lot of her other political speech, introduces an element of violence into our political climate that's really frightening. It suggests that rather than politics being the exchange of ideas, it's a battle for our very survival. So it's not just that liberals are misguided and wrong in their beliefs, though fundamentally honorable; no, they are out to destroy the country, and must be fought. It's war.

Palin is either too stupid to realize the implications of her speech, or just doesn't give a shit and knows that it gets rubes riled up and makes her cash. The problem is, while for most Palin supporters it's something for them to enjoy getting pissed about while they watch Glenn Beck in their trailers, it makes the possibility of someone deciding to take all that rhetoric about "loading up" and "taking aim" seriously all that more likely.

So, ACORN wanted a hurricane to destroy N.O. so they could hide their corruption? WHAT?! That makes so little sense, seriously, I blame you conservatives. Can your leadership PLEASE distance themselves from this guy?

I think he meant they took advantage of the hurricane when the "perfect storm to hide the corruption that was already taking place at the time.

A lot people take advantage of places and times and circumstances quite often....just generally as humans and people.

She's not retreating, she's "Re-loading"!

Who knew the Cairo cheeseheads were supporters of Palin?

I like how he lists radicalists/islamists/communists/socialists as if they're colluding. It's like saying UNC/Duke/Red Sox/Yankees are colluding to make Jeff Gordon the best NASCAR driver. None of them have really anything in common and don't seek the same goals.

Is "Radicalist" even an actual word?

I just checked the Oxford Dictionary online: it's not in there.

Beck is the kind of dumb guy even dumber guys think is smart.

I would guess that he's trying to show that while they are not jockying for the same unifying goal, that collectively they bring about a goal.

Beck ratings drop (http://www.businessinsider.com/for-the-first-time-ever-glenn-beck-drops-to-fifth-place-at-fox-news-2011-2)

He still has a shit ton of viewers in comparison. That is scary...

They used to work together. Maybe he just watched Carlos.

I don't see why it's news when someone religious says they think God might have done something tragic, but not when they say God did something miraculous.

The God people are being logically consistent.

Because those same religious people never blame god for something bad. The only time they blame or say god did something bad is when it is done to people they dont like or dont care about. You never hear these same people say "God wanted Obama to win" because that negative against their views.

They are both ridiculous, God (if there is one and if you believe or dont) has nothing to do with any of this and if he/she did then god is a scumbag!
