But he waited until today to do so.



A Week Late, Glenn Beck Bravely Calls For The US To Have Boycotted The Sochi Olympics

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 3/3/2014 3:41 pm

A week after the completion of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Glenn Beck is now bravely declaring that the United States ought to have boycotted the games. These games had been in the works for seven years and were the focus of national coverage for several weeks leading up to and during the actual games, and never once did Beck, as far as we can recall, ever call for a US boycott of the Winter Olympics.

1. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

Armchair quarterback comes to mind.

5. Reminds me more of a WW2 poem I read...

The Man Behind the Armor Plated Desk

Early in the morning
When the engines start to roar
You can see the old goat standing
Beside his office door
He'll be sweating out the takeoff
As he's often done before
The man behind the armor plated desk.

You can see him at the briefing
Speaking up from the rear,
"The runway's socked in solid
But the target may be clear.
You've been here for twenty months, boys
But you have another year"
Says the man behind the armor-plated desk.

Four times he's led us up there
And he always led us back
For he circled o'er the l.P.
As we went in to attack
He said. "I'm hard yet fair, boys,
But allergic to ack ack.''
The man behind the armor plated desk.

And when the target's sighted
Who inspires our attack?
Who says, "Hundreds may go in, lads
But a few ain't coming back."
Who says, "We'll disregard the minimum
When you suppress the flak."
The man behind the armor plated desk.

And when the mission's over
And debriefing they should be
You can search the whole field over
But not a pilot you will see
For they'll all be at the "O" club
With a mixed drink in their hand
Singing, "The man behind the armor plated desk"

2. Beck is crying out for attention

This is sad even for Beck

[shenmue]

12. Yeah - people only pay attention to him because he is nuts

3. The Special Olympics are coming up, he can boycott them, next week I believe and in Sochi!

8. You are thinking of the Paralympics the special Olympics are for mentally challenge individuals

my wife has worked with physically and mentally challenged individuals she has corrected me on the two events.

[sabrina 1]

9. Thanks for the correction, you are correct. n/t

[diabeticman]

10. Your welcome. I didn't want to do it rudely and normally I would PM but a lot of people make this

mistake. It is the wife's pet peeve and I thought it would help others.

[sabrina 1]

11. No problem, you weren't rude at all! n/t

4. Hey, Glenn, the ParaOlympics start this Friday. Boycott? Or you'll wait til they're over to decide?

Glenn agrees with 99% of Putin's policies but can't pass up a chance to bash Obama. He hopes Vladimir understands the "big picture" that weakening Obama is worth the occasional shot at a friend.

6. I'm not surprised. Conservatives dwell in the past. nt

7. This is the only ONLY time I will attempt to give Beck the benefit of the doubt but maybe he

miss-spoke.


The paralympics are coming up which are the worlds greatest physically challenge athletes compete.
