Glenn Beck calls survivors "scumbags," said he "hates" 9-11 families

[Imagevision]

Nationally syndicated Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck referred to survivors of Hurricane Katrina who remained in New Orleans as "scumbags."

Also, after acknowledging that nobody "in their right mind is going to say this out loud," Beck attacked victims of the disaster in general and the families of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying: "I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims."

(Right Wing Mentality) I'm sure this helped Bush's numbers, keep it up
Bush needs more of this sort of rubbish...!

[Canuckistanian]

1. He probably hates dead and wounded troops then

I guess in his world, anyone who suffers under Shrub's machinations are "Whiners".
They should just die and be quiet about it.

[Spiffarino]

32. Only if they come back bitter and feeling betrayed

If they limp or wheelchair themselves home and continue praising the boy-king, he probably sends donuts and a greeting card.

[frictionlessO]

2. A freepers god if they ever had one.

I can't say anymore without getting arrested.

7. Fuck him.

I'm not even going to acknowledge his existence on this planet. He's shit on the heel of my shoe. He craves the attention, it's his drug. You don't honestly think he'll give a crap or change in any way, do you? Ignore him.

[lectrobyte]

9. any attention you give these clowns is like oxygen to them, I'd

suggest ignoring them.

[buff2]

10. I'm not wasting my time with him.

When you deal with THEM,you are dealing with the devil.I'll bet he's one that pisses and whines about not being able to have the Ten Commandments setting everywhere and not having "prayers" in schools. Oh and we can't forget about saving the fetuses. But by God,KILL EVERYONE ELSE. Sick bastards.

[MsTryska]

14. Fuck Glenn.....

we'd be better off letting Glen's bosses know how we really feel, i think.

[MADem]

29. Why bother? The assholes are showing themselves to a nation that

is starting to think that thing in the Bible about 'whatsoever ye do to the least of thy brethren' might be something worth considering. The more a jerk like that spouts, the more they will push away from the meanass righties...because one day, they may need help, and obviously those guys will not help them.

All fire and brimstone has gotten them is more tragedy. Time to find a better way...

[buff2]

4. I think all these rightwingnuts need a good exorcism

They are possessed,no doubt about it.I'm grateful we don't have to see the green shit fly out of their mouths when they speak.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. What a jerk. How can this guy stay on the air with all this hate speech?

URGENT yet easy! Hold the government accountable for Katrina's aftermath

6. "Jerk"?? Wow, you're really polite!

That wasn't the word I was thinking of to describe this guy.

[MN ChimpH8R]

8. A 10-gallon enema should do nicely

there won't be anything left of the hateful asshat.

[blue sky at night]

11. Whoopdie Freakin Doo-Daa!

What else is not new? We all know this stuff before they say it, like always.

Hey Glenn,



"We Don't Care!" "We Don't CARE!" "We DON'T CARE!" "WE DON'T CARE!"

[noahmijo]

12. good just keep talking please keep talking

And furthermore I want this message widely syndicated: THE TRUE FACE OF REPUBLICANS

[dogday]

13. Oh and by the way he hates himself too

I mean a person would have to hate themselves to say this shit....

[defiant1]

15. What a jackass....

Freedom of speech is a double-sided sword.

*edited for spelling*

[bloom]

16. People like that should be given therapy - not radio shows

"His childhood would not be all hopes and dreams, however. In the same year he "debuted" on radio, his mother, an alcoholic, drowned herself in a bay near Tacoma. "

http://www.answers.com/topic/glenn-beck

Sounds like he has serious mental problems to me.

[mark11727]

47. Just saw the cover of his book...

Jeebus, there's a smackable mug if there ever was one.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. You know,

I'm thinking this is really all about ratings. In his twisted mind this will create controversy and interest. People will call his show, He'll generate HUGE nubmers, making his advertisers happey etc,etc,etc.
Otherwise, what's the point of his ravings? Who, except a shill for commerce like him, would take such a stance?

[BurtWorm]

18. I wonder if conservatives will notice what he said.

:eyes:

They noticed that I said I was "over 9/11," even though I said nothing disrespectful of 9/11 families. Maybe it's allright to call victims "scumbags" as long as you don't denigrate the State Religion of 9/11? :shrug:

[BurtWorm]

22. Holy shit!

Sure enough, they ARE defending him!

[Double T]

19. The right wing is going off the deep end......

how can we help push them over the edge?????

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Nevermind what he says,

One of their sponsors "Carrabas" doesn't care what kind of crap he says on the air.

[fudge stripe cookays]

44. Ever heard their commercials?

Those two sounds like the most idiotic, Bush-voting Yahoos on the planet. The impression I got, anyway.

FSC

[enlightenment]

21. "Nobody in their right mind . . ."

weelll, at least he got THAT right.

[Melynn]

23. Beck burned his brain cells out on booze and dope

He admits that he used to be a drunk and doper.

Just a Freeper nut job. I think the larger issue is why are right wing radio nuts a bunch of dope addicts? Something strange going on there.

[Dastard Stepchild]

24. "nobody in their right mind is going to say this out loud"

Precisely.
Because nobody in ther RIGHT mind would be thinking this about these people.

[applegrove]

25. Anyone who does not reflect all that white light & perfection back to

the Presidon't is a scumbag.

[mpendragon]

42. people like to have their beliefs reinforced not challenged

I agree with your post. Some of what he said was probably there to get attention but the rest was defending his world view by attacking the wounded.

When someone's deeply held beliefs are challenged then it can be uncomfortable or even painful to reevaluate the things you base your decisions and self image on. It is easier to just attack it or ignore it. Liberals do it to some degree too, everyone does, but we don't tend to be as bad as conservatives because we are generally considered to be more open minded.

This guy wants to think that the President is a great and capable leader that is making America a better place. The GOP and their media lackeys help with their excuses and diversions every time the President fails at something or succeeds in helping some friend of the administration at the expense of the American people. That is the only play they have left, screw the American people, shift the blame, and lie about it.

To some not so small degree the guy is a blowhard but down at his core he is holding up the strain of defending an ignorant, mean, corrupt, elitist, liar. That is hard to do with a president this bad. In this case he has to look at grieving families and victims of the president's poor leadership and attack them. This isn't for what they did but how they made him feel and all the mental gymnastics he had to do dismiss them and their message.

That doesn't mean I have any sympathy for him but I like an explanation as to why someone can say something so dumb and mean it.

[agincourt]

26. Methinks he's been slantdrilling,

oxygen on our planet for too fucking long.

[girl gone mad]

27. He's just saying what so many of them think..

He should come out and say he hates black people and poor people, too.

We know they all do, they are just too cowardly to admit it.

[ignatius 2]

28. My God,what's with all the idiotic comments coming from the right

recently? Did someone put truth serum in their kool-aid to make them say what they really think?


Nutcases imploding all around us.

[Spiffarino]

30. How much more proof does anybody need?

They're scum. They don't care about anybody but themselves and their fucking stupid right wing agenda.

Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann "Da Man" Coulter...all y'all can go and fuck yourselves. And I mean that very sincerely.

[are_we_united_yet]

31. What a POS!

[libodem]

33. loves to hear himself talk

he's the scumbag, melonheaded whale, blowhard republican parrot, moran.

[LiberalinNC]

34. The only scumbag here is Glenn Beck!

[tanyev]

35. Nice, Glenn.

Will you hate yourself any more if you ever become the victim of a disaster? Why do these people think they are immune?

[More Than A Feeling]

36. Well, he must be better at hating than he imagined

Proud day for him and his family. :sarcasm:

[pokercat999]

37. This is typical Beck BS.

Funny he looks young enough to be in Iraq.......hmmmmm, can anyone say coward.

[Gnostic]

50. Typical rightie chickenhawk

He's of the same mold that Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Hannity are in. That includes our Moron in Chief too. None of them have any military or law enforcement backgrounds. They all avoided service during their respective generation's wars. O'Reilly and Limbaugh avoided Nam, and Hannity and this jerk avoided GF1 (Gulf Farce 1).

It simply amazes me that such "cowards", as you call them, complete chickenhawks, can have such a following and listening audience that actually takes anything they say regarding "service" for this country seriously. They did'nt have the balls to do it themselves, but expect everyone else not to follow in their own foot-steps. Simply amazing.

[LTR]

38. Beck is an opportunist

He's just some lame-ass morning zoo moron who's trying to carve a niche for himself as the 'funny Rush'. Only thing is, he forgot the humor.

Calls himself a libertarian, because that's what conservojocks call themselves when they want to seem 'hip' (hello, Neal Boortz!). Only thing is, most libertarians can't stand these clowns.

All Beck is doing is reading the GOP talking points and hitting freeper hot buttons. Sincere, he isn't. A shallow bullshit artist and no-talent, he indeed is.

[hobbit709]

43. He fancies himself as a wit

He's half right.

[American in Asia]

59. rofl...

very clever.

[Gnostic]

51. If the shoe fits...

"Calls himself a libertarian, because that's what conservojocks call themselves"

You mean like O'Reilly calling himself an "independant"? LOL

[NorVegan]

39. "And I had such compassion for them"

Bullshit! This guy isn't capable of compassion.

[rasputin1952]

40. Beck is a vitriolic asshole that spouts off stuff as if he were sitting in

bar w/ 20 drinks under his belt. He is an arrogant jerk that never learned that the act of stating that he is a recovering alcoholic doesn't excuse him from making stupid asinine statements. His whole persona is the 'Recovering Alcoholic, so I know it all', crap. There are tons of these people that run around figuring that since the beat an addiction, they can tell everyone else how to live because they are somehow morally superior. This is a complete crock of shit. Drunk or sober, stoned or straight; if you're an asshole, your an asshole.

I would suppose that Beck has no friends, and probably suffered the bad end of a few bar fights. I've known people like this, and generally speaking...they spout off until someone has enough, and then proceeds to pound the crap out of the offending jerk. He lacks sympathy and therefore will not receive any from me, or most of the people in the nation. He is just another RW shill that spouts off how 'noble' he is, after being an individual that abused not only substances, but his family as well...(this is a self assertion by Beck btw).

He is so filled w/hate for himself, he cannot see the good in others, as it makes him actually see how inadequate he really is.

[Gnostic]

53. Not all of it

"I would suppose that Beck has no friends, and probably suffered the bad end of a few bar fights."

And also, just like Rushie, he has a failed marriage under his belt.

So, now we have a divorced recovering alcoholic, with no service record such as military. And he's supposed to be somehow morally superior and enlightened over the average Joe out there?

I need to install a toiler closer to the computer room so that when I read this crap I have an immediate place to throw up in.

[PurpleChez]

41. Must've been freebasing oxycontin with pig boy

snort! snort! soo-eee!

[FreedomAngel82]

45. Really

And Bush is a 9/11 pResident. :eyes: This guy is a disgusting pig.

[pointblank]

46. Beck is underrated in the 'far right asshole talking head' category

Don't pay attention to this assclown.

this is the same moron who said one day in talking about his religion, which is mormon, that he didn't have a religion so he "shooped" around for one and he came up with mormonism as the best fit for him...that should show his intelligence level right there. A religion that claims that Jaysus was resurected in modern day Utah.


The Young Turks covered this comment yesterday on their show and some idiot freeper calle din to claim that he wasn't being at all racists in his comment...they put they smack down on the caller, it was amusing.











Ladies quit reading here:


Gentlemen, I give you the young Turk's Jill Pike:






Drool away. :rofl:

[DemonFighterLives]

54. Well Go Ahead Jill

Sorry, I don't know the Young Turks. Where are they on?

[savemefromdumbya]

48. somebody could drop him by parachute in Iraq

and leave him there

[Goldensilence]

49. wow....

right wing is really showing their true colors now. I thought Jesus loved everyone....Assuming Jesus ever existed.....so not only is he a ignorant spineless twit. He also can't even follow his own religion.

[gauguin57]

52. Keith Olbermann named Beck his "Worst Person in the World" last nite

for these comments.

And when I think that, a few weeks ago, when he was signing books at our local Barnes & Noble, Glenn Beck and his entourage were RIGHT BEHIND MY CAR as I was pulling out of my parking place. One turn of my steering wheel and ...

[rasputin1952]

55. Beck has only one person lower than him on the radio......

Michael the Savage Wiener...not there is real pus bag...:puke:

[FVZA_Colonel]

56. If anyone could "top" Beck, it would be Savage

That "borders, language and culture" chant of his supporters always sends a chill down my spine when I hear it.

[Warren DeMontague]

57. Isn't that the guy who made on-air death threats to Michael Moore?

What a winner. :eyes:

[FVZA_Colonel]

58. Yes, he was, and here's Answer.com's section on that:

Beck can be controversial. In a May 2005 comedy bit involving what people would do for 50 million dollars, he asked the question, "Would you kill someone for that." He continued by sarcastically joking about killing film maker Michael Moore. Beck said he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?" (Glenn Beck Program May 17, 2005 broadcast)

(I love these last two sentences).

There was no intent to threaten Moore's life, however there was a palpable reaction in the press and left-wing websites that maintained that Moore's life was truly in danger and fed their theories that conservatives are unhinged. The bit provides an example of Beck's sarcastic humor, although some do not find joking about murdering someone to be funny.


Objective, ain't it?
