Beck: Obama should turn down the Nobel and give it ‘to the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project.’

Sorry for being slow on this as the first I heard this was on the Colbert Report just now.

My reaction? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Here's an article I found.
Engaging in a bit of explicit blog-baiting on his radio show today, Glenn Beck declared the naming of President Obama as this year’s Nobel Peace Prize recipient “the last nail in the coffin” for the credibility of the Nobel committee. Beck conspiratorially claimed that the award revealed that “these progressives are extraordinarily powerful and this campaign of Barack Obama, this global campaign for Barack Obama is done by global interests that have extraordinary power. They’re very well-connected.” Beck said that the prize should have instead been given “to the Tea Party goers” who have protested Obama:

BECK: Of all things, the Nobel Peace Prize should be turned down by Barack Obama and given — you ready for this, oh this one’s going to make headlines — should be give to the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project. … Because of the arrogance of the progressives that thought no one would stand in their way. That he would be able to accomplish everything. Two weeks into his presidency, they nominated him for it and said, “oh this is going to be a slam dunk.” Because of the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project people that stood in his way and stopped him from accomplishing the things that he thought, “please, I’m the Messiah, I’ll be able to accomplish that.”

1. That is one of the funniest and dumbest things ever said by Beck or

anyone else.

2. I agree

Which is why I felt the need to share this even though it may be a couple of days old. I was literally LOL when I first heard this on the Colbert Report.

4. A guy I work with worships Beck

We're truckers and I've had to ride with him a few times. He seems like a normal human being until he gets all fired up listening to Beck. He thinks Beck is the only person in the media telling the truth right now. He thinks Beck is not aligned with the Republicans, but is a Libertarian set on returning America to its roots (Helloooo, Fox Fucking News?!). He's bought Beck's books on CD and listens to them all night at work. The guy has pretty much allowed Beck to make him a paranoid tin foil hatter. He agrees with Beck on everything and thinks that it's just a case of Beck and him coming to the same conclusions from seeking the truth, not him allowing everything Beck says to become a part of his beliefs uncontested. I'm thinking he's a typical Beck fan. He's beyond help.

5. The words "slam dunk" and "teabaggers" should never be used together in the same sentence.
