Need something succinct re: Glenn Beck

[Eurobabe]

to post on another ex-pat forum that I belong to -- I never watch Beck, never seen him. There is a youtube video of him bloviating about Obama in Berlin, has anyone seen it?

Can someone give me a few choice words to refute this Beck idiot?

Here's the video, and don't shoot me - I am trying to gather intelligent info to repudiate this Beck-moron on a list that is filled with Faux/CNN-watching douchebags, because that's about all we get on satellite TV over here! TIA.

1. Well, there's a nice entry in the Dickipedia...

... that includes a reference to his botched hemorroid surgery, good place to start:

;-)

OMG 48!!!!! WIE WAR ES???? Did you post a report anywhere?

Edit: Media Matters has some good stuff, it's all nice and tidy here.

If you're trying to show that he's a factually challenged asshat, here's a nice, rather recent gaffe: ONE HUNDRED MILLION BARRELS A DAY, BEOTCHES!

Beck inflated estimated ANWR Oil Production by nearly 7,000 percent

8. Yes, on DKos here!!

It was awesome, the feeling in the air was amazing. Europe is very ready to see America get rid of the Asshat!

Edit: VJ, Thanks for the link to Dickipedia, I think that about sums it up. LOL, I just posted it on the Ex-Pat list. Let the games begin!!

11. Great Kos Diary!!

"Me!" Love it. ;-)

It's so wonderful that someone I know went to the historic Obama Berlin speech! One for the ages. The words, the photos, the crowds, pencil-snapping green-eyed jealousy from the McCain campaign you all caused... priceless!!!!

Let us know how the Reindeer Games are going on your Ex-Pat list! We're always happy to help. }(

2. There was a youtube of him rambling about his hemoroid surgery..."I almost died!"

I think he was maybe on Darvocet or something.

3. he's an idiot who is completely devoid of serious thought but keeps saying "I am a thinker"

which is very much like the charachter "Otto" in "A Fish Called Wanda" who thinks he is a philospher because he knows their names.

Extra credit for spot-on film reference. :thumbsup:

4. Ask him to sing...

"Slut In Misquamicut" or "You Don't Belong in a Thong"

Vinnie Penn has been a fixture on Connecticut radio for years. He is known for his morning show on KC101 (which began in 1997, alongside CNN's Glenn Beck) and for his guest shots with Howard Stern (Penn made broadcasting history by being on with Stern on September 11). Nowadays Vinnie can be heard on Sirius Satellite's all-comedy Raw Dog channel. He is a recurring guest on "The Wiseguy Show", which features castmates from "The Sopranos", and is regularly featured on "Getting Late". And, yes, he can still be heard on Howard from time to time.

5. I once got many recs for stating that I wished the fleas of a thousand camels to infest his crotch

I don't know if that helps your cause but I'm pretty proud of the accomplishment. At any rate, anyone who takes Glenn Beck seriously probably isn't worth wasting your time on. Backwash.

10. Well, I just wanted to drop a hand grenade and leave the room

I successfully did that with the Dickipedia link.

6. My response to Glenn Beck is simple

It's the "off" switch on my remote when watching TV.

It is the "delete" button when I get an email from a "friend".

Both of which I use to save myself a very precious resource..... "my time".




:hi:

9. Honestly I've never even heard him. Jen's link to Dickipedia

was just what I needed. Let the games begin on the other board. :rofl:

13. He is duel diagnosis ...

Seriously ...

Reportedly in recovery from addition, and if he has not out in the open with it, IMO bi-polar ...

One of those personality traits that a lot of these conservative propogandists have is being able to act indignant, and that is his stock in trade ... Plus, this superficial, childishness that also resonates with "low information" types ....

I will say this, I watch a couple minutes a week just do know what a lot of the lugheads will be onto that I interact with who think the guy is a honest broker ... He has been integrating some "left" type of issues into his crape ... I think he has the basic knowledge to see his ratings and know he is on borrowed time on CNN, and is working on a way to moderate his platform enough to try to fool people into thinking he isn't just another conservative whore ...
