Glenn Beck..Is he just a big queen? He pings like a Chinese gong.

[Neshanic]

Yes, watching him cavort on CNN now, and he is quite the drama queen. What's the line on this creep?

[Junkdrawer]

1. With Limbaugh becoming a bigger joke each day, a replacement was needed...

Enter Gary Beck....

[progdonkey]

2. yes, but the question was about GLENN! :-) n/t

[Junkdrawer]

3. My bad. Enter GLENN Beck... n/t

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

4. recovering drug addict, washed up, never-was rock DJ

turned rightwing talkign head, just like all the rest

[redirish28]

5. I know a little about him...

he claims to be independednt, yet supports conservatives and attacks liberals. He's an idiot who said unkind things about cindy sheehan and hugo chavez, um he needs to call it quits and step away from his job, even though there is no way in hell that will happen. By the way, is he a recovering drug addict?

[patricia92243]

6. Male version of Ann Coulter - hate filled nut.

[durrrty libby]

7. He didn't come across anywhere near as bad as

Coultereist.

I've seen his show, or part of it, a few times,and he seems more lame than

hate filled

[patricia92243]

12. I used to work at a talk radio station. He was a raving nut. I have not

watched him on TV. Maybe he is taming it down a little, but it won't last - the real Beck will rear his mean head.

[AspenRose]

17. He toned it down for TV

His radio show was simply HATEFUL.

He called for Michael Moore's death.

[Poiuyt]

19. He not only called for Moore's death, he wanted to murder him himself

He talked about feeling his fingers around Moore's throat and looking him in the eyes, and then asking, "Is that wrong?"

[progdonkey]

8. only MORE juvenile...

When the guy who wrote Fast Food Nation was on his show to plug his kid's version of the same book, Beck spent the "interview" eating a huge hamburger, as if that somehow was making fun of the author. It just showed that he's even stupider than you could ever imagine, since the whole point of the book is that fast food is unhealthy, not that it's immoral or because the author's a vegan, or something. I mean, Beck may as well have had someone on who wrote a book about the dangers of antifreeze and conducted the interview while chugging some Prestone down.

Not to mention on his very first episode, he kept telling the (very beautiful) female new correspondent how hot she was and then said, "I'm not wearing any pants."

[symbolman]

13. Yeah, I watched him once

like a car wreck in slow motion, only a car wreck has credibility..

He's a hatefilled little pusbucket and about as cool as a Lawrence Welk concert ever was..

basically fits the republican bill of being a DORK, BORING, Self Absorbed, retarded socially, can't dance, wishes he were SOMEONE of merit, thinks he is..

He's a HUGE waste of bandwidth, and if he was a normal person he'd be off the air in 15 minutes, he is SO Incredibly Boring and predictable you feel psychic..

It kills me how Cool and Hep these assholes think they are, if they were a waiter they'd die of starvation having never recieved a tip for talking shit and telling stupid jokes while you wait for cold food..

He might make a decent WalMart greeter if he had prostate cancer, which would give people SOME reason to feel any sort of sympathy with or for him..

On the Dork O Meter he makes Don Knotts looks like Brad Pitt :)

[Gman]

14. Very good description!

[dsc]

9. Can't straight people take responsibility for anyone?

Every halfway evil person is all the sudden gay. Newsflash, most evil people are straight just like most people overall.

[Neshanic]

10. Hey, look at him prance around his set. Just sayin'.

[dsc]

15. I have never watched him

and don't intend to start in the future. My point is that nearly everytime we hear about some cretin on the radio or in politics we soon hear I wonder if (insert cretin's name) is gay. It get very old.

[Glorfindel]

16. Amen to that...I'm sick unto death of "gay" being used as an intensifier

of evil. Bush is gay, Rush is gay, Hitler was gay, Tony Blair is gay, et cetera ad nauseam. You'd think people on DU would be a bit more conscious of all the harm they can do with such ludicrous accusations.

[LeftCoast]

21. What do you have against gay people? Just askin'.

[LeftCoast]

18. Thank you!

You said exactly what I wanted to when I saw this truly offensive topic!

[Neshanic]

22. Offensive topic? I'm gay, and I'm saying he acts like a drama queen...

Jesus...lighten up.

[LeftCoast]

23. Being gay doesn't give you a license to bigotry

You are using queen (ie 'gay') as a smear. I'm not going to lighten up about it either.

[Neshanic]

27. So sorry, my "Guide To Gay PC Terminology" is last years edition.

So give it a rest. I am so sure that in your elightned gay crowd that no one, not one single soul, has uttered the word "queen" or "drama queen".

Odd gay universe you must live in, or very strict I must say.

[LeftCoast]

29. Well, clearly nothing I can do or say will stop you from continuing to

issue this bigoted statement, but I can call you on it when I see it.

[Neshanic]

32. Feel free, and when out with your gay friends, tell them that the.....

following words are taboo.

"queen"...or "Queen"
"Drama Queen"

Is that all of them? Please let me know, as on my next trip to West Hollywood I want to know when I am going to be on the recieving end of a Joan Crawford style face slap.

[LeftCoast]

35. Oh please, spare me the freedom of speech / anti-pc argument

We're talking about *you* using homosexuality as a slur and yet somehow *I* am the bad guy. Ha!

You still haven't explained what you think a 'queen' act's like. C'mon feel free to let us know what a stereotype is supposed to act like. I'm really interested in reading what you have to say.

[Neshanic]

37. Read post #34 Kurovski...he said it all.

[LeftCoast]

39. Oh please. 1st you're protecting free speech, now gay culture?

:rofl:

[Neshanic]

42. You seem to be protecting the lexicon of gay permitted words....

so, are you the arbiter of what is correct? Did you do a survey? Saying that someone acted like a queen is an insult, but calling someone a drag queen is not? How about "drama queen"? So you can say that a person loves drama, but adding that queen part is out of bounds?

[Kurovski]

25. "...pings like a Chinese gong"!

:rofl: Thanks for that!

I've never seen him, but that closeted/subliminal Michael Moore fantasy of his sounds pretty suspicious.

[dsc]

26. it is offensive

Why don't we see threads asking if Paul Welstone or Wes Clark are gay? Why don't we see threads asking if John Edwards or Russel Feingold are gay? Why no threads asking if Barbara Boxer or Cindy Sheehan are lesbians? I'll tell you why. Because those people are respected here and it would be considered insulting to say they were or are gay. And just think what message that sends to those of us who are gay. I can't phathom why you wouldn't figure that one out.

[Neshanic]

28. Because they are not acting like Glenn Beck did this evening? Try that.

[dsc]

30. Wellstone

while in high school dressed up in tight spandex and grabbed other young men in front of cheering crowds (he was a wrestler). I could come up with similar and yes innane justifications for all the people I named. It really does get old.

[LeftCoast]

31. What exactly do 'queens' act like?

[Neshanic]

33. Like you don't know....

[LeftCoast]

36. No, really. I'm curious. Why don't you tell me so I'll be able to spot one

What's a 'queen'? Hmm?

[Kurovski]

34. In a closeted, hypocritical world, queenspotting became a fine art,

elevated trash talk and all. About the only hypocrites left are in the right-wing world. Being gay is not quite the big deal for lefties and many dems. There would seem to be plenty more either fooling themselves or attempting to fool others in the repub party. some even work against us.

Besides, they hate the speculation even more than you would seem to.

Readin' the gay beads is a part of my culture cultivated over many decades. I'd be offended at your trouncing of my culture's history, but that's your prerogative, and I don't care so much about your attack.

Geez, I wish Wes Clark WAS gay.

[LeftCoast]

38. There is a difference between idle speculation as to a person's sexual

orientation and calling someone generally held in low regard on this forum a 'queen'. The OP doesn't really think Beck is gay, he's just slinging insults.

[Kurovski]

40. I'm not as sure of the OP's intentions as you. And you have expressed your

distaste for the speculation in general.

I'm sorry that you're offended, I sincerely am. You've expressed yourself, and I know that you're not alone in your feelings. Other gay folks in fact care not a whit for the tactic of speculative "puke-outing".

Thank you for seeking to uphold some sense of justice or protection from bigotry, but in this case I think we just disagree.

I appreciate your fine heart and good intentions, and I thank you! :-)

[Neshanic]

41. Actually, I think he is gay. After seeing hin for the first time tonight..

yes, I think that he has some things that he would rather not have people of his political persuasion know.

[Neshanic]

43. You better get over to the lounge. There's an insulting Gaydar thread.

Let them know that the word "queen" and "drama queen" are verboten!

[ClassWarrior]

11. He's a failed Top 40 "morning zoo" guy who discovered that...

...his personal hatreds can be profitable. And he's still not funny.

That's the truth.

NGU.

[Guaranteed]

24. I never even got the impression that he was SUPPOSED to be

funny. And I had to listen to the guy for a number of months every morning on the radio in the weeks immediately following the Iraq invasion.

[WCGreen]

20. Well, no one is watching......

He draws an audience about the size of Dayton Ohio....

Somewhere between 80k-140k people watch him any given night...

Think about that...

I believe I could get at least 85k-145k people to watch me...

Pathetic ....

No wonder YouTube is quickly becoming the place to be...

The cable news companies don't get it...

[maddezmom]

44. locking

Glenn Beck is an asshat, let's leave his sexuality out of it.
