Is CNN's Glen Beck the new Rush or O'Reilly?

[Taverner]

IN that, is he the next conservative blowhard asshat who is going to stir up hate and anger among the white males of the US?

He acts as if he is a kinder, gentler O'Reilly - but he's as conservative, and just as racist and homophobic.

Right now he's doing a "story" on "porn addiction." Clearly meant to push buttons.

1. Beck and his Rapture Watch ...

:puke: Where the hell did CNN find that moron ?!?! :spank:

[Taverner]

4. Oh does that wacko do a rapture watch??

I thought Mormons didn't believe in the Rapture (I worked with a Mormon Ph.D who said most Mormons believe in a Steady-State universe...)

[hippiechick]

5. Yep, he's as much a nutbag as O'Really and Limpballs ...

:puke:

[Teaser]

2. not popular enough

Beck is popular, but he's at his peak now, and its nowhere near Limbaugh's peak.

That kind of radio is on its way out.

[truebrit71]

3. Nope. He's just another right-wing dildo.

No, strike that, a dildo serves a useful purpose....

Just another loud-mouth right-wing waste of skin...

6. I live with someone who likes this guy...

My roomate is a fan. I actually overheard him laughing and muttering "Fuck Muslims" while watching his program.

[yurbud]

8. you should figure out a way to fuck with him. Send a letter to Beck

saying you are worried because your roommate converted to Islam and now admires bin Laden, and ask Beck what to do. Make sure to give him the guy's name.

[Taverner]

9. Reminds me of a fight I almost got into at the gym

Was doing the stairclimber and some asshat was watching Faux on the monitors. He said something like "Fuck those Muslims.." and I replied back "Fuck ALL religions buddy. Fuck em all"

The guy went real red and was stumbling over his words, but all he could eek out was "You don't love Jesus??"

"Nope, I think all religious people are fucking insane."

He finished his cardio earlier and walked away. My guess is he would have scrapped with me if we were outside.

[yurbud]

7. he reminds me of the bully's sidekick. He says the same shit as the

bully, but coming from him, instead of inspiring fear or anger, you just want to slap, ignore, or laugh at him, like the idiot in your office who tells you to do something you were going to do anyway.

Take away the mean of Rush and O'Reilly, and all that's left is pathetic asshat. (someone bette make a photoshop of an ass hat).

[VOX]

19. You nailed his type, yurbud. In a nutshell, at that. n/t

[yurbud]

20. the guy you slap on the back of the head when the bully aint around

and give wedgies to.

[Pab Sungenis]

10. I'm surprised anyone pays attention to him any more

...after he gave a Rapture and no one came.

[Taverner]

13. Ooooh do tell - did he predict the rapture?

Was it over the Israel/Hizbollah scrum?

[Pab Sungenis]

16. I believe so. It was back in August.

I made fun of it in "The New Adventures of Queen Victoria" at the time.

[madmusic]

11. Moral panic to take control of the Internets...

Gotta stop that porn!

[sharp_stick]

12. $20 says his porn addiction special

is just a ruse to get Jenna Jamesons number. He seems to think he's funny but good God I've never seen a show as boring as anything he's ever put on.

He no longer gets to do his morning lead in on Headline news, I hear it's because their morning crew can't stand the prick and refused to go along with it anymore.

[Cosmocat]

15. He is horrible ...

I do the car accident thing with Faux, peeking in to see what those freaks are propogandizing about from time to time ... I have made a VERY strict rule to not watch Beck ... I stick to it, I might have accidently popped over a couple times, but other than that ... He is a pig, and he is mental ... Making him a prototypical RWFer, but nothing new by any means ...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Compared To Glen Beck O'Reilly And Rushbo Are Philosopher Kings...

eom

[zbdent]

17. On the "porn addiction" -

his own personal life story, I suppose?

[LTR]

18. Beck's a nobody, and his career is falling relatively fast

His radio show has been losing affiliates, even Clear Channel ones (CC syndicates Beck's radio show). And his Headline News ratings aren't all that hot either (no matter how often they rerun his old shows).

Beck is swirling down the porcelain bowl of obscurity.

[Pathwalker]

21. Maybe the new Michelle Malkin.
