1. God Bless California! Do it! You'll solve the budget crisis. Legalize it!

Glenn Beck is such a twit. Then again, so are 99% of his viewers.

[Baikonour]

2. What viewers?

Have you checked his ratings (or lack thereof) lately?

[kysrsoze]

4. In this case, 99% of viewers probably is 99 viewers

I laughed all the way through this video - he got his ass handed to him by a weed smoker, who nailed him to the wall on every point he brought up! He and his little 2nd-grader graphics tried to make fun of the guy, but instead got kicked in the teeth. As a result, he probably lost 2% of his viewers!

[Baikonour]

5. I'm not a violent guy, but

The way Beck treats the guests he disagrees with makes me want to climb into the set and choke his fat, ugly ass out.

What a monumental piece of shit he is.

[DUlover2909]

7. Don't slam on fat or ugly people, please.

Stupid and uninformed people are easy enough targets. Fat and ugly are subjective and irrelevant qualities in a political discussion. Michael Moore is, in my opinion and probably his opinion also, fat, old, and unattractive, but he's one of our capable allies in spite of his physical attributes.

[urgk]

10. I'll second that.

Paul Wellstone was no romance novel cover model, but I'd be hard-pressed to find a more decent human being. Let's leave the derisive Junior High talk out of the debate.

[Baikonour]

14. Sigh. More hypermorality.

[DUlover2909]

33. Yeah, I know. But I said please.

As an ugly overweight person, attacks on others that are overweight and ugly makes me feel unimportant and it serves as a reminder of how people judge me even though they may not express it to me personally. I will probably die sooner than most other people, with no children due to my disgusting appearance to others. My loneliness is enough of a bitter reminder of my alienation. I don't need any more reminders of it.

[gilpo]

22. word!

[tomm2thumbs]

3. (laughing) Beck looking very Jindalistic

no irony there

[Jack Rabbit]

6. So Beck says he has two brain cells

And I can say this is a rare moment indeed: I believe him.

[zbdent]

20. he's probably exaggerating ...

by at least 100 percent ...

[Jack Rabbit]

29. I'll give him credit for two brain cells

Beck's a little smarter than Bush, after all.

Do you think I'm naive?

[quidam56]

8. I am on a list of prescription meds for Fibromyalgia,

marijuana seems to do more to ease the pain than lortab. Hell yes, legalize it and tax it. But put limits on how that money is to be spent. Say it can only be used for law enforcement in high crime cities. Turn the pot prisoners loose and cut some prison budgets, it makes sense...

[Grinchie]

9. Glen Beck a Libertarian?

So is Libertarian the codeword to big dumb stupid fascist these days?

[stlsaxman]

15. Bingo.

(edited to remove exclamation point)

[Jack Rabbit]

28. Beck isn't even the original libertairian fascist

Neil Boortz has occupied that niche for years.

[bulloney]

11. Why anyone would want to be on Beck's show is beyond me.

Beck just mocks his guest with the impish graphics and his facial expressions.

His guest was giving some good statistics and facts on legalizing marijuana, but Mr. Reform Glenn Beck just sits and mocks him. That's a sign of maturity, Beck.

I do have to agree with Beck on one thing: He probably is down to two brain cells.

[Best_man23]

21. One brain cell is busy keeping him alive

The other is busy remembering the pictures of Billo's loofah girls.

FACT: Cigarettes kill 400,000 plus people a year. Available everywhere and taxed
FACT: Marijuana does not contribute to the myriad of diseases cigarettes have been proven to do and we spend BILLIONS in futility trying to keep it illegal.

The day Debtpublicans come to the realization that you CANNOT LEGISLATE MORALITY, will be the day they take the first step in the 12 step program to recovery.

[sasquatch]

12. Glenn!! Do us all a favor and get back on the sauce ASAP!

[90-percent]

13. Beck's schtick

Beck's entire belief system seems to be bereft of facts. He is running solely on his erroneous opinions. Why would someone so ill informed bring on a well informed guest, like this marijuana guy? Marijuana tears up the lungs? What? Huh?

I'll give him something for being a recovering everything and admitting it, but this is one of those guys Colbert likes to skewer: facts? don't need 'em. I got my gut to guide me instead.

-90% Jimmy

[stlsaxman]

16. I'll give him NOTHING for "being a recovering" anything and "admitting it"...

for one- he's not admitting anything- he's breaking anonymity to declare himself better than his guest.

secondly there is the Eleventh Tradition of AA which states:

11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need
always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.

Playing the "I'm in recovery" card on the public level damages AA in two ways- either the drunk who needs it will look at who is publicly professing and say- "If AA is full of assholes like him- it's not for me" or worse still the person in "public recovery" goes out and gets drunk again and those who need it say "See?!?! AA doesn't work!".

[AlbertCat]

27. I'll give him something for being a recovering everything and admitting it,

I don't believe him. I'll bet he passed out long before anyone else...like after 3 puffs and 2 drinks. The others all snickered and went down to the lake for nude swimming leaving Glenn there face down in the carpet.

[mwb970]

17. I made it through one minute. Can't take any more.

I'm sorry, I simply cannot waste my time listening to this jerk, no matter how satisfying his eventual putdown is described as being. His patronizing condescension and general mean-spiritedness, two traits that are universal among wingnuts, did me in. He is pathetic, and I don't need to watch him for 7 minutes to know that!

[faulknercindy]

18. Mr. Beck I have always doubted

that you have one brain cell much less 2.

[AlexDeLarge]

19. What exactly was the point of this segment?

Beck is simply clueless about any topic you, or he, can think of. He starts to go one way with it then changes direction then changes direction over and over again. I can't follow his logic. Is he advocating that marijuana should be legalized or against legalization? I think the two brain cells that he's got are fighting each other and leaving him incoherent.

And who is this America he keeps talking to? America Ferrera?

I'll give credit to CNN for dumping him. Unfortunately, Faux always seems to be around to pick up the looneys. I can only hope that Murdoch and NewsCorp stay on their course of steep decline.

[Turborama]

23. LOL, I've just noticed that simply looking at the embeded still photo tells you all you need to know

[veganlush]

24. I have a hard time watching beck...

...it's the uncomfortable feeling of embarrassment. I despise that flake, and everything about him, the silly faces, the fake self-deprecating and the inane comments all cause me to be embarrassed to be on the same Continent with him AND his viewers (both of them) AND everyone involved with putting him on the air. What makes this idiot think that his past experiences, (if any) really shed light on anything. If he did try anything in the past, so what? An idiot tried marijuana and now he's here in the present, lying about it like an idiot. He brings less than nothing to the debate. I wish everyone would call his sponsors and boycott.

[EnviroBat]

25. Will someone please tell this vapid fucktard what a complete

and epic failure he is? There was absolutely no substance in that interview with the exception of Beck, (the smarmy little prick) getting his ass completely handed to him by an intelligent man armed with facts and statistics. This would be the best idea to come out of California since it's inception. But Beck, (the "libertarian") can't be burdened with facts and statistics. Fox should turn that show over to one of their janitors. It would at least have a little more credibility. Anyone know where Beck lives by the way? I want to see him on the street and throw dog shit at him...

[AlbertCat]

26. What is Glenn smokin'????

I mean, he's completely ripped. The guy who smokes pot occasionally was calm, cool, collected, informed, courteous, believable....

Glenn was Jerry Lewis....Daffy Duck.....Woody Woodpecker....but not as intelligent.

His show is an unintended comedy riot. Except I get uncomfortable after a while watching clueless people think they're not a joke. It's embarrassing.

[Quantess]

30. Nearly unwatchable. I got through halfway. embarrassed for Beck.

Glenn Beck is a recovering alcoholic, so he really has no room to judge.

[RollWithIt]

31. Watch the last thirty seconds

Interesting conclusion. Beck was forced to agree.

[gulliver]

32. Wonder how Fox News viewers reacted to Beck saying...

...he had done about everything you can do. Kind of admire him for that. Not much else though, but it is all entertainment with him.

[pleah]

34. He gave himself to much credit with the two brain cells.

I have never watched beck before, now I know why. I won't do it again.

[KansDem]

35. Drugs *are* legal, Glenn...

Alcohol and nicotine.

So what's wrong with adding cannabis to the mix?
