Beck's rant is bizarre as he uses various voices and odd facial expressions to emphasize his points.
I hope someone does an intervention soon and gets that man some help!

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha!

1. Glenn Beck--What a crockpot! That was a funny song and he ruined it.
They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha!

16. Here's a Beck video with that song as the soundtrack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrsg1_XHOlw

It really fits, esp. the part where he starts ranting about how he thinks they're surrounded, but THEY actually surround US, and...whatever the hell it is he's babbling about.

2. I get it, that piece of shit is supposed to be the wrong wing answer to Olbermann!
Naturally, he's like a Bizarro World "replica" of Olbermann. An Unfunny, ugly, boring asshole.

15. He's the anti-Olbermann, all right --
The opposite of Keith in every way:

Beck is NOT eloquent
Beck is NOT witty
Beck is NOT compassionate
Beck is NOT sane

3. they are only 180 days in and they've got 3 1/2 years to go - these poor nutcases better relax

pace yourselves - every time you say the world is coming to an end and it doesn't, you lose just a little more credibility - and you had so little to start with

4. I could only take a couple minutes, that was painful to watch
I think Glenn Beck has officially become the most annoying talking head on television.

5. Icky. Even if he had a real point to make
he'd destroy his credibility by appealing to the kindergarteners among his viewing audience, and no-one else. It doesn't matter where a body stand politically: s/he ought to be able to present an opinion without resorting to the Pirate's "Arrrrrrrrrrghhh!" Seriously.

10. Over seven minutes to say NOTHING.
I don't watch his show, so perhaps I am just sensitive to the bs. Really, who believes a word this guy says?

13. He does seem intoxicated
and oddly effeminate, with his obnoxious mocking behavior. I hate the smarmy attitude.How can someone with that much malice consider himself a good Mormon?

14. My may well be mentally ill, but he's also an asshole.
I knew a guy once who when diagnosed with a mental illness proclaimed that he had a free pass to be a total asshole. I always thought that such a proclamation was in and of itself evidence that he had sufficient self awareness that we might expect him to behave himself. Alas, as House says, two symptoms are not always of the same illness.

17. What we often forget is...
Edited on Tue Jul-21-09 01:16 AM by snake in the grass
...that, although Beck is clearly a disturbed individual, he is also the hottest item among the Fox viewers and Conservadrones since rubber dog shit. This fact sadly reflects just how incredibly regressive and juvenile many of our fellow citizens have become. Aside from the inbred, there are some out there who actually have a brain that is physiologically in order, but they have been poisoned for years on end by the likes of Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Ingraham, Coulter, Malkin (cute but pathological), Dobbs, Dr. Laura, and now Beck. Decades have passed, education has been cut and demonized. We saw it clearly in the above video as Beck mocked the educated and revealed his own underlying sense of inferiority by stressing that he has no college education. (Yeah, Beck, we know. And look at yourself now.) These talking heads are not the problem. They are a symptom or a much larger pathology that has taken hold of our country. It starts with the veneration of the mediocre, and ends with the injection of jingoism and religiosity; a very deadly mix. Our media doesn't do its job. Our representatives don't do theirs, with the exception of a very few. It is really up to us. We are alone.

I hope one day soon, Beck finally puts us out of our misery....and his Glock in his mouth.


These poor Americans!

Sure there are good rich folks but everyones got to pay the bills for scoiety. Besides in the case of swine flu a functioning healthcare system benefits rich as well as poor with more people healthy and robust against any flu.

Why ruin a lovely morning with the likes of Glenn Beck? I get the idea of it from the comments.

23. And Beck wonders why people want to "censor" him...
No, we just want you to STFU, you loony dipshit.

Beck fits George Carlin's trifecta for total idiocy (a la Dan Quayle):

1. Full of shit. :eyes:
2. Stupid. :dunce:
3. FUCKING NUTS! :crazy:

25. I suspect that part of his problem is that Beck sees himself as a Robin Williams-like comic ...
... fast-paced and multi-voiced. Unfortnately, his base isn't interested in his "talent" - which is pathetic - only in his anti-Government ranting.

Hopefully, they'll eventually be as tired of him as everyone else is ...

29. Glen Goes Over Big on "Fox News - The Voice of Treason"
Glen Beck is very popular on "Tokyo Rose's Fox News Network, The Voice of Treason".

Lies are rewarded there. He has been caught in too many for any reputable network to have any association with him--but lies are no problem for Fox News.
