1. Beck pertending to be an art history expert

That is not pretty.

[vduhr]

3. Becks rants are getting more and more insane...

My son and I, while watching this on Olbermann, just kept looking at each other and shaking our heads in disbelief. I later said that there is definately something wrong with Beck. His eyes don't look like a normal person when discussing things, and his body posture is way too animated and angry. I looked up the symptoms of Schozophrenia, and here's what I found:

"Positive" Symptoms of Schizophrenia
"Positive" symptoms are psychological disturbances "added" as a result of the disorder, and include:

Hallucinations—disturbed perceptions of reality, often described by family and friends as a wild imagination. The perceptions are sensory, and can involve sound, sight, touch and smell. Hearing voices is the most common type of hallucination among people with schizophrenia

Delusions—people with schizophrenia may believe that their opinions and beliefs are real when they are not. Paranoid-type delusions can surface as irrational beliefs of being cheated, harassed, or poisoned, or that people are "out to get them." Delusions of grandeur make them believe that they are famous or important. Some people with schizophrenia report bizarre delusions—that a neighbor is controlling their behavior with magnetic waves or that people on television are aiming special messages at them

Disorganized thinking—the impaired ability to think straight and connect thoughts into logical sequences. Concentration is difficult and people with schizophrenia are often easily distracted. This lack of logical thought process, called thought disorder, can make a conversation very difficult and result in social isolation
Agitation—often to an extreme degree

11. It's an act.

The people who beleive it? Not an act. Really that dumb.

[bjobotts]

26. Irregardless... he still comes across as an asshole whose time has come.

[kstewart33]

42. Irregardless? Irregardless? Why is it IRregardless? Oh my gosh, now I see....

As everyone knows, irregardless means the same thing as regardless.

SO, why do so many people use the word "irregardless"?

Because there are truthers and birthers and tea party goers who WANT US to SEE and USE the prefix IR!

Why??? Because IR stands for INTERNATIONAL RACIST! Which is what all of the 'true Americans' believe that Obama IS!

_____________

What a pile of doo-doo this nation is becoming.

[happygoluckytoyou]

44. IM SORRY... the word you are seeking is DISDEUN PSEUDOIRREGARDLESSLYNESS

[nolabear]

13. No, he's not schizophrenic. From the viewer's perspective

there's no way to tell what he is, diagnostically. But he sure seems not to care that what he says is dangerous and could very well lead to people harming one another.

(I do this for a living so am cautious about online speculation. Personally speaking, though, he makes my skin crawl).

[cutlassmama]

49. If your skin is crawling, and you do that for a living, that should tell you

something right there.

[47of74]

15. Or maybe he has Narcissistic personality disorder

A person with NPD has at least five of the following;

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (megalomania)
3. Believes they are "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, people (or institutions) who are also "special" or of high status
4. Requires excessive admiration
5. Has a sense of entitlement
6. Is interpersonally exploitative
7. Lacks empathy
8. Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

[olegramps]

34. What is really sad is his Republican viewers believe this crap.

[RoccoR5955]

2. Olbermann was priceless on this one.

Beck, on the other hand, was a doofus!

[snake in the grass]

28. This was better than anything I've seen on...

...The Daily Show in a long time, and I mean that as the highest of compliments. Keith had a great time with this brilliant piece.

[mwb970]

37. I'm really sorry that both Jon Stewart and Colbert are on three-week vacations!

I need to see their take on these continuing incidents of right-wing lunacy. I really don't see how much crazier the wingnuts can get, but I have a feeling we're about to find out.

[Historic NY]

40. Yeah why do they do that when we need them. All those missed opportunities.

[Toucano]

4. Beck really seems like a parody. n-t

[MUAD_DIB]

5. I can't watch Beck even when he is being ridiculed.

That fucker makes me want to vomit.

[L0oniX]

43. When you watch Glenn Beck you automatically receive a 666 on your forehead.

:evilgrin:

[Anti-Republician]

6. Smh lol...Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck is a big doofus. A couple of his followers probably believe him too, lmao.

[Skip Intro]

7. KO cracks me up. I believe we'll see an on-air breakdown of beck before the end of the year.

He has some problems.

What's scarier is the number of loons who buy into his act.

Has them going around showing their asses, getting in people's faces, about bullshit.

What's wrong with those people.

[George II]

8. End of the year? Try end of the week or month! That is if he makes it on Fox that long...

...even Ruppert Murdoch isn't rightwing enough to keep Beck around much longer.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. Beating Swords in Plowshares, Eh?

More Commie Propaganda from Isaiah 2!

"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

[Berry Cool]

10. Oh, but don't you know?? "Pruning hook" is just another term for SICKLE!!!!!!

And SICKLES are COMMUNIST TOOLS!!!!!!! Just like HAMMERS!!!!!!!

Next time you have a nail to drive into the wall, don't use a hammer, you Commie! Use your forehead!!!! It's the AMERICAN way!

[Yavin4]

12. Well, Using Your Head As A Hammer Is How One Becomes A Beck Viewer

You've just explained everything. Thank you.

[midnight]

20. Ok. This one makes me laugh out loud. I watched glen beck

for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought who can watch this?

[Enthusiast]

38. Ah, but we pick and choose

the biblical passage to suit us. They choose to ignore that one.

[mth44sc]

14. Thiis is

classic

[windoe]

16. FOX is using a mentally unstable man to make a profit--it is pathetic.

Not only that, but they are using mentally ill people like Beck and OReilly to appeal to the mentally vulnerable people in the population--

THEY ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW!!

[D23MIURG23]

17. I'm always amazed at the lows to which right wing commentary is perpetually sinking.

I'm surprised that even fox would air this crap.

[Bjorn Against]

18. That clip of Blazing Saddles at the end was perfect

:rofl:

[BREMPRO]

23. no harsemane bushwacker crackercroakcer is gonna taollemonwhatado!!

now i ask you ladies and gentlemen, who can argue with that?

[underpants]

30. Who can argue with frontier gibberish like that?

I ask you

[loveable liberal]

19. That.... was funny. :)

[usregimechange]

21. I can't stop laughing!!!

[Jeroen]

27. + 1 LOL!

[usregimechange]

22. kick

[lbrtbell]

24. I was LMAO so hard when I saw Keith's take on this

Glenn Beck sounds certifiably insane, and what's scarier is that there are so many people who take him seriously.

I really think a solid 60% of his viewership is people who don't give a damn what he's saying...they're just waiting for him to have a total nervous breakdown on live TV.

Keith did a hilarious parody of BecKKK's insane rantings, and the Blazing Saddles clip at the end was frosting on the cake!

[TlalocW]

25. What kills me is

Beck more than once says something like, "And no one knows what this means these days!" Well, then, if no one knows what it means, then it can't influence people so why get upset? The Diego Rivera mural was destroyed before it was finished so unless people go see it in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City (I have) then it can't influence them. People passing by the Mussolini holding the horses (and it is Benito), and they don't know what it represents (assuming Beck's interpretation is correct - it actually sounds plausible which is weird to say about anything he says) then it's just a guy in a cart with some horsies.

TlalocW

[Berry Cool]

33. But don't ya see...it's SUBLIMINAL?????

It gets into your brain without you even KNOWING what it means, and makes you meek and passive for when Barack Hussein Osama takes over the country with his socialist commie ways!!!!!! That's why it's so evil!!!!

[TommyPaine]

29. No one is more deserving of the Dan Quayle Award than Beck

Swell job by Keith, and great placement of that "Blazing Saddles" clip.

Beck embodies that award-worthy trifecta for a public figure, which George Carlin ascribed to Dan Quayle many years ago:

STUPID :dunce:
FULL OF SHIT :wtf:

FUCKIN' NUTS! :crazy:

[diane in sf]

31. Loved the "Ancient Cretan" (cretin) line applied to billo's pic.

[Berry Cool]

35. That and identifying the picture of Fox and Friends as containing

ancient symbolism regarding having been held back one year in school.

[ScottLand]

32. Imagine Glenn Beck walking around in your house:

"You have this painting up - didn't you know it was painted by Satanists?"

[mwb970]

36. My goodness, this man is seriously nuts.

:crazy:

[MrModerate]

39. As hard as he tries, Olbermann just can't appear as wacko as Beck. It's a gift, I guess. n/t

[MissDeeds]

41. Beck's ranting was bizarre

frenzied, agitated, totally out of it. I hate to see someone have a total break from reality, even if it is a neo-con mouthpiece. Scary to think many of his viewers probably thought he was speaking the truth. Why is this guy still on the air?

Olbermann, however, was at his best last night.

[cutlassmama]

50. Because Wack-o Right-Wing Nutjobs

believe him.

[me b zola]

45. Psst

The escapees troll our video forum to post their insane rantings on youtube. Don't just watch here w/o going to youtube to point and laugh at the idiots. :hi:

[graywarrior]

46. Masterpiece by Keith.

Sometimes he bloviates to the point of me wanting to shut him off, but this was priceless and geeeenyus!

[Auggie]

47. Beck: proof that caffeine and LSD do not mix.

[windoe]

48. Beck wouldn't be able to handle LSD

in my experienced opinion.

[BootinUp]

51. Glenn Beck has a Communist paperweight??!!!

That was hilarious.
