Someone with actual intelligence and knowledge of history picks Beck's crazy lying bull apart!

2. Well, Mr. Beck DOES claim to have only 2 brain cells
I guess that one of them has burnt out.

4. Hilarious and informative.
Glenn Beck -- one long, long, long, long acid trip that ended long ago for the rest of the world s but never will end for him.

His thoughts are so disorganized, confused, jumbled, sick, that you wonder how he has survived this long.

Does anyone know anything about Glenn Beck's wife? She must be a very well organized person. Either that, or Glenn Beck has a top-notch valet, because anyone as disoriented as Glenn Beck would not be able to get his shoes and socks or tuck in his shirt on without help. What a mess he is.

One of these days, Glenn Beck will just explode (or implode) under the pressure of keeping up this constant manufactured drama, and his act will be history.

Rupert Murdock should do Glenn Beck a favor and put him on sick leave until Glenn finishes his acid trip.

6. Mr. Beck and the rest of the Mormons believe this crap.
All he is doing is teaching Mormon theology to a bunch of right-wing dimwits!

28. However I will say we are being a little off here
Going after Mormons.... just because one is a bad apple... he could point that out too. making the protesting against Islam seem justified.

There's always John Travolta and his sci fi beliefs thats far weirder. and Jehova's Witnesses are just too weird for me. They only have like 200,000 people alotted to go to heaven and everyone else is going to hell. or wherever it is. So everyones got their weirdness around.

And there's always those darn Mason's. O_O whereby speaking ill of the Mason's assures me I'll be losing my head soon

31. I think all people who are religiously insane should be ridiculed mercilessly.
I never have understood why I should have to "respect" anyone's foolish behavior, whether it be having to wear a long beard, a burka, or magic underwear because someone else wrote that a superpowerful ghost told them to.

9. Glenn Beck on acid, I sort of like that, it sort of fits.
But what about 70,000 to 500,000 people that showed up to listen to him? Are they just brain dead or on some bad acid trip, too?

15. 87,000 to 97.000
does not equal 70,000 to 500,000. Either you left off the sarcasm thingy or you failed to learn math in grade school. Please reply so I know which one is your deficit.

8. Beck is quite the scheister. Instead of going to college and learning about American History,
Fox viewers are being schooled by Glen Beck? Does he even know what Manifest Destiny is? Sorry, I can't watch the whole vid, and I know its cliche to say, however, Mr. Beck personifies 1984 so clearly.

10. Even if you didn't watch the whole thing, you got the idea, Beck makes up
Edited on Sun Sep-05-10 04:47 PM by activa8tr
half of his "lectures" and has all the right gesticulations to make it sound like he knows what he is talking about.

He doesn't and this guy who did the video, (a Canadian, by the way) is just letting Beck cook his own Mormon fantasy goose in front of us rational thinking people.

for everyone else he's an impostor.

it quite well.

16. beckkk keeps trying to interject his mormon bu$hit
into every issue. Trying to validate America's homegrown religion. There is NO historical facts to back up the mormon bu$hit. mormon propaganda. :puke:

The mormon church buries issues that don't satisfy ideas of it's religion. beckkk, like joseph smith, is a huckster. Ask beckkk about the white salamander.

20. all deity based religion is bullshit
Mormonism is no more ridiculous or unsubstantiated then any other religion that believes that claims the existence of gods.

17. Beck, as with Joseph Smith, has a religion based on P.T. Barnum.

25. Religion is silly,. .
Faith in some "invisible man in the sky" and the dogma of some organized group who claim special knowledge and contact with this imaginary being is not sane. Logic and reason are much more useful and lead to much better results. Curb you dogma Glen. Religion is used to control people throught fear.

24. Hearing Beck's voice is like hearing fingernails on a blackboard.
I must admit, I should have earmuffs on when I listen to Beck

26. Many educated Mormons know its total bullshit.
I have two friends who are Mormons. Both were educated in the same university that I attended where we became friends. They fully admitted that they knew the Book of Mormon was total nonsense. They only remained Mormons because their economic survival depended solely on their continued affiliation with the Latter Day Saints. It would have required a total break with their family and childhood friends if they renounced the religion. They would have been totally ostracized if they remained in Salt Lake City. This would be especially difficult for their children who would have been shunned. This is a very difficult thing to do for the vast majority of people who just chose to keep up appearances. It is not totally unlike Catholics that continue to attend church functions for weddings, Christmas, to maintain family peace and unity.

Anyone who has taken out the time to read even a few chapters of the Book of Mormon realize that it is total nonsense. Not to mention that the blood of the Meadow Mountain massacre has forever stained this cult. I believe that their attraction is that they are very family orientated and their converts are not very discerning people in regard to the theology of this ridiculous cult. The are drawn into membership in order to belong and feel wanted.

27. although he uses BCE and I still say BC
only reason it became BCE is because AD always came with the confusion that it was after death which obviously it wasn't for 30 years.

Either way, Glenn Beckkk loves telling tale tails. too bad people fall for those tall tails. eeek there's fema concentration camps at the airports. gotta get rid of the airports. eeek

30. I'm not sure Beck is that far off on this
No, I'm not saying native Americans were from Israel. But some did build huge metropolises like the Aztecs. There are mounds and pyramids left from ancient cultures.
