Beck Lauds Bush’s ‘Incredible Passion And Resolve’ After Personal Meeting At White House »

Today, CNN Headline News’s right-wing host Glenn Beck had a personal “off-the-record” meeting with President Bush at the White House. Beck’s insights from this meeting include that Bush “is a man who personally feels the pain of every wounded hero” and has “incredible passion and resolve.” From Beck’s show tonight:

Let me tell you the whole story on this. He feels the pain of every wounded hero, every lonely, grieving parent this war has caused. He is a man who understands the heavy cost that we are paying, but who believes with every ounce of his being that we are in the fight for our very survival, a fight that’s importance can only be judged fairly decades from now, and I believe a fight he is willing to be judged harshly for until that time comes, even if he’s long dead.

I can also tell you that he’s — frustrated is not exactly the right word — hopeful, yet frustrated. He’s so frustrated that so many people are so myopic that they have lost sight of the forest through the trees.

Beck isn’t the first journalist to receive an exclusive meeting with President and walk away with nothing but superficial observations. In fact, Bush seems to exclusively invite journalists who won’t criticize him. The main insight New York Times columnist David Brooks was able to offer after a 110-minute meeting with Bush was that the President’s “self-confidence” is “remarkable.”

Beck also added that Bush specifically mentioned the work of Brookings Institution analyst Michael O’Hanlon to support his policies.

15. Sounds like Bush is cherry picking again as far as the data from
the Brookings Institution is concerned. The complete Iraq index (updated weekly) does not paint the rosy picture that Bush does.

25. Micheal Ware --said they cherry picked their own report:


http://thinkprogress.org/?tag=Iraq

.......Ware also responded to Brookings Institution analysts Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack’s recent New York Times op-ed offering a sunny appraisal of progress in Iraq, calling the report “very one dimensional.” “It doesn’t look at what’s been done to achieve this and what long term sustainability there is,” said Ware. “I mean, these guys unfortunately were only in the country for eight days.”

In order to achieve the small victories that O’Hanlon and Pollack cherry-picked for their column, America is actually undermining the Iraqi government, according to Ware. “What America needs to come clean about is that it’s achieving these successes by cutting deals, primarily, with its enemies,” he said.

18. Glenn Beck should show his genuine support
and get his sorry self over to Iraq. Why are our airwaves filled with such garbage??

Hasn't anyone figured out that almost 3/4's of the nation doesn't buy into this nonsense anymore??

Vulgar Pigboy stayed home because he outranks the crazy monkey in the BFEE chain of command.

Bush knows he's going down faster than a republicon Florida state senator in a highway men's room.

Edit: Forgot the most important part. Tip o' the tentacle to zidzi!

30. "Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews"
"Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however.


The goal is different. The goal is globalization. The goal is global carbon tax.
The goal is the United Nations running the world. That is the goal.

Back in the 1930s, the goal was get rid of all of the Jews and have one global government.
" He continued:

"You got to have an enemy to fight. And when you have an enemy to fight, then you
can unite the entire world behind you, and you seize power.
That was Hitler's plan. His enemy: the Jew. Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming."

Beck added:

"Then you get the scientists -- eugenics. You get the scientists -- global warming.
Then you have to discredit the scientists who say, 'That's not right.' And you must silence all
dissenting voices. That's what Hitler did."

31. Beck the cocaine abuser?
"Glenn Beck, born in 1964, began his media career shortly after high school. As a Top 40 radio DJ in Connecticut, he established himself as a local morning host. As Beck tells it, after more than a decade of this, he entered into a non-degree program at Yale University thanks to a recommendation letter from Sen. Joe Lieberman. Due to a combination of personal divorce, tragic family circumstances, alcoholism, and cocaine abuse, Beck quickly failed out."

So apparently Beck does not deserve a prison sentence for his cocaine abuse, but lots of black people do.

32. Bush is a sociopath
He can only mimic compassion. Beck is an idiot. Bush might "feel the pain of every wounded hero", but it doesn't cause him anguish, it causes him orgasms.
