My take on Glen Beck as a wrench hucking Union loving Liberal.
I have never felt violence toward someone on the right. That is something I've prided myself in.

But Glen Beck...when this guy starts cackling...in his smug voice...and his stupid faces...I can't fight the urge.

I just want to punch this guy. Tell him to "shut the fuck up, you whiny pussy"...standing over him after a beat down.


I'm very ashamed that I feel this way. While I come from a work back ground where everybody is a tough guy...a vast majority are Democrats. And I don't think I've seen any outward violence in my industry. Guys puffing out their chests. But that's the extent.


But Glen just makes me want to hurk and jerk him around like a ragdoll from his collar while he screams for mercy. Like...not only do I want to do it...but I kind of fantasize about it. I don't want to end him. I just want to rough him up a bit. Bully him. He's the guy at the party who needs an ass kicking.


I'm actually depressed that I feel this way. Rush has never made me feel this way. Hannity neither. It's in me to yell at people (such is my job)...but it's not in me to hurt people.


What's wrong with me that I want to play drums on this guys head?

1. I feel violence against men who demean other men by calling them 'pussy'.
It really pisses me off to associate being weak - a wimp - with being female.

4. It was not meant that way.
I'm sorry you took it as such.

I was raised by three women...and any close friend would tell you I treat my wife like royalty. I'm sorry that that word offends you.

6. Yes, its association with weakness really bothers me.
I appreciate your comment.

2. He's a fake
He's doing it for ratings. That's it.

11. I'm not so sure...
Unlike O'Reilly, who's clearly putting on an act for the $$$, Beck seems to me like he actually is a moron.

13. I don't think he's a moron. I think he's an asshole.

3. I feel that way when rush says stuff like..
The right-wing, white supremacist guy who walked into the Holocaust Museum and murdered a black security guard is a "leftist".

5. It's all an act, he plays the part for the money.
He doesn't care or even listen to one bit of the nonsense he spews, if he got a better deal for more money from a liberal media outlet, the very next day he'd have a 'come-to-Jeebus' moment and become a raving Leftie.

Beck isn't worth your anger. It's like getting angry at an evil character an actor portrayed in a movie, or a play.

I've only seen snippets of his act. I thought he was brain damaged in some sad sort of way.

10. Yep.
Fact is, it pays to be a conservative talk-show host.

(And it helps that conservative philosophy is the one that says we should un-tax the rich, of which those talk-show hosts who rake in MILLIONS are...)

7. It's funny you should say this.
He does the same to me. I wonder if that's why he has his own show... to provoke normally peaceable folks like us, to make us appear unhinged and unreasonable?

9. Beck is the smirky fucking smart mouth that stirs up all the trouble
and pushes and pushes until somebody can't take it anymore. Then he runs away and those who try to chase him get caught by thugs who protect him.
A classic, classic bully. And like all bullies he is a coward at heart. If he wasn't he'd be putting his money where his mouth is.
