Just today: http://www.therightscoop.com/video-glenn-becks-liberty-university-commencement-address/He weeps to open, of course, then immediately says we need to "unite." He is nuts. Excuse the caps: WHAT THE HELL KIND OF WORLD DO I LIVE IN WHERE GLENN BECK AND SARAH PALIN AND RUSH LIMBAUGH et al ARE CONSIDERED GREAT THINKERS? NEWS FLASH: THEY ARE IGNORAMUSES AND TOOLS. This is the single most ridiculous video I have ever seen. This is our competition in the marketplace of ideas?!?

5. Mr. Nazi Tourettes isn't what I would call a great thinker. |
|
Actually I wouldn't even refer to him as a thinker.

I'm pretty sure Beck's crying at the drop of a hat isn't a result of passion; I think he's not so much passionate as he is unhinged, and the crying is a symptom. Either that or he's severely hormonal. Or faking.

7. I clicked the video on for a couple of minutes but |
|
couldn't get past it when he started to cry and told the audience that he only went to college for one semester because "that's all I could afford." If he really wanted to go to college, there are ways to do it, i.e. student loans, work and part time college, community colleges, etc. How the hell does he think the rest of us did it? And what about today with college tuition higher than ever? What is wrong with so many Americans that hold this phony up as someone who should be listened to and believed? I think I am nauseated from that couple of minutes of video. I blame myself for clicking on that video.

8. He probably flunked out after one semester. |
|
This is why (I suspect) that Sarah Palin went to so many schools.

9. Beck's crying shtick is so creepy.... |
|
You would think people might have a better ability to recognize phony emoting when they see it. But I suppose most of Beck's fans have little understanding of their own emotions (cliche' that may be), so don't recognize false feelings in others.
As I said in another post, Beck is the Right's idea of a Sensitive Man, a concept they got from us moonbat liberals of course. Beck's fans say he is "passionate". I'm sure he is. He's passionate about the money and attention he's getting. As for his true feelings: Beck is unstable.
Like Limbaugh, when Beck is home alone he likely doesn't have any sort of life.

15. Beck called President Obama 'Hitler' again! |
|
Edited on Sat May-15-10 02:50 PM by AnArmyVeteran
Beck is completely insane. He said Obama said we are being given too much information, essentially telling his dimwitted audience Obama was like Hitler. Then he went on to say how a professor told him to read one book, but Beck wanted to read another. But Beck didn't say what books he was talking about. Beck probably had a Playboy magazine and the professor wanted him to read the book associated with the class he was in. But Beck lies by omission all the time. He makes a living deceiving, lying and bearing false witness against his neighbors. He calls everyone in the Obama Administration 'socialists', 'Maoists', 'communists', 'Marxists' and 'Stalinists'. He says they are like Nazis. He says Obama was going to open up organ harvesting centers taken from babies.
And Beck professes to be a Christian? Not one person in his audience condemned him. They just cheered on like mindless zombies. They are not Christians. Real PRACTICING Christians would have no part of a person who profited off of hate, lies, deception and bearing false witness against his neighbors. But not one person walked out. They all sat and cheered.
What a disgraceful performance. And what a scary sight to see the most profoundly ignorant people on the planet listening to a dishonest thug like Glenn Beck. There were no real Christians in that audience. Any real, PRACTICING and aware Christian would have gotten up and left. But Liberty doesn't attract the brightest bulbs in the country. No one who is allowed to think on their own could ever remain in that pretend college. It is an institution of incredible idiocy, filled with absolute conformists who have tasted the cool aid and eagerly drink as much as they can, with no thought, no reason, nothing. They just repeat what they are told, religious robots. And Liberty U is churning out these zombies by the thousands.
God (the real God) help spare us from these mindless zombies who eagerly sat and listened to a half hour speech from one of the most dishonest and insane people in the country...

This particular time period should be known as the Age of Non-enlightenment. Glenn will now gush all over himself and believe he is a learned scholar... :dunce:
EDIT - let us rate our newest 'road' scholars!
Glenn Beck - :dunce: :dunce: Sarah Palin - :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: Bill O'Rielly - :dunce: Sean Hannity - :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:
Rush (emeritus) - :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:
As you can see Gush Limpnose still holds school as master blovator.

No it hasn't anything to do with the video. I was just wondering.
