Beck and Limbaugh Are Just Too Good! There Is Nowhere to Turn.
It’s hard enough to be a liberal, Nazi, progressive, communist, but with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh uncovering your every devious plan, it’s damn near impossible. Every time my friends and I design an intricate, multi-faceted plot to take down America – one of those two is there. Shining sunlight on what should have forever remained in darkness.

We thought life would be easy after we elected a Muslim terrorist from Kenya. Especially after Our Socialist continued many of the same programs initiated under the Bush administration. But no, Beck and Limbaugh just doubled down on their investigative sleuthing. They left no stone unturned.

One of Limbaugh’s biggest coups was figuring out how my friends and I sabotaged the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico. My wife and I were sitting in a drum circle with another couple pounding our bongos made of hemp and talking about how we need to ‘outlaw’ the feeling of being superior – when it hit us. Design and build a new kind of submarine that can go to the bottom of the ocean undetected, and blow up an oil rig. That would teach people that oil and water don’t mix. “There must be someone out there who doesn’t know this yet,” said Flower, Granola’s wife. Our plan was foolproof! But somehow, Limbaugh caught on and told the whole world, the rig was blown up by "hardcore environmentalist wackos." Now our plan is doubly ruined because Limbaugh is letting everyone in on the secret, oil is natural and won’t hurt anything. All that work for nothing!

And how were we found out, anyway?

This followed an entire year of Beck telling our biggest secrets. For the greater part of the century we were able to hide from everyone the true meanings of the words, ‘progressive’ and ‘Nazi.’ Liberals/progressives used to think that just because the people who identified themselves as either Nazi or progressive, thought their ideologies were diametrically opposed - and that the dictionary also said they are opposing philosophies - and that all educated people also agreed that the two philosophies were at opposite ends of the spectrum – that we were safe from anyone uncovering the true meanings of the words. Then Beck came along and uncovered our Uber-Super- Secret Dictionary/Encyclopedia. (That’s its real title.) He told the world that Progressives are Nazis and Nazis are Progressives. Now everyone knows that when someone says they want to help someone less fortunate, they really mean they want to put them into death camps. It makes it so much harder when people know your plans in advance.

We also used to believe that having scientists helping your side was a bonus. We figured out a way make the United States spend trillions and trillions of dollars and get nothing in return. We called it Global Warming. Another perfect plan - or so we thought. Then Glenn Beck noticed it was cold last winter and that some scientists argue. The jig was up! When we thought we had people convinced society was based on laws and improved with technology, Limbaugh found the true basis for society – plastic shopping bags.

Of course Beck and Limbaugh have some help. All of Fox News, Michael Savage and Hugh Hewitt to name a few. They help get the word out. But these two are the Kings of Truth. One thing after another has been uncovered by these two intrepid wonder boys, and if they don’t rest I don’t know how our side is going to destroy America and make it a tax and spend paradise. Where no one will be allowed to work, and the only people given a voice are gay, Muslim, illegal aliens who hate God and want America to fail.

One can dream.

Are you kidding???

Satire???


The same people who hired Steven Colbert for the Correspondence Dinner while Bush was in office would totally think this thing was serious.


Again, satire is one of our devious plots.

And you knew that when you swore the blood oath. You've opened a Pandora's box now. I hope you're happy with yourself.

Taking them seriously is a waste of time. They're well-paid barkers--what you object to is their imbecile audience repeating this spew like gospel. People like that were hopeless before Beck was born.

35. I just spoke with 20Score (he's my husband)
And he asked me to tell you to go ahead and share it if you like. His name, J. Mathieu.

He's out of town on business and so his ability to respond to you personally is very limited.

(He is also very flattered, but didn't ask me to say that part, so "shhh") :)

31. The saddest victim of all this - is He Who Does Not Get Named.
Edited on Tue May-18-10 02:04 PM by calimary
I like to call him that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-Vanity.

Poor widdle sean! It's not just with this OP here, but have you noticed how - when anyone (not JUST us) spoke of that whole hate-radio/hate-tv blight by typically referencing the same two names: limbaugh and vanity. Few of us ever has time or the inclination to list more than two names of the offenders on that side of the political spectrum. Shit, there are so many of them that it'd take almost all day. So it's always been "limbaugh and vanity" cited as the names you put on this media movement.

With glenn beck's recent dominance of that movement - mainly because he got on Pox, a network that works its cable penetration like nobody's business, and promotes him like there's no tomorrow (they wanted to build another star) - that's all changed. Now, the two names listed whenever this kind of subject comes up are beck and limbaugh. If you're gonna drop, or designate, just two of the most prominent leading lights of hate media, those are the names you pick. And those are the names that evidently just about everybody else is picking, too. I don't see any other references made when this kind of reference is voiced. I never see a reference to "limbaugh and ingraham" or "beck and boortz" although here, for the first time, I see "savage and hewitt" mentioned, second-tier, after "beck and limbaugh." Nobody uses the name references of "limbaugh and vanity" anymore, since glenn beck went on Pox Noise and started crying. Headline News was never where all the action was, for him, as far as gaining obscene quantities of rabid knuckle-dragger viewers. He found his audience and exploited it at Pox Noise, and bumped our poor little sean off the top tier. And really, vanity's name hardly ever pops up anymore.

Oh, his aching ego!!!!!! That's GOTTA hurt an ego as big as sean's. That's why I never use his surname, especially when the word "Vanity" is so perfect. I don't like to give him the flattery of acknowledgment by referencing his name. It's the worst insult you could throw at him and the thing he dreads most: obscurity.

I find this little tangent positively EXQUISITE!!!!!

I gotta say - this alone makes the whole damnable glenn beck phenomenon almost worth it!!!!

:evilgrin:

39. Curses! Beck's magical white board was whispering to him all of our secrets!
And Rush's ass boil was instrumental in deciphering our secret progressive code.

Together, the boil and board make up what is known to the right as a teabag-a-tron. It knows all.

57. your local university may be sponsoring them in global warming and other stupidity, racism
and that's because the loudest radio stations in many states are limbaugh/hannity stations and that's where many universities broadcast their athletics programs.

how can an institution of 'higher education' continue to support radio stations that do all day global warming denial?
