I had a scary thought this morning

[Cowpunk]

It was this:

What will happen if Glenn Beck has a complete psychotic breakdown?

I was beginning to think he had reached that point as I tried to make sense of Beck's bizarre commencement speech at Liberty University this Saturday. I went back and watched it again and no, he hasn't completely lost it yet. He is, however, displaying classic symptoms of manic behavior: Paranoid delusions, racing thoughts, lack of sleep, confusion, frequent weeping, etc.

If Glenn Beck needs to be hospitalized, what will his followers do?

If Beck disappears from public view for a while and then comes back recanting the crazy things he has said, many of his follwers will no doubt see him as a real-life Winston Smith, re-educated by the OBAMATRON. Beck has already set himself up as a messianic sacrificial lamb in their eyes. All hell could break loose if that happens.

On the other hand, if Beck goes off the deep end and doesn't get treatment, he may end up a pariah, leading his people into the wilderness like Joseph Smith. He seems to be preparing his followers for something like that.

1. That's his schtick

He doesn't give a shit about politics. He doesn't believe a word he spouts.

He's got a schtick. He targets low information voters because those people are vulnerable to his schtick.

HE could give a fuck if his schtick convinces some moron to go wackjob and take a shot at a politician. All he cares about are the number of zeros behind the first number on his paycheck.

8. Yep, and Limbaugh is the same and many others, hucksters working the crowds for

all the cash they can get and lugging it to the bank. Suckers are born everyday and these guys know it... Many preachers/religions do the same and this inane country gives them tax free status.

12. HE IS AN ENTERTAINER, NO MORE, NO LESS

15. An entertainer who stands on the stage yelling "FIRE!" and then watches

as the crowds try to run out the exits and kill each other.

20. Yep!!! All part of the show!!!

[spanone]

2. he's already psychotic

[Cowpunk]

19. Sociopathic maybe, but not psychotic

Beck's basic faculties are still intact-he knows where he's going, what he's doing and why.

I know quite well what a real psychotic breakdown looks like. He's not there yet.

[randr]

3. His personality is a classic example of

a complete psychotic breakdown.

4. "If"?

[FSogol]

5. Luckily, his followers are fat sheep, only capable of parroting what they

hear without thinking of how ridiculous it sounds. They are to lazy to do anything except whine and complain. When Beck has a break down, no one will notice and his sheep will move on to the next shiny/shrill object.

6. Were you sitting on the toilet when you thought of Beck?

[RKP5637]

9. Ha, or staring into it when finished!!! Too bad we can't flush away Beck. n/t

[JuniperLea]

7. I wonder how many of his sheeple will follow him into the abyss!?!

Maybe he's not really psychotic, maybe that's just his "character," his "persona."

No matter how he falls, and I do believe he will fall, his sheeple will blame Obama. They will connect the dots that only they see, and convict Obama of some evil power over their dear little Glennie-Pooh.

11. Like the lemmings they are....

[RKP5637]

21. Excellent - Great Pic!!! n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

10. If it happens, I hope it is in front of a camera.

I never watch his show, so that would be the only way I could witness it....and laugh.
Too bad if anyone find that offensive. That idiot is very deserving of NOTHING!!!

[JuniperLea]

13. Ratings GOLD!

:rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

14. ROTFLAMO!!!!

[no limit]

16. It's all an act. I don't think he actually believes anything he says

[stuball111]

17. What do you mean by "If"?

I think it happened a long time ago:shrug: :shrug: :rofl: :rofl:

[NoPasaran]

18. What would happen if a house fell on him?

22. Rupert Murdoch watched the movie Network...

...and had an epiphany. I am convinced of it.
Glenn Beck is his Howard Beale, and when Rupe is done with him, Glenn will be sacrificed.

But it is all an act, and a profitable one too, for little Glenn...
