1. Such a total schmuck!!!!!!!!!

[Cleobulus]

2. The idiot can't even get his history right, it was NERO who fiddled while Rome burned...

ugh, I hate the willfully ignorant.

[Swede]

3. Wasn't he an Oligarh?

[WinkyDink]

38. Beck is a moran!

[unapatriciated]

9. In his mind he has it right-I think he just threatened the President.

or at the very least is asking for a Brutus to step forward from his batshit crazy listeners.

[marmar]

4. Dumb and Insane.........

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Et Tu Glenn?

:eyes:

Of course, we all know (and I think he knows) what happened to Caesar. Another "dogwhistle" to his *fans*?

[The Second Stone]

6. Beck's pants are on fire

and he pours Ceaser on his salad, and then tosses it and closes his skull back up.

[blondeatlast]

7. HAD, Gleener, HAD Julius Caesar in the White House, Do try to keep up,

this is 2010. that guy left over 2 years ago.

[Hekate]

17. No one so intelligent and grand as Caesar. We had ourselves Baby Caligula. nt

[eShirl]

30. "C+ Augustus" maybe, but definitely not the brilliant Julius

[kenny blankenship]

8. I hear you, Cassius

I hope the Secret Service and FBI hear you, too.

[qazplm]

10. Did Beck give up

when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[lpbk2713]

11. Beck thinks he's Napoleon.

And he needs to be in a nut house.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. Here's an idea, why don't we leave Beck & his falling ratings to him &

his mental health professional. Maybe then he'll fade into relative obscurity, much like Lou Dobbs. I'm serious people, we have got to stop reacting to every utterance from the UNELECTED fools on the right. Of course this might mean that the folks who are obsessed & make money from reporting about rightwing talkers, might have to find another job.

[Odin2005]

13. Arrest that bastard! He's obviously implying Obama should be assasinated!

:grr:

[RoyGBiv]

14. Time for a toga party?

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Oh, no, that's what got us into this mess in the first place.

[Johonny]

15. But like Caesar Obama makes a great salad

[era veteran]

16. Alle beckia ist dividea in tres partes

The first part is stupid, the second part is stupid, and the third part is stupid. ( With apologies to Mrs. Rice/ Latin 1, 1968 )

[Hekate]

18. That's not just dog-Latin; that's "very bad doggy" Latin!

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres ....

I cheated, though: I looked it up. ;-)

Mrs Doty was my Latin teacher several lifetimes ago, approximately 1962. Ah, the memories.

[era veteran]

23. LOL

[Fozzledick]

25. Disgustabus non est disputandum

:hide:

[SpiralHawk]

37. "Veni, Vedi, Veepy." - Beck (R - Typical Chickenhawk Republicon)

with apologies to Mr. Casey/Latin 1 - 1964

[Canuckistanian]

19. What a dumbfuck

If you're going to use ancient Roman references, at least get the people right:

It's:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero

NOT:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar

[DavidDvorkin]

20. And the Germans are bombing Pearl Harbor.

[sakabatou]

21. How long has he been off his meds?

[guitar man]

22. Alright everybody, stop picking on Glen

After all, his grandfather was killed in ww2.











He fell out of a guard tower at Auschwitz :rofl:

[MUAD_DIB]

24. Now to go out on a limb or put my head on the chopping block...

I believe that he is actually mistaking J. Caesar for a one Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.

[Rex]

26. This is why Beck has on HONORARY degree from a fake college.

Stupid little man.

[Swede]

39. Guarantee he displays it proudly somewhere.

Big phony.

[krabigirl]

27. lmao, classic

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

28. Perhaps a coded message for:

Our country is economically on fire (in a good way) and we have Julius Caesar (a historic leader) in the White House?

Maybe he's just in an OWTF mood tonight, spoke the truth and wondered how many would catch it?

[calimary]

29. Hey, we have Caligula on Pox Noise in front of some lame blackboard.

[upi402]

31. Beck is hiding some freaky stuff

I'd bet on it. His fall will be worth it all.

[JDPriestly]

32. The BP fiasco is leaving Beck behind, way behind.

It's going to be hard for him to get a shtick that pleases his sponsors and his viewers at the same time on this one.

[Toucano]

33. That's what an honorary degree from Jerry Falwell University gets you.

Pick up a book, Beck.

[political_Dem]

34. Beck is just asking for a visit from Homeland Security, isn't he?

[jobycom]

35. As racist is Beck is, I wonder if that's an intentional reference to Planet of the Apes.

:shrug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. He's sailing the Andrea Doria right into the proverbial iceberg!

:rofl:

:dunce:

[DefenseLawyer]

40. Fat drunk and stupid are no way to go through life, son. n/t

[area51]

41. Beck is late.

Too bad he didn't notice that was true when GW Hoover was in the White House. As people predicted, all of a sudden, nazi party members "got Jesus" and saw the terrible state of the economy -- only when a democrat was in the WH. :eyes:
