Beck excites conservatives, mocks Michelle Obama

Ugh. He's disgusting in so many ways. I wonder if tax breaks for the rich are considered out-of-control spending in his world?

Beck excites conservatives, mocks Michelle Obama

“We are 40 days from fundamentally changing America,’’ Beck said. “. . . What the Tea Party movement wants is an end to out-of-control spending, an end to the insanity, an end to the growth in government that is gobbling everything up.’’

He also ridiculed first lady Michelle Obama’s campaign to get people to eat healthier snacks like apples or carrots.

“Get away from my french fries, Mrs. Obama,” Beck warned. “First politician that comes up to me with a carrot stick, I’ve got a place for it. And it’s not in my tummy.”

Beck railed against the media establishment, but then stopped himself and said, “I know that’s a little of the pot calling the kettle … I know I’m part of the media establishment.”

Before the event kicked off, about 200 protesters joined in song and prayer outside.

“Let’s not kid ourselves — this is about racism,” said the Rev. Rodney Reinhart, an Episcopal pastor from Harvey. “It’s because we have a black man in the White House. This is about money. You have to pay $1,600 to get your picture taken with Glenn Beck.”

About 140 people reportedly paid to get their picture taken with Beck. Money raised will be used to help conservative candidates.

10. This summer I saw a bumper sticker that said "Out of my child's lunchbox Michelle!"
I suppose we'll all end up paying for that parent's morbidly obese kid in later years anyway.

11. makes me think of the family on wife swap/trading spouses that never


ate vegetables.

teenagers thought the new wife was nuts to want them to eat veg.

they would be the family that would use that bumper sticker.
