10. If Glen Beck has to explain things to Republican candidates then he should be the one running.
Wouldn't that be special???

14. Those are going to be some real short meetings
Candidate: "Mr. Beck, please tell us what Occupy Wall Street is all about."

Beck: "It's just a handful of jobless hippies who want productive Americans to give them a free ride, so they can spend all their time smoking dope and listening to Beatles records."

Candidate: "Then it's nothing to worry about. We just make American Patriots hate them worse than they do now, and we're in like Flynn."

22. From what I heard
he's telling his audience that the OWS people will "pull you from your homes and kill you!"

I don't think he's taking the age-old "dope-smoking hippies" line this time. He wants to stir up some violence.

26. Is he running ads for Hornady Zombie Max ammo yet?
It probably works as well on OWS types as it does on zombies.

16. Good one!



They're clearly not looking for facts -- they're looking for some good, slur-filled "talking points".

18. And the beauty is that we'll all get to hear them at the next debate!
We should make up the craziest things we can and do a Bingo game with it, like the venerable Bush Bingo of days past :)

25. There's a special way Rightwing Wacknuts talk to other


Rightwing Wacknuts.

These are very skittish people, people who freak out over tests of the Emergency Broadcast System, people who see the Anti-Christ in every potato chip.

They are those poor, lost souls who believe Obama is a Communist and a Hippie and a Muslin and a Kenyan and a Nazi and an Athiest and a part of the New World Order all at the same time.

The Republican Party must appeal to these deluded paranoids; few other voters take the Republican Party seriously anymore, after Palin and this Do Nothing House have provided textbook models of laziness, obstruction, and oligarchy.

So they must talk to the Master of the Militia Men, to get those Rightwing Wacko Talking points down perfectly.

I happily look forward to the sound bytes their "lessons" are going to provide :rofl:

27. He'll blame it on Frances Fox Piven
Because Glenn Beck always blames everything on Frances Fox Piven

The funny part is that Piven actually is supporting OWS. She was interviewed down at Zuccotti Park by Democracy Now a couple of weeks ago and told them "I think we desperately need a popular uprising in the United States."

I can't wait to see what dark, sinister conspiracy theories Glenny erects around that.

I can see Bachmann, Perry, Cain and Mittens sitting in front of Glenny with drool running down their chins as he lectures the idiots on the dangers of OWS! :silly:

30. Metaphors escape me.
Maybe if I could visualize Richard Nixon asking Billy Graham for kinky sex tips.

But if I could visualize that, I would have to gouge my eyes out.
