Glen Beck

[B_Nick4444]

It was a third strike thing. He's out.

oh,no!

what will mum say?

all those one-night stands that gave him BJs?

what about all those leering chicks?

all those ambiguously leering guys at the gym?

his life-long dream to keep America, and the American way safe from libs?

stay tuned ...

You don't need to hate someone you greatly dislike.

I don't expect good morals on a big dick forum, but hey...

I don't hate anyone. I just hope everyone can find happiness. Sure, there are people who make me sick, but I try my hardest not succumb to hatred. Hating doesn't make me feel good.

Love your enemies! You'll only feel better for it!:smile:

ahwwh!

that's why I've always loved my BigBull ...

Calling Glen Beck what he is - a lying, destructive, opportunistic, manipulative, right-wing propogandist - is not the same as saying you hate him. It's entirely accurate, appropriate and justified to do so. It's certainly no worse than what he says about people on a daily basis and broadcasts into tens of millions of homes. The differences being: what he says is false, it influences millions of people, it's very destructive to our society vs. what members here post as their personal opinions to a tiny readership of mostly like-minded individuals.

If anybody here said they 'hate' Glen Beck, I must have missed it. I don't see proportionately that many people wishing him particular ill will either, so much as they aren't too concerned about his well-being. Speaking for myself, I am indifferent to his alleged medical condition, and skeptical that it may be yet another disingenous ploy to garner sympathy. And the irony of him going literally "blind", when he is already figuratively blind, cannot be overlooked as a sort of poetic justice.

stay tuned ...

Let us know when you crawl out of that gin bottle, K?

he should rot in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for completely undermining my thesis, LOL!

People still listen to this fool?
You could learn more about America watching an episode of Fanboy & Chum Chum.

I love my Nick, too!:wink:

Women don't need to work to have identity, nor does a man. I hate that this society believes that people are defined by their jobs. What do people care where other people work, or if they do at all.

I don't like Glen Bleck, either, but I do like that he doesn't look down on stay-home mothers (the hardest job in the world when done right), like so many. You know, how many Americans say: She's "just" a stay-home mom (the few, sadly, that there are these days anyways). My response is: "She "just" raising the next generation to come, that's all. What are doing at your dumb job? Making money off the poor like a good Christian? Or shaking your ass? That takes effort.

(Yes, I try to see the good in not-so-good people):smile:

I of course agree completely with Max. But I also feel that political talk of either party affects people. For some strange reason there's this belief that "it's just politics", therefore you can say or do anything you want with no repercussions. I think that the political and media class should be responsible in their language and expression, and not tell lies. Glenn Beck is not the only media entertainer who says these crazy things.

They should of course, but don't hold your breath. Politicians (most, not all) have always told lies as their stock and trade. The infotainment media (that's what most teevee "news" is), especially since the explosion of cable with round-the-clock programming slots to fill, all juice up the controversy to score ratings and sell more crap through commercial advertising. I don't see this equation changing; I expect it to get worse.

It's up to the public to try to be discriminating and seek out more balanced and unfiltered information on their own. I don't see this happening either; the public for the most part is passive, lazy, and they seek out "news" that supports their own predetermined bias. This is especially true of Fux News viewers. Hate to say it, but it'll be more of the same, and ultimately as a result we are doomed.

Glenn Beck is not the only media entertainer who says these crazy things.

No, but he's the one who's the subject of the thread.

It's nice that you try to see the good in not-so-good people, bigbull29. But, let's consider a hypothetical:

if I were able to prove that Adolf Hitler loved little furry kittens, would that really change who he was or what he did?
​

Just sayin'.

No, but Glen Beck isn't Adolph Hitler. But that doesn't change the basic tenant of my argument: love your enemies (that doesn't mean we go up to them and give them lots of kisses and beg them to be our friends). We recognize their evil doings and know that bad karma is coming their way; we then wish them well and move on.

I'm no fake: there are people I really dislike. But it's best to ignore them and wish them well. If we sit and dwell on how mean they are, we become depressed since we can't change them, or rectify the situation.

Feeling hate doesn't make you feel good. Let it go and focus on love and beauty.

I'm breathing a beautiful breath right now There is beautiful sunshine. I'm just so happy. God, I love my breath and the sunshine. What more do I need?:smile:

Pranayama!!!!!

Hate beating a horse to death, but since you got a "bravo", I'm going to.

So... in this happy world of rainbows and unicorns where you reside, you can "dislike" Glenn Beck and just leave it at that? IMHO, that's noble, but pretty short-sighted. If everybody had just "disliked" Hitler and never lifted a finger during the late 20s and early 30s when he was spouting off his populist message that essentially dehumanized the Jewish population, he would have eventually risen to power. Oh wait. Nobody did lift a finger.

Now, I heard you about how "Glenn Beck isn't Hitler", but do you really need me to point out the "hate" elements in his speeches and TV programs? Come on! How do you think the National Socialist party started in Germany? (Here's a hint: it wasn't by killing any Jews. It was just talking about the reasons why the German economy was in the tank. You've heard that old saw about the slippery slope?)

Besides, it's not just Glenn Beck, it's the people who follow Glenn Beck. It's convenient to ignore people you don't like and probably very reaffirming to know that you haven't wished them ill... but I think you have to call a spade a spade: Glenn Beck preaches fear, hate, and yes, racism. He is evil. He feeds off of, fuels, and profits from the fears of ordinary citizens. I will return to my original post, where I was pointing out to DJG that this isn't simply somebody to whom you 'turn the other cheek':

DJG... you forget that the person who falsely yells 'Fire!' in a crowded movie theater is guilty of criminal activity.

There is a huge difference between reporting on the news, commenting on the news, and inventing news or twisting the reporting of news to satisfy a political agenda.
. . .

I'm really sorry about Glenn Beck's vision. Really, I am. But... there's something like 10 million people with macular degneration; let's channel our sympathies towards them. In the meantime, let's not forget who or what we're talking about here.

 

[avg_joe]

I'm sorry, but Beck has caused me harm. Every time I see his whining, uneducated, right wing, lunitic ass on tv, I instantly get a headache. I don't wish the man ill will, but he is a piece of shit.

Just by watching his show, I can tell that he has a psychological problem. Under his right wing rhetoric professor-wanna-be mask, there is a sad lonely child crying for help. Please understand Beck.

 

[bigbull29]

What do you all want? For Glen Beck to start drinking again? You are going to push him to it. If he goes back to the bottle, it's all over. :tongue:

Love your enemies (I do mean that, though)

 

[LetsGo2007]

Karma sucks sometimes, but there ya go. Rick Warren is going blind too. And there it is again. I wonder what'll happen to Rush?

Glenn Beck May Go Blind Within a Year .....................Never one to suffer in silents.

Then we will have a case of the blind leading the blind.

Amusingly, I just clicked on the link in the OP top of page 1 and was quickly notified that "Yahoo does not allow access to this page." Hmmmm. . . . .

Oh...he's still alive?
