Totally stupid, and the audience applauding him while he's insulting them are more stupid.

I saw him live at Rutgers Univ. about 23 years ago. Funny stuff!

classicman · 11-03-2010, 05:46 PM

Really - I think I saw him about the same time at the Grand Opera house in DE.

Hmm...maybe a little earlier actually - I think I was still in my teens.

While I quite agree about cancer, I must take issue re Beck. My, my. Such a spurt of venom at the mere mention of the reformed alcoholic.

Glenn Beck satisfies the liberty-minded adult -- yet his thinking causes you to snarl. Am I to figure that you are neither liberty-minded nor adult? For if you were at least liberty-minded, you'd like him, and not on my say-so.

Glenn's opposition seems to come from that quarter that pursues the aggrandizement of the State at a cost to the individual, that works to inflate the dollar, that thinks government-issue health care is the only health care (a simplistic notion if ever there was), that is going to jack your income taxes by a fifth... in short, those people who are out to destroy everybody's quality of life, yours included. These are people locked in a bitter hatred of worth and of life, and they are a sorry lot. They'd piss off a New Black Panther.

Glenn Beck is truly down with capitalism, which is another way of saying he has a close connection with the stuff and breath of life itself. All of capitalism's rivals are ripoffs, shucks, and inferiorities.

Now aren't you glad you know more about it than you did this morning?

Sheldonrs · 11-03-2010, 08:06 PM

So if you don't like Beck you don't like liberty?

Wow.

Beck takes a kernel of truth, a very small one, and spins it into some completely mindless banter about a nightmare he had or some other delusional conspiracy.

Flint · 11-03-2010, 09:12 PM

UG, Beck may be on "the right side" but can't we all agree he is a stark-raving lunatic? The man is seriously mentally unstable. Shouldn't you have concerns about choosing such outlandish bedfellows?

It doesn't matter who you think Beck's enemies are, you don't have to defend a freakin' fruitloop.

He's just trolling.

Who? Beck or UG?
