Self-infatuated Glenn Beck trolls through ThinkProgress comments section.»

Last night on CNN’s Glenn Beck Show, Beck invited guest Brian Sack to discuss the all-important topic of…Glenn Beck. Beck introduced the segment by informing his audience that some of his critics are using the internet “as a way of sharing their loathing of me.” Sack then turned to conspiracy theories about Beck that are on the web, which led him to our comments section where one commenter baselessly suggested that Beck is a CIA operative. During the entire segment, an on-screen chyron read, “Who Loves Glenn?” Watch it:

While ThinkProgress does not condone conspiracy theories about Beck, we’re happy to have him trolling our site and comments section. We’ll continue to feed Beck’s self-infatuation by pointing out his numerous incendiary and inane comments.

  1. Crusty Old Bastard Says:

    ‘twould be better to ignore the stupid egotistical ass. His salary and prestige are based on the quamtity of the attention he gets, not the quality of same. The answer to all of these right-wing nuts is just let them rot in their own BS soon they will end up talking to themselves–more than they do now.


  2. rmwarnick Says:

    As long as no one baselessly suggests Glenn Beck is a journalist, I’m OK with whatever theory seems to explain why he has his own TV show.


  3. Badmoodman Says:

    “…his critics are using the internet “as a way of sharing their loathing of me.”

    - - Glenn, that’s why Al Gore invented it.


  4. misshusseinmolly Says:

    Glenn Beck reminds me of Ann Coulter, Michael Weiner Savage, and so many others in the rabid right — their stock in trade is to get attention by saying outrageous things. And when the limelight starts dimming, they have to come up with something new and more shocking than anything they have said before to regain it. The “ME ME ME PAY ATTENTION TO ME!” starts getting old.

    These people contribute nothing of value to society.


  5. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    Beck, you vile, pathetic, anti-American scum, if you are reading this, please kiss my lovely arse.


  6. vat694848 Says:

    I have doubt’s whether his mother loves him?


  7. rastaman Says:

    AND I’LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW MY ACIDIC ASPERSIONS ARE BEING READ BY ONE OF THE BIGGEST IDIOTS NEXT TO DOUG FEITH.


  8. Uncle Ho Says:

    Hey Beck,

    Go cheney Yourself!!!!


  9. RobertSeattle Says:

    Wow trolling comment section of a blog on TV - that’s some Urnalism, Beck.


  10. flex Says:

    Why anyone listens to big mouth Beck baffles me. His morally backrupt, neo-con fascist, hate filled, bigoted babbling makes any normal person throw up. And yes you can quote me.


  11. Guido the Loving OBGYN Says:

    Never heard of him.


  12. fletc3her Says:

    Ahh, what pseudonyms does Glenn Beck use when he trolls the site?

    I just can’t figure out why Headline News hired this idiot to host a show. It appears to be an attempt to secure Fox News viewers by being even more right-wing than Fox News, but it really just tarnishes the reputation of CNN. Headline News should be a news channel, it should not be an outlet for shock jocks.

    Haven’t watched MSM News in 6 years and probably never will again. It’s a dying genre. Especially since most of these “news’ shows have nothing to do with actually delivering real news. On a side note I’d probably spit in this asshat’s face if given the chance.

    No doubt, some of that infamous “yellow urinalism” we’ve been told about, eh?


  16. Cappy Says:

    Who loves Glenn?

    That’s easy: Glenn.


  17. A Patriot Acting Says:

    So?


  18. robertoroberto Says:

    I see his bum surgery hasn’t impeded his ability as a “thinker”


  19. Lungman424 Says:

    Not only is everything above about him is true..he’s pretty damn ugly too!!! I mean who cuts his hair anyway?


  20. Freedom Rebel Says:

    Beck says “that there are people that loath him.” (Hard to believe) They are sharing this through the internet, so he is bring people together through technology. (Give me a break, I think loath is to mild of a term) A letter he received that said death threat is just a way of playing hard to get. (You wish)

    This coming from the man that ranted at Wal-Mart for backing down on their lawsuit and called all of us blackmailers. Glenn how can you hate Polar Bears. What did they ever do to you??

    If your reading this Glenn please quit your day job. Preferably find one that doesn’t subject all of us to any of your opinions. PLEASE, Pretty Please…


  21. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    THat was bum surgery… it was BRAIN surgery… they simply had to go in on that end to even find the damned thing (his brain)…


  22. Zappatero Says:

    hey Glenn, suk me!


  23. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    Meant to say, That WASN’T bum surgery…


  24. Wayne Says:

    Glen, I would love to have a battle of wits with you, here on this blog, but you appear to be unarmed.
    Like a majority of the trolls.


  25. Keith H. Says:

    If they need to get a confession from an innocent detainee, just make him watch glnn bic.


  26. bentley1 Says:

    Message to
    Beck:
    Why don’t you just ###$$$&&&^^^, you really are beyond help.


  27. Winski Says:

    Did his two-year-old nephew teach him how to use the computer??? Naa… he just made all this up like he does everything else!! LOL!!!


  28. Freedom Rebel Says:

    Technology is not at the point were we can successfully do brain transplants. Glenn’s in dire need, maybe we should sign him up for future research studies.


  29. RUCerious Says:

    When did Ben Gleck stop beating his gay lover?

    There, now you got some attention. Happy?


  30. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    What is Glenn trying to convey in that picture?

    “And the last one was THIIIIS big”????


  31. deebaser Says:

    Oh why can’t we get a higher quality of troll on this site.

    Glenn Beck is just another Budget O’Reilly. His TV program will no doubt soon go the way of ‘Tucker’. I anticipate he’ll flee back to radio, which he has the perfect face for.


  32. BamaGuy Says:

    CNN discredits itself by giving the likes of Glenn Beck a show of his own. Glenn Beck is NOT a journalist… his show is not about news, it is about controversy, outrageous unsupportable pronouncements and most of all RATINGS… The show is there because CNN only cares about pulling viewers from Fox News and getting higher prices for commercials. Ten years ago I trusted CNN… those days are long gone.


  33. L. Hussein Annie Says:

    Dear Glennie has all the intelligence of a brick, the charm of a fruit fly and the charisma of a steaming pile of dog poop.

    And that’s on a good day.

    And yes, Glen, you may quote me.

    ~ Leftside Hussein Annie (<– be sure to get that correct, ok?)


  34. A Patriot Acting Says:

    Now that CNN has hired Tony Snowjob they really have no use for a third rate neocon whannabe. Better get your resume up to date, Glen. Maybe you can get a job over at Fox as Bill-o’s intern.


  35. Witch1 Says:

    Doe’s anyone here even watch this gas bag Beck? I don’t…Once was enough…There is no new’s there just me,me,me from a reformed drunk or reich winged propaganda spewing nut job his opinion’s….Every one know’s reformed drunk’s killed all their brain cell’s long ago and none grow back..This specamin of something human is flawed…Don’t watch these waste of time show’s, like Springer all drama and crap…Moving on to another thread, already gave the crack pot more time than he deserves….Blessings


  36. oldtree Says:

    Pretending to understand the tubes now. Is there nothing they can’t do with cybernetics these days? They prop it up and make it seem animated on the small screen, but anyone can see it is is neither human or sentient.


  37. hanshiro Says:

    It’s sympathetic vibration theory: When there is a leader/public figure who is so frightfully idiotic and incompetent, that vibration sets up a harmoniousness among other incompetent, insecure, boob-like figures. This harmony enables emergent tendencies and creates dissonance for competent, credible journalism.

    In other words, bush begets reflective idiocy in the ‘mainstream.’ Beck, et. al. is the natural and inevitable result, like rat populations exploding in the wake of filth.


  38. RUCerious Says:

    WitchyOne, at least on Jerry Springer you get to see some hillbilly titties once in a while… /snark off.


  39. RUCerious Says:

    hanshiro, a very insightfull comment. Thanks. I especially liked the filth –> rats part.


  40. AlphaLiberal Says:

    Glenn Beck: ignorant tedious bore. Can’t work up an emotion about him, but for CNN for putting such clowns on, I have scorn.

    Beck often spews falsehoods and does it with a snide and wholly undeserved arrogance.


  41. Wayne Says:

    deebaser Says:

    Oh why can’t we get a higher quality of troll on this site.

    I think a “high quality” troll may be a myth, like the loch ness monster and compassionate conservatives.


  42. watchout5 Says:

    Glenn, I’m worried
    Please lay off the drugs
    Get some help


  43. DwH Says:

    Hanshiro, you should have your own television program. Science is fascinating and provides truth, despite what the rightwingers believe.


  44. Whyputaname Says:

    The one thing I have noticed about the Right-Wing people in media. They are totally lost, because they really don’t have a candidate to stand behind. They sound a little depressed over McCain.


  45. monkeywrench Says:

    I actually find Glen Beck somewhat entertaining, funny at times. Entertainment/Comedy/Semi-news (I actually agree with him on some things), if you look at his show through that lens then he’s a hoot. If not, my suggestion is, don’t get your panties in a twist, stop watching.


  46. Zooey Says:

    Beck should have Doug Feith on his show. They could have a contest to see who is the Stupidest F_cking Guy on the Planet!! Or, an “I Love Me More” fest.


  47. freeman Says:

    That this fools show passes as a news program is an indictment against the MSM in geneal and CNN’s new line up in general .
    DEMOCRACY NOW !


  48. hanshiro Says:

    47. Zooey Says:

    Beck should have Doug Feith on his show. They could have a contest to see who is the Stupidest F_cking Guy on the Planet!!

    This could be dangerous. By combining these two, the resulting black hole of imbecility could threaten the very plane of existence as we know it. The titanic vacuousness alone would globally reduce I.Q.s…


  49. Witch1 Says:

    Good post #38 and Yep! to your comment RUCerious…Good to read you here…Hope all is well for you RUCerious and Lady Z…..We have sunshine for the moment……Blessings


  50. christopher wiwi Says:

    Just another Reich Wing TROLL looking for attention because he did not get any from his mommy.Beck is as good a journalist as DUBYA is president. This TROLL is another boot licking neocon who hates as much as anyone on the REICH.


  51. Witch1 Says:

    OT. Sorry….Anyone know about the hired cargo ship of our’s that shot at an Iran boat today.? OpEd new’s had a few line’s on it…Sorry I must leave…Blessings

    April 25th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    You’re right, I hadn’t thought how dangerous Beck & Feith in one spot, thinking the same things, might be. Best not to move forward with said ideas.

    Hanshiro, you have saved the universe!!


  53. RUCerious Says:

    I’m going to recommend to C(orporateWhore)N(ot)N(ews) that they equip the Ben Gleck set with gigantic mirrors on all sides of the host.
    That way, he’d get to see himself 360 degrees, and they’d block the cameras. Ratings would definitely go up.


  54. kelso Says:

    Well he IS a transparent political hack, whether or not he’s paid-off as part of a C.I.A. psy-ops program doesn’t really matter. If the C.I.A. were paying him, they wouldn’t be getting much value for thier domestic propaganda funds.

    Okay TRoS, I bow down before you. This is genius.


  58. gmorristwn Says:

    Still trying to figure out how to tie him to WWI…thinking Kevin Bacon could connect him to Gavrilo Princip in a couple degrees.


  59. Freakaloin Says:

    lol i think i said that about beck on some comments somewhere maybe it was me. anyways u wonder why these morons have shows and keep em and get renewed contracts and such. it’s almost like someone up above is guiding their careers…like the uhm…cia?…lol?


  60. Buckie Boy Says:

    Conservative humor….lame-O.

    Beck is an idiot who loves to eat poop.

    There, hope you’re reading this Glenn.


  61. gah Says:

  62. Shayne Says:

    It isn’t the CIA it’s the COD, Confederacy of Dunces. Only guys who fit the physical description of Ignatius J. Reilly are allowed in. That includes, Beck, Limbaugh and Rove although they don’t have the intellectual level of Ignatius.


  63. Alecto Says:

    I THOUGHT SO!!!

    Beck can’t read and needs to have a moronic 28%er to read the Internets for him. What a stupid fu(king traitorous fool.
    Fu(k You Beckm you piece of shit traitor.


  64. Alecto Says:

    Beck can only cum thinking of the hits TP gets vs the piece of shit site he has someone else cobble together because he CANNOT READ. You stupid fu(king kunt dunce Traitor.

  67. republicanSScareme Says:

    “Who Loves Glenn?”

    The real tragedy is that that question was first asked by his Mother.
