Shep Smith Mocks ‘Glenn Beck Friday’: ‘I Don’t Even Know What The Heck The Thing Is’
Shep Smith Mocks ‘Glenn Beck Friday’: ‘I Don’t Even Know What The Heck The Thing Is’
Tonight, Glenn Beck is hosting a life special to assure his conservative followers, “You are not alone.” While purporting to promote the special, Fox’s Shep Smith repeatedly mocked Beck and the program, admitting that although he watches Beck’s show, he doesn’t listen to it. Smith also pointed to a giant satellite truck parked outside and wondered if it was for Beck’s “ego.” Chris Wallace told Smith he must be jealous:
SMITH: Do you even understand this Glenn Beck Friday? Because I really don’t.
WALLACE: Well, I do, and what pains me — and you know, Shep, how highly I respect you — is you seem upset by Glenn Beck Friday.
SMITH: Upset?!
WALLACE: I mean, Glenn is a meteor here at Fox News–
SMITH: He is the greatest star of all time!
WALLACE: And you should be happy for his success–
SMITH: I am here to worship him.
WALLACE: –and you seem to be begrudging — you’re begrudging him his success.
“We are here to celebrate, worship, and adore,” Smith told Wallace. Watch a compilation of Smith’s mockery:
Smith jokingly declared that Beck is “bigger than O’Reilly.” Wallace encouraged Smith to be more fawning of Beck: “I for one am on the Glenn Beck bandwagon and I advise you to join it as well.”

– - Geeze, it’s like celebrating Bill Lumbergh Friday. Yeah, that’d be greaaaaaaate.
March 13th, 2009 at 5:54 pmHey that’s right – we’re surrounded by “patriot cells” as of today. Glenn “Red Dawn” Beck and President of Texas Chuck Norris are supposed to have unleashed a maelstrom of Rand-y Objectivism on us all today, to teach us what we’ll get for experimenting with socialism (and/or masturbation).
How’s it going out there, others? Any skirmishes to report?
I haven’t seen any of them yet, but they’re probably wearing some camo, so I’m keeping both eyes trained on my perimeter…
March 13th, 2009 at 5:55 pmdamn, that wasn’t too bad to a Fox dude!
March 13th, 2009 at 5:56 pmSMITH:
Umm, Schlep Smith dear,
March 13th, 2009 at 5:59 pmFeck is simply exemplifying FOXPRAVDA morality, babe!
Ok this is going to PI*S off Rush and there will be HE*L to pay. How dare you conservative worship anyone but Lord Limbaugh.
March 13th, 2009 at 5:59 pmGiven the Fox News corpo-cock forever in his mouth, it’s a wonder I can understand what Chris Wallace ever says.
Chris’s message? “Don’t be mean to Glenn!”
March 13th, 2009 at 6:00 pmI’ve never listened to Beck, but he sounds like he is part of a posse that is to the “news” what Team B was to intelligence. That satellite truck could be a liberal brainwashing device, ya know.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:04 pm.
Schlep Smith in the video said:
So it’s great, but you don’t sample it?
That’s like proclaiming that dog poop is GR-E-E-E-A-T(!), Try it, eat it…
March 13th, 2009 at 6:08 pm… Because I don’t eat it or smell it.
Hate and stupidity sells well on Fox…
…go figure.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:09 pmtombaker, I saw something on a bulletin board about “We Surround Them”, or “We Have Them Outnumbered”, or some shit like that, is that what you’re referring to?
Are these clowns for real? Is Utah threatening to secede again? Don’t park your wagons in the middle of Mountain Meadow, the Mormons will have their way with you!
Beck is funnier than a good South Park episode, but he thinks he is real. Delusional much?
March 13th, 2009 at 6:11 pmWALLACE: I mean, Glenn is a meteor here at Fox News–
As in a flaming piece of space junk? Everybody look up and say oooooo while it burns up on entry. Then get back to real life.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:11 pmHaven’t been surrounded yet but then again if these objectivists actually read their Ayn Rand (which is punishment enough) they would figure out that they are supposed to go on strike, withdraw and find their little island on which to be perfect.
I like that idea. I am sure the rest of us can muddle through somehow and would love to see how all of the winger talking heads and their followers would do together in close quarters with nobody to wait on them.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:14 pmpaleolib, I saw a show on NG or History the other night about how Krakatoa might be available again.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:21 pmdue to Beck’s rating success, his show will be re-aired each night at 2AM EST.
– - Beck is going after the Psycho Killer audience.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:21 pmSmith: Shep, I am advising you to drink this Beck-flavored Kool-Aid. You’ve been showing a disturbing amount of independent thought for a FOX pundit. You are not quite fawning enough towards Beck and O’Reily. And of course you must kiss the butt of Lord Limbaugh.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:21 pmThis was too funny! Shep Smith’s mocking of Beck was surprising but good to see. Hope he keeps that up. I’m shocked that people even watch dumba$$ Beck’s show. But then again, people actually listen to Limbaugh – wonders never cease!
March 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pmCan Faux News become anymore irrelavent?
March 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pmOops, not Smith above. Meant it to be Wallace. Whatever, either works.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pmFox News…fair and balanced. Fair as in hand waggle, so-so and balanced as in on the edge of a very deep precipice? And the balance isn’t so very good. Its a looooooooong drop.

March 13th, 2009 at 6:37 pmEven my father has fallen for Glen Becks evil rhetoric. Although, he admits Beck is inflamatory, he agrees with everything Beck says. It is very depressing.
March 13th, 2009 at 6:38 pmWhere’s the post about Tom Ammiano introducing the “legalize pot in CA” bill?!? We need that money, man!
March 13th, 2009 at 6:40 pmAnd FoxNews will announce the “resignation” of Shepard Smith tonight..
March 13th, 2009 at 6:42 pmArch – since when does “the wild side” = the breakfast buffet at Crackerbarrel?

March 13th, 2009 at 7:10 pmOReilly called Beck a nutcase on his show the other day.
The rightyverse is utterly fraught with chaos right now.
They’ve got NO IDEA what they’re doing (not that they ever did)
Hell – they’ve got dolts like Joe the Plumber and Archie the Nightshift Minimart Cashier tryin’ to help out.

March 13th, 2009 at 7:10 pmI am really beginning to like Shep Smith, but if he keeps this up much longer, he’s going to be looking for another job.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:10 pmBeck threatened to kill Oreilly.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:11 pmGee, I don’t know about Beck, but I certainly don’t feel alone.
Pretty sure I don’t. I have at least 69,456,896 people out there who are in the same boat as me. Probably millions more.
At least Beck knows he’s not alone if Wallace is drinking his Kool-Aid.

It’s not just depressing, it’s scary as hell. He is creating an “us against them” mentality with the skin-head types and the low IQ dittoheads (most of whom own guns) and sooner or later there is going to be blood spilled over this.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:15 pmThe Fox News operation os coming apart at the seams…
won’t be long before Rupert does a wholesale remodel on the place – he’s already told everyone there their jobs are on the line…

March 13th, 2009 at 7:16 pm#49 As we’ve surmised, Rupert is losing his waiver and Fox Noise will soon be off the air.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:17 pmA more appropriate name for it would be “freakie friday” if it has anything to do with mentally unstable Glenn Beck.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:17 pm“dullard 1, this is Dullard Leader…
…if you want me to attend your gunswap and pancake breakfast Sunday, you’ll need to relay me the coordinates to the Crackerbarrel on secure channel Delta…over….”
March 13th, 2009 at 7:18 pmWhen everyone witnesses Glenn Beck being restrained for the needed psychiatric help under the Baker Act, I think they’ll all finally “get it”. Either that or his polarizing, violence-inciting rhetoric will get his ass slung into jail under the Patriot Act.
Either way, Glenn Beck is not long for the airwaves. He’s either in a looney bin or prison and very soon.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:19 pmi think jk’s working his way up the threads..
should be here momentarily, so we might want to go ahead and open some windows, if you know what i mean
March 13th, 2009 at 7:26 pmMaybe Chris has a woody for Glenn? Anyone that can fawn all over for a lowlife, liar like Glenn Beck has to be in love with him. Tell us Chris. Tell us how much you love Glenn Beck.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:27 pmIt’s not just depressing, it’s scary as hell. He is creating an “us against them” mentality with the skin-head types and the low IQ dittoheads (most of whom own guns) and sooner or later there is going to be blood spilled over this.
Especially with the growing number of Bushvilles around the country, stuffed with unemployed, and working poor. Members of motel families, forced into dangerous living conditions by a recent eviction, are also fertile ground for recruitment into a militia, or other hate group.

Hi Archie B.
… Got an answer yet?
.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:35 pmGlenn’s definitely the kid who’s the Big Bully while no grown ups are around, then cries his little eyes out when they show up to sort things out, to keep himself out of trouble.
A bobble-headed stereoptypical juvenile defective, with graying hair and big-kid clothes.
The people who watch his show regularly should be under some kind of surveillance.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:44 pmGreat.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:44 pmMy god this guy is really a loon. He starts choking up and crying because he loves his country so much, then he goes to one of the gatherings for the 912 project, and guess what? There’s nobody there. Not one person showed up for the big gathering. Get the popcorn out folks, this is going to be fun.

Archie B, if Glenn Beck and little chucky Norris are the people you are depending on to save the country, you had better start digging that bunker of yours a little deeper.
March 13th, 2009 at 7:53 pmThe fact that Glenn Beck has a show tells me that the public schools and home schools have failed us.

You know that Chris Wallace was the hall monitor who tattled on everyone to the principal — probably all the way through college. What a tool!
“You’re just jealous of his flaming success. That just sounds like you’re jealous!” [flash fake smile which makes me hang on to my wallet] “I’m on the bandwagon! I’m a good company boy! Please don’t let the principal to that to me again. My bottom hurts!”

As Americans we need to be very worried about the radical element of the Republican Party. They really do feel like they have their backs up against a wall. Like a wounded animal, they are at their most dangerous right now.
It’s fairly obvious the Republican Party is turning on itself, searching for a scapegoat for their epic failure. They preach fear and hate, and they are well armed. Their politics is more fascist than conservative, and we can see them already fighting election results.
America could well be in for a civil war, as the Republican minority shrinks well below the level of filibuster. We are already seeing unprecedented numbers of threats against the president, and the violent rhetoric from the wingnuts is going full steam.
March 13th, 2009 at 11:07 pmand for the record, regardless of what you heard on the internet, Chuck F-ing Norris is a washed up old pussy.

March 13th, 2009 at 11:12 pmI am not really afraid so much for myself. If there is a civil war, I am cannon fodder. But I can think of no better way to die than in the fight against the fascism of the Republican Party.
I know we have the numbers, and I know we are on the side of morality, but I fear for our nation. The Republicans have torn this country in two, and the potential civil war is going to be just as bad (or worse) than our first civil war.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:02 amI never remember the difference between a meteor, a meteorite and a meteoroid.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:05 amA regional civil war doesn’t sound the slightest bit doable to me. We are possibly in for mob violence and riots. Texas does have a lot of military bases, but most of the equipment is in Iraq and Afghanistan, and scattered worldwide on bases that individual states cannot gain control of, nes pas?
I picture the federal government bringing back a lot of equipment and troops real fast to stop an insurrection. NATO might even go for it—and they have all kinds of aircraft that can easily traverse geographical boundaries. It’s the last thing I want to see, but I can’t even see a “civil war” between the troops amounting to much. Can’t see the police force taking sides and going commando either, especially under such auspicious leadership as Chuck Norris and the wingnut peanut galleries.
We don’t have enough well-defined, distinct, land-based communites to form communities, much less armies that can draw boundaries and fight protracted battles for territory.
Hope I’m not wrong. A few weeks of looking like Beirut in the seventies is the worst I would expect. That’s bad enough, and totally unnecessary.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:18 amAnyone know who Bob Chapman is?
March 14th, 2009 at 12:24 amSmith tells it like it is – the emperor has no clothes.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:43 amYes.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:55 amNo.
– Why not. Might you expound upon your thoughts Mr Prostitute?
March 14th, 2009 at 12:55 amWho is Mr. Prostitute? It can’t be me. I’m a Ms. and I’m not a prostitute. Strictly amateur.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:58 amNo, wiley. It’s fred garvin, Male Prostitute.
That’s who dbadass directed his comment toward.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:00 amA couple years ago Shep Smith made fun of O’Reilly’s war on Easter too.

March 14th, 2009 at 1:39 amthanks man. I appreciate the solid.
obviously raplh should be ralph. Still it would be easier if it was raplh.

OH MY.
OJ, OJ, OJ, OJ
OJ, O’Riley, and Keith!
That’s about as serious as I’ll ever get about this, garvin.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:53 amHating the hateful isn’t hate. It’s self preservation.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:53 amO.K. Let’s consolidate the threads.

Gulls have been called white crows. Like most birds, they go where the food is. I can’t blame any critter for doing the same.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:56 amSomeone must have slipped Shepard Smith some truth serum.

Did you hear the exchange between Smith and Beck after Wallace? Of course not because tp doesn’t want you to hear them JOKING with each other after.
Have you seen the HATE that is being directed at Shep on the FAUX website or Freeperville? Joke, or not, he challenged a hero of the Reichwhiners. The problem is that authoritarians are not thoughtful or subtle. They don’t do sarcasm. Poor Shep better tuck his family, assuming he has one, into their flak-jackets for awhile. Becky’s friends might decide to do something drastic.

I heard a young man suggest a really interesting concept recently.
He wondered why you never hear of angry hateful folks probably in the dead of night like all things that come out only in the dark spray painting Stars of David and upside down crosses all over churches
He had numerous hypotheses. Some of my favorite were.
1) This might be a really good way to focus attention on this odd dichotomy.
March 14th, 2009 at 2:25 am2) Christian adolescent males are way more anger and frustrated than all those other crazy teens what with their zany goings on and all
3)If I ask my father in law he will blame the media. Then he will imply that somehow he knows better for reasons no one but he seems to understand
Ya know, dbadass?
Questions have more meaning than answers. Answers are, by definition, simple and limited. Questions are complicated, subtle, and profound. I value questions above answers.
BTW. In case you lost track, here’s the link I provided earlier plus another from Barb Forrest. She’s my newest hero. I’m sure she doesn’t offer anything you don’t know but, she does it so very well. She’s one of those people who makes her sentences mean as much as most people’s paragraphs. I know that she will inspire some of my future arguments.

March 14th, 2009 at 2:53 amWhen this guys show started airing we thought it was comedy. This was 10 years ago or so. But he never got to a punch line, ever. We figured out he was inhaling from the same septic tank as limpblah but started and ended his sentences differently.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:34 amYeah, beck fraud friday.Why not? Just another reason to laugh.

March 14th, 2009 at 5:48 amBeck illustrates and exemplifies what I call “Woody’s Corollary” to Poe’s Law:
Without an obvious cue, it is impossible to distinguish the ravings of the average Xian/Frlying Monkey/Wack-loon from the efforts of an passable parodist…
March 14th, 2009 at 10:11 amCrooks and Liars has the tape of the Glenn Beck fiasco. He’s weeping like a 12 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers concert.
If that is the face of the We Surround You militia, the leftists don’t have a worry in the world from these blubbering, maudlin nitwits.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:56 pmSo, who are the wangers supposed to idolize? Bill ‘Falafel’ Oreilly, Rush ‘Hillbilly Heroin’ Limbaugh, Michael ‘Hip Hop’ Steele, Glenn ‘Dr Jack Daniels’ Beck, Anne ‘Impecatory Prayer’ Coulter, Or Michelle ‘Mangalangadingdong’ Malkin?
March 14th, 2009 at 12:56 pmI don’t watch television, Fred. I’m not an Olberman fan. Jim Hightower is more my style.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:44 pmI love that conservative news commentary brutally defeats Liberal news commentary on every medium (except blogs maybe).
March 14th, 2009 at 6:02 pmThe Dittohead republicians left this country in a mess. FOX “News”channel is re-arranging the deck chairs on their own Titantic with Beck and company. I smile with smug satisifaction. How can you take any of these egocentrics seriously. For my money the handwriting is on the wall. I won’t waste any of my time on these clonws!
March 14th, 2009 at 8:29 pmSomewhere, in an alternate universe, a doctor is preparing to give Glenn Beck a lobotomy.

Yeah Churchill wasnt the font of all knowledge. Noam Chomsky is a RADICAL lefty and in his seventies. He is also a Nobel Prize winner for linguistics. That is one of those things that seems clever when it is said but if when thought about is just plain stupid. Sophistry.
