So, if someone who believes that everything Beck which says is true is an idiot, and Beck believes that everything that he says is true, then Beck is either an idiot, a liar, or both.

Only an idiot would even listen to his show.

Yes he did but he is obviously the lead idiot. The corollary to his statement would be: If you say what I say on the air, then you must be an idiot.

Q U E S T I O N:

Did Glen Beck just call himself an idiot…
… Or just his viewers?

My friend will be so disappointed if Glenn is not serious. He’s already stockpiled 50 pounds of rice.

Beck may be an idiot, but I think his bank account says different. More like selling your soul to the devil. The interesting thing is this Murdoch wack job is adding a disclaimer to his show. And who says the O’Reilly factor isn’t making the Murdoch crowd a little bit nervous?
Life can be sweet!!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but, on this one issue, I agree with Beck.

Thankfully I don’t watch Beck and therefore by his own definition, I must be a genius.

Let’s take it a step farther. If you believe any of the crap that Beck spews on his show, you’re an idiot.

You can create an entire stand-up routine loosely based on Jeff Foxworthy’s material: “If you think Rush Limbaugh isn’t a self-serving gas bag, you’re an idiot”

And so forth…

“He added later: “I say on the air all time, ‘if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.’“”

Glenn Beck has finally said something I can agree with!

misscoleopteramolly Says:

But who or what is he trying to draw our attention away from?

The fact that we are the only developed country without national health insurance,…..

The fact that our CEOs make about 400 times what their average workers do…..

The fact that higher education is practically Free for qualified students in Europe…..

The fact that most poor people in America can’t see a dentist…

The fact that We have troops in about 170 other countries…

The fact that we spend more on Defense than the rest of the World Combined…

I could go on…but you get my drift….

First O’Reilly calls his enemies insects and now Beck calls his allies idiots.

Way to go!

Does Beck mean to say that he’s an entertainer, or a rodeo clown? Does he know that rodeo clowns aren’t there to entertain the audience, but to distract bulls to keep them from trampling on the cowboys they toss? Or perhaps he does know, and being a rodeo clown IS his role. But who or what is he trying to draw our attention away from? The current administration?

If his program is intended to be parody or satire, a la The Daily Show, he needs to present it like that. Jon Stewart doesn’t keep it a secret that his show is “fake news”.

But I suspect Beck is just trying to cover up that he, himself is an idiot.

Mr. Beck says he believes every word he says on his TV show…
He added later: “ ‘if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.’“

That’s hilarious, but true– he called himself an idiot! What an idiot!

The sad part about this is that he’s right when he says that people who believe him are idiots. There are millions who do so.

Yeah, Nutjob Clown Boy, anyone who listens to you is AN IDIOT…

…not just the ones who believe you. but all of them…

…Beck’s show is like watching WWE and listening to your brain cells disappear.
