Beck claims he ‘hated’ Bush for starting the bailouts.
Today on his Fox News show, Glenn Beck tried to show that his criticism is principled and bipartisan. He said that while President Bush did have czars, they weren’t “crazy people” — like President Obama’s appointees. To show that he doesn’t see political party, he pointed to his dislike of Bush’s $700 billion bailout:
He [Obama] will say that Bush started us down the path toward socialism, and he’d be right by that. Bush started the crazy spending. He would be right again. Bush started the bailouts. Yes, he did — hated him for it.
Watch it:
While Beck did come to have reservations about Bush’s bailout (because it allowed the Treasury Secretary to “expand this in any direction he feels is necessary”), he actually initially supported it. What he said on Sept. 22, 2008:
But these are anything but normal times. I thought about it an awful lot this weekend, and while it takes everything in me to say this, I think the bailout is the right thing do.
The “REAL STORY” is the $700 billion that you’re hearing about now is not only, I believe, necessary, it is also not nearly enough, and all of the weasels in Washington know it.
In that same segment, Beck called Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson “immortal.”

In fairness, I believe that Beck has a lot of self-hatred as well…

Shouldn’t that be “immoral”?
September 21st, 2009 at 6:03 pmBeck talks out both sides, repug style.
September 21st, 2009 at 6:04 pmOh Really? Wow what a switch. Less then a year ago, he was prasing them. What a moron, can’t even keep his own lies in line. Deceiver!! Anti-Christ! REPENT.

September 21st, 2009 at 6:05 pmBeck is now a criminal. He should be arrested and incarserated.

September 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pmDon’t these guys realize that anyone with a computer can expose everything they claim? Oh, thats right. These people watch Faux News. They are the most intellectually laziest people in the world. And the most gullible, fearful, bigoted, paranoid….
September 21st, 2009 at 6:17 pmbecause beck is such an expert on what constitutes a “crazy” person.
September 21st, 2009 at 6:18 pmBeck called Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson “immortal.”
To be fair, Beck just meant that he wanted to decapitate Paulson with a sword.
September 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pmBush’s appointees weren’t “crasy people”, are you sure?
Last night on SNF all I could think is why is that ahole not in jail – and Laura – sorry, I hate her too. And some rednecked complained last week about Olbermann, and we have to watch in international war criminal whooping it up with Madden. By the way, just how red was his face? There’s only one way I know to get it that color.

There can be only one, Chyron… there can be only one.
September 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pmAny of Bush’s Czars would have been a neo-con like he and Cheney. So in my mind, that makes their ideology worse than anything this nut can call anyone in the Obama administration.
And like his buddy Sean, Beck started harping on the Bush administration at the TAIL END of the presidency. Too little…waaaaay too late pal. 7 1/2 years of silence doesn’t make up for 6 months of seeing the light…
September 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pmGlenn Blech: ‘Believe me ‘America’, you have to belieeeve me…..’
September 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pmLOL! I just found out Glenn Beck told Katie Couric hr thinks McCain would have been worse than Obama AND Hillary! This guy is all over the place. That’s the problem with pyhcos. They are unpredictable.

September 21st, 2009 at 6:39 pmSo, how does a government loan = socialism ?
If that’s the case, then America should stop lending money to
September 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pmall those college students.
Glenn Becks opinions are determined in the following manner:
Step 1 – Sticks finger up his ass (to check for hemorrhoids)
Step 2 – Sticks finger in air (to determine wind direction)
He’s a multi-tasker.

September 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pmLOL!
Glenn Beck was also pro-tort-cases when he had 8 hemorrhoids removed from his arse a year or so ago and he also said, “it’s the law!!!” when talking about the CEO’s being able to get their $10,000,000/bonuses and giving $1,000,000/each to the 400 AIG employees of their financial department that caused the company to crash under a heap of CDS/hedgefunds.
See?
September 21st, 2009 at 7:16 pmGlenn Beck also hated the 9/11 families who spoke out against Bush.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pmAnyone who expects anything rational or intelligent to come out of Bleck’s pie hole either watches too much Faux or had their head run over by a large truck as a small child.
He is Darth Chainy’s illegitimate child, still trying to get daddy to buy him his Red Ryder BB gun.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pmGlenn Beck’s most favorite thing to do is in one sentence say he’s against violent militias overtaking any government and then he’ll spend one hour of his show talking about a French book on the very same subject. He’ll then say, “Go buy the book! It’s fabulous! Oh, but remember, no violent overthrows of Obama’s Socialist/Communist/Marxist/Fascist/All-Ists Administration, okay? Remember. I did tell you that. *wink wink*”.

By the way, this morning I noticed Bleck had completely ignored President Obama saying the word “alongside” in the quote by Obama talking to ACORN employees back in 2007 that Bleck read on the air today. President Obama was saying to those ACORN employees(paraphrasing), “I remember many years working ALONGSIDE ACORN”. In other words, President Obama in Chicago worked for another organization that focused on votes/voting. HE DID NOT WORK FOR ACORN. As a lawyer, Obama represented ACORN in ONE SUIT:

My oh my how Glenn Bleck likes to leave out this info!
You lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also today he said President Obama chose to move to Chicago because of ACORN (Obama said he moved to Chicago for the organizing opportunities…..not specifically TO WORK ACORN!). Another lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Glenny. As a Mormon and as this church’s mascot, he has to lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pmI don’t know who’s a bigger liar: Beck or Wilson.

Interesting hypothesis… care to comment on how Beck was for the bailouts before he was against them?
September 21st, 2009 at 7:36 pmSince Glenn Beck is the National Socialist Spokesperson For The Mormon Church, we now know the Mormons:
Believe Obama is the anti-Christ
September 21st, 2009 at 7:39 pmAre taking up arms against Obama
Hate the 9/11 families
Hate the people of NYC
Have no problem with Beckhitler working in the Communist Bastion of NYC (Rockefeller Center)

Liberals just hate beck because hes a libertarian.

September 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pmThe pot smoking kind or the tax whining kind? I am amused by the superior part. Will you be defending that or is it just some sort of weird indulgence….
Beck initially supported Bush’s bank bailout like he intially supported the Patriot Act (just as long as it had some sunset clauses in it). Now that Obama is the President, Beck finds himself against the Patriot Act.
For a supposed libertarian, Beck has quite a knack for backing big government programs and intrusions on our constitutional rights.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:23 pmBeck and Linbaugh are defining projections of the Republican Party. There are plenty of others to fill in the gaps.
I suspect the Republicans are too clueless to pick an articulate spokesman for their party, so they will take anyone they can get.
I can’t imagine my party’s front men being any of these clowns but these are desperate time for the Republicans!!!

If you dye it with beet juice, you can get that color, but it’s a lot harder to get it that nice even tone that way than it is with autoerotic asphyxiation.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:55 pmBeck is a lunatic. Can we just leave it at that?
I’m tired of discussing him with my friend who seems to continue to drift to the right, embracing all this lunacy. I’m tired of discussing Beck at all. He brings nothing to the discussion.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:15 pmWhenever somebody mentions Beck (or anyone on Faux, for that matter) as the source of their “information,” I just terminate the conversation with “Oh, for minute there I thought you wanted to be taken seriously.”
September 21st, 2009 at 10:26 pmglen beck is pure entertainment. it actually works, he is talked about everywhere. do you really think those crying moments are serious? if they are, he is disillusion. fox goes for ratings, these guys will say anything to get people talking about them.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:20 pmit’s an act, alright… but bleck is a really bad actor.

September 22nd, 2009 at 5:29 amBeck is a lapsed catholic turned mormon whose mother and brother committed suicide (sadly for us Glenn didn’t get the hint). ALL you need to know about the Mormons you’ll find if you google “Mountain Meadows Massacre.” No wonder he’s a liar and crazy as an outhouse rat.
