On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) mocked Glenn Beck, stating that “only in America can you make that much money crying.” Graham added that Beck is “not aligned with any party as far as I can tell. He’s aligned with cynicism. And there’s always been a market for cynicism.” On his radio show yesterday, Beck responded to Graham, saying that Graham’s disdain was “a badge of honor”:
BECK: And yet Lindsey Graham comes out and Lindsey Graham gives a talk yesterday to, I guess this is a bunch of Republicans he’s speaking to? There are a lot of things I’ll wear as a badge of honor. Lindsey Graham hating my guts is probably the highest honor I’ve ever received. Judge me by my friends and judge me by my enemies. Thank you, Lindsey Graham.
Listen here:
Anybody hear anything about the investigation into Beck raping and murdering that poor girl back in the 90s? Has Beck said anything about this yet?
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:05 amLindsey Graham hating my guts is probably the highest honor I’ve ever received.
And probably the highest honor you’re ever going to receive.

Fritz says:
Anybody hear anything about the investigation into Beck raping and murdering that poor girl back in the 90s?
As yet, no investigation has been launched into whether Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
.
Fritz says:
Has Beck said anything about this yet?
Glenn Beck has neither confirmed or denied that persistent allegation that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
But for some reason, this rumor (that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990) continues to come up in Google searches for his name. So there must be something to it.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:12 amBeck can’t even stick to facts regarding a member of his own party. Graham never said he hated Beck.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:16 amGraham offers some mild criticism and all of a sudden Ben Gleck thinks Graham is his newest enemy. Everybody is out to get him apparently
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 amMr. Corley.
recieved should be *received* in the headline.
before the wingnuts start.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:29 amBeck is pretty thin-skinned – but then again repugniscum can all dish it out, none of them can take it.
As for the rumor — while there is no evidence that he committed a crime, shouldn’t Beck be asked to prove that the rumor is false? Isn’t that what Fox does? Don’t they begin with “some people say….” and then demand that the subject prove the gossip is not true?
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 amWell Glenn, the majority of this country hates your guts. The only people love you are the neck drooling knuckle dragging right wing fringe. If I were you, I would be embarrassed!

except when there might be a word that breaks the rule — our grammar and spelling rules are pretty tricky.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:43 amWho wants to bet Glenn Beck is the one who pushed his mother overboard as a young boy that resulted in her death? I mean, really, Beck today is a madman who believes everyone is out to get him, so nothing at this point would surprise me! The guilt he’s locked up inside him is now coming out. He’s lashing out at everything good to make himself feel better and to make sure that the country that is left after he destroys it is one that better reflects his insides.
He scares me. He scares America. He should be in an insane asylum. The End.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:43 amBeck can’t even stick to facts regarding a member of his own party. Graham never said he hated Beck.
What Graham did was dismiss him. Being dismissed is emasculating; being hated implies you have power. Beck therefore had to invent the “he hates me” strawman.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 amThere’s a vicious rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. I don’t claim to know the truth — only that the rumor floating around saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 should be discussed. So I’m going to do my part to try and help get to the bottom of this.
Why won’t Glenn Beck deny these allegations? I’m not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 – in fact, I think he didn’t! But I can’t help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won’t he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 amGlenn, Sen. Gramm never said he hated your guts. Why the leap? He said you were aligned with cynicism. He never said anything about your guts.
For someone to be on a continual rant and chalkboarding up bizarre theories of some master plan it’s only natural that the they would be associated with being a cynic.
And to create a badge of honor for something that wasn’t there to begin with just proves how desperate you are to keep your ratings.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:50 amTammy Glenn Becker is milking his drug addict/alcoholic excuses all the way to the bank.
He has a convenient niche, the anger of the SORE LOSERS, and a dramatic tale to tell, someone in Hollywood should be already writing this one; The LOSER who despite all odds MAKES MILLIONS and takes on the *corrupt* establishment. The suicidal DRUG ADDICT MAVERICK who brings down Washington. NOBODY is capable of understanding the truth he brings, only a few can recognize his message.
The sht flinging Baboon has shown he has little basis for his tantrums. He outright lies to those who believe him yet he is able to manipulate them around him by playing the victim.
Now he is using the classical childish fallacy of
“You don’t LIKE ME! You are WRONG! Every body else LIKES ME! YOU ARE WRONG!”
Pity the retards who follow Tammy Glenn Becker.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:54 amI think Lou Dobbs also needs to set the record straight about being married to an illegal alien. He’s duping his viewers just like Glenn Beck is!
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:55 amThis is awesome. Beck talks about how great the band “Muse” is; by the time he gets to the 4:30 mark their manager has emailed him and demanded he retract his support of them.

October 3rd, 2009 at 10:17 amYep. I did a post back along talking about how Glenn Beck says he’s a huge fan of the band, Muse. He played part of the lyrics for the song, Uprising, and then did his usual schtick, But I don’t want you to do a violent uprising, okay?
Originally Beck said his DAUGTHER is the one who emailed him the song, Uprising, to him which means he had no idea this band existed until she did that.
BECK IS A FRAUD!
As far as his mother drowning, well….Beck continues to spread rumors that President Obama is a Kenyan, he believes Obama is the anti-Christ who is going to destroy America, he has stated he hates the 9/11 families, and hopes that someday a “Katrina” will wipe out New York City. So hey! I believe Beck was involved with his mother’s drowning and until he publicly states otherwise, I will continue to believe it.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:26 amNot bloody likely….

October 3rd, 2009 at 11:22 amI agree, Witch1, Beck is just another negative attention seeker.
Besides, this post won’t even attract any trolls willing to defend him.
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:22 amI understand why Muse didn’t want Becky Boy’s support. He perverts everything he touches. Everything. How in the H-E-double hockey puck does he know what the song means to them?
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:23 am” . . . not aligned with any party as far as I can tell?” Right. Oh, by the way Sen. Graham, there’s a Mr. Limbaugh on the phone for you–he says it’s urgent.
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:23 amSymptoms of Paranoia
The main symptom is permanent delusion. It should be kept in mind that there is delusion in schizophrenia also but in that case it is not permanent or organized. In paranoia the symptoms of delusion appear gradually, and the patient is sentimental, suspicious, irritable, introverted, depressed, obstinate, jealous, selfish, unsocial and bitter. Hence his social and family adjustment is not desirable, and while he has the highest desirable, the effort that he is prepared to expend is correspondingly little. Here the person does not acknowledge his own failures or faults, and by sometimes accepting certain qualities as belonging to himself, even when imaginary, he develops paranoia.
The “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”, fourth edition (DSM-IV), the US manual of the mental health professional; lists the following symptoms for paranoid personality disorder:
preoccupied with unsupported doubts about friends or associates
suspicious; unfounded suspicions; believes others are plotting against him/her
perceives attacks on his/her reputation that are not clear to others, and is quick to counterattack
maintains unfounded suspicions regarding the fidelity of a spouse or significant other
reads negative meanings into innocuous remarks
reluctant to confide in others due to a fear that information may be used against him/her
Kinds of paranoia
Persecutory paranoia – This is the most prevalent type of paranoia, and in this patient makes himself believe that all those around him are his enemies, bent on harming him or even taking his life. In this delusion people of an aggressive temperament often turns dangerous killers.
Delusion of Grandeur - In this patient believes himself to be, a great individual, and according to Bleuler, this delusion of grandeur accompanies a persecutory delusion.
Religious paranoia – Here the patients suffer from a permanent delusion of a primarily religious nature. He for example believes, that he is the messenger of God who has been sent to the world to propagate some religion.
Reformatory paranoia – In this the patient turns to considering himself a great reformer. He accordingly looks upon all those around him. As suffering from dangerous disease, and believes that he is their reformer and curator.
Hypochondrical paranoia – In this kind the patients believes that he is suffering from all kind of ridiculous diseases, and also that some other people are to blame for his suffering.
Treatment and Cure of Paranoia
A cure of paranoia is very difficult and it is essential that treatment should be started immediately the disease comes to be known. Once it grows on a person there is no curing to it. The chief method of curing it is the following:
Psychoanalytic method – Compared to other mental diseases, this disease does not respond immediately to psychoanalytic treatment because, being suspicious, the patient does not cooperate with the doctor. Even then, with due precaution, certain results can be achieved by employing this method.
Injection of Insulin- some patients also responds to this treatment but this cannot be said of all.
Prognosis of Paranoia
Predicting the prognosis of an individual suffering from Paranoia is quite difficult. Paranoia generally becomes a whole life or lifelong condition if there exists any underlying mental disorder, such as schizophrenia or paranoid personality disorder. It certainly and sometimes get better with some treatments or remission or with slight changes in medication. People who have symptoms of paranoia as part of another medical condition may also have a waxing and waning mental course.
Hmmmm. Doesn’t look so good for Becky’s recovery, does it? Perhaps a little prayer is in order. (snark)
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:28 amThis is what happens when you sow the seeds of hate and discontent.
Lindsey Graham and his Republican cronies didn’t mind Glenn Beck until the public perception of Beck became corrosive. The collective wisdom is to hang the guy out to dry. It appears the Republicans have a loose canon (one of many) and he is causing lots of damage.
I think old Beck should stick around at FOX and fight these Conservative backstabbers.
These guys deserve each other, and the public image is accurate, a bunch of losers!
Go Beck, go and give the Republicans hell!!!!!!
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:29 amG. Beck’s mental instability is stirring up so much muck out there.
October 3rd, 2009 at 11:33 amI recently had some landscaping material delivered and as I was
writing out the check to the trucker, he out of the blue started
ranting about Beck and that I better watch his show if I wanted to
“wake up,” and join the revolution ! In my mind I thought – this is
surreal, and was kind of shaken & speechless as he railed on. Later,
I called the owner of the place and entered an official complaint. The
secretary was incredibly GRATEFUL and stated that this person has
made several office workers CRY with his ongoing FEAR rages/rants,
and that my official complaint was the 1st to then bring him in for a
“review”. I think my instincts kicked in with this, and I was not about
to get into it with this stranger lunatic fringer – and glad I waited and
followed a more logical course. Just creepy.
Mraww! Hsss!

That’s kind of a good point. Romney is the least objectionable (aka most likely to win a general election) person they got. The rest are either way too old or completely discredited as being bugfcuk insane – Palin? Sanford? Huckabee? No way. If Beck’s still around then, he’ll be making Romney look bad by association.

But I bow to your superior clinical expertise.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:04 pmLindsey Graham enabled the power grabs, the corporatism and the extremism of Republicans and their lunatic fringe groups throughout the Bush reign of economic and political destruction. Glenn Beck is a mercenary, opportunistic career whore pretending to be whatever he has to be to make as much money as he can. Both men are self-consumed whores. They just have different objectives. Graham is a suck-up who silently acquiesced to the corruption and incompetency of George W. Bush and attempted to ride John McCain’s coattails into the White House. Glenn Beck is a carnival freak-show barker with the moral and ethics of a bloodsucking parasite preying on the ignorance, stupidity and dysfunctional psyches of America’s lunatic fringe. Who eviscerates whom is inconsequential when both deserve to be eviscerated for their conveniently self-serving and flexibly contrived opinions and values. Nothing better than watching a fight between two equally despicable frauds knowing that whatever the outcome may be, it’s a win win scenario for ethical and moral observers who believe that people should be held accountable for their dishonorable motives and loathsome complicities. It’s like watching rattlesnakes fighting over which one of them has the biggest rattle.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pmI am no fan of Lindsey Graham but Glenn Beck, you’re no Lindsey Graham. Mr. Graham had a distinguished career in the United States Air Force as an attorney and served our country with honor. Any badge of honor Mr. Graham wears is real. Yes, Mr. Beck we will judge you by the friends you keep, mostly chicken hawks, phony soldiers and shameless self promoters like yourself.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:11 pmOh, I don’t know. Showing up in your hometown to receive the key to the city and having folks show up with “change the locks” signs is a pretty high honor too.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:12 pmDear Batshit Beck,
When Graham said, “only in America can you make that much money crying,” he wasn’t expressing HATE for you.
It was CONTEMPT.
When you learn the difference between those two words, you’ll understand that contempt is SO much worse.
Love,

Instead of commenting on various postings, why aren’t you libs solving unemployment on scratch paper? Two figures indicate an unhealthy economy; negative GDP and anything that happens past noon on January 20th, 2009.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:14 pmSorry, I don’t buy the “Mormons are all bugfck”. I’ve met a lot of very decent, hard-working, nonbigoted Mormons who go out of their way to look after one another when necessary. I think their religion is a little goofy, but not a lot more goofy than other monotheisms. They have the disadvantage of not being able to bury their founders in the distant past, so it’s a lot easier to hoot at them.
Besides, I bought peaches and nectarines from a Mormon lady at her farm in Utah and those were the most incredible stone fruit I’ve ever had. Anyone who can grow fruit that good is okie dokie in my book.
October 3rd, 2009 at 12:15 pmBeck, Limbaugh and crew are seriously overrated, and gummitch explains why — with a little help from a conservative.

October 3rd, 2009 at 12:20 pmIf Beck thinks that Graham’s opinion of him are an “honor”, he should really be “honored” by my opinion.

October 3rd, 2009 at 12:54 pmIf you look at the larger perspective, the Republicans appear to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
The Republican Party can lay clam to Murdoch’s buffoons’; Rush Limbaugh; the poor civil servant hanged from a tree; the recently posted “how the military could correct the “Obama problem”; and a list a diatribes that seems endless.
There is nothing in the behavior or rhetoric of the Republicans that can be differentiated as governance.
You have to admit that anyone with half a brain would look over the Republican behavior and start worrying about the image the Republicans have projected to the country and the world. The Republicans have tapped into the worst in people and made it their hallmark. Glenn Beck is part of that projection and they own it.
Mr. Graham, you and your party have tapped into this force and now you own it. You put a foot between you and Mr. Beck where a mile was needed.
The Republicans own Glenn Beck and they are chocking on it. I have no sympathy for the Republican Party.

gummble-bee-itch says:

I’ve met lots of nice Mormons too, and I’m against picking on that religion. All religions start out bugfcuk crazy, but Mormonism is transitioning into a “mainstream/acceptable” form faster than any others I can think of in history.
I was just pointing out that all of the other likely 2012 GOP candidates besides Romney are either too old or are bugfcuk in their own right. Beck will probably stump for Romney, and thus some of his personal bugfcukery is likely to rub off on the guy.

We can’t do anything about it if the evil people win elections. The evil people win elections if we don’t stand up and call them out. They already have a platform, whether we address them or not. Beck was on the cover of Time. Lots of people watch his show. In his own venues, he gets to frame the discussion. Here, TP does a good job of re-framing him in a negative light. But it’s not like he wouldn’t reach middle America if sites like TP didn’t point out that he’s a lying idiot.
Look at it this way – the usual 33% of “undecideds” in this country are the jury. The Republicans and Democrats are lawyers arguing their respective cases. If we’re “too good” to address their case, no matter how stupid it is, we will lose. If we’re not willing to stand up, get angry, and shout about the actual truth, if we can’t summon as much passion for what we care about as the other side does for their lies and smears, then perhaps we deserve to lose. All that “undecided” third of the country knows is that one side is willing to stand up, shout, say what they (supposedly) believe and present their (faked) evidence, and the other side is just standing there not fighting back. I can understand why they’d vote R in that case.
But just ask Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, and countless other Democrats across the land how well “not discussing base allegations” worked for them. In 2006, we started speaking out particularly against the worst/stupidest arguments they brought to bear, and it’s starting to actually work for once. I realize it’s a dirty job, and maybe not everybody is up for it, but I certainly am. It needs to be done.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:01 pmNo becky, I’m judging you by the people who don’t give a f0uck, which are many, many more.

This is the problem – everybody who even talks about “turning the GOP around” is up to their elbows in the situation it’s in now. The GOP won’t be able to come back from obscurity until it’s run by a generation of Republicans who aren’t even on the horizon yet.
And as soon as someone raises “turning it around,” someone else realizes there’s advantage in pronouncing that “we just fixed it, everything’s different now!” and then someone else realizes there’s even more advantage in claiming that “the problem is we weren’t right-wing ENOUGH!” and any productive discussion they were going to have about what they should do gets killed before it even starts.

Roger Thornhill says:
The question is; in this day and age is there really such a thing as a funny conservative? Isn’t that a bit like a unicorn or five dollar meal deal?
Normally a conservative only claims they were “being funny” when the thing they said blatantly disgusts everybody in the country. Then it’s “oh, I was just kidding about putting all Arab-Americans in ovens, ha ha, can’t you take a joke?” It would be more accurate to say that they’re anti-funny than just unfunny.
And Ben Stein’s deadpan thing was only humorous if you believe there’s an intelligent mind spinning behind that blank mug. As soon as I found out he was a creationist, I can’t find him even remotely funny any more. He’s become just another idiot who tries to sound smart and looks sad.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:12 pmThis is what I would say is the pot calling the kettle black. Both are equally idiotic but both are too stupid to see it.
IMHO
Not what a drunken stupidass wilson had yelled directly and WAY out of order to our FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to what the Honorable Grayson truthfully pointed out during normal decorum.
repug stupidity is insulting to the SUPER MAJORITY of the world.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:23 pmI don’t take Sen. Graham’s criticism of Beck seriously. I imagine the whole “controversy” is being staged by the Republicans so they can have it both ways. Fox News and Glenn Beck stir up the Republican base, while certain politicians such as Graham deflect criticism of the Republican party, giving it a veneer of moderation without any substance to it. Don’t take Republicans word by what they say, watch what they do.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:29 pmInterestingly enough, Graham didn’t say he “hated Beck’s guts” but Beck has twisted it into an emotional hateful comment. How surprising of him.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:29 pmMore power and band with to ya, elbruce….Me I’m still working on stopping the war’s…Peace is where I’m at…40 years after the song and now we are supporting 4..With no end in sight….
I do get” it”, Beyond emailing all the supporters of the radio and tube nut job’s along with letters to the FCC is a waste of my time…I will leave the major fight over every word these people say up to you and other super active TP posters…I don’t have the energy or time any more…Blessings
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:31 pmHeh. I don’t loathe Beck because he’s a Mormon. I loathe because he’s a Moron.
Oh, the difference one letter can make!!! :o)
Besides, Mormonism certainly isn’t the only crazy religion out there; as far as I’m concerned, they’re ALL pretty wack.
I mean, come on – pregnant virgins? Golden tablets? God wanting you to tie a little black box on your forehead and wear curly sideburns…? It’s all crazy.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:39 pmSo if the pope called Beck the anti-Christ, he’d consider that equal to winning a Pulitzer?
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:45 pmI’m betting on this farce of a disagreement turning into an improable love story between these two queens. they start out hating each other and then, 3/4s the way through the movie, they get stuck in a snow drift in a van with a bed in back, and by the time the snowplow shows up, well, lets just say they did some plowing themselves…They’re going to wind up running a Teeshirt shop in Provincetown on Cape Cod named “Tees From The Closet!”
I’m wishing those crazy kids nothing but the best.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:46 pmBeck has received very little honor in his life, then.
Fitting, as he has very little honor.

If you look at the larger perspective, the Republicans appear to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
You have to admit that anyone with half a brain would look over the Republican behavior and start worrying about the image the Republicans have projected to the country and the world. The Republicans have tapped into the worst in people and made it their hallmark. Glenn Beck is part of that projection and they own it.
You are absolutely correct. The Republicans embraced the radical right wing and now they can’t let go without hurting their voter base. It is so far out of control and the moderate Republicans are keeping their distance from the national party. These radical right people are purging the party of any moderate voices. They blame McCain’s loss because he was not more right wing. In fact, McCain would have lost no matter what his positions were on the issues. The economy tanked and McCain and the Republicans were rightfully blamed.
As the Republicans move further right, the moderates are being pushed toward the conservaDems. The Republican party may be hurtling toward extinction in the next two election cycles. What is happening is that the radical right have take over the national party while the state parties are working to keep their organization viable on the lower levels of government. The Republicans cannot afford to lose more seats on the national level. If they do lose more seats or fail to make significant gains, it will be interesting to watch. The moderates and radicals will be blaming each other. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 pmHey, I heard Glenn Beck might be implicated in the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Florida, and maybe another one in Texas in the’90s sometime.
There’s a web-site, and everything.
So it must be true.
If it’s n t true, why won’t he deny it?
October 3rd, 2009 at 1:52 pmGlenn Beck, How do you defend the indefencible?
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 pmCaptain Pissgums says:
There be no trolls here, why is that?
I’ve noticed that trolls flock to a Rush thread, but aren’t so interested in entering a Beck thread. I think they realize he’s got a pretty short shelf life and don’t want to bother.
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:04 pmGlen Beck poses a dilemma for Murdoch. Fox is losing sponsors because of Beck. Yet, he is attracting a large audience. Murdoch can’t have it both ways.
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:09 pmRight on El Brucey. And yet Becky can organize a march and Rushbo can’t. The power of Fox vs. the meek voice of the radio? Check out Brooks’ column in the NYT. His thesis is that both Becky and Rushbo are paper tigers that the hypnotized leaders of the GOP just keep bowing to regardless of reality (and it’s well known liberal bias).
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:13 pmIf this is the highest honor Beck has received, in his mind, I guess the key to Mount Vernon pretty much means jack to him.
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:20 pmOT
If this is true……how could it have been secret all this time? Anyone else know this?
In a stunning report on Saturday, a British newspaper claimed to have uncovered proof that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — notorious among the international community for denying the holocaust — was actually born a Jew.
According to The Telegraph, a high resolution photograph of Ahmadinejad holding up his Iranian identity card, taken just before the 2008 election, reveals that his family changed its name shortly after he was born, renouncing their Jewish faith and adopting Islam…..
Accusations of Ahmadinejad’s Jewish history have been floating around on the Internet since Mehdi Khazali, the son of Ayatollah Khazali, called for an investigation into his family origins on a blog. Khazali was later arrested amid protests of Ahmadinejad’s disputed reelection.
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:21 pmRegarding crazy-man Beck
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:23 pmA video posted to YouTube a few weeks ago making the rounds across the internet apparently shows Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck having Vicks applied under his eyes in order to cry on cue for a photo shoot.
Clown Beck; That blowhard,
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:29 pmbombastic, baboon that doesn’t deserve the
time we spend too castigate him. His days are
numbered and as soon as we all flee his
putrid & rabid poison, his bubble will burst,
his time in the sun will be done and he will
be gone! He sells his sole daily to any fool
who is suckered in by his subterfuge spin.
His sponsors will flee his as soon as the
masses do. My advice is;
Click Away,
Don’t Stay!
It was mentioned on Nicole Sandler’s show last night that Beck uses products to form tears for his fake crying.
October 3rd, 2009 at 2:31 pmhad enough, isn’t that trick kind of dangerous? I’ve heard you could do permanent damage to your eyes if you do it too much.

October 3rd, 2009 at 2:47 pmRandle Patrick McMurphy @ 98
The product they wee talking about was vicks? and he slipped and made a comment he felt he was becoming immune and feared the product was no longer working.
As long as they get ratings, I don’t think they care about self damage, how bad they divide the country or of any tragedy that may happen.
October 3rd, 2009 at 3:02 pmIt should be a crime to repeat lies and random bs.
teabaggers, the opposite of yes, because this makes us, as a country better… is not NO! And yo mama.
It’s more realist to talk to the Blue* Dogs than though idiots.
October 3rd, 2009 at 3:37 pmRandle Patrick McMurphy says:
Check out Brooks’ column in the NYT.
So nice, I linked it twice. He hits the nail on the head there.
Why can’t we have real conservatives like that back again? Or did we ever? You know, if people like him were the “leading voices” of the right wing I wouldn’t have to be as liberal as I am, and could move towards the center as well.
October 3rd, 2009 at 3:41 pmI’d call it a badge of honor too if I was sh#t nuts.
I wonder how much of Glenn’s salary is to keep certain family and friends to keep them from signing any form of commitment papers to certain mental hospitals?
Obviously the Senator has to be channeling certain aspects of A Beautiful Mind at home in his researching all his Communist theories on all the walls of his Little House abode.
October 3rd, 2009 at 4:16 pmParanoia strikes deep… starts when someone is always afraid. Now if only someone would come and take Beck away, in a straight jacket.
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:08 pmI would have to see a confirmed list of friends of Mr. Bleck before I could believe that he has any.
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:22 pmAlso, I don’t remember Sen. Graham saying that he “Hated Becks Guts”. He just said he was a cynic who got paid a lot of money for crying.I don’t see a lot of hate there,but then again I’m not delusional.
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:27 pmWhy do I get the feeling Glenn Beck goes home each day and cries his eyes out knowing most of the country hates his guts, but on his radio & television shows he puts on a ‘brave face’?
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:49 pmKayInMaine says:
Why do I get the feeling Glenn Beck goes home each day and cries his eyes out…
I’m not even sure his tear ducts function without chemical assistance at this point.
October 3rd, 2009 at 6:15 pm@ 9. KayInMaine says: Who wants to bet Glenn Beck is the one who pushed his mother overboard as a young boy that resulted in her death? I mean, really, Beck today is a madman who believes everyone is out to get him, so nothing at this point would surprise me! The guilt he’s locked up inside him is now coming out. He’s lashing out at everything good to make himself feel better and to make sure that the country that is left after he destroys it is one that better reflects his insides. He scares me. He scares America. He should be in an insane asylum. The End. October 3rd, 2009 at 9:43 am
KiM, even paranoiacs are right on occasion. Maybe someone is out for revenge. After all, there’s that story that Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. And there’s that unexplained death of a young girl and her babysitter in Florida, which Beck has never bothered to explain. Now I’m not saying that Beck did any of that, but, when he doesn’t respond to inquiry and doesn’t explain, you gotta wonder just where he really fits into it. And the lack of closure probably leaves a few people in a mood for vengance, too; after all, if he won’t just explain, then somebody might have to take the law into their own hands. So, I’m sure he has reason to be paranoid and all. Yanno.
But hey, he could hire Lindsey Graham. Senator Graham is a lawyer and being a former prosecutor, he probably knows some lawyer tricks that could keep Beck from having to do more than 80 or 90 percent of a life sentence. Or maybe keep him from going for a ride on “Old Sparky”.
October 3rd, 2009 at 6:33 pmLook out

Well, Beck hasnt denied using nipple clips yet so it must be true.
October 3rd, 2009 at 6:40 pm107, Interesting point, who are Beck’s friends if he has any?
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:00 pm“I’m an optomist, I just happen to believe in the people . . .” Ya right – You mean the same ones that elected Obama? Beck , your such a psycho-pathetic liar!

Hi STORM
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:11 pmI bet ol’ Glenn was not a happy drunk. Can’t you just see that poor, sad, emotionally crippled, crying face after he’d been hittin’ the bottle?
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:15 pmExactly Virtual Pebble at #111! Hey, Beck “connects the dots” all the time, so it makes sense we would do the same concerning his life. Our pasts are connected to who we are today, so I think Beck needs to come clean on a lot of things in his past. That way we can be reassured we’re not dealing with a deranged lunatic who has 2 national microphones to rally people just like him! See?
October 3rd, 2009 at 7:48 pmHi Storm,
October 3rd, 2009 at 8:33 pmI would like to hear your opinion of the story of Graham dumping Beck story. I want to hear the other take on this devolopement.
Hey Stormcunt, try and stay on topic…

Dude, seriously, go here and set this up. You could have your own blog for free, where all of your articles will be in one place, and people can look them up any time they want. It would be the perfect thing for your approach.
Much better than using other blogs’ comment space to drop entirely pre-written article-length screeds into.
Seriously. I promise I’ll register for and comment on your blog if you go do it, and stop dumping your garbage at TP.
October 3rd, 2009 at 9:07 pmIm sure beck did alot of things he doesnt remember. When your active in your addiction blackouts are a daily occurance.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:34 pmI wouldnt be too upset if beck had a relapse. I hope his drink of choice was a good tequila though,so he could choke on the worm. There would be one less racist on this planet.
huh.

Memes strike back: Gerbils, gay blood elves, and Glenn Beck
Talk show host Glenn Beck is pursuing the owner of the domain name glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com, charging trademark violations and claiming rights to the domain. Now, the anonymous owner responds, telling an arbiter that “only an abject imbecile” could mistake the site for one of Beck’s own.

October 3rd, 2009 at 10:44 pmIt’s been about 8000 years since bronze age and the so called beginning of civilization.
How depressing is it that public discourse in a country that at one time represented the zenith of human potential is dictated by the nadir of human potential (conservative talk radio)?

Ha. Not only does Beck not explain or deny a role in the murder of a young girl in 1990, now he wants to own the site, too. Does he plan to replace the site content with a video of whirling kookaburas? A weeping Beckster, confessing his sins?
October 5th, 2009 at 11:41 amThank you for your sharing.!
