    Dear [Redacted],

    I am a professional writer. Not only that, I'm capable of watching news clips and actually writing about what was said during the news clip.

    I understand that your current staff may have problems with television comprehension and using the written word to accurately describe events.

    I'd be more than willing to provide coaching services for your bloggers and/or take up some of their responsibilities

    Love,

    Bart

    P.S. Unlike Glenn Beck, I am proud to say that I didn't kill a girl during a cocaine fueled rage in 1990.

    It was 1992.

    @drunkexpatwriter: Dear Bart,

    Glenn Beck has a better sense of humor than you. I understand that sometimes things on the internet have subtext. I'm sorry you can't accurately understand it. Maybe it wasn't placed close enough to the surface, as evidenced by some smart commenters below! It has since been changed. But at least they didn't invoke the Holy Name, or were complete dicks. I'm not going to cater to morons, or asshole commenters. Thanks for losing your star, and in fact, your ability to comment.

    Regards,

    Foster Kamer

    Watching this video without being adequately prepared (perhaps a blow dart laced with curare?) is like channel-surfing and falling into a wormhole that radiates some mutant strain of reactionary porn. For the first few seconds, you're aroused in the worst way possible--moved to potential violence. Which then gives way to an ever-increasingy slack-jawed, dull-eyed state of stupefaction, leaving you simultaneously numb and raw at the same time.

    As if it was ever in doubt, Evil exists. It leers as it drowns in its own bloated sense of self-satisfaction and iimportance, only coming up for air to make one more butter-knife observation for the rabble in the cheap seats...

    Then....hey--Wait a second! What happened? Last thing I remember I clicked on the little white triangle, and the rest is all a bad dream, right? Fellas? Back me up here....

    Ummm, the summary directly contradicts the content of the clip, and the clip itself is mostly devoid of content. Beck does not say that he won't get the shot and ridicules the idea of a conspiracy behind it. That Kamer decided to blog on this clip at all is...odd. That he decided to make up craziness about individuals who demonstrate actual, demonstrable craziness on a daily basis is...sad.

    Truthiness is for the Right, Mr. Kamer. Isn't it?

    @TomCruiseDiedforYourSins: It 's so frustrating when that happens. Unfortunately, my whacko family is in love with Beck so even if O'Reilly says something reasonable, it won't matter.

    Glenn Beck won't say whether or not he will get the vaccine, just like he won't say whether or not he really did rape and murder that young girl in 1990. Since he won't say whether or not he took the vaccine, I will assume he did, just like I will assume he raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

    O'Reilly must really have a lot of faith in the vaccine if he refuses to shake Beck's hand even after he has himself been vaccinated. Or does O'Reilly think that he can still catch it if the other person is not vaccinated? Every time I try to watch even 15 seconds of this crap my head begins to hurt.

    Not to defend Beck, but he doesn't say that he won't get the vaccine, he says that he won't tell anyone whether or not he's going to get it. And, regarding the conspiracy theory, Beck says that he spent a lot of time "debunking" it.

    Or, you know, maybe the religious right is out to get him because (according to his quote in the picture) he wants to tell the religious right "F--- em" and "Drop Dead".

    Saying that "Republicans" are afraid he'll make it more difficult to bully children for being gay is like saying that "Democrats" (Blue Dogs) won't pass healthcare because it will cost too much money.

    Sub groups do not define a party.

    @snachodog: except we now have a chart that showed 70% or more of the party WAS of the "crazy sub group" ceasing to make it a sub group (like the blue dogs, or the loonies who thing 9/11 was a inside job) and actually making the Republican party, in fact the "fringe" these days.

    Hey, maybe Obama DOES care about gay people. GLSEN is a wonderful organization that I was very grateful to have as a resource when I was a gay teen.
