The day after my kid started dressing like this he’d be woken up and dragged away by the goons from the Southern Pentecostal boot camp. Because, if he has to be crazy ...
@iplaudius: the moment your kid starts to dress like that, that means you were doing a bad job as a parent...remember the moto: "Blame the parents, not the kids"
@Mount_Prion: but the "moron" thing just doesn't sell. sexxx it up! MYSPACE! "RAP MUSIC"! COULD YOUR TEEN BE A POTENTIAL MURDERER? THREE WAYS TO TELL...BEFORE THEY KILL!
@oneinsixbillion: Then why must he dedicate an entire hour twisting the meaning of an out of context quote? Face it. his thrust is to instill fear and panic in the more gullible amongst us.
@onebadclam: I guess that logic explains why President Obama must dedicate hours upon hours trying to explain what he plans to do with healthcare. It all makes perfect sense now! If you need to go on TV to explain anything at all, then it must be only to instill fear and panic into the gullible TV viewers...
That is obviously sarcasm. The point: how about keeping an eye on comments that can act as a double edged sword. Glenn Beck does not ask you to watch his program, then take his word for it and go to sleep. He tells you to investigate, read, ask questions, then ask more questions...and if you take his word alone then you are a lazy fool.
The irony of this particular situation is...you, onebadclam, are the lazy fool. I hate to be so direct but it is a point that must be made...mainly because insults encourage others to sharpen their swords and prepare themselves for battle...which you, sir, are not prepared for...even though you have already thrust yourself into the battle.
The beauty of the situation is; you can read Gawker everyday and watch as the very thing you complained about in your above post takes place, then use those same tactics you claim Beck uses, and apply them back onto him AND his viewers. Yet you will go on, mindlessly denying the hypocrisy of your own statements... and little by little, help build up the hatred between people that tears us all apart.
You need to take a step back,and observe the comments Beck and his opponents make from an objective point of view. Pareene sure as hell isn't going to offer you an objective perspective here. I'm sure that if you are competent enough to post a comment on these useless articles written by incompetent bloggers, then you can complete my above "challenge."
@Kyle Houston: Sure, I am a lazy fool. The beauty of debunking Beck for the lazy fools like me is it doesn't take much research or effort. Let's take Beck's hysteria over Obama's "civilian national security force" that I referenced above. Beck spent an entire hour on Thursday demanding President Obama explain the need for his own personal army.
Throughout the program Beck kept replaying just that one sentence from Obama's speech. You know, the scary one. What Beck conveniently ignored, and what lazy fools such as I could find on youtube in just a few minutes, was the full broadcast of that speech. In particular, lazy fools such as I could hear the three minutes preceding that scary statement, and realize Obama was not calling for a new domestic Praetorian Guard. Lazy fools such as I could also post a link to that speech in an earlier thread right here on Gawker.
Now, one wonders why, if lazy fools such as I could find that speech so easily, could Beck and his staff of researchers not find the truth? Or is it more likely that he simply lied to his audience because the truth did not fit his Obama/New Hitler paradigm.
If Beck was so ignorant of, or lied about, a matter as easily verified as Obama's civilian national security force just how much ignorance and dishonesty are inherent in Beck's other proclamations of the imminent collapse of America as we know it?
Does anyone have an idea of exactly which demographs most of his viewers fall under? I've browsed through sites from all sides and outside of the lovers/haters, a lot of people think he makes some good points but is a loose cannon who might not be trustworthy.
Also, I'm getting flashbacks of Private Parts.
Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes.
Pig Vomit: How can that be?
Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next."
Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern?
Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day.
Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen?
Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next."
I'm betting that one psycho is going to do something horrible, and his defense at the trial will be "I was brainwashed by Glenn Beck." Gotta admit, nothing better to prove an insanity plea.

I had to refer back to yesterday's Beck clip, but...
I'm not suggesting anything. I'm asking questions.
I don't know what this means.
