Yeah, Glenn, it's a "joke." We get it. We get that you're a former shock jock, that you don't actually believe a single word you say, and that you will say anything for money. We get that the vice-presidency is even further out of your league than it is for Palin, and that's saying a lot.

Sadly, we get that it's way below your current pay-grade, too.

We also get that you're an infantile jerk.

With all the emphasis on abstinence only education, as well as with the predilections of many conserve men, it's difficult to find a conservative male willing to take a chick to a back seat.

Oops, dyslexia, never mind......


Corruption favors the wealthy.

as ignorant as palin is
she is far smarter than beck.

The Palin worshipers aren't going to like this coming from Beck.

I can only hope a comment like this might negatively impact his popularity amongst women at least...

But well... The other crap that comes out of his blow-hole hasn't exactly driven people away, so why should this?

suggest that she or Cheney, or any other unqualified criminal run for the office, as if 'loss' is a forgone conclusion. It's as if they forgot that the biggest bumbling stupe ever to walk the earth that was not struck down by Darwin, took the office--twice.

I only want qualified people running, whether I agree with them or not. It's not a game, reality teevee, or a vehicle to use to become famous; it's SERIOUS BUSINESS.

And Dobbs and Palin think they have the bones to do this? Seriously? And now maybe Beck? Man. They must be made of brass. Who knows. If enough of the sycophantic Beckian Zombie Army 9/12 Teabaggers think he should, he just might try, which turns the process into a bigger joke than Lee Atwater or Karl Rove could have ever dreamed of doing themselves.

Couldn't agree with you more. That's why we're in so much trouble. Turns out being President is a lot harder then being elected President. Not to worry, a year from now both Houses will be set straight, and two long years after that this disastrous experiment will be over.

We can be sure of one thing, #45 will have more on their resume then "Community Organizer" and 2 years in the US Senate.

Yeah, and we can go back to spying on Americans, suspension of habeus corpus, talk about escalating two wars instead of drawing down one and trying to resolve the other to a point where we can end it, suspend all financial regulations, privatize Social Security, make Halliburton wealthier, make the insurance industry wealthier, the financial industry wealthier,..

I wish it wasn't taking so long for a lot of things that need to happen to happen but solving eight years (30 years) of problems in ten months is unrealistic. I'm trying to remain optimistic and its hard but after only ten months, I'm stayin' the course for now.

Now, I'm not sure if you mean that Congress will be set straight in a year because more D's than R's get in, I think you're right about the "Community Organizer" thing but Obama was a sitting Senator after he was a State Representative after he was a CO but you knew that and were probably taking a shot at him. I may not vote for him in 2012 because who knows right now whether he'll run or be able to beat back another D in the primary if someone wants to take him on, I sort of hope its Alan Grayson, but no matter what, we can't let the republican'ts back into power; it would be the death of America. We can thank w for very little but a glimpse of how bad republican't leadership is is something we should be glad is OVER.

End the w tax cuts on the rich today; get w on trial for war crimes now.

I also believe that to right wingers meanness, cruelty, misogyny, racism, gay bashing, etc. is comedy gold.

"I'm really concerned about how mean and immature C&L is by photoshopping an image of Glenn Beck."

Give it a rest. If you are sincere perhaps the internets aren't the place for you to be hanging out.

I don't like Beck. I don't like hypocrisy either. Especially wrapped in "progressive" thought.

Photo shopping our enemies is beneath us

First, it's so easy and pedestrian. Beck is a sick man, very sick. Mocking him isn't funny. it is SAD.

Second, it's so immature, high school, childish

Third, it's what the enemy does, it is PROPAGANDA in it's lowest form...literally

Fourth, would Jesus photoshop his brother Beck? Beck is a sick man, very sick.

And I have to explain this to you! Is the C&L audience so lowbrow? Do you guys make "fart noise" contests at family gatherings? Do you watch midget wrestling?

I assume people said the same thing to Charlie Chaplin when he was making 'The Great Dictator'. Good thing for the world he did not listen to their staid advice.

Humor is a very powerful weapon when used a against someone that takes themselves seriously and is seen as a threat.
It is also non-violent, non-threatening and therefore peaceful.

Photoshopping your enemies may be beneath you, but you do not speak for everyone around here.

I see your post as hypocritical in that you go on to belittle, demean
and call people that mock others derogatory names.

Puns used to be the highest form of comedy, and photoshopping is often nothing short of visual puns.

I got a chuckle out of the Beck as baby picture, and I think that it spoke truthfully about his behaviour described in this post.

You just made a Republican style false equivalence.

Beck is bad news but he is no Hitler. As much as I despise Beck he is not Hitler.

"Humor is a very powerful weapon"
Calling this photoshop "humor" is accurate...for a third grader!

"Puns used to be the highest form of comedy"
Really? On the back of the bus maybe.

"I got a chuckle out of the Beck as baby picture, and I think that it spoke truthfully about his behaviour described in this post."
Want me to pull your finger? Wanna give me a wedgie?

"Photoshopping your enemies may be beneath you, but you do not speak for everyone around here."
Obviously!

"I see your post as hypocritical in that you go on to belittle, demean and call people that mock others derogatory names". Show me where I name call?

ysbaddaden's picture
)O(

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest minds in comedy history, and you use him to support your odd version of Godwin's Law?

Humor is a powerful weapon, and this was how Chaplin was using it in The Great Dictator. Although I'm no fan of tine fey, she may've helped in destroying sarah palin's popularity with the independent voter.

Actually puns were very popular with the ancient Romans, who thought the proper response was a groan. A pun is using a word with a double-meaning that's not mispronounced for it's effect like a malapropism, a spoonerism or a barbarism. It can be quite difficult to work with and takes a great deal of mental acumen and gyrations.

And beck's photo as a baby seems appropriate to his infantile humor which this post is about, and how he actually does look somewhat babyish, despite his nasty tongue, and warped mind.

And where you name call is: "....for a third grader!...On the back of the bus maybe....Want me to pull your finger? Wanna give me a wedgie?..."

And the obviousness of the last point seemed to have eluded you, but you use the classic offense is a good defense ploy, of simply trying to deflect the point (unsuccessfully).

And that's just one comment. Care to try again?

That baby picture of Beck gave me a good laugh.

Nicely done, bluegal!

..unconscionable and shameless but we expect nothing less from that dolt (Merriam Webster defines "dolt" as : a stupid person). Us calling him a "prostitute" is metaphorical in that he has sold himself for big bucks for the sole purpose of delegitimizing the President and his agenda. People on this blog had unfairly called Sen. Landrieu a "prostitute" for selling her vote on health insurance when the republican't gov. and the republican't sen. both postured for the additional Medicaid money also..
so jhunter is right and I for one, promise to try and keep the attacks on the becks and palins and limpbaughs limited to their policies and scruples and not on their persons. But I have do have to say, I do think beck is a dolt and limpbaugh is fat and shouldn't be bouncing around on a stage, any stage. (I'm fat but not as fat as he is and I was offering a little advice to him possibly encouraging him to lose weight.)


Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"

ysbaddaden's picture
)O(

But the false equivalency is comparing a private website with a public broadcaster.

Or as some conservaturds might argue, more people agree with beck than Blue Gal/ John Amato, because beck's richer.

And Sen. Landrieu was personally insulted for taking a political stance, whatever her motive, whereas on the subject of the thread becky was faulted for taking an infantile stance.

And not only that Landrieu didn't vote on the issue per se, but for cloture to end debate. Once the vote is taken we'll know how she voted, but not necessarily about the particulars.

And the difference between making fun or limpballs for being fat, and becky as being a baby, is limpball is actually fat, for whatever reason, whilst becky is not an infant, merely infantile.

Beck's misogyny is never far below the surface. If Sarah Palin had any credentials at being a woman other than the fact she doesn't own a penis, she would take offense at Beck's drivel and tell him to fuck off.

But, as she is the Murdoch/Beck/O'Rielly ideal of a perfect woman ("Shut up and get me my dinner, baby") and is a Stepford-wife type completely manufactered by corporate Amerika to spread their lies, she simply wouldn't have the brains or courage to revolt aginst her handlers and speak out for women's dignity.
