BATshit Crazy.

Can this man even get more CLICHE than he already is? He's becoming a parody of himself.

up the libs, he'll make money

This man needs an intervention. He is going to crash and burn. He is going to go off the wagon and hit a school bus full of kids.

Hehehehehhehe lololololololololol

Long before their star liar showed up. It's so ridiculous, at least as Alan Grayson said recently 99% of Americans have the good sense not to watch this nonsense.

... and others of their ilk when the unelected boy dictator really WAS stripping the Constitution and eroding our freedoms?

Oh, wait, that would impute rationality, consistency and intelligence to these people.

Beck needs to be institutionalized.

BID

They got some people totally bamboozled thinking they are actually serious.

...it's so silly and full of lies that distort reality...it's like a snl skit....whenever i watch it i just laugh at it....like tina fay doing palin VERBATIM....someone on snl could do the same with becky....."jumping the shark" doesn't do this kind of performance justice....now that the wh has called them out for NOT being a legitimate news organization they - becky especially - has gotten even crazier (is that possible?) in their quest for relevance.....too funny.....

I thank you for tracking this sack of crap, someone needs to. How you do it is beyond me through, I just watched about 20 seconds and that all I could take. Visualize the baboons that buy into it. I want the USA to stop the killing in the Middle East and bring the troops home so I’m not a Obama fan either.

the real story is that he has tens of thousands/millions(?) of psychopaths who are just as crazy/dangerous who not only keep up with him but are begging for more.

Shudder Wince Recoil

Note that when it's time to sound like a thug, he puts on a New York-ish accent. Note that his followers often speak with a light southern-inflected accent (the default accent for much of white middle america).

Note that Maddow and Olbermann speak with flatter less obtrusive accents (basically what used to be standard - gently eastern inflected midwestern) while Beck speaks with another flat accent, only slightly west coast inflected (makes sense, he's from Washington State).

What we see is the use of language as code of a code - a way to identify oneself with a group or parody a group. Beck excoriates his imaginary thugs by imitating a New York accent, while the followers of Beck (check the videos for the teabaggers march on washington) speak with a southern-ish accent.

Given there are only accents (there is no "non-accented" speech) - it makes sense that this would happen. But I think this is, as usual, something to pay attention to.

Has Beck jumped the shark? No.

He's just warming up.

Even if one could distinguish between faux news and faux pundits, in this age of controversy over the President not wanting them to interview him, why would any sponsor want to be connected to anything like becky's show, or the network that carries it?

Pussy don't even know to turn the label away from the mound. Let alone the grip. It's obvious that boy needed more not less outdoor activity as a child.

It's time to put this clown in a rubber padded enclosure. Otherwise, he will self-destruct, and he will try to take others to the grave with him.

I've been trying to tell people, the problem isn't Beck or Hannity or Rush. Those people are tools. The man hiring and using those tools is Rupert Murdoch, the right wing tycoon that profits from creating his own special brand of violent dementia.

Rupert's Dementia: There is no cure, but if you stop the source, the redness and swelling will go down.

Leather Tuscadero ruined Suzie Quatro's career who was an up-and-coming rocker at the time (somewhat New Wavey though):

I met this ******* back in the eighties while running a radio station in Corpus Christi, Tx. He was bathsit then and I must say with age, he's grown more and more wacky and batshit! What a friggin moon, er ah Mormon... I thank god, I never gave the dork a job like he wanted. About every three months he'd come slinking in to apply... and no one on my staff wanted me to hire him.

Luckily, I paid attention to their wishes. God only knows why some think he's a talent? He's just plain batshit.

I think the wikipedia citations should probably be brought down a bit. Wikipedia doesn't actually explain anything... I think the more proper way to describe a wikipedia entry would be something along the lines of, `As found on wikipedia`...

We just came home from the market and there were a whole bunch of people at a big intersection carrying signs that said "Public Option Now" We blew our horn and waved to them. I have no idea if it was an organization or just some really cool people speaking their mind. All of the signs were hand made. No fancy printed stuff.

Suck that, Glenn Beck. I don't think these folks were your fans.

You're right on. To me, the epitome of this is the new argument about net neutrality. I think it was RedState who suggested that net neutrality denied the rights of internet service providers to make profits...um, excuse me? Corporations have a right to make profits, but I don't have the right to freely access a network that was created/discovered/or whatever, by MY government's defense department? This is absurd. And what gets me is all of these working class people who support these views. They don't get it. They don't get it. In my worst places, I have to admit that they make me see the flaws of democracy: A person who does research into issues has the same amount of votes as each of the Fox/Beck/Palin zombies. One person, one vote, regardless of the amount of brain cells they use.

Part of me still thinks Beck is putting on an act- He's an overpaid carnival barker....
But then again, he might in fact be truly nuts.....

I for one hope his maddening rants get worse- because all it succeeds in doing is discrediting himself and the right wingers who follow him...

Just sit back and break out the popcorn!

The one glaring fact that strips Republicans of any credibility when they accuse Pres. Obama of somehow taking away our freedoms is the fact these people were the most vocal SUPPORTERS of Bush and Cheney's expansion of executive powers. How can the right justify this glaring contradiction?

If you see the doctor for a headache, would the insurance company deny your claim on the basis that watching Fox News/Glenn Beck is a "pre-existing condition"?

...as being like Al Capone and his gang of thugs in The Untouchables, bashing people's heads in with baseball bats.

If only. (wistful sigh)

I know who they could start with. ;)

As a Louisvillian, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Beckerwood's bat is a Rawlings, NOT a Louisville Slugger. Sluggers are used by the greatest players to have ever played the game and that list does not include Glenn. He may be batsh*t batty, but not with a Slugger!

Maybe Fox is gonna let him go... maybe he is just projecting.

He should be ashamed of himself.

to a gunfight...

Sorry glenn, I'm locked and loaded. You're half-cocked (at best...). you're probably loaded too, but I hear Jeebus, Roger Ailes, crack & booze don't mix well...

You would think someone could show this mormon sissy how to hold a baseball bat. He looks like a five-year-old, playing T-Ball.

the dumbass misspelled "batting" too.

Beck is a nutter!

Move along!

Where do these people come from? I swear Beck is a cult leader who preys on the vulnerable. It's disturbing that so many people have been brainwashed. I think the constant exposure to Fox News has resulted in mass hypnosis or at the very least warped their brains.

...or something like that....If that's so, why hasn't Obama's State Security thugs dropped by and beaten the shit out of him with his fucking bat? These fascists wouldn't recognize a dictator if he bit them on the ass!

Speaking of bats...I recall a snarky quote about republithug bipartisanship: "Bipartisanship means You play ball with us, and we stick the bat up your ass..."

...I think it was Hunter Thompson

It's fortunate that you posted the complete videos of this segment, because when I went to Beck's homepage to look for the transcripts, the most incendiary part (the end) had been removed/altered. So I transcribed his original words myself:

“you can all sit around the table, like those people did, and then you can say which one’s gonna to get whacked? You can sit there and you can live in fear. Or you can stand up and say ‘Enough of your bat!’ I warn ya, that means that some people are gonna get whacked…You gotta take a stand, even though you know, in the end, you pull out a knife and they’re gonna pull out a gun. The question we have to ask ourselves , what is it we truly believe in? What do we believe in? Who are we? Are we the guy who sits around the table in fear? Or are we the guy who stands up and says, ‘Hey! What the hell are we all doing? He’s one guy! There’s more of us than there is of him!’ But I warn you, you have to ask yourself, if you stand up, what are you willing to do? Sure, you might get whacked, but let me tell you something, if you spend too much time in the bed with the mob, if you spend too much time at that table, you’re gonna get whacked eventually anyway.”

Fox may have erased those words, but it doesn't change the fact that he said them, that millions may have heard them, and that there are probably Americans out there who are right now deciding how they can "take a stand" against the President.

I fear that this country is headed for a violent divide and Beck is both a symptom of the problem and the accelerant.
