Glenn Beck had Erick Erickson on his radio show today to talk about his plans for a Republican bloodbath over Sarah Palin, of which Beck thoroughly approves.

Indeed, Beck believes most conservatives voted for John McCain in the hopes that he would soon die:

I mean, I have to tell you if I heard once, I heard 1,000 times from people, and I never said this, never said this on the air because you just don't say these things, but I heard a million times from people, "I'm going to vote for John McCain and, you know, I mean, he's old. Maybe we get Sarah Palin in the first term." You know what I mean?

Of course, you could occasionally find wingnuts saying such things in public during the campaign, but now that I guess the election is over, the lid is off and the bats are flying out of the belfry.

ThinkProgress has the audio.

Let's vote for the bad-tempered senile cancer patient; maybe we'll be lucky and the runner -up Miss Alaska of 1985 with the IQ of 83 and armageddonist beliefs and ethics violations will assume the presidency within a couple of years after the old goat bites the big one!

GOD bless Amerikkka!

I bury Frist.

She could only have an IQ of 83 if a sack of hammers has an IQ of 84.

She could only have an IQ of 83 if a sack of hammers has an IQ of 84 and beat 83 of its IQ points into her little brain. (And not in a violent way, of course...)

There, fixed!

is still Beck at his worst. Gawd, how can you let these people take up space on this earth?

Uhm

How do you tell the difference? Best, worst...same diff. :-)

If Beck had the balls, he'd BE Sarah Palin.

Instead he's just the dumbest man in America within shouting distance of a live mic.

They will blindly follow the asshole in front of them.

What if they had gotten their wish? Now her true ignorance and downright stupidity is coming to the surface. And it's being exposed by republicans, not the "leftist" media. We would have had a president that is even less intelligent than Bush.

That is truly terrifying.

This is a great saying!

I always thought Glen Beck was an idiot but this is perfect proof. Nobody with a brain would want Sarah Palin for president. Beck must be thinking with his little weenie.

very little

glen Beck is a slimeball, remember him telling Katrina victims to go out and walk the streets as prostitutes so they wouldn't need FEMA handouts?

Wish I knew Photoshop...

I guess I'm old fashioned but its always been my impression that a political party usually allows its best, brightest and most capable to rise to the top. You know, like how a fine cream or sauce rises to the top on a dish or beverage. I guess the Republicans got that backwards. They seem to have hoped that the best they had would kick the bucket so that the dumbest and most imcompetent could rise to the top like a turd in a toilet.

They want idols.

even in AK oil spills.

The scum also rises.

Palin this and Palin that. Is this all we are going to get from now on? Jeeze. She lost. Thank God. But do we have to rehash all the batshit ideas of the right?

I'm going to take a pill now and breath. Sorry.

Actually, this one really is about Glenn Beck and the wingnuts. Palin is only a peripheral subject.

since i have been coming to c&l, on almost every thread i read someone bitchin about the subject matter

why do we talk about rush?

why do we talk about hannity?

why do we talk about rove?

palin remains the governor of a state...does she not?

is she not batshit crazy, a liar and possibly a crook?

then she belongs on here

make your own fucking blog

All of the people you listed are still in positions of power and must be watched very closely.

After the years of abuse we have gone through, we certainly deserve that right. And it feels great to get their poison out of our systems and talk about it at the same time.

Yes!...we must remind all what these people full of hate,lies and much more have to be EXPOSED forever. Let's teach our kids how to lookout for these bad bad people,spot them and reject them. We owe it to America.

Sometimes I find your postings to be utter bullshit but, on this one, you've got my vote. These blogs are like city parks in the centre of town. A place to discuss, rant, vent, ponder, agree, blah, blah, blah. You get the point.

There wouldn't be a blog if all we every got was, "Sunny today on Wisteria Lane, and everyone is happy." Then we'd bitch about the sun?

(I think, by nature, we humans sort of like to complain, don't we?)

And besides, they deserve it.

Never forget nor let others forget how close we could have been to having this Barbie wannabe become POTUS.

I would be good with daily reminders ad nauseum from now until 2012.

Bring on the sharks and stir up that chum.

Yes, that very thought sends a cold chill down my spine. WTF is wrong with these rightwing idiots?

She's not dead. She's in Alaska scheming for the next round (of whatever that will be. Who knows with her. Move over Oprah, Tyra?)

She probably got half of McCain's votes and plans to use them. That's what Bush called, "political capital." Lest we forget.

'THANKS BUT NO THANKS'

until they figure out how they lost. and get over how really stupid she is .and just how close we came to electing someone dmber than bush. give it a few days.

sorry, i can't tolerate this guy. i try to be open/accepting....all of that. i don't want to judge the guy but he seems over the top and he knows everything. i believe i did view a portion of his post hospital stay. anyways it seemed he was melo-dramatic/over the top. he's kind of a boring cult caricature.

Heh

Glenn Beck + fork = Done

I'm glad such people are on the right.

is NOT news. Infofuckingtainment and political slop at best.

Fuck off Beck!

you start to circle the bowl in that coriolis way in concentric circles while that flushing sound continues.

When it stops, your in the cesspool and Rupert Murdoch is offering you a job at FOX.

Congratulations Glenn, You've Made it!!

Wow

That was pretty amazing.

Who would ever want to wish death on anyone else? What a despicable thing to do!

For his show it's called ad revenue.

If McCain died and President Palin ruled the land ..

ALL the Bible-Huggers would rejoice and proclaim it was God's Will.

noticed. We need to make sure they see it the same way from here on out.

Expect the Rove machine to be hard a work manufacturing how to sell this "end-of-the-world is great" crap for 2012 as we type.

Wouldn't it be funny that they are actually gods revenage of the republican party. Am sure that god is telling them this is not how you love thy neighbor. God doesn't like the talk of hate.

Do they still think that the election hinged on "God's will"? Because if it did, then God chose Obama over them. God told them to sit down and shut up.

Or are they going to be more agnostic in the coming 8 years?

They believe in EVIL Jesus or some shit like that.

why is it that i never understand a wingnut joke?

had mccain become president, i wouldve prayed everyday for him to stay healthy

these people worship simplemindedness

its sick

This election was a mandate as much about desiring a new type of president as it was a mandate discrediting and rejecting the radical ideology of the right wingnut fringe.

If the GOP is to survive, it needs to immediately distance itself from this gang of wingnuts who showed their darker demons at the Palin hate rallies.

If the GOP were to get rid of their 'base', they will never be in the majority again.

Maybe that's not so bad.

They aren't. The blame the moderate republicans. Gosh that is something. I watched them on CNN this morning. The twin devils spoke and feel they weren't conservative enough. They embrace Palin and their new champion. So they will lose again in 4 yrs.

man, that's some harsh shit there.

Oh Glenn, News Corp aka fox news has lost 30% in the stock market,and murdoch is cutting 16% of it's employees. The good news for you is there is a walmart greeters job in India,go for it.

You only have to see on C-span every morning the “Washington Journal”, that do take in turn calls from republicans, democrats and independents and you can see and hear how dangerous the Mc Cain/Palin voters are. They show that they are un-educated Fox news or those religious big cables money scam watchers. Even now they still complained.
Why stupid people vote against their own interest. They mix socialism with communism without understand the difference.
Socialism do thing for the population while communism take over control of government and no one win.
We are the only Industrial Nation that does not have national health care.
I am still so mad at the republicans while in control for keeping the vote on the medical part D till they had the vote while the bill had been written by the Pharmaceutical co that did not want USA do bargains for lower price. Well all other country do have lower price.
Spain for “Arimedex” a cancer drug is less that ½ price what it is sold here.

I live in TN and people are so stupid the go against their own interest. I am a social democrat. I believe that government should help its citizens. I tell the idiots what do you think of social security? Medicare these are programs that help our citizens. The churchs haven't helped the people like they should. You have to share their way. No there is nothing wrong with government helping its citizens. They have given Welfare to the corporation for a while.

My soon to be ex-son-in-law, a libertarian, once told me that the government could get rid of all the assitance programs in the U.S., i.e. Medicare, Social Security, Welfare, Jobs Programs, Student Aid, all of them and that private indivuals would take up the slack. I asked him how much we could put him down for, and he just stared at me. He was really thinking of all those OTHER people who would pitch in and help the sick, the old and the indigent.

Sounds like you live among thousands of carbon copies of my son-in-law. My sympathy.

Frankly, I don't even understand how the Repubs can be so stupid. I suppose they could control Palin - kind of a Bush/Cheney situation and continue to destroy the country.

There is some real panic going on over there:

http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/11/06/...

I know one thing. It’s apparent that ANYONE can be governor of Alaska.
Some of you think she’ll be back with new knowledge for 2012. I got news for ya. Her stupid runs deep. Very deep. Her stupid is genetic to the core, my friends.

But the press and TV news love Sarah because she’s like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears: attractive, polarizing, and dumb as h ell. Unfortunately, by 2012, which is about 20 Palin babies from now, she’ll look like Babs Bush.

I remember seeing a clip on youtube where 2 young ladies from AK were interviewed. They said anyone could be a governor of their state. The bar is so low. Palin is proof. At least women across the country know the difference between a pit bull with lipstick and a really intelligent woman. Palin meet a real woman Hillary Clinton who has worked her way to the top and ran a campaign who show how smart she was. I didn't vote for her in the primary. I didn't vote for Obama in the primary. I voted for Biden. Now am happy because people finally decided they wanted someone intelligent as president and not another empty suit like Bush and Palin or McCain.

Dumb is forever....Judge Judy

I must modestly point out that I did not hold back and said before the election that I was voting for John McCain because I hoped he would die in office:
{Deleted, Spam. SiteMonitor}

Does anyone know if Glenn Beck has ever been officially certified mentally incompetent? It's not like he does anything to hide it.

but I don't know about anything else. If he can produce any legit paperwork, I'd bet he'd have a secure gig at Fux...

Doctors and surgeons tried to fix his brain but the hemorrhoid surgery went horribly wrong.

He was ranting about Republicans on his late night/ early sunday show the other month, I reckon something about the stockmarket crashing deeply upset his core beliefs in the Repugs.
The 'Daddy-publican' party really screwed over their core middle class comfortable income base, and handed them over to the wolves of wall street for shearing.
And they act all surprised when it happened, didn't they know that everybody is expendable in Bushco land, and they were next on the shrinking menu.

"What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream."

PF - Sheep lyrics

DIDN'T HE GO TO AA? THAT DEFINITELY WORK ON HIS BRAIN. JUST LOOK AT BUSH.

Republicans love stupid leaders. They're the ones that get pissed when their new manager at TJ Maxx is smarter than they are.

You're killing me!!

.

.

So, let me get this correct,
They wished that McCain would die because...
... Country first?

.

was their 'Joan of Arc' in her $150,000 working girl wardrobe

scary stuff indeed.

Sarah 'the Plank'

YOU BETCHA

That man is unbelievable. Still way out of touch with what's going on...

Link

Buh-bye, dubya! (and good riddance, you evil bastard.)

AGAIN...

Should be ground up into dog food and let the race horses live quite lives in pasture. That is the humane way of dealing with the walking cancer among us.

With 'raygun' and 'puke boy'

and Freddy Thompson was also a popular rival to WcCain.
He had quite a good sized minor following in their primaries.

Funniest would have been Ghouliani and Sarah 'the Plank' on the same ticket...

Just imagine the GOP conundrum, 'princess sparkle pony' and and 'bible spice' campaigning together, the GOP would have exploded into civil warfare before the election.
Maybe in 2012 they could team up for shits and giggles, and amuse the nation.

Glenn Beck is a nasty human being. Now that the conservative era is over CNN needs to get rid of this guy. This born again, uneducated, and ex-drug addict has got to go. Put a liberal in there now.

The rabid dog has moved to Fox news. I think to the 5:00 pm time slot. I never watched him on CNN either. So it won't matter. These right wingers are always negative. I love my sister but she has her own business and is a republican. She wasn't happy. She said I was angry and had venom. I wrote her back because she made a terrible remark about Obama that surprised me because our parents never raised us to talk the way she did. She has a college degree and I only have a high school degree. We helped her get where she is at today. At any rate I got mad at her and said now you know how a lot of us feel for the last 8 yrs. We feel we need a tax break. My husband and I don't have children. We are almost at a point of not speaking anymore. I love her but I can't stand her being a republican. We come from a long line of democrats and military way of life. We have come to a truce sorta of.

It sure seems like a lot longer than 3 months since I quit Erickson's RedState in disgust after the FSR Georgia conflict. Going by Erick's comments, it seems they're all going off the deep end. I haven't really cared to go look for myself.

I was watching the Daily Show where they had the reporter from their show in Hillbilly town of Wallisa. They were interviewing customers in a bar. I was struck by one guy how gun ho he was for Palin and was hoping McCain wins. The reporter sorta joke about McCain deaths and would make her president. He had a smile on his face that kinda a showed he was hoping for that. Although he didn't say it. But the reporter was pushing it. He started laughing. I can't believe the republicans still don't seem to get it. This morning on CNN I was watching an interview with Norquist and Tony ? from Family Values and they still think the reason they lost was because they weren't conservative enough. They are going to try to unite the Reagan group that got them in the white house. But as long as they keep moving far to the right with the religious groups they will be out of power for a long time. People want to stay in the center. As a democrat I hope that our party learns that too or we will lose. Don't overreach on either side. We want our representatives to do their jobs.

and Beck has none. He also has very little insight if he doesn't see that all the people with 3 digit IQs thought the same thing and voted for Obama/Biden.

This is what happens when a former Top 40 DJ with stupid written across his forehead becomes a pundit. Likewise to Hannity and Limbaugh.

Glenn Beck was not lying. I've heard it from my boss and his friends.
A stiff dick has no conscience, but it has votes.
