OK, I know it's hard to imagine Glenn Beck getting much worse than his history-abusing eliminationist attacks on the progressive movement, or his constant smearing of anyone who works for President Obama as a likely Marxist.
But yesterday, he managed -- by unleashing an all-out attack on President Obama's family, and particularly his mother. It doesn't get much lower than that.
Of course, he opened the attack on Obama's family by saying that he was not attacking them. Really. And then he proceeded immediately to smear them:
I want you to know that I am by no means attacking his family. And in fact, I think after the first five minutes of the show tonight, you're actually going to feel sorry for the little boy, Barry Obama -- the boy, the little one. This little boy. He's so cute! I don't feel sorry for the man, but the tragedy of this kid's childhood is staggering!
Lessee ... you're not attacking his family, but then turn around and immediately claim that they abandoned the poor little kid. Come again?
His parents, seemingly, from what you can piece together, his parents seemingly placed radical politics over everything else, including their little boy!
I am not one to talk. I grew up with a Dad who worked all the time. He was a small business owner, he owned the city bakery in Mount Vernon, Washington. And, um the only time I saw him was at work. I work all the time. My kids come to work, and we spend time at my job, or we travel together. A lot of us do this. We have long hours and we support our families.
But how many of us have been abandoned for the bakery? Or my job? Or your job? Would you ever leave your kid for that?
How about -- how many of us have been abandoned for a Marxist political theory? Or politics? This didn't happen to little Barack Obama once but twice. Both parents!
Of course, Obama's father did indeed essentially abandon his family -- but it wasn't for politics, it was for personal ambition: he wanted to attend Harvard without the encumbrances of a wife and tiny son. The senior Obama was not a particularly admirable guy.
But then Beck turns to the subject of Obama's late mother, who Obama himself described as "the one who was the single constant in my life," and "that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her."
How does Beck describe her? Why, as a commie sympathizer, of course:
She was described by a friend as, quote, "a fellow traveler." If anybody who reads about progressives and Marxism, you recognize that language.
Yes indeed we do. "Fellow traveler" is what the McCarthyite Red-baiters of the 1950s liked to call liberals. Of course, the proof for Beck is that Dunham actually supported Adlai Stevenson in the 1956 election. Impressive, no?
Dunham later left to Hawaii, to travel to Indonesia for a second time, and then she left her son to move to Pakistan. She left her son with her parents. This is the second time this poor little boy was left by a parent!
This is complete and utter rubbish. Stanley Ann Dunham did not at any time "abandon" her son, and Beck's claim that she did is a filthy smear of the lowest sort.
It was at the East-West Center that Dunham met Lolo Soetoro, a student from Indonesia. They married in 1966 or 1967 and moved with six-year-old Barack to Jakarta, Indonesia, just after the unrest surrounding the ascent of Suharto. ... In Indonesia, Dunham enriched her son's education with correspondence courses in English, recordings of Mahalia Jackson, and speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. She sent the young Obama back to Hawaii to attend Punahou School rather than having him stay in Asia with her. Madelyn Dunham's job as a vice-president at the Bank of Hawaii helped pay the steep tuition, with some assistance from a scholarship. ... Ann Dunham left Soetoro in 1972, returning to Hawaii and reuniting with her son Barack for several years.
... Dunham returned to graduate school in Honolulu in 1974, while raising Barack and Maya. When Dunham returned to Indonesia for field work in 1975 with Maya, after three years in Honolulu, Barack chose not to go, preferring to finish high school in Hawaii while living with his grandparents.
So, to quickly recap: Ann Dunham never "abandoned" Barack Obama. She did send him to a private school for the sake of giving him an elite education -- which is hardly the same as abandonment. And when she returned to Indonesia to conduct field work as an anthropologist, the teenaged Obama chose to stay in Hawaii with his grandparents instead -- again, nothing particularly unusual about that.
And for what it's worth, Dunham didn't go to work in Pakistan until the late 1980s, by which time she was conducting work for the Asia Development Bank (which suggests, coincidentally, that Dunham was not exactly an opponent of capitalism). And "little Barry" by that time was a full-grown man in his 20s.
There's a lot more wrong with Beck's attack on Obama's family, particularly his smearing of Obama's grandparents as likely Marxists because they attended a Unitarian Church.
But if nothing else, it proves something we've already come to know: There is no depth to which Glenn Beck will not sink.
And at this point, he's just wallowing in scum.
"He has reached rock bottom and is starting to dig."
I bet that blue sweater is starting to itch.
I think it's Hot Coco & Marsh-Mellows time for Mr. Beck and his brain cells. He told us what he really thinks, and we rejected it. Any more of this would just be self indulgence on his part.

This is nothing but racism, pure and simple. Beck is a racist.

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
His meltdown is going to be spectacular. The projection is unreal. Beck's mom and step-brother commit suicide, yet Obama's mother is the one with abandonment issues. He's crossing a line here, and the consequences are his and his alone. He deserves everything that's coming to him. But he'll whine his way out, and his base will eat it up.
This stupid fool is going to come a bad end. Attacking Obama's mother is crossing the line. Accidents do happen. Hopefully soon.
I any event, every time he does this he creates a new low, and then thinks he can go another step. It leads me to believe that his next rant will be crime.
Unfortunately, he will become a martyr for the right if he is arrested.

all this is coming from the man who publicly ridiculed a colleague about the colleague's wife's miscarriage. Even Beck's wife thought he was wrong in doing that, but he showed no remorse. There's nothing so ugly that he will not say.
Someone would marry him?
needs to know more about his wife? How has he protected her privacy so far?

About half of his show every day he is repeating stuff he has said either the day before or recently. He just changes the pictures on the chalk board around and draws arrows in different directions.

that Beck's mother didn't commit suicide, but her death was instead labeled an accidental drowning. She'd been out on a boat with a friend, and the investigating officers found evidence of alcohol consumption. He made up the 'suicide' bit.
This was supposed to have been in response to real_earl and annaleigh. Not sure why it ended up down here.
FB
99%
On May 15, 1979, his mother drowned in Puget Sound, just west of Tacoma, Washington.[11] A man who had taken her out in a small boat also drowned. A Tacoma police report stated that Mary Beck "appeared to be a classic drowning victim", but a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have intentionally jumped overboard.[11] Beck has described his mother's death as a suicide in interviews during television and radio broadcasts
Once again, Glenn Beck uses projection. Just because Beck had a terrible childhood, feeling abandoned by his father and being raised by a mother that suffered from depression, that doesn't mean that Obama had a terrible childhood. Obama never complained about his childhood. When Beck speaks to the camera, he thinks that he is looking in the mirror and then projects his own craziness onto others.
Every second of attention this clown gets gives him more power.
Don't feed the troll...
...won't make it go away.
Not that Beck is by any means a force of nature, but ignoring him only allows him to believe he can get away with these things.
I say Beck should be punished severely until he learns some manners.
if everyone did ignore him, his ratings would vanish, Fox would drop him and he'd vanish into obscurity. The problem is that scenario is that it's completely unrealistic. So, Beck should just be exposed, shown for the fool, incompetent, ugly mean-spirited bully that he is, and whether anyone wants to be permanently associated with that. I hope this starts a trend of people turning him off now, because usually unjustified family attacks will piss people off.

Maddow & Ed Schultz were really the lefty versions of Beck, Hannity & O'Reilly, as the false equivalency mongers keep saying, perhaps Olbermann et al. could match Beck's tit with this tat:

or this one:

or this one:

I mean, if we're going after presidents' families and all, there's a lot more red meat in the Bush household than there is in the Obama household.
All this, and he still becomes the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, much less the first black president? Not to mention, like Bill Clinton, Obama can relate to common people and know what it is like to be poor and not have the things you need. I'm sure Mitt Romney with his family-first Mormon upbringing had a swell childhood, but he will never be president.
I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
He was suggesting that the President was a Marxist or socialist or communist, due to the fact that his family members were all one or all of those things. This was his explanation why the President is who he is and believes as he does. In other words Beck was making his own justification for saying what he does.....minus facts.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I only see little bits and pieces like this but it appears to me that 3 people gathering on a street corner is the seed of Marxism to him.
I agree: I think Beck should do a follow-up on W's family. I think he would spend his entire show just with the nefarious deeds of Poppy.
If a drone kills a child in Kandahar, do the crying parents make a sound?
I got so upset watching his show yesterday because I knew he was fu*king lying. I read Obama's book and the way Beck was screwing with the facts was just ugly. You don't talk about someone's family like that.
Beck has not only stepped over the line, he was a total asshole while doing it. He was speaking of the only parents and grandparents Obama ever knew and he was speaking of them with disrespect and lies. I hope to hell Obama didn't see any of this because I'm afraid it would hurt him deeply and I don't think any of us want that.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
They should sue him for slander.
doing to that Muslim cleric?
Wouldnt it be great if he did see it and came down on him hard?
I know thats stooping low (real low) and "when you roll with pigs" etc, etc ...
But man, this is La Familia we are talking about here.
Obama should get his most serious face on look right into the camera and give his best "Look ... up till now I've tried to be civil with this clown" and make Beck piss himself with his words.
You don't mess with someones family ... he should make an exception and an example.
It'll never happen but still fun to imagine.
and who knows how many for Cheney seems like we could afford a few to shadow Beck 24/7 just for kicks.
And it shows - Barack Obama divorced his 1st wife, has a history of alcohol and drug abuse, is a college drop out and has been shown over and over again to make up stories to support his politics - oh, wait, that's Glenn Beck. Projection, anyone?
Apart from Beck's ugly and false characterization, a lot of people can actually relate to parents divorcing or living with grandparents. He just can't imagine a family in which people are supportive of one another.
Cons often accuse Libs of doing things that they would do - they simply can't imagine that anyone would do differently.
Many also believe that the bible makes them moral. That without the bible, normal people would be as morally corrupt as Republicans, Rovians, and Beck deciples.

that is one sorry list of companies. seems like a list of AM radio advertisers, without the Garlique Brand ads of course. A list like that sure seems to be boycott proof.
Thiis is a very emotional issue....it will motivate people you tell. It may even motivate some of Beck's views to complain. It's also not as much about threat of boycott, it's about whether those sponsors what to be PERMANENTLY associated with filth like this. This is a perfect time to strike. Just be polite and show the facts.
I think his true followers dislike the President so much they probably didn't feel a damn thing about what he said except maybe they felt justified for the way they feel.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The only thing his followers heard was 'marxist'.
They heard, a white woman married a black man. The black man walked out on the white woman. The black boy was raised by white grandparents. Of course people like this have to be marxist.

trying to raise some sort of responce from Obama so he can then claim that "the president is out to get me". this has been a running theme latey with the repube talking heads. it is also one of the oldest ratings tricks in the history of broadcasting, pick a fight with someone powerful and use that to self promote and raise the ratings. shock jock 101.

It is seriously time for Beck to be dealt with.

At the end of the bs he goes to his red phone and asks Obama to call him if he's wrong about anything he said. That's when I about blew my top. The fu*king nerve of him to try to engage the President by telling lies about his family members, all of whom are dead.

It's part of a Democratic Party Plan to thoroughly destroy the opposition. See: http://glennbeckisreallyademocrat.com
me-oww!
always turn on their own when they don't make headway with their nutty agenda. Just ask Orly Taitz.
They don't need that. They have "Obama made him say those things" to bank on.
In order to gain the political power they've enjoyed for decades, Republican moderates and fiscal conservatives made a pact with the devil (faux Christians, bigots, racists, sexists - teabaggers) to achieve the numbers they needed to defeat Democrats. They made a strategic decision to manipulate and exploit the ignorance, fears and hatreds of dysfunctional and vulnerable voters in order to win elections rather than lose them by being intellectually and morally honest.
Today, those who conspired with the devil are caught between wanting to disassociate themselves with and casting out the demons they empowered and the karmic reality that they don't have the numbers to hold on to or regain power without continuing to accept and "advocate" the immoral values, hypocrisies and corruptions that are dividing and destroying their party.
The survival of today's shrinking Republican Party is so dependent on extremism that they have no significant power left WITH or WITHOUT the support of America's increasingly pernicious lunatic fringe.
The idiom "caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" is appropriate as Republicans are facing the dilemma of choosing between two equally undesirable alternatives that both result in Republican impotence in mainstream American politics. They are suffering the consequences of their treachery.
Their irresponsible propping up of George W. Bush cost them their credibility, and the dysfunctions of teabaggers, birthers and deathers exacerbated by the irresponsible exhortations of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are costing them their viability.
I'm not abusing you..slap...I'm doing it for your own good..slap...classic, Beck is a classic abuser.
In the last half of his show tonight he is whining about SEIU getting sponsors to boycott his show. He is just a victim of the left. If he had no heart for Obama yesterday, I have no heart for his freakshow.

All I can say is that I will be cheering on the day that this man's (?) Karma catches up with him.

I think the thing that's driving him is his belief that he can personally make a difference to the right's cause.
I believe he intends to incite real and comprehensive violence on the streets of America. Glenn Beck wants to see blood shed.
Additionally - HE is the one with deeply seated racism issues. He absolutely can't stand that there is a "black" man in the White House. Glenn Beck is all about the "uppity negro" -- he wants to see that changed and he wants credit for doing it.
He can't be caught being "racist" of course - so he is calling it everything else. He's trying to find a trigger for his Beck-bots.
This attack on Obama's mother is a sign of Beck's desperation - he believes he can have people rioting in the streets if he just says the right thing - that's what he is searching for - the line of commentary that will send Americans into the street to take the lives of other Americans and oust an uppity black man from the White House.

What a waste of time - "sir, all television providers carry FOX News..." Yikes. Yes, but all providers don't advertise during the Glenn Beck program. "They put the commercials where they want to..."

I've seen some stuff, man. And some thangs...
heard more dog whistles than I could count. My take:
1) This is a good chance for Beck to refer to Obama as a "boy" and not get called out for it.
2) Communist/Nietsche/Unitarian/Critical Theory = all bad, all products of higher education, which is bad and elitist and scary. "Critical Theory" in dogwhistle means "critical of/hates the USA."
3) The pseudo-background on Obama's parents/grandparents is to show that Obama's rotten to the core; indeed, how could he be otherwise w/all these demons influencing him? "Kid didn't have a chance."
And GBK actually said "distri-bute."
Anyone know which Televangelist College GBK went to? He's got the gesticulating down pat, supported by the irrefutable blackboard. I just hope all the money he makes is worth being this crazy for.

takes a lot of meds. He's the same kind of crazy that Jim Jones and some of those cult leaders were/are. His followers are invested in not seeing it b/c his frothing spews exactly what they wish to say, as uninformed and nuts as are the things they believe. Anger is no substitite for knowledge.

He doesn't get to me. I don't pay him any mind at all.
He'll self destruct. And when he does, he'll take the whole teabagger movement with him. I don't watch him or listen to him.
True, some of his remarks have gotten to me in the past. But not from watching his show. I refuse to do so.
Why would I watch his show? Why would I listen to his show?
He'll implode in the near future. Probably somewhere around Nov 5th.
I will sat this though. His remarks about Obama's Mom, was certainly well below anything he's said so far. Everyone has or had a mom.
Moms, wives, and children are off limits. He knows this. He's bottom feeding. Even some of the teabaggers have to say this is too low. Even for Beckerheads.

I'll bet a steak dinner that, aside from several broad generalizations capable of being stated in probably no more than 3 sentences, Glenn Beck would have virtually nothing to say -- certainly, nothing of substance -- as to what, specifically, constitutes "Marxist Theory". Indeed, one must wonder whether he has ever read ANYTHING at all by Marx (forget about Beck having ever even heard of, much less read, the early orthodox marxists, left marxists, western marxists, or any of the thousands of writers who have drawn upon the marxist intellectual tradition.)
The elephant in the room is that no one -- not Glenn Beck, not his supporters, and not even his detractors -- actually address "marxist theory", much less seek to apply it to contemporary affairs.
that's all anyone needs to know. Filthy Reds!
BTW, in other parts of the world red=liberal, blue=conservation. Which stupid set of assclowns set this country up backwards about 10 years ago with this blue=dem red=neoconasshole? Red is for commies, the near ultimate left...
Oh fuck. It was that moron Russert. thanks, idiot.
me-oww!
once again, here are a bunch of followers.
every one of the comments made by you UNAMERICANS are as nasty as i have seen i ANY site. SPEWED with hatred toward an individual who speaks out and asks QUESTIONS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO ARE THE PEOPLE LAUNCHING SUCH ATTACKS ON THIS SITE?
normal, concerned americans that actually believe in constitution and FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, hopefully soon? writes one individual and that is ok? U R PATHETIC...
Glenn Beck points out important information about the values that were instilled in the individual who holds our highest office, and no one cares? REALLY? it doesnt make a difference to anyone that our president, i his own words he says about his college days, " i chose my friends carefully: the more politically active black students; the foreign students; the chicanos; the marxist professors. "
There are some that say he has no proof, well i beg to differ with each and every one of you. i dare you to go to the glenn beck site and find one piece of information that he has done RESEARCH on and denounce it as untrue with FACTS that state so. YOU CANT and thats why there will be no lawsuit and thats why no one replies except for all the ridiculous vicious comments.
those who condemn beck, who is probably the most patriotic american we actually HAVE fighting for the truth to come out; to the american people, BEFORE its too late, for our wonderful country.
FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA, is that truthfully what you want? is everyone who visits this site with such hatred really in such disgust with the way our country is that we need to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA? do you even KNOW WHAT YOUR PRESIDENT MEANS BY THAT STATEMENT????
you should be thatnkful that there are americans that still do care about our HISTORY and our RIGHTS that are slowly being taken away by the BIG GOVERNMENT PLANS that are in store for us, sadly.
NO ONE GETS IT? PASS A HEALTHCARE BILL THAT WE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS INSIDE? A BILL THAT IS PUTTING my childrens future in debt? and still no questions? HOW MANY STATES ARE FILING THAT IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO MANDATE WE PAY FOR ANYTHING???? do you not understand that our fore fathers wanted this EXACT situation NOT TO HAPPEN and thats why we have the bill of rights????
i say KUDOS TO GLENN BECK for having the courage, WHEN NO OTHER NEWS MEDIA STATION HAS THE NERVE, to ask the questions that we average, CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS are thinking.
It does matter to me that my president was raised going to a church that taught communism, it does matter to me that he sought out radical marxist professors while in college, it does matter to me that he sat listening to a rev. for 20 years spewing hate (rev wright and if you say hes not a socialist U R CRAZY) towards america ITSELF and most of all it does matter to me that NO ONE ELSE IS COVERING IT.
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT I AM WRONG AND EVERY NUT ON THIS SITE, THAT HASNT WATCHED ONE MINUTE OF BECK BUT HAS A COMMENT, IS CORRECT AND THAT THE PRESIDENT TRULY DOES HOLD OUR FORE FATHERS VALUES CLOSE TO HIS HEART. I HATE TO THINK OF MY CHILDREN GROWING UP IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT AS FREE AS WE ONCE WERE BECAUSE MY GENERATION DROPPED THE BALL AND LET THIS SHIT HAPPEN...
BUT FOR ONE MINUTE STOP & THINK, WHAT IF THAT CRAZY BECK GUY IS RIGHT, WHAT IF THE PRESIDENT TRULY DOES NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT OUR FORE FATHERS PLAN FOR FREEDOM WAS AND HOW TO PROTECT IT. WHAT IF WE WAKE UP ONE DAY AND IT IS TOO LATE, WHAT THEN???
everyones sorry but still it happend....at least i can say i tried my hardest for the truth, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, TO COME OUT...
ask yourself now~ does it matter if we allow ourselves to become more like the european nations OR DO WE WANNA BE TRUE AMERICANS AND GET OUR COUNTRY BACK TO NUMBER ONE???
WE ARE AMERICANS DAMN IT, IT USED TO MEAN SOMETHING!!!
[But flaggers, it looks like so much fun. And this one won't be back-Sitemonitor]
Wipe the spittle off your chin, champ.
They don't see that their hero is chronically, deeply, mentally ill. And I'm not name-calling here. Beck's deeply sick.
The fact that Beck-bots don't recognize this speaks to their gullibility and stupidity. Sorry - it just can't be called ignorance. These people are truly stupid.

I wonder if this moron knows about how his hero fakes his crying?

and a serious paragraph deficiency. I'm sorry to tell you that it is unreadable and you'll henceforth be mocked and/or dismissed. Teabaggers and Glenn Beck fans bring out the literacy in me and I cannot help it if I have to bemoan the unreadability of this post. That is all.

Get well soon, sick and tired. All is well, and Yes we can. Just keep repeating this simple truth. This is America. Get up, get out, and check it out. It's awsum.
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob"
-= Franklin Delano Roosevelt =-
You are an idiot.
. . . yes, almost all of the comments above are little more than vitriol. But it does not follow that Mr. Beck is therefore "right".
Beck simply indulges in grotesque exaggerations and spectacle. He exploits simplistic ideas ("fore fathers' values") and indulges in reductive thinking ("they are against YOU!").
And you appear to be doing the same. I mean, what exactly does it mean to propose that your children might "grow up in a country that is not as free as we once were . . ."??? That statement is so hopelessly vague as to be meaningless. It is also a facially presumptuous remark (for example, I am guessing that you are not a 75 year-old woman who grew up in the deep south).
By the way, you might have a better chance at convincing people to appreciate your point of view if you did not scream at them (which is what you are effectively doing by adopting all-caps).
I think for this one, beck's latest show, we're allowed a little vitriol.
*
these things you speak of, it couldn't possibly be because it's all a figment of Beck's wild, and fetid imagination, now could it? ;)
I've never seen change without a fire
is thar sick and tired sounds serious.
since it seems to be common among Beck's fans.

They're completely brainwashed. Think David Koresh.

relates to Beck's chalkboard diagrams to nowhere, and his vick's vaporub induced tears.
See, if this were a teevee studio, becksminime would have a blackboard, chalk, pictures, a pointer, and a jar of Vick's handy whenever she wanted to drive home a point with tears, like that last, all caps sentence.
Oh, and this positively SCREAMS at me:
So which is it? You don't know what's in it, or you do know, and it's putting your kids "future in debt?"
Where were these nutty assholes when Bush was selling the country down the river? Oh that's right. They were busy calling the likes of us traitors and unAmerican for being against unchecked spending, the war, warrantless wiretapping, the suspension of habeas and other illegal bullshit--the real removal of our rights and war crimes.
me-oww!
"...tell me, oh random words on a chalkboard ..."*

But yes, and it's funny that they are too dense to realize that it's their own damn faults they don't know what's in the bill and they have no place pontificating about something they haven't even bothered to educate themselves about it...

.... I really resemble that remark!
BTW Folks: If it ever really gets too crazy down there ... come up north!
We actually welcome and admire funny, smart, creative, intelligent people!
We havent created an entire Media Empire to shut them out ... not yet anyway.

Read sickening tired's post aloud and scream out the stuff in caps. It sounds like a Sam Kennison routine.
a nutted up nutbag from Nutsville, and someone who posts loads on AOL boards
me-oww!
I wonder if the Conservative is still working off their free 2500-hours promo disc? :)
Study the symptoms not the virus...
Hey "sicko and tired" , you're right , we are Americans but Beck is a Fascist if anything , a chronic liar and a lunatic who makes a living sabotaging the US government and this country ... brainwashing gullible fools like yourself . You're a real rocket scientist pal , it's too bad stupidity isn't a valuable commodity , you would be on the Forbes richest list in no time , without a doubt .
professional help. Sad and pathetic. With no life whatsoever. Might want to turn off that tube.
BTW, I'm so glad this thread stungyou so bad you felkt the need to go through registration, and type an endless deranged rant. This article must have REALLY stung your tired ass. Thank you, your rantings make my day.
Also, I can just see you stamping your little feet and screeching as you typed that. Thanks again for the laugh, nutbag.
And even more fun to know that he's banned now, and so can't respond to any of OUR responses to his inane screed.

"does it matter if we allow ourselves to become more like the european nations..."
hell damn yeah girl! I'd SLAY to be more like Denmark, the happiest place in the world, or the Netherlands, where you can smoke pot, visit prostitutes or choose to die if you are ill and in loads of pain, you'll never get better, and a doctor or two agree. Also, the bike riding. Healthcare costs spread throughout society, like the cost of roads, fire and police, schools. Lots of vacation and less stress and a higher standard of living overall.
"OR DO WE WANNA BE TRUE AMERICANS AND GET OUR COUNTRY BACK TO NUMBER ONE???"
Oh hell no. Our number ones are pissy and nasty. We were never number one in the shit that counts. You and your mentor are just too fucking stupid to know it.
me-oww!
Hey, Miss Kitty.
I've lived in The Netherlands for 4 years.....loved it. Not once did I ever hear anyone complain about their taxes and, in fact, I've had people praise their system because it takes care of people's health needs very well; they take care of their elderly very well.
The 5 weeks of vacation a year are wonderful! I once had a co-worker from Finland ask me, "how do you stand it," living in the United States? I asked her what she meant. She said, you only have 2 weeks of vacation a year!
About smoking pot and visiting prostitutes....I won't admit whether or not I did this!
Wow, really. This much angst for a president who really hasn't changed things all that much?
Man, you must have been livid under Bush? You must have filled blog after blog with your disgust of how he was wrecking our country and selling off your childrens futures. Starting a war against a nation on trumped up charges, lying about WMD's, outing a CIA agent, having backdoor deals with the energy cartels about carving up Iraq, Borrowing 900 billion dollars to pay for tax cuts to the rich and funding for his wars, 700 billion dollars for the bailout, Letting an entire city and most of it's state drown during Katrina, wire tapping civilians, extreme rendition, torture, Abu Ghraib . . .
Yep,your hero Glenn must have been really peeved during that time, Oh, wait, HE WASN'T!
What about the $9 billion that was simply "lost" by Paul Bremer when he was head of the CPA over in Iraq?
Oh, well....that's just a pittance compared to the hundreds of billions you have mentioned, DarkStar.
Hi Glenn!! Shouldn't you be drawing pictures for tomorrows show instead of giving us all a good laugh here at C&L. But thanks for the laugh. And by the way you're right about one thing - we used to be Americans alright until a small portion of us started swallowing Rupert Murdochs swill and spewing out hatred towards our once fine country.
You sure it was Glenn? I thought it might have been Sarah or Michelle Bachmann.
I just want to say thank you.
Your rant just made my day.
I get home, and I see this absolutely ridiculous rant, and it made me crack up. But stop and think for a minute. What if Beck really is absofuckinlutely insane?
Which he is. Any rational minded person can see he's nothing more than a shock jock. And the lesser intelligent buy his bullshit lock, stock and barrel. And they actually believe him. As if he's some kind of prophet.
So, what does that make you?
I'll say this. I don't know if I should call you stupid, ignorant, or gullible. Now that I think about it, all 3.
I don't know why I'm responding to you. Call it a guilty pleasure.
And trust me, the pleasure is all mine.
Step away from the bottle,the pipe and whatever else you do.
The truth is right in front of you. Obama is a Reagan Democrat.
OHHHhhhhh, say it ain't so..... ok, maybe he's not a full fledged Reagan Dem, But he's pretty damn close.
I swear sometimes you Beckerheads are just too much.
Thanks for the laugh.
