Beck on health care: "We're the young girl saying 'no, no, help me,' and the government is Roman Polanski"
By Nicole Belle Tuesday Nov 17, 2009 10:00amJust when you think he can't get any more insane and stupid, Glenn Beck manages to pluck yet another feather from the plumage:
Oy.
Besides the conundrum of how it is that someone this clearly insane is given multiple national platforms to rant and rave as lucidly as the crazy homeless guy downtown, I really can't believe that we're now getting to the point that we're likening health care reform (something the majority of the country wants, mind you) to forced rape of a minor.
We had visitors from Denmark staying with us just recently, and they were just dumbfounded by the asinine and completely fact-free crap that passes for news coverage here, especially when it comes to health reform. From a country where universal health care is a given, listening to the fear-mongering on Fox News and other news channels I'm forced to watch for C&L made them wonder about the collective IQ of American citizens. Sadly, I was hard-pressed to defend us in the face of such loonies like Beck.
I take solace in the thought that when my children are my age, we will likely have fought mightily and won universal single payer health care for all Americans (because it really is the only thing that makes sense) and they'll look back at old tape of Glenn Beck and say, "Sheesh, no wonder it was such a battle, look at this idiocy," and shake their heads ruefully at the frightened, non-thinking people that watched him.

....than I care to delve.
I just had a flash of Beck in blonde pigtails surrounded by his favorite nazi propaganda acting out some role playing fantasy. I must go bleach my brain now.
Glenn Beck reads the Good Book daily...Sometimes even hourly.
;>)
What a revolting, despicable little pig!
Where does Beck go from here? We're 10 months into (at least) a 48 month Presidency, and he's resorting to lines like this? What an amazing douchebag.
i am ready to press charges against beck
for mental abuse by airway. what a fucking
piece of crap he is. if he has children,
they must be the most fucked up kids you
will ever encounter.
He does have kids and I believe one is developmentally challenged (dont quote me on that, I'm not sure).
His imagery is quite obviously sick and twisted, promoted from the vague thoughts that meander in what passes for his mind. He needs men in white uniforms and large nets to chase him down and drag him away, he's going to implode on tv one night and it wont be pretty.
to feed his audience.
Just different drugs of choice.
Beck's could very well be the first program to have jumped the shark before its first episode, thereby gaining an ironic ratings boost from the insane and the addicted who can't get enough of the wreckage.
hoping he doesn't make it all the way over that shark ...then he can be the young swimmer crying no,no,no ...
frikken loon should not be on tee veee.
That's oy gevalt to you.
Oy gelfilte fish
Oy matzoh balls
(There must be a lot of matzohs walking around funny).
A guy hands a slice of matzoh to a blind panhandler. After a few seconds, the blind panhandler says, "Who writes this crap?" ;-)
Beck is one putz and nudnik who is meshuga and no macher or maven. His show, one megillah and mishmash. Oy gevalt, such a shlemiel.
i don't think beck understands the difference btwn rape and statutory rape...
(note: this is not a defense of roman)
http://img1.photographersdirect.com/img/17619...
not statutory. Please don't start with the "it wasn't rape-rape" business. Giving an ailing 13 year old little girl drugs under the guise of helping her, then vaginally and anally raping her despite her protests is NOT statutory.
sorry, no, i have not followed the case at all, nor read her testimony. i read it was statutory rape, that is the end of my following of this celeb news.
some point during the night (I forget if it was an anxiety attack or asthma) and he gave her a 'lude and told her it would make her feel better. What it actually did was make her unable to struggle.
i should know better what i am writing about before i comment. especially something as deadly serious as this. i do appreciate the correction, i won't make the same blunder again.
and, fwiw, that is really effin' sick.
And Glenn's terrible too for dragging this into his own purposes...
...girl Glenn Beck raped and murdered in 1990? This is all the more repulsive because of the controversy surrounding the possible rape and death of a girl in 1990 at the hands of Glenn Beck.
he ate her heart. How sick is that?!
I feel sorry for who ever pulled the shortest straw and was forced to watch this idiot for C&L.
they strap them in a chair so they can't jump out a window.
Otherwise, we are truly facing an idiocracy.
My parents' generation thought that interracial relationships were scandalous (and frankly, illegal in some states when I was a toddler).
My generation doesn't see an issue.
My kids' generation see nothing wrong with gay marriage (look at Will Phillips), though my generation seems to have a hard time getting over it.
Likewise, we will fight relentlessly to get truly universal coverage, but we will have it when my kids are my age, and they'll wonder why such a no-brainer choice was so difficult.
I sincerely wish our evolution could speed up a little bit. It seems to take us so long to accept the reality of situations.
... idiots like Beck surface in every generation. We had 'em during the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Japanese Internment, the McCarthy Era, and now with the Beck/Dobbs/Minuteman clown car act.
I'm hoping you're right, and our grandchildren aren't sitting there watching Hannity O'Beckly and Rush Malkin and wondering why it still flies.
Whether we'll actually have single payer health care by the time the current generation of children is rearing its own children or grandchildren, I'm not sure, but I do believe that the reason Know Knothing Knation is so insane right now is that it's losing.
From its inception, the history of our country is one of hard-fought success after hard-fought success against those in charge who extolled the words "liberty" and "equality" but who actually desired slavery and bigotry. They so desired out of fear, ignorance or greed, they have continually watched power slip from their grasp, inch by gut wrenching inch.
As long as we don't give up, that arc of history will continue to bend toward justice.
... with something I was saying to a friend.
The natural state of the world is change, not stasis. Liberals understand this, and progressives largely seek to bring about positive change.
Conservatives, on the other hand, cling to a static worldview. The current crop of nutjobs on the airwaves and the teabaggers don't want anything to change. It makes them uncomfortable. It makes them fearful. It makes them angry. And then it drives them insane, because they can't cope with change, won't accept change, insist on fighting it.
But change keeps happening. The conservatives, by necessity, have grown more rigid, more unyielding. They seek to demonize and ridicule the process of change, or that the world needs to change at all. If it was good in the 1950's, it's good now - and change from that standard needs to be punished, needs to be beaten back, thrown down and stomped on.
It's crippling them, just as it is/has crippled their thought processes, such that they talk tough about terror in one breath, then wet themselves over how allowing these people anywhere near American soil is imperiling our nation.
Progressive or Regressive. The choice of which one to be is obvious to anyone who understands the world around them.
Ignorance is a terrible thing. It restricts the mind's ability to put things in context.
I'm afraid as we become a more ignorant and greedy nation, idiots like Beck will continue to multiply.
Why doesn't he end the suspense and just bite the head off a chicken on camera and scream..."This is what Obama is doing to our country!!"
That would just be crazy...
Oh crap, I think you just gave his handlers/producers an idea.
Producer One: Beck. Beckie boy, we want you bite off a head of chicken.
Beck: A baby chicken?
Producer One: No, that wouldn't... Run me the numbers on a baby chicken.
Producer Two: A baby chicken would give us more Youtube hits, but we shouldn't be biting the heads of babies, that would make us look disingenuous with our arguments.
(a beat)
Beck, Producer One: We go with the baby chicken.
However, the ointment that is healing us at this moment is the fact that somehow, someway this great country of ours elected a formidably intelligent President who we can be proud as our representative and this is how most of the world sees us.
Up until January of this year, the world saw us as a nation of Beck's and Limbaughs. Being half French ( by birth ) and working almsot exclusively in Europe I had to listen to the same comments over and over again from my friends and colleagues the world over. It got to the point where I prefaced ( tactfully..when I wanted to scream it first ) that I didn't vote for Bush the 1st or the 2nd.
I hope that your right, that our children will one day look back at the insanity that is the right wing and laugh at how proposterous they were, but unfortunately we must live with them now. What a farce !
However, as mentioned, I take solace when I see Obama bowing to the Emperor of Japan, because it is a show of respect. These are the kind of gestures that come from a President who is confident and intelligent. Let's hope that 2012 does not ring in a change in command, because if the Rep's win, I am moving in with my socialist friends the cheese eating surrender monkeys. =)
Well this is hardly surprising for someone like Bend it like Beck.
What was more interesting to me was the Tekken 6 ad on this page. Tekken's ****ing awesome
Glenn is so despicable and f**ked in the head.
Ok, let it be known, I'm a childhood rape survivor. If anyone wants to point me in the direction of a petition, or where to send emails or letters, feel free. Because this bastard is sick, and I'm happy to pitch in.
Politics is so retarded sometimes. All it takes is for some insecure rethug mofo to whine or "slam" or just be stupid and all the political web sites are on it like flies on shit.
Yes....nothing to see here. Just move along.
I guess this little Beck tidbit is even too extreme for the extremist apologists to apologize for.
In general terms, the republican clowns play Dems by saying outrageous things. Any attention is what they seek, good or bad.
Im waiting for a giant cane to rope Beck off the stage and for him to be carried away in a straight jacket.
Yes sir, that's our Beck. A man who has no limits to the insane words he utters. His mind seems to be a really nasty seamy place where nothing much moves except sick and dying vermin.

I think the years of drug and alcohol abuse fried his brain. He's a perfect anti-drug ad.
Glenn Beck = what drugs do to the brain.
Actually, Glenn, in your metaphorical scenario, you're the one trying to stop the little girl being helped.
Polanski all those years ago when she was just a child is doing *OK* despite Glenn's....UGH. You know.
young girls screaming 'no, no", it'd be Beck. He still hasn't proven that he did not rape and murder that 13 year old and ate her heart. How do we know it's not true?
Because didn't Beck rape AND murder a little girl back in the early nineties? I mean, I have no proof he did, but that doesn't mean he's not a child raping murderer, does it? He doesn't deny it, so it must be true. Why is he hiding his child raping tendencies from all his loyal viewers?
Do you have a phone that only he knows the number for? Has he called you to deny this story? If he hasn't, according to his own logic, then the story must be true.
The Beck Truth Hotline. He has not called yet.
http://gb1990.com
he might have eaten her heart too. I think that's an important detail, that heart eating thing. He may or may not have done it, but, as you say, he has made no attempt to disprove it. If I had raped and murdered a girl and eaten her heart, I wouldn't want to talk about it either. Is this further proof that he is guilty? I think yes. Otherwise, why doesn't he talk about it?
He did?!?! Has he denied it? Why are the authorities not investigating? Is Murdoch using his power to suppress the info and the investigation? I'm just askin' questions.
The guy is one sick fu*k who makes a living trying to stir up trouble for no other reason that his own ego and bank account.
In early August I had more own confrontation with one of the Obama=Hitler sign bearers. Fortunately it was only verbal. I told him that my father was in lthe 84th Division of the US Army and fought in Holland and Germany at the end of the war. While he never personally saw any of the concentration camps, he had observed some of the atrocities the Nazis had committed in Europe and learned of others from fellow soldiers. The tea party sign holder was probably in his late 20s or early 30s. I told him that I found his sign offensive to my late father and to all those victims of Hitler. And then told him that if he wanted to find a potential link between then and now, this country and Nazi Germany, it would be in the form of Glenn Beck and Joseph Goebbels.
I don't know if any of it really registered with the guy. Probably not.
LOL all jobs suck after a while.
love deficit spending....
but they must have all been asleep these past decades....
in 1990. In that context and after watching this video, is he commenting about the possible statue of limitations in Polanski's case and how it will affect his very own allegations against him... or is he admitting guilt?
Discuss...
Yes.
I don't think you need "allegedly" there. He hasn't denied it, so he must have done it.
deny it at all...
In fact, the Glenn is part, a large part, of why this formerly great country is spiraling down the toilet so quickly. We may well achieve universal health coverage at some point in the future, but we may have to speak Chinese to get it.
The worst part is imagining the poor, deluded fools listening to him and nodding their heads as if they can actually comprehend an analogy just this side of insane.
we're the ones who are asked to purchase rape-kits and blamed for our clothing if it happens.
I cannot for the life of me understand why he would compare the government and health care to a case of rape. Couldn't he have thought of a better way to make his point or does he just love the shock factor of talking about children being raped?
The voices in his head are obviously having a bad day.
(about Beck) 2000 years from now.
I'm gonna live two thousand more years? Wow, I'm gonna be one old bitch by then.
Glenn Beck was reflecting on one fateful day back in 1990 when he met a young girl...
ranging from losing a video game, to flunking an important exam. So in a sense, I shouldn't be surprised that he would do this. But most people just say things like, "I really got raped by that Geometry exam" and leave it that. Glenn is so sick in the head that he goes further than that, comparing it to a specific rape of a little girl, and the sickening "no, no, no" part. It's beyond words.
...I don't think I've ever heard anyone "routinely" use the word rape for anything as trivial as an exam. Or anything trivial at all, for that matter.
It has been used, with justification, to refer to what's been done to the environment, but I certainly hope that no one adopts the word for anything other than the most serious offenses. Except of course for Glenn Beck, who can be counted on to exceed the limits of decency and responsible discourse at every opportunity.
Ideally, no one would pay any attention to anything Beck says. He's a really sick person with no sense of proportion and a twisted perspective on virtually everything he spews forth about.
There could be no sign more positive for this country than to have Beck's audience dwindle to nearly zero (for the right reasons) over a very short period of time. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be any chance of that happening.
The word "rape" is slowing losing its status as an impact word.
Use of it is in reference to voice the displeasure For example of the new Star Wars movies as in: "George Lucas raped my childhood."
The South Park guys did a great job highlighting the insane use of that word in that context a while back.
now, unfortunately. I hear it sometimes, and I post at a support board for survivors, and you'll see posts on a regular basis with a survivor venting about how much they hate hearing people their age throwing the word around so casually. Some of the posters have the courage to confront the idiocy, others aren't up to it.
...I read the PatriotNation (football) bulletin board yesterday and some lunkhead was claiming that the
"Pats were raped by the refs on Sunday..."
as a hyperbole. And people, like Beck, trying to exploit the concept (and the victims) of rape to score a cheap political point. He is not only exploiting the concept of rape, but he has upped his ante in his race to the bottom... by exploiting a very specific incident/victim of rape.

with the IQ of an asparragus.
Beck is a highly paid insane professional concern troll. Nothing more and there is nothing less.
Surely, there isn't anyone on the Left who believes there is any limit to Beck's stupidity, insanity, or grotesqueness. It's one of life's few remaining "guaranteeds."
Whatever Beck said yesterday, he will seek to "top" it today. It can't be long before Fox gives him a new program on which he sits around in a huge diaper and flings poo. And that show would be a gigantic hit on the Right.
I think Vitter already got that diaper gig.

U.S. Medical Prices Highest In the World
Posted by: Cathy Arnst on November 02

.
It's the cost-prices of medical treatment that's out of control in this country.
The second culprit is the total abuse and overuse of High Tech Diagnostic equipment. Much of this technology is even manufactured by divisions of these HMO's etc, quite a scam.
...think about it. How much can the simple operation of this equipment cost? Outside of manpower, energy and a slight consideration for time and wear and tear, where are the costs coming from?
Roman Polanski my arse. Fox News is Roman Polanski.
Beck is one sick fuck.
is that "the goverment is Sen Vitter who is telling the people if we want to see his diapers, and we're telling him no,no,no we want healthcare you dumbass"
Funding for Social Security and Medicare should be totally segregated and fixed so the money can't be taken or borrowed by any other branch of the government and the government be forced to pay off their IOU before they can buy back any other Bonds.
We are Now Borrowing money to finance charity and policing other nations; this has to stop.
It's past time to support Americans first and others from any left over abndance.
I wonder if Glenn has thought about doing a show on exorcism..... with himself as the subject. He already spews green slime and I'll bet his head can do 360's.
... have Bobby Jindal preside, with Sarah Palin and her witch-hunting pastor friend as backup.
The Human Gibberish Generator?
Me brain hurts.
... seriously dude, WTF?
freak posted whatever he did... :S
...we are like common sense, rationality and decency, and Glenn Beck is... well, Glenn Beck? Is that what he's trying to get at?
He meant to say that Glenn Beck is a member of the Manson Family and our hopes of having affordable health care are Sharon Tate.
beck is muddying up the waters, quite successfully, by using false equivalencies - comparing apples to oranges.
for instance, the Constitution lays out the framework for making law, but not the laws - hence the comparison to the health care bill is invalid.
glenn beck is dangerous because he is peddling pablum as protein
Billo is no longer the GOP coveted "most unhinged" pundent of the rightwing. I never thought I see anyone bring balance toward the O'Reilly factor show. They both have the creepy factor sexually toward women. But Glenn likes to dwell and discuss the matter more intently.
I have never thought Beck couldn't get either more insane or less intelligent. I must nevertheless give kudos to the man for creative insanity.
@"Glenn Beck manages to pluck yet another feather from the plumage:"
I think it's more like he managed to dip his minnow net into the Porta-Potty and come up with another turd.
but parrots/cockatiels are very susceptible to going insane if not given enough or the right kind of attention. You cannot ignore a parrot without dire consequences.
They will vocalize wildly and pluck all the feathers they can reach off. It's quite scary and unnerving to see.

I thought the analogy was quite appropos.
...look back at old tape of Glenn Beck and say, "Sheesh, no wonder it was such a battle, look at this idiocy," and shake their heads ruefully at the frightened, non-thinking people that watched him.
I would much rather relegate tapes of this loon to the fate of destruction down the memory hole... where things are dropped and we (thankfully) never have to be reminded of them again...
What’s the difference between Beck and a douche Bag - A Douche Bag is actually useful!
Beck and his co-dependant viewers are funny, but not in a good way.
You're right - they're 'uh oh' funny, not 'ha ha' funny
this is actually an original thought, a fine new shiny object.
He's still here? Damn it...
This morning I took a big Glenn Beck, did the paperwork, pulled the handle, and watched him swirl down the hole... if only we could do that with this Glenn Beck!
Gee, what can I say that's more outrageous than the last show and get me quoted on Crooks and Liars and the Huffington Post?
Ok Glenn i will give you one. Glenn Beck is the Crazy Lunatic who wakes up
everyday and makes up a Bunch of Shit and then Cries like a little Girl NO No
when they try to shove his Anti-Psychotic Drugs Down his throat.
and he has not called yet. The little red phone has been waiting silently for more than 78 days.

I see a lot of assumptions from the left that our growing right wing extreamest problem will self implode. Liberal inaction is just as dangerous as conservative lies.
While Becks assertion that the government is Roman Polanski is ridiculous ( Polanski is probably more compassionate than say...Nancy Pelosi )your statement that most people want government run health care isn`t accurate either. The latest Rasmussen poll shows 49 to 47 against. This is the problem the left and the Democrats in congress are having with selling this bill to the American people, their "facts" just don`t add up.
by professional pollsters and people who depend on polls. Hilariously inaccurate and right-skewed, regardless of their own claims of impartiality and fairness. Like FOX 'News'
