Glenn Beck hit a new low of douchebaggery.

[niss]

Jesus tap dancing Christ.

Beck described the brutal incident “as a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler Youth. I mean who sends their kids to a political camp? Disturbing," he added.

What a fucking asshole. And this is the poster boy for the American right.

[System Message]

Famous people say retarded things everyday. That is what they do.

There are similarities between the Norwegian Labour camps run by Socialists and the camps run by the National Socialists.
They both have political idealogies thay are not allowed to be questioned.
Any discussion about political idealogies other than what is approved by the Camp leaders is forbidden.
Verbotten.
Why does Glen Beck never ask questions like "Why are Muslims allowed in Rome,but Christians,Jews,andBuddists......are forbiden from Mecca?
Reciprocity............is coming the men in the funny hats say so!

[azimuthaviation]

I read that in the LA Times (tho I am an avid Haaretz reader). They chose a very ironic picture of Beck for this story.

And Israel too. Just two weeks ago he was given the highest pulpit in the land, the Knesset. I dont think he would ever make a speech to the Canadian parliament or the senate of his own country.

JULY 11 2011: "What we see coming from your heart, its not played. We wish we had more people like you, we need more people like you"

Danny Ayalon Deputy foreign minister

Dont worry if you missed his speech, hes coming back to Israel in August

[Rockie]

Glenn Beck has a messiah complex that comes out loud and clear in how he conducts his "sermons". He isn't ranting so much as preaching. The really scary part is the size and devotion of his following.

Well, these guys do: http://www.meetup.com/tampa912/events/22130491/ But that's the right sort of camp, so it's OK..

ETA: I thought that Beck's show had been cancelled?

[TopperHarley]

His tv show on Fox News is no more, but he still does radio... sadly.

[Cam]

I was going to say. He doesn't do TV anymore just radio and his online site. I liked him when he was on CNN. If people keep paying attention and giving him press, he will remain popular.

Too many right wing christians and too few lions

I can't wait to watch the The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight.

I thought Glenn Beck was raised as a Mormon.Mormons are not accepted as Christians by some Christians merely tolerated as suppliers of bodies/converts to the mainstream Christian Church.

The really important question about Beck is how did he get the name of one of the most refreshing beers in the world ???

[Siddley Hawker]

Maybe his mom was a St. Pauli Girl.

[2R]

I am glad i am not the only one to find humour in a man whose religion prohibits alcohol, but allows twelve year old girls to be sold off into spiritual marriages (white slavery) is named after a refreshing beer.

Accepted as Christians, as if that really means anything.
Look I grew up in the 50's and I remember very well how one form of christianity was unacceptable to other forms. All of them have the "secret" that allows them to get to heaven while the rest of the heathens are left behind, what a pile of crap. If you really study religion it would be easier to believe in something like scientology than what those goat herders came up with.

Hey man, if Scientology is good enough for Maverick, it's good enough for me.

Is Harper taking lessons? Is this the reason he is so eager to eliminate public funding of democracy???

[robertsailor1]

Public funding of democracy??? Surely you jest. Sounds like something a disgruntled Liberal would be whining about.

Yeah, I know... I like my political parties (ALL of them) beholden to the electorate, rather than to oil companies, unions, or ANY vested interest.

[robertsailor1]

I hear you and understand but it just gives them even more money to piss away plus there are a bunch of them that I don't want to give so much as a dime.

[Icebound]

...plus there are a bunch of them that I don't want to give so much as a dime.

I am afraid that is precisely the point. There are some that I don't want to give a dime, either.

But democracy has to be inclusive... all voices are supposed to be heard.... or you get the seeds of what is happening in the middle-east, and has happened elsewhere. If you allow only vested interests to fund the campaigns of only friendly political parties, the voices of the rest are effectively suppressed.... and it will not be long before either or both:

1. a de-facto dictatorship by the haves.
2. violence by the have-nots

Although it is fashionable to think of "violence" as being instigated by those evil terrorists.... the fact is that a lot of it is have-nots lashing out at haves. Dig deeper into the Northern Ireland troubles, and they were more motivated by exclusion rather than religion. Dig deeper into the Israeli situation and... oh, sorry, thats not allowed.

[robertsailor1]

Lets not take this too far it wasn't that long ago that the Liberals invented this little gem of all Canadians paying towards political parties..we managed quite well for a lot of years without it.

Douchebaggery has the blessing of some people, namely the Chief Rabbi of Israel.

To Glenn Beck: "God will bless you for all you did. Im sure that you do a very important job, if I could be able to look to the heaven a lot of angels are smiling for you." Rabbi Yona Metzger
