Glenn Beck Senses America’s Downfall

Glenn Beck embodies not only mouth-foaming insanity but also the U.S. Declaration of Independence that proclaims the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

The right-wing conservative Glenn Beck is Rupert Murdoch’s new media star — and he believes that a Jewish conspiracy is planning a revolution in the United States.

Glenn who? That’s how Americans reacted a few years ago if anyone mentioned the TV talk show host’s name. Meanwhile, left-wing liberals have come to think of him as The Evil One. It wasn’t too long ago that Glenn Beck was just another in a long line of conservative media commentators.

Colleagues like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly were more famous and came across more confidently; Beck seemed more like the shy little brother whom nobody had to take seriously.

That all changed two years ago when CNN took away his time slot. Beck switched to the conservative Fox News network and today everyone knows his face: baby chubby, lively eyes sometimes hidden behind glasses, and a white crew cut.

Right from day one, Beck had a special trademark: he wept. Many of his programs had one moment where he had to choke back a deep sob. While his conservative colleagues railed over the airwaves that the White House had been usurped by a dyed-in-the-wool socialist with the middle name Hussein, the 46-year-old Beck was reaching for his handkerchief.

1. Glenn "Buy Me a Drink" Beck wants you to hoard gold!

[Voice for Peace]

2. "The Evil One?"

:rofl:

[Frustratedlady]

3. Won't Beck be embarrassed when he grows up?

Naw, he's not smart enough to see how ridiculous he is. He's just a sorry example of a man.

[HughBeaumont]

4. More like "The Stupid One".

Evil would imply intelligence. Glenn Beck is merely an overpaid carnival barker for people with political views that can be reduced to playpen sound-bites.

5. Glenn Beck is a trained seal. He's a performer, and his shtick is just that: shtick.

I think it's a mistake to confuse him with someone relevant.

And he's certainly not crazy. He's amoral. It is his audience which is truly crazy.

6. Glemming Beck

leading the crazies to the cliff.

11. Gee, now if he could only sense how we got there and how long we've been there

Of course I know he isn't wired that way. To be an honest observer. Poor Baby, it's too bad we knows how to manipulate the willfully ignorant masses.

[whathehell]

12. Yeah...Maybe he and Boehner could host a two man Cry-In.

[Pathwalker]

13. The words Glen Beck and senses do not belong in the same sentence.
