"President Obama, why don't you just set us on fire."

"We voted for change."

"You are spending money that leads only to slavery."



I'm seriously wondering if someone takes a shot at President Obama with a gun, would Glen Beck find a way to defend it?

[parasim]

1. Hmmm. "We voted for change." Does that mean he voted for Obama?

Of course, he didn't but, it's funny to see him act as if he is in the majority and now is disillusioned. What an idiot.

[The Decider2000]

16. No. The more extreme, the more people will watch.

FOX News only cares about ratings. It is political pornography and the wingnuts love it. Beck will have to get more and more insane to keep up his ratings however.

2. Isn't this enough to take this freak OFF the air??

His speech is peppered with violent references; are they too stupid to know he is going to incite some right wing crazy? Take him off the air now; isn't this far worse than Janet Jacksons breast? Get the FCC on this idiots ass now...

[brettdale]

3. Oh No

I hope hes not trying to make some racist point.

Please tell me its just stupidity.

4. Has faux news jumped the shark???

Has faux news jumped the shark, with this?

[depakid]

5. Nope- dumbed down Americans eat this stuff up

[burning rain]

6. And his "gas"-soaked buddy is a dweeb from "Redeye."

How appropriate.

7. Same video posted earlier

8. You do know it was water.

[brettdale]

9. yep

Figured out it was water, but there is a scarier side to that video. The dousing someone with petrol use to be done in south africa a lot to black people, I know Glenn beck was playing the part of Obama and not the redeye eye, but it was still way over the top, Im surprise the more calm faux news Journos like Chris Wallace havent came out with a comment yet,

[emilyg]

10. I saw it and agree - over the top.

[dionysus]

19. nice tacit defense......

:rofl:

[Crowman1979]

23. Yeah, but he sure thinks it's funny to pour gasoline on people.

Someone needs to take that nutjob to a burn ward and see if he thinks that's a good way to get ratings.

[PatrynXX]

11. Lovely, takes everything out of context.

The immigration thing makes sense. That's the problem, the main problem is stopping them from coming in, but what to do with the ones already here. If they've been here 5-10 years I can't see how we'd force them back, it's just not human. Less than that should be on a case by case issue. As always if they speak proper english I seriously have no problems with that. Oddly I was at Aldi's the other day and we had Russians speaking Russian. So are we worried about just south of the border? Course that was among other family members and that I don't entirely have a problem with.

[Plucketeer]

12. Can you imagine one of the left-wing commentators

putting on "theater" like this??? They'd be gone MID-show! This is not even funny in it's basest sense. But that FOX gives this demented asshole a show of his own is really worrying.

[soupkitchen]

13. Hey, Glen, you're already a flaming asshole

[Seldona]

14. This guy needs involentary commitment.

He has taken the phrase 'poor gas on the fire' to a whole new level. Has a 'news' host ever used an actual GAS CAN?

What is he going to do next? Have someone sit there with a gun to their head while he catapults the propaganda? These guys are sadists. They take perverse delight in scaring the shit out of their average moronic viewer.

[niceypoo]

15. At what point will the secret service visit these loudmouths?

[pauldg0]

17. Very good point....

...How did we stop McCarthyism...does anyone know what Congress did back then?

[Democracyinkind]

18. I'm fucking addicted to this nonsense. I should never have started watching it.

Now i'ts like watching a train wreck in progress. You know you shouldn't but you just have to stare.

[Crowman1979]

22. Exactly, I'm waiting for Glenn Beck to have a Tony Montana moment.

[newmac]

20. Beck will protect us all from the Purple Sky Monsters......

Never mind that no Purple Sky Monsters actually exist; at least he is protecting us. LOL

[butterfly77]

21. INSANE and so is his buddy..

who sat their like a damn fool and let him pour water on him. He's talking about "commonsense" he needs to go check into the nearest mental institution,he is going further and further day by day along with the rest of the assorted nuts over at fox.

[Democracyinkind]

24. Imagine: "Hey Red-eye, I wanna pull a fake gasoline burning on my show, care to join?"
