Beck calls Americans 'lazy'




In Tuesday night’s installment of “The Glenn Beck Show,” the controversial entertainer said that Americans who refuse to toil away in agricultural fields sprayed with pesticides for pennies on the dollar are “lazy.” He also said that immigrants working in those same fields do not deserve Civil Rights or respect from Americans.

Mayor Norris says of racist hatemonger Beck ... “In general, I agree with Glenn Beck’s delivery and everything, I enjoy watching him” in response to Skagit County's Young Democrats' objections to the mayor proclaiming a Glenn Beck Day in Mt Vernon.


Beck put in a plug for himself while he was on a roll ... “You know who will save this country? Alcoholics and drug addicts.” :rofl:

1. I think Beck needs to follow me around for 8 hours, if he can keep up.

3. Because joining AA was the hardest thing he's ever done, and he
thinks that it epitomizes 'hard work'.

but a lot of other GOP pols & winger pundits are too?

oligarchy can stick his lecture where the sun don't shine.

9. Glenn Beck is a Clown.
He's a clown...So what do you expect from him? Glenn Beck is a fake news reporter! Glenn Beck needs to learn how to tell the truth and get his facts straight on his show. He love tainting the minds of others on fox with his clown ass views.


I'm going to say this again...

GLENN BECK + FOX NEWS= CLOWNS AND IDIOTS

12. Most Americans are lazy ... that's why Faux has such a following ...
.... too many people are willing to let someone else do the thinking for them, and the result is O'Reilly, Rushbo and Beck. Then of course when its time to actually get out and act like a REAL citizen and particpate and volunteer and reach out to make the country a better place, well they'd rather let us pointy heads do it while they jeer from the sidelines and protest us 'taking over'.

Oh wait, why am I typing this - American Idol is on. And Survivor. I gotta get to my TiVo while my remote controlled lawn mower trims my lawn and my microwave cooks my dinner, and my extra-new washer and dryer does my laundry and even has a cycle that steams the clothes so I don't have to iron them!

Americans, lazy? Bah. :sarcasm:

13. if that don't beat all
A guy who runs his mouth for a living having the audacity to call us lazy. :eyes:

I'm not one to jump straight to the ugly solution, rather the opposite, but I think the time may be approaching when the only solution to the problem with vermin like this is to drag them into the streets and beat them senseless :grr:

14. Does Beck actually make things, create things, invent things, or add value to things?
Or does he just sit on his ass all day long, not choosing to engage in the production of goods or services, bringing nothing into the world?

16. His Hatefest Hour is carried on ClusterFaux.



So that should pretty well answer the question of whether
or not he contributes to society in a productive manner.

17. 8 hours of work plus college and homework plus learning iphone development...
And, yes, a little forum posting in the evenings and 30+ minutes of exercising every morning.

Glenn can shove it.

18. Ok, Glenn, You do my job, and I'll do yours.
And then we'll compare notes at the end of the day.

19. I don;t like a link that does not include actual quotes
I am too lazy to look up what was actually said, if that can even be found.

It's somewhat interesting that Beck is not as ostracized as Michael Moore. Has Moore ever been given a key to a city?
