Glenn Beck's health: A video history



Glenn Beck may be going blind, he told an audience in Salt Lake City last Saturday, due to macular dystrophy.

In 2008, Beck went to the hospital for routine hemmorrhoid surgergy, and complications ensued.

In November, he had appendicitis.

On his radio show last year, Beck said, "I have no concept of time in reverse." His doctors apparently informed him that his brain was "like a PC," sorting through superhuman amounts of data.

1. Beckkk's always been blind.

[monmouth]

9. The other day he was whining and complaining about all of the

braille that is put on buildings, elevators, etc. as a necessity for the blind. Talk about hyp....ah, what's the use.

[sasquuatch55]

39. Maybe he has Philamengitus of the Penile Contraption.

[sasquuatch55]

41. Isn't that Macular Degeneration? What a moron!

nt

[burnsei sensei]

13. As a legally blind person I take

some offense at that.

[sce56]

18. Offense to Beck or the poster calling him a hypocrite? n/t

[burnsei sensei]

19. To Beck.

He decided long ago that he felt contempt for those who are limited because he refused to see his own limitations.
If he has a retinal disease that will blind him eventually, those glasses aren't going to do him a stitch of good.

2. from DUer blm, earlier today:

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Now he really won't be able to ......

find his ass with both hands, Faux noise will throw
him to a leaper colony .

[3waygeek]

4. More like masturbation...

he's the biggest wanker on TV.

[Po_d Mainiac]

5. No doubt, while slicing at hemmorrhoidal

Tissue sugeons hit one of his ocular nerves.....Explains his shitty outlook.

[Hestia]

6. I do wish the DUZY's were still around - you sir or madame would be top post! LMAO!

[rambler_american]

33. Because clearly

his head is uphizass.

[Tx4obama]

7. Probably has to do with all those chemicals he puts in his eyes in order to cry on his show. n/t

[liberation]

10. Too much sulfuric acid will do that to you...

... if he is rubbing onions to do his whole cry baby concerned troll spiel that is.

[Dookiestix]

8. You know what they call that?

Karma. Such blind hatred can't possibly go unnoticed by a higher power.

[greiner3]

11. Is there a disease where he could go mute?

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Bet his mother told him that would happen.

[davidinalameda]

14. yuck

:rofl:

[eagertolearn]

15. I just don't understand why people are so crazy about him.

Since I was little I've been able to recognize jerks just from a natural sense (I guess intuition) and this guy has all the warnings popping up. How can people not see that this guy is full of it?:shrug:

[Historic NY]

16. If he took his head out of his ass he'd see clearly.....

Hypochondriac (hī-pō-kon’drē-ak): a person with somatic over-concern,
including morbid attention to the details of bodily functioning and
exaggeration of any symptoms no matter how insignificant.

Perhaps convincing him to take to his bed might be the best course of long term treatment.:shrug:

[AtheistCrusader]

17. Well, you know what Mom always says about telling lies.

Or was that something else, I'm not sure now.

[Crowman1979]

20. This bastard is just a political Televangelist.

I can't wait for his downfall. And I hope it involves either prison or one of his followers going berserk.

[MrMickeysMom]

21. Beck said, "I have no concept of time in reverse."

... That's okay, Glenn - You have nothing from the neck up worthy of forming a concept. When your doctors said your brain was like a PC, they were comparing it to Post Craniectomy.

[teknomanzer]

25. What they actually said was...

his brain was like an e-machine running Windows Millennium.

[MrMickeysMom]

26. G-AH!

I stand corrected... :-)

[ThePhilosopher04]

22. I feel a "faith-healing" coming on...

he'll be 20/20 by November...just sayin'.

[breadandwine]

35. Exactly, ThePhilosopher04. Then he'll declare, "Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!" Just like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxrWz9XVvls


This is the beginning of the rise of Glenn Beck. Once he was HEALED everybody just KNEW he was DESTINED to be....


The Fuhrer......

[breadandwine]

36. Beck has already written about having been "healed" ----

"In 2008, Beck created the CD/DVD 'An Unlikely Mormon: The Conversion Story of Glenn Beck,' detailing how he was transformed by the 'healing power' " of his deity.


(Source --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck )



He just needs to be healed ONE MORE TIME and he'll be ready TO TAKE OVER.

[W T F]

23. Intresting, Rush is going deaf, Glenn is going blind..........

And both of them are already dumb......trifecta!

[Tx4obama]

24. and Palin has already gone dumb. n/t

[breadandwine]

38. Beck said his doctor couldn't help him much.

That's Impossible! Capitalist medicine is supposed to solve EVERYTHING!!!!!!

[notadmblnd]

27. Brain is like a PC

:rofl: I don't often bust out laughing out loud. Maybe a little chuckle- when I find something amusing here. But this one woke the cat.

[lobodons]

28. Beck is a Domestic Terrorist

Going blind is way too kind for this piece of filth!!! America needs to do a Mussolini on this bastard!!!

[AzNick]

29. Tears help. Cry more, Beck. Bwahaha!

[The Wizard]

30. There's nothing wrong

with Beck and his followers that couldn't be cured with a vodka/barbiturate cocktail or a gallon of prune juice.

[florida08]

31. such a

narcissistic sociopath.

[pattmarty]

32. Then you will really have the "blind leading the blind". Sorry, I couldn't resist..

[anachro1]

34. Wake me up

when he's blind, starving and dying.

[MrObama]

37. Why Does Glenn Beck Pretend to Cry at the end of the video?
