Now he's saying this

[tuvor]

1. Would you be so kind as to distill it down?

I don't think I can stand to watch him for more than one minute, let alone eleven plus.

[lame54]

4. ok

video one - he is on his show ripping Michael Moore and Sicko
video two - from his hospital bed whining about the horrendous care he received

[baldguy]

6. In the first one "Micheal Moore hates America"

because he points out the problems with America's health care system.

In the second, Glen Beck becomes a victim of America's health care system.

[terisan]

2. Ironic and Pathetic. He seems truly disturbed. nt

[MrScorpio]

3. "I don't know how anyone can dispute that America has the highest quality health care..."

"...that this planet has ever known."













I'm imagining Glenn knows now.

[tridim]

5. So is he going to become a Democrat on Monday?

Is he going to apologize to Moore?

Because anything less and he's just talking out of his ass.

[alfredo]

21. Moore should send him a get well soon card, and an invitation

to privately discuss his experiences.

[MiniMe]

41. "to privately discuss his experiences"

Yeah, on film. :rofl:

[alfredo]

42. We'd get to see the real Glenn, only slightly more coherent than

Charlton Heston in "Bowling For Columbine."

[lame54]

30. If he does become a Democrat - they'll revoke his $50,000,000...

contract - not much chance of that happening

[Beelzebud]

7. Glenn beck thought America had the best healthcare in the world, before he didn't.

[CoffeeCat]

8. Wow, that's amazing...

Did you find that? Kudos to you. Those two videos back-to-back are incredibly powerful.

I find whole situation very interesting.

I've always felt that Glenn Beck is one personal epiphany away from coming to his senses.
He touts that he is a "recovered alcoholic" but it's obvious that he's a dry drunk. His
show, power and money and his endless "shtick" are his new drugs.

Every once in a while you see a glimmer of hope, that there's a real human being inside
there, wanting to emerge from a thick wall of denial.

I am still unclear about what happened to Beck.

It's possible that this could be a real opportunity for him. Sometimes it takes a
major event to destroy a person's denial system which forces them to face themselves and
their underlying demons.

It's possible that this event may have left him very raw, with holes punched in
his denial.

I find this interesting. He'll either move forward in a very difficult struggle--shedding
more of his denial. Or, he'll retreat to his comfort zone and we'll get more vitriol and
kow towing to this perverse, corrupt government that is destroying our nation.

Unlike Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter---who are completely beyond repair at this point--I
think Beck could cross over.

I welcome anyone who has the guts and courage to live an authentic life.

9. Jon Stewart needs these videos!!!!

11. Enjoy your stay asshole.

[Seabiscuit]

20. I get the distinct feeling

he's not really from Oslo, Norway.

More like Dumbfuckistan, Nebraska.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. Was wondering the same thing, because Norway really does have a decent health care system.

But maybe the guy is so used to having a decent health care system that he doesn't realize how much ours sucks, and thinks Moore must be making it up.

Or else he's just a dumbass from Dumbfuckistan.

[salin]

26. yes it does.

he also refers to himself as a "new democrat" - not a whole lot of "new democrats" in Norway. However many of my relatives have told me that the country is moving towards a more libertarian/individualistic way of thinking politically (and they expressed concern per this trend.)

[Seabiscuit]

45. I don't think he enjoyed it too much, it was so short-lived.

[auntAgonist]

12. anti-American liar and a fraud

that's kinda pushing it isn't it?


:popcorn: ?

[City Lights]

13. Michael Moore rocks!

You, not so much. :P

[salin]

14. psst...

are you sure you aren't logged on to that *other* sight? Or is this parody?

[LTR]

15. Lemme get this straight... a guy in Oslo, Norway...

passing judgement on what is American/un-American.

:wtf:

P.S. - Dissent is about as American as you can get. Not sure how it works in your country.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Are you drunk?

[Exultant Democracy]

17. You get mixed up and post on the wrong board?

[Beelzebud]

18. Glenn Beck is a fucking idiot, and so are you!

Ignored.

[MrScorpio]

19. OOOOOO. A Beck fan! Time for some fun

Ok, ok, FIRST: What did Moore lie about? That people like Beck are routinely hosed by our for-profit health care system where, people in countries with "socialized medicine" routinely get far better care for less cost?

ANd where is the proof of fraud, other than what you've pulled out of you ass?

C'mon Beck boy, spill the beans before you're zapped

[jpak]

22. Welcome to DU!!!!111

:evilgrin:

[lame54]

24. I see your from Norway - you might find this interesting...

[Blarch]

25. whats monday ?

the day you get banned ?

[Dukkha]

27. nice try freeper troll

Seems like you and your partner in crime Beck should check in to a mental ward together to cure your truth hurts syndrome. Then you can spend the day agreeing with each other on everything.

and speaking of embarrassing Glenn Beck videos I always like this gem where he sexually harassed a woman on the air

[Anarcho-Socialist]

29. You're not going to last long

Enjoy your brief stay.

[salin]

35. he's gone.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

36. Heh

:D

[TankLV]

40. Point out just ONE lie, asshole. "Enjoy" your short stay...

you really are an idiot, no doubt about that...

[unapatriciated]

28. not so much fun walking in our shoes,,eh beck?

and he has a lot more at his disposal than the poor and working class. The best health care a fifty million dollar contract can buy.

[graywarrior]

31. I wish I could feel sorry for him, but...

he's such an arrogant ass. He'll be up and maniacally spouting his mouth off in a week or so.

[sakabatou]

32. Who's laughing now, Beck?

[VenusRising]

33. "If this hospital doesn't care about the CEO of GE..."

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[salin]

34. he does then say..."how is some regular schlub treated?"

I hope he heals, and that this experience does open his eyes. If it does, he better get his appetite back quickly, as he has a lot of crow to eat - starting with that rant on Moore and 'Sicko.' However that seems to be a big "if".

[VenusRising]

38. I just don't think many people in the real world

really care about the CEO of GE and his statement is very telling of where his POV comes from. It sounds like he considers himself one of the mighty, rich, and powerful. It seems to me that he shot his mouth off and got some karmic smackdown.

I am really sorry that he has to deal with that. It's not fair. But he's still alive and there are plenty of people who are not because they were denied coverage, mal-practice, etc. I wish him a speedy recovery from both his surgery and his previous delusions of the American Health Care System.

[spotbird]

37. It's desperate promotion

The man has so little going for him that he has to whine about his hospital "mistreatment" to boost his ratings.

[Orangepeel]

39. what does Beck say about trial lawyers?

just wonderin'

[Quantess]

43. Love it!

[bridgit]

44. Saul becomes Paul becomes Saul again then Glenn Beck becoming Micheal Moore?!?

Then a bearded, unkempt, bed ridden, drug addled self-hating soul-eater?!!!??? Dude should have spared the world and gone straight to JackAss


:nopity:
