Glenn Beck is Losing His Mind

[MarcMus]

He freaked out in an interview with Bill O'Reilly yesterday. BuzzFlash has a good analysis of the story.

Glenn Beck's Second Cry for Help, Projecting his Frustrations onto Alabama Gunman

He's also planning on starting a new show where he does some crazy things like raise a militia with Chuck Norris. Does anyone know what's up with that?

1. A skull full of maggots does not constitute a "mind."

:shrug:

[Ohio Joe]

2. Losing?

Sorry, it left him a long time ago. Now he is just another right wing douche bag looking for the next shocking thing to say so he can get some publicity.

11. Yup, he is a wannabe, a POS......typ Pub...no answers....only sniping

3. Check under that thimble

It could very well be there. Otherwise, we're gonna need a good set of tweezers and a really powerful magnifying glass.

6. That's his We Surround Them crap - Later Today (Friday)

Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?

Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?

Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?

If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.

We surround them.

Get ready for the “We Surround Them” movement.

Viewing parties are planned across Louisiana for 4 p.m. Friday, although, curiously, none is planned in largely conservative Acadiana. The closest to us are being held in Baton Rouge, Alexandria and Sulphur.

The viewing parties center around conservative commentator and Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck, the originator of the movement. In Friday’s 4 p.m. broadcast on Fox, Beck will lay out the principles and values of “We Surround Them” in an effort to energize Americans concerned about a (perceived or real) move to the left in our nation’s capital.

You can find out more about the viewing parties and the “We Surround Them” movement here.

Like the militia movement of the early ’90s and the Christian Identity politics that persist today, there is the whiff of threat in “We Surround Them,” although in a decidedly more pedestrian way. Beck’s nine principles and 12 values feature de rigueur maxims — God, country, family, personal responsibility. But Beck makes reference to “parts of the country that will rise up” in a recent interview with right-wing darling and fading action hero Chuck Norris.

And Norris uses eyebrow-raising terminology in a column on the conservative Web site WorldNet Daily: “Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns of our nation.”
Rise up? Cell groups?

If a “We Surround Them” viewing party does not materialize here in Lafayette or a surrounding community, be at the Times Grill, 15130 Market St. in Baton Rouge at 4 p.m. Friday. The viewing parties in Alexandria and Sulphur are either TBA or in a private home.

7. Just keep the stunts coming

And if they really do try to raise a militia we will be watching the birth of a terrorist organization. They are in the minority and will attempt to rule by terrorist tactics. That's the only way they can regain power.

Let's see if that works. On second thought, let's not.

9. Hearing Billo go on about

"fighting the good fight" was pretty funny. Actually, they both look pretty burned out more than freaked out, as though even they don't believe their own bullshit anymore.

[Ilsa]

10. I'm looking forward to the Secret Service paying them both a visit

when they go off the deep end and encourage their viewers to act violent.

[madamesilverspurs]

12. Too many brain cells

drowned while swimming around in booze. Paranoia on steroids. Self-delusion playing host to megalomania. Warm piss being passed off as fine wine.



And the rightwing gives it a microphone every time.

[madmom]

13. These people are publicly calling for the over throw of a legitimately elected

government. Why are they not arrested?

[PA Democrat]

14. Glenn Beck should not attempt any fancy thought processes

to try to pin the Alabama shootings on liberalism. He doesn't have the requisite logic and intelligence to do so. A simple perusal of some of the news accounts on this guy would have disproved Beck's crazy theory.

The guy was angry at family members, had a bitter fight over possession of a family bible, was upset by his parents' divorce, had refused to go to an uncle's funeral. The guy had a persecution complex when it came to bosses and coworkers and had a list of every petty grievance imaginable against people from his workplace, including a suspicion that someone had reported him for not wearing earplugs as required. How is all of this the fault of liberals? Beck is NUTS in his crazed zeal to blame every bad turn of events, every tragedy on liberals.

15. by his own admission, it wouldn't be the first time ...

[spanone]

16. you have to be a pile of human excrement to make o'reilly sound coherent

[Edweird]

17. I don't believe he had a mind to lose in the first place....

[libodem]

18. If he ever comes down off that Ritalin

induced manic phase of bi-polar, he could easily decide to commit suicide and take a few people with him.

19. A bunch of damn nuts!
