Glenn Beck on Chris Dodd's cancer

[brettdale]

First he had some guy from the UK on, talking about how screwed up the UK healthcare system is, how it does cost because if you have a operation you have time off work and your taxes pay for it anyway.

This guy also said you have to wait years for a hip replacement.

After all this, beck said.

"I wish I him no illwill, but Chris Dodd has Prostate cancer and I am now going to challenge him to have it treated in the UK"

1. WHAT A POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, BECK IS

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Where I am sure Mr. Dodd would be well-cared fror in a prompt enough manner.

[Marr]

3. Even Beck cannot be this stupid. It's not about the quality of

care available in any given country. It's the cost of care that's killing us.

But even if you accept his deceitful misrepresentation, isn't this the same man who decried the *quality* of US healthcare for months?

4. Beck, I challenge you to prove you have a brain.

Or a backbone for that matter.


Freakin' entertainer.



ETA: And the way things are going for you, in a few weeks
I'll be challenging you to prove you still have a job.

5. Does anyone have links to his remaining advertisers? I think

Mr. Beck's time has come.

8. I think he's down to these guys:

6. How in the world is Dodd going to do that?

Even Beck's most loyal viewers will believe him brain dead for this gem.

7. It's probably an actor faking a British accent

That doesn't even make any sense.

if you have a operation you have time off work

Yeah, well my boss is going to be kind of annoyed if I have surgery sitting at my desk. Difficult to get blood out of the carpet.

17. Maybe an actor - never seen his show, never will.

The only people who have surgical operations and are not taking time off are the people actually doing the surgery!

Plus in the UK if you're employed there's statutory sick pay - so your operation is paid for, you are guaranteed some money whilst on leave, and since if it is non-critial you may well be wait listed for it, you can PLAN your time off. Wonderful thing this surgical scheduling is...

9. I personally don't understand why you would want to watch him...

I can't... the few times I did watch, albeit for only a few seconds, all I did was get nauseous .... the man is hideous! He has no entertainment value except to piss off rationally minded people, and whip the freepers into a frenzy of hate. Watch if you must, but me personally...I'd rather watch the shopping channel.:puke: My hat's off to you for a being able to stomach it!

10. fuckface....i shouldn't hate people, but some make it irresistible

11. Dodd is covered by a very excellent health insurance plan

Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

12. Hey, Glenn, read my lips.............." KARMA"

[brettdale]

13. What happened to his week off?

What happened to his week off?

[cynatnite]

14. Anyone remember Glenn Beck's tirade towards hospital workers...

after the surgery he had on his ass?

I remember what the little fuck said. They should have put his head back in his ass after that moronic video of his. :grr:

[Maru Kitteh]

15. That would be apt, were Sen. Dodd pushing for the NHS to take over US healthcare

I do wish they would, but that's another subject.

I don't know where to start with Beck other than pointing out the obvious. Beck is a below-average shuckster with a seemingly organic lack of humanity.

[mwooldri]

16. If Sen. Dodd were in the UK,

he'd be with a specialist within 2 weeks for his prostate cancer and on therapy quite quickly.

Waiting times are a bit of a lottery though. Sometimes its a few weeks, but sometimes yes you can wait up to a year for a hip replacement. Would feel like years but nope, not actual years.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

18. In the meantime, other asshats are complaining

because Dodd went to NYC for treatment instead of having it in CT.
