Glen Beck ... suggests that he is a prophet?

Beck: "God is giving a plan, I think, to me," says God is asking us to "stand, peacefully, quietly, with anger"

Either he thinks he is so important that he is a prophet - or he is trying to finagle a way to not look at part to blame for violent eruptions of unhinged folks taking his fiery rhetoric to action.

Either way, is there any denial of the hugeness of his ego?

1. Beck is protecting himself

He knows all this bs he spews will lead to something, but if he goes on air and says dont be violent, he cant be charged with anything if
a riot happens.

2. Profit, not prophet,

7. Indeed.

3. I think he's going to blow up - I doubt if you can't act like without a chemical

cause/reason.

4. More of a 'Profit' is what he means..

[merh]

5. And Jesus wept and said

"Not this shit again!"

6. well, as long as he doesn't preach any of that "social justice stuff"

:sarcasm:

8. Such rich irony

ala "we should be nonviolent but be angry that folks do the work that Jesus spoke of in the Gospels".

9. He's so grandiose that eventually he's going to say he IS god

The man is mentally ill. He obviously used alcohol for many years to self medicate and keep a lid on it. Now the lid is off and the crazy is blowing out all over.

The only question is whether or not the final flameout will be on the air or off the air.

14. Exactly, he will eventually unravel. Just watching/listening one can tell he's

on the edge, and quite unstable IMO. I don't know how loudly god is talking to him yet, can't stand watching him, but soon he will most likely hear god talking loudly to him, commanding his actions, and justifying his actions. Reminds me of Flip Wilson years ago, "The Devil made me do it!"

10. Typical Beck...

"THEY ARE TAKING YOUR COUNTRY AWAY! THE SOCIALISTS ARE COMING! THEY MUST BE STOPPED! NAZI'S ARE LIBERALS IN DISGUISE! THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS, FOR YOUR HEALTH CARE, FOR YOUR ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE! OBAMA HATES WHITE PEOPLE! THEY ARE STEALING YOUR CHILDRENS FUTURE! IF YOU DON'T ACT NOW AND ACT QUICKLY YOU WILL ALL BE LIVING UNDER THE NEW STALIN/HITLER/MAO!

but no violence please.

11. Why would anyone be surprised????

13. First there was Moroni

Now there is Moron.

15. You can tell he's a convert to Mormonism that doesn't even understand the Churhes beliefs

According to LDS beliefs one can get a revelation for themselves, their families (and then only if he is the head of the family) or for people under his priesthood authority - somehing he does not have over his radio and TV viewers.

16. This is not uncommon among Mormons

Seems like they all want to be Joesph Smith.

[BuelahWitch]

17. Yep, the men are told they're gods

I'll bet he gets touchy-feely with the young girls too...

[bridgit]

18. Yes, he is - a false one: "Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep...

"...but are really vicious wolves." Matthew 7:15

19. Wait - God told Glen Beck to shut the fuck up?
