From the September 30 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

Previously:

Promoting newest conspiracy theory, Beck claims Drudge-hyped school kids video is "indoctrination," ties to Van Jones, NEA, Tides

Beck: Obama, SEIU, ACORN, Tides, unions will "set wage[s]" by dictating "a maximum wage" to redistribute wealth

Fox News' left-wing conspiracy chart fetish

      LOL...GREAT screen grab of the village idiot.

      Allow me to demonstrate a typic Beck analysis: Suicide, being an unnatural act, is against God's natural laws. Anyone who commits suicide is evil for acting against God's natural laws. Beck's mother (allegedly) committed suicide, therefore Beck's mother was evil. Since Beck was raised by his mother, who was evil, Beck is also evil. However, this entire bogus analysis would fail not just because of faulty logic but because, in the first place, Beck is probably lying about his mother killing herself. Everything Beck says is a convoluted mess of illogical conclusions with tenuous factual basis. And, on top of that, those faces he makes are something one might expect from a resident of a mental institution...

      Mr. Beck, your conspiracy theories are beginning to resemble an episode of South Park. The one with Mecha-Streisand springs to mind, for some reason, complete with the chorus in the background singing "Bah-bu-WA, BAH-bu-wa!" Of course, your theories do not have the wit, social satire, or creative genius I see in South Park.

      Congratulations on replacing the words on your blackboard with pictures, though. Tell me, how long until it is covered in badly drawn crayon art, like the average suburban fridge?

      caption should read :

      The rantings of a lunatic. Avoid this man at all costs.

      And at the end he suggested that, like chewing tobacco, Valerie Jarrett causes (or is a) cancer.

      No I'm not kidding.

        He actually put the cancer warning next to Michelle's picture. I guess he was inferring that she was a cancer. Who knows what goes through the mind of a lunatic.

      Glenn Beck is wrong when it comes to kids being proud of the first African American President. When is it indoctrination for a President to tell school kids to study hard and stay in school? The President has been treated different compared to other Presidents. Fox News and Tea parties do have a racist agenda. I thought the Country was ready for a African American President but I was wrong. Now, I do believe some protest legitmate about the spending in Washington, but most have a problem with the President skin color. If you watch Fox Network, from Fox and Friends to Hannity, you will see the Obama bashing non stop. Its getting to the point where Fox News is not trying to hide it. You have Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Cavuto, Megan Kelly, Fox and Friends, all have hate agenda toward President Obama. They push their guest to say things negative toward the Obama Administration. So, with the help of Fox they the right wing of the Republican Party will try to take down the Obama Administration from the outside to the inside. Think about it,you have Acorn,you have indoctrination of school kids, they have a problem with him helping Chicago with the games, the "You Lie comment", The Tea party, Republicans voting No on everything, if I had time I can go on.

      So, where is the proof that he actually lied? Now don't all start the name calling, but pull one fact that he lied on this segment. if you had watched the whole segment, he makes some valid points.

      Also, yes he got the Vancouver thing wrong It was Calgary that had the loss on the Olympics and that was his opening statement.

      By the way, Vancouver Washington Olympic committee has already used up 98% of its 660 million emergency fund. So they are getting close to the $1billion mark.

      He wants to be proven wrong on all of his statements; because if it is all true then God help us!
