        about 5 minutes after Obama rounded up all his enemies and put them in FEMA camps, pulled the plug on Grandma, and kicked a random white man in the balls because he hates white men, and then used the Consistution to clean his bottom after defiling the White House bathroom on his way back home to Kenya.

        Someone is bombing a pipeline in Northern BC. Just some disgruntled locals. They will catch them sooner or later.

      This is really an "up is down," "black is white" kind of commentary that has no basis in the reality of the type of challenges and leadership the president has had/displayed. This is relentless scare tactics, disgusting in its practice.

      At this point, I'm left wondering how even his most ardent supporters understand a word he says.

      Use your head? Do they see the irony? Egads, man.

      You know, if a family member rambled on like Glenn does on a daily basis, I'd seriously be questioning the need for an intervention. At the very least, I'd cork the forks.

      At what point does his family or employer step in? Glenn's paranoia is embarrassing. Glenn, you're not a [i]savant[i]...you're just a garden variety nut. The only difference between you and the guy shouting on the street corner is that FOX gave you a show. And what does that say about FOX...?

      Can't you just imagine how much this piggy will squeal if the environment becomes irretrievably poisoned? He delights in flauting environmental laws, but I am sure he would hate to deal with the results of his and others actions. As to Nigeria, maybe Glenn doesn't know that Nigeria has large oil resources and lots of problems, quite possibly including very poor worker safety, which would kill people. I do share Van Jones incredulous delight with the Oil company environmental campaigns. It is more that a bit hypocritical, or maybe only repentant. His final assertion is the most insulting, maybe we are seeing into Glenn's mind, if he got his way and was put into office.

      When did the oil pipelines in Canada get bombed? Oh right, they haven't. This is just another, "what if" moment brought to you by Mr. Beck, AKA, The Strange One.

        "When did the oil pipelines in Canada get bombed? Oh right, they haven't."


        Sure they did, Mag -- they were cleared to make room for the FEMA camps.

        Haven't you been paying attention? :-)

        It may seem odd (and it probably is) but Glenn Beck is partly correct.

        In northern British Columbia, there have been several bomb explosions at a GAS pipeline. The bomber(s) want the company to cease drilling in the area. The natural gas pipeline carries "sour" gas (i.e. it contains other toxic gases) and any damage would be a threat to all life in the vicinity of the damage.

        So far, the blasts have been small and have resulted in light damage and no leaks.

      Beck: "a! Ha! Ha! I'm still laughing about the oil companies killing people in Nigeria..."

      Hey, Beck, you rancid piece of crap*, it took me about 30 seconds to pull up what Van Jones was alluding to...

        I kind of wish I lived in Beck's imaginary world, at least everyone would be safe from Beck, because he'd be in a FEMA camp. Every time I listen to him, I start to wonder if I really did miss the communique from our shadowy fifth echelon Marxist letter. Then I realize the extent of "liberal" organization in this country is the local public radio stations funding drive. The fact that he's still flapping his mouth proves that he is completely wrong about everything.

      I love the irony in the segment name "Use Your Head" (Feed your head?) since he use his 'gut' instead.

      Why do we have to see his "reaction shot?" If you’re going to show me a clip, then let me see a clip. I don't want to see your over-exaggeration.
