      No, he is, and has been almost his entire life, an entertainer who will say anything for audience ratings. This is just another gig for this pathetic, empty shell of a human being. He was probably closer to a real human being when he was drunk and depressed because then he knew how f***ed up he was.

        So, he set out to debunk the FEMA camps baloney by insisting it was true...

        Very ingenious. This man is definitely a conservative dirtbag.

      And hes not a Republican or a conservative either.

      You can tell Katie is trying to keep her composure, being in the same room with a raving lunatic who keeps lunging at her as he makes his insane points.

        It was in one of those lunging moments that I expected Katie to lose her composure, shriek in fear and mace him in the eyes. Sadly, the interview continued.

        Yes,

        You can tell Dreck knew he was caught when Couric asked him about the FEMA camps. Seems like he just wanted to reach over and, well, who knows?...

        This man is a disgrace. The fact that he has such a following just shows how badly degraded our media has become.

      Transcript to the "outtakes"....

      Glenn Beck to Katie Curic:

      I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

      It's those left-wing groups who are against me who are calling me that.

      And believe me, as soon as I can, I'll connect the dots to expose those socialist who are calling me a conspiracy theorist!

      I've been working on my blackboard to diagram how they work. I'll expose them soon on my show!

      [Beck has a wild-eyed look on his red face]

      You should watch it to see that I am not a nutcase, or paranoid, or schizophrenic! [he's shouting]

      [pause as Beck looks around the room]

      Wait! Did you hear that? Who said that?

      Sorry, Katie. I think they're coming for me now. Gotta go! Up, up and away!

      [he jumps out the window]

      Conspiracy theorist Beck tells Couric "I'm not a conspiracy theorist"

      He's not a libertarian either! Which is more proof that the man is losing it!

      He claims to be one type of person, yet acts like another kind of person.

      Now that's a clear sign of insanity, is it not?

      Liar, liar, Magic Undies on fire!

      Funny how Glenn so condescendingly schools Katie about "the internet" while apparently forgetting things like this are "out there."

      Ooopsie!

      So Glenn Beck claims that it was his producers who call upon him to keep addressing false information.

      Is Glenn Beck saying that Fox News is making him report false information as if it were true?

        Any bad rumors about Barack Obama are presumed to be true on FOX unless and until FOX has possession of absolute, uncontrovertable, rock-solid, 100% proof that it's not. And we all know how difficult it is, and how long it takes, to come up with absolute, uncontrovertable, rock-solid, 100% proof so, just to be on the safe side, FOX will, in the meantime, continue to report the rumor as true.

        Beck doesn't have to say producers told him to keep addressing false information. The mere fact that he is still on the show, speaks for itself.

          I just think it is interesting how he said that, when Fox News at the same time is supposedly claiming to the public that they are not unbalanced and unfair.

      Glen Beck is a walking contradition. Whoopi called Beck a "lying sack of dog-mess" to his face. Beck got caught lying for no reason other than to make up a story.
      This out-right lying idiot said he was upset with government before Obama got in office, yet only now he is raising his voice. The only reason he is raising his voice now is because he has a problem with this black President. Not only is Beck ignorant and hateful he has no credibility with people who take time to think logically.
      Beck is popular because he, like Palin, Joe Wilson, [Klan]nity, Rush Limbaugh etc, etc speak too, and for, the lowest form of life. Racists and infidels.

      People who aren't journalists rarely talk in terms of "sitting on stories."
      His defense of "FEMA internment camp thing" is that he had people out trying to disprove it. That's what police detectives do.

      Which seems to make him a highly paid gossipmonger with a severe Barney Fife complex.

      He should just say, "I'm not a journalist. I just play one on T.V.!"

      FEMA camps? Hold on just one minute. Wouldn't a more important debate be "do they actually exist?" Obviously Glenn Beck is a lying FoxNews stooge, so I don't believe him when he says he's debunked the evidence of mass-detention programs.

      Address it or support it?? Big difference - responsible journalists would tell their viewers there is no truth to it - or there is no facts behind it.
