        Well, the Mormons "baptize" Jews after they're dead, they may as well steal their holidays, too.

        Well I've ALWAYS had this creepy feeling about Beck.. like I knew him from somewhere. Then it hit me - Beck was that kid in school who even the band kids would beat up. And the teachers would let it go on - pretend to be distracted - for a little while before intervening and, suppressing a smile, administer a stern talking-to. He transferred to 5 different schools during his scholastic career, but never moved.

        We always knew that as an adult, his revenge would be as a diabolical pied piper for the very society that despised him. Because that would be the most ironic, biggest payback he could exact. Don't be fooled by his jacket and tie - he's got the tinfoil Captain Chaos outfit hanging in his closet, and he puts it on when he watches himself on the tv.

          Did you read the Salon profile? I read all three parts. The stuff about emotional disturbance, medication, and self-medication are very interesting. Even if he has sobered up, he must have done a lot of damage to his brain, he started at 16 and smoked pot every day for 15 years, the teenage brain is still developing, how did the drug use distort the brain growth?

      Glenn, you really do need to fast and pray, but pray for yourself. I read your profile on Salon.com, you are not a nice person, you have messed up a lot of things. Go and atone for that, as to atoning for the Republic, you have much to atone for there, too. When you talk about a reconning, I would say it came last November. Your side should be atoning for ruining the economy, making lots of enemies abroad and getting us involved in two disasterous wars. Please find some other day to pick for your political motives, the Jewish faith should be respected and left to the faithful, not co-opted by a blatanly commerical charlaton.

      I'm encouraging everyone to fast and pray the day BEFORE Yom Kippur that Glenn Beck will get fired - for the good of "the Republic".

        Dear Glenn's God,

        PLEASE accept Glen's atonement, (YOU know how much he has to "atone" for), but please, PLEASE do it quickly, preferably BEFORE the Jewish Holiday!! Also, if you could do the entire world a HUGE favor? After hearing Glenn's atonement, tell him his career as a political comedienne has come to an end. Tell him you'll reserve a spot in Vegas for him so he can continue to accrue his massive wealth. And ask him to tell his followers to PLEASE follow him to his dream in Las Vegas. Oh, one more thing though-could you get him to endorse a Palin/Bachmann ticket for 2012 just before he leaves? And your faithful servants, Michelle and Sarah are anxiously awaiting your whisper.
        Sincerely,
        A concerned Progressive

      Unreal.

      Then again, if someone is willing to call up a woman who just had a miscarriage to taunt her over it and equate himself to Holocaust victims to play victim...

      You know, I'm thinking about doing something similar in my own life. It's a small spiritual gesture, but it's a start. I'm going to make February 10th get blind drunk in the morning, mock women who have had recent miscarriages, exploit tragedies for the sake of my own fame, convert to a religion just because I think it will help me get laid, sober up, joke about poisoning as attacking elected officials, make wild accusations of racism, make up new holidays and political movements every few hours, and then cry.
