Discussing Olympic bid, Beck trashes Chicago: "Chicago is good at... organized Mafi--oops, did I say that out loud?"

Somehow I doubt that the majority of citizens in Chicago want GLENN BECK being their mouthpiece.

Somehow I doubt the majority of citizens of Chicago appreciate Beck's rhetoric about their hometown boy being "racist, or having a deep-seeded hatred of white people, or white culture". Somehow I don't think they applaud Beck's whining about the President hopping across the pond for LESS THAN A DAY to lobby for the city's Olympic chances.

Somehow, I doubt the citizens of Chicago think GLENN BECK speaks for them.

Doesn't Glenn know the Chicago mob is referred to as "The Outfit?"

"Mafi--oops" is soooooo East Coast!

The town and state are broke and this idiot wants to spend us into the next century, we can't afford it. This man has spent our money to put Oprah on a government plane when she can afford to buy one herself.

He should be throuwn out of office for waiting our money!!

Glen Beck is good at:

Oops did I type this out loud!

I wonder how all the Beck fans in Chicago like hearing him badmouth their city?

There are certain places within my fair city of Chicago that I would suggest that maroon Beck not set foot in -- like everywhere.

Beck making idiotic statements like the mafia one should be of no surprise to anyone, but what I did find interesting was his going after Chicago for privatizing a city function 0:29-0:50. Shouldn't that be a good thing according to him?

Business model for Olympics is radically different today. Geez, people don't have any business sense about why Chicago wants the 5 rings all over town.

People dis Montreal as a money-loser. The Olympics of Montreal era was amateur athletes, minimal corporate sponsorship and minimal commercialism. Lots of nationalism and ego, but minimal commercialism.

That all changed with 1984 LA Olympics which was Reagan-style "If you can't run for big sponsorship money, don't put on the shoes." Big bucks. Forget fame, show me the money. Top athletes pulling in a couple million a year with sponsorship deals.

In short, the key reason to oppose the Olympics in Chicago is pure personal politics.

Okay Glennie, let's summarize:

Chicago and Chicagoans should decry any notion of obtaining the penultimate "world class" sporting event because it might not make a lot of money.

Chicago will fail at the Olympics because prior games have been nominal on making money or have lost money.

Chicago is overrun with criminals who will - if the games do make money - will take all the money and prestige away from the games.

1. Why do you hate America and want us to lose the opportunity for hosting a universally admired multi-cultural event?

2. Why do you hate Chicago and assume "the City that works" will fail, notwithstanding you know nothing about the city, the bid, or what has been proposed for development and infrastructure upgrade?

3. If your premise is that the Olympics are a money loser, why don't you want the Mafi. . . (the Outfit) involved? After all, they'll lose money.

Notwithstanding all your hosed up logic, as a Chicago suburbanite, let me add: Glen, why uhah don'ts youse go fuuuuhhkkk yooself, over buuuy deere. Jagg offf.

What you are saying, there Glenn? Maybe they're reasons besides making money for having the Olympics. Shouldn't the decision be up to the people in Chicago? Why bring up an issue and then insult everybody responsible for deciding on that issue? Stupidity then is part of Glenn; what the hack it's part of Beck.

The thing that gets me about beck is that he comes across as if he is speaking for everyone. He is such an ignorant doosh.
