Beck: Ted Kennedy "lived a long and evil life" -- "Did I say that out loud?"

From the January 6 edition of Premiere Radio Network's The Glenn Beck Program:

If you make tons of money that means God thinks you are special...God favors you. That's why he allowed you to get rich.
To question your METHODS for getting rich would be questioning God. So what if you had to lie to get rich? Those are just minor details. God doesn't care about that.
<sarcasm>
<sarcasm>
See.. 'god' is a 'republican'..
/snark
And how do you square Glenda's alleged "purity" with his willingness to lie on a daily basis?
FACT---Ted Kennedy did kill someone
Isn't it interesting how the left will tiptoe around Islam and be reluctant to associate terrorism with the religion but them turn around and try to blame someone like Beck for the actions of another. If Beck has any responsibility for killings like the one you cite, then we should be blaming Mohammad and his religion for the actions of terrorists. Same principle.
Isn't it not at all interesting and completely incoherent of you to be babbling about Islam here? *
* Bonus FACT: questions end with question marks.
FACT - Laura Bush did kill someone.
What does that tell you? Not a whole hell of a lot IMO...
It tells me that many of those on the right, who inevitably whip out Chappaquiddick like a switchblade everytime Kennedy's name is mentioned, are more likely to distill a person's entire life down to one incident for political gain.
Ted Kennedy was cleared of wrongdoing in the death of Ms. Kopechne . . . even her parents have forgiven him.
As for "the left" tiptoeing around Islam and being reluctant to associate terrorism with the religion . . . it makes just about as much sense as saying that folkd were "tiptoeing" around Catholicism and being reluctant to associate terrorism with that religion in Northern Ireland? Your logic is just ridiculously unsound.
It is the radicals who are responsible for their actions, and it is the radical clerics who spout their nonsense to susceptible, uninformed, disaffected people and egg them on to commit acts of terror . . . kind of like folks on Fox and hate talk radio do to people like you. You get riled up about their LIES and you turn your hatred onto that very loosely defined group you like to call "the left" [anyone who disagrees with you or your heroes on Fox and hate talk radio].
This post was about as inane as the one where you linked to an article which actually disproved the point you were trying to make.
I don't believe, not for a second, that Islam doesn't have something to do with the radical terrorists, of course it does. Fairliberal above, seems to think that liberals don't believe that at all.
What we do believe though, is, again, not all Muslims practice terrorism, or radicalism (actually, very few do), but folks like FL would have us believe that all practitioners of Islam are bad and evil.
On the other hand, Glenn Beck continues to display, on a daily basis, a mean-spirited dishonesty that has been his ticket to wealth.
P.S. Beck has more blood on his hands then Kennedy. Beck uses surrogates to do his dirty work...
Have they even asked forgiveness?
Yes, but most of those deaths were Iraqis. They really don't count on Planet Wingnut.
George W. Bush responded to an attack on our soil by invading and attempting to occupy a country which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the attack on our soil. Can you see the difference?
Even Bush admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks of 9/11.

1. The Politico article talks about Pelosi not wanting cameras in the health care debate, and that Obama said he would want them in there during the campaign, but, being President, and NOT the Speaker of the House, there is nothing he can do about that. The Speaker makes that decision.
2. Article about C-Span asking for permission to televise the discussions. What truth is in this article that you're referring to?
3. Another article about the conference committe being televised. OK. So what?
4. And your last one, Obama promising, and again, he can make no such promise since he's not the Speaker, nor the Majority Leader of the Senate.
So I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here. Talking about something that hasn't even started yet, and yet, you're going a little crazy about it not being covered, as if, anyone is even going to watch it.
You see, there are hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis for an invasion of choice, and an invasion that didn't need to happen.
Do you see the difference now? Probably not...
Anyone who supports their country going to war deserves whatever the consequences of that war will be to them personally.
If you can show us, how the same circumstances existed in Iraq prior to our invasion then you'd have a point.
How do you know Beck is sorry for his behavior in the past?
It seems to me that if someone was an arrogant bastard when he was using drugs and that he is still arrogant today, he may not be truly sorry for his behavior and according to Christ's teachings, not forgiven.
Anyone who pushes for war has the blood of that war on their hands.
Glenn Beck was an advocate for invading Iraq and a supporter of torture.
Were you Senator Kennedy's confessor?
If not, then you are contemptible.
Wrong try again. Thank you playing. What does he win Bob?
Answer: Nothing!
Ted has done what people of this country has asked and he was, no question in my mind, a nobel man. The contrast is between one who stood for evil in this world (glenn) Vs. someone who struggled all his life for the wellbeing of working family (Ted).
We used to say that when we were kids...just reminds us how emotionally immature Glen is.
Like Kennedy, or not, he was a tireless servant to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and fought for his home Commonwealth until his dying days. Yep, Ted, pure evil alright.
Also, yes, he had one death on his hands, and it was reported by Senator Kennedy, and those around him, that this death haunted him for the rest of his life. He also had bouts of alcoholism, which he ultimately conquered after struggling with it (as has Glenn - good for you Glenn by the way) for many years.
We all know that Kennedy is a convenient punching bag for conservatives, always has been, probably always will be, but to call him evil, is just pure hatred and spite.
Mr. Beck, Senator Ted Kennedy did more for America in his first term in office than you'll ever accomplish in your entire lifetime. And, America is a better place for having Ted Kennedy serve as a Senator. Nothing you do, Mr. Beck, will or has made America a better place. You are a petty and petulent little man who has no redeeming value at all.
He didn't lie a country into war that has led to the deaths of thousands. In fact he was against invading Iraq
He didn't sell arms to Iran in violation of US law and then lie about it.
AS a wealthy man, he fought for the middle class.
Funny how the right hits the same beats time after time yet we're to forget that Reagan & Bush screwed this country

You should just quit this website, you're in way over your head here.
Right Bro?
He was investigated, and no criminal charges resulted from said investigation. Was it because he was rich and powerful? Possibly, but we don't really know do we? And would this be beyond the pale of what normally happens in the United States, since rich folks can afford access to better lawyers, and representation.
I also mentioned that he spent the rest of his life atoning for her death, and feeling not very good about it, and feeling very guilty about it.
Why am I a piece of crap? Because I said he was responsible for her death?
If this had happened to me, best case scenario, I would get convicted of involuntary manslaughter, same as what Kennedy could have faced. I wouldn't rot in jail, but I might serve between 40-60 months (Current Mass sentencing guidelines), but I wouldn't rot in jail, and would probably get released for geed behavior long before 60 months.
Last of all, I'm not broke, and I'm definitely not stupid. I've got a good paying engineering job that I enjoy doing. You, sir, on the other hand, have showed time and again, your lack of intellect, and or ignorance in many matters on this board. I'm pretty certain that if you took my commentary from this board, and compared it to your own, a subjective review would most assuredly show me to be smarter than you (based only on our postings). Just saying.
Did I miss any of his other identities?
Why don't go to the studio?
Is that when you're NOT busy being a full time college student and as a semi-literate English major?
Personally, I suspect... based upon the content, style, and nature of your posts here... that you actually split time between being a staffer for the Glenn Dreck show and working for the Department of Redundancy Department.
Let's all cheer for k1dork for his enlightning comment!
<silence>
A friend of my family's once struck a man while he was driving and killed him. He was 17 when it happened, he was immature, he panicked and left the scene. He's since paid dearly for his actions, and lives with it every day of his life.
He's not a bad person. He made a horrible mistake, he took someone else's life by accident and left the scene. But that doesn't make him a horrible person. It's weighed heavily on his soul, and he's lived the past several years doing everything possible to make amends for it.
The fact that you guys are so willing to ONLY use chappaquiddick as an example of why Ted Kennedy was such an evil, despicable person who deserves nothing but disdain and vitriol just goes to show that you have absolutely NOTHING of value to say about any of his politics. You can't debate the issues, so you evoke and exploit a terrible tragedy to try and make your point. It's just disgusting.
Unless you're RICH and POWERFUL, that would usually get you sent to prison.
Also, where's your irrefutable evidence that Kennedy was drunk? That's never been proven. You can make that claim all you want based on your own judgment, but you have absolutely no solid evidence to support that statement.
But like I said, go right on ahead exploiting a tragedy to attack a political opponent. It's very classy, and very par for the course for you righties.
Why don't you attack Laura Bush as a horrible person for killing a young man in a car she smashed into after running a stop sign? Doesn't that make her just as worthy of contempt in your eyes?
It's hilarious that you say you refuse to be a partisan tool, because that's all that you are.
Since when?
There's no evidence that Kennedy was drunk. None.
Um, because actually discussing issues in an intelligent manner is hard?
They are simply incapable of thinking for themselves and simply repeat the same thing fed to them by their masters
