      ROFL-aside from his obvious broken English...

      Doesn't he regularly go on and on about how he DOESN'T promote this type of thing?

      Say you want a revolution? Well, you know, we all want to change your head.

      Glenn, you are the one trying to overthrow the government by inspiring others to do the same. You are the one who claims the government and those in charge of it are evil, the devil, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Lennin, Marx, Socialism, Communism, Fascism. All things the American people have warred against. You are the one who is painting the current state of affairs in terms of warfare and revolution and bloodshed. That's all on you.

      There is no revolution happening. Oh, wait. Are you trapped in the past? You mean the Republican Revolution that Newt Gingrich and his Contract On America launched? None of which got passed? Or, the one Reagan started in the 80s?

      Kindly remember that it was the teabaggers who caused disruptions the weekend health coverage reform passed. YOUR people, Glenn. The ones you are leading down your path of insanity.

        If Beck keeps making these flying u-turns over the Fox News Cuckoo's nest, his last on-air appearance might just be him being put into a straight jacket and hauled off to Blackwell's Island. I think it would be a great place for him.

      Glenn, if what you say is true then you are out of touch with the Tea Party Movement. Revolution, secession...

      He's right - it's the Hope and Change we asked for, like HCR for example.


      ... oh, that wasn't what Glenn was talking about?

      The more people find out about the benefits we're about to get with health care reform, the more foolish Glenn looks.

      Keep marginalizing yourself, dude.

      Beck and all of the other insane right wing talkers remind me of a child having a tantrum. Even though the parent has explained to the child that falling on the floor screaming will not get them any closer to getting what they want, the child only screams louder. While the child hopes their ugly behavior gets them what they want, it has been my experience that the child only gets punished. Usually the punishment was painful and humiliating. This is the kind of thing that Beck and others like him will have to go through in order to change their rhetoric to something that is more civil. Maybe it will come in the form of lost advertisers. Maybe it will come in the form of disasterous interviews that expose them as the liars they are (think Massa interview). Either way, a public beating (figuratively speaking) has to take place.

      I've watched his show two days in a row now and I am so confused, I use to understand his wingnuttery, and now I can't understand what in the HELL he is even talking about anymore.

      He's becoming so confusing, so diluted into the extremes of Conservatism that I can't follow him and I don't know if anyone else here caught some of his shows in the last few days but he is setting up his listeners to completely ignore anyone with a different perspective, he's setting up things that cannot be argued against, like

      "What if I'm right, what if Glenn Beck is right? Well, I might not be, I hope I'm not -- But what if I am! And if they tell you that I'm not right, that's not good enough!" I'm paraphrasing mind you but that's at least close to what he said. I didn't see the clips on MMFA last night, either way -- I think it's approaching a very dangerous apex with Mister Beck and since half of my family are viewers of his show, I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with his nonsense.

        It is, it's very confusing, I listened to his breathy low-toned rhetorical questions about "overthrowing the U.S. Government" and "throwing a bomb" and I wondered where he was going with stuff like that, and it turned out to be nowhere, he went nowhere with that thought, why did he even mention that stuff, what was his point?

        As far as that stuff is concerned, I have two real and serious questions:

        1. Who is he talking about, when he talks like that?

        2. And who is he talking to, who does he imagine he's communicating with, when he asks these pointless and strange rhetorical questions... is he talking in some kind of code I don't understand, or in some 'dog whistle' tone I can't hear?

        It's confusing, when I hear glenn beck's strange intonations like in the clip above, and I wonder who he's talking to and who or what he's talking about, one thing can't help but come to my mind.

      Obama is doing everything he said he would and Americans voted for him overwhelmingly. It's not a revolution. You just lost. Sucks to be you, Beck.

      Is Glenn Beck retarded? The health care bill had 60 votes in the senate and 220 in the house. What is wrong with that?

      This is not a revolution, you dumbass, any more than the adoption of social security and medicare were revolutions.

      Look at all the countries that have single-payer systems. Are they all fascists and communists? No, they're not, are they?

      Glenn, that's called disproving someone's point. It's something that people who are serious about thinking and arguing sometimes do. What happens when they do that is the person whose point was disproved then has to retract their claim. And if they claim was offensive or stupid, or both, then the person who made it normally shuts up for a while and takes some time to rethink their beliefs.

      Glenn Beck: what happens when an impossibly stupid person takes way too much cocaine.
