Beck tells country to pray: "It's 9/11 all over again except we didn't have the collapsing buildings"

From the March 25 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

Oh, how times have changed, eh?
And you're STILL insane...
In quoting Ghandi, which he never did get quite right, he mistakenly said...
I got a big kick out of that one... along with his continued use of quotes from a progressive like the Mahatma.
And let me ask you: how are the contents of the clip right and helpful?
I do not think Beck was referring to the debt crisis at all in this clip.
Energy prices will rise regardless of the Cap-and-Trade.
Cap-and-Trade is not just environmental legislation, it is also meant to lessen our need for fossil fuels. Which would lead to more energy independence.
I did not consider this hateful rhetoric from Beck, just irrational.
Yeah, we should be independent.
If I was in Congress I would propose a bill along the lines of this.
I. In 2010 we start drilling oil in the US
II. In 2011 we end our purchase of foreign oil.
III. Invest x million dollars into green renewable and reusable resources.
IV. From 2011-2021 ween off oil.
V. Offer tax breaks to businesses who have low gas emissions.
VI. In 2022 end oil drilling and rely on renewable energy sources.
We are dependent on foreign countries for our oil, we have been for a long time now, and we will be for many years to come. This insistence on being "independent" is pure fantasy, typical Glenn Beck unreal rhetoric.
Mag, I notice that, among all the quotes from the clip you provided, you didn't include Beck's claim that HE is going solve some of our issues. I don't blame you; it's an incredibly egotistical thing to say. Ever further reason to shun Beck.
This is one of those days.
I will say again, either you are a really sad groupie with a huge man crush on this horrible person or you are him. No other explanation for your need to defend him EVEN when he says reprehensible things like he said in this clip.
Night, Beck-clone.
It would, however, deflect from the true point here, which would serve your purpose quite well.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show?"
MagCynic is an awful person who wants to kill every child he meets,and is generally evil. He helps old ladies across the street, helps sell Girl Scout cookies and is generally a delightful sort.
You'll excuse that first statement, right?
What a difference electing a Black President makes. It has caused the Southern Racists who run the Republican Party to lose their minds.
That's the basic premises.
Just another step towards a progressive utopia, where every aspect of your life is planned and executed via the state.
Shame on them and those that provide them with a platform.
But that like 9/11 in Beck's mind.
There is no doubt now that Beck is a moron.
Why would he say that about himself?
Considering how many Americans die each year because they don't have health insurance, I'd say that opponents of HCR are much more like anti-American terrorists than advocates of reform. And isn't the best basis for this comparison who wantonly kills the most Americans in the service of their bullsh*t ideology?
