Beck's advice to his daughter, Liberty U grads, includes "shoot to kill"

The guy that spoke at my commencement is a Ph.D and won a nobel prize.

I'm just saying.

Liberty considers videography a form of making graven images, I guess.

"Life is hard. Then it gets harder. Then you die." And if it gets too hard and you put that pistol to your head, just remember what Glenn Beck told you: "Shoot to kill".

Truly, these are inspiring words for these grads as they set out on life's journey.

we were fortunate to be spared the video

Actually i wish i could see Beck's U of I Don't Remember robes; i'd wager they're white, with a hood.

That is slanderous towards bats.

Your right. Here all the laughter?? I bet these kids are having a hard time containing themselves!! HAHAHAHAHA!!

Beck is crying because of all the sponsors that left his show.

I still have to ask this question, why is Beck entertaining? I have seen his show and I see nothing that is appealing on any level. Seeing that guy perform is as electrifying as running an electric current through a dead frog. Yes the legs twitch but there is no brain doing the work.

And learn to forgive.

EXCEPT FOR THAT BASTARD WOODROW WILSON!!!!!!!!!

daughter's friend: "Is that your DAD up there?!"
Beck's daughter: "Yeah."
df: "Is he drunk or what?"
bd: "Yeah."
a pause
df: "Um, so, was that 'yeah' to drunk, or 'yeah' to what?"
bd: "Both. Excuse me, I've got to go do something."
Ten minutes pass, followed by the sound of a single gunshot.

Had this rambling, crazed speech been delivered by Nancy Pelosi, the preceding skit would've been acted out on Glenn's radio show, with the appropriate corrections made so that it applied to Speaker Pelosi and not Glenn Beck.

However, since Beck did it, my posting of this skit is completely inflammatory, over the top, unacceptable hyperbole, and an immediate apology should be demanded from me, in public. Preferably with weeping and a promise never to do it again. And I will. Just as soon as Beck apologizes for laughing about pretending to poison Speaker Pelosi's wine.

. . .I think these grads will have their first WTF moment when they try to get a job with this "degree"

Your forgot: "misquoting scripture". What was that bit about "putting your feet in the gospel of peace"? Weird. Here's the actual thing:

either:
Isaiah 52:7 - How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

or:
Romans 10:15 - And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Is he advocating euthanasia?

The Academy wouldn't take him. Some things are beyond the expertise of modern behavioral science.

I thought the same thing. Except the "Wear Suncsreen" speech was more stream of consciousness whereas Beck's "Cabs Smell Worse in the Summer" speech was a stream of unconsciousness. Totally disjointed, filled with delusion and fears.

Not entirely sure that "freshly enlightened minds" applies to the grads of Lib U.... not by their design, anyway. Agreed with everything else, though !!!

No, it has to have a point.

ME TOO ! ( getting paid )
I just received my chicken in the mail(snail)

Dang! People get paid to post here? Why didn't somebody tell me, I could have used the money.

Actually, I will agree with a couple of your points. Glenn Beck is dumb and Glenn is crazy.

One more thing, you're an extremely gullible human being if you think that Beck believes the sh*t he spews. It's all about self-promotion.

Hey genius. I don't get any money from this site. My payoff is the catharsis that comes from speaking a glorious truth. For example: the only thing scarier than Beck is that there are people out there who actually buy into his particular brand of bull crap.

Glenn Beck isn't telling us anything new or profound, but completely insane. He's completely shifted from his original libertarian roots that he claimed he was so loyal to while on CNN...thanks to the almighty dollar. Take a step back and listen--really listen--to what he is saying. He thinks people would like to kill him (whatever--this stuff is comedy gold). He thinks that there is some sort of global conspiracy. he doesn't understand the basic differences--very profound differences--between socialism, communism, and nazism/fascism. He's a multi-millionaire who claims that he understands what it's like to be an ordinary joe. Whack job.

What our grandparents taught us?

Mine raised children through the Great Depression. They didn't lose much because they had nothing to lose. They saw FDR as one of our greatest presidents and the one responsible for leading them through hard financial times.

They saw their sons answer the call to fight fascism in Europe and the beaches and waters of the Pacific. Their daughters worked long hours in munitions factories to do their part in the war against fascism.

They taught their grandchildren empathy, compassion and most of all an appreciation for what it means to be an American.

In short, my grandparents would be called fascists by Beck, even though their sons risked everything fighting against real fascism in WWII or communists even though their grandsons risked all fighting communism in South East Asia.

Glenn Beck is an ill-informed, cowardly religious fraud. He's risen to a position of power and wealth on the backs of the people whose troubles he's ridiculed throughout his shock jock radio career which he's now turned into a daily political screed, attacking everything my grand parents, parents and I have fought against our entire lives.

I've had the best modern history teachers in the world, the people who actually lived it. How dare you or Beck come here and push your alternative reality on those of us who've actually taken part in that history?

no the tragedy is that you're actually trying to defend this clown. he is basically sanctioning murder of people who disagree with his ideas. now if anyone gets killed and say well they listened to glen beck then that makes him an accessory. and by 2 degrees of seperation that includes you as well

My parents, grandparents and great-grandparents taught me that decent people did not lie.

Why wouldn't they be? What else would you expect from students at a University founded by Jerry Falwell? They've been getting the conservative line drilled into their friggin' skulls for four years or more; of course they're going to be excited to hear what this little distempered lapdog of Rupert Murdoch's has to say.

I'm hardly shocked that Liberty chose to call on Beck as a speaker. That "school" loses more credibility as an institution of higher learning every day.

Otherwise, were Beck asked to speak at any commencement I was a part of I simply wouldn't show up. To hell with him.

It's not a real college, it's Liberty University. It helps to be ignorant there.

If you are ignorant enough, and want to stay that way, it even has a program (which appears to be available only as a minor -- perhaps a nod to getting accredited) in creation studies:

http://www.liberty.edu/academics/arts-sciences/creation/index.cfm?PID=9821

It looks like they're trying to pretend to the outside world that it is something other than a science program, but they teach it as scientific, albeit biblical, truth.

This is not an academic institution.
