Love it or leave it, asshole!
Last week, Glenn Beck warned that the Obama administration is led by Marxist revolutionaries who are preparing to kill millions of people. Today, he announced that he is considering escaping the Marxist plot
by moving to Canada.
Beck recounted a conversation he had with co-host Pat Gray about fleeing the country: Pat said to me a little while ago, If youre serious, I might take you up on that move to Canada thing. I mean I really sincerely thought this weekend, you know, maybe its time to move to Canada.
Maybe its time to move to Canada because these people are not screwing around, Beck said. You dont think theyre going to scoop people up? They will. Theyre revolutionaries. Look at everything they do, theyre revolutionaries, pure and simple.

(4,359 posts)by not being scooped up, he shows that they aren't scooping. so the only scooping going on is his shoveling of s**t.
I think my logic is somewhat sound on this.

(14,093 posts)They think the evil New World Order/Bilderberg/Stonecutters government is behind everything from staging 9-11, faking the moon landing, controlling tornadoes, staging Sandy Hook, staging the marathon bombing, forging birth certificates, turning people gay with juice boxes (seriously - they believe that), etc
Yet this same supposedly all-powerful government can't stop one obese, middle-aged guy in Texas wearing cammie pajammies from exposing it all, and can't get him off the air?
Makes perfect sense

They are no different from cult leaders. I've seen the video of Beck putting Vick's under his eyes so he would cry. What else does the rat bastard do?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/30/AR2010073003254.html
When California Highway Patrol officers stopped him on an interstate in Oakland for driving erratically, Byron Williams, wearing body armor, fired at police with a 9mm handgun, a shotgun and a .308-caliber rifle with armor-piercing bullets, Oakland police say. Shot and captured after injuring two officers, Williams, on parole for bank robbery, told investigators that he wanted "to start a revolution" by "killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU," according to a police affidavit. His mother, Janice, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her son had been watching television news and was upset by "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items."

(14,093 posts)As clownish as Beck is, he's extremely dangerous, because he'll say anything to rile up his idiot audience and has little sense of dignity, responsibility or caring about the consequences.
Here's a guy who's been endorsed by top figures of the GOP for his work, gets published and distributed by companies like Clear Channel, has a regular spot on FOX's top primetime show is friends with tea party favorites, from Palin to Huckabee to Cruz. He goes on the air and tells his audience in all seriousness that the president of the United States is planning to commit mass murder on the nation's citizens.
And no one in the Republican Party has a problem with him for doing so.
If we had a real media, the GOP would be called out for any and all association with him and asked to denounce him.
Instead, we get a bunch of hand-wringing, "both sides do it" excuse making and false equivalence.

(6,244 posts)They also refused anti-war ads several times and held picnics with jet flyovers to support Bush's war in Iraq.
Fox "news" is running their little segments on CC radio blaming Democrats for the shutdown but the publicons can bully CNN and other networks into canceling anything that might be seen as favorable towards Hillary. Yet the dems are silent and will continue to treat Fox and Clear Channel like legitimate news sources.

(14,093 posts)The so-called "Rally for America" events, where he would use soldiers as a prop back drop and get folks like Lee Greenwood to sing while Glenn bashed the Dixie Chicks, war protesters and anyone who would dare even slightly disagree with his idol Dubya (who addressed the events via video)
The rallies accomplished their purpose: The promotion of Glenn Beck.
Through his Iraq war cheerleading, he was able to rise out of the pack of Limbaugh wannabes and become a national name. The "lib'rul" CNN hired him for his first TV gig shortly after the wrap-up of the events.

(53,061 posts)a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have intentionally jumped overboard.[26] Beck has described his mother's death as a suicide in interviews during television and radio broadcasts.[26][27]
After their mother's death, Beck and his older sister moved to their father's home in Bellingham, Washington,[28] where Beck graduated from Sehome High School in June 1982.[29] Beck also regularly vacationed with his maternal grandparents, Ed and Clara Janssen, in Iowa.[30] In the aftermath of his mother's death and subsequent suicide of his stepbrother, Beck has said he used "Dr. Jack Daniel's" to cope. At 18, following his high school graduation, Beck relocated to Provo, Utah, and worked at radio station KAYK. Feeling he "didn't fit in", Beck left Utah after six months,[31] taking a job at Washington, D.C.'s WPGC in February 1983.[28]
Adulthood
"You've never met a more flawed guy than me."
? Glenn Beck[32]
While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire.[33] In 1983, the couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsy as a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988.[33] The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse. He was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict,[34] was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and has described himself as a "borderline schizophrenic."[35][36][37]
By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and imagined shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain.[36] He credits Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with helping him achieve sobriety. He said he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in November 1994, the same month he attended his first AA meeting.[36] Beck later said that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.[28]
I normally don't put much stock in what an alcoholic drug addict who got high every day for 15 years would say but when they assert that they are "borderline schizophrenic" I have to give them some points for self awareness and expertise in mental illness conditions.
G_j
(40,371 posts)I'm amazed.
It sounds like he still is (borderline) schizophrenic. I'd feel sorry for him, if wasn't so incredibly hateful.
Apparently his self awareness does not cover blaming others for his unhappiness.

(16,926 posts)Do we cease clinging onto every word of the Deeply Disturbed - Beck, Bryan Fischer, Michelle Malkin, et al? Just because they feel obliged to spout off on a weekly basis with the latest collision of their confused synapses does not mean a new talking point has been raised with relevance to anyone but their equally brain dead followers. And no, I do not believe that the bulk of the repub base, however misinformed or uneducated they may be, are on the same level of insanity and inanity as Beck and others of his ilk.
Except for repub Congress critters, of course.

(50,562 posts)According to Wikipedia, Beck lives in Texas.
Texas Health and Safety Code 573.001(a) states that:
(A) the person is mentally ill; and
(B) because of that mental illness there is a substantial risk of serious harm to the person or to others unless the person is immediately restrained
[A] written application for the emergency detention of another person ...must state:
(1) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the person evidences mental illness; (2) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the person evidences a substantial risk of serious harm to himself or others;
(3) a specific description of the risk of harm;
(4) that the applicant has reason to believe and does believe that the risk of harm is imminent unless the person is immediately restrained;
(5) that the applicant's beliefs are derived from specific recent behavior, overt acts, attempts, or threats
(6) a detailed description of the specific behavior, acts, attempts, or threats; and
