Oh be still my heart. Glenn Beck says some crazy ass shit, including counting all the way up to the number three (I'm so proud of him!).
He's promising the world that he'll blow the lid off this motherfucker (sadly, those are my words, not his) if someone in the government doesn't come clean about their cover up of the bombing's ties to a Saudi national. He's never been so ashamed of his country, he tells us, than he is now at this hour, apparently wanting to extend his world record shattering ability to always do the exact opposite of what normal people do.
I'm not sure when exactly this video was made, tho those more up on the news can figure it from the scroll at bottom.
But please, enjoy the spectacle

(9,895 posts)All kidding aside, Beck is a shell of a human being. Everything he does, literally EVERYTHING, is done with an eye towards exploitation and self-enrichment. He is a sub-human greed machine of self-promotion and not worthy of licking the gum off my shoes. I would never wish that status on a fellow DU member! (LOL)

(20,776 posts)Its his own little paranoid delusions that we will be fed...from the mind of Glenn Beck, who probably should be in a hospital some where taking medications. Why do we allow people like this a microphone and never give sane people the same privilege?

(53,947 posts)Sanity isn't newsworthy and it isn't compelling televideostreaming. There should probably be a hat tip to the First Amendment somewhere in my reply too. But I know by "Why do we allow" you mean "why does this crap get viewership?" Because P.T. Barnum.

(53,947 posts)Factor in speaking fees, book sales, kickbacks from goldsellers, and other advertising revenues, his operation is pulling down about $30-$50 million per year from cleaning out the rubes. It doesn't take a lot of suckers to build your own private candyland.
