But BecKKK is so out there, that his rants aren't really worth Cenk's time. :crazy:

2. I still don't ge the Glenn Beck fascination

His schtick is basically waking up everyday, scanning the news and then coming up with as non-sensical or dishonest way to portray it as supremely dangerous to his listeners. How hard is that?

10. Glenn Beck is like a passenger train wreck...

you know the results are going to be horrible, but you just cannot look away.

3. That Beck has a following is a sad commentary on our society.

4. Are Beck's 15 minutes up yet?

:shrug:

[Uncle Joe]

5. I hope Beck keeps defending BP, he will rapidly lose more of his audience and

be relegated to the dustbin of propaganda history.

What a worthless, corporate supremacist ass-wipe.

Thanks for the thread, ihavenobias.

6. I am so sure

The shrimp boaters are paying attention to Glenn Becks rants on Fox and actively forgiving
The BP CEO for his company's little "oopsie" simply because he is white.

What a load of crap!

If Glenn Beck is really glorified by the Tea Party for his wisdom, these
people are more stupid than anyone thought.

7. Hyperbole and racism aside...

...Beck made a good point.
I thought it was dumb for Obama to say he didn't want to talk to Hayward, and his reasoning was unsound.

Otherwise - Yeah, Beck is a complete loon!

8. Bleck

How can ol' Batshit lie like that and not fear being caught? No sense of shame. What a vapid soul-less creature. He is so destructive to our country.

9. K&R n/t

11. This is like serendipity, or something

Just to keep an eye on what the loon is up to, I watch Beck for about 15 minutes (that's the maximum I can take) once every couple of months or so and the last time I watched him was while he was doing this. At the time I hoped someone at Media Matters or TYT would pick up on it and set the record straight, and lo and behold Cenk does exactly that.

Big K&R and thanks for posting, Tom.
