Glenn Beck Rambles About Botched Surgery, Suicidal Thoughts
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/04/glenn-beck-rambles-about-_n_79833.html

Glenn Beck has filmed a monologue on the apparently botched surgery he had and posted it on YouTube. He talks about contemplating suicide because of pain. He calls his care at a yet-to-be-named hospital "phenomenal, phenomenally bad."
He went on, "I have stories that will melt your brain." The hospital in question also apparently takes care of, says Beck, "the President of GE".
He's off the air this week and back on Monday. The YouTube ramble is a tease for his return. He also posted a note on his website that ends, "Join me for my NEW PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE, OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND BLOOD SHOOTING FROM PLACES BLOOD SHOULD NOT SHOOT OUT OF."



pssssst, Glen, maybe the doctors have seen your show and the botched surgery wasn't an accident. I know if I was in the O.R. with you ....

2. Suicide?
I may have to change my sig line. It's a bit long in the tooth anyway.

3. The attempt to remove his head from his ass was a complete failure.
I'm sure the doctors tried the best they could, but they're only human. :shrug:

6. The operation is called a rectal-cranial extraction
and I simply can't believe that the brave doctors even attempted this operation on this patient!!! The risks were simply too high and the amount of cranial insertion simply too great for modern medicine.

7. This may have opened his eyes to some things

I can't stand Glenn Beck. He's as far to the right as they go. HOWEVER......

I just watched that whole video and that guy just came off an experience that - obviously - has had a profound effect on him.

I don't see how anyone could have wathed that and posted some of the things said here.

Hate is so easy. We're better than that.

Edit: Here is direct link to the video:

10. No sympathy for Nazis. Once he feels better, he'll be back to Jew/Liberal baiting in no time
Liberals being the New Jews in the BushReich.

To Beck I say, as I would to a Nazi in 1933, "You want my sympathy today, but tomorrow you go back to wishing me dead. You get my sympathy when you DEMONSTRATE you have changed and not a moment before."

But he won't change, well, I suppose it is possible but I give it no more than a 1% chance. This man has been a Nazi Monster for too long.

If he does by some mriacle become a decent human being, if he renounces his evil bullshit (I could care less about the fact that his individual views might disagree with mine), denounces the Bushiganda, the dehumanization, and absolutist bullshit...the technology of abuse through Bushiganda, THEN he has my sympathies, whether or not he is against abortion or environemtnal regulation or whatever.

But not before. We made those mistakes with "reformed" Nazis in the past, and when they were done needing our help or sympathies, they went right back to doing what they were doing.

11. It won't last. If he heals up, then it's back to form.
The empathy goes away after a while with these whack jobs. I've seen it a dozen times.
