[madeline_con]

1. Uh... Isn't that what Yom Kippur *is*?

And he's a lunatic fringe Mormon, so what's he got to say about it anyhow?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Yom Kippur IS a day of prayer and fasting -

I'm not about to click on that link, but if Glenn Beck is going to take up Judaism, well, I really cannot go on.................

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

3. ...And for Easter we'll hand out colored eggs

and worship a rabbit.

Seriously. Chrisitans. We need to talk about that one.

[madeline_con]

4. Let's hijack it, ala Beckboy, and call it "walking in the founders' steps".

:puke:

[DesertRat]

5. No one worships a rabbit. Seriously.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Speak for yourself. Be careful lest the Great Bunny smite you.

[redwitch]

9. The Hare Club for Men South Park episode.

Hilariously funny. And I AM a Christian.

[DaveinJapan]

11. Randy Marsh does. n/t

[Cassandra]

21. Have you forgotten that they crucified the Easter Bunny?

Ye of short attention span.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

30. We'll have a special meeting for you humor-impaired Christians

My Mom will be the Chair...

[marshall]

41. the goddess Eostre is the object of worship

The rabbit and the egg are merely her symbols.

[dipsydoodle]

6. Chrisitans ?

:)

[Duke Newcombe]

14. I don't ever think Christians have worshipped a rabbit, actually.

The church of Harveyism is waiting down the street for your snarkiness.

[gypsylud]

20. you're right, just a dead guy on a cross

[Duke Newcombe]

22. You be dead for three days and resurrect!

And take the boys fishing! Didn't think you could.

[madeline_con]

24. Please don't bash Christians here.

I was ridiculing Beck.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

32. I'm merely pointing out (as a Christian)

That the whole symbology behind the celebration of Easter is really kind of loopy.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

31. I see you attended the George Costanza School of Witty Ripostes...

nt

[question everything]

26. that rabbi, silly, not rabbit

.... never mind.

29. Kicks are for Trids

If you get that reference, you're totally scaring me...

[question everything]

39. I dunnot. About that silly joke

or about the strange blog?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

45. Silly joke...

I learned that when I was about eight years old.

[question everything]

46. And then there was the original commercial

We did not have a TV at home in the 60s but my spouse started laughing when I described this exchange.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. I didn't know George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin were Jewish . . . .

:sarcasm:

[rockymountaindem]

12. Little did you know that teh Jooz have been running the show from the git-go

but that's just what *they* want you to believe.

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

33. You rock. I dedicate this tweet to you

[Rick Myers]

10. We need a HOST that will go BALLISTIC like Beck or Rush...

Take it to them full throttle...

[frazzled]

13. Only if he's circumcised first

I'm sorry, but he or any of his male followers who are not circumcised will have to have a mohel come and cut their foreskin first.

[madeline_con]

18. Probably the first time THAT's been brought up in years.

:evilgrin:

[question everything]

25. And you know that he is not... how? (nt)

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

15. for Beck, i think every day should be a day of fasting.

[sakabatou]

16. It already is fuck-wit.

and I should know because, as Cartman would say, I'm a "fucking Jew."

[musette_sf]

17. considering Bill Maher's commenary last night

those teabaggers maybe could use a little fasting

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. I scared the dog with my laughter

Stupid as all hell, that Beck. :rofl:

[Douglas Carpenter]

23. Glen Beck is so arrogant. I never thought it was my place to lecture Jews, Muslims or even Mormons

on how to practice the ritual aspect of their faith

Besides, as I understand it, Yom Kippur IS a day of prayer and fasting.

That would be like a non-Muslim lecturing Muslims that they should fast between sunrise and sunset during Ramadan or lecturing Mormons that they they should wear a special kind of underwear.

[Swamp Rat]

27. Dumber than a bag of Oberhammers

[madeline_con]

38. Thanks Swamp Rat!

:hi:

[msanthrope]

28. Have the Jews not suffered enough? n/t

[LeftyMom]

34. That's a good idea. Somebody should try that.

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

35. I've been trying to tell you guys that Glenn Beck is an idiot

Plus I get another chance to type those five words

[bridgit]

36. But then 'they' came for *the rest* of my Torah

[juno jones]

37. Hey Beck!

What's the unpronoucable name of God? Ya got 15 seconds and NO peeking.

[LeftishBrit]

40. Well, that's what it is. Though I don't know why Glenn Beck is involved at all.

[JBoy]

42. And yesterday was Talk Like a Pirate *FOR THE REPUBLIC* Day.

[krabigirl]

43. Wow, what an idiot.

[asdjrocky]

44. It gets to the point where I just don't know how to respond to this stupidity.
