"If you read some of the stuff that we have, that we know he wrote," comedian Bill Maher told CNN's Anderson Cooper Monday. "I mean, it’s sprinkled with things, anti-government ideas, treason, tyranny, the gold — get back to the gold standard, that kind of stuff that seems like, you know, I don’t know who else but Glenn Beck talks about that stuff."

"I’m not saying he was specifically listening to Mr. Beck or anybody else. But Glenn Beck is also a little nutty. I mean, you know, this Jared guy’s chalkboard in his basement, I’m not sure it would look that different than Glenn Beck’s chalkboard," he added.

An "image published to Beck's website, of the conspiracy host holding a handgun and posing like a character in a television action-drama, was recently pulled offline.

1. was it ever confirmed that this was a real screen shot?
The one post about it on DU that I saw had a number of folks suggesting it appeared to be fake.

23. BTW there is a way of archiving a website online
so if it changes you have a copy of the original.

I've done it before on www.archive.org

(I can't remember the exact details of how to do it but I think you have to be a member).

Edited on Tue Jan-11-11 04:01 PM by bushisanidiot

24. notice how you can't read "faith hope and charity" unless
the bullets are pulled back? the idiot who made it probably didn't mean it that way, but to me, it's a metaphor.

5. Only a dipshit points his weapon one direction while looking another
Unless the next words out of his mouth are, "Hey, Watch me shoot my foot off without even looking."

13. But both sides do it
really...

By the way... I sure hope that gun was secured. I mean finger in trigger, hammer back... and he is looking one way while gun is aiming at another...

Bleeding heart liberal here, we would not want Beck to blow off a toe or two.

20. He's looking to the left
The idjits I know who watch him look for stuff like that. I can barely keep silent sometimes.

26. It's apropos
Looks like he's about to shoot himself in the foot. If that isn't a perfect metaphor for his joke of a television show then I don't know what is.

"Lifelong" hunter, Palin did the same thing on national TV. She was fine with the first rifle presumably because she had been coached, but after four misses (!) she was handed another rifle and her finger went directly to the trigger. Ooops.

Rules of gun safety:
1. Treat firearms as if they are loaded
2. Keep the muzzle away from non-targets
3. Keep fingers off the trigger
4. Be sure of your target and of what is beyond it
