The US is long overdue for an on-air suicide.

ok, he HAS to be in on the joke.

also, when he gets to the part about America being a kid at a party where it's not supposed to be or whatever, he sounds exactly like Michael Scott from The Office.

wonder if anyone buys this horsecrap...

Crazy like the most evil, nefarious, mendacious little fox the henhouse has seen in many a year.

I don't see any problems with this math. Don't you know all those foreigners all have at least 9 clone bodies provided to them by their evil socialized stem cell researching governments? Get cancer, die six times. Makes sense to me.

Shots fired from the White House?

FOX News. It's not really news.

Part of me wants to say that it's about time this happened (the most dominant part) but I can't help thinking that this will not end well.

I actually kinda agree with Michael Clemente on this one. But for different reasons. Fox is like the troll on a message board. You aren't going to change their mind because they have an agenda and will stick with it regardless of logic. The Obama Administration should just keep quiet about their intent with regards to Fox lunacy and simply govern.

And if they really wanted to make a statement, they'd stop appearing on the network altogether. Let Fox concoct their cockamamie theories in a vacuum. I can't see how it would make any difference.

Would someone please go pick up my eyeballs? They seem to have rolled right across the room while I was watching that. He doesn't expect anyone to really believe that fake, maudlin show of crocodile tears? I've seen more convincing acting from a middle school production of "Grease".

That over dramatic bullshit belongs in the Obama threat thread. He's trying to incite violence with that bullshit, I guarantee it.

"Remember when Coke and Kodak ads were pure Americanana? Now we smell like booze and pot because we're at a party we don't want to be at."

"You know what to do, minions. I'm crying so you know I must be serious."

There's a special place in hell reserved for Glen Beck. This is more offensive then the ridiculous Dan Brown nonsense he was trying to pull about a month back. This is purely ridiculous and exploitative.

Will someone explain to me why we're in such bad shape right now compared to the eight years with Bush? Would Beck please explain it to me?

It's the fact that he holds up commercials as evidence of a better time that really blows my colon. Fucking commercials? I don't even know how to respond to something that boneheaded.

It makes me think he's calling out scared old people with guns.

All while crying about the "simpler times." Give me a break. Disgusting.

The question is: when is Glen Beck going to stand up and deny the rumours that he raped and murdered a little girl in 1990? Unless he answers these rumours (which I don't believe), they won't go away. Come on Glen, come clean about these rumours.

Apologies if this had already been posted. Or if it's seen as tedious. He's still a twat though.

Denying something and coming clean are two very different things.

This is hilarious:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/1..._n_351458.html

It contains a link to a .pdf copy of the former webmaster's letter to Beck that he sent after the ruling was issued. I strongly recommend that you take a moment to read it. He absolutely destroys Beck. Destroys him.

In case you missed it, Jon Stewart is fucking amazing.

God, it's almost CREEPY how many of Beck's mannerisms he throws up there without bursting into laughter.

That video is indeed hysterical. This all reminds me of how Beck tried to co-opt Muse's track "Uprising" off their new album as some affirmation of his own fucked ideas, & they demanded that he disassociate himself from them publicly & quickly. Personally, I think the guy is dangerous because of all of the angry tea party rhetoric that he panders to, but at least he gets publicly clowned enough that it balances out a little.

It seems that Karma is a real bitch . Twice this year Glenn Beck has had major surgery after saying negative things about Obama.

Is the FNC broadcast in the PRC? If not, what on earth inspired the Red Chinese to burn our President in effigy?

I hope he's well enough to cry about suspected terrorists receiving trials soon. I'm sure the fact that criminal suspects are being tried for their alleged crimes will make him very, very upset.

All right, someone finally freaked me out about the President's safety. Thanks a lot, Frank Schaeffer.

Schaffer lost me when he started talking about how we all had to start supporting Obama no matter what. Sorry, no. I'm worried about the crazies too, but that doesn't mean we put our civic responsibilities and common sense on hold.

It's an unfortunate catch-22: the Republican party was strong for a long time because they stifled dissent and kept everyone marching in lockstep, but that's also what led them over the cliff where they're lying right now. Despite the frustration of having Democrats pulling in different directions when there's shit that needs doing, trying to corral them into one ideological framework is a recipe for disaster.
