What Happened to Glenn Beck's Scoop That Was Going to Rock the Nation?

What Happened to Glenn Beck's Scoop That Was Going to Rock the Nation?

Yesterday, Glenn Beck promised to break news within the next 24 hours that was going to rock the nation and, given the vague and cryptic way in which he spoke about it, it seemed to involve information obtained from a whistleblower that had the to potential "take down pretty much the whole power structure."

The 24 hour window has come and gone and the only news Beck's The Blaze has reported on today is that 70 House Republicans are preparing to revolt against comprehensive immigration reform legislation ... and judging by his radio broadcast from today, this was the big news that he promised yesterday...

We genuinely have no idea what is going on.

Beck is outta his fucking mind, and only the most ignorant buffoons would ever consider taking him seriously ...

His seemingly sincere apology about his words in the past having been hateful and divisive (yeah, I almost fell for it), followed by his silent monologue with theatrical music and, of course, the ever-present tears, were just too much. Especially when he simply continues with the same crazy talk, claiming this group or that group is evil. His follows it with the same crazy he always spews.

Now he's equating Occupy with pagan child-killing worship. Ugh.

This guy is now scary crazy to me. I don't think he's a con in the same league as Limbaugh. I think Beck is more dangerous because he believes this shit. Unfortunately the shit changes day by day.

Did he use cue cards on the radio too? Or was his "paralyzed vocal cords" story a complete lie?

Did you see the video? I actually watched.

Major theatrical musical accompaniment...all dramatic, coinciding with tears, of course.

And his new book was displayed all around him. In hindsight, it was just one huge commercial.

I'd have to do some of those to even know about his promised scoop or whatever. Then I'd have had to do all of that again today. That's two days in a row that I'd have to suffer, just what are you trying to do to me? What have I ever done to you to deserve that?
