Beck criticizes and attacks Obama's parents all the while saying he is not criticizing and attacking!
Beck is the scum of the earth!

3. I watch Beck's introduction about once a month out of curiosity and saw the beginning of this
Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 11:58 PM by Turborama
When he repeatedly said "I'm not going to attack and smear our President's deceased family or anything" (paraphrased) I instantly turned it off, as it's a well known fact that when he says he's not going to do something he always means the opposite. He's gone way over the line with this one.

PS Thanks for the C&L link, I tried to find an article about this after watching it and could only find these embedded versions of the video on Media Matters:

4. The only tragic thing about Glenn Beck
is that he is still on the air, in spite of the minor problem that he wouldn't know what a fact was if it bit him.

11. Holy moly that was entertaining. I better understand the Glenn Beck thing now. The assumption
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 01:18 AM by anAustralianobserver
that his rants are based on is that you can't take Obama at his word about his basic principles/values. (I'm not saying you can take Obama at his word about everything.)

If you start there then you can weave a compelling conspiracy - to people who intuit that the US govt. doesn't operate transparently, but aren't sure exactly who the bad guys are.

Obviously going by Obama's actions and words he's not a socialist; but to people who aren't yet sophisticated when it comes to judging info they hear on TV, just the fact that someone says something on TV makes it compelling.

(In a few years I think a lot of these people will realise they were taken for a ride.)

I still can't determine if Beck is just a bit paranoid, or a cynical propagandist like Rush L. Probably a bit of both but I'm leaning more towards paranoid. Though I find it hard to believe he really thinks Obama is 'seizing control of' and 'taking over' all private industry.

I used to think Bill Clinton was some kind of diabolical master of duplicity until I came to the conclusion that he was generally a well-meaning and talented man who let himself be compromised in a few critical areas.

I bet Glenn B has as many sexual skeletons in the closet as Bill Clinton did (I only bring this up because Beck did here); he comes across to me as a guilty-ashamed kind of guy who doesn't tell his wife everything she needs to know. (I used to hide stuff from my partner as well so I'm not just being holier-than-thou.)

I think the Tea Party movement (and probably Glenn Beck himself) is going through the novice stage of its internet conspiracy phase - and can't yet discern real conspiracies from the glamorous grand ones that religious and socially dysfunctional people especially are enthralled by.

12. Here's another clip from the same show/date - sorta like a Part Four
Obama Childhood Socialist Influence Marxist Policies GLENN BECK April 6 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHyy4DdUGQU

More Beck lies....

One thing Beck said that was wrong/misleading is that 'Obama seized control of the student loan industry and wiped it out'.
What Obama actually did was take away the subsidies (tax payer dollars) away from the banks - saving us $68 BILLION dollars.

I haven't watch the full video yet... I'm off to bed.

I'm sure there are tons more in there that is completely wrong ;)

13. Kenya, Unitarians, and "Critical Theory"? He's scraping the barrell
His dad:

An economist is a pro-western Kenyan government.

His mom:

"Critical Thinker"/"Critical Theory"

Supports Adlai Stevenson, Democrat and Anti-Communist.

His Grandparents:

Unitarian Universalists?

Dear God, he must be scraping the barel.

Frank Marshal Davis, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, they must have run out of Ammunition. Unitarian Universalists are Communists now? "Critical Thinkers" are Communists? Pro-Western Kenyan Economists are Communists?

Dear God, he sets the bar so damn low.

"Critical Thinking" is a school of sociology, not a political ideology. Unitarian Universalists are well known religious denomination in the U.S. The government of Kenya has historically been pro-western or non-alligned.

Glenn Beck thinks Communism grows on trees. He should really open a book sometime, because if he did, he'd realize that not everything "outside of the box" is Communist, and maybe Communist is not just a synonym for evil, but an actual thing.

18. I was thinking that even if it wasn't lies... what does that prove?
I was raised by republicans parents and their parents were republicans. My mom worked at state capitol and their best friends were republican senators and one of their daughters lived with us a couple of years and was my good friend. When she turned old enough to vote she voted republican (an absentee ballot and her dad stood behind her as she filled it out as I tried to give him hell, but that's beside the point)
My younger sisters are republicans.

I am clearly a republican then and even if I never voted for a republican and donate to only Dems and work for only Dems and vote for only Dems...
you might like to believe me when I say I am a liberal but now that you know about my childhood, how can you. Who taught be liberal principals? There was no one in my childhood to do that.
Because Beck has made clear... the political leanings of those around us as children absolutely determines out future.

Dang, I guess I better start watching fox now that I am facing the fact that I am a republican.

24. Beck's logic is so faulty it makes me what to scream.
Of course it makes no sense to try to conclude anyone's political affinity from odd pseudo facts from a persons childhood.

21. He;s another soul with a northern European superiority issue who takes little morsels and
transforms them into dirigibles by emitting outrage that is reeking with contempt for the purpose of maintaining a hate and fear platform for other people of Northern European heritage who don't reason well and only tolerate their self designed world buoyed up by the volumes of others they can draw in and motivate.

What has happened is that the Rove system of flipping truth and blame has easily entrenched itself into every word uttered on any subject by these people.

The biggest problem is that we can't see it as well as people who are looking at us from around the world.

We are being delivered venom and it is killing this nation. The same people who believe they are the only ones going to heaven are selling a version of hell.

The same who believe they are the only ones going to heaven have no hearts.

This isn't simple politics, this is a word and cry death by some who are obsessed with hate.

The passion of these souls is damning, deliberate, and oozing with the hate of all humanity. It is a phenomena. It is an abandonment of all things taught them in their childhood.

Their view from their look out point sees the melting pot of this country and rejects a couple centuries of building on it (after stealing the country).

There shouldn't be anything wrong with this Northern European connection, but there is for those who operate out of the U.S. and who dominate the networks in a vicious display of what happens when hearts are missing and lost or high-jacked.

abandoned him by committing suicide . .

What does this say about Glenn Beck??

Troubled puppy, eh??

23. The tragedy of his childhood...
The tragedy of Beck's childhood is that it ever was. Imagine if his dad had pulled out early! Imagine the tweak of IQ elevation on the airwaves as a result of that early withdrawl. Imagine a country where there were premature withdrawls of the fathers of all Beck's viewers!

Is there enough age disparity to where it would be calendrically possible that Limbaugh is Beck's daddy? Maybe Limbaugh's dad was a sperm bank depositor, and Glenn's foster dad was too busy bakin' bread to have bread a son of his own! :crazy:
