Glenn Beck running scared. Worried about worker uprising.
Comparing AIG officials to farmers. If we get rid of them, we will have nobody to help us. I think feelings of middle and lower income are getting heard.

1. Good, maybe he's pissing off enough of the proletariat
that they'll catch a fucking clue and turn him OFF.

8. Does he have some kind of blog page where we can troll and make it seem like a angry mob is forming?

15. LOL. I'll be there!
Just point me to his domicile.
I used to bombard CNN with complaints about Glenn Becklenuts. Now that he's on Fox, we surely need bigger displays of our rage.

2. Holy cow!
If you're going to keep your phoney baloney job, Glenn, you'd better think of something quick! This won't be easy. You're way out of practice at it, I know. But hundreds of thousands of dollars of overpaid salary depends on your figuring out something.

5. Yeah
For some reason, I see Glenn Beck, and I immediately flash on a bunch of crooked dimwits, in way over their heads. Maybe it's just me.

who the REAL welfare queens are.

12. That is a good one !
There sense of entitlement derived from a smug sense of artificial self worth will be their downfall. Too many people are feeling "I've had enough". The promise of riches from the stock market are dwindling as people see the true workings exposed. Sooner or later someone is going to question the amount of money the brokers actually take for compensation. And how they determine how much money they can take. They like the government representatives like to deal in big numbers so that it only appears like they are stealing pennies. That is the reason government spending is so big. Not necessitated by budget needs, but because it has to be big numbers so they can peel off small percentages without being noticed.

11. Ten years ago...
People like Glenn Beck were the laughingstocks of alt.conspiracy.

Now, they are on TV.

My, haven't we progressed as a society?

14. Anybody watch 30 Rock?
If you were to imagine the Tracy Jordan character becoming a political analyst, you'd get Glenn Beck.

I swear two thirds of Beck's audience are folks on the left side of the blogosphere who watch his show so they can post about what a nutjob he is.

22. That would not surprise me...
I'm willing to bet a substantial chunk of Limpball's, Innanity's and Bill-O's audience are left-leaning watchdogs and writers for "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", who are in search of the day's "Worst Person in the World".

17. Fear is the main mojo for Republicon chickenhawks & their propaganda corps
They live in fear, and project and promote their fear as a way of attempting to manipulate and control other people.

Free clue for Republicon Homelanders: Take a deep breath and get over your fear. Try some courage and insight for a change.

19. Glenn Beck strikes me as the sort of individual who
painstakingly removes the cookie tops and bottoms of an Oreo with his teeth and then instead of eating the Oreo, throws the whole thing away, and expecting sustained applause from bystanders.

I think the ShamWow guy has a brighter future than Glenn Beck on the American landscape. Even after the news of this past week.

20. I Think Beck is a Reformed Alcoholic or Something.
This guy has to be suffering from what GWB had, for I never have heard anybody who was dumber on the air.

21. Hi, tonysam. It's possible. There is certainly a major disconnect
between run-of-the-mill self-promotion and the compulsive behavior Beck shows on the air.

My god I wonder if he's like that in "real life" too.
